One to zero, Liverpool defeated Manchester United with one goal at their home court and won the first round. However, this result was not very ideal. After all, it was only a small victory at home with a goal. In the next round,
After Old Trafford, Liverpool must be careful.
Next, Liverpool's task is very heavy. Two days later, Liverpool will face Burnley in the FA Cup. Two days later, Liverpool will face Wolves in the league. Two days after that, Liverpool will face Burnley again in the League Cup.
Battle against Manchester United.
Liverpool's current schedule is very intensive, which is definitely not good news for Liverpool. The worst news is that so far, Benitez has not found a suitable forward substitute, and what's even worse is that
The news is that at this time, Huntelaar was injured again.
Fernando Torres had just recovered from his injury and had not yet recovered from his condition. Now Huntelaar is injured again. This is really unfortunate.
When Fernando Torres was injured, Benitez thought about bringing in forwards to serve as substitutes. After all, only two available forwards, Fernando Torres and Huntelaar, were not enough. Of course, both of them were not injured.
Sometimes, I can barely cope with it, but if there are too many games, it will be difficult to support it. Let alone now that one person is injured.
Therefore, finding guns is a very important thing now, something Benitez has been busy with recently. At this time, Benitez also discussed it with Qiu Ze.
Qiu Ze said this at the time: "If the Liverpool team wants to introduce some forwards who are good at playing and are still a little famous as substitutes or even spare tires, it is not realistic. They definitely want the main position, even if
Not the main player, but someone who takes turns and plays regularly."
Listening to Qiu Ze's words, Benitez nodded slightly. Why didn't he know this? So, it was difficult to find a gun at this time, so he asked Qiu Ze to discuss it.
Qiu Ze gave his own suggestion: "In this case, the Liverpool team has a choice, two options, a potential new star, or an older and experienced forward."
After all, the positions of Liverpool's main forward and regular rotation forward are now occupied by Fernando Torres and Huntelaar. Which forward who was somewhat famous before becoming a player is willing to be a backup for these two guys?
On the contrary, those stars of hope and older and experienced forwards are acceptable. The stars of hope are still young and they have time to wait. Moreover, they can learn and improve themselves next to Fernando Torres and Huntelaar.
As for older and experienced forwards, at this time, they can accept the reality of sitting on the bench. Now they either want honor, money, or a good retirement. Of course, there are also the kind of martyrs who are full of ambition in their old age.
Guys, but most older forwards can still accept being substituted.
This is what Benitez was thinking. Benitez lowered his head and thought about it carefully, and then asked Qiu Ze: "So what do you recommend?"
Qiu Ze is already used to Benitez asking questions like this, because Benitez always asked this question during the recent transfer of the Liverpool team. The first time Benitez asked this question was just to show the football.
The team's emphasis on Qiu Ze and signings all depend on Qiu Ze's reaction.
However, after seeing that the players recommended by Qiu Ze performed so well, Benitez has already regarded Qiu Ze as very important. These inquiries no longer only reflect the high status of Qiu Ze in the Liverpool Club.
Qiu Ze thought for a moment and said: "I know you are interested in Ruud van Nistelrooy, but you are hesitating. I think there is nothing to hesitate. I think he is still very capable, although he is a little older.
, but there will still be at least about two years of residual heat.”
Benitez's eyes lit up when he heard this. He is indeed very optimistic about Van Nistelrooy. Of course, he also has his own considerations. After all, Van Nistelrooy is old, so he has been hesitant. Now listen.
Qiu Ze said this, and Benitez thought he could bring in Ruud van Nistelrooy.
However, Qiu Ze suddenly said: "However, the question now is whether Ruud van Nistelrooy is willing to come to Liverpool. It is said that when Van Nistelrooy left, he said that he would not join a second team besides Manchester United.
For Premier League teams, that's a problem."
Benitez's brows frowned slightly: "I seem to vaguely remember such a thing, right? But after so many years, I know. Anyway, I have to give it a try. Of course everyone will be happy if he can come. If he can't come, just
I feel sorry for you. So, do you have any other recommendations?"
Qiu Ze laughed and said: "Now, if you just look at the Premier League, there are many forwards who want to transfer. The famous ones include Jermaine Defoe, Heskey, Mido, Diouf and so on.
, these are still well-known in England, and they seem to have transfer intentions recently."
Hearing the names of these people, Benitez thought carefully about whether these people could suit Liverpool's tactics.
Qiu Ze continued to introduce: "Jermaine Defoe is undoubtedly the most famous among these people, and he is also an England international, so his strength is naturally good. After joining Portsmouth last year, he performed very well
level."
Listening to Qiu Ze's words, Benitez's mind immediately thought of Jermaine Defoe's past performance. After joining Portsmouth in the winter last season, this guy played ten games in the following leagues.
He scored seven goals per game and has performed very well this season.
Benitez thought about Defoe again. This guy is not very strong and his header ability is not strong. This guy is fast and has good skills. Although he is not a stand-up center, his ability is still good. You can consider it.
.
Qiu Ze said: "Defoe wants to leave Portsmouth, but he wants to go to Tottenham Hotspur more, because the old Redknapp occupies a very important position in his heart.
If we want to bring him in, we have to spend a lot of effort, and Defoe may not come to Liverpool as a substitute."
Hearing Qiu Ze's words, Benitez suddenly sighed: "Hey! Others are not willing to come to us if we like them. But we don't like those who are willing to come. This is tragic!"
Qiu Ze continued: "The next ones are Heskey, Mido and Diouf. These guys are still well-known in England. They did well in England before. They are older now, but as substitutes,
It’s still very appropriate.”
Benitez also nodded and said: "Indeed, these guys are pretty good as substitutes, but their scoring efficiency is indeed a bit too low. But Heskey's role in other aspects is stronger, he is a
A qualified center forward."
Qiu Ze nodded slightly and said: "Actually, what I want you to recommend is Heskey. Although he is older, he is strong, can stand, has strong ability to protect the ball, and can play for his teammates. He is
A very qualified bridgehead.”
Qiu Ze saw Benitez nodding and he continued: "Although Heskey's scoring ability is indeed too poor, there are many players in Liverpool who can score, Andre, Maxi, Gareth, Glenn
Wait, they all have good scoring ability. If we have Husky in front of us, their ability to plug in from behind will be fully reflected. This is a good choice."
Of course, there is no way Heskey can compare with Fernando Torres and Huntelaar, but for now, it is still very appropriate for Liverpool to introduce Heskey as a backup for these two people. Stop Qiu
Ze said this, and Benitez nodded in agreement.
Qiu Ze saw that Benitez agreed, and he continued: "These are the ones in England. Now let's talk about the ones outside England. In this part, I think the main ones are the stars of hope. Those who are older may not necessarily
Adapting to the rhythm of the Premier League."
Benitez nodded again. At this time, Benitez suddenly felt that Qiu Ze would definitely become a good assistant coach or even head coach in the future.
Qiu Ze continued: "There is a very popular striker in the outside world now, and that is the Argentine forward Suarez from Ajax. I think you have also heard of this guy. This guy performed very well last year and this season.
He scored 18 goals in 17 league games in half a season, and also performed well in the European competition, showing great ability."
Benitez nodded immediately. Of course he had heard of such a guy. It is said that teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United and Inter Milan are very interested in this guy and hope to introduce the 22-year-old
forward.
Qiu Ze said: "After this guy comes, he will definitely not be a spare tire. We will have more options on the front line. And Klass and Suarez will definitely compete with each other to see who is in better condition and who starts.
"
Benitez also nodded in agreement with Qiu Ze's statement. Indeed, Suarez may not be worse than Huntelaar now. If Suarez really comes, then Huntelaar should be worried about his position. However,
Benitez believes this is a good choice.
Qiu Ze continued: "Of course, the chance that Suarez can come now is very small, because Suarez has many choices, and he may not be able to choose our Liverpool."
Benitez also nodded. It is true that it is very difficult to introduce Suarez. Maybe there is no chance at all.
Qiu Ze also said: "Compared to Suarez, I am actually more optimistic about the following one, Swedish forward Marcus Berry, known as Ibrahimovic II."
Hearing this, Benitez frowned slightly. He has also heard of Marcus Berry, but this guy's reputation and strength are not as good as Suarez. Why would Qiu Ze say he is more optimistic about this guy?
.
Qiu Ze saw Benitez's doubts and said: "Of course, Suarez is stronger than Marcus Berry. There is no doubt about it. However, Marcus' ability is actually not weak. The most important thing is that now
It is not difficult for us to introduce him, and he can definitely accept the status of substitute and spare tire. This is of course our best choice at the moment."
After hearing what Qiu Ze said, Benitez suddenly realized that indeed, at this time, Marcus Berry is more suitable for Liverpool.
