Reborn Liverpool

Chapter 276 The World Cup Boom in the League

The results of the 2018 World Cup draw are announced. The whole country of Huaguo is very pragmatic, and they all aim to break the double egg. Even the most optimistic people rarely hope to qualify for the group stage.

But the coaching staff of the Hua Guo team obviously need to think more, at least in the preparation plan, they must also add the battle plan for the top 16 and even the top 8.

But the schedule after the World Cup group stage is very clear. The qualified teams in Group C will cross the knockout rounds in Group D, and the winners can enter the top 8. In Group D, there are strong teams such as Argentina and Croatia, and the road to advancement is even more slim... …

Compared with the Hua Guo team, which is full of strong players, England fans are full of hope and confidence in the British national team in this World Cup.

England are drawn in Group G with Belgium, Tunisia and Panama.The British media are very satisfied with the results of England's draw. They agreed that it is not a problem for England to qualify for the group, and even this group can be said to be too easy.

BBC reporter Chris Wardle wrote live:
"England couldn't have asked for a better draw. It's been a fantastic draw for England. Except for Belgium, who are stronger, the other opponents are beatable for England."

The Daily Mail commented:
"England avoided a nightmare World Cup draw and they will face Belgium, Tunisia and Panama." If England progress to the round of 16, their opponents will be in Group H, which includes Poland, Senegal, Colombia and Japan.

"The Post" believes that it is not a problem to advance to the quarter-finals, and has even begun to look forward to Brazil, the opponent of the quarter-finals.

The "Daily Mirror" is also very optimistic. The newspaper said that England was assigned to Group G, which is an easy group.England has always performed poorly in major competitions in the past. I don't know if the signing this time will allow the Three Lions to go further.

In an interview, Zhang Mai from 2019 talked about how optimistic he is about the youthful and energetic British team under Southgate:

"Five teams have entered the Champions League knockout round this year. What does that mean? You can think boldly forward. England may even play 5 games in Russia next year!"

……

For the Premier League players, it must be a great joy to represent their country in the World Cup, but the World Cup will be next summer after all, and the current Premier League and the leagues of various countries are still in full swing.

There are many international players in the Liverpool team. The England team has recently recruited 6 people into the team, namely Pickford, Alexander-Arnold, Maguire, Henderson, Chamberlain and Lallana.

Among the foreign players are Zhang Mai (Hua Guo Team), Salah (Egypt), Mane (Senegal), Firmino and Fabio (Brazil), Mignolet (Belgium), Lovren (Croatia) ), Grujic (Serbia), are the main players who can represent their country in the World Cup in Russia.

Only poor Van Dijk and Wijnaldum missed the World Cup in Russia as the tulip withered, and the players had to try to avoid them when discussing the World Cup in the team.

12月17日16:30，利物浦的第18轮比赛在金沙球场展开争夺，利物浦客场挑战伯恩茅斯。

Liverpool and Bournemouth have faced each other 11 times in the history of the two sides. The Red Army has 8 wins, 3 draws and no defeat.

In this round of the game, Zhang Mai and Salah take turns, and Chamberlain, Lallana, Gomez and Mignolet play in rotation.

Recently, England coach Southgate has frequently inspected players across the UK, and Klopp therefore arranged as many English players as possible to play.

Starting lineups for both sides:
Bournemouth: (4-4-2)
27-Begovic; 15-Adam Smith, 2-Francis, 5-Ake, 11-Daniels;

33-Abby, 16-Cook, 6-Sulman, 7-Pew;

17-Joshua-Kim, 18-Defoe.

Liverpool: (4-3-3)
22 - Mignolet;

12-Gomez, 3-Maguire, 17-Krawan, 26-Robertson;
21- Chamberlain, 14- Henderson, 5- Wijnaldum;
20- Lallana, 9- Firmino, 19- Mane.

The visiting team Liverpool controlled the situation throughout the game, and the Red Army finally won Bournemouth 4-0 in the away game calmly.

Throughout the game, Liverpool's English players were active, especially Chamberlain, who had a disgusting and kind face, and took nearly half of the Red Army's offensive alone.

In the 7th minute, Chamberlain made a cross and Mane's header went wide.

In the 11th minute, Chamberlain hit the right post directly with a free kick.

In the 16th minute, Chamberlain passed the ball again, and Lallana's shot in front of the penalty area missed again.

The Reds continued to press and shortly afterwards Wijnaldum fired a shot over from inside the box.

Liverpool broke the deadlock in the 20th minute. Firmino and Robertson kicked the wall and broke into the left side of the penalty area 15 yards. Low shot into the net, 1-0.

In the 23rd minute, Chamberlain passed the ball from the middle, and Lallana shot obliquely from the right side of the penalty area.

Liverpool expanded the score in the 26th minute. Firmino hooked the ball back from the bottom line in the corner kick melee. Lovren dived into the net from close range, 2-0.

In the 30th minute, the home team, which was two goals behind and had been on the defensive, quickly made personnel adjustments.

Stanislas, who had just come off the bench, made a direct pass, and Defoe made a single-handed shot from the edge of the penalty area, but the left post rebounded.

In the 44th minute, Chamberlain finally completed the assist. His pass allowed Mane to break into the right side of the penalty area and detour to the small penalty area before shooting into the far corner, 3-0.

Liverpool, which led by three goals, slowed down in the second half, and the home team Bournemouth also had several decent offensives.

In the 51st minute, Defoe made a direct pass, and Fraser's shot from the left side of the penalty area missed the near corner.

In the 59th minute, Chamberlain's prowess reappeared, and after stealing, he shot into the left side of the penalty area and unfortunately popped out of the near corner post.

In the 66th minute, Henderson made a diagonal pass from the left, and the unguarded Chamberlain rushed to the top of the penalty area and scored the net, 4-0.

Then Ince and Solanke came off the bench, Liverpool still had the advantage on the field and kept the score until the end.

Chamberlain, with one goal and one assist after the game, was named the VIP of the game, and was also selected as the best team of this round.

This round of the league is also an explosive season for English players. Manchester City's Sterling scored twice to help Blue Moon win a strong dialogue with Tottenham [-]-[-].

Manchester United's Lingard also used a goal to help the team beat West Brom [-]-[-] in the away game. On the contrary, sharp English strikers like Kane (Tottenham) and Vardy (Leicester City) are rushing The misfire caused the team to lose in the end.

Liverpool and Manchester City are still neck and neck in the league, and the league situation between the two teams before the Tianwangshan battle has undergone some subtle changes.

After Manchester City crossed Tottenham, Liverpool will have a tough collision with Arsenal in the next round. It is very difficult for the Red Army to win the Arsenal away game.

Zhang Mai was worried about next year's World Cup in the UK, and the coaching team of the Hua Guo team led by Lippi was not idle. After formulating the pre-match training and warm-up match plan, Lippi brought two Chinese assistant coaches to Europe to inspect and travel in Europe players.

Zhang Mai is still so good, but it is a pity that this round of exemption is high. The inspection team went to Germany this week to try to observe Zhang Yulin well before the winter break.

As a result, Zhang Yulin, who played for Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, really gave Lippi a huge surprise:

After 2 rounds of the Bundesliga, Zhang Yulin, the main center forward of the team, put up top statistics of [-] goals and [-] assists. Leverkusen also temporarily ranked No.[-] in the Bundesliga, just behind the southern king Bayern.

This time Lippi and the coaching staff of the Huazuo team had a solid idea, and on the way to the UK, they began to carefully plan the way for the Huaguo team to advance to the knockout round.
