484 Premier League Spell of the Month(1/2)
The next day, Melwood.
On the training ground, Liverpool players lined up.
In front of them, head coach Benitez's face was ashen, and Paco Yesterdam behind him kept shaking his head.
"I knew for a long time that you shouldn't have let you go out at all. I agreed to only drink a bottle of wine, but in the end, look, how much trouble have you caused me?" Benitez's tone was very tough.
"Tell me, how much did I drink?"
The players were silent, no one answered, and they looked like they were not afraid of boiling water.
"Steven, you are the captain, you said." Benitez directly called out.
Gerald looked at his teammates around him, a little embarrassed, gestured at the fingers of his right hand, a bit like a primary school student learning to arithmetic.
“One…two…”
"Do I want Mark Waller to bring out the detailed alcohol report to remind you?"
"No, no, I drank one bottle, oh, no, two bottles."
"Two bottles?" Benitez raised his tone.
"Three bottles."
"Um?"
"It's really three bottles. I'll have one more secret drink at most." Gerald smiled with a bitter face.
The coaching staff made a statement last night during the holiday. If they violate the rules, they will naturally have to accept punishment.
The other players stood in a row, and when they saw Gerald's cowardly look, they couldn't help laughing, and looked like they wanted to laugh but forced themselves. Especially Crouch, who accidentally laughed out loud and quickly reached out to cover them.
"Peter, what are you laughing at?" Benitez asked.
"Nothing, boss."
Benitez reached out to take the morning Liverpool Echo from Yesterdam and handed it directly to Crouch.
"You are so embarrassed to laugh, look at it yourself. In the middle of the night, you danced mechanical dance on the main road, and you lost all our faces."
When the players heard this, they couldn't help but laughed.
Crouch himself laughed, "Boss, am I happy? Moreover, I didn't finish a bottle last night and was snatched away by Jamie. If you don't believe me, please ask him."
"Who stole your wine!" Jamie Carrager immediately objected. Isn't this clearly a scam?
"You, dare you say no?" Crouch was confident.
Carragher really dares not say there is no.
Benitez looked at him and immediately signaled them to shut up.
"Good? Look at what time it's time?"
Crouch quickly opened the newspaper and looked at the time inside, at one o'clock in the morning...
“What time do I stipulate?”
"Twelve o'clock." Crouch lowered his head.
Benitez turned to the others, "And you, one by one..."
Finally, it fell to Yang Yang and Xavi Alonso, and the Liverpool coach nodded.
"As far as I know, only Yang Yang and Harvey strictly abide by the discipline."
"Yes, boss, we'll go home half an hour early." Harvey Alonso replied with a smile, looking at the others, his eyes full of gloating, as if he was saying, I'll watch you get rid of your skin.
Last night, he and Yang Yang were very troubled by these guys, especially Pennant, who kept shouting to find beautiful women for them, which scared them so much that they ran away early. Now that they have the chance, how can they take the opportunity to take advantage of the situation?
Benitez took all the little movements of these guys, and immediately changed the subject and asked Javi Alonso, "Then why didn't you persuade them to go home?"
"Persuad?" Harvey Alonso was stunned. This was the rhythm of disaster.
Sure enough, Gerald nodded shamelessly and said, "Yes, you should remind us that you have always been the calmest in the team. You are not unaware that when we meet the wine..."
Harvey Alonso almost cried.
Nime, that's not what you said last night.
Benitez still had a cold poker face, but Paco Yesterdam behind him had already laughed so hard that his stomach hurt. These guys were like a group of monkeys, making a fuss when they let go.
"Okay OK OK, don't talk so much nonsense. Since you have the energy to go all night, then I'll take the ball and run the lap for me now. I'll help you remember this account first and then calculate it if you have the chance."
After hearing this, the players all ran away as if they were released from prison after death.
Harvey Alonso also had a bitter face, and he felt depressed of being careless about making friends and being dragged into the water.
When everyone ran away, Yang Yang was left alone at the scene, looking at Benitez's poker face and his almost distorted smile at Yesterdam, he felt uncomfortable.
"Boss, I've gone to the lap, too."
After saying that, Yang Yang also ran away.
"Have I said I would punish him?" Looking at Yang Yang's back, Benitez muttered.
Yesterdam couldn't help laughing again.
He would rather run around than face you...

In fact, it is really normal for Premier League players to visit nightclubs.
Liverpool players celebrate Yang Yang's 20th birthday. This reason is strong enough. It's just that they have fun and they can't help but forget it.
Especially when Crouch dances mechanically in the street, it is really a bit eye-catching.
But things come quickly and go quickly, at best, it is a topic of discussion for fans around the world.
After the nightclub incident, Yang Yang could feel that the atmosphere inside the team's locker room had indeed changed a lot and felt more harmonious, especially the new players who were originally a little out of place, finally began to integrate into the team.
This was quickly reflected on the court.
...
In the tenth round of the Premier League, Liverpool faces Aston Villa at home.
In the first nine rounds of the league, Aston Villa was the only unbeaten team in the Premier League, but the record of three wins and six draws made the team not ideal in the Premier League.
Liverpool played at home, and Benitez even issued a death order to several nightclub fouls, demanding that they must perform better, otherwise they would all be skinned.
Visiting Anfield Stadium, Martin O'Neal's team has been on a stadium of strict defense from the beginning.
But after half an hour of hard guard, Aston Villa finally failed to hold on to the score.
Yang Yang dribbled the ball on the left rib and forced a breakthrough, passing the ball to Crouch in the middle, and the latter knocked back, and Gerald followed and played directly, opening the first record for Liverpool.
Seven minutes later, Yang Yang forced a cross from the left, and Crouch volleyed in front of the goal, winning another goal for Liverpool.
Before the first half was about to end, in the 44th minute, Liverpool got a corner kick opportunity. Carragher headed the ball, Hypia ferryed, and Kuyt made a volley, scoring the third goal for Liverpool.
After the second half of the game, Aston Villa made a quick counterattack and young player Abonraho broke through Liverpool's goal.
It is worth mentioning that Abanglaho, who has just turned 20, has also performed quite well this season.
Since the victory was established early in this game, Yang Yang did not do his best, because there was still a key group match to play in the middle of the week, and Benitez also replaced him early in the 60th minute of the second half.
...
Three days later, the fourth round of the Champions League Group C.
Liverpool welcomed Ligue 1's Bordeaux at home.
Since this is a key battle to determine whether the group qualifies or not, Liverpool has sent all its main players.
Yang Yang has been very hard from the beginning of the game. Just 23 minutes into the game, he received a pass from Gerald, opening the first record for Liverpool and scoring a goal.
After that, Bordeaux defended his life and Liverpool waited patiently for the opportunity.
After the side change again in the second half, Liverpool assisted Gerrard to win another goal in the 72nd minute, expanding the score to 2-0, and Liverpool basically secured the victory.
Five minutes later, Yang Yang once again scored Bordeaux's goal and scored twice.
This is also his fourth goal in the Champions League this season.
In the end, Liverpool stood out from the group stage with Yang Yang's second goal and Gerrard's goal, with a record of winning all four games with his head high and successfully advanced to the top 16 of the Champions League ahead of schedule.
In the last two rounds of group stage, for Liverpool, in addition to the winning prize in the game, they are just competing for the top spot in the group.
...
As November begins, the Premier League ushers in its eleventh round.
Liverpool welcomed Reading at home.
In the first 14 minutes, Yang Yang assisted Kuyt to score a goal, laying the victory for Liverpool.
The Reds then launched a fierce attack on Reading, especially the two sides were extremely active, and Yang Yang quickly won another goal for Liverpool and expanded the score to 2-0.
After the side change again in the second half, Kuyt received an assist from Finnan in the 73rd minute to secure the victory for the team.
