Chapter 19 Red Army Liverpool
In the Premier League, there is a derby between teams in the same city, and teams in different cities will also meet because of various domestic and international competitions. Either you beat him, or he beat you. If the loser happens to be Being eliminated, hatred comes from this - what I want to say is basically to express that in the Premier League, there are not many teams that are completely free from enmity, and there are so many derbies and rivals. countless.
Queens Park Rangers also had a history of enmity with Liverpool in history. In the 76-77 season, the British league had not yet been reformed. Queens Park Rangers, who were in the same league as Liverpool, were runners-up in the league last season. , but in the last game of this season, it was because they met Liverpool, the powerful team at the time, and lost the match. They were kicked back to the second division.
The Red Army Liverpool, in its history of more than 100 years since its establishment, has won 18 English top league titles, 7 English FA Cup titles, and 7 English League Cup titles.In the European arena, Liverpool is the most successful club in England. Although the club's performance has been somewhat low in recent years, no one dares to say that Liverpool is not a rich family or a strong team.
Even though Chelsea has been particularly strong in the past few years and has a steady stream of capital injections from the richest owner in Russia, in the eyes of the British and Europeans, he is still inferior to Liverpool. This is a matter of historical background-just look at the British derby. Liverpool vs. Manchester United, not other teams vs. Manchester United.
Liverpool Football Club is located in Liverpool, the second largest trading port in the UK. It is the greatest football club in the city, and more than half of the residents in Liverpool are its fans.
Liverpool's home stadium, Anfield, is known as the "devil's home stadium" in the Premier League. When Liverpool fans watch the team's game at home, the enthusiasm and cheers that erupt are almost equivalent to bombs being detonated non-stop. The fans and players of the visiting team were terrified.
When the home players and the away players came out of the player tunnel with the juicy caddies together, there was a burst of cheers in the Anfield Stadium. Of course, most of the cheers were dedicated to the Liverpool team playing at home. of.
As the last league game that can be watched before the festival, the fans broke out with great enthusiasm for this game. The stands that can accommodate 61905 people are full, but the number of seats left for the visiting team is only more than 9000, and that More than 9000 fans dressed in blue and white Queen's Park Rangers fans cheered hard, but they were still no match for Liverpool fans, who are known as the most enthusiastic fans in the Premier League.
Before the game started, some fans on the pitch sang Liverpool's team anthem, "You'll Never Walk Alone".
The enthusiasm erupted by the Liverpool fans amazed the QPR players. Campbell said with emotion: "If the boss hadn't trained us in advance, I think today's atmosphere would affect our performance again. It turns out that the Anfield The atmosphere at home is more terrifying than the Emirates Stadium. Just listening to the cheers dedicated to them makes me feel a little weak in my legs."
"Hey, can you have some backbone?" Bosroyd approached Campbell with a smirk, rubbing his hair, "Lin Duo is steady, and his face hasn't changed. You have to give me a good kick today, or... …uh-huh!"
Campbell hurriedly took his head out of Bosroyd's clutches, and said angrily, "I just had my hair done yesterday! Are you going to discriminate against us with handsome hair just because of your size?!"
Bosroyd laughed "hehe" twice, and didn't refute Campbell at all. Obviously, he just went to mess up the opponent's hairstyle.
Only then did Lin Zhigao belatedly say to the two of them: "You say, if we score a goal here, how much will they boo us?"
Bosroyd and Campbell looked at each other, and they both thought of what the team players had encountered in the Emirates Stadium in the previous games, and thought that the atmosphere here was more terrifying than the Emirates Stadium, and the two swallowed unconsciously at the same time saliva.
What the players of the team didn't notice was that Lin Zhigao lowered his head, clenched his fists slightly, and whispered a little excitedly: "Thinking about that scene, I want to score a goal into their booing sky." ..."
……
The referee blew his whistle and the game started.
Liverpool won the ball, captain Steven Gerrard kicked it off and passed it to striker Suarez, who dribbled very well and was well received by QPR when he entered the QPR box. Defenders Howe and Gabbiton surrounded him, so they passed the ball to Gerrard, and Gerrard raised his foot and shot...
Goalkeeper Kenny saves the ball and it misses.
Only 2 minutes into the game, Liverpool launched an effective shot attack. At this time, the QPR players were still adapting to the slippery Anfield lawn. The climate here is different from London, and the touch of the lawn is also different. It is more difficult to make big moves with sliding tackle and running, which has a certain impact on speed and passing.
Warnock stood on the edge of the court, gesturing to the players: Steady!Go steady first!
The Queens Park Rangers players will understand the meaning of the head coach, and the defense has shrunk a little tighter.
The home fans uttered a loud cry for Liverpool, just because of an unsuccessful shot.
Hearing such cheers, Lin Zhigao was a little annoyed, so when Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard took the ball again, he quickly intercepted the ball with sharp eyesight and feet.
The lawn was a little slippery, which affected some of his speed, but he flicked his feet, and the difficulty was tolerable.
"Queens Park Rangers' China Lin broke the ball, a beautiful tackle! Although the team's players have been acting a little uncomfortable with the lawn of the court, it seems that this has not affected him, and his speed is still the same Hurry up!" the famous BBC commentator David Coburn said into the microphone.
Liverpool's No. 7 striker, Luis Suarez, is an all-around player with top-notch dribbling and shooting skills and extremely fast speed. The moment Lin Zhigao just broke Gerrard's ball, he chased after Lin Zhigao. Going up, trying to break the ball back.
Sensing the threat coming from behind, Lin Zhigao used an acceleration to get rid of Suarez.
But there was Liverpool defender Agger outflanking him in front of him. He and Suarez followed each other, blocking Lin Zhigao!
Pass?Or breakthrough?
Just when Lin Zhigao was hesitating, a tackle from behind arrived!Suarez stretched out a foot from the left side of Lin Zhigao's body!
Lin Zhigao hurriedly protected the ball, but his left foot touched Suarez's right foot. The grass was slippery. He spun around and slipped to the ground in an instant!
He hit the ground face down hard, and Lin Zhigao took a mouthful of grass clippings.
"This should be a foul..." Coburn said into the microphone: "Lin was dribbling the ball, and when he was about to break through Agger and enter the Liverpool penalty area, Suarez gave him a back tackle. The tackle didn't break the ball, but it took down Lin's left leg and he slid. Now let's see what the refs say."
Suarez didn't think he had fouled at all. He innocently raised his hands to signal the referee, and wanted to reach out to pull Lin Zhigao up from the ground.
Lin Zhigao ignored him, and got scared from the grass. He shook his head in front of his teammates who rushed over to comfort him, and he also looked at the referee.
It doesn't matter whether others can see it or not, and it doesn't matter whether the camera can capture it, but Lin Zhigao knows that when he touched Suarez's leg just now, the other party increased his strength for a moment, and he did it on purpose!But fortunately, I was in good physical condition and was not injured, not even a sprain.
The referee only gave Suarez a verbal warning and did not issue him a card.
"The referee didn't give Suarez a yellow card. We look at the replay and obviously Lin didn't know that Suarez was going to tackle the ball from behind and he looked surprised by the sudden foot...Suarez's foot hit Lin's. When they got together, due to inertia, Lin fell to the ground... In fact, the ball can be said to be a foul, or it can be said to be a normal tackle. The referee obviously chose the latter."
More than 9000 Queens Park Rangers booed the referee's decision, but they were quickly suppressed by the cheers of Liverpool fans who were several times their size.
The football was played again, but at this time, it suddenly started to rain lightly on the field.
The weather in the UK is like this. You never know whether it will be sunny or rainy in the next hour, so whether players are playing home or away, spikes are one of the things that must be carried.
Players from both sides began to take turns going to the sidelines to change shoes.
After Lin Zhigao put on spiked shoes, he found that stepping on the lawn was not as slippery as before. He stomped his feet, very satisfied with the current state.
Warnock came up to him and whispered a word to him.
Lin Zhigao narrowed his eyes and smiled, nodded to Warnock, then ran into the field and said something to several teammates one by one.
All his teammates who were whispered by him laughed "hehehehe".
The commentator Coburn was keen to discover this: "Are the Queens Park Rangers going to change their tactics?"
The Liverpool players launched a second attack under the cheers of the fans, still with Suarez as the core.
Lin Zhigao kept looking for opportunities in Liverpool's penalty area, as long as there was a profitable gap, he would slip through it.
Suarez passed the ball to Henderson, Henderson went straight into the Queens Park Rangers penalty area, and then passed the ball to forward Carroll. When Carroll was about to break through, the ball was intercepted by Bosroyd!
Although the number is disadvantaged, the Queens Park Rangers fans still refused to show weakness and cheered for Bosroyd's steal!
Bosroyd ran forward with the ball, Faulin and Campbell responded behind him, and three Liverpool defenders also appeared in the penalty area, ready to steal the ball from Bosroyd's feet at any time.
Bosroyd made a long pass, the football entered the Liverpool penalty area, and Faulin appeared there at this time!
Lift your foot and shoot!
Liverpool goalkeeper Brad Jones accurately judged the position of the ball and saved the football!
The hearts of the Liverpool fans in the stands immediately returned to their stomachs.
but!
After entering, a blue and white figure suddenly rushed out, leaping high, just under the trajectory of the football falling, with a light head bump, a white trajectory suddenly appeared in the air!
"Shua"!With a bang, the football fell into the net!
The Queens Park Rangers player who appeared outside the goal in time when the football was saved by Jones was No. 9 Lin Zhigao!
"GOOOOOOOOOAL! Exquisite cooperation!" Coburn cheered into the microphone: "After Fawulin's shot was saved, Lin scored a header in the penalty area and scored! This is the first time Lin has played in the Premier League. We never knew he had the ability to dominate in the air. From now on, Liverpool players who are fighting against QPR, be careful. You not only have to grab from QPR The ball, but also guard against their aerial shots!"
……
The Anfield stadium was very quiet, but within a few seconds, amazing cheers and boos erupted here. The Liverpool fans reluctantly used boos to express their dissatisfaction with the goal and to the team. Dissatisfaction with conceding a goal at home!
But the Queens Park Rangers fans were even more excited, they howled their throats and cheered even louder.
In the stands, John, whose face was covered with blue and white striped oil paint, asked Old Sean, "When shall we let them see our new team song?"
Old Sean shouted: "Of course it is now!"
John excitedly put a paper king's hat on his head, then took out the baton he had prepared long ago, stood in front of the Queen's Park Rangers fans stand, waved his hands passionately, and shouted: "My friend! Come on, let the Red Army experience our new ORS anthem!"
The blue and white phalanx immediately cheered.
……
On the court, Lin Zhigao, who successfully scored with a header, was so excited that he rushed to the sidelines, wanting to give a hug to the head coach Warnock who had just taught him to shoot with a header.
The grey-haired Warnock also looked excited, clapping hands with the assistant coach to celebrate.
This away goal scored at Anfield is absolutely worth a thousand dollars!Not only that, Warnock has also seen the team's current combat effectiveness on the front line. He just let Lin Zhigao head the goal. First, he wanted to test his training results during this period of time. It worked!If you train well, over time, the team will have another magic weapon to win!
Warnock, who was discussing tactics excitedly with the assistant coach, didn't see a figure rushing behind him!
"Ah!" Warnock was startled when someone suddenly attacked him from behind, but he soon realized who was embracing him, and he wanted to turn around and give his disciple a hug.
But Lin Zhigao actually picked him up and circled around the court!
"Let's see what's happening on the side of the court..." Coburn couldn't help laughing as soon as he saw the scene the camera was aiming at: "Haha, Lin's way of expressing his joy is really unique. Picking up his head coach and circling in circles? I think he wanted to give the head coach a hug, but, uh, maybe he was too excited, but this way of celebrating just shows the relationship between Lin and the team's head coach Very good! For a team, the head coach and the players have a good relationship, which is definitely a good thing!"
Lin Zhigao, who was excited and didn't know how to measure, turned Warnock fainted before letting go. Warnock suddenly fell on the hungry assistant coach. He turned around and wanted to find Lin Zhigao to blame him, but saw The young player slapped his ass and ran away, obviously not wanting to hear his lesson.
"This brat." Warnock scolded while laughing.
Lin Zhigao, who returned to the court, also applauded his teammates, who chirped and asked him: "Boy, when did you learn to score goals with a header?"
"Seeing that you are not tall, you are only 1.8 meters, how can you jump quite high?"
"Is this a secret tactic you made with the coach?"
"Haha, we are now 1:0, and we have won an away game at Anfield. I am excited just thinking about it!"
"Look at you tossing the boss so much, be careful that the boss will go back and take revenge on you."
At this moment, bursts of singing suddenly came from the North Stand of Anfield Stadium.
