Green Dragon

Chapter 714 Long Batian is not human

"It's not the strongest Arsenal."

At the press conference after the game, Long Shute once again said something amazing:

"They have top players like Sanchez, Ozil and Petr Cech, but I don't see any temperament in them that can threaten Liverpool. Yes, what I mean is very simple. They are at best a team competing for No.4. Teams, not championship favorites.

If anyone wants to bet on Arsenal to win the championship, I hope they give up this stupid behavior of wasting pocket money sooner.If you have this spare cash, you might as well buy England to get the 2018 World Cup. "

Of course, such impolite remarks by the captain of the Red Army were disgusted by the home team.

Wenger frowned unhappily:
"It's just the first game of the new season, we're not like them, Liverpool have played two games, they got into shape earlier and we need time.

Our players worked hard, Sanchez in particular, and of course we are a bit disappointed with the result, but life goes on and we cannot stop after a defeat.

Compete for the championship?It is too far to talk about this topic now. For us, the most important thing is to take every step in a down-to-earth manner. "

Afterwards, Wenger gradually entered the state, and his face slowly returned to normal. He even changed his style and turned to his opponent:
"To be honest, I won't be surprised to lose to Liverpool led by Long Shute, because they do have such strength in the Premier League. If at the end of the season, they defend the championship with an unbeaten record, I will also feel that As it should be.

Yes, you heard me right, I am afraid that no team in this world can guarantee that they can beat Liverpool, of course, the premise is that Long Shute is on the field.

Twenty years ago, Ronaldo, who played for Barcelona, ​​was called an alien by Robson, but today I have to say that Long Shute cannot even be called a human being.

After being severely paralyzed to the point of being paralyzed, he is as healthy and stronger as a 20-year-old who has never been injured.

He... is not human at all! "
-
"The Chinese dragon is not a human", such a messy headline was on the front pages of major media in a few minutes.

Although Arsenal has missed the ranks of the top giants for many years, the old and firm Wenger is still the top coach in football. His evaluation of Long Special can indeed be compared with that of Barcelona coach Robson 20 years ago. Ronaldo's evaluation is on par.

The Chinese fans are of course very happy, and some people vomited a trough by the way:
"Of course the Chinese dragon is not a human, he is a dragon!"
-
A week later, on August 8, Liverpool won another 20-7 away game.

This time, it was Burnley who successfully surpassed them with the Championship last season.

The Red Army, which once had the reputation of "robbing the rich and helping the poor", never gave this newly promoted team any chance from the very beginning.

Gerrard, who started the game, used a heavy shot to remind the entire Premier League of how terrifying the red No. 8 was, and it was Long Special, who made him regain [-]% of his peak strength, who sent him a precise direct pass.

Then, Coutinho, who returned from injury, made a pass and made a contribution, while Sturridge also scored. Less than 30 minutes into the game, Liverpool had a 3-0 lead in the away game.

Since Gerrard started this game, Long Shute deliberately moved his position back a little, so that the old captain can play his strength more at ease in the front, but in this way, Long Shute's own opportunity Undoubtedly much less.

But what does it matter?

Even if Gerrard, Coutinho, and Sturridge perform a hat-trick, do they feel that they are more worthy of the core position than the 95 guy behind?
After the 60th minute of the second half, Burnley, who launched consecutive counterattacks and successfully scored a goal, did not see the hope of tying the score, but felt endless regret.

Because, that cosmic monster wearing the No. 95 jersey... was completely enraged by this goal!
Scored 12 goals in 4 minutes!
This is Long Shute's response to Burnley!
Just a newly promoted horse, just keep relegation!
Don't expect a Kaiserslautern miracle!

Who am I, Long Batian?

How could I send you warmth!
-
The game against Burnley can almost be described as relaxed and happy, so of course it is impossible for Long Shute to spend too much energy studying this game.

In this week's time, Liverpool took care of winger Mohamed Salah, who was underappreciated in AC Milan.

The Egyptian frontcourt who played with Long Shute for half a season, after confirming that Liverpool was interested in him, decided to transfer without saying a word...

But this is also normal. After all, Salah and Long Shute have the same agent-although the agent has been "heart-heartedly fired" by the Long boss who is dedicated to Liverpool, they are obviously still closer. contact.

After a brief recovery in 2013-2015, AC Milan fell into a trough again due to the limitation of behind-the-scenes funds. Their financial situation obviously could no longer keep a player like Salah who had some ideals and certain abilities.

What's more, Long Shute's quotation was not low at all.

6600 million euros!

Although Salah has done a good job in Milan for a season, but all fronts add up, he barely handed over the transcript of 18 goals, and he did not win any trophy. According to the authoritative German media "Transfer Market "It seems that his worth is at most 4000 million euros.

Of course, considering that Germany's assessment is generally relatively conservative, and today's transfer market has skyrocketed prices, 4000 million is obviously only a reference.

Therefore, in the eyes of public opinion, this slightly high offer may be Liverpool's compensation to Milan for getting Long Shute for free.
-
When Salah landed at Anfield with the first price in the history of the Liverpool club, everyone knew another thing:
Coutinho's transfer has also been confirmed.

Sure enough, after sweeping Burnley 7-1, Liverpool officially announced:
The Brazilian winger, who played for three and a half seasons at Anfield, officially moved to La Liga giants Barcelona.

Contrary to history, whether it is the club, coaches, teammates, or those fans who once loved Coutinho, they all expressed their blessings for this transfer.

Especially the Liverpool fans, they even behaved extra calmly.

This contrast is of course very understandable, because now Liverpool welcomes Gerrard back and also adds enough strong support.

It's even more because they also have a captain far stronger than Coutinho!
-
Kubird left the team and Salah joined. Once in and out, Liverpool's transfer market this summer was officially closed.

All the players who stayed in Liverpool received a new contract that was more lucrative than last season, and the boss Long, who had been known by the players, simply canceled his weekly salary and instead received bonuses for victories and goals ——Of course, the amount of this bonus is much higher than that of ordinary players, such as 10 pounds for a goal in the league, 20 pounds for a goal in the Champions League, etc...

Speaking of the Champions League, after the second round of the league, Long Shute, as a player representative, flew to Monaco with Johnson, Rodgers and others to participate in the draw ceremony for the 2016-2017 UEFA Champions League group stage held there.

Although Liverpool have done almost nothing in European competition for five seasons since 2011, they are only in the third tier if only the European competition points are counted, but...they are the champions of the Premier League, according to the latest According to the rules, UEFA's top seven league champions automatically qualify for the first tier. Therefore, Liverpool can avoid many league hegemons, and Real Madrid (as Champions League champion), Barcelona (La Liga champion), Juventus Strong teams such as Bundesliga, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Benfica, CSKA Moscow and other strong teams have become the seeded team together.

The second tier includes:

Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal, Tottenham, Sevilla, Porto, Naples, Leverkusen, each of them is a hard bone next to the champion in each league.

The strength of the third-tier teams has declined significantly:

Basel, Dynamo Kiev, Lyon, PSV Eindhoven, Sporting Lisbon (i.e. Sporting Lisbon), Club Brugge, Monchengladbach, Celtic.

The players in the fourth tier are weaker:
Monaco, Besiktas, Legia Warsaw, Dinamo Zagreb, Ludogorets, Copenhagen, Rostov, Leicester City.

Since the former bald secretary-general Infantino Qingyun rose to become the number one boss of FIFA, the host of the draw ceremony became Marchetti, the director of the athletic department.

And since the home court of this UEFA Champions League final is set up at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, the guest of the draw is the Welsh legend... Ian Rush.

Well, this is a legendary Liverpool striker who played twice for the Red Army. In 14 seasons and 660 games, Rush scored a total of 346 goals, with an average of more than 0.52 goals per game. The top superstars of the time.

"I always feel that the overall strength of the four teams in the Premier League...is a little weak."

During the live broadcast of the lottery ceremony, CCTV host He Wei expressed the feelings of many viewers:

"The Manchester duo and Chelsea failed to qualify for the Champions League. Instead... they were last season's league runner-up Leicester City, third runner-up Arsenal, and No.4 Tottenham.

Fox City is the first time in history to participate in the UEFA Champions League. It can be said that they have no experience. In the past five seasons, Tottenham have played in the Europa League for five consecutive years. The players in the team are generally relatively young, and there are few people. They participated in the UEFA Champions League six years ago, as for Arsenal...their fate seems to have already been decided, at most they will reach the first round of the knockout round..."

In this context, the 32 teams were quickly divided into 8 groups.

Group A: Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal, Basel, Ludogorets (Bulgaria).

Group B: Benfica, Napoli, Dynamo Kiev (Ukraine), Leicester City.

Group C: Barcelona, ​​Tottenham Hotspur, Monchengladbach, Besiktas (Turkey).

Group D: Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid, PSV Eindhoven, Rostov (Russia)
Group E: CSKA Moscow, Bayer Leverkusen, Celtic (Scotland), Monaco (France).

Group F: Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Sporting Lisbon, Warsaw Legion (Poland).

Group G: Liverpool, Porto, Club Brugge (Belgium), Copenhagen (Denmark).

Group H: Juventus, Sevilla, Lyon, Dinamo Zagreb (Croatia).

"Conspiracy theories appear to have failed again."

When He Wei summed up the lottery ceremony, he commented:
"The imaginary group of death did not appear. Teams like Liverpool, Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Bayern, Juventus, and Paris have almost locked a place to qualify..."

Long Shute, who was feeling the atmosphere at the scene, couldn't help but yawned.

This must be a boring Champions League game!

At least the group stage must be very boring!
The second gear did not encounter Dortmund, Atletico Madrid, Naples, Sevilla...

The third gear didn't touch Lyon, Borussia or PSV...

Portuguese Super League runner-up Porto, Belgian champion Bruges, Danish champion Copenhagen... How much success can these three opponents allow themselves to exert?

Ian Rush, you are also a famous Liverpool star, don't you know a truth?

I, Long Ritian... have never liked to abuse food to get points!
I have done enough in the national team!

In the club, I want to bully the giants! -
After all, he has known Long Shute for more than a year, and Rogers is keenly aware of his mood.

So he asked in a low voice:
"Boring grouping, dragon?"

Long Shu nodded:
"You feel the same way?"

Rogers, who had no ambition, shook his head quickly:

"No, I just think this group is very friendly to us, and we can advance to the knockout round with the least cost."

Long Shute shook his head noncommittally:
"Oh, probably."

Rogers glanced at Marchetti, who was still talking nonsense, and several guests with different mentalities:

"I know you have no interest in opponents that are too weak, so let's let the second-tier team play in the group stage, and the main players will be rotated according to last year's rules, but this time... You should also take a good rest, by the way, the Chinese team is not There's also the World Cup qualifiers, you have to save some energy, right?"

Long Shute's eyes widened instantly:

"You are insulting me! Those opponents of the Chinese team... also need my energy?!"

Rogers quickly apologized:
"I'm sorry, I was wrong, then...the weak teams in the Champions League...will you still play?"

"Kick! I haven't played in the Champions League for two seasons, why not?!"

Long Shute replied energetically:

"Brendan, keep your eyes wide open and count the number of goals I can score this season!"

Rogers rolled his eyes:

Don't you fucking look down on these data?

If you are capable, you can go straight to the knockout stage and play again!
