If it is surprising that Lei Zhen did not introduce several big-name foreign players after investing heavily, apart from Li Yi, Lei Zhen is even more surprising, that is, when it comes to the choice of head coach, Lei Zhen not only did not chase famous coaches
Not to mention, he chose Brendan Rodgers, who had little or even limited experience before, having only coached Swansea City as the head coach!
It was the first time the new official took charge of a wealthy club, and it was a wealthy club with a rich background like Liverpool. Rogers, who was smiling even in his dreams, arrived at the training ground early in the morning.
Looking at the time, it was less than 8 o'clock. Rogers thought proudly, "Hey, I came too early!"
However, when Rogers walked into the training ground and saw the players who had been training hard in the training ground for who knows how long, Rogers' previous sense of superiority disappeared.
After careful identification, Rogers, who had carefully studied his players in the new season, quickly recognized the player who arrived earlier than him, Li Yi, one of Liverpool's biggest stars among the signings this season!
"!" Rogers never dreamed that this talented defensive midfielder named Artus Lee would work so hard in daily training! Think about it when he signed himself, he tyrannically asked himself to use Artus as his player.
At the core, he endured the humiliation and bear the burden. At this moment, Rogers felt that this matter was not as difficult to accept as he imagined.
Lifting his feet, Rogers wanted to step forward and have a good chat with Liverpool's future core.
But Rogers quickly put his feet back, adjusted his direction, and walked towards his office without looking back.
Li Yi's efforts greatly touched Rogers. He felt that he should also work hard. At least he should not be much worse than his team members.
Liverpool's personnel have undergone major adjustments in the summer. Almost all the Liverpool players, who are looking forward to but also fearful of the new season, arrived at the training ground half an hour early, at around 8:30. Of course, that's just almost, not all. For example
Said - Balotelli, Balotelli.
As a weirdo in football, Balotelli is always late for training, never early!
Today, even though it is his first time training together after joining Liverpool, Bashen is still unique.
After his teammates who arrived at the training ground early had finished warming up, Balotelli arrived at the training ground at 2 points short of 9 o'clock.
After all, the training time set by him was 9 o'clock, and Bashen was not late. Therefore, although he was dissatisfied with Bashen's "lateness", Rogers still couldn't say anything. He clapped his hands, gathered everyone behind him, and Rogers said
"Okay, now everyone is here! Since Liverpool's situation is a bit special this season, many new players have been introduced, so before the official training, I will introduce everyone first so that you can get to know each other. Below, I read the names of
Players, please raise your right hand and step forward."
Midfielder: No. 8 Steven Gerrard, No. 10 Artus Lee, No. 11 Marco Reus, No. 12 Joao Felipe Iria Santos Moutinho, No. 14
No. Raul Jose Trindade Meireles, No. 21 Lucas Leiva, No. 22 Ricardo Izekson dos Santos Leite (Kaka), 99
No. Philippe Coutinho.(8 people)
Forwards: No. 7 Luis Suarez, No. 9 Mario Balotelli, No. 19 Ivica Olic, No. 27 Andy Carroll, No. 31 Raheem Sterling. (5
people)"
Rogers read out a long list of 24 people one by one. Whenever he finished reading a person's name, that person would raise his hand and step forward, almost like a primary school student calling the name.
When it was his turn, Li Yi was a little speechless about this way of recognizing people, but he still cooperated and took a step forward. Then, he ignored the eyes of the people around him and observed the others. Waiting for Rogers to read out the list.
Finally, Li Yi discovered that the boss was shaking him.
This is Liverpool, the old people left behind - Reina, Johnson, Agger, Downing, Kelly, Gerrard, Reva, Suarez, Sterling, Carroll, plus third goalkeeper Guracic
, a total of 11 people, one less than half of the total. Is this what Lei Zhen said?
But fortunately, it's not all bad news, because Li Yi discovered after observation that although there are many of Liverpool's original members left, the only ones who can play the main role are probably Gerrard and Suarez. Therefore,
If they learned that they were going to be the captain, they would have strong opinions. As long as Li Yi could solve the main lineup, the power of these people was still limited.
Now, Li Yi's only hope is that Lei Zhen won't dazzle him when it comes to Gerald! If Gerald doesn't know that Li Yi wants to replace him, Li Yi really doesn't know how he will deal with these people in the future.
Get along with teammates.
After waiting for 1 or 2 minutes to let everyone on the field get familiar with each other, Rogers said, "In addition, what I want to say is that since most of your team members are newcomers, I am not sure about your strength and status.
, I don’t know much about it, so I will hold a teaching match within the team in 3 days. The temporary main lineup will be determined by your performance in this game. Of course, this main lineup is not fixed.
Yes, I will continue to observe your performance through several friendly matches before the game."
"Pah, pah!" clapped his hands and Rogers continued, "Today is the first day for everyone to return to the team. I won't make too many demands. You can jog 5 laps first to warm up, and then do some simple recovery training.
.”
…
The simple recovery training that Rogers said was indeed very simple. Li Yi felt that it was not even a warm-up.
However, outsiders are not as perverted as Li Yi. It is a rare holiday, and these talented people don’t go out to have fun? One such weirdo like Li Yi is too many in football!
Therefore, after seeing that many players on the field were beginning to breathe heavily, Rogers simply announced that the morning training was over.
"Alright, let's all disperse and see you in the afternoon." With these words, Rogers wisely left and left the scene to the Liverpool soldiers.
Watching Rogers leave with his eyes, Li Yi turned back and looked at his teammates carefully.
After looking around, Li Yi's brows furrowed tightly.
The reason is very simple. Although many of you here today are new here, it does not mean that everyone will stop forming cliques!
Look at now, as a group of Liverpool seniors, Suarez, Glen Johnson, Downey, Agger and others, as soon as Rogers left, they stood behind Gerrard, eyeing Li Yi and other newcomers eagerly.
And Li Yi is not alone either.
In this European Cup, teenagers Royce and Adler, who were substitutes and watched Li Yi's whole cup match, admired Li Yi's skills and were compatriots, so they immediately came to Li Yi.
Art around you.
After that, it was Olic who was brought here by Li Yi! After being recommended by Li Yi, the boss readily signed Olic, giving him the opportunity to compete with Li Yi again. Therefore, at this moment, there is no need to
What Li Yiduo said, Olic, who considers himself the younger brother, supports the boss, which is his duty!
Piszczek was new to Liverpool and was unfamiliar with the place. Seeing Reus, Li Yi, Adler and Olic who had also played in the Bundesliga standing together, Piszczek hesitated for a moment.
, also moved to Li Yi's small circle.
If these people will choose to support him, and Li Yi is somewhat confident, he will be a little confused about the surrender of Andy Carroll and Coutinho!
Among them, Carroll is even worse.
Gerald, to put it bluntly, is the soul of the Red Army and the spiritual leader of the Red Army. Although he is loaned out all year round, there should be no reason for Carroll to "rebel"?
"When something goes wrong, there must be a demon?" Li Yi shook his head and shook off this weird thought, and turned his attention to another small circle.
Led by fellow Brazilians Kaká and Thiago Silva, the small circle also incorporated Portuguese midfielders Moutinho and Meireles.
This is not surprising. As a former Portuguese colony, Brazil uses Portuguese as its official language, so they have a common language!
By the same token, another Portuguese, Bruno Alves, also chose that small circle.
Looking away, Li Yi had an idea in his mind.
"In the new season, it seems that there are currently three factions in Liverpool. If you want to make a difference, you must first settle the internal affairs. You must find a way in a short period of time to integrate the other two small circles.
Let’s get it done. Let’s not talk about recovering everything. At the very least, we must live in peace.”
"Huh?" Just as Li Yi was secretly thinking about countermeasures, he suddenly felt a wave of hostility coming from one side of his body.
Looking back, Li Yi easily found the owner of the hostile gaze - Balotelli without searching deliberately! At this time, Balotelli's eyes were wide open and staring at him without blinking.
Well, to be honest, when he saw the other party, Li Yi realized that he had inadvertently ignored him when he was observing the faction just now!
After looking around and confirming that the other party was hostile to him, Li Yi scratched his scalp, feeling a little confused.
However, Li Yi, who often observes the news, is well aware of Ba Shen's character. Li Yi only glanced at the other party lightly, quickly turned his eyes away, and chose to ignore Ba Shen's hostility.
Li Yi didn't know. He thought he didn't want to conflict with Ba Shen and had good intentions. His good intentions completely angered Ba Shen.
Why was Ba Shen hostile to Li Yi before?
First of all, when Li Yi was observing others, everyone present was also observing. Among them, Ba Shen was very unhappy with Li Yi's fame. His eyes were always focused on Li Yi. Ba Shen wanted to see this.
What are the abilities of this boy who is so praised by the outside world?
It's so good that every time Li Yi sees someone, after confirming the person's name in his heart, he will nod slightly.
Then, Li Yi actually didn't look at where Balotelli and De Rossi were from the beginning to the end. This made Balotelli unhappy. Therefore, Balotelli cast a hostile look at Li Yi.
However, the slightly angry Bashen never expected that this German defensive midfielder named Artus Lee would have such a big wrist! After finding out about him, Nima actually glanced at him lightly without looking directly at him.
It’s true that my uncle can bear it, but my aunt can’t either!
If De Rossi hadn't been holding him tightly from the side, Balotelli, who had never known fear, would definitely have learned boxing skills from Li Yi on the first day of training.dd
