Chapter 40: Want to Win?

"Manchester will never throw in the towel from Liverpool. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The banner was of course also seen by the Liverpool players who came out to warm up. In this game, Rodgers sent most of the substitutes, and if he had to play against an amateur team and the Premier League giants Liverpool would have to laugh off the world's big teeth.

However, no one has expressed any opinion on this, in their opinion, it is just an amateur team to embolden themselves by taking the name of Manchester, and there is no suspense about the outcome of this game.

Before that, they didn't know anything about the team. After the draw for the third round of the FA Cup, some reporters ran to interview Liverpool's players, and many Liverpool players were asked the question: "What do you think of Liverpool's next FA Cup matches?" ”

"FA Cup?!" Most of the Liverpool players interviewed didn't pay attention to the news before they remembered that they had drawn an amateur team against them.

Most people laughed and said, "I think we're lucky." ”

Of course, as Liverpool's vice-captain Carragher said seriously in an interview with reporters: "No matter who our opponent is, we will take it seriously." ”

As a result, the reporter asked very badly, "Jamie, then you know Carl. Marginson. ”

Carragher immediately understood that the reporter had dug a hole for him, and it must be a figure related to the opponent they had drawn. If you can't answer, it's embarrassing. After all, he just said seriously to the camera, "We will take our opponents seriously".

Carragher knew that he was being teased by reporters, so he had to shake his head awkwardly and say, "I don't know." ”

The reporter who interviewed him also smiled proudly when he saw that his little plan succeeded, and then said: "So can you talk about your thoughts on this game, it seems that Liverpool's upgrade is a certainty." ”

Carragher had been careless about being a reporter before, but now he was more cautious, and he shook his head: "I don't agree with this statement, the team that can break into the third round of the FA Cup, they should have something strong. ”

Carragher didn't take these words too seriously, though, as he knew absolutely nothing about the team.

Carragher, who was warming up at the moment, saw the fans filling the pitch, the songs they sang and their hostility towards Liverpool, giving him the illusion of being at Old Trafford.

Heard that this team was formed by Manchester United fans? Carragher didn't think too much about it, shook his head and shook off the thoughts in his heart, and then warmed up seriously.

Liverpool have a new manager this season, and as a veteran of the team, Carragher is no longer a regular in the team, although he is still the team's vice-captain.

However, he was told by manager Brendan Rodgers before the game that he would start.

I can only get a chance to play when I play an amateur team. Carragher is also not happy with his competitive form, but what can be done about it, he is now 35 years old.

Maybe it's time to start thinking about retirement.

The FC United players were sitting in the dressing room after the warm-up, while their head coach stood next to a tactical blackboard.

Marginson glanced around at the players around him, all of them craned their necks waiting for their coach to say something. Just like before every game.

"There were no changes to our starting eleven today. In this game, our strategy was to defend and look for opportunities to counter-attack when we had the chance. Try not to concede a goal in the first half...... Fight them in the second half! ”

At this point, Marginson paused to allow the players to digest their words, and then continued: "Now, let me ask you a question: Do you want to win? ”

Want to win?

A lot of players looked at each other. Did we hear that right, an amateur team thinking about winning against Liverpool? It's crazy!

When the players were almost surprised, Marginson continued: "Guys, I tell you, I want to win, I've had that idea in my heart for a long time. I want to win this round of the FA Cup. Does one ask why? ”

Marginson looked around, and no one expressed doubt.

"It's good, because this one doesn't have to ask why. Why win? Do you need a reason to win? We are players and we are born to win! Which of you plays to lose? ”

"No one admits it? But I know what you're thinking, and the look on your face seems to say - the opponent is so strong, it doesn't matter if you lose! ”

Marginson's voice gradually raised a bit, and it looked like their head was burning out to the players.

"What have we been working hard for more than a month, for the sake of those big stars out there playing a friendly match?! What is Liverpool like? The whole world doesn't think much of us, they think it's a big win for us to get here, and we should thank God for playing against Liverpool. ”

"We are the successors of" Newtosith "! But do you think you can represent this team? The team on the other side is our mortal enemy, and you know best what it means, do you really have to bow down to your mortal enemy in front of thousands of fans? Marginson pointed to the door of the locker room, "Now there's an opportunity in front of you." Beat Liverpool! Show your courage and prove to the whole of England that you are truly the team that inherited the "Newtonsi", and that you are not a group of cowards who will admit defeat when they encounter a strong opponent! Only by fighting with strong opponents can we reflect our value! ”

Rarely was Marginson so excited, he swung his fist once without saying a word. His words stirred up the enthusiasm of the players. Suddenly, a man stood up with a sudden.

Everyone took a look and found that it was Li Qingshan, the only foreign aid of the team.

Li Qingshan stood up because he was too excited, it was just a reflex. When he stood up and was stared at by everyone, he felt that he should say something, otherwise it would be too embarrassing to stand up and do it........

Marginson also looked at him: "Are you going to say something?" Plum? ”

"Uh..." Li Qingshan turned his head to look at his teammates in the locker room, and everyone was also looking at him.

"Yes, sir, I have something to say to you." Li Qingshan plucked up his courage and said.

In the past, Li Qingshan was relatively silent in the locker room, in fact, he was an extrovert, but because he had just arrived in the UK, he was not very proficient in spoken English, and more often he did his own thing silently.

It was the first time he had spoken in front of everyone before the game.

"I don't know if you want to play, but I don't want to lose, I hate the feeling of losing." Li Qingshan spread out his hands. 'I know it's a tough opponent, but it's a football game and I'm not going to throw in the towel until it's over. Li Qingshan said and paused for a while, "I will definitely be able to score!" I said do it!! ”

After Li Qingshan finished speaking, he looked at everyone and didn't receive any response, so he sat down, thinking about whether his first public speech was messed up? Compared with the impassioned words of the leader, what he said seems to be a little bland.

At this time, Marginson slapped his face, but he was not applauding Chu Zhongtian, he was reminding everyone that it was time to play.

Dean Stott stood up and pulled Li Qingshan up: "That's right, man." ”

David Butch also patted Li Qingshan on the shoulder: "That's right, I want to win too!" Let's work together! ”

Li Qingshan and them high-fived each other, and at this time, all the players in the locker room surrounded each other and stretched out their palms.

We're going to win!!!!
