Dynasty reappears

Chapter 137 Red Battle
Victory over Everton not only allowed Li Lin to get 5GP points, but also allowed Liverpool to surpass Everton and rise to fifth place. If it rises by one more place, Liverpool can qualify for the Champions League.But Li Lin's goal is not just to qualify for the Champions League, what he wants is to defend the league title.

But the food needs to be eaten one bite at a time, and the road has to be walked step by step. Now the league has only reached the 10th round, and even one-third of the schedule has not yet arrived. There is still a long time, and there are plenty of opportunities. His job is to ensure the health of the players and prevent injuries, so that he can ensure that he can return to the top of the list in the end.

On October 10, after a day off, the Liverpool team regrouped for training.

"Kevin, how's it going? Is Stephen's injury healed?" Li Lin asked Keegan while watching the players training on the court.

"Professor Pete said that although their injuries are all healed, if they start the game, the injury may recur. Therefore, Professor Pete suggested that it is best not to let them start the next game, and it is okay to be a substitute, so that they have a process of adaptation." Oka looked at the document in his hand and replied.

"Okay, since the professor has already said so, let's do it, everything depends on the health of the players." Li Lin said helplessly.

..................................................................

On the 23rd, Li Lin took a group of 23 players to Turkey to participate in the third round of the UEFA Champions League group match away to Besiktas.

Besiktas is one of the most famous teams in Turkey. It has won 13 domestic league championships and 8 domestic cup championships. It is considered a wealthy team in Turkey, but in the eyes of Li Lin, this team The team is a bird.Think about it, the average ability value of one team is only 60 to 70, and the ability value of the other team is already more than 80. If there are no unexpected accidents, the result of the game can be imagined.

Therefore, in this game, Li Lin sent out a rotation facelift, on the one hand to keep the substitute players in good condition, and on the other hand to prepare for the next strong match against Arsenal.But that's it, Liverpool also played very easily. Martin Kelly, the latest product of Liverpool's youth training, also performed very well.And Lineker even exclaimed that Kelly will be the backbone of Liverpool's defense for the next decade or so.

In the first half, Liverpool relied on Olic's brace to take a 2-0 lead into the second half.In the second half, it may feel that this is someone else's home court, and we still need to restrain ourselves, so the offensive strength is not as strong as in the first half.And Li Lin even replaced Gerrard, Alonso and Carragher in the 65th, 70th and 74th minutes of the second half to let them adapt to the game atmosphere.

In the end, Liverpool won three consecutive Champions League group matches 2-0, and Pai ranked first in Group A. The qualifying situation is very good, while Porto and Marseille are ranked second and third with the same points, but they cannot compete with Liverpool for the first place Therefore, they can only compete with each other for the last qualifying spot.

And in Group B, it really lived up to the name of the group of death. After three rounds of competition, the points of the four teams were almost the same. Everyone has a hope of qualifying. It depends on who can persist in the end.

After returning to Liverpool, Li Lin did not give the players a holiday this time, and the players also understood Li Lin's approach. After all, the next game is the most difficult battle for Liverpool to advance to the top of the list.

..................................................................

In the previous 10 games, Arsenal miraculously won 10 consecutive games and ranked No.1 in the standings.The biggest hero among them is Cesc Fabregas. It can be seen that a truly strong team must have an organizational core, so that such a team can exert its maximum ability.

But Arsenal has Cesc Fabregas, Liverpool has Modric, and now Modric has successfully completed special training, but what role he can play can only be seen in the game.

But Li Lin is still very confident in the training effect of the game. Bell is a good example. After training with the winger training card, he has gradually grown up and has a greater threat to the main position of Nani and Ribery. .

Li Lin was very happy to see the players representing the main team score goals repeatedly under the organization of Modric. He praised Modric loudly, which made Modric, who hadn’t played for a long time, finally feel that his hard training was not enough. Not in vain.

"Luka, how are you? Are you ready to play?" Li Lin said, looking at Modric with a smile.

"Huh? Boss, can I play in the next game? I won't be a substitute again." Modric was a little depressed when he said that.

"Get out, you dare to bury me, you have grown courage after seeing me for a few days, do you want to run ten laps? Hmph, forget it, let me tell you, it is the first round, so, keep your state well. If you are there You have humiliated me, I will replace you without hesitation, you know?"

Modric stuck out his tongue playfully, "Thank you boss, don't worry, I will let them know how good I am."

"Yes." "That's right, Luka is so good now, he must beat Arsenal to the bum." The other Liverpool players also said loudly happily.

..................................................................

On the afternoon of the 28th, the focus of this round is about to begin.Fans from both sides have already started to enter the field. Arsenal fans are very excited today, because their team came to Anfield to play at the top of the list. In addition, Arsenal's state has been very good recently. Arsenal fans are very confident His own team can win and avenge the double-kill in the league last season.

But Liverpool fans are obviously very confident in the team. A senior fan replied in an interview with reporters: "Yes, Arsenal have performed very well recently. They are ranked first in the standings. But this does not mean that they can beat the team. Us. As long as Li Lin is there, Liverpool will be the strongest team ever." It seems that the fans have blindly worshiped Li Lin, and it seems that Li Lin is very attractive.

At this time, a group of Arsenal fans suddenly appeared, and they yelled loudly at the camera: "Shit, Professor Wenger is the best coach, and the best coach award last month is the best proof. And our team Cesc Fabregas will definitely give Liverpool a good look. Long live Arsenal...”

"Shit, Cesc Fabregas counts as a goal, and Luka is the strongest. Today he will teach that Spanish kid a memorable lesson on the field." Liverpool said tit-for-tat.

In this way, the smell of gunpowder between the fans of both sides became more and more intense. Fortunately, the current fans are of good quality, and no more serious competitions, such as fights, have occurred. If this is the case, Li Lin should cry, because Ying The FA will definitely punish Liverpool.

The smell of gunpowder was so heavy before the game started, which made the players on both sides start to get excited, and the fighting spirit began to pervade.Especially Modric, who has not played for a month and attaches great importance to this game. He did not allow himself to come back in the first game and ended in failure.

After the warm-up, we returned to the locker room. The coaches of both sides, Li Lin and Wenger, were making final preparations.Wenger took Modric's start today as a breakthrough point, and still thought that Modric was still the same as before, so he sent Flamini and Ebrahim to the best "protection".Then he said to Fabregas: "Francisco, your task will be very heavy today, pay more attention to the space of Liverpool's defense, especially this." Wenger pointed on the tactical board, "You need to pass the ball behind you more. . And then Emmanuel will give Liverpool the coup de grace."

Although Li Lin knew about Wenger's methods, this was not something he could solve now.Therefore, Li Lin can only ask Carragher to help Mertesacker defend, and be careful of Adebayor running behind.

In terms of offense, Li Lin didn't make special arrangements, because Modric already knew how to attack, and he had held back for a long time.Just like a lion that has been hungry for a long time, when it sees its prey, doesn't it know how to bite?Modric is in such a state now.

Everything is in place, all that remains is to watch the players perform on the court.
