Chapter 471 Gerald the fortune teller
In the past, when Houllier was in charge, the atmosphere in the Liverpool team was one of unity and closeness.
Yang Yang once heard people say that Houllier is the kind of head coach who can mix with players.
But this situation was completely changed after the arrival of Benitez.
In the words of Captain Gerrard, Benitez belongs to that kind. When you bump into him head-on in the narrow corridor, he will not politely ask you how you are doing, whether your family is going well, and so on.
"If he speaks, he must tell you what you did not do well in the last game, and how to play the next game."
"I feel that he only has football in his life!"
Gradually, this sense of distance brought by the head coach also changed Liverpool.
It is obvious that Liverpool's away games often change roommates.
When the coaching staff explained this rule, they told Yang Yang that it was to help players get familiar with each other.
But Yang Yang has also heard a saying in private. It is said that when Benitez first came to power, he wanted to disintegrate the small team in the locker room, because a group of players headed by Gerrard, Carragher, Riise, Harman and Murphy were very close.
No one knows exactly what the reason is, but the rules have slowly continued.
After the team returned to the UK from Eindhoven, they immediately went south to London.
Liverpool's away game against Chelsea was another noon, at [-]:[-].
This is a very frustrating time because it is not easy to prepare.
In order to better prepare for this game, Liverpool went south one day in advance and checked into a hotel in London.
Yang Yang's roommate is Harvey Alonso.
……
Javi Alonso was a gentleman both on and off the pitch.
He likes to read books, and he always reads some books that give Yang Yang a headache, such as philosophy...
But he read it with gusto, and he has the potential to be a philosopher.
Yang Yang likes to study opponents before the game. This habit has continued from the Ajax period to the present. Benitez's coaching staff also respects his habit and allows him to bring his own laptop.
Before each game, Yesterdam will prepare a complete opponent profile for him like Luther Carroll in the past, and from these profiles, Yang Yang can feel the meticulousness of Liverpool's preparations.
The first time I saw it was in the first leg of the third round of the Champions League qualifiers against Maccabi Haifa in Israel.
This team is not well-known and is far away in Israel. It is very difficult to find their information.
But Benitez's team has prepared a thick file and multiple DVDs for this.
There are thirty to forty pages in the dossier, which includes detailed information on every player in Maccabi Haifa, their strengths and weaknesses, how they attack, how they defend, how fast they counterattack, and what tactical changes they often make in games...
So much information shows how hard Benitez and the Tete team are.
And this is just an Israeli underdog.
Like Chelsea, which we will meet tomorrow, the dossier is as high as more than 60 pages, and there are more than a dozen DVDs.
However, the coaching staff is not going to push all of this directly on the players, it will just make the players dizzy.
To be honest, there are not many players who really like to read, and they are all a bunch of scumbags, including Gerrard.
Therefore, the coaching staff will summarize the files and materials, screen out the information that they think is useful and must be reminded, and finally convey it to the players in the pre-match preparation meeting of about 10 minutes, and each person will attach a page of opponent report.
Yang Yang is used to preparing the night before the game, so he will get more and more complete materials.
Harvey Alonso sat silently on the bedside and read a book, while Yang Yang read the pre-match materials in front of the computer, and at the same time chatted with Su Ye who was far away in China on QQ. She was in a pretty good mood recently.
Both auditions passed, and the other side seemed very satisfied.
"Our mentor said that these two dramas are rare big productions, and being able to participate in the roles in them will also be beneficial to my future development, and the other party is very sincere and promised to follow my three chapters of the agreement. However, everything is still hard to say before signing the contract."
Yang Yang said with a smile that there must be no problem, and he will definitely find time to visit the class when the time comes.
But he also knows that the competition in the domestic entertainment industry is still very fierce. For example, in order to grab roles, some artists will take the initiative to solicit investment from all over the world to join the crew. Therefore, it is really hard to say before the contract is signed.
"Don't worry, I'll just take it as a learning opportunity." Su Ye was free and easy.
She has been rehearsing with a drama group of the Chinese Opera recently, and the schedule is quite full.
……
Yesterdan came to inspect the room and knocked on the door to remind the players to rest.
Yang Yang closed the computer, brushed his teeth and washed his face, then lay on the bed and was about to enter the super training ground.
His amazing ability to sleep quickly caused a shock in Liverpool, and almost everyone who had been roommates with him would recount the painful memories of being roommates with Yang Yang the next morning with envy and hatred.
But just as he was about to fall asleep, Harvey Alonso, who hadn't spoken all night in the next bed, suddenly made a sound.
"A few days ago, Gerrard said that he had a hunch that we would enter the Champions League final this season. He said that this is the call of fate and a test for us."
In the darkness, came the voice of Harvey Alonso.
Yang Yang was a little surprised, but replied with a smile: "He should change his career to fortune-telling."
Harvey Alonso also smiled slightly, "But I hope his premonition is true."
Yang Yang is silent, this is everyone's hope.
After all, it is the Champions League, the highest honor that all professional players dream of.
Even if he has already won it once, Yang Yang still hopes to have the opportunity to win it for the second time, and once as an absolute main force, to make up for his regret of not being in the top four last season.
"Winning the Champions League twice in three years is definitely an exciting and great feat. It has opened up a new dynasty and will also allow us to leave a solid mark in the history of professional football." Harvey Alonso's tone was filled with longing.
Last season, Liverpool's performance in the Champions League was not outstanding, but with the joining of Yang Yang this season, the team's offensive problems have been alleviated, and everyone began to rekindle hope and fighting spirit.
Even a youth like Harvey Alonso is full of blood and passion in his bones.
Neither of them spoke, and the room was silent.
Yang Yang opened his eyes, looking at the pitch-black ceiling, his pupils seemed to glow in the dark.
He also looks forward to it, and even his desire for the Champions League is absolutely no less than anyone else.
He has been training hard and playing hard for this.
He hopes that one day he can stand at the top of the Champions League as the main core, and can attend various awards as a winner. He hopes that fans all over the world will firmly remember his name and his performance on the court.
But soon, he closed his eyes and entered the super training ground.
Dreaming is useless, he needs to do it.

"Chelsea's wing is empty!"
On the morning of the game, Liverpool held a pre-match tactical preparation meeting in the hotel, and Benitez went straight to the point.
After Duff switched to Newcastle, Robben was injured again before the start of the new season. He has missed four games so far, which basically made Chelsea's wingers lose their competitiveness.
"I can conclude that in this game, Chelsea will definitely concentrate their forces in the middle, Shevchenko will start, and Drogba is also indispensable, so they will arrange a double striker combination, and they will hoard heavy troops in the middle, but they lack effective wings, so their efficiency will definitely be worse. This is our chance!"
Benitez will win the game against Didier, because the Dutchman played the whole game against PSV and needs to be rotated, but Peter Crouch and Yang Yang will start all of them, and Pennant will start on the right.
"Gerrard, Xabi Alonso and Mohamed Sissoko, our midfield doesn't suffer at all, but when attacking, we have to try to widen as much as possible and make full use of our wide advantage."
Harvey Alonso and Mohamed Sissoko are the double defensive midfielders, and Gerrard is the free man in the frontcourt.
Needless to say, Yang Yang's offensive power on the wing, whether it is a pass from the bottom or an inside cut, he is a sharp knife, and is currently Liverpool's sharpest offensive trump card. He will definitely be the most important defensive object for Chelsea in this game.
It is not without reason to choose Pennant on the right, because Pennant was the king of crosses in the Premier League last season.
Benitez's request to Pennant is to create murderous intentions on the right flank and pass the ball to create opportunities.
At the same time, Benitez's requirements for the two full-backs are also clearer, that is, to actively advance and participate in the offense.
His choice is Finnan on the right and Aurelio on the left, both players with both offensive and defensive skills.
Regarding Chelsea's use of troops, Benitez also made guesses. Terry, Carvalho and Ashley Cole have no suspense, and he thinks that the right back facing Yang Yang will be the Dutchman Boulah Luz.
"He is obviously more familiar with you than Ferreira, because he has played a few games with you in the Eredivisie, and he is in very good form this season. He was hailed by Mourinho as Mr. Zero Mistakes, and what I hope you can do is to dig a breakthrough for Chelsea's defense from him!"
Yang Yang didn't have much impression of Bolarouz before, but the materials given by the coaching staff are very complete, so Yang Yang is no stranger to reading him now, and he also knows that the Dutch international who once played for Wahlwijk and Hamburg is not bad.
But he still nodded confidently and agreed, and took over the task.
"Don't worry, after tonight, he will no longer be Mr. Zero Mistakes, but should become Mr. Mistakes!"
Yang Yang smiled lightly.
The more important the game, the more excited he felt.
And he's eager to get better at Stamford Bridge, not just for Liverpool but to prove himself.
Before, Abramovich was not interested in Yang Yang because of Shevchenko, but now, Yang Yang wanted to let him know how wrong and stupid the decision was.
