"Dragon God is coming!"

This is one of the many news titles after the competition, but it is definitely not the most exaggerated one.

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

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

Such a title can only be circulated in some forums...

Although the match between the Maldives and the Chinese team is definitely not as focused as the matches of the world's top players such as England, Brazil, Germany, and Argentina, Longshute's 17 goals in a single game still set off a wave of discussion in the world football world.

"Isn't the Maldives... a resort island? There are football teams in this kind of place?"

"I met the goalkeeper when I went on vacation last time, and he drove the truck!"

"That winger seems to be a dock worker!"

"That back waist is the bath scrubber!"

"TMD really envys Long's specialty. If you can score goals on such a team, we President Luo will have to face challenges across Europe. The difficulty of the two is a huge difference..."

"Stop talking nonsense. Europe also has soft persimmons like Gibraltar, San Marino, and Liechtenstein? I am the best player in the football world. There are 10 teams in South America, each of which is hard! What other high-altitude devils are out of the way, which is not oxygen before they start playing!"

...

The substitute played for 25 minutes and scored 17 goals. After deducting the time of celebration and re-queuing to kick off, Long Shute scored one goal every 40 seconds.

If you have to find out any problem, it is... he did not complete a pass in these 25 minutes!

He only has four moves:

Receive, dribble, pass by, shoot.

He doesn't even need to be out of the way, because the amateur players in the Maldives have long been dragged down by professional players in the Chinese team and have been physically collapsed!

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

In 25 minutes, he shot 19 times, and converted into 17 goals, but Long Shute's forehead didn't even have time to sweat!

-

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

Especially Jiang Ning, who originally played a hat trick in history, not only did not continue to score goals in the second half, but was completely covered by his own light...

For the first time, he felt that he might...be really a bit too unique.

But, what does that matter?

-

When 99.99% of people are crazy about praising the unique miracle of dragons, 0.01% of people will make disharmonious sounds.

For example, there is a sound that looks particularly harsh:

"Even if he doesn't return to the national team, can't the Chinese team beat the Maldives?"

"In order to show his heroic spirit of serving the country and the people, no matter how much the club paid him every day, such a person will be a hypocritical villain even if he eventually helps the Chinese team enter the World Cup!"

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

...

These sounds are not groundless.

Just three days before Longshute massacred the Maldives, Liverpool also welcomed their 31st round of league opponents - they went to Southampton to challenge their dear fellow villagers who had a deep connection with them.

Since many players, like Long Shute, need to participate in the World Cup qualifiers, especially South American players such as Coutinho and Firmino, Rodgers sent a semi-main lineup mainly composed of European players.

From the 17th to the 22nd minute, Coutinho and Sturridge scored goals in 5 minutes, and Liverpool took a 2-0 lead away.

The next game is still under the control of Liverpool. If it weren't for the opponent's goalkeeper Foster's form, the Saints would have been 0-4 at the end of the first half.

The second half just started. Although Southampton immediately received a penalty, Mane's shot from the team was saved by Miniole. The hope that the home team had just ignited was once again ruthlessly extinguished by the opponent.

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

Then... they suddenly collapsed!

From the 65th minute, Southampton's offensive suddenly became extremely sharp. Pelle assisted Mane twice to break through the goal guarded by Miniole, and scored another goal himself. In the 84th minute, the score had changed from 0-2 to 3-2!

For a season, Rodgers has been spoiled by the omnipotent Long Shute. He is used to the boring plot of just putting the Dragon Boss on the field, which naturally means getting a three-pointer and a victory. So much so that when the team is reversed, he can't react at all!

He replaced Origi and attacked with Benteke, Origi and Sturridge for 6 minutes, but still failed to equalize the score!

Liverpool lost 2-3 to Southampton, while their championship rival Leicester City struggled to defeat Crystal Palace 1-0 away. With two games less, Liverpool, who led the Premier League standings for most of the season, narrowed the gap to 3 points by the Blue Foxes!

Yes, Liverpool still has two more games to play. Theoretically, they still maintain the initiative to compete for the championship, but if we consider that the opponents in these two games are Everton, and Chelsea, who is eager to revenge, it is still difficult to win easily on them.

After all, as long as the points are not obtained, there is always the possibility of capsizing in the gutter. This plot that saw a glimmer of hope but ultimately makes people even more desperate. Liverpool fans experienced two or three times a few years ago...

Liverpool still has 9 league rounds and Leicester City has 7 rounds. No one can predict what will happen in the past two months.

Long Shute sent a text message to Rogers:

"Brendan, this makes it easy for me to have... I am the team leader, and I will be relegated if the team leaves... This kind of idea!"

Rogers replied to him within a minute:

"Isn't the Chinese team competition over? Get back to me quickly!"

Long Shute explained helplessly:

"I doubt if there was any major damage to your memory. I clearly told you that I have two games this week!"

-

In addition to sending a few text messages between the coach and the captain, Southampton's game against Liverpool also brought another consequence:

Rogers became even more determined to continue buying people from his fellow villagers' homes.

In two league games and one league cup, Mane, who scored twice every time, undoubtedly became the first on the signing list. Pelle, Wanyama, Van Dijk, and even goalkeeper Foster were all recorded in his small notebook by Rodgers.

A scout from Liverpool Club lived directly around the Saints training base. He came to observe the status of these players every day and reported it to the head coach in time. He also contacted them in advance and asked indirectly whether they would like to join Liverpool...

Although it is only March now, as a club, Liverpool will never be able to wait until the summer transfer window officially opens after June before starting to sign up, otherwise those hundreds of staff will only need to work for four months a year to rest...

The big red hand once again reached towards their most familiar opponent in recent years, Southampton.

This time they decided to emptie the fellow villagers' homes in addition to one stitch and one thread!

Anyway...Liverpool seems to be short of money nowadays!

——What? Since Southampton is so strong, why didn’t Rogers just coach his fellow countrymen?
