Football: The butcher in the midfield at the start, the magic bird stunned

Chapter 37 Enemy?Fengba debut!
Standard Liege has been trying to dominate the game throughout the game, but the injuries of several main players in the league still affected the integrity of this team.

In contrast, Rangers, who have a complete lineup and are in excellent form recently, rely on skilled cooperation and strong defense to always firmly grasp the initiative of the game.

In the end, they scored a goal each in the first half and won the away game 0-2, getting off to a good start.

In another game that kicked off at the same time, Benfica defeated Poznan Leh away with a score of 2 to 4.

However, Chen Xiaoliang had some ideas. He felt that since he couldn't play in the group stage, he might as well stay in Glasgow, so as to avoid a lot of exhaustion and save time for training.

When he told Gerald about the idea, he was turned down.

The ensuing stretch was followed by wins, first two days later, with a 2-0 win over Livingston with little rest, while Celtic drew two games away at Aberdeen. The Rangers advantage has stretched to 10 points.

Since Chen Xiaoliang did not play in the UEFA Europa League two days ago, this game was the one with the most physical strength. He broke his head and foot, contributed 15 steals and 7 clearances, so that Livingston did not start the whole game. Had a decent shot.

Relying on his crazy performance on the defensive end, he was elected the best player of the game for the second time.

Five days later, the second game of the UEFA Europa League group stage will face Lech Poznan at home. Although this team has cultivated a striker like Lewandowski, the overall backward level of the Polish league is doomed to the team. You can only be a spectator in the Europa League.

1 to 0, Gerrard once again made a solid three-pointer in the rotation.

On November 11, in the third round of the Europa League, Rangers traveled to distant Portugal to challenge Benfica, the biggest competitor in this group, away.

Although he knew that Chen Xiaoliang wanted to save more time on training, Gerrard still arranged him in the entourage list.

This time, not only other players, but even assistant coach McAllister was a little puzzled.

You know, Chen Xiaoliang's hard work on training, not only all the players, but even Gerrard, who has partnered with countless players, said that it can no longer be described as abnormal, it is simply abnormal among abnormals.

Who has ever seen a football player who wakes up on time at 6 o'clock in the morning and practices until 11 o'clock in the evening?
Therefore, the team members all suspected that Gerald was worried that once he was not at home, Chen Xiaoliang would run out to communicate with Cheryl again.

The media even speculated that as long as Chen Xiaoliang goes out with the team, even if he doesn't play, he can maintain the high popularity of living in the Red Country for the homeless, and at the same time, the endorsement will not violate the contract.

However, Gerrard didn't tell Chen Xiaoliang his intention until the game was about to start.

Watching the players from both sides line up on the field, he called Chen Xiaoliang to his side.

"Who do you think are the top strikers in the world?"

Chen Xiaoliang was stunned for a moment, thinking that Gerald is a little different today, and there will be exam questions.

"C Ronaldo, Messi."

Gerald shook his head: "Don't say the answer that all three-year-olds know, what else?"

"Mbappe, Benzema, Lewandowski."

Gerald nodded: "What else?"

"Salah, Kane, Haaland?"

"Haaland is still too young, Kane... just count, is there any more?" Gerrard looked straight into the stadium and replied.

"Well...Griezmann, Jesus, Lukaku..." Before Chen Xiaoliang could finish speaking, Gerrard interrupted him.

"In the Soviet Super League, the strongest striker you can meet is at the level of Yoshigo Furuhashi. However, there is a Japanese striker who is stronger than him, Takumi Minano, who won six consecutive victories in Austria. After the league title went to Liverpool, but only had a pitiful chance to play."

"Boss, what level is the Austrian League?"

"In terms of UEFA European Championship points, in addition to the five major leagues, starting from sixth, they are the Portuguese Super League, the Eredivisie League, the Austrian Super League, the Soviet Super League and the Russian Super League. The Austrian Super League ranks eighth."

"Understood... Holy crap... a striker who is stronger than Guqiao can't even be a genuine substitute?"

"In the game against the Celtics, I gave you complete tactical freedom and let you press Furuhashi Hengwu all over the court. The price was to prevent the opponent from being offside. Our defense almost retreated to the goal. before the line.

But Chen, this retro style of play is just a stopgap measure, definitely not the trend of modern football.

I was able to do it because I hadn't been a coach for long and I was coaching a bankrupt team that had just come back from the lowest leagues.

To put it bluntly, face is not that important.

But if you go to other teams in the future, especially those giants, their head coaches will definitely not do this.Even if you win the game with this method, you will be scolded bloody by the media and fans.

I brought you here not to worry about your lack of self-discipline, but to let you see someone else. "

Speaking, Gerrard pointed to a player in the Benfica team with a bun on the back of his head.

"Do you remember what Raiola told you about swiping data that day?"

"Remember..." Chen Xiaoliang replied, but he was thinking in his heart, so you still heard the conversation upstairs that day.

"This person is now accumulating his own data in Benfica. After a year or two, which giant's striker gets old and declines, he will use his outstanding goals in the past two years to pay a high transfer fee. Switch to that giant.

This person's future ability will definitely be higher than the last three forwards you mentioned earlier.

If you want to rely on a strong defense to enter the giants one day, you must have him among your opponents.

Watch him closely!

If you are not sure that you can prevent him, then Su Chao is your ceiling! "

After Gerrard finished speaking, Chen Xiaoliang was asked to sit back on the bench.

What?A forward stronger than Griezmann, Jesus and Lukaku in the future?
Griezmann joined Barcelona for 1.2 million euros, and Lukaku was bought by Inter Milan for 8000 million euros. Could this person be worth 1 million euros in the future?

Soon, the No. 9 striker of Benfica left an indelible impression on Chen Xiaoliang.

For 3 months, 13 rounds of the league, Rangers only conceded 3 goals. In the 90 minutes tonight, they were instigated, assisted, and scored by No. 9, and almost single-handedly defeated the entire back. Anti-beating into a sieve.

Although the whole team played well, they still led three times and were equalized three times in the end. They shook hands with Benfica 3-3 in the away game.

On the way back, the whole Rangers team didn't speak, and the whole journey was dull.

Some players were blaming themselves, while others were annoyed. A 20-year-old Uruguayan striker turned upside down and wiped out all the hard work of the night.

Chen Xiaoliang fell into a deep shock.

The feeling of directly observing the scene at close range is completely different from watching the video through the screen, especially when the opponent is facing a teammate I am very familiar with.

The forward's speed not only crushed Guqiao Hengwu, but also possessed super confrontation ability. Several times when the old Davis wanted to press down, he directly pushed him away with his body.

On the header, the height of 187 combined with a strong bounce made Goldson and Balogon, who can be called the rear air defense masters in the Suchao, embarrassed.

If it weren't for the fact that Benfica's defense was worse and various fancy mistakes gave the Rangers three goals, this game would be the Rangers' first and biggest defeat of the season.

Chen Xiaoliang turned on the phone and carefully wrote down the name: Darwin Nunes.
