Chapter 17: Go all your best (first update, please give me a monthly ticket!)

ps, then what... Today is the fifth update! The fifth update!! Please ***!

※ ※ ※

No matter how the media hype this matter, the competition has arrived as scheduled.

At the famous Helong Stadium in Changsha, the Chinese team welcomed Liverpool as the home team.

Chen Yingxiong didn't want to give face to the Football Association, but he found that there were people who were also unwilling to give face to the Football Association, that is, the team's head coach Daglish.

Before the game started, the "King" said murderously in the locker room: "I will tell you this now, and I hope you won't tell others..." He used this as his opening remark because he was afraid that the players would say this and let the Chinese media know it, which would inevitably cause some disputes.

"In the last game, you won the opponent 4:3. To be honest, do you feel very satisfied?"

A group of people looked at each other, a little confused about what the boss meant. Isn’t it just a business competition? Everyone thinks it’s here for vacation, so what else is there to be satisfied with it?

"It seems that you don't understand, so I will tell you honestly that the domestic reaction in this game is not very beneficial to us... You must remember that we are not coming to China to make money! Making money is the job of the marketing department. We are here to play games, warm up, and find the state for the new season! Whether it is an old player or a new player, everyone must work hard to show themselves. Your performance in the warm-up match will be an important reference for your playing time in the new season!"

This was very serious. When he said this, everyone's expression became serious. His smile had disappeared before.

In fact, he doesn't need to say anything more. When it comes to this, everyone understands that the boss is very dissatisfied with their performance in the last game, especially in defense. To put it, he almost got tied to a Chinese team...

It seems that everyone has to do their best in this game.

There is nothing we can do if we don't do our best, England is watching...

Besides, although it was a commercial competition, their performance was too poor, and they felt their faces were dull. But they didn’t realize it before, and now everyone knows it when the head coach mentioned it.

At a press conference the day before the game, a reporter asked Gao Hongbo: "What is the guiding ideology of the Chinese team in this game?"

At that time, Gao Hongbo answered very low-key: "We are here to learn from one of the most successful teams in European football..."

But in the locker room before the game, he was not humble at all.

"We must show the momentum of the Chinese team. We must dare to fight and rob."

Someone raised his hand and asked, it was Yang Hao, the team's midfielder: "Gao Jing, what should they do if they get hurt if they get too fierce?"

Many people nodded.

This is their biggest concern. If the tone of this game is you, I, everyone, it would be fine.

But now, following the head coach, this means... it is to compete with Liverpool for bayonets!

Then the situation is different. They are wealthy families and big-name stars. If they hurt them, they may not be pleasing to the point, right?

Five years ago, Zhang Wei broke Cice's leg in a warm-up match with France before the World Cup, and this matter was quite unpleasant. The game that was originally a friendly exchange turned out to be such a result...

Gao Hongbo shook his head: "This is a football game, and victory is the only result we pursue. As long as it is not intentional foul, don't just focus on other people's ankles and knees, just make you harder when defending, and don't shrink your hands just because there are big-name players on the other side. In the past two years, you will still play in the warm-up matches this time."

This is his last warm-up match for coaching the Chinese team, and he naturally hopes to get a good ending.

Chen Guofeng met Chen Yingxiong again.

After finishing the game with Evergrande, he came to the national team to report again, participated in the training camp, and prepared for the game with Laos on the 28th.

This time, he and Chen Yingxiong both started.

"Liverpool sent out all the starting lineups in the first half! It can be seen that Daglish attaches great importance to this game!" The commentator's voice was a little excited.

The commentator on CCTV's side in this game was Liu Jianhong again. He really didn't expect to meet Chen Yingxiong again so soon. At that time, he thought that the last round of Serie A was his last commentary on Heroes.

The fans at the scene were very excited when they saw Liverpool sending out all the main lineups, and the cheers in the stands never stopped.

Especially when Chen Yingxiong started again, the fans were very happy.

The Chinese team is also the main players.

Since Kamacho had to inspect the Chinese team players in this game, Gao Hongbo naturally had to give all the main players, so that Kamacho could see clearly. He could not mix the main substitutes, so as not to avoid Kamacho not being able to see clearly and put the substitutes in the main players.

However, no one thinks that both sides have to do their best to do their best. Liverpool are both big-name stars, and they are so delicate and can't afford to be injured. The Chinese team can't afford to be injured. They will soon be in the game against Laos. Although Laos is not a strong enemy, no one wants to be absent due to injury. Who knows how long it takes to rest if you suffer an injury...

Judging from media reports before the game, the atmosphere of this game was also very peaceful. The head coaches of both sides said that this was a friendly match. Gao Hongbo also said that he wanted to learn from Liverpool... I don't know if he is sarcasticating Liverpool. You should know that in recent years, Liverpool has been at a low point. Not to mention a champion, I can't even participate in the Champions League. What should such a team learn?

But from the first minute of the game, everyone felt different...

※ ※ ※

"Liverpool's offensive is very strong..."

Five minutes later, Liu Jianhong also realized that without temptation, Liverpool started the game at his own pace.

Anyway, they kick the ball first, so they can take the initiative into their own hands.

There is no test this time. In fact, when playing against Evergrande, Liverpool's test is just out of habit. With the strength gap between the two sides, if Liverpool takes it seriously, there is no need to test it. Just play according to its own game style. A strong person will naturally become the leader and lead the weak person's nose.

This is how this game is. Although the Chinese team is a national team, the strength of the national team is not necessarily stronger than that of the club. For example, the Brazilian national team cannot win Barcelona even if they are in the tenth.

In the last game, when the head coach frequently substitutions, the result was that everyone could not cooperate. On the other hand, Liverpool actually looked down on it, especially after leading 4:1, he felt that the game was over and Evergrande would never be able to turn the tables.

As a result, Evergrande almost turned the market over.

It's different now. Head coach Daglish specifically reminded the players not to underestimate the enemy before the game, and to do their best. The main players are playing. Except for Gerald and Suarez, they are basically the main team in the second half of last season.

Just Yingxiong Chen and Charlie Adam are newcomers.

We all played for a season together and were very familiar with each other. We didn’t need to say anything to play the Chinese team, we just knew what to do - just play according to our style.

Liverpool's style of play is very simple, with more long passes, and Daglish's tactical thinking is relatively conservative and tends toward traditional English football.

However, this is exactly what Chen Yingxiong likes. Football always flies around the air, and he says there is no pressure.

"It seems that you can see Chen Yingxiong's heading skills in this game!" A fan in the stands said excitedly.

※ ※ ※

The Chinese team's starting center backs in this game are Du Zexing and Feng Tangming, and these two are the main central defenders of the Chinese national team.

However, both of them seemed powerless in front of Chen Yingxiong.

Feng Tangming's height is unable to compare with Chen Yingxiong, while Du Zexing is the closest person to Chen Yingxiong, but his body is not as strong as Chen Yingxiong.

He once competed with Chen Yingxiong for the top, and the two of them jumped at the same time. Du Zexing even had a little advantage in his position. As a result, when both of them jumped up, Chen Yingxiong used his physical advantages to squeeze out Du Zexing in the air, grabbed the landing point, and formed a header. The football eventually flew out against the post, which made many people happy for nothing, and of course, some people were scared into a cold sweat.

Du Zexing shook his head at Feng Tangming, meaning that he could not compete with that boy, his body was too strong!

Liverpool's tactic of high-altitude balls worked quickly.

In the 20th minute, Chen Yingxiong headed the ball. This time he accurately hit the goal frame range, forcing goalkeeper Yang Zhi to make a very difficult save.

This save was wonderful, but it also made Yang Zhi lose all the center of gravity. After falling from it, he was unable to get up and make a second save.

Bellamy, who kept up, swept the ball into the empty goal with one kick, and Liverpool took the lead!

There was a burst of cheers in the stands, but this time there were not many people cheering at Tianhe Stadium. After all, the teams in their own country were behind, which was not a good thing. Even if it was a warm-up match or a commercial match, Chinese fans still hoped that the national team would perform well.

If you fall behind, you may lose. Who would like to see the team you support lose?

This is different from the situation in Guangzhou. Evergrande is the home team that Guangzhou locals need to support, but not for most other people, so Evergrande wins or loses, and few people care about it. The Chinese team is different, and it also involves a "patriotic complex".

※ ※ ※

When Bellamy scored, Chen Yingxiong heard the cheers that were not loud, and he knew that this time the home team was really the Chinese team, not their Liverpool. Even if he was in the Liverpool team, he could not reverse the situation. Perhaps the cheers would be louder after he scored the goal, but it would not be much bigger.

Sure enough, Chinese fans may not necessarily hope that the Chinese team will lose...

However, today's game, the Chinese team must lose, and they will be defeated!

PS, a friendly advertisement:

Yesterday, a reader of mine found me and said that he wrote a football novel at Qidian, but the recommendation collection was very bleak. The reason was because he started in China. I hope I would recommend it to him so that he could have some popularity.

I went to take a look, because of time, I only read more than a dozen chapters. The writing style is very interesting. As far as my shallow life experience is concerned, what I wrote is true. However, as he said, starting in China, I still teach a group of children under the age of fourteen...

This story is really not pleasing.

It is normal for poor grades, so I told him what I think.

I promised to recommend some to him so that more people can read it. If he was not for making money, I hope he could persist in writing it. After all, there are not many starting points for this type of competitive novel.

It can be seen from the article that he is a person with ideas and persistence, so in order not to disappoint such a person who insists on writing for his dreams, I still hope that everyone can collect, check it out, and vote.

Even if it is encouragement to him.
