Dynasty reappears

Chapter 45
After the victory over Bolton on January 1, Liverpool will not play until January 1, the third round of the FA Cup against Arsenal, but it is interesting to say that just three days after the FA Cup game, Liverpool have yet to play again. To play Arsenal in the quarter-finals of the League Cup.However, there are still several days before the game, and the FA Cup is not Li Lin's goal this season at all, so Li Lin is not in a hurry at all, and patiently watched the players' training.

However, Li Lin was very surprised. Rui Costa is a veteran with experience, and he can quickly develop a tacit understanding with his new teammates. However, this 18-year-old young man can also seamlessly cooperate with his teammates. In combination, in the training game, not only did they cooperate well with Mascherano in the position of the midfielder, but they also performed very well in the position of central midfielder, and cooperated with Rui Costa in a tacit understanding.So happy that Dalglish kept whispering in Li Lin's ear: "I have found a treasure, I have found a treasure..." Even though Li Lin's ears were getting callused, he was very happy in his heart. Sissoko has been well trained for a few years, this is another Vieira.

When it was time for a break, Li Lin called Sissoko and Costa over and asked how they were feeling.These two guys both smiled and answered very well, and their teammates are very good and strong.And Costa also specifically replied to Li Lin, saying: "Luka is a good guy. He has the talent of a midfielder. As long as he trains well, he will definitely be the pillar of the team in the future."

The stinky Li Lin thought to himself: "Is it okay? That's what I picked in the game for several days." But what he said changed again, "Hehe, it's not up to you as a master to make it happen Teach carefully." Costa, who became familiar with Li Lin, also knew that Li Lin usually joked, and immediately said: "I said Li (Li Lin specially criticized Costa by name) you really know how to use people, If you buy me and give me one salary and let me do two jobs, I’m going to sue you for labor abuse.” But Li Lin didn’t like this, and still said stinkingly: “Go and see They won't accept it."

After the joke, let’s get back to business, Li Lin said to Costa and Sissoko very seriously: “You should have heard Gerrard and the others say that our goal this season is the league and the Champions League, so We plan to give up the two domestic cup games. Therefore, I plan to let you play in the next two domestic cup games. First, let you get familiar with the rhythm of the Premier League, and second, it can also make you more integrated into the team. No I know what you think, if you are not in a good state, I will not force you."

There is a game, of course the players are willing to play, and the two immediately replied: "No problem."

........................

I don’t know if the Times did it on purpose or what. The interview done last year (that is, a few days ago) was only reported this year.It may also be counting the days, and it may be more sensational when there are key events.No, on January 1, the day before the FA Cup match between Liverpool and Arsenal, The Times suddenly reported an exclusive interview with Li Lin a few days ago.As soon as this article came out, the Premier League was shocked.After reading it, Ferguson, Mourinho, Wenger and others were even more angry and scolded their mothers. They all smashed the things in their hands and said, "We have eaten all the meat, and we must give some soup to other teams." Right." It is said that the players of these three teams were scolded bloody by the head coach for unknown reasons that day.Among them, Wenger even gave a death order, and he must beat Liverpool in the FA Cup and League Cup.

On January 1, at the pre-match press conference, when the reporter asked whether Liverpool’s goal this season was really the double crown, Li Lin gave an affirmative answer, which immediately caused a shock in the audience. They thought it was the "Times" I'm talking nonsense.For this sensitive topic, the reporter will certainly not miss it, and asked Wenger immediately.As a result, Wenger cited the example of being pulled down by Ferguson of course and replied that it is very difficult for Liverpool to become a double champion.As a result, all the reporters in the audience stared at him—fuck, you are so far ahead and you are overtaken by others, you have the nerve to say so.Moreover, please look at the point difference first, Liverpool is not ahead by a few points, but by as much as 7 points ahead of Manchester United, I don't know how many points ahead of Arsenal, you still overtake it.Li Lin laughed secretly when he heard Wenger's words, "I haven't seen this old man who is not funny, he laughed at himself, haha..., I laughed to death."

On the afternoon of January 1, the competition will begin.In the locker room of the home team Liverpool, Li Lin announced the starting lineup: goalkeeper Dudek, defender Finnan, Hyypia, Agger, Gareth Bale, midfielder Mascherano, Sissoko, Rui Kos Tower, striker Olic, Crouch, Garcia.

However, Arsenal did their best, goalkeeper Almunia; defender Eb, Senderos, Toure, Clichy; midfielder Rosicky, Flamini, Hleb, Gilberto Silva; Forward Van Persie, Henry.

Although today is the first appearance of Costa and Sissoko, the two are not at odds.Costa took over the offensive baton and sent a wonderful pass to Crouch just 45 seconds after the opening, but Crouch's shot was weak and was easily taken by Almunia.

Sissoko and Mascherano cooperated tacitly, forming an insurmountable obstacle in the middle.Rosicky and Silva would be frozen by the two of them every time they came to the center, but they had no choice but to attack from the side. However, under the training of Wenger, Arsenal is also very good at attacking from the side. Van Persie and Henry both have good sides. road combat capability.However, with Finnan who has always been steady on the right, Arsenal had few opportunities, and Bale on the left, with the help of Sissoko, barely resisted Arsenal's attack.

For a while there was a stalemate on the field.However, under Rui Costa's organization and scheduling, Liverpool quickly took the initiative, with a possession rate of 65%. Arsenal retreated to defend in their own penalty area and played defensive counterattacks.

In the 19th minute, Costa passed the ball to Bell, and Bell immediately passed back to Costa after attracting the defense. Costa saw an opening in Olic's place and immediately made a pass. Olic did not waste the opportunity this time. Left-footed volley near the corner to score.Olic, who scored a goal, was very happy to hold Costa, and Costa also liked the feeling of assisting his teammates.But thanks to Almunia for this ball, if it weren't for his wrong position, Olic would have been really difficult to score this ball.

First scored by Liverpool, Wenger was very angry. Before the game, he said arrogantly that he would win the game in this game.But Wenger is also very helpless, who told Fabregas to be injured at this time, the connection ability of the midfielder has weakened a lot.However, he quickly came to the sidelines to instruct the offense.

Strange to say, Arsenal's offense has not been played yet, and Liverpool's offense has come again.After the re-kick-off, Flamini, who was eager to attack, was quickly intercepted by Sissoko.Liverpool attacked again, this time Costa chose to attack from the right.Garcia received a pass from Costa, and the Spanish civets tricked Clichy with two bikes. After cutting inside, they kicked a high ball into the penalty area with their left foot. Unfortunately, this time Crouch wasted another opportunity and headed the ball slightly wide of the goal.

The most surprising thing is that after 5 minutes, Rui Costa dribbled the ball into the penalty area on a rare occasion, but was tripped by Toure. He wanted to take a penalty kick, but the referee showed Costa a yellow card , Said he was diving.The tragic Costa, who has not scored a goal in the Premier League, received a yellow card first.Dalglish yelled at the sidelines that he was wronged, and the fans booed the referee, but Li Lin didn't say anything. He just looked at his watch and immediately realized that Arsenal's goal had come.

Sure enough, when Mascherano and the others were unwilling, Arsenal launched a fast break.Van Persie and Henry cooperated continuously in the frontcourt, and finally Henry broke through the goal with a long shot from the front of the penalty area and equalized the score.

Seeing that the score was equalized, Hyypia yelled that the frontcourt players were inattentive and did not defend well.Costa and the others also knew it was their fault.After the re-kick-off, he stormed towards Arsenal's position angrily.

But until the end of the first half, neither side had a chance.In the second half, Li Lin replaced Olic with Kewell.The formation became 4-5-1, with Crouch at the top.Sure enough, the effect was good. Liverpool, who strengthened the thickness of the midfield, played more smoothly, and threatened shots one after another.There is a saying - Quantitative change can lead to qualitative change.The more shots, of course the more chances to score goals.

In the second half, Costa passed the ball to Kewell who came to the edge of the penalty area. Kewell did not stop the ball and shot a low shot directly. Unexpectedly, the goal really scored.

But only 10 minutes later, Arsenal counterattacked again, and Henry dribbled the ball alone to break through. First, the ball passed and broke through Sissoko, and then he used speed to beat Mascherano, and then under Agger's defense Choose to dribble the ball horizontally, and finally score from the far corner with a rubbing shot.The goal was entirely caused by Henry's personal performance. The perfect combination of speed and technology left the fans stunned and conquered the Anfield fans. The fans all stood up and applauded Henry.

In Liverpool's 84th minute corner kick, Crouch made no mistakes and made an accurate hit. 3 to 2, it can be said that Liverpool really won.

After the game, the reporter asked Li Lin if he had given up the game.Will the goal of this season change after winning?

But I didn't want Li Lin to reply: "I'm sorry, this game is really an accident. But my goal will not change, the league and the Champions League are the focus."

Yes, this game was an accident, and Li Lin did not expect that Costa and Sissoko could play so well in the first Premier League game.

The other coaches in the Premier League who had watched the game felt resentful again, "So the people who buy this guy are so good."

After winning the game, Li Lin only got 5GP points, because the 5GP points modified for Rui Costa had to be deducted.In this way, Li Lin's GP points totaled 473 GP points, one special skill card and one special function card.

In the League Cup, Li Lin still asked Dalglish to direct the game instead. In this game, Dalglish only called Martin Kelly from the youth team, and the others were all players from the previous game.

Unexpectedly, in this game, the two teams staged a goal battle, with Liverpool scoring 4 and Arsenal scoring 6.Liverpool lost the game.After the game, the reporter asked Li Lin what he thought of the game, and Li Lin pretended to say: "League Cup, give it to him if he wants it. We have to sympathize with the old man." As a result, Wenger was so angry that he almost fainted.
