624、The first tough battle

“Walk on! Through the wind!

Walk on! Through The Rain!

Though your dreams be tossed and blown,

Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart…”

——Even if you travel through the strong wind, even if you travel through the heavy rain, even if your dreams are shaky, you must continue to move forward with hope...

What an inspirational song this is, but Joshua King, who was sitting on the bench, only felt a chill.

For the Norwegian young man who was replaced during the intermission, his mood has fallen to freezing point!

He tried to challenge Red No. 8 three times in the first half, and then he didn't play any more for a full 45 minutes!

When the dragon was tangled with Joshua King like a shadow, the Norwegian even had 20 minutes to touch the ball again!

"Oh! I hope this young man won't leave a psychological shadow..."

Alan Smith, a commentator of Sky TV, said with great sympathy:

"He touched the ball in the first half... not even Long Shute's jersey number..."

Joshua King could only curl up on the visiting team's bench, and then watched the terrifying demon lead the red tide to tear Bournemouth apart bit by bit!

He saw the man in No. 8 robe flashing through the pressing of three defenders with incredible devil steps, easily pushing the ball between the goalkeeper's legs.

He also saw that the man used extremely accurate and large-scale transfers to tear Bournemouth's defense line many times, and found the red teammate who was heading in the middle of the penalty area.

He watched the red tide ruthlessly swallow the visiting team, leaving only the desperate corpse!

"Ding ding dong dong..."

There was another cheerful music playing over Anfield:

"In the 83rd minute, Liverpool scored another goal, the goalkeeper, No. 8..."

“Long!Shute!”

-

It is not something to boast about defeating a newly promoted team who has never played in the Premier League 7-0. Even if Long Shute played a senior high school in this game, he did not show too excited expressions.

Although the English media are crazy about "two games of ten goals kings coming to the Premier League" and "Liverpool has finally ushered in a savior", Long Shute still maintains the most basic calm.

Not only was he not blinded by victory and goals, he saw the huge problems that existed in the team:

This Liverpool team is... too weak.

On the offensive end, Sturrigi, who once followed Suarez to kill all sides, had less than half of his skills, and had to recover from injuries for a long time, almost becoming a rotation player. The new player Benteke has extremely single functions, and it will take a long time to form a tacit understanding with his teammates.

Coutinho, who has the ability to shoot a long shot, sometimes looks too sticky to the ball for the goal, and when shooting, he often doesn't care whether other teammates run into a good position...

Although Henderson really wants to be the second Gerald, he may only learn three successes of Gerald's offensive ability.

As for Milner... he can take a penalty or corner kick, or pass it on the wing, but if he wants him to create murderous intent with his speed and dribbling skills on the wing, he should take a shower and go to bed!

On the defense line, Moreno always has an offensive heart. Flanagan was seriously injured. Klein and Badstubert still need time to adapt. Sarco intermittently missed people. Although Lovren and Scotter were brave and tenacious, they would always drop chains at critical moments and even stab the goalkeeper in the back...

Sometimes, when Long Shute looked at the defensive generals behind him, he always had the illusion of returning to the national team...

This problem is probably impossible to solve by relying on him to retreat to the defense alone. Moreover, as the season goes to the middle and late stages, the players' attention and concentration will drop significantly, and the loopholes in defense will only become bigger and bigger. Unless Long Shute splits into four to contract the entire defense line, Liverpool's defense will definitely give him a huge surprise!

Don’t forget that even if they can build a steel back line, at the end of this line of defense... there is also a neural goalkeeper!

Long Shute is still struggling to develop the team in the long term, but Rodgers is having a big headache for the current situation.

Team captain Henderson sprained his ankle in the last period of the second round of the game. According to the team doctor's diagnosis and treatment, he would have to be injured for at least four to five weeks...

This means that this young all-round midfielder is likely to miss the next important game against Arsenal and Manchester United, and cannot even appear on the roster of the Merseyside Derby on October 4!

Long Shute was also very sorry, because according to the information provided by the system, the injury that did not seem to be serious this time was kept away from the court for more than three months, and it was not until the last league game in November that it returned to the roster...

Although Henderson still has many shortcomings as the captain of the giants, he is at least a qualified midfielder. His body, speed, strength, overall view, pass, interception, and pressing. His abilities are at least excellent, and there are no obvious shortcomings. Moreover, wearing the captain's armband, he also has a responsibility that ordinary people cannot bear. If only two midfielders can be sent in Liverpool's lineup, he must be his partner with Long Shute!

Among his substitutes, Lucas's ability to move is difficult to bear large-scale pressing, while Joe Allen is flexible and not strong enough. The tall and burly German big Han Emre Jan... He is more willing to play in an offensive frontcourt...

When he thought of these teammates, Long Shute's head couldn't help but hurt.

August 21.

Two red buses are galloping on the Liverpool highway to London.

Although Britain once had the largest territory in the world, its local territory was only as big as a face. Most of the away games of Premier League teams do not need to take a plane.

Liverpool is only 300 kilometers away from London. If you take a plane, plus go back and forth to the airport, wait for boarding, take off, landing, collect your luggage, and then transfer to the bus, it is better to take a bus in one step, which is convenient and comfortable!

"A pig!"

Emre Jan unceremoniously smashed a card on the small table board, and then arranged the other cards in his hand.

Badstuber scratched his head:

"You have made great progress in your skills in the past few years. If you return to Bayern, Captain Philip would probably not be the opponent, right?"

Long Shute beat him haha:

"I haven't played for a long time, but I didn't expect that I can't even play with you..."

Firmino looked indifferent:

"Munich's top sheep...it's really difficult..."

Four players who once played in the Bundesliga (three of them were former Bayern players) were gathering at the end of the bus and were enthusiastically sharing their experiences of the top sheep.

This is also a good way to spend time on a three-hour journey.

Except for the Bundesliga fours who talk and laugh, most of their teammates wear earplugs, and they don’t know whether they are listening to music or sleeping. Occasionally, one or two people holding a book, which is already a rare intellectual.

Lovren is chatting with his wife and children who are staying at home. Scotter is also calling his friend. Miniole is holding the tablet that the sponsor just sent, opening a drawing tool, and making a poster of his game with interest...

They arrived in London like this.

"This is your first tough battle since joining Liverpool. Do you feel any different?"

In the press hall of Emirates Stadium, a reporter couldn't wait to ask such a question.

Long Shute shrugged:

"I don't think Arsenal is a tough team, so this is not a tough battle at all."

Wenger's face turned dark not far away.

Then he heard Long Shute continue:

"I am not disrespectful to Coach Wenger. In fact, I respect him very much. He has won numerous honors at Arsenal, brought the team into the ranks of giants, and made great contributions to the sustainable development of the club. No one in the entire Premier League, or even the entire European football world can compare with him in this regard, even Mr. Ferguson, who has retired, is no exception."

Wenger's face suddenly looked much better.

This is the first player to think he is completely over the old man Fu!
Chapter completed!
