Green Dragon

Chapter 676 Heroes and Villains

"Dragon God is coming!"

This was one of the many news headlines after the game, but definitely not the most exaggerated one.

For example, "From now on, my surname is Long, and Long Shute is my father!"

"I just wanted to eat an orange, but Papa Long contracted me an orange mountain!"

Such titles must only be circulated in some forums...

Although the match between the Maldives and the Chinese team definitely did not attract as much attention as the matches between England, Brazil, Germany, and Argentina, Long Shute's 17 goals in a single game still sparked an upsurge of discussion in world football.

"Maldives...isn't it a small resort island? There is also a football team in this kind of place?"

"I saw the keeper the last time I was on holiday and he was driving a truck!"

"That winger looks like a dock worker!"

"That lower back is the master of the bath!"

"I'm so fucking envious of Long Shute, who can score crazy goals on this kind of team. Our President Luo is about to face the challenge of the whole of Europe. The difficulty of the two is simply worlds apart..."

"Don't talk nonsense, there are soft persimmons like Gibraltar, San Marino, and Liechtenstein in Europe, okay? My club champion is miserable. There are a total of 10 teams in South America, and each one is tough! What more than 4000 meters of high-altitude monsters In the away game, we are short of oxygen before we even start playing!"

……

He played 25 minutes off the bench and scored 17 goals. After deducting the celebration and re-queuing kick-off time, Long Shute can score a goal about every 40 seconds.

If there is a problem to be found, it is...he did not complete a pass in these 25 minutes!
He has only four moves:
Catch, dribble, dribble, shoot.

He doesn't even need to be extraordinary, because the amateur players of the Maldives have already been dragged to physical breakdown by the professional players of the Chinese team!
Those national football players with annual salaries of hundreds or even tens of millions, at least outshine their opponents in terms of physical fitness!
In 25 minutes, 19 shots turned into 17 goals, and there was not even a drop of sweat on Long Shute's forehead! -
After the game, Long Shute, who had recovered from the humanoid self-propelled rocket launcher mode, suddenly felt that he was a little sorry for those teammates.

Especially Jiang Ning, who originally performed a hat-trick in history, not only did not continue to score in the second half, but was completely covered by his own light...

For the first time, he felt that he might...really be a little too lonely.

But what does that matter?
-
When 99.99% of people are madly praising the miracle of Longshu, 0.01% of people will make discordant voices.

For example, there is a sound that is particularly harsh:
"Even if he doesn't return to the national team, can't the Chinese team win against the Maldives?"

"In order to show his heroism for the country and the people, he doesn't care about the interests of the club that pays him every day. Even if such a person finally helps the Chinese team enter the World Cup, he is a hypocritical villain!"

"Look at those Liverpool fans, how can you have the heart to abandon them?!"

……

These voices are not groundless.

Just three days before Long Shute slaughtered the Maldives, Liverpool also ushered in their opponents in the 31st round of the league-they went to Southampton to challenge their dear fellows who have a deep relationship with them.

Since many players, like Long Shute, need to participate in the world preliminaries, especially South American players such as Coutinho and Firmino, Rodgers sent a semi-main lineup dominated by European players.

第17到22分钟，库蒂尼奥和斯图里奇在5分钟之内先后进球，利物浦在客场取得2-0领先。

The next game is still in Liverpool's grasp. If it weren't for the brave state of the opponent's goalkeeper Foster, the Saints might have fallen behind 0-4 at the end of the first half.

The second half just started, although Southampton immediately won a penalty, but the team's thigh Mane's shot was bravely saved by Mignolet.

After the 60th minute, Rogers replaced Coutinho and Lovren one after another, allowing the two main players to get a proper rest.

Then...they suddenly collapsed!
From the 65th minute, Southampton's offensive suddenly became extremely sharp. Pellet assisted Mane twice to break through the goal guarded by Mignolet, and he himself scored a goal. In the 84th minute, the score It has gone from 0-2 to 3-2!

For a season, Rodgers has long been spoiled by the omnipotent Long Shute. He is used to the boring plot of getting a three-pointer and a victory as long as he puts the big man on the court. After the team was reversed, he couldn't react at all!

He replaced Origi and used Benteke, Origi, and Sturridge to attack for 6 minutes, but still failed to equalize the score!

Liverpool lost 2-3 to Southampton, while their title rivals Leicester City beat Crystal Palace 1-0 in the away game. In the season, Liverpool was narrowed by the Blue Fox to 3 points!
That's right, Liverpool still have two make-up matches. In theory, they still maintain the initiative to compete for the championship. , It is still difficult to easily win against them.

After all, as long as the points have not been obtained, there will always be the possibility of overturning in the gutter. This kind of plot that sees a glimmer of hope but ultimately makes people more desperate, Liverpool fans have experienced it two or three times a few years ago...

Liverpool still has 9 league rounds, and Leicester City has 7 rounds. No one can predict what will happen during these two months.

Long Shute sent a text message to Rogers:
"Brendan, you make it easy for me to have... I am the boss of the team, and I will be relegated if the team leaves... This kind of thinking!"

Rogers replied to him within 1 minute:
"Isn't the Chinese team game over? Hurry up and get back!"

Long Shute explained again helplessly:
"I doubt if your memory has suffered some major damage. I told you clearly that I have two games this week!"
-
As well as a few text messages between the manager and the captain, Southampton's reversal of Liverpool's game had another consequence:
Rogers became more determined to continue buying people from fellow villagers.

Two league games, one League Cup, Mane, who can score twice every time, undoubtedly became the first on the signing list, while Pellet, Wanyama, Van Dijk, and even goalkeeper Foss Special, all were written down by Rogers in his little notebook.

A scout from the Liverpool club lived directly around the Saints training base. He would come to observe the status of these players every day and report to the head coach in time. Not willing to join Liverpool...

Although it is only March, as a club, it is absolutely impossible for Liverpool to really wait until the summer transfer window officially opens after June before starting to sign up. Otherwise, the hundreds of staff only need to work for four months a year. It's time to rest...

The big red hand once again reached out to their most familiar opponent in recent years, Southampton.

This time they decided that, apart from stitches and stitches, they would just evacuate the fellow's house!
Anyway...Liverpool doesn't seem to be short of money now!
--What?Since Southampton is so strong, why doesn't Rogers just coach his fellow countrymen?
You... are really right!
