Chapter 718 Huge Challenge
The meeting was held in the tactical preparation room at Melwood.
In addition to the players of the first team, there was also Benitez's core coaching staff. Rick Parry was present as the general manager of the club, but the chief assistant coach Yesterdan was in charge of hosting.
Not long ago, there was a lot of speculation in the outside world that Benitez would leave Liverpool this summer. When Rick Parry was interviewed by the media, he said [no comment], which made the outside media fall into a carnival and made Liverpool fans feel worried.
Everyone knows that the so-called no comment is actually tantamount to acquiescence.
Afterwards, the media conducted in-depth digging, and the conflict between Rick Parry and Benitez became more and more obvious. They were constantly being dug up by the media for hype, and the gap between the two became wider and wider. There were even rumors that Melwood, led by Benitez, was competing against Anfield, led by Rick Parry.
But now, with Rick Parry coming to Melwood, many of the rumors are starting to unravel.
This is more or less a kind of stability to the internal military spirit.
Yang Yang is the core of the team's locker room, and his status and influence are not lower than that of captain Gerrard. Naturally, he has more news and intelligence than others.
The so-called conflict between Rick Parry and Benitez does exist, but it is far from as big as the rumors outside.
In the final analysis, the differences between the two came from the club's two American owners.
Rick Parry chose to support Hicks, Benitez and Gillette got closer, and the differences between the two American bosses were originally differences in capital operations, but with Liverpool's debt reform, it has begun to affect the internal operations of the team, such as transfer fees, and other things.
In this case, Rick Parry is responsible for the overall management of the club, and Benitez is more concerned with the team's competitive field. With different starting points, they often look at problems from different angles. Coupled with their different tendencies, naturally there are differences, and even some difficult to reconcile contradictions.
But in general, the conflicts between the two of them are within the controllable range, far less intense than the rumors outside, and their starting point is to consider the club.
No, just after winning the League Cup, Rick Parry came to Melwood.
……
The meeting was hosted by Yesterdan. First of all, he thanked all the players for their efforts in the past period of time, and introduced the current situation of the team, the achievements they have made, and the challenges they will face next.
Needless to say, these things have already been discussed many times in the locker room. Everyone is very clear about the opportunities and challenges the team is currently facing, and they have basically formed a preliminary consensus.
Rick Parry then spoke, expressing his gratitude to the players for their performance on behalf of the club's management. At the same time, he also hopes that the players will continue to work hard and continue to maintain a high level of performance in the next two to three months, striving to get a satisfactory result after the end of the season.
"I can tell you with certainty that the team is currently in a critical period of opportunity that has never been seen in the past 30 to [-] years, or even in the club's century-old history. We have won the League Cup, led the Premier League standings, and have a clear lead. At the same time, we have performed well in the Champions League and the FA Cup."
Grand Slam, this is an achievement that has never been achieved in the history of the Premier League.
In [-], the Red Devils Manchester United won the Triple Crown, which established the Premier League era of Ferguson's team in one fell swoop. But that year, the Red Devils missed the League Cup and only won the FA Cup, Champions League and Premier League championship.
As for Liverpool's so-called five-time crown, let alone, the gold content is even lower.
Rick Parry said that the club will do their best to support the team and strive for better and better results at all costs, and the entire city of Liverpool will definitely support the team.
There is no basis for words, Rick Parry announced on the spot that the team will distribute the bonus for winning the League Cup today, and will also re-draw the team's rewards for winning multiple championships in the league, Champions League and FA Cup at the same time.
"This will be the most sincere bonus system in the history of the club." Rick Parry said excitedly.
The general manager of the club spoke excitedly, and the players were equally moved by what they heard.
They are all professional players. To put it bluntly, they all play football for money. The stimulation from money and profit is more effective than anything else.
Of course, for today's Liverpool players, in addition to monetary benefits, there is also the temptation to leave a name in history.
Gerrard was the first to speak on behalf of the locker room. He said that everyone in the locker room is full of confidence and fighting spirit. He hopes to achieve better results on all fronts, but this also requires the support of the club's management and coaching staff.
The locker room hopes to get a stable and harmonious game environment, instead of the outside world talking about it like before.
Rick Parry said on the spot that the team will soon take measures to stabilize the situation.
Benitez also stated afterwards that he had not had any form of contact with other teams as rumored by the outside world. He is the head coach of Liverpool and he will only focus on Liverpool to reassure everyone.
The Spanish coach believes that the challenges facing Liverpool are still very big and arduous.
"It's a huge challenge. If it succeeds, everyone will get unprecedented praise, but to succeed, it's not just relying on a few players, it needs every player in the locker room to work together."
Benitez then analyzed the current situation of the team. The main thing is that after the multi-line battle, the team must carry out an orderly rotation system. This is Benitez's forte, but if you want to stabilize the results after the rotation, you need every player to work together and show their best state.
In the past few years, Liverpool has always had a bad start. One of the important reasons is that Benitez insisted on rotation.
Even once there were dozens of games in a row, Benitez's starting lineup has never been the same.
The results of the rotation system are mixed. Liverpool always performed very well in the second half, but they kept losing points in the first half. Many people even believe that the important reason for Liverpool to win the Champions League twice in the past is the rotation.
In the last two seasons, Benitez has adjusted his style of play and tried to attack at the beginning. He played quite well in the Premier League last season and won the first Premier League championship in the club's history, but the price he paid was losing to Manchester United in the semi-finals of the Champions League.
This season, Liverpool has strengthened the thickness of its bench, improved its overall strength, and reduced injuries a lot. They have been effectively controlled and can use a more generous lineup to face challenges. This is a positive side.
But the downside is that after insisting on multi-line combat, every player needs to bear more pressure in the game, especially the core players like Yang Yang.
……
After Benitez finished his analysis, Yang Yang also stood up to express his opinion.
Although it is a plenary meeting, there are not many speeches that can actually speak and be heard by everyone.
With Yang Yang's status and influence in Liverpool today, even if he just coughs, everyone in the audience will pay attention to him, and no one dares to ignore him.
"After I joined Liverpool, Dalglish, Souness and other former celebrities once said to me a word. These seniors all believed that the so-called fatigue is just the psychological effect of the players. It is because we keep telling ourselves that we are tired and should rest, which leads to our mental and physical fatigue."
"They told me that the best way to deal with fatigue is to tell yourself that you have the courage to accept the challenge, and face the difficult schedule, but also dare to face the difficulties. This is the traditional spirit that Liverpool has inherited for many years."
Yang Yang's remarks were also recognized by local core players such as Gerrard and Carragher, and many of them obviously knew that Dalglish and others had said these words to Yang Yang.
"So, I think I can participate in more competitions, and I'm ready!" Yang Yang said loudly.
As the team's core superstar and the team's most important fighting force, Yang Yang has always been the treasure of the coaching staff.
The Chinese have a saying that is right, good steel must be used on the blade.
Yang Yang is Liverpool's nuclear weapon, but there is no need to play in every game. It is quite stupid for the cannon to fight sparrows.
But the problem is that now, Liverpool has reached a critical stage of the game.
Needless to say, the Premier League and the Champions League, Yang Yang is definitely the main force, and in the quarterfinals of the FA Cup, the competition is also quite fierce.
In this case, Yang Yang's statement is undoubtedly to express his attitude to the coaching staff.
As soon as Yang Yang expressed his opinion, Gerrard, Carragher and others also expressed their views one after another. Harvey Alonso, Mascherano, Crouch and others also expressed their opinions. They all believed that the team should do their best to fight for it.
But any ambitious player will not easily let go of such a godsend opportunity.
……
Benitez and Yesterdan glanced at each other, then looked at Yang Yang and Gerrard, and they all caught the meaning in each other's eyes, that is, the military spirit is available!
The more it is now, the more Liverpool need unity and cohesion.
Afterwards, Benitez and Yesterdan began to analyze the team's upcoming schedule and the challenges they will face, especially the important nodes of several events.
The key to the FA Cup must be the semi-finals. Since the opponents are weak, if nothing else happens, the opponents must be the other three of the four giants. If they win, they will enter the finals.
The Champions League is the most difficult. After entering the quarter-finals, no opponent will be weak. This requires Liverpool to concentrate all resources to play well in this competition, and at the same time, everyone must show their best performance.
The situation in the Premier League is the best, but the key node also comes the earliest, that is, the No.20 away game against Manchester United in nine rounds.
Losing and winning, Liverpool will face two very different environments.
Even to a certain extent, playing Manchester United in an away game must win a tie. Once they lose, everything Liverpool has said now may come to naught.
