Chapter 680 This Tottenham is a bit strong!
Special thanks to "Fengyue £" for tipping 10000 starting coins.

Every time I see a reward, I always feel like I'm alive again...
-
"I heard someone scored F**K... 20 goals in 17 minutes with the national team?"

"17 balls? Although today is April Fool's Day, this joke is not funny at all!"

When Long Shute returned to the training base, what he waited for was not the worship of his teammates, but a burst of ruthless ridicule.

Especially his younger brother Emre Can was even more merciless:

"I heard that the opponents are a group of tour guides, drivers and cooks. How could he have the heart to kick these working people?"

Long Shu shrugged:

"Hello world champion's substitute, I can't be as broad-minded as you are, and you are so happy after being kicked 0-2 by England's second team!"

The fringe substitute who finally played two games in the German team immediately withered...
-
Thanks to Liverpool's overall performance, the status of the players in their respective national teams has also risen:

For example, Coutinho has firmly secured the second position in the frontcourt of the Brazilian team, second only to the Brazilian captain Neymar, and Firmino has gradually found his place in the Selecao.

Lallana, Milner, Henderson and other local English players are becoming more and more stable in the Three Lions. As Rooney is getting old, he is good at attacking and defending, has plenty of energy, a positive attitude, and a good long pass. Henderson has even become the most popular candidate for the first captain of Sanmeow.

Of course, Lovren and Skrtel are still the main defenders of Croatia and Slovakia. Morello and Klein have also gradually gained opportunities to play in the first teams of Spain and England. Even Bader, who has faded out of the main list of the German team for many years Stubel, also reappeared several times in some warm-up matches.

But everyone has a clear feeling that no matter which national team they are in, their performance always seems to fall short of their own status in the club. This feeling is most obvious in the games where Long Shute has played.

Of course they didn't know about Long Shute's team aura, but they attributed this phenomenon to the core function - from the effect point of view, it was indeed the case, yes.

A superb core, of course, can drive the entire team to perform better. This is the case with Gerrard in his peak period, and the same is true for Suarez in the 13-14 season.

It's just that now it's Long Shute's turn, and Long Shute is stronger than Gerrard and Suarez at their peak.
-
4 month 2 day.

After a gap of two weeks, Premier League fans once again ushered in an exciting league.

Of course, England's 2-0 warm-up match against World Cup champion Germany a few days ago also made British fans very happy, but an insignificant national team warm-up match is still not as exciting as the magnificent and ups and downs of the league.

Long Shute, who returned to the team at the latest, only trained with the team once, so he sat on the bench willingly in this game.

On the contrary, the little Brazilian magician Coutinho, who also traveled thousands of miles, insisted on starting the game, but Rodgers had no choice but to agree. After all, he is also the key player in the team after Long Shute, and this privilege is still there. .

In this way, Liverpool ushered in their opponents in the 32nd round of the league at Anfield-Tottenham Hotspur.

"Tottenham Hotspur have been in very good form this season. They are currently ranked third in the standings, second only to Liverpool and Leicester City, with a 2-point advantage over rivals Arsenal in the same city. Liverpool are more than 10 points behind and the chances of winning the title are very slim."

Perhaps because he knew in advance that Long Shute would not start, Zhan Tianjun was the only one in the commentary for this game.

He didn't care, but continued dutifully:

"The most noteworthy player in the Tottenham team is the local striker Harry Kane. This young player under the age of 23 ushered in a big explosion last season. He scored 34 goals in 21 league games and was elected as the best young player in the Premier League. players.

Many people thought it was just a flash in the pan at the time, but they didn’t expect him to be even hotter this season. As of now, there are still 8 rounds of the league, and he has scored the same number of goals as last season. He will definitely become England’s future Arrow characters! "
-
Without Long Special, Liverpool and Tottenham played against each other at Anfield, and the game scene was very exciting.

In the 16th minute, Coutinho cut in and took a long shot. Sun Xingmin, who returned to the penalty area, scrambled to clear the siege, but kicked the ball directly to his own goal. Fortunately, the goalkeeper Lori focused and held the ball firmly in his arms. inside.

In the 23rd minute, Henderson sent a through pass. After Coutinho broke into the penalty area, he was squeezed to the ground by the opponent's defender. He strongly applied for a penalty kick, but was punished by the referee for diving and received a disgraceful yellow card.

A few minutes later, Milner was also shoveled to the ground by Walker in the penalty area, and the head coach also refused to award a penalty.

If Coutinho's fall still had a hint of exaggeration, but Milner, a local hero, was shoveled down firmly, but the referee on duty insisted on principles as if he hadn't seen it. Get boos from the stands at Anfield.

From the 35th minute to the intermission, it became the time for Lloris to perform alone. The French team's No. [-] goalkeeper made high and low blocks, and made three consecutive close shots by Coutinho, Lallana and Sturridge. All the shots from distance were blocked from the bottom line, trying to keep Tottenham from losing.
-
Coutinho, who returned to the locker room, was obviously a little depressed.

Although he no longer dares to challenge Long Shute, as the second player in the team, he is still eager to prove to the world that there is not only one Long Shute in Liverpool!

He... Philippe Coutinho is also a top superstar!

But in the first half, his own performances were somewhat unconvincing.

You know, when they challenged Tottenham away at White Hart Lane in the first round, Liverpool, who had a special dragon, beat the opponent with a 7-1 disparity and broke down on the spot!
People are afraid of making random comparisons.

There are obviously many factors that are different between home and away games, then and now, but the outside world will not consider such details.

They will only show the most direct score and say unceremoniously:

"Statistics don't lie, right? Long Ritian led the team to wash away opponents in the away game, let you lead the team... It is difficult to win at home? Are you ashamed to say that you are the second core?"

Coutinho is not a player who likes to vent his emotions, so when he is depressed, he will only hold these negative thoughts in his heart.

Long Shute had noticed the kid's emotions a long time ago, and he didn't specifically comfort him because he was afraid of self-defeating.

He just said to all his teammates:

"Tottenham's tactics are very demanding on physical fitness. Their formation has shown signs of loosening. We need to be more patient and use more passes to tear the defense line. The goal will definitely come."

There is nothing wrong with what he said, but whether other people will draw other meanings, that is beyond what he can predict...
-
Maybe it was Long Shute's speech that boosted morale, or maybe it was just stimulated. Just 5 minutes into the second half, Liverpool finally broke the deadlock, and it was Coutinho who scored the goal!

The Brazilian and Sturridge hit the wall in front of the penalty area, and then Lallana led a gap from the defense line. Xiao Li Guang shot without hesitation, and the ball went directly along the gap and into the goal ! 1-0!

Coutinho was relieved, and he also saw Long Shute on the sidelines applauding and celebrating, with a happy look on his face.

It's even better than the head coach!
-
But Liverpool and Coutinho were not happy for too long. After 10 minutes, Tottenham equalized the score.

Eriksson sent a through pass from the wing, and Harry Kane, who was standing on the left side of the penalty area, leaned on Lovren with his back. After stopping the ball with his left foot, he turned halfway and completed a burst shot with his right foot!

Less than 8 meters away from the goal, Mignolet can't stop such a shot even if he has three heads and six arms!
1-1!
-
"In the 63rd minute, Tottenham tenaciously equalized the score, and the two sides returned to the same starting line."

Zhan Tianjun shook his head:
"Judging from the game data, Tottenham's away game is slightly better in terms of shots, ball possession rate, cross success rate, steal success rate, etc. Surprisingly, Liverpool, who are taller overall, are slightly better in terms of headers. The success rate was completely suppressed by Tottenham, the ratio of the two sides was only 30% to 70%!"

His eyelids suddenly twitched:
"Put these statistics aside, Liverpool is about to make a substitution!"

In the 68th minute, the man finally took off his substitute vest and stood beside the fourth official! -
"How to fight, Captain?"

Henderson wrapped the captain's armband around the arm of Long Shute who had just played, and asked about tactics.

The Chinese captain enjoyed the service of the England captain (one of the backups), and his eyes swept across Tottenham:
"Just give me the ball."

Henderson nodded thoughtfully, then moved his hand, and Emre Can who was not far away immediately sent the ball to Long Shute's feet.
-
"Oh!"

"boom!"

"Boom!"

After 20 minutes, Long Shute finally raised his head.

The sky above Anfield was already full of singing praising him, and the huge banner with his image printed on it was flying in the KOP stands.

“这就是红军队长的实力，20分钟完成帽子戏法，帮助利物浦把比分从1-1变成了4-1！”

Zhan Tianjun couldn't help admiring, as a Liverpool fan, he was naturally full of pleasure.

However, he didn't notice that during the nearly 20 minutes, the Red Army captain... didn't seem to complete how many passes?
-
"You can pass the ball to me, boss?"

Emre Can asked pitifully, he had already run out of half the space just now, but he didn't wait for the expected pass, wasting his energy in vain.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Long Shute shrugged his shoulders. "I'm still immersed in the national team's game. In the national team, if I can shoot, I will never pass it to others. The shot just now , Do you have any opinions? Or, you can definitely score goals in your position?"

"No opinion, no opinion!"

Company Commander Zhan shook his head like a rattle, but his heart was like a mirror.

This Captain Long must be resenting himself for laughing at him yesterday!
Why are you so cheap?

It's a nice big thick leg, can't you hug it obediently?
Why do you have to peel it every time? !
-
Long Shute ignored the turmoil in the little brother's heart, but nodded thoughtfully.

I am still too big.

In the Maldives, it was easy to score 25 goals in 17 minutes, but in Tottenham, they could barely score 3 goals. This kind of data comparison shows an obvious truth:
Tottenham's strength is still much stronger than Maldives.

I'm still not strong enough!

When can you randomly score 10 on teams like Tottenham and Manchester City, and then you can become a real football king!
