Green Life

Most people are wandering between emotion and reason in their whole life, one side is sea water, the other side is flame, one side is selfishness, and the other side is dedication.

Each of us is an animal walking on the tightrope in the middle. The constraints of self-interest and social morality make us always strive to find that thread of mind, comfort.

Benitez has selfishness and dedication to Liverpool, and Mark Qin is no different. Everyone is making the right choice in their own way, and then, go on!

After the Merseyside derby, Liverpool have a week of rest, and then after a league game and the Champions League, it is the international match day, which allows them to barely deal with the problem of coaching.

Benitez did not come to the training ground early in the morning, which made the players who had read Hyypia's letter puzzled.

"Rafa, if you leave at this time, who can replace you? Can't you last until the end of the season?" Parry asked in embarrassment in the office.

Benitez shook his head, "It's time for me to go. I'm going to call the rapids to retreat now. If it's later, I don't know if I will become a sinner."

He laughed at himself, and continued: "The locker room is a mess, and I am responsible." He looked at the players outside, some of whom were even his own direct descendants, did he really fail in life?

"As for the choice of head coach, let Sammy Lee stand on top until the end of the season. He is very popular in the team, and at least he can ensure the stability of the locker room."

"Besides, he has experience as a Premier League head coach. What is the problem with leading the transition, but this year's championships are estimated to be hanging. You should find a coach for next season as soon as possible."

Parry squeezed his swollen eyebrows, his face was full of sadness, I also want to resign, everyone should break up, but after complaining in my heart, life has to go on, facing this bleak life.

"Can't it be changed?" He tried to make one last effort. After all, he is a meritorious coach. It is too sad to go like this, and with the change of coach midway, Liverpool's future is bleak.

Benitez shook his head, "The strength of the team is still there, as long as it remains stable, no matter how bad the results are, it won't be that bad."

An era, the most shining star, is finally coming to an end. In the summer of 2004, he brought the title of La Liga champion coach and brought Alonso and Garcia.

Since then, he has built a world at Anfield and left Liverpool with the tradition of the fourth position.

In the past few years, he sent away Smicer, Riser, Hypia, Kewell, and Bellamy. Today, he will follow in their footsteps and send himself away too.

In the summer of 2008, after all, we have to start saying goodbye.

This era is short, but for Liverpool, it is indeed the most glorious period of their Premier League so far.

Champions League champions, FA Cup champions, Premier League champions, they have won all the important championships in the past four years.

The former group of old people, now only Carragher at the end of his career, Gerrard and Alonso who is about to leave are still sticking to it. The departure of Benitez has completely brought it to an end.

The old days of glory have passed, and Liverpool will usher in a new chapter from this moment.

...

The players on the training ground watched as Sammy Lee left and returned with Benitez more than two hours later.

They knew something important might be happening.

Sammy Lee beckoned the scattered players together and walked up to them alongside Benitez.

Benitez looked at the group of players who used to gallop under his command, he was in a trance for a while, but also a little relieved.

All good things come to an end.

Now that the dust has settled and the tired bird has returned to the forest, he sees it more clearly than before, after all, he was a little too persistent in the past.

"Guys, this is the last time I'll call you that," he began.

"Tomorrow, the club will hold a press conference. I will officially resign as the head coach of the club. From now on, Sammy Lee will lead you to fight this season."

The Liverpool players looked at each other in blank dismay,

Despite this psychological preparation, the moment when it really came was still a little sudden.

Benitez glanced at them with a smile, and then said: "In the past four years, we have struggled together and created a lot of brilliance. These days will become my fond memories. I am proud of you and I want to thank you say thank you”

"Although some people may not like me during this process, and we have had many conflicts, I hope that after today, you can forget about these and travel lightly."

"Liverpool is the team that I and you are fighting for. I wish you all the best."

After he finished speaking, he paused. Even though he was not used to it, he stepped forward resolutely and hugged and bid farewell to the players one by one.

"Steven," he said with open arms and a smile when he walked up to Gerald, and Gerald smiled reassuringly and hugged him with open arms.

"Mark", Mark Qin also walked over to hug him, and said to him: "Good luck, Rafa"

"Come on," Benitez patted him, before moving on to the next, "Xavi (Alonso)"…

No matter how long the separation is, there will always be a moment of end. At this moment, Melwood is filled with a long-lost warmth.

After everyone stood still, Sami Li opened his mouth and said: "Guys, starting tomorrow, I will be the acting head coach. I hope we have a happy cooperation. Rafa will be our technical director."

In the end, Parry did not agree to Benitez's direct resignation, but gave him a vacant director position, which was regarded as a decent step for Benitez.

"Our daily training plan remains unchanged," Sami Lee continued, "Tomorrow I will re-appoint an assistant coach. I hope we can work together through this difficult period."

The coaching staff brought by Benitez will also cooperate with Sami Lee until the end of the season. If they really leave, Liverpool will not have to do anything for half the season, and training will be a problem.

Watching Benitez leave, Melwood slowly returned to the usual tranquility, still conducting daily training under the leadership of Sammy Lee, but the people on the sidelines were gone in the future.

"Let's go," Benitez said to Montse, who was sitting in the driver's seat, when he got in the car outside.

"Is it all done?" she asked, turning her head.

"It's a false job, let's take a year off first," he said with a smile, "Accompany you on vacation, Liverpool's charity foundation can ask for leave now."

"I've invited you a long time ago," said Montessey, starting the car, "accompany you to have a good rest."

"Well, that's fine," he replied, looking at the familiar street passing by the roadside, "you and the children will stay here from now on, don't follow me around."

...

Melwood at night was brightly lit. It was destined to be a sleepless night. The news of the coaching change would be announced tomorrow, and Sammy Lee had to accept the job as soon as possible.

The time given to him is only five days.

"Hugh, come and help me, now Liverpool need these old guys to stand guard," Sammy Lee said to Hugh McAore, who was sitting on the side, in the smoky conference room.

"I'm still willing to take those children," Xio said, turning his head. "It's a great joy to watch them grow up."

"Aren't Hobbs and Mark here, and Carragher and Gerrard are also your old subordinates," Sami Lee said with a smile.

"Haha, you're sure I can't let Mark go, right?"

"Don't be hypocritical," Sammy Lee said, "I'm only going to work until the end of the season, and now I'm worrying about the personnel, come and help me with the staff."

After taking the roster, the two began to study the list of the first team lineup for this season.

Goalkeepers: Reina, Cavalieri (visa-free in summer), Martin; Defenders: Enrique, Aurelio, Agger, Cahill, Skrtel, Carragher (injury), Finnan, Hobbs (U21), Insua (U21)

Midfielders: Mascherano, Bruno, Alonso, Gerrard, Liera, Maxkin, Lucas

Forwards: Dirk, Voronin, Torres (injured)

"After Benayoun and Arbeloa left in the frontcourt, our substitutes on the wing are very nervous." Hugh McAore rubbed his hair and thought for a while, "Vale, who was just transferred to U21, is 18 and a half years old and has a very fast speed. , the progress in the past two years is not small, and you can make an emergency on the sidewalk.”

"And Aurelio, who can also play as a winger, can be used as a substitute for Insuadam Enrique"

Sammy Lee looked at the formation on the tactical board and asked, "What about the right back and forward? Both Finnan and Carragher can't improve their physical strength."

"That can only be the main defense, and the main left side. As for the forward, let's see if we can rent one in winter."

"Mark...", Sami Lee said hesitantly, before he was interrupted by Xio.

"Mark can't play forward, his position is midfielder, and I propose to establish him as the core"

Sammy Lee frowned. It's not that he didn't understand Mark Qin's talent and potential, but he was a little hesitant to make such a big change when he first came up, not to mention Alonso was there.

"What about Alonso?", he asked.

"It's up to him to do his job. My idea is to refer to the role of the two at home against Manchester United last year, and establish a midfield with Mark as the main and Alonso as the supplement."

"He's leaving next year," Hugh continued. "It's impossible for us to put all our expectations on a person who is leaving. Besides, Mark's games are restricted by age, so it won't affect him too much. "

"The most important thing is that I think Mark is more suitable for Liverpool now than Alonso"

Sammy Lee nodded. He understood what Hugh McAore meant. Mark is the future of Liverpool. This year has already happened. He must focus on cultivating young people.

"Then we have to talk to Alonso and their three captains face to face. Don't cause any misunderstandings. The most important thing now is to stabilize the locker room. Only by working together can we improve the results first."

Although Sami Lee focuses on defense tactically, he has an advantage that Benitez does not have, that is, he is very friendly and knows how to delegate power without grasping power.

Moreover, his past experience as a head coach told him that he does not have any outstanding talents in this position, so he can only succeed with the help of people around him.

He came here to use his prestige in the first team to allow his gang of children to play football steadily.

In fact, sometimes it is very easy to break the game. If Benitez hadn't been so deadlocked with Kirkby, Hugh McAore had been invited, maybe today would be a different situation.

One drink and one peck, it's all decided by God!

...

In the next two days, Liverpool started work related to the coaching change in full swing.

The media was both surprised and psychologically prepared for this matter, but Benitez was promoted to technical director instead of dismissing get out of class, which made the news a lot less popular.

Benitez also became the first head coach who did not dismiss get out of class this season. Gerrard, Carragher, and Mark all accepted media interviews one after another, thanking him for his contribution to the team and his own cultivation in the past four years.

Many things, after taking a step back, become enjoyable.

The Liverpool team then made intense preparations. In the next game, they will be a guest at the Etihad to meet the blue moon who has just become a local tyrant.

In the summer, they had a lot of hatred because of Mark's hard work, and most importantly, Liverpool must do their best to win the first league victory!

It's just that at this tense time, I didn't see Mark Qin in Melwood, he was on his way to Italy...
