Green Dragon

Chapter 733 Captain Dragon's Poster Designer

The time finally came to the year before Long Shute traveled, 2017.

Compared with the memory in history, the reality does not seem to have changed much.

The earth is not destroyed, and there is no peace in the world, but the football world is more or less different because of his existence.

On January 1, when Liverpool fans turned on the TV and were about to appreciate another big victory, they were so shocked by the score on the screen that they were speechless.

The game has progressed to the 58th minute, but such a score made them doubt their eyes:

Sunderland 2, Liverpool 0!
-
"The Red Army's 19-game winning streak this season may come to an end here..."

Sky TV commentator Alan Smith shrugged:

"Who brought them up to Sunderland who was called 'The Black Cat'? It's not a very festive nickname."

His partner Martin Taylor shook his head slightly:
"Liverpool's recent schedule is too dense. After playing Manchester City, they only rested for 30 hours and had to drive to Sunderland. Rodgers had to make a lot of rotations. I can only sit on the bench and watch my teammates helplessly being trampled on the turf by the black cat..."
-
Although the game against Manchester City was a complete victory, it is definitely not possible to get three points with your eyes closed.

Although Liverpool's vitality will not be seriously injured, most of the main players cannot adjust to the best condition within 30 hours, so this game is handed over to the substitutes and the youth team.

I originally thought that with Liverpool's hot state this season, even if they sent U21s, Sunderland should be stepped on casually, but I didn't expect the cunning black cat to take advantage of the mentality of the substitute players to underestimate the enemy and rush forward. A sharp counterattack pierced through the goal guarded by substitute goalkeeper Bogdan!
"How to do how to do?"

Rogers muttered:
"My fame will be ruined by mere Sunderland?"

Then he heard another voice:
"Brendan, change!"
-
"Oh, Rodgers finally couldn't sit still. He made a personnel adjustment in the 65th minute...Long Shute stood in the substitute area without any surprise. Be careful, Sunderland!"

Alan Smith had the expected expression.

Martin Taylor glanced at the sidelines:
"Behind him... is the first goalkeeper Mignolet. It can be seen that Rodgers is not very satisfied with Bogdan's mediocrity, but in the case of two goals behind, shouldn't more Concentrated firepower in the frontcourt? Uh..."

His voice was suddenly dragged on for a long time, and then suddenly broke out:

"Rogers... is it crazy?!"
-
When he saw Mignolet standing on the sidelines, Bogdan's heart immediately turned cold.

I did lose two goals, but... I can't blame it!
The opponent's two fast horses rushed forward at the same time. What can I do? !

Even if Buffon, Casey, Neuer, and De Gea are all possessed, I can't stop them, right? !

MD!

This guy, Mignolet, relied on his proficiency in using various drawing software to make posters. Before and after each game, he drew Long Shute as mighty, majestic and domineering as a god descending from the earth, so he has a close relationship with the dragon boss , otherwise... With his three-legged cat level, how could he occupy the position of Liverpool's main goalkeeper?

Captain Long, you can't kiss the villain and Yuan Xianchen like this!
If things go on like this, the country will not be a country!

Faint king!Faint Lord!

Bogdan slandered, took off his gloves, shook his head and walked out of bounds.

Although he was very dissatisfied, there was nothing he could do.

He even had to force himself to smile, not to let the camera capture the jealousy and dissatisfaction on his face, otherwise... the boss Long who values ​​the unity of the locker room will definitely clean him out the next day!

"Hey Adam, what are you doing here?!"

Before he could go out of bounds, the trainee coach Steven Gerrard standing on the sidelines called him:

"Go back! Go back to the door!"

Bogdan looked up blankly, but saw that Mignolet had already stepped onto the field!

Long Shute replaced the veteran Lucas, and Mignolet replaced...forward Origi? !

What the hell is this? !
Goalkeeper for striker? !
-
"Uh……"

At this moment, almost all the narrators' brains were close to death.

Even Zhan Tianjun, who has always been praised for his quick response and rich knowledge, was a little stuck:

"This... Mignolet really stood in the forward position? Such a substitution is too weird!"

Zhang Lu frowned and thought hard:

"Rodgers is not a bold head coach, and... even if he wants to do this, others will definitely persuade him?"
-
"If I lose this game, I will definitely become the biggest joke in European football!"

Rogers sat down, chewing the gum in his mouth unwillingly.

Of course, such absurd substitutions couldn't have been done by him, it was all done by the No. 95 captain!
Assistant coach Mike Marsh comforted him:
"Our substitute lineup does not have a suitable striker. This is also a helpless choice. Just trust Long's decision!"

Position coach Chris Davis also expressed support for the Dragons:
"Simon (Menny) has a good jumping ability, maybe he can become a surprise soldier!"

Seeing that the two assistants had "betrayed" him, Rogers was so angry that he kicked over the mineral water bottle:

"Raiders, surprise soldiers! Watch out for his hot blood, and perform a hand of God in Sunderland's restricted area!"
-
"Simon, are you serious?"

Sturridge looked at the 1.9-meter-three Mignolet standing in front of him, shock written all over his dark face:
"We have never practiced this kind of change tactics!"

"But... I have practiced!"

Mignolet pointed to himself, his fair face was full of complacency:

"Are you surprised? Are you surprised? From now on, you won't even have a position as a substitute striker!"
-
Mignolet didn't lie, he really practiced headers, and he was with Long Shute.

Although after the serious injury, except for the first period of time, Long Shute has rarely trained himself as crazy as when he first debuted, but this definitely does not mean that he is only satisfied with daily training.

No more crazy extra training, it just means... His extra training volume has been reduced from 3 times to 2 times.

Well, after all, at 26 years and 7 months, he is no longer a teenager...

What's more, the Emma brand juicer who returned to England has been in a hot state recently, and if he gives himself three times the amount of training, then he will only have a dead end!

Now that the amount of training has been reduced, Long Shute regards shooting as his main training item, and Mignolet is the most active training object.

During his one-and-a-half-year sparring career, Belgium’s No. 2015 goalkeeper has already changed from a skeptical life at the beginning to a cheerful and optimistic one today. The voices of the defenders have increased a lot, and they have become confident and courageous.

During his free time as a sparring partner, he also took the opportunity to practice with Long Shute on the cooperation of cross headers, and lived a striker's dream - after all, most players still aspired to be a striker who can destroy the city when they were young...

Now, under various chances and coincidences, his dream is suddenly about to come true.

Thinking about it, I was really a little excited! -
Long Shute definitely did not intend to train Mignolet to be a striker.

It’s just that Benteke, who fought for 90 minutes in the last game, was recuperating at home due to muscle discomfort. Firmino is the type who can fight hand-to-hand with defenders. Although Origi has a black and hard body, he doesn’t have a center. Heart, often unconsciously pulled to the sidewalk...

After pulling out the general, Mignolet was pushed onto the battlefield in this way.

Anyway... Even if he has no effect, Long Shute is confident that he can solve the battle by himself!
-
Opportunity awaits those who are prepared.

A guy like Mignolet who doesn't play forward at all and just occasionally practiced two uncontested headers got lost in Sunderland's defense soon after he came on the field.

He doesn't know how to move, let alone how to cooperate with Sturridge, Lallana and others.

And just as Rodgers worried, when Milner finally passed the ball to him from the left, he even stretched out his hands subconsciously, preparing for a beautiful sideways pounce...

Fortunately, Milner's pass flew directly into the stands, so that Mignolet would not become the laughing stock of the world!
After this "performance", Sunderland's defenders obviously relaxed their defense on him, and instead focused more on Long Shute.

But... what's the use?
Long Shute scored a hat-trick within 10 minutes after he came on the field. Even if Sunderland put up an iron bucket formation, how could it really block his ultra-long-range shot of more than 40 meters? !
"Mignolet...is just a pawn he uses to confuse the opponent's sight!"

When Long Shute scored his fourth goal in the 81st minute and rewritten the score to 4-2, the head coach of Sunderland suddenly realized.

But what can he do?
Mignolet is so big and tall standing on the back line, can he let the defenders avoid him? ! -
"drop!"

In the 85th minute, Sturridge's shot was blocked by the Black Cat defender and Liverpool won a corner kick.

Milner, who was about to take the penalty, was stopped by Long Shute:

"James, this time I will punish you."

When Long Shute was standing in the corner, Sunderland goalkeeper Mannone felt his little heart was about to jump out.

Liverpool's captain personally took the corner kick, this opportunity is not too many!
But everyone knows that this guy... has kicked corner kicks straight into the goal three times!
How should the line of defense be arranged?

Mannone felt restless for a while. He could only let the tallest teammate block the position of the back post to prevent Long Shute from repeating his old tricks.

"Oh!"

Long Shute's inner instep hit the ball, and the black and white ball spun and flew high.

Mannone's eyes were fixed on the target without blinking, and his brain was running at high speed.

The inside of the instep, the rotation of the ball, and the flight path of the ball should not change too strangely...but that's just what it should be...

He just breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to seal off his city, when he saw a white figure jumping high above the small restricted area line!

Number 22!
Simon... Mignolet!
The tallest defender has been transferred to the back post by Mannone, and the 193 Mignolet has no opponent in terms of height!
He shook his head violently in response to Long Shute's pass!

"Shh!"

Bogdan knelt down in front of the goal 100 meters away!

Oh my god!
Long live!
Mignolet... he he he... he scored a header!
coach!

I also want to learn PS technology!
