Green Dragon

Chapter 723

"20 goals in 8 minutes? Longevity!"

After Ronaldo, who was far away in Portugal, saw the news, he couldn't help but closed his eyes in despair.

He had just staged the first big four in his national team career in the world preliminaries between Portugal and Andorra, and also brought the national team their first victory in the world preliminaries. He thought he was invincible, but was defeated by the dragon. Shute poured a basin of cold water on his head and made his whole body icy cold!
In the freshly released FIFA rankings in early October, Andorra ranked 10th, and Thailand ranked 125th... probably there is no essential difference.

I'm really envious. After reaching the top 12 in the Asian region, I can still meet a super soft persimmon like Thailand!

Check out our next Portuguese opponent!

Denmark's Faroe Islands ranked 74th on FIFA!
This is a football powerhouse with a population of 9000!
Don't look down on them, with less than 5 people, they can be at the same level as China's 15 billion in world football!
Even in most of the time period, the football rankings of this archipelago... has been blowing out the Chinese team!
——At this time, the Chinese team is only ranked 84th...

Just ask if you are afraid? !

Three days later, Ronaldo led Portugal to a 7-0 bloodbath against the 74th-ranked Faroe Islands, but he was not happy at all.

Facing an opponent whose strength was obviously inferior to his own, the captain of the newly champion of the European Cup only scored two goals!

His limelight was even completely overshadowed by the 21-year-old Andre Silva who performed a hat-trick!
Scoring 6 goals in two official national team matches, Ronaldo would definitely be satisfied if it was placed in the past.

But when he glanced at the Asian news thousands of miles away, he could only regret that he played too selflessly!

MMP!The No. 8 captain of the Chinese team... staged a big four in the capital of Uzbekistan! -
Tashkent in October is the most comfortable season. The temperature in the afternoon reaches around 10 degrees. Playing football for 18 minutes under the sun is still a small enjoyment for professional players.

Uzbekistan is so strong that they are even ahead of Japan in this month's FIFA rankings and are fourth in Asia behind Iran, Australia and South Korea with a 48th place.

Facing the 84th place Chinese team, Uzbekistan actually underestimated the enemy slightly.

Of course they know how strong Long Shute is, but this doesn't affect their pride in front of other Chinese players.

Facts have also proved that Uzbekistan is indeed qualified to do so. They scored two consecutive goals in the first half, which made the Chinese team fall into a bitter battle in this "Stone City".

But that's all. Before they scored two goals, the No. 8 captain of the Chinese team had already completed a hat-trick. As the game entered the second half, the Chinese team, which was fully defending, did not allow "Wuji" to find a chance to score.

Long Shute again delivered a pass and a shot in the last 20 minutes, fixing the final score at 5-2, and won the fourth victory for the Chinese team in the top 12 match.

With four wins and four victories, the Chinese team firmly occupied the top spot in the standings with 12 points, which also made the 14 billion people in the country happy.

Domestic media even asserted:

"The Chinese team has 100% entered the finals of the 2018 World Cup!"

They took out the spirit of studying the elementary school Olympiad, and analyzed the qualifying situation of the Chinese team for readers:
Now it is 12 points, and Thailand still needs to send 3 points, which is already 15 points. In the other 5 games, they can get 3 points casually, and get 18 points. They will definitely qualify!
5 points in 3 games... Isn't it 100%?
-
After playing Uzbekistan, Long Shute did not return to Liverpool directly, but discussed some next arrangements with Vice Chairman Zhang Jian, who accompanied the team to Tashkent, the next morning.

For example, the final determination of the next three home games.

Although Long Shute has the power to operate, the final decision is still made by the leaders of the Football Association. They have too many things to consider, so they need to communicate in advance if they need to discuss.

After finishing his lunch, Long Shute boarded his private plane and rumbled into the blue sky of Tashkent.

There is not much time left for him to rest.
-
"It's nice to have most of the guys back in time, with few injuries, which is a good thing for us, but we don't have an easy schedule ahead of us."

In the training session on the afternoon of October 10, Rogers said this.

Assistant coach Mike Marsh posted an upcoming schedule on the wall:

"Boys, cheer up! On the 17th, Manchester United at home; on the 20th, Porto away; on the 23rd, West Brom at home; on the 25th, Tottenham at home; on the 29th, Crystal Palace away; three days later, Porto at home... The schedule is getting more and more intensive, there will be a game every three days, and the coaching team will arrange the rotation, but we all hope that everyone will maintain their physical condition and be able to play at any time..."

It may be a little difficult to cope with such a schedule with the strength of Liverpool in history, but as Long Shute brought in Salah, Van Dijk, Gerrard who was 120% of the peak, and a [-]% By themselves, they can fully cope with multi-line operations.

Therefore, even though the coaches have repeatedly emphasized so seriously, most players are not too worried.

Because...they have Captain Dragon!
"Now look at Manchester United."

Technical coach Greg Mathison got to work:
"Mourinho became the manager of Manchester United, so the style of this team has become known, yes, I mean, they are very defensive.

There is no doubt that the first thing they do when they enter Anfield is to place two buses in their penalty area. Our forwards will definitely find that it is absolutely extremely difficult to move freely in Manchester United's defense things.

As of the 7th round, Manchester United is only ranked seventh, their defense is the best in the Premier League, but their offense is the worst in the top ten, but... as Brendan said in the meeting In that way, facing an opponent like Manchester United, you must not think that they will not score.They have Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Pogba, Rooney, Mata, Martial in their lineup, if we relax, they teach us in a second.

The good news is that Mourinho brought a lot of new players in the summer transfer window, so they are still in the running-in stage, whether it is forwards, midfielders, or defenders, they are not at their best with each other. The level of tacit understanding, plus their recent injuries, so as long as we are more active on the court, we will definitely find a lot of flaws..."

After Matheson finished his analysis, Rogers made a finishing touch:

"Ninety-nine per cent of teams are afraid of dense defenses, especially under Mourinho, but we are not one of the teams that are afraid, because we have countless weapons that can destroy the enemy. For example... our dragon The captain has developed a long-range missile with a range of more than 99 meters, and he can even smash a corner kick directly into the goal!"

There was a burst of relaxed laughter in the conference room, and the expressions of most players were indeed quite relaxed.

After such a strong season, they have no reason to fear anyone.

Manchester United?Mourinho?
What's the matter?
Last season's magic bird... Wasn't it because he was slaughtered by us that he left get out of class sadly?
Take the bus?
Welcome!
