661、The day when the yellow robe was added to the body
After a 8-2 victory over Southampton, the two-month devil schedule also officially began.
"Although yesterday's League Cup was once behind after the opening, everyone's performance was obvious to all. Both the process and the result were satisfactory. The FA was even in a difficult position when selecting the best player. Despite this, I still have to ask a few questions, hoping that everyone can improve in future training and competitions..."
This is the second day of training session, with Liverpool's chief performance analyst Glen Driscoll leading the players to review the last game.
——Watch the video and summarize experience, which is also part of the training.
After he finished speaking, other coaching team members also supplemented according to their respective responsibilities.
Of course, Rogers said the last one:
“Gentlemen, December is here and I hope everyone is ready.
Rotation and competition will still be the keywords of this period. We must ensure that we can spend this difficult schedule at the best condition and try our best to minimize injuries.
We have another Europa League group stage next week, and in January we will usher in the two-leg semi-finals of the League Cup and a FA Cup match. Everyone will get plenty of playing time. I hope no one complains about playing too many games by then!"
A relaxed laughter rang out in the conference room.
The blessing of the rotation tactics is that in addition to long-term injury, every player has indeed gained many opportunities to play. Even the second goalkeeper Bogdan has made nearly 10 appearances in half a season, and most people are very satisfied with the status quo.
"OK, the morning training has ended here. The players who started yesterday can rest freely in the afternoon, and the rest of the normal training will be disbanded."
Rogers clapped his hands and added:
"Oh by the way, Jordan, Dragon, Lucas, you three are one step away."
-
It took only about 20 seconds before the conference room was completely empty.
In addition to the three players, Long Shute, Henderson and Lucas, the coaching staff members only left Rodgers and Mike Marsh.
Long Shute was a little puzzled.
Of course, he is the absolute core of the team. Henderson is the captain and Lucas is the veteran in the team. But he is just a rotation player. He calls them together. Do you want to hold a team meeting?
But... the team has won consecutive games recently, and everyone's appearances have basically been satisfied. The atmosphere in the locker room has always been very good. There is really no need to do this in one go, right?
Rogers did not explain himself, and the first one to speak was Mike Marsh.
The former professional player from Corkbet's youth training camp and playing for more than 100 games at Liverpool, has returned to work at Liverpool since 2009, and his qualifications are older than the head coach.
"That's right," he coughed slightly, "Jordan made a suggestion to the coaching staff, and he hoped that every player on the team would assume the corresponding responsibilities according to their abilities."
Long Shute raised his eyebrows and couldn't help looking at Henderson.
What does this guy mean?
What does it mean to assume corresponding responsibilities?
Does it mean that I scored too many goals?
Please, please take a look at the assist list. Who is the first person?
We haven't said that you just recuperate and don't work, but you actually complained first by the evil one?
Fortunately, before Long Shute was about to beat Henderson, Mike Marsh quickly changed the statement:
"Jordan means that he wants to have more leadership teammates in the position of captaining the team."
Henderson nodded repeatedly. He didn't want him to be torn to pieces by Big Dragon's eyes...
team leader?
Long Shute was stunned instead.
Although the captain's armband was worn on his left arm during the period when Henderson was injured, he did not want to occupy this position.
On the one hand, in the modern football world, the value of the team captain has dropped significantly; on the other hand, I have just joined the team and directly staged an infighting scene of snatching shifts and seizing power... There is no benefit to the recovering club.
Even when he joined AC Milan at his peak, he had never competed for any captain's armband with Ambrosini or Kaka.
So Long Shute shook his head:
"Jordan, I'm very grateful for your generosity, but... I don't have any special requests in this regard."
But Henderson shook his head:
"No, listen to me, Dragon. Do you know how much extra pressure I have been under for a long time because of this captain's armband?
You may not be able to understand, Long. After Steven left, there have been fans and media who will compare me with him, including myself, and I can't help but do this.
But the result was disappointing. He became the captain of the team at the age of 23, and then led the team to the Champions League championship at the age of 25, and himself became a world-class midfielder, and even entered the top three in the Golden Globes.
I am 25 years old this year, but I have never been a top player. My biggest luxury is that one day I can enter the 50-man roster of the Golden Balls, just one time will be enough…”
He later said a lot about the expectations and pressure he endured, the hopes and disappointments he experienced.
Long Shute joined Liverpool for half a season, and they had never had such a long exchange.
Henderson said at the end:
"I thought about it for a long time when I was recuperating. This was not my impulse, but I had a request."
Long Shu nodded:
"you say."
He was already moved by this sincere but not competent captain.
Just heard Henderson say:
"If possible, please play at Liverpool for as long as possible."
Long Shute suddenly laughed:
"Unless another financial crisis comes, and all my industries go bankrupt at the same time, I will definitely retire in this club. Thank you, Jordan, although I don't want to be the captain, I thank you."
Henderson almost vomited blood:
I am so sincere and humble, why do you say this?!
-
At the Liverpool daily press conference on December 4, Rogers took the initiative to announce the news:
"After careful consideration and friendly consultation, we have made partial adjustments to the team captain's candidate:
No. 8 player Long Shute serves as the first captain, No. 14 player Jordan Henderson and No. 21 player Lucas Reva serves as the second and third captains respectively. I believe that under the leadership of the three captains, Liverpool players will be more united and the atmosphere in the locker room will be more harmonious."
Beside him, the three captains lined up one after another, and each of them had a faint smile on their faces, which really looked very harmonious.
But the reporters didn't care about this. They quickly used their respective talents to create eye-catching news:
"The dragon tumor is revealed! Gerald's successor has been completely excluded by him!"
"The deputy captain was tragically seized from power for many years! Henderson, who was under the tyranny, could only force himself to smile!"
"Rogers became accomplice of the Dragon! There was only one voice in the Red Army locker room from now on!"
"The players dare not speak out! Many generals conspired to escape from Anfield in the winter window!"
"Give me back the captain! The Chinese boss is destroying Liverpool's tradition!"
"The odds of winning the championship plummet! How does Liverpool, who is both internal and external troubles, survive the devil's schedule?!"
Long Shute curled his lips.
Chapter completed!
