On the afternoon of August 29.

There is a cloud over Anfield Stadium.

However, England fans have long been accustomed to such weather. Even if it is heavy snow, it will be difficult to stop their enthusiasm for cheering for the team, let alone just a little cloud?

"...The Reds Liverpool are at home and face their fourth round opponents, the Hammers are playing West Ham United."

Zhan Tianjun started introducing the competition early:

"These two teams have one thing in common, that is, they also beat Arsenal in the previous league..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Lu next to him couldn't help laughing:

"Hehe, Wenger's life is really hard!"

Zhan Tianjun also smiled:

"Looking at the confrontation record between Liverpool and West Ham United, the Reds lost to their opponents at their home court in the last match, which was 52 years ago. They have an absolute advantage in historical confrontation, with 14 wins and 5 draws and no one defeat. In addition, they have won big victories in the first three rounds, Liverpool's soldiers may also be full of confidence in their psychology."

Zhang Lu raised his glasses:

"I just looked at the starting lineup, and Long Shute seemed to be sitting on the bench?"

"That's right, he just participated in the Champions League draw ceremony and presented last season's Best Player Trophy as a guest to Messi. After flying back and forth for seven or eight hours, Rogers did not put him in the starting list, which is also more humane."

Zhan Tianjun explained:

"But today Liverpool is at his home court, and his opponent is not a traditional strong team. Even if Long Shute cannot play, it should be no big problem to win the Hammers."

Zhang Lu also smiled:

"Hehe, yes, Liverpool is very strong at home, and Anfield is one of the most famous devil's home courts in football."

-

But just two minutes later, this "most famous devil's home court in football" suddenly became a little silent.

This is just a seemingly unthreatening attack from West Ham.

At the 2nd minute and 36th, Payer dribbled the ball and advanced, and the home team's defense line retreated as a whole. The Frenchman took the ball from the right and hung it towards the penalty area, and was cleared by Scotter's header.

The football fell at the feet of the left back Cresville who followed the left. The 25-year-old player, born in Liverpool, subconsciously swung his right leg and shot, but he was not prepared enough after all, and the shot flew directly to the corner flag area on the right...

Just as the football flew towards the corner flag, his teammate Ranchini appeared halfway, just rubbed his toes lightly, and the ball was refracted and flew directly into the unguarded gate!

"In less than 3 minutes of the game, West Ham United took the lead! An offense that seemed to have no tacit understanding actually scored like this!"

Although Zhan Tianjun was unwilling to believe his eyes, the score that had just changed on the picture clearly told him that the team he supported had already lost the ball!

Zhang Lu also said "ah":

"This is football. Although we have analyzed it very well, it is still impossible to predict everything. There will always be accidents on the football field..."

-

Although Rogers, who was sitting on the coach's seat, was a little annoyed, he did not show too much dissatisfaction.

This kind of accident happens almost every day. If he was angry every time, he would have been so angry that he had failed in the championship two seasons ago...

Rodgers just waved his hand and signaled the players on the field to continue the game at the pace, and he didn't even lift his butt.

Long Shute was not worried either.

There are still 87 minutes left for Liverpool, not to mention that he can play at any time.

As long as he comes out of the game, what is a goal lost?!

-

Perhaps it was Long Shute's existence that increased the confidence of Liverpool players. After conceding the ball, they did not seem anxious to win back the score, but patiently tried to open up the situation through cooperation.

They and West Ham United are like round-based RPGs, going back and forth, going back and forth. Although the pace of both sides is not slow and shooting a lot, the game process is not exciting at all.

Until…the first 30th minute is about to end.

This is another attack from West Ham United. Liverpool defended closely in the middle. They had no chance and had to pass it a long pass to try to hang behind them.

The football flew from the middle Lions to the side, and the central defender Lovren, who predicted the landing point in advance, slapped out of the penalty area, rushed to the corner flag, controlled the landing football, and stuck the position with his strong body, squeezing Lancini, who was trying to press the snatch behind him.

This is a very successful defense. The rest only needs to pass the ball to the receiving teammate. If you really feel it is unsafe, you can kick out the sideline with one kick, give the opponent an out-of-bounds ball, or give a corner kick.

But Lovren did not do this, and he made the choice to let the head coach scold him!

He pushed the ball horizontally and began to drive the ball towards the middle along the bottom line!

No one knows what he is thinking at this moment!

Goalkeeper Miniole watched the teammate break into his defensive area from the safety zone, half of his eyes were confused and half of his fear!

Are you, Lovren, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes... a traitor?

"Don't come over! I'm going to call someone again!"

Miniole was about to yell when he saw a garlic stir under Lovren's feet!

He's gone big!

Miniolei was immediately angry to death by him!

You TMD brought two shots in total, and Rancini didn’t press close to each other... Why did he go to the big game?!

Ranchini, who was already preparing to retreat, immediately accelerated and dribbled the ball before Lovren reacted, then passed the ball in an inverted triangle in front of Miniole, and found his teammate who was also ambushed at the top of the arc of the penalty area.

Since Lovren is still in the corner flag area, Liverpool only has Miniole and Scotter left in the middle of the penalty area, and...their rhythm has long been completely disrupted by their teammates!

When Noble from West Ham United calmly kicked a low shot, Miniole could only look at the football and spread his hands - coach, this is not my fault!

-

FUXXXXXXK!

Rogers kicked the mineral water bottle in front of him!

Why do you all like to reply?!

Do you want to be angry?!

-

The score of 0-2 was brought into the locker room.

Without Rogers speaking, the players all lowered their heads.

But Rogers still has to speak:

"I doubt what some people have done in the past week. Are the players I see on the training ground every day and you are twin brothers? Why can't you even recognize your mom today?!"

The players' heads are even lower.

Rogers directly criticized:

"Phillip, this is your 100th Premier League game at Liverpool, right? Can you tell me what other performances you have besides the yellow card in the last moment?"

Coutinho grinned, revealing an extremely ugly expression.

He is actually not a player who likes to express emotions directly with voice. His personality is relatively low-key and dull, and he does not like entertainment venues like nightclubs like other Brazilian players. His personal life is more self-disciplined.

His psychological quality is actually very good. Otherwise, during his years at Liverpool, he would not have used long shots to turn the tide many times; but in other occasions where he needs to stand up, he often disappears.

"Coach, there is no need to blame everyone."

Long Shute coughed:

"Don't feel stressed. I will be with you in the second half. Let's complete this reversal!"

-

What Long Shute didn't notice was that although his statement relieved the pressure of many teammates, it also made Coutinho's expression even more unnatural.

In Suarez, Sterling left one after another, Gerald went away from America, Sturridge was ill in bed for a long time, and Henderson was useless, Coutinho was actually the core of Liverpool's offensive team, but Long Shute's arrival unceremoniously snatched this position from him.

Facing the Dragon boss who holds three golden balls and is backed by Chinese capital, Coutinho couldn't even make a complaint.

He was not dissatisfied with this matter, but he would inevitably accumulate some complaints in his heart.

After all, most people desire to become the leader of their team when they are young.

Long Shute's existence brought him pressure and motivation.

So, Coutinho in the second half became more active.

He naturally strives for the first place when attacking, and even in defense that he is not good at, he has no reservations. He even retreats to the front of the penalty area to act as a midfielder, just like Long Shute usually does...

But he might have forgotten that he does not have the physical fitness of Long Shute, nor does he have the rich defensive experience of Long Shute.

So, when Paye made a cool Marseille whirlpool in front of him in the 58th minute, Coutinho, who was eager to make contributions, directly overturned the opponent to the ground with a sliding tackle!

"drop!"

A sharp whistle echoed over Anfield.

The referee quickly walked to Coutinho and showed his second yellow card without hesitation!

Two yellows turn red!

Long Shute, who was warming up on the sidelines, couldn't help but stay where he was.

Rogers kicked the second bottle of mineral water away!

I just know... This world is not so naive and friendly!

God... I will never smile at you continuously!

My name is...Marco Joseph Masimiliano Rogers.

Van Basten, Heinx and Allegri were possessed at this moment!
