At the Melwood training base, except for a few young people and a few veterans, everyone else had just returned from the national team. At this time, they were chatting about their experiences with the national team, and the atmosphere was relatively relaxed.
"Hi, Li." Gerrard walked past Li Tiancheng: "Congratulations on your successful debut with the national team."
"Thank you." Li Tiancheng yawned: "How are you doing?"
"It's both good and bad." Gerrard sighed: "The good thing is that I scored, the bad thing is that England didn't win, it was just a draw." Leading by two goals, it was still equalized by Austria. Don't say this.
said.
After chatting with his teammates for a while, Li Tiancheng found that he was the happiest one. The others either did not win the national team, or they were just marginal players in the national team and sat on the bench for the entire game.
The most unlucky person is probably Baros. He failed to keep his main position in the national team and was injured himself.
After chatting for a while, his mood improved a lot. He actually felt like he couldn't get excited just now, which made Li Tiancheng suddenly nervous. He had never felt like this before. He was always full of energy during training.
Chatting with seniors is still very useful. After this kind of mental tension is suddenly relaxed, the feeling of burnout caused is still very common. Just adjust it and it will be fine.
Although I have quite a lot of experience in intercontinental competitions, I have never had such an experience in such a short period of time, adjusting back and forth with time differences and changing mental states.
"I learned it again." Li Tiancheng secretly said to himself.
It's just that there are only two days left before the fifth round of the Premier League, and I don't know how much condition I can recover.
At this time, the players have just gathered at Melwood and can only resume training.
Benitez looked at the laziness of the players and his face turned dark. He couldn't say anything because they really didn't mean it.
After the international match day, it is a common phenomenon for players that their competitive status declines seriously.
The biggest reason is that I am tired from traveling back and forth.
The FIFA virus is a pain that every successful club must bear.
A giant team like Liverpool, well, actually it's a little bit worse. Some giant clubs are at their peak, they are more seriously injured, and most of their players are also the main players in their own national teams.
Benitez could only be thankful that no one else was injured except Baros.
But this is the only blessing.
Liverpool's midfield and backcourt originally seemed thin and chaotic, but now they are finally straightened out and are gradually getting on the right track. At least the personnel are in place.
But the problem came again.
Originally, the forward line was characterized by strong soldiers and strong horses, but now it is the strength of the forward line that defeats the weak.
Benitez never dreamed that in just one month, he would go from having the four great strikers to being unavailable!
Owen left for Real Madrid and turned from Liverpool's golden boy to a pursuer of the "Dream of the Son of Heaven"!
Cisse was originally known for his scoring ability, but unfortunately it didn't show up.
The same goes for Baros. The new top scorer of the European Cup wasted too much energy on women. He abandoned his old girlfriend and quickly found a new girl from the Czech Republic, Katerina. I hope this lady.
Young Pangler seems to be of no use now.
We can't let Li Tiancheng take the top spot. The 17-year-old boy's physique cannot be overloaded. This is something the club has repeatedly emphasized. I didn't expect that his healthy growth is not only related to competitive performance, but also to his economic status.
The original plan went smoothly and only required a few games to transition.
4231 is the formation that can best unleash the potential of its personnel, and I can use it very well, but now the absence of forwards has hindered the plan to build 4231 again.
The players who serve as this lone forward must not only be fast and comprehensive in skills, but also have advanced running awareness and a keen sense of smell in front of the goal.
Originally they all looked suitable, but in fact none of them worked!
Benitez felt that he was actually a little upset, which was strange. This emotion was a bit unfamiliar and he hadn't felt it for a long time.
However, we must seize the time. If we delay any longer, it is not impossible that our results this season will collapse. Then the fun will be great!
Benitez looked at the field blankly...
Li Tiancheng was a little happy. His teammates have so much experience. It would be a waste not to use them: "Hey, Milan, why are you so jet-lagged?"
"Just take a nap and you'll be fine." Baros turned to look at Li Tiancheng. Is this kid stupid?
"So fast?" Li Tiancheng was slightly stunned.
"It's only two hours, how troublesome it is!" Rise interjected.
Li Tiancheng went to see Baros, who nodded: "Absolutely, there's a time difference of about two hours."
Li Tiancheng went to see Rise again, and Rise shrugged: "Norway is closer."
Li Tiancheng looked around at his teammates.
Cisse spread his hands: "France is closer."
Alonso: "You know, Spain is not far away either."
Hyypia: "Finland is not very far."
Hamann: "Li, although I didn't make the national team this time, Germany is not too far away!"
Li Tiancheng frowned: "In other words, I am the farthest one?"
"Of course," Carragher laughed: "Although I don't know where Malaysia is, I know that China is on the other side of the world, and of course you are the farthest!"
"In other words, there is no experience to draw from." Li Tian sighed.
"You can ask other people for advice, such as the team doctor." Gerrard reminded kindly.
"Gentlemen, we must take turns to do physical examinations. Okay, hurry up, Li, you come first." Paco has arranged the preliminary work and will inform everyone now.
"Why me first?" Li Tiancheng asked casually as he started to move.
"Because you consume the most." Paco was very sure.
Carragher and the others burst into laughter.
Paco was a little shocked. Did I say something wrong?
Li Tiancheng rolled his eyes because what you said is so right.
Although time is tight, the work must be completed one by one.
Li Tiancheng felt that he had not fully recovered before the competition day came again.
Liverpool faces West Bromwich Albion at Anfield.
Li Tiancheng sat on the bench as usual.
Before the game, there were many voices saying that Li Tiancheng would start for the first time. After all, he has been in really hot form recently, but Li Tiancheng still sat on the bench.
Li Tiancheng was not surprised by this result at all. The results of the physical examination the day before yesterday were all red, which already foreshadowed this result.
Liverpool are under a lot of pressure now, after all, they aim to win the league title.
Even though it's still early in the season, Chelsea and Arsenal look set to go head-to-head.
Benitez must run in the team as soon as possible. Although he has set up a big framework, the players are unfamiliar with the cooperation on the court and make constant mistakes. This is not the performance of a championship team!
In this game, West Brom, as a newly promoted team, visited the famous Anfield and did not want to score three points. They shrank from the start!
This is exactly what Liverpool wants. They need games to adjust their formation, especially their head coach, the tactical geek Benitez, who has recently arranged 4231, and everyone needs to adapt.
Although this appears to be a temporary measure, Paco has been privately pushing for everyone to adapt quickly.
