651、I will give you relief
While Long Shute was still hyping how his foundation was warming people's hearts, on October 28, Liverpool welcomed his League Cup opponent, Bournemouth, at Anfield Stadium.
For the "Cherry Legion", which is already ranked second to last, the League Cup and other things are simply insignificant.
Even if they are striving to win the final championship, should they compete in the new season of the Europa League with the joy of relegation?
Therefore, their head coach Eddie Howe simply sent a mixed lineup of U21 and U18 on the away game, and put on a stance of "let you ravage, shouting I'm going to lose."
Long Shute, who was kicked in the ankle by Mane three days ago, saw that the opponent was in a state of unimproving attitude and was very proud of his appearance. After discussing with Rodgers, he continued to send Liverpool's rotation lineup.
Of course, in order to prevent Eddie Hao from hiding his sword in his smile, Long Shute chose to sit on the bench himself. Once the situation is not good, he can immediately go on the battlefield and cut the opponent to death in Anfield in two or two seconds.
But Eddiehao proved with practical actions that they were truly true and never thought of taking even a minute in Anfield.
Origi and Badstuber each scored a goal to help Liverpool win the game without any danger. The Bournemouth players who lost the ball not only did not show too many regrets, but were relieved.
It was just 0-2, and they felt that they were so happy than other Liverpool's previous opponents!
Now... they can concentrate all their energy and go back to the league to relegation!

Because the teams participating in the League Cup are limited to 92 professional teams in four levels: Premier League, Championship, English League One and English League Two, they are not called "an unpopular hotbed" like the FA Cup, but there are still some surprising results in front of fans every year.
For example, in this round, most of the main players, Manchester United, fought fiercely with the Championship team Middlesbrough at home to a penalty kick, and was eliminated by the opponent.
The Premier League ranked second, Leicester City, which is closely following Liverpool, also lost to the Championship team "Tiger City" Hull City in the final stage of the penalty shootout. The Fox and Tiger... After all, the Tigers laughed to the last time.
The same is true for Chelsea, who lost to Stoke City in the penalty shootout stage.
Among the major Premier League giants, except for Liverpool easily advanced, only Manchester City qualifies for 5-1 after scouring Crystal Palace.
As for Arsenal... they must be the worst one!
The Gunners were not only swept out by the Championship team Xie Zhou Wednesday with a score of 0-3, but even worse... Wenger sent almost the strongest lineup he could send!
Cech, Giroud, Mertesacker, Debuch, Gibbs, Chambers, Chamberlain, Flamini, Walcott...
These stars whose value is equal to the opponent's starting lineup tell the head coach with their actual actions:
They just want to fight in the Premier League!
Events like League Cup... are not suitable for playing their artistic cells!

Because the League Cup process was unremarkable, Rogers heard all the questions he heard when he walked into the media hall:
"Why didn't Long Shute appear?"
"His injuries are serious?"
"Or physical problems?"
"Is it because he is busy with foundations and other commercial activities that he has not met the conditions for starting the show?"
"Or...you finally want to revive the head coach's mighty spirit and be ready to kill the power of this ball dominant?"
Seeing that the reporters' imagination became more and more outrageous, Rodgers quickly interrupted the question and pointed to the player representatives following behind him:
"Gentlemen, ladies, if you only care about one player who has not played, I'm going to throw the table and leave!"
It is probably extremely rare in football history that a player who sat on the bench for 90 minutes can attend a post-match press conference.
If any reporter takes out the rules set by the FA to report the complaint, I'm afraid Liverpool really has to explain...
Long Shute sat down on the chair and smiled:
"A substitute player actually came to the press conference, which disappointed everyone.
But just now I heard that many people were very concerned about my injuries, so I couldn't wait to tell everyone that I am 100% healthy now, but out of caution, the coaching team suggested that I take a short rest."
Some reporters showed disappointed expressions. It seemed that they really wanted to see news that Long Shute and General Rogers were in a row, fighting openly and secretly, and both sides suffered losses in the end...
Some people continue to raise questions:
"Just just now, at Britannia Stadium, Chelsea lost to Stoke City in the penalty shootout. Is this good news for you?"
Rogers nodded slightly:
"I don't want to hide it. After hearing this news, I was of course very happy because Chelsea is our opponent in the weekend league. They sent all their main players in this cup game, but they played a penalty shootout with the opponent. Judging from their physical condition and self-confidence, we have a better advantage than them."
But Long Shute sang a counter-tune with the head coach:
"I don't agree with you at all, Mr. Coach."
Rogers opened his mouth with a look of shock.
Boss, this script is wrong!
How can you bully me in public?
I, Brendan Rogers... are also a dignified person!
Long Shute shrugged:
"The situation at Chelsea is not optimistic now. They seem to have not won the game for a long time and are now losing to the lower-level teams. Both morale, confidence and internal atmosphere have fallen to the bottom.
I know their head coach very well. In this case, Mr. Mourinho will definitely choose the most conservative and safest tactics. Yes, what I am talking about is the bus tactics!
Chelsea will definitely park a blue bus or even an armored vehicle on the lawn of Stamford Bridge, which is definitely not good news for Liverpool, who likes to attack the attack."
Rogers's face turned green.
yes!
As Mourinho's apprentice, why didn't I expect it?
With the urination of teacher Mourinho... he will definitely welcome himself with an iron barrel array!
I was actually happy that Chelsea played 30 more minutes of overtime!
The boss is still far-sighted!

In the 2015-16 season, England's football circle had three hot topics.
The first is of course whether Liverpool can win the championship? Can Long Shute conquer the Premier League?
The second is how long can the performance of the dark horse in Leicester City in "Fox City" last?
Third, is whether Mourinho can sit down safely in his third season after returning to Chelsea...
Mourinho is definitely a natural media adsorbator, and no matter where he appears, there will be no lack of attention in that place.
This is not only because his team can achieve outstanding results, but also because his sharp and almost mean mouth can forcefully provoke a debate even if there is no topic!
But the Portuguese coach seems to have become much quieter recently. Even if the Liverpool head coach sent a text message to ask him to have a drink together after the game, he would not agree to the old days...
Where is he in the mood to eat and drink?!
As the league champion last season, Mourinho fell off the cliff in the new season!
He encountered huge challenges since the first round of the game. His conflict with the club's female team doctor broke out in full swing during the game, which triggered a big fight that the whole world is paying attention to!
Although Eva was swept out, Mourinho's prestige in the team was greatly reduced, and it was later reported that the generals in the team, led by Terry, Hazard and Costa, collectively expressed their dissatisfaction to him.
This is still a trivial matter, the key is... After 10 rounds of the league, Chelsea, the defending champion, only won 11 points and ranked 15th in the standings!
Since Mourinho took charge, the team he led has never been ranked in this position!
With the efforts of tabloids such as The Sun, the conflicts between him and his team doctor, players, the media, the FA, and the club owners have been revealed step by step in front of the public, and all the news seems to point to one thing:
The Portuguese madman's position as the coach is already shaking!
October 30.
Stamford Bridge.
Mourinho was still holding on at the press conference before the game:
“There is no problem between me and the club, and the atmosphere inside the locker room is still very good.”
But Long Shute did not leave him any face:
Chapter completed!
