Green Dragon

Chapter 698 Reversal?I don't agree!
"Sorry Daniel, but we needed to change tactics in the second half."

When Sturridge walked into the dressing room at half-time, he heard the manager say that to himself.

No one is content to be substituted after 45 minutes, because that would just tell everyone that he is the least useful player in this starting XI.

But Sturridge could only nod in acceptance.

Today's Liverpool is at its peak, and Rodgers has changed from an incompetent waste to a champion coach today. He has a strong influence among the young players in the team, and with Sturridge's current status in the club, it is really true. There is no way to fight against the head coach...

"James, get ready to play!"

Rogers patted Milner on the shoulder:

"Use your running to help us stabilize the midfield!"

Milner nodded firmly, but Emrejan, who was sitting beside him, lowered his head in disappointment.
-
After Rodgers adjusted the lineup, he and his assistants retreated to a corner of the locker room, leaving space and time to the players.

"I played well in the first half, and now I have a 10-minute break, Mamadou and Nathaniel, I suggest you go for a massage, your muscles are a little too tense."

As the captain, Long Shute didn't have any nonsense. He also used the system's functions to remind Sacco and Klein to relax in time to avoid accidents in the second half.

The Liverpool players have long been accustomed to the magic of the captain. It seems that starting from the second half of the season, the number of injuries within the team has indeed decreased a lot compared to before.

Sacco even obeyed the words of Captain Long, who had saved his career, and dragged Klein to lie on the massage table without saying a word.

The young Klein originally wanted to pretend to be a hero, but he did not disobey the captain's order after all.

Anyway... What's the harm in getting a massage?
-
In a final like this, no one can really relax enough to sleep.

If you really calm down, you will feel more tense.

So the players will find some topics in twos and threes to ease their emotions.

Of course, when Long Shute played for Bayern, they would usually make up two tables of sheep's cards, and then kill the sky, and even delay the team's playing time in the second half...

"Ugh……"

Sturridge let out a long sigh, which attracted everyone's attention.

Even Rogers pricked up his ears. Does this guy... want to complain publicly?
I only heard Sturridge say quietly:

"If I knew I was going to rest at halftime, I should have given my all in the first half, especially those two shots, and I shouldn't have given them to you, captain."

Long Shute smiled and patted him on the shoulder:

"Don't worry, Daniel, I will inherit your will and sprinkle red all over the stadium!"

Sturridge:

"I just quit, not retired!"
-
Between the chatting and laughing of the Liverpool players, the intermission soon came to an end.

Rogers looked at his watch, ready to emphasize discipline again.

Before he even lifted his butt, however, the locker room fell silent.

Only one voice sounded:
"Guys, I hope the four-goal lead hasn't lost your cool."

Long Shute's voice was not too loud, but it could be heard very clearly in the whole locker room:
"UEFA have been suppressing Premier League teams for a long time and Mamadou almost missed the game because of that.

We played very well in the first half, but we should also notice that the referee team's judgment is obviously inclined to Sevilla. You probably don't know that the chairman of UEFA's referee committee is a Spaniard.

I'm not saying that there will definitely be conspiracy theories in this game, but I'm just here to remind everyone that even though they lead by four goals, they should not be too relaxed.

In the second half, we still have to keep our spirits up. The defenders must be extra cautious when defending, and don't let them get a penalty kick; the forwards must pay attention to self-protection when scrambling for the ball. The action is too much, and we can also fall a little bit more, you all know what I mean. "

Both Firmino and Coutinho laughed—although they are both honest boys, as Brazilian players, how could they not have been exposed to diving performances?

"Coach, do you have anything else to emphasize?"

After Long Shute finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Rogers.

Rogers clapped his hands:

"You can set foot on the battlefield!"
-
After the start of the second half, the Liverpool players immediately felt that Captain Long's speech was really not nonsense.

Bud just pushed Banega away with his butt, and was directly shown a yellow card by the referee. At this time, Banega had no chance of catching up with the football...

Sevilla, backed by the referee, seemed to have found their confidence. After the opening, they pressed heavily and launched fierce attacks one after another.

In the 54th minute, Sevilla's onslaught finally paid off, and they managed to get a penalty!
The culprit was Lovren.

The Croatian central defender stretched out his left hand superficially while defending, and grabbed Gameiro's shoulder. Gameiro, who was about to be pushed out of the baseline by him, suddenly collapsed to the ground like an electric shock...

Yellow card + penalty!

Lovren angrily pulled Gameiro up from the ground:

"You bloody liar! I just touched you lightly and you fell down? Why didn't you just fly up to the stands? The show is more realistic that way!"

Gameiro, who was flopping, shook off his pull, covered his face with his hands, and lay down straight.

His teammates surrounded the referee angrily:

"Mr. Referee, have you seen it? This defender is simply a villain!"

The referee Eriksson from Sweden hesitated for a moment, then took out the yellow card for the second time and raised it towards Lovren!
"Two yellows turned into one red?!"

Zhan Tianjun couldn't believe it:
"Lovren got two yellow cards in five seconds! Liverpool... got a man sent off in the 54th minute!"
-
Sevilla did not waste this hard-won precious opportunity, and the score was rewritten to 1-4.

In the stands, their fans also clamored again. They thought they saw the light of a miracle.

But Long Shute absolutely didn't allow him to become someone else's background!

"Filipe, Roberto," he greeted the two Brazilian teammates:
"You don't need to retreat to defend, just pay attention to going forward, I will pass the ball to you at any time!"
-
Long Shute did what he said!
In the 61st minute, he successfully cut off the pass between Sevilla's frontcourt players in a defense, and then directly tore through the opponent's defense with a 50-meter long pass!

Firmino started from his own half, so there is no possibility of offside at all!
"Firmino made a long run! Sevilla only had one goalkeeper in the half!"

Zhan Tianjun felt that the adrenaline in his body was surging upwards crazily, as if he might suffocate at any time!

But he can't suffocate, he must persevere, and at the same time use his fast speech to convey the scene of the game to tens of millions of fans in front of the TV in the first place:
"The goalkeeper strikes! Firmino shoots! False shot is real pass! Coutinho outflanks the middle! Pushes the empty goal! This goal...scored! 5-1!"
-
A counter-attack did not wake Sevilla, as they were soon followed by a massive push into Liverpool's half.

But they quickly recalled one thing.

Between 2011 and 2014, the most terrifying counterattack king in the whole of Europe... who is it?
In the 68th minute, Henderson snatched the ball from Gameiro's feet. Without any hesitation, he stabbed it directly to Long Shute who was standing slightly behind.

Next, the whole Sevilla team trembled just like that.

Long Shute took a deep breath and took a step towards the ball!
Let the whole of Europe recall it again!

The man who walked Kaka, Ronaldo, Messi, and Neymar for 60 meters... has returned!
"This is the real long-distance raid!"

Zhang Lu couldn't help admiring.

Zhan Tianjun was even more excited:
"Over 80 meters of uninterrupted dribbling with the ball! Long Shute's speed is unmatched! The whole process was like howling winds and tanks pressing down! No one in the Sevilla team could even come within five meters of him! Just three or four One breath and the goal is in sight! He, he, he, he shot! 6-1!"
-
"boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

There seemed to be a muffled thunder in the stands, and the whole stadium trembled.

Here are more than 2 Liverpool fans frantically trampling the stands under their feet.

This is more than 2 red KOPs venting their inner ecstasy indulgently!
Sevilla want to keep the suspense?

They want to do a miracle... in front of Liverpool?
sorry!
Our captain refuses!
