Green Dragon

Chapter 636
"Even the simplest cold and fever can't be cured. What's the use of your broken system?"

In the ward of the Royal Liverpool University Hospital, Long Shute was sulking with the system in his mind.

But the electronically synthesized voice that has been with him for 10 years is still emotionless:
"Then you can unbind!"

"..."

Long Shute fell silent, he already knew the result.

Even if he became the number one superstar in the world, this broken system didn't give him any benefits...
-
This is already five days later.

The bone-chilling rainy night in Kazan overwhelmed him, and he had to accept the mandatory two-week recuperation advice from professional doctors.

What frustrates Long Shute is that although two of his teammates who participated in the Europa League match with him that day also suffered from mild flu, none of them can't get sick like him!
From a systematic analysis point of view, the root cause is that everyone else allocated their physical energy reasonably. He was the only one who burned from the first second of the game to the last second. For the entire 90 minutes, his body was always in a hot state. In the end, he was shirtless and accepted the applause of the away fans and the irrigation of the cold rain... If he doesn't catch a cold, then there is really something wrong!

Lying on the hospital bed, it is of course impossible for him to participate in the 11th round of the league on November 8, and Liverpool, which lost Long Shute, did not win a single victory.

Under the leadership of Rodgers, the main force of the Red Army who had been recharging for a week was defeated by Crystal Palace at his own Anfield!
2-3, those teammates worked very hard. Firmino and the injured Sturridge made contributions respectively, but Crystal Palace seemed to be possessed by God. They only shot three times and scored three goals!

Yes, there was another time... when Emrejan passed Sakho back, the two failed to reach a tacit understanding, which caused two consequences:
First, Crystal Palace forward Sakho steals the ball from Liverpool defender Sakho and hits the net.

Second, Liverpool defender Sakho exerted too much force when chasing back in a hurry, directly sprained his knee, and had to be injured for a month and a half...

Long Shute had just watched the replay of the game through the system, and he had nothing to say about the result.

He originally thought that even if he couldn't play, with the recent high morale and the physical advantage accumulated in the long-term rotation, those teammates would at least not lose too badly at Anfield.

But... who knew, these teammates were forced to be overwhelmed by the Crystal Palace at home? !
What about the background?

What about the inertia of victory?

Once Lao Tzu is absent, you will lose. Doesn't this have to create a "long special dependence"?

I'm really... so sorry!
-
Exactly as Long Special thought, the media in England trumpeted nothing new:
"Liverpool suffers from Chinese dragon dependence!"

"The Red Army who left the Chinese Dragon is no more than a relegation team!"

"Excessive reliance on one player will only lead Liverpool to the road of no return!"

"Liverpool must develop their own youth training if they want to recover!"

"Learning from Manchester United's class of 92, relying on local players is the kingly way!"

"The lack of professional and professional Chinese capital will only lead to Liverpool's destruction!"

"The development path of American dad is the truth in the world!"

……

The bored Long Shu picked out a few reports and looked at them. In all fairness, some of the editors made sense...

At least, Chinese capital is definitely not as professional and professional as American capital in operating football clubs.

And relying too much on a superstar is certainly not a good thing for the development of the entire team...

But, with today's Liverpool, besides relying on a superstar, do they have other good ways?
-
After a week of hospitalization, Long Shute was approved to go home to recuperate.

It was already the middle of November, and Emma Watson also temporarily ended the work of filming and returned to their residence in the suburbs of Liverpool.

"Taking off your clothes and drying your muscles in minus three degrees in Russia...isn't it handsome?"

The little witch patted her husband's side face with a smirk:
"Not to mention, there are many photos of you circulating in the American celebrity circle, and there are even many married female stars who want me to share your private photos with them..."

Long Shute suddenly trembled all over:
"I warn you, the decadent capitalist country in the United States has a lot of extravagant and licentious lifestyles, if you dare to mess around in the dark like them, or dare to put a hat on me without any scruples... I will die! "

Emma gave a "chi" smile, and the corners of her thin and sharp mouth raised slightly:

"Pooh!"
-
The two-week-long severe fever caused Long Shute to miss the league matches with Crystal Palace on November 11 and the 8th round, but he also missed more things.

For example...the national team match day in mid-November.

On November 11, the Chinese team ushered in the fifth game of the top 12 at home.

Relying on Yang Xu's big four, Wang Yongpo and Yu Dabao scored twice, the Chinese team swept Bhutan 12-0 and won the most hearty victory since this tournament.

The wild victory over the underdogs allowed the Chinese team, which had one game less and was three points behind Hong Kong, China, to see the hope of returning to the second place in the group.

Whether Long Shute will return or not seems to be irrelevant again. After all...the opponent in the next round after four days is just the Hong Kong team of China.

The 0-0 score in the first round was only due to underestimation of the enemy. This time, not only have they learned lessons, but also with the aftermath of the 12-goal victory, they will definitely be able to level the Mong Kok Stadium!

As long as they beat Hong Kong, China, the Chinese team will be able to rank second in the group!

As long as you win, you can qualify!
-
4 days later.

Mong Kok Stadium.

"Drip, drip, drip!"

Accompanied by three whistles, Alan Perrin's gaze seemed to be dull, and his huge Adam's apple trembled violently.

On the screen above the stadium, two huge "0"s are particularly dazzling.

Hong Kong, China 0, China... 0!

There was a huge boo from the stands, and then a burst of gloating laughter!

This burst of boos has been echoing since before the game started, especially when the national anthem was played, it once covered up the melody of the passionate "March of the Volunteers".

The CCTV sports channel had to cut off the broadcast signal and transfer the picture to the studio.

The narrator Liu Jianhong has a look of pain and sadness on the face of "a great man, serving the country and the people".

He said slowly in his own sad voice:
"The Chinese team didn't have chances in this game, but they hit the goal frame four times and a good goal was blown away. Wasted opportunities will eventually be punished, and now the punishment is coming.

6战全胜、积18分的卡塔尔已经锁定了小组第一的位置，而7战4胜2平1负积14分的中国香港（多打一场）也几乎坐稳了No.2，中国队在6战之后仅仅取得3胜2平1负积11分想要反超香港夺回第二，似乎只存在理论上的可能了，因为中国队还要在最后一轮直接面对卡塔尔的挑战！”

At this point, his voice became more grief-stricken:
"The time left for China...is running out!"
-
Long Shute, who was thousands of miles away, couldn't help shaking his head and smiling wryly.

Only at this time, Chinese fans will complain, right?

Why... can't even hit the ball with tacit understanding? !

Can't the Chinese Football Association command the Hong Kong Football Association?

Does your Hong Kong team still want to play in the World Cup?
Are you crazy?
