Green Dragon

Chapter 640 Liverpool introduces you to famous Premier League players

It didn't take a few days for Long Shute to experience the cruelty of the devil's match.

On December 12, the 6th round of the league was held as scheduled.

Liverpool is a guest at St. James Stadium to challenge the "Magpies" Newcastle United.

Before the game, a group of people were still talking and laughing in the locker room.

Milner, who played for Newcastle for four seasons, even reminded his teammates:
"If, I mean if... If I score a goal today, don't you guys celebrate with me!"
-
Newcastle United, nicknamed "Magpies", generally belong to a veteran team in the Premier League, especially in their team, which once had the best striker in England history, Alan Shearer.

Speaking of which, Newcastle and Liverpool have a little connection:
Liverpool King Kenny Dalglish briefly coached the Magpies in the 97/98 season, but was dismissed by the club because of his conservative tactical thinking.

However, this intersection has absolutely no impact on Liverpool today. Although Rodgers respects the old man Dalglish, he often slanders the old king who left him a mess...

And the Magpies who have fallen into the relegation zone will not have any scruples. They urgently need three points to avoid relegation. No matter whether the opponent is Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, or Chelsea, they will hit it right!
-
"Hey Dragon, have a drink after the game?"

In the player tunnel, Long Shute also met two familiar old friends.

His midfield partner at Ajax, Sime De Jong.

The Ajax captain after Suarez left the Eredivisie in 2014 for a transfer fee of only 600 million.

He was full of ambitions to land in the Premier League, but suffered serious injuries just after joining Newcastle. He hardly got any chances in the first season, and he gradually became a rotation player until the second year.

Another midfielder who is also Ajax, Wunon-Anita.

Compared with De Jong, Anita joined Newcastle as early as 2012. Although his performance was ups and downs, he has at least secured one and a half main positions.

Long Shute smiled and patted their shoulders:

"Then have a drink. Come and find the place, and whoever wins will pay."
-
Sim De Jong wanted to pay, but he knew very well how difficult this matter was!
Because...he is the one who is facing up to Long Shute!

Even if he and Anita are combined, they can't stop a Long Shute!

If it wasn't for a little bit of dignity in his bones, he really wanted to kneel down and hug his old teammate's thigh, crying and begging him to "be merciful"!
This game against Liverpool...is just his first start of the season!

Long Shute was also a little embarrassed. For the first time, he felt that having a system with detailed information was not a good thing.

If he didn't know about Derong's tragic experience in the past two years, he would have unceremoniously pushed seven in and seven out of his old teammate, and let the other party see the gap between the two, but now, he is a little bit reluctant...

Could it be that the head coach McLaren wants to use the feelings of old comrades to contain himself?
Long Shute shook his head, kicked the ball to Henderson, and motioned for the vice-captain to organize the attack.

He still can't bear to let De Jong die too badly...
-
Those TV commentators were a little surprised to find that the new captain of the Red Army, who had killed the Quartet in many consecutive games, was a little quiet in this game.

"Uh, Dragon...frozen by a Dutch player making his first start of the season...?"

Alan Hansen said in disbelief.

As a guest, Newcastle star and legendary striker Alan Shearer joked with a smile:
"Probably because after officially serving as the captain of the team, he took on more responsibilities and became more cautious?"

Another guest, Liverpool legend and former vice-captain Carragher nodded after hearing this:
"Although it was a joke, there may be a reason for this. You know, Steven was also a big fouler before he became the captain. After Houllier handed him the captain's armband, he suddenly became much calmer... However, After Rodgers coached, he retreated to a further back position, and the number of fouls and cards for Steven increased significantly..."
-
Gerrard's high number of yellow cards in the later period is mainly because his position is too deep, and he has to take on too many defensive tasks. After all... Liverpool's defenders have never been worry-free , including his good comrade Carragher.

Due to age, his physical fitness has declined year by year, and Gerrard, whose running ability is not as good as before, can only rely on fouls to stop his opponents in many cases.

However, Long Shute, who is also in the midfielder position, rarely gets a yellow card.

What a joke!
In the Premier League where the confrontation is so fierce and the referee's scale is so loose, sometimes after a game, he doesn't even have a single foul!
-
"Strange, strange..."

Rogers scratched his hair and couldn't help but said to the assistants on the left and right:
"The dragon is not active enough today, is that Sim De Jong so powerful?"

Mike Marsh smiled dismissively:
"If he is really that powerful, why is he only a substitute now?"

Sean O'Driscoll frowned:

"During this period of time, except for the injury, Long played almost all the games. Is there a problem with his physical fitness?"

Fitness coach Ryland Morgan immediately shook his head:

"His physical condition has always been the best in the team, I promise!"

The physiotherapist Paul Small, who has been with the club for 15 years, inspired them from another angle:

"Don't you know, gentlemen, Miss Emma Watson has returned to England!"

"oh oh!"

A group of men suddenly showed expressions of sudden realization.

Rogers slapped his thigh, his face was full of sadness:

"Damn Emma Watson! Why are you returning home at this time?! If I have a gun and a bullet in my hand now, I will definitely kill this little goblin!"
-
Although the coaches on the bench talked a lot, they didn't worry too much, because Liverpool still maintained a huge lead until the 60th minute.

Although Long Shute couldn't bear to bully his old comrades-in-arms, the strengths of the two teams were not at the same level. In addition, the home team was full of injuries, so there was no way to pose a threat to Liverpool.

Firmino scored a single-handed goal after receiving a through ball from Longshute in the 17th minute, and then Henderson assisted Benteke with an indirect free kick to expand the score.

After entering the second half, the deputy captain Henderson, who gradually found his form, took a powerful long shot from outside the penalty area, which was saved by Newcastle goalkeeper Elliott, but Emre Can who appeared in the penalty area inexplicably But alertly shot and scored.

Liverpool, who had three goals in hand, was obviously a little smug, and with the captain Long Shute sitting in the defense, the Red Army players who thought they had no worries about defense began to press frequently.

Their relaxation took an immediate toll.

In the 68th minute, Liverpool's attack was blocked, and Newcastle quickly counterattacked.

Longshut immediately directed Lovren and Skrtel to deploy defenses in front of the goal, while he personally intercepted Sissoko who was advancing with the ball.

Sissoko didn't give him this opportunity, and made a direct forward pass to find Wijnaldum, who had already circled to the ribs of the penalty area.

Perhaps because he was too afraid of Long's special defense, Sissoko's pass was a bit too big, and Wijnaldum couldn't react in time, so he could only chase the football to the bottom line.

This attack was about to turn into a goal kick, but Wijnaldum twisted his body abruptly before the baseline, and forced a backward volley with his right foot!

This action of his can't even be called a shot, but more like a cross, because it is completely inaccurate.

But due to surprise, it caused a panic in front of Liverpool.

In a panic, Skrtel kicked the ball... into his gate!
Alan Hansen whistled:
"Slovakia's central defender scored an own goal! This is Skrtel's seventh own goal after joining Liverpool. He tied Jamie Carragher. The two tied for the most own goals in Liverpool club history. player of!"

Hearing the host's words, Shearer laughed out loud, but Carragher's face was so dark that it was about to drip...

Dude, don't I want to lose face if I have a loud voice? ! -
Newcastle recovered a goal, but Liverpool did not raise their vigilance. After all, they still lead their opponents 3-1.

What's more, the rhythm of the next game is still in the hands of the visiting team. Just a few minutes later, Milner lobbed a free kick to the left. Moreno inserted into the left rib of the penalty area and scored the ball lightly, but was blinded by the assistant referee. Blown offside.

However, even if they suffer a misjudgment, it will not affect the mood of the players. Liverpool is still in a state of crushing the home team in all aspects of statistics.

In the 83rd minute, Joe Allen was directly knocked to the ground by Sissoko in the middle circle, but the referee did not respond at all.

Before Long Shute had time to appeal to the referee on behalf of the team, Sissoko pierced Liverpool's backcourt defense with a diagonal pass!

Long Shute turned around sharply, and saw a figure in a black and white sword-striped shirt rushing out from between Klein and Skrtel like a whirlwind!
Still... Wijnaldum!

The 25-year-old Dutch midfielder faced Mignolet who abandoned the goal and shot a relaxed and freehand arc lob!

2-3!Newcastle narrowed the point difference to one goal!
St James's Stadium roared with cheers.

Rogers was a little sluggish:

"Who is this black boy? He broke through our defense twice in 15 minutes by himself?! Buy him!"
