Chapter 728 Plain Basic Operations

A climax is always followed by a period of relative calm.

Even Long Shute couldn't escape this rule.

After blasting Porto with 7 goals in the away game, two days after returning to the UK, at Anfield on October 10, facing a relegation team like West Bromwich Albion, Long Special scored only two goals. Ball and an assist...

So much so that the host of the BBC, Gary Lineker, sprayed wildly on his "Today's Game" program:

"What a disappointing performance! Long Shute has become arrogant now, and this mentality has obviously made him lose the sharpness he once had! Just look at how terrifying he used to be!

Four years ago, when he was still playing for Bayern Munich, in the Bundesliga game against Hoffenheim, Longshut came off the bench in the second half and scored 8 goals in 5 minutes. Every ball counts!

But now?Rodgers gave him 15 minutes of playing time, and he only scored two goals and one assist!
A real top player must be full of infinite desire for victory and scoring goals. Even if he is surrounded, he will not escape the challenge and give the ball to his teammates! "

The guest Gary Neville sitting next to him couldn't stand it.

Neville could only cough once:
"Hey, you're so dark that you have no bottom line..."

"Oh no, I call this an objective review!"

Lineker shows no shame:

"Long Shute has set a terrifying benchmark for himself with his previous performance. He even raised the standard of top superstars to an average of two or even three goals per game. If he can't reach this level, Then we can criticize him mercilessly, spur him and motivate him... This is the promise he made to the whole world before he joined AC Milan and Liverpool!"

Neville could only shake his head helplessly:

"For the sake of the ratings, you are fighting hard..."
-
Lineker was right.

When joining AC Milan in 2013, Long Shute once said this to all San Siro fans:
"If in any game, someone thinks that I didn't try my best, even if you are dissatisfied with a mistake in stopping the ball, please boo as soon as possible. And I... will make the whole San Siro no more booing!"

A similar declaration was made to the Anfield fans after he joined Liverpool.

So when someone criticizes him with the reasons of few goals, few assists, and poor scenes, he never fights back.

He just needs to score more goals, deliver more assists and control the situation more perfectly in the next game!
When the season is over, he will naturally smash the faces of those mockers with heavy championship trophies and golden personal honors! -
This substitute gave Long Shute a proper rest, so in the fourth round of the League Cup two days later, the Red Army captain, who was full of blood and demons, started again.

I want to add a word here. Since Long Shute joined Liverpool last season, from the club's top management, to coaches, players, and fans, they have vaguely felt a wave of malice from the FA and the Premier League.

Liverpool played all three domestic fronts last season but were the team with the fewest penalties awarded...

And you must know that the Red Army, which has technical players such as Long Shute, Coutinho, Sturridge, Firmino, and Lallana, will obviously be crazily violated by the opponent in every game...

In addition, Liverpool's schedule will be arranged relatively strangely:
First, almost 70% of their games, which own the entire Chinese market, are scheduled for the morning game in the afternoon.

On the surface, this arrangement is to develop the market in China and even East Asia, but for the team, playing football between 1pm and 3pm is definitely a painful torture!

Most players must have lunch and lunch break at this time, and the arrangement of the game means that they have to adjust their work and rest time, and passively adjust the body clock in the body, which is undoubtedly not an easy task.

Second, on the weekend of the Champions League, they will often arrange a strong dialogue, which puts Liverpool in a dilemma.

Fortunately, UEFA has not yet killed them all. The opponents in the group stage are too weak to distract the Red Army too much.

Third, after the national team game week, arrange a strong opponent for them - for example, just after playing the national team game, the first game back is against Manchester United...

Especially considering that the homeland of the captain of the Red Army is thousands of miles away, he is often the last player to return to the UK and the most exhausted Liverpool player. Such a compact and intense arrangement may reflect its strength at the end of the season. power.

Of course, it would be best if Long Shute collapsed on his own because he couldn't take care of both the club and the national team!

When Liverpool's four teams are empty and the Chinese team stops in the top 12, both Liverpool fans and Chinese fans will pour the most disappointing and vicious criticisms, attacks, and abuse on Long Shute's head!

Even if he really has a big heart, he will only become a waste under this overwhelming siege like a raging tide with nowhere to escape!
-
Tottenham are a strong opponent.

In a sense, they are stronger than Arsenal and Manchester United.

Under the leadership of Pochettino, Tottenham's players have not inferior to Liverpool's active running and high press, and in order to win, they will never give up various off-the-board tricks and small moves.

Of course, Tottenham with Kane, Ali, Sun Xingmin, Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Walker, Dembele, Lloris and other players should not be underestimated. These players can really shine Strength.

2个月前的8月27日，热刺在自己的球场——白鹿巷1-6惨败给了利物浦。

Two months later, on October 2, they came to the red Anfield as a guest.

They have learned from previous experience, played more cautiously, and paid more attention to the defense and restrictions of key players.

But... it doesn't help.

The score is still 1-6, Tottenham 1, Liverpool 6...

The core player who was "restricted" by them scored four goals in 90 minutes!

Well, this kind of data can probably only be regarded as mediocre and so-so.

On October 10th, in the League Cup, Liverpool swept Tottenham 25-6 at home, and Long Shute staged a big four.

On October 10th, in the 29th round of the league, Liverpool beat Crystal Palace 10-8 in an away game. Long Shute had five shots and one pass.

On November 11, in the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Liverpool, who returned home, faced Porto, who had lost their fighting spirit, and did not kill them all. They only kicked them back to Portugal 1-4, and Long Special only completed a hat-trick. , I couldn't bear to continue destroying Casillas' confidence...

11月6日，养精蓄锐5天的利物浦在主场12-1疯狂屠杀沃特福德，龙殊特用5球2传的成绩再次带走了香槟酒。

I don’t know when, when the media in England reported Liverpool’s game, there was a small change, or a pattern:
They like to use the number of "o"s in the title to indicate the number of goals Long Shute scored in this game.

For example, "Long", which means that he only scored one goal in this game.

"Loong" scored twice, "Looong" scored a hat-trick, and "Loooong" scored four goals...

For readers, this is really a clear way of expression!
what?
You ask... If Long Shute didn't score a goal, how should he express it?

How else can I express it?

If Long Ritian fails to score a goal in a certain game, it is definitely a news event worthy of extensive coverage, analysis, and madness!
The entire European football world will definitely be shocked by it!

That day...is the end of Long Ritian!
