699, Heroes and Villains

"The dragon god is coming!"

This was one of the many headlines in the aftermath of the game, but it was definitely not the most exaggerated.

For example, "From now on, my surname is Long, and Long Shute is my father!" ”

"I just wanted to eat an orange, but Daddy Long contracted me an orange mountain!"

Such a title would surely only circulate in a few forums......

Although the match between the Maldives and China team is definitely not as much attention as the world's biggest games such as England, Brazil, Germany and Argentina, the 17 goals scored by Longshute in a single game still set off a wave of discussion in world football.

"Maldives...... Isn't it a resort island with a football team in this kind of place? ”

"The last time I went on vacation, I saw the goalkeeper, he was driving a truck!"

"That winger seems to be a docker!"

"That back waist is a bath master!"

"I really envy Longshut, you can score goals in this kind of team, and our president Luo has to face the challenge of the whole Europe, and the difficulty of the two is simply worlds apart......"

"Don't talk nonsense, Europe also has Gibraltar, San Marino, Liechtenstein such soft persimmons, okay? I'm the king of plum balls, there are a total of 10 teams in South America, and each of them is a hard bone! What is the high-altitude devil away from home with more than 4,000 meters, and there is a lack of oxygen before you start playing! ”

……

He scored 17 goals after coming off the bench for 25 minutes, and after deducting the time to celebrate and re-line the kick-off, Lonshit was able to score a goal roughly every 40 seconds.

If there's one thing that's going to be wrong, it's ...... He didn't make a single pass in those 25 minutes!

He has only four movements:

Receiving, dribbling, dribbling, shooting.

He doesn't even need to be overcome, because the amateur players in the Maldives have already been dragged down by the professional players of the Chinese team!

Those national football players with an annual salary of hundreds, or even tens of millions, at least beat their opponents in terms of physical fitness!

In 25 minutes, 19 shots on goal converted into 17 goals, and Ronshute's forehead didn't even have time to sweat!

-

After the game, Long Shute, who had recovered from the humanoid self-propelled rocket launcher mode, suddenly felt that he was a little sorry for those teammates.

Especially Jiang Ning, who originally scored a hat trick in history, not only did not continue to score in the second half, but was completely overshadowed by his own brilliance......

For the first time, he thought he might ...... It's a bit too lonely.

But what does it matter?

-

While 99.99% of the people are frantically praising the miracles of Longshut, there will also be 0.01% of people who make discordant noises.

For example, there is a voice that is particularly harsh:

"Even if he doesn't return to the national team, won't the Chinese team win against the Maldives?"

"In order to show his heroism for the country and the people, he doesn't care about the interests of the club that pays him every day, even if such a person finally helps the Chinese team enter the World Cup, he is a hypocritical villain!"

"Look at those Liverpool fans, how can you bear to abandon them?!"

……

These voices are not unfounded.

Just three days before the massacre of the Maldives by Lonshit, Liverpool also faced their 31st round of league opponents – they travelled to Southampton to challenge their dear countrymen.

Since many players need to participate in the World Preliminary Tournament like Lonjut, especially South American players such as Coutinho and Firmino, Rodgers sent a semi-main squad dominated by European players.

In the 17th and 22nd minutes, Philippe Coutinho and Sturridge scored in the space of five minutes to give Liverpool a 2-0 lead on the road.

The next game is still in Liverpool's control, and if it weren't for the opposing goalkeeper Foster's bravery, the Saints would have been down 4-0 at the end of the first half.

At the start of the second half, Southampton were awarded a penalty immediately, but Mane's shot from the team's thigh was saved by Mignolet, and the home team's newly-ignited hopes were ruthlessly extinguished by their opponents again.

After the 60th minute, Rodgers replaced Coutinho and Lovren one after another, allowing the two main players to get a proper rest.

And then...... All of a sudden, they collapsed!

From the 65th minute, Southampton's offensive suddenly became extremely sharp, Pelle twice assisted Mane to break the goal guarded by Mignolet, and scored a goal himself, and in the 84th minute, the score has changed from 0-2 to 3-2!

For a season, Rodgers has long been spoiled by the omnipotent Long Shut, he is used to putting the dragon boss on the court, which naturally means three points and a win, so that when the team is reversed, he can't react at all!

He replaced Origi and used Benteke, Origi, and Sturridge to attack for 6 minutes, but still couldn't equalize!

Liverpool lost 3-2 to Southampton, while their title rivals Leicester City won 1-0 away at Crystal Palace, and with two games to play, Liverpool, who had led the Premier League table for most of the season, were reduced to three points by the Foxes!

Yes, Liverpool have two games to play, and theoretically they still have the initiative in the title race, but given that they will face city rivals Everton and revenge-hungry Blues Chelsea, it will still be difficult to win comfortably against them.

After all, as long as the points have not been received, there will always be the possibility of capsizing in the gutter, and this kind of drama that sees a glimmer of hope and ends up making people even more desperate has been experienced by Liverpool fans two or three times a few years ago......

With nine league games left for Liverpool and seven for Leicester, no one can predict what will happen during these two months.

Ronshette sent a text message to Rogers:

"Brendan, you've made it easy for me to be ...... I'm the big guy in the team, and I'm going to be relegated if the team leaves...... That's the kind of thing you think! ”

Rogers replied to him within a minute:

"Isn't the Chinese team game over? Get the hell out of here! ”

Long Shute reluctantly explained again:

"I wonder if your memory has been damaged in any way, I told you I had two games this Monday!"

-

In addition to a few text messages between the manager and the captain, Southampton's reversal of Liverpool had another consequence:

Rogers was even more determined to continue buying from his fellow countrymen.

Sadio Mane, who scored twice in two league games and one Carabao Cup, is undoubtedly the number one on the list of signings, while Pelle, Wanyama, Van Dijk and even goalkeeper Forster have all been recorded in Rodgers' little book.

A scout from Liverpool FC lives directly around the Saints' training base, and has to observe the state of these players every day, and report to the manager in a timely manner, and by the way, make initial contact with them, and ask them if they are willing to join Liverpool......

Although it's only March, there is absolutely no way for Liverpool, as a club, to wait until the summer transfer window officially opens after June to start bringing in reinforcements, otherwise those hundreds of staff will only need to work four months a year to rest......

Once again, the big red hand reached for their most familiar opponent in recent years, Southampton.

This time, they decided, in addition to a stitch and a thread, to empty the villager's house directly!

Anyway...... Liverpool doesn't seem to be short of money now!

- What? If Southampton are so strong, why doesn't Rodgers just coach his fellow countrymen?

You...... That makes sense!
