Green Field Sweep Across the Thousands

Chapter 98 Familiarity
No vacation without victory.

Although this is the first time this season, no one objected.

With two games a week and the team's status needs to be adjusted, no one cares about the holidays.

Before the training started, there was an instruction issued that all new players must take English lessons every day, from the training ground to the lounge, as long as they are in the Melwood training base, everyone must only speak one language, that is English.

Li Tiancheng was a little startled. Could it be that Paco is talking about this? He is really trying his best to run the team, and he doesn't let go of words!

Liverpool itself is a multi-national team. Usually chatting and resting, the British gather together, the Spaniards gather together, the French gather together again, and players from other small countries find friends to play with.

Not just the players, but also the coaching staff and staff.

In just a few days, this measure has greatly enhanced the sense of familiarity between players and coaches, and between players.

Benitez still had more to say, and continued to adjust, this time for accommodation.

Regardless of the home or away game, the team must stay in a hotel before the game and manage it centrally.

Usually two people share a suite, and Benitez decided to rearrange the hotel room, mainly to let Cisse and Baros live together.

When Benitez thought of the performance of Cisse and Baros in the Champions League, his head ached.

It's not just this game. Since the start of the new season, they have been lacking in stability and have not found their status.

These two have proven themselves and are excellent players. They are really irreplaceable in Liverpool's current lineup.

But it is also a fact that these two people lack the efficiency of scoring goals now, so what should we do?

The formation changes back to 442, you two play together, continue the familiar two-forward style of play, no longer play late, and no longer go to the wing, is this okay?

There is no feeling between you two, lack of tacit understanding?
Then the two of you can live in the same room in the hotel. The atmosphere is so intimate, it's impossible for you two to spark each other, right?
Try it, the opponent is only Bolton, Liverpool still has the capital to experiment.

January 10, 23:3 pm.

In the tenth round of the Premier League, Liverpool's home game against Bolton is about to begin.

"Steven, how is your recovery?" Li Tiancheng was lying on the shed chatting with Gerald. It had been a long time since I saw him. I didn't expect that Gerrard would come to watch the match today.

"The progress is very fast." Gerrard smiled happily: "I can come back in two weeks at the earliest. I will try to catch up with the guest in Deportivo."

"There's no need to be so anxious, right?" Li Tiancheng went to look at Gerrard's left foot, the splint hadn't been removed yet!
Although the facts have proved that Gerrard is indispensable for Liverpool, the game is always very difficult, but it is not a good thing to rush to come back!

"Don't worry, I know what's in my heart and I won't be too impatient." Gerrard felt warm in his heart, thanks to this little brother, otherwise the situation of the team would be even more difficult.

After the game started, the two ended their chat and sat down.

As the competition progressed, Li Tiancheng's complexion gradually sank. It was a familiar formula and a familiar taste.

Seeing this beautiful scenery, Gerrard will probably be more anxious to come back!

Bolton had only scored 4 point in the previous 1 away games. Their strength was indeed limited and they did not cause much trouble for Liverpool.

But the Liverpool players performed traditional arts themselves-a waste of opportunity!
Not long after the start, Harman broke the football and handed it to Alonso. Alonso split the side. Finnan made a strong pass from the right. Luis Garcia dived to the top unattended - wide!
Then there was Luiz again, who intercepted Murphy's cross in the middle of the midfield, volleyed from outside the penalty area, and was saved by Bolton goalkeeper Kelly - the second time!
Then there was Hyypia, who headed in from a corner, was cleared by Murphy on the line, and hit the side netting again with an undercut - for the third time!
It's the 4th time, brother Cisse, he has been eyeing him for a long time, the free kick hits Bolton defender Perry first, and then the goalkeeper Kelly flies to block it on the post!

Not to be outdone by Baros, Traore jumped up from the front of the penalty area to get to the first point, and with a header, Baros followed up and rushed to the top—the top was missed!

Then Murphy made a mistake again. Maybe he forgot that he had transferred for a while. He mispassed the ball in the midfield and passed the ball to Cisse. Cisse rushed to the penalty area with a strong shot and hit the defender!
Barosh followed up and snatched the ball at his feet, and then shot from the small penalty area, and the ball soared into the sky again!

Cisse has already sprinted in place, signaling to Baros to pass back to the goal.

Don't blame each other, big brother and second brother, this is just one time, the sixth time!
Li Tiancheng looked back at Gerald, and sure enough, his face was already turning green.

Turning to look at Benitez again, are you still so determined, do you have to train them out?

Benitez doesn't want to change his mind easily. It's not easy to encounter fish in the Premier League. This is a good time for training, and we must train the striker.

It's not that I don't give you a chance, since you two really don't call and can't cooperate, well, Cisse, it's up to you, you can play right central midfielder.Let Garcia go to the middle, and the formation changes back to 4231.

I want to see if you can kick it out!

Benitez's will was quickly carried out.

Not to mention, the effect of this adjustment is really not bad.

Cisse has speed and skill, and his side sprint looked like a tiger, which directly dragged down Charlton's left defense.

In the 51st minute, Cisse broke through from the right and won a corner kick. After Alonso took the corner kick, Bolton was in chaos. The football was barely cleared and left the penalty area. Hang dead ends into the net.

1:0, Liverpool finally took the lead!
Li Tiancheng breathed a sigh of relief, it really tested his heart.

At the moment he is not in the mood to look at Gerrard's expression, this kind of performance is really not like a championship team.

I also recognize this goal, Liverpool must hit the league championship.But looking at it now, the difficulty is much greater than what I thought, not only the opponent, but also the teammates!

After scoring the goal, Liverpool's state has not changed much. They still control the situation and waste opportunities.

7th time, this time it's Finnan...

Then, Charlton lost the ball again in the midfield, Garcia intercepted their pass, took a few steps forward, and then fired from 25 yards with his right foot, the ball arced to the post and hit the net, Kelly was beyond his reach .

2:0, according to Bolton's performance, Liverpool won this game firmly.

"This ball has my demeanor." Li Tiancheng joked in his heart. In this game, Benitez doesn't seem to intend to let me play. This is to use the game as a substitute for training, so that Cisse can adapt to playing from the side as soon as possible. law?
However, the 8th time came as promised, this time it was Baros, and Benitez directly replaced him with Pangele. As a young striker, Pangele also needs to be trained...

9th...

10th...

The game is over, knowing that he will start in the next League Cup, Li Tiancheng is not very disappointed. The key point is that an opponent like Bolton is really not worth rare, but...

Thinking of Gerrard sitting behind him, Li Tiancheng felt a little heavy: Is there any hope for the league championship?Will this guy be more eager to come back?

Li Tiancheng followed the big team back to the locker room, still thinking in his heart that he must find an opportunity to persuade him.

It wasn't just Li Tiancheng who was full of anxiety at the moment, Benitez was the same.

In the post-match press conference, Benitez tried to avoid the topic of the striker's inefficiency: "I don't criticize the striker, in fact, there are many wasted opportunities in the midfield. I firmly believe that Milan (Baros) and Djibril (Cisse) The two can play in harmony..."

In fact, he was right. In his tactical arrangement, the midfielder was supposed to attack the penalty area and be responsible for scoring!
