Chapter 44

______________________________________________

Not long after this goal, the referee also blew the whistle for the end of the third round of the League Cup.

Liverpool finally won Blackpool with a score of 3-2 and advanced to a round in the League Cup!

Liverpool won this game though.

But after the game, all Liverpool players expressed their admiration for Blackpool's players.

I think they will have the strength to break into the Premier League with a few more years of training. I hope they will play hard.

sidelines.

James and Houllier shook hands and hugged again, and then the two walked towards the post-match press conference together.

The match at Anfield is sure to be highly anticipated.

Press conferences are definitely not to be missed.

It didn't take long.

James and Houllier stepped into the conference site together and sat a few meters apart.

"Mr. Houllier, what do you think of the performance of the two teams today?"

The reporters at the scene also immediately asked questions.

"Uh... Our team's performance can't be considered bad, it's normal."

Houllier replied here and turned to look at James, "But Blackpool's performance was really unexpected. I knew they beat Grimsby by surprise, but I didn't know they had such a strong strength. ."

"If you were going to judge the best player in this game, who would you vote for?"

Another reporter stood up, looked at Houllier and smiled.

"I really want to give it to our team's players, but the Blackpool midfielder's performance today is really good. I said with good conscience, I will give it to him." Houllier shrugged his shoulders with a sincere look .

"You should be talking about Ronaldinho, can you tell me, does Liverpool have any ideas about this player?"

A reporter asked a very tricky question, and everyone at the scene immediately focused on Houllier.

Even James next to him turned his head and looked at Houllier with a smile.

"Uh..."

Houllier first hesitated for a long time, and then said: "The team's finances will not allow me to buy players anymore, so I really can't answer this question."

The reporters at the scene nodded and wrote a sentence in their notebooks. Houllier was interested in Ronaldinho, a teenager from Blackpool.

It is the consistent nature of these media reporters to add oil and vinegar.

Combined with Houllier's equivocal answer, it seemed that Ronaldinho was more or less intentional.

"Mr. James."

At this time, some reporters also began to ask James, "What is your biggest feeling when you play against a team like Liverpool?"

"Well...I'm honored to lead Blackpool against such a giant team."

James pinched his nose and replied, "This is a valuable experience for our players, and it also helps them accumulate experience."

"So are you satisfied with today's score? You must know that a 3rd-tier team can score two goals against Liverpool, which was almost unthinkable before."

A reporter got up and asked again.

"Satisfied, but more of a pity."

James glanced at Houllier next to him, and then sincerely said to the reporter: "Now in many positions in the team, the strength of the players is not very good."

"We will solve all this through signings soon, and hopefully the next time we come to this stadium, we can take a win from here."

As soon as these remarks came out, the reporters nodded their heads with joy in their hearts.

Sure enough, as rumored, this young man's press conference seems to bring some crazy rhetoric.

However, considering the changes he made to Blackpool this year, it doesn't seem to be particularly crazy...

People do have some skills.

Anyway, they don't need to care too much, James said this, they can go back and have the material to write the news.

And Houllier, who was next to him, also turned his head at this time and looked at James with some surprise.

This kid actually said that he was going to come to Liverpool to take away a victory?

A bit of anticipation emerged from the bottom of his heart. From today's point of view, if Blackpool strengthens again, it is indeed possible to fight Liverpool.

Then wait for the next fight with this young man...

Houllier thought to himself and smiled slightly.

It didn't take long for the press conference to end.

James walked out of the court, joined the players, and walked towards the station to catch the train together.

There was hardly any loss on the player's face.

It was something they didn't dare to think about before, and they were basically satisfied.

However, some people are not satisfied, such as Ibrahimovic.

He somewhat regretted not being able to do more.

Especially after seeing the shock of Ronaldinho's overdraft of physical energy.

His heart was also touched a bit.

If I knew I had tried it, maybe I could change the result...

But it's all over, and it's useless to regret it, you can only wait for the next opportunity.

Because Liverpool is also in the northwest of the British peninsula, not far from Blackpool.

That night James returned to Blackpool Town with his team members.

At the station, they were once again warmly picked up by local fans.

It seems that the news has come back, and the fans are very satisfied that their team is able to play against Liverpool and still achieve such a score!
