第2篇犀利,喜欢这段:
Rodgers exists best in the abstract, when he is painting some beautiful picture of what is to come, ideally some time in the future. His team reflects this. They are strong when they are freed from the burdens of the day-to-day demands of football and weakest when they face a team they have to beat, when reality is bearing down on them.
Rodgers may be a manager who can only bear so much reality. This would explain the desire to find an abstract world where everything is better or, at least, different.
In that world, results don"t matter and Liverpool can be considered excellent after a scoreless draw at West Brom. In that world, players don"t remember when their manager said they lacked courage. |
