Vol 4 Chapter 716: huge challenge

The meeting was held in Melwood's tactical preparation room.
In addition to the first-team players, Benitez ’s core coaching staff was present. Rick Parry was present as the club ’s general manager, but the chief assistant coach Yesterdam was in charge.
Not long ago, the outside world was once rumored, and Hype Benitez will leave Liverpool this summer. At the time, Rick Parry said in an interview with the media that he had no comment to let the outside media fall into the trap. The carnival also worried Liverpool fans.
Everyone knows that the so-called no comment is actually the default.
Afterwards, the media dug deeper, and the conflict between Rick Parry and Benitez became more and more obvious. They were constantly being dug out by the media to speculate, and the gap between the two was also growing. Melwood, led by Benitez, and Anfield, led by Rick Parry, are fighting in court.
But now, with Rick Parry coming to Melwood, many rumors are starting to break through.
This is more or less a stabilization of the internal military heart.
Yang Yang is the core of the team's locker room. Its status and influence are only higher than that of captain Gerrard. The information and intelligence obtained are naturally more and more in-depth than others.
The so-called contradiction between Rick Parry and Benitez does exist, but it is far less than the rumors of the outside world.
In the final analysis, the differences between the two came from the club's two American bosses.
Rick Parry chose to support Hicks, Benitez and Gillette moved closer, and the differences between the two American bosses were originally differences in capital operations, but with Liverpool ’s debt reform, it has begun Affects the internal operation of the team, such as transfer fees, there are other.
In this case, Rick Parry is responsible for the overall management of the club. Benitez is more concerned about the team's competitive field. The starting point is different, and the angle of view is often different, plus the different tendencies. Naturally, there will be differences, and even some contradictions that are difficult to reconcile.
But in general, the contradiction between the two of them is within the controllable range, far less intense than outside rumors, plus their starting point is for the club to consider.
No, just after taking the League Cup, Rick Parry came to Melwood.
The meeting was chaired by Yesterdam. The first is to thank all the players for their efforts in the past period of time. They introduced the current situation of the team, the achievements achieved, and the challenges they faced.
These things don't need to be said. The interior of the locker room has already been discussed many times. Everyone is very clear about the opportunities and challenges facing the team, and they have basically formed a preliminary consensus.
Rick Parry's subsequent speech also represented the club management's gratitude to the players' performance. At the same time, he also hoped that the players could continue to inspire and continue to maintain a high level of performance in the next two or three months. A satisfactory result can be obtained after 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 two or three decades, or even the club's 100-year history. We won the League Cup and are on the Premier League standings. Leading, with a clear lead, and performing well in both the Champions League and the FA Cup. "
Grand Slam, this is a record never seen in the history of the Premier League.
In 1999, the Red Devils Manchester United won the Triple Crown, which laid the Ferguson team's Premier League era. But that year, the Red Devils lost the League Cup and only won the FA Cup, the Champions League and the Premier League championship.
Not to mention Liverpool's so-called five crowns, let alone lower gold content.
Rick Parry said that the club will make every effort to support the team, at all costs to strive for better and better results, and the entire Liverpool city will certainly support the team.
Speaking of no evidence, Rick Parry announced on the spot that the team will distribute the prize for winning the League Cup today, and will also re-plan the team ’s success in the League, Champions League and FA Cup, and after winning multiple championships reward.
"This will be the most sincere bonus system in the club's history." Rick Parry said excitedly.
The general manager of the club spoke excitedly, and the players were equally emotional.
They are all professional players. To put it bluntly, they all play for money. The stimulation from money and benefits is more effective than anything.
Of course, for today's Liverpool players, in addition to monetary benefits, there is also the temptation to get a name from Qing Shi.
Gerrard took the lead on behalf of the locker room. He said that everyone in the locker room was full of confidence and fighting spirit, hoping to achieve success on all fronts and strive for better results, but this also requires the club management and Coaching team support.
The locker room hopes to get a stable and harmonious game environment, instead of the outside discussion as before.
Rick Parry said on the spot that the team will soon take measures to stabilize the situation.
Benitez also stated that he did not have any form of contact with other teams as the outside world has rumored. He is the head coach of Liverpool. He will only focus on Liverpool to reassure everyone.
The Spanish coach believes that the challenges facing Liverpool are still very big and very difficult.
"This is a huge challenge. If it succeeds, everyone will get unprecedented praise. But to succeed, it is not just relying on a few players, but every player in the locker room needs to work together. "
Benitez then analyzed the current situation of the team, mainly after insisting on multi-line combat, the team must carry out an orderly rotation system, this is Benitez's good show, but want to stabilize the results after the rotation , It requires every player to work together to come up with his best state.
In the past few years, Liverpool have always had a bad start. One of the important reasons is that Benitez insisted on rotation.
Even once there have been dozens of consecutive games, Benitez's lineup has never been the same.
The result of the rotation system is mixed, Liverpool always perform well in the second half, but the first half is always losing points, and many people even think that Liverpool can win the Champions League twice in the past, an important reason It is rotation.
In the last two seasons, Benitez has adjusted his style of play and tried to start the attack. Last season he played quite well in the Premier League and won the first Premier League title in club history, but the price he paid was The loss to Manchester United in the Champions League semi-finals is somewhat related to the lack of success of the team at the time.
This season, Liverpool has strengthened the thickness of the bench, the overall strength has been improved, injuries have been reduced a lot, and they have been effectively controlled. They can face challenges with a more generous lineup, which is beneficial.
The downside is that after insisting on multi-line combat, each player needs to bear more pressure on the game, especially the core main force like Yang Yang.
After Benitez's analysis, Yang Yang also stood up and expressed his position.
Although it is a plenary meeting, it is actually possible to speak, and not many people listen to it.
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 it.
"After I joined Liverpool, Dagelish and Sonez and other former famous people once told me a sentence. These predecessors all believed that the so-called fatigue is just the psychological effect of the player because we are constantly Telling myself that I ’m tired and I should take a rest, which leads to fatigue in our mind and body.

"They told me that the best way to deal with fatigue is to tell yourself to be brave enough to face the challenge and face the toughest schedule, but also dare to face the difficulties. This is the traditional spirit 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 spoken to Yang Yang.
"So, I think I can take part in more competitions, and I'm ready!" Yang Yang said loudly.
As the team's core superstar and the team's most important fighting power, Yang Yang has always been a baby pimple on the coaching staff.
The Chinese are right in saying that good steel is used on the blade.
Yang Yang is Liverpool's nuclear weapon, but it is not necessary to play every game. It is quite stupid to shoot sparrows with cannons.
But the problem is that nowadays, Liverpool has reached a crucial stage of the tournament.
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 very fierce. The four major players of the Premier League occupy half of the quarterfinals.
In this case, Yang Yang's position is undoubtedly showing his attitude to the coaching staff.
Yang Yang stated that Gerald, Carragher and others also expressed their views one after another. Harvey Alonso, Mascherano and Crouch and others also expressed their own ideas. All agreed that the team should do their best to go Fight for.
But any ambitious player will not easily let go of such a godsend.
Benitez and Yesterdam glanced at each other, and then looked at Yang Yang and Gerrard, they both captured the meaning of each other's eyes, that is, the military heart is available!
The more it is now, the more Liverpool needs to be united and more cohesive.
Subsequently, Benitez and Yesterdam began to analyze the team's next schedule and the challenges they will face, especially the important nodes of several events.
The key to the FA Cup is definitely in the semi-finals. Since the opponent is weak, there is no accident. The opponent must also be the other three of the four giants.
The Champions League is the most difficult. After entering the quarterfinals, no opponent will be weak. This requires that Liverpool must concentrate all resources to play this event, and at the same time everyone must come up with the best. status.
The situation in the Premier League is the best, but the key node is also the earliest, that is, the 29th round of the Manchester United challenge.
To lose and win, Liverpool will face two very different environments.
Even to a certain extent, playing away from Manchester United must be tied and won. Once lost, Liverpool may now say everything is in vain.
