After the FA Cup semi-finals, the 35th round of the league is.

Before this league round, Liverpool had already won the championship ahead of schedule.

So this game has lost its meaning - at least for Liverpool.

In this case, it is better to rotate appropriately than to let the first team continue to fight to the death.

Just like this, before the game, Carlton Cole was transferred to the first team again and trained with the first team.

Then the day before the game, he learned that he was on the roster.

It is no longer a rare thing for Carlton Cole to enter the 18-man roster.

So when he learned the news, he was not too excited.

Now he has been honing for a season and is becoming more mature.

He was just able to make it to the big list at the beginning, which made him unable to sleep all night.

But after many times, I will get used to it and will no longer make a fuss.

Now for Cole, it's just "only" to be on the roster.

He still longs to participate in the official Premier League matches.

I don't know if there will be a chance this time.

He felt that there was little hope. Although he performed well in the FA Cup semi-final three days ago, scoring a first-time goal for the team, the goal was wonderful and thoroughly demonstrated his speed and skills.

If Liverpool's goal is really just a league championship, then the remaining few rounds of the league will probably not only be him, but also the teammates of the entire reserve team, will have the opportunity to join the first team and represent the first team in the Premier League.

Just like in the final stage of last season, after winning the championship early, Martin O'Neal drew a lot of reserve players to participate in the league. This is not to reward Liverpool reserve players, but to provide them with practical opportunities and allow them to accumulate experience. It is used to deal with the FA Cup final.

Last season, Chen Yingxiong was determined to take the reserve team to the FA Cup podium, so in terms of the team, Martin O'Neal used these methods to support Chen Yingxiong.

If this is the case, then the Liverpool reserve team has a chance this season, but why is Carlton Cole so unconfident?

It's actually very simple. Liverpool didn't seem to be trying to win the championship in the season unbeaten... They lost one game last season. Although they only lost one game in the whole season, they couldn't achieve any unbeaten championship in the season unbeaten.

What about now?

Carlton Cole has trained with the first team and the first team players many times. Everyone is familiar with him, so he naturally talks about everything. So he also knows that the real goal of Liverpool's first team is to complete the feat of winning the championship with an unbeaten record this season.

In this case, the players of Liverpool's first-team team will definitely play in the last four rounds of the league, but the number of players on the main team and the number of players on the bench has nothing to do with whether they are on the reserve team.

With the current strength of Liverpool's first-team, even if there are more substitutes, they can win the game and allow the main players to get a rest so that they can prepare for the Champions League semi-finals with Barcelona.

But if you join the reserve team, you can't tell whether you can win...

Therefore, in order to ensure that the team can win the championship with an unbeaten record, the Liverpool Reserve players may not have any chance to play in the next four league rounds.

Carlton Cole expected it well. In the list released by Martin O'Neal, there was no name for Carlton Cole, the only player from Liverpool reserve team.

O'Neal rotated in the lineup, with only four absolute main players of the first team here. The others are rotation players and substitutes.

Liverpool faces Wigan Athletics at home, and the opponent is not strong in this game. So there is no suspense.

The only thing worth looking forward to may be a post-match Premier League awards ceremony.

A simple award ceremony will award them the championship trophy that symbolizes the highest honor of the Premier League.

Carlton Cole sat on the bench and turned his head to look at both sides of the midfield line with envious eyes.

There, the Wigan Athletics players are in two teams.

Every fan knows what that is to be done - they are using the way of welcoming the upcoming Liverpool players!

This is a scene where there is a chance to appear in any country's league. The team that wins the championship will receive such courtesy from the opponent in the next game - of course, if both sides are in a mortal enemy relationship, then it is not courtesy, but a humiliation.

At that time, Liverpool players will run out of the player's passage and then pass through the welcoming guard of honor formed by the players of Wigan Athletics amidst huge cheers. At the same time, the players of Wigan Athletics will also applaud and pay tribute to the champion.

This feeling...it is really hard to describe without passing through the middle in person!

Carlton Cole now envies those first-team teammates.

If he can play, he will have such a chance. Running over from his opponent with a arrogant attitude is simply the coolest thing a young player thinks is.

Unfortunately, he can only watch from the side now.

Looking at the teammates who had already run out of the player passage and passed through the welcome team composed of Wigan Athletics players, I felt that their figures were so tall and so... cool!

I wonder when I will have such an opportunity?

The young Carlton Cole clapped with the people around him while thinking enviously.

There is no big suspense in the match against Wigan Athletics.

Liverpool's God of War Chen Yingxiong's goal in the tenth minute of the game was like an appetizer at this championship celebration banquet.

Next, goals appeared one by one.

The substitutes' high morale has made this Liverpool team more powerful.

Wigan Athletics has no fighting spirit, which is not that they are worry-free in relegation. There is no chance of qualification for European competition. Now there are four rounds left before the end of the league, so it is too early to say this.

The reason why they have no fighting spirit is very simple, because they are playing away and their opponent is Liverpool.

At Anfield, I want to win Liverpool. Since Aston Villa in the 201314 season, no team can do it.

Whether it is the English team or the giants on the European continent, it is the same.

So before knowing that he was going to play against Liverpool away, Wigan Athletic lost his fighting spirit.

Faced with Wigan Athletics, which lost its fighting spirit, Liverpool did not have any intention of "being compassionate to the public".

Around Wigan Athletics, it was a beating.

Who made them lose last season the only game they lost to this team away?

If this account is not recovered, it is really hard to eliminate the hatred in my heart!

In the first half of the season, they swept Wigan Athletic 4-0 away. This did not satisfy the Liverpool people, and they continued to ravage their opponents after returning to home.

Chen Yingxiong completed his hat trick in the 50th minute.

Suarez also scored a goal.

In addition, Inle also scored a rare point by shooting from a long distance.

Seeing everyone's goal scored, Carlton Cole was still envious of the game, not knowing when he would have such a chance to hit the dog in the water...

At this moment, he heard assistant coach Sammy Lee calling his name.

"Carlton! Carlton! Go warm up!" He waved his hand to the warm-up area.

Carlton Cole was stunned for a moment, then ran out quickly.

His patience was also a little nervous about expectation - was it my turn this time?

But the next second he was disappointed because behind his butt, assistant coach Sammy Lee followed up with the names of several players and asked them to warm up.

For a moment, Liverpool's bench was empty - all the substitutes ran to the warm-up area.

Carlton Cole rolled his eyes, knowing that he was self-indulgent again.

With so many people warming up together, who knows if it's their turn?

Obviously, this is just to avoid the substitutes sitting on the bench for too long. And call them up and find something for them to do.

Who knows who will be able to play at that time?

Forget it, what do you want to do so much?

Warm up honestly!

Carlton Cole lowered his head and stopped watching the engaging game on the court, but warmed up seriously.

※※※

Five minutes later, assistant coach Sammy Lee arrived at the warm-up area.

At this time, no matter how stupid a person is, he knows that he is going to ask someone to go back and then prepare to appear!

Sure enough, Sammy Lee started to call out.

He only ordered two people's names.

"Thornton and Cole."

He said it simply, and Thornton had no special reaction to it. As a substitute for Liverpool, he quickly accepted and adapted to this identity after coming to Liverpool. Since he was a substitute, he naturally had to come on as a substitute.

But Cole was called up and was startled.

He didn't expect happiness to come so quickly, and it fell from the sky and hit his head...

Seeing what he looked like, Sammy Lee laughed.

He stepped forward and patted Cole on the shoulder hard: "This is a reward for your outstanding performance in the FA Cup semi-finals, Carlton. You deserve it."

Cole then reacted and said to Sammy Lee with an excited expression: "Yes!"
