Green Dragon

Chapter 645 What is a Christmas Champion?
"Liverpool is tied! Long live the Hornets!"

Before Christmas, the entire English football world was singing the name of the "savior" Watford.

But for Liverpool, being drawn was not a distraught result.

In this season, they lost to Manchester United, Crystal Palace, and drew with Norwich,

But "Long Shute didn't score a goal" made the entire English football world excited.

Because since Long Shute landed in the Premier League, except for being sent off by a red card in the double red meeting and losing the game, as long as he started the game, Liverpool won all without exception!

When he is at full strength, the Red Army's opponents can hardly even get a draw!
But Watford abruptly destroyed this myth!

The bumblebee used its sharp and vicious tail sting to viciously sting this guy who might have ascended into a mortal!
Long Shute...he is still human!
Even in Spain on the other side of the ocean, countless people breathed a sigh of relief.

The omnipotent Chinese dragon finally fell under the iron wall of Watford!
The human soccer world...has finally been saved! -
"Merry Christmas!"

Long Shute once again came to the recording and broadcasting site of BBC "Match Day".

The famous English football star and famous host Gary Lineker sent him a hug with a smile on his face, and joked by the way:
"Hahaha, I hope your mood won't be affected too much."

Long Shu shrugged:

"Oh no, I'm so depressed right now that I want to announce my retirement straight away!
Can you understand my mood?One day I found myself playing 90 minutes...not even scoring a goal!I really began to doubt whether I had the talent to play football..."

Lineker laughed:
"I remember you once said in an interview that you were not originally a talented player, but relied on extraordinary diligence and hard work to slowly reach the pinnacle of life..."

Long Shute waved his hand:
"That's a lie. If I don't have any talent, even if I work ten times harder, I won't be able to achieve today's results..."

N major illusions in football:
Italy is weak, England is strong, China has another good draw, Arsenal is aiming for the championship, Ronaldo has no talent, Messi doesn't work hard...

As far as talent is concerned, Ronaldo, who has just debuted, can allow Ferguson to scoop up Manchester United with a record transfer fee for young players in the world, starting his legendary life from then on.

As for Messi's talent, there is no need to say more.

Of course, Long Shute's talent is not as good as Messi and Ronaldo, who meet once in 20 years, but he has the super endurance and excellent speed that are enough to make a name for himself in the green field from the very beginning. With physical endurance and ten years of hard training, he finally ascended to the pinnacle of football.

After all, it is competitive sports. If you have no talent at all, it is really difficult to gain a foothold in this industry.

Instead of delving further into the dialectical topic of "talent and hard work," Lineker officially started the show:

"First of all, we would like to congratulate you, and Liverpool, on your Christmas titles in the 2015-16 Premier League."

Long Shute continued to wave his hands:
"Is there a trophy for this championship? No. Can it be recorded in the club's honor book? No! So for me, it is not worth congratulating at all."

Seeing Lineker's speechless expression, another resident guest, Liverpool star Mark Lawrenson, clapped his hands happily and smiled:

"Hahaha, Long, I guess I know why Rogers handed over the captain's armband to you directly."

Long Shute muttered in his heart:
Sorry, you have no idea...

"Hey, let's get down to business," Lineker cleared his throat, "After the 17th round, let's take a look at the changes in the standings..."

On the big screen behind them, a huge scoreboard appeared.

"The number one is of course Liverpool, with 13 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, accumulating 41 points. There is no doubt that the performance of the Red Army is seen by everyone, but the team ranked second surprised everyone... "

Lineker paused for a moment:

“莱斯特城以11胜5平1负38分的成绩紧随其后，随后是36分的阿森纳、32分的曼城、30分的曼联、以及同积29分的热刺和水晶宫……”

Mortenson said:

"Leicester City's performance this season is really unimaginable. You must know that they had just been promoted to the Premier League in the summer of 2014. Their coach Claudio Ranieri also said at the beginning of the season that the team's goal is just to get the Premier League. 40 points, so as to retain the qualifications to participate in the Premier League, but who would have thought that at nearly half of the schedule, they were only 3 points behind the leaders, and they even hoped to touch the league championship trophy? Gary, as a former Players who play for Fox City, you should be very happy now, right?"

Lineker, who is from Leicester and has played for Fox City for 7 seasons, does have a smile on his face:
"Yes, the sudden outbreak of Fox City is definitely unexpected, but there is another team that is also surprising. After 17 rounds, we have no way to see the familiar team in the top half of the standings. The name...that's right, I'm talking about Chelsea, as the defending champions, the Blues can only rank 15th! They are only 18 points away from the relegation zone of 3th place!"

Mortensen expressed his mentality that watching the excitement is not a big deal:
"Although Abramovich fired Mourinho, he still failed to stop the team's downward momentum. If the current momentum is followed, I am worried that Hiddink will become the second Mourinho in a month. ..."

But Long Shute is a good person:

"I believe Chelsea will get back on track soon and with their quality, they can at least finish in the top eight at the end of the season."

"It's such a relief coming from the guy who kicked Mourinho off the cliff himself..."

Lineker teased:
"The reason why Liverpool and Leicester City can be separated from the top two in the standings is inseparable from the outstanding performance of the core players in their teams. Of course, the key to Liverpool's rise is this one. He played in the 13 league games he participated in. Scored a staggering 36 goals and provided 13 assists, it's a pity Watford didn't let you improve that number again."

Long Shu shrugged his shoulders:

"You made fun of me at the beginning of the show, Gary."

"Haha," Lineker smiled and continued:
"And Leicester City also has such key players, let's take a look at the league goal list!"

The picture on the big screen suddenly changed.

"The first place is of course the Chinese Dragon with 13 goals in 36 games, and the second place is a name that many people are unfamiliar with...Jamie Vardy, the efficiency of 17 goals in 15 games is not high even in other leagues. Competing for number one, that's Leicester City's number one goalscorer!"

Mortensen reminded with a smile:
"Please continue to look down. The third place is also an unfamiliar name, Liad Mahrez, with 15 goals in 13 games. He is Vardy's teammate. Yes, the two cores of Leicester City's offense , swept the second and third places on this list, this is the biggest reason why they can get the current ranking!"

Lineker nodded slightly:

"Yes, Liverpool has the Oriental Dragon, but Fox City has Vardy and Riyad Mahrez. Five days later, Liverpool will be at home to meet the challenge of Leicester City. For Ranieri, if If they beat their opponents, they can even out the difference between the two sides and tie for the first place in the standings with Liverpool!"

"On December 12, will Anfield usher in a fight?"

"Is the crazy dragon in the scoring shortage more crazy? Or is the two tigers who are united stronger?"
