Chapter 295 Receiving Them Well
After Gerrard announced that he would stay with the team, Liverpool seemed to have taken a reassurance.
The tug-of-war with Real Madrid striker Morientes has been going on for several months, and now the winter window is about to open, but news of spoilers came from Newcastle.
Liverpool's purchase of a striker can be described as twists and turns. After several stumbling blocks for Liverpool in the same city, Everton finally set its target on Beatty.
But now, those who have money, those who have no money, those who are forwards, and those who are not short of forwards, all seem to be willing to buy a forward heavy artillery to expand their armaments.
"The leak in the house happened to rain overnight", Liverpool and Beitu had to lament that their fate was too bitter.
350 million pounds is the ideal offer for Beitu, but Morientes will become a free agent in 18 months. Real Madrid's offer for him is 700 million pounds, which is twice the budget of Beidu.At this time, Magpie Newcastle also stood up and said that they could accept the price, which made Beitu extremely distressed.
Real Madrid has rare goods to live in, they will not consider the feelings of the English team, they only want money!
Beitu said in an interview: "I know Newcastle is very interested in Morientes, and they are also in contact with Real Madrid. But Morientes himself is more inclined to come to Liverpool to play. Morientes It's our first option for winter transfers, but it's not the only option. We're looking for different players because we don't want to have only one option."
Everyone could hear that Beitu's tone was full of bitterness.What he said was nothing more than a final layer of "poor man's fig leaf" for Liverpool.
On December 12, Liverpool beat Southampton 28-2 at home.
After the game, Gerrard proudly told the media: "Morientes is a great player. He can keep scoring goals in various competitions——League, Cup and even the Champions League. Last season, he was the Champions Cup scorer. His identity says it all."
"If he comes to Liverpool, he won't be able to play in the Champions League, but at least we can get a great team-mate who can contribute to us in the league."
Gerrard is not worried about whether Morientes can adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League: "We now have Spanish coaches and players, including coach Benitez, Garcia, Alonso and Nunes, they are all The main players in the team. Four Spanish compatriots can definitely help Morientes adapt to the Premier League very quickly. What's more, we also have a great team spirit, so I certainly think that if he can come here, He's going to be even better."
The three-game winning streak in the league proves that Gerrard and Liverpool "smashing the pot and selling iron" also have the confidence of Morientes.In the same round, both Newcastle and Everton lost.The former lost 0 to 1 to the Gunners Arsenal, while the latter lost to Charlton 0 to 2 away.
In this way, the gap between Liverpool and the top four is even smaller.
Although Liverpool has no money, they are full of sincerity.Moreover, Liverpool has a status that cannot be underestimated in both the Premier League and the Champions League. Coupled with famous players like Gerrard and Tang Wu, Morientes' transfer to the Red Army does not count as his "price".
On the day before New Year's Day in 2005, the person involved, Morientes, expressed his views on the matter.
"The club knows my situation. They should know at least to give me an explanation. Although I haven't talked to Benitez, I have great confidence in his coaching ability. I hope to play for him as soon as possible. The club can find a solution as quickly as possible."
"I'm still a Real Madrid player and would really like to have the chance to play, but the status quo is obviously not satisfying me. The only thing I can do is wait for them to make a decision. I am very grateful to Liverpool for their interest in me. I have told Real Madrid that I very much hope Go to Liverpool to play."
"Maybe in Liverpool, I can find my 'second spring'."
Morientes' speech once again gathered the focus of public opinion in Britain and Spain.The ideas of the parties will more or less determine the negotiations between the two clubs, and Liverpool is also determined to give a satisfactory answer to fans all over the world.
On New Year's Day, the Premier League ushered in the penultimate round of the "New Year's Day Devil Schedule".The focus of the new year's battle was placed on the north-south war between Liverpool and Chelsea.
2005 marks Chelsea's centenary and Mourinho desperately wants to get off to a good start against Liverpool on January 1.
Chelsea have had the upper hand against Liverpool in recent years.In the first round of the league last season, Chelsea beat the Red Army 2-1 at Anfield.
Perhaps it is because the gap in the standings has been widened so that the "Cherskies" have the capital to be proud. Facing a hard role like Liverpool, the Blues are all talking about "must win".And Mourinho also said arrogantly: "After this game, the gap between us and Arsenal can only be widened or maintained, and will never be narrowed!"
Mourinho said: "After this game, who knows how much of our lead is left? Arsenal's opponent is Charlton, so I don't know. If we finish the game with Middlesbrough, we can still play. To be number one would be a wonderful achievement."
In the eyes of a madman, it seems that Liverpool is not his competitor at all.
Mourinho only has Wenger and his Arsenal in his eyes. As for Liverpool, which ranks No.6, it seems to be just a passing victory.
Later, even Mourinho’s bombardment was aimed at Arsenal and Wenger: "Arsenal seems to have 2 to 3 days to recover forever. Same thing."
And Mourinho also expressed serious criticism of the Premier League's practice of playing extra games without a break in the New Year: "Yes, you can play 3 games in 2 days, but this approach is still wrong. You can smoke 3 packs of cigarettes in a row, And still alive. Not that it's the right or healthy thing to do. My players are getting tired. For most of them, it feels weird to play so many games at this time of year. weird."
No wonder Mourinho is so "arrogant".
Chelsea has such offensive players as Drogba, Gudjohnsen, Arjen Robben and Kežman on the front line, and Lampard in the midfield also has the strength not to lose to Gerrard.
Most importantly, Chelsea has the best defense in the Premier League and even in Europe!
So far, Chelsea have only conceded 9 goals in the league, and Cech has become one of the happiest and best-performing goalkeepers in Europe this season.
In the face of the interview, Cech also emphasized this point. "Our defense will not be a problem, the important thing is to score! We can win after scoring goals, and this season seems to prove that."
The opponent is the leader of the league, and Bei Tu's speech is obviously "heroic shortness of breath".
"We don't care about the result of this game. The team is in a very good state. If we maintain this state, there will be good results. The opponent is No.1 in the league, and they are very difficult to beat now, so I told My players, forget who the opponent is and play with the usual mentality and you will have the best results."
The focus of fans in this game is not only the red and blue battle, but also the battle between Gerrard and Lampard for the "best iron waist in the Premier League".
In the previous match with Arsenal, after Liverpool beat each other 1-0, although Gerrard and Vieira performed well, it is generally believed that Vieira has lost his dominance in this competition.
Now, the captain of the Red Army will once again usher in a new competitor.Facing his teammates in the national team, what posture will Gerrard stand on the opposite side of Lampard?
While fans are paying attention to the "Strongest Iron Waist" contest, the "Sun" also launched a "Strongest Shield" contest.
So far, Cech has played 20 times in the first 19 rounds, conceded a total of 9 goals, 11 times and 0 opponents; while Tang Wu has played 20 times in the past 15 league rounds, conceded a total of 6 goals, and 11 times No opponents.
From the data point of view, the two are on par.
At this time, the media "imagined" some "grievances" between Tang Wu, Chelsea and Cech, and then recalled the bad memories of the two teams at Stamford Bridge in the first half of the league.Before the game started, Anfield tickets were already tight.
The day before the game, a reporter from the "Echo" intercepted Tang Wu at the gate of the Melwood training ground. There was no way, Tang Wu's height and bald head were too eye-catching.
"Hello, Tom, what do you think about the next game?" The reporter asked excitedly when Tang Wu stopped to look at his microphone.
"Here, look here." Tang Wu pointed to the scar on his forehead.
Due to his shaved head, the scar on Tang Wu's forehead was extremely obvious.
"I said, I want to receive them well at Anfield."
