Chapter 76
Eindhoven, as a giant team in the Eredivisie, won the European Champions Cup in 1988.But like other low-level leagues, since the implementation of the Bosman Act, it has become a processing factory for the four major European leagues. Countless talents have taken off from here, including Ronaldo, Romario, and Van Nistelrooy, etc. They all started their brilliant football careers here.

Speaking of which, Eindhoven is lucky. Although they were abused by Liverpool twice in the UEFA Champions League group stage this season, they still advanced to the top 16 in second place in the group, and then scored 2 to 1 in the quarter-finals. Defeated the Premier League giants Arsenal to advance to the top 8.But they are also unfortunate, because he met Liverpool, the strongest team this season.

And I heard that when the results of the top 8 draw came out, the head coach of PSV looked up to the sky and sighed: "God, why am I so unlucky?" Then he closed his eyes and fell to the ground.Fortunately, the Chinese player Sun Xiang knows a little of the ancient Chinese formula - pinch Renzhong, hold the head of the head coach, stretch out his right thumb, and pinch down Renzhong acupoint.Unexpectedly, this method really worked. The head coach of Eindhoven screamed and then woke up. As a result, Sun Xiang was fined to run ten laps because Sun Xiang's thumb was covered with the blood of the head coach of Eindhoven.

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

And as Li Lin led Liverpool to the Netherlands, the English media also became crazy. They wrote in reports: "The Premier League champion has come to Eindhoven to avenge Arsenal and revive the Premier League!"

And the Dutch media is not a vegetarian, and immediately responded: "We have already defeated Arsenal, can't we beat Liverpool?"

As a result, as soon as these two articles came out, Li Lin felt nothing after reading them. You can write whatever the media likes. Anyway, I am playing soy sauce, as long as I win the game.And the head coach of Eindhoven closed his eyes and fainted again. Before he fainted, he shouted again: "Isn't it just an ordinary football match, as for causing international problems? If I lose, I will be a national sinner." , how am I supposed to mess around in the future? Pfft..." Dizzy.It can be seen that the head coach's attitude is not as correct as that of Li Linfang. After learning from Li Lin, after arriving in Eindhoven, he also closed his eyes, but just slept and rested, and his ears were closed.

On April 4, Li Lin brought Keegan to the pre-match press conference after adapting to the field at the Philips Stadium with energetic players.During the meeting, Li Lin officially announced to the outside world that Kevin Keegan officially became a member of Liverpool's coaching staff.

Then a reporter immediately got up and asked Keegan a question: "May I ask why you want to be an assistant coach in Liverpool? Are you going to give up being a head coach?"

"First of all, what I want to say is that the assistant coach is Kenny, and I'm just Kenny's assistant. Secondly, I don't want to give up being the head coach. I came to Liverpool with a learning attitude. Now the whole world knows that Li He What a great head coach, I think I can learn a lot from his side, which will definitely help me become a head coach in the future.”

Then the reporter asked Li Lin: "Excuse me, Li, your team only played a game three days ago. After that, your team seems to be out of shape. What do you think about this? You can still beat Egypt tomorrow. Indhoven? You know everyone in England now wants Liverpool to win to avenge Arsenal."

Hearing what the reporter said, Li Lin knew that this must be a reporter from the British Empire, and said with extreme contempt in his heart: "Damn, you are so stupid, I don't care about your British business whether I can win or not. I came to avenge my shame, and Wenger hacked me alive without a knife."

The mental activity is over, but I still have to say something, "Well, I just want to say that this is a very ordinary game. If there is something special, it is just the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. As for the state of my players, I don’t think you need to worry, you will know after the game. As for whether we can beat PSV, we will know after tomorrow’s game.”

Then Li Lin took Keegan and left. On the way, Li Lin kept cursing the reporter for his bad writing, which made Keegan laugh out loud.

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

On the evening of April 4th, the game is about to start.Li Lin announced his tactics to the players in the locker room, "In this game, we have no other choice, except to attack, or to attack. We want to solve PSV in one game."

The head coach of Eindhoven frowned in the locker room, because he had just received the news that the young midfielder Afeilai failed to pass the health check due to an injury in the league last weekend, and was unable to play the game as a result.This left Eindhoven, which is already full of wounded soldiers, with no cards to play.Facing the players, the head coach of Eindhoven said with determination: "Everyone knows how strong Liverpool is this season. They have just won the Premier League championship. However, this is at our home court, and we cannot let the Liverpool players Reckless, we're going to attack, we're going to score goals."

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

"Hi everyone, welcome to the quarter-finals of this season's Champions League, the first leg between PSV Eindhoven and Liverpool. This game is Liverpool's 250th official European game, and it is also the first since Liverpool became the Premier League champions. One game, it can be said that it is very meaningful. Let's look at the starting lineup." Ruskin said simply.

Liverpool: Goalkeeper: Dudek; Defenders: Finnan, Agger, Hyypia, Gareth Bale; Midfielders: Mascherano, Gerrard, Rui Costa; Forward, Oli Odd, Crouch, Luis Garcia.

PSV: Goalkeeper: Gomez; Defenders: Kronkamp, ​​Simmons, Da Costa, Salcido; Midfielders: Mendes, Varinen, Cocu; Forwards: Culina, Diego Ge, Farfan.

Lineker also analyzed the starting lineup and said: "Obviously, because Liverpool had a strong matchup 4 days ago, there are many substitute players on the field in this game, but I just don't know how these players are. (Li Lin: Damn, can the players selected on the spot be in a bad state?). Eindhoven, judging from the information I just got, I don’t even know why they chose an offensive formation. Reziger, Alex and Kone both avoided the battle due to injuries, and the teenager Afele, who performed well in the previous few games, did not pass the medical examination. Just these people want to win Liverpool at home. Is it true that the head coach of Eindhoven really put all Are all the Premier League teams regarded as Arsenal? (Wenger: Damn, what happened to my Arsenal, if you want you to say that, you’re so stupid.)”

Just like what Lineker said, Li Lin also found it incredible when he saw PSV's formation at first, but since they deliver food to you, is there any reason not to eat it?
At the beginning of the game, Liverpool took the initiative on the field, but it should be said that the veteran Costa is the core of the midfielder today, so Liverpool's offensive rhythm is not very fast, it should be said that it is a bit slow.Slowly dribble and break through, and then slowly pass the ball, in short, it is slow.

But it was in this mediocrity that Liverpool showed its fangs.In the 16th minute, Garcia took a tactical corner kick and the ball was given to Costa.Costa slowly dribbled the ball towards the middle, but the Eindhoven players just couldn't grab it.Suddenly, Costa went straight through the middle, and Olic then activated, caught up with the ball, and pushed the ball into the far corner. 1 to 0, Liverpool lead.

The goal was scored so quickly that the Eindhoven players conceded a goal before they could react.The Dutch fans in the stands were a little sleepy because of Liverpool's slow attack. They were yawning or squinting, and they saw Olić galloping to celebrate the goal, and the Liverpool fans who came from afar also started Crazy cheers.

Lineker looked at the score displayed on the screen, held back for a long time, and choked out a sentence, "I didn't see how this goal was scored." "Bang" Ruskin fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

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

When the game resumed, Eindhoven launched a fast break and quickly advanced to the front of Liverpool's penalty area, but in the end Varinen's shot was too straight and was easily taken by Dudek.If you miss such a good opportunity, you will be punished by God, oh no, Li Lin.Dudek launched an attack with a quick hand throw.

Finnan catches the ball and drives quickly along the boundary line.After passing the center line, it will be handed over to Costa.Costa did not dribble the ball slowly just now, but made a long pass into the penalty area of ​​PSV. Crouch took advantage of his height and ferried the ball to the arc of the penalty area. Gerrard, who quickly inserted it, followed It was a heavy bombardment.The ball went into the goal quickly, and the whole goal was wailed by the ball. 2 to 0, Liverpool expanded the score.

For the remainder of the first half, Liverpool had several good chances but failed to capitalize.In the second half, Li Lin replaced the exhausted Gerrard with Sissoko and continued to attack.Eindhoven also replaced Farfan with Sun Xiang.

After playing, Sun Xiang might also want to prove something in front of Li Lin, running back and forth on the field like a lunatic, but this is obviously not enough.

In the 52nd minute, Costa made another wonderful pass. Garcia inserted into the penalty area from the side and pushed the ball in front of the pass, but was saved by Gomez. Leach unceremoniously scored the ball into the gate, 3 to 0, Olic scored twice, Liverpool sealed the victory.

Then Eindhoven replaced Mendes with Kluivert, trying to get back the score, but Kluivert, who was no longer able to score, did not pose a threat to Liverpool's defense.

In the 65th minute, Bell made a high pass from the left, but Sun Xiang failed to block it. Da Costa, who was defending Crouch closely, also failed to block the front point. England Gao Lao headed the ball into the goal from 6 meters in the middle. 4 to 0, as Li Lin said, Liverpool will treat the second round as a decoration.

In the 74th minute, when Sun Xiang was defending Sissoko, he did not stop and brought him down. Liverpool got a free kick on the left.Bell set the ball up, took a few steps back carefully, waited for the referee to blow the whistle, started running, swung his legs, and the gate, in one go, Gomez picked up the ball from his own gate for the fifth time.

In the 84th minute, Eindhoven player Simmons made a pass error and passed the ball to Mascherano. Mascherano took two steps and blasted the goal 30 meters away from the goal. The ball was slightly arced The line rubbed against the left post and flew into the net, 6-0. At this time, the head coach of Eindhoven was about to cry.Another strong match between AC Milan and Bayern ended in a 2-2 draw between the two sides.

After the game was over, Li Lin took the players back to Liverpool overnight, then hurried home and turned on the computer.I didn't watch the game news because I was short of time in the first two days (I used it for sleeping).

"Ding Dong, the player won the game against Aston Villa and got 10GP points"

"Ding dong, the player wins the match against Arsenal and gets 10 GP points"

"Ding dong, the game has been running for a full month, and 10GP points will be deducted"

"Ding dong, the player completes the task - Destroy Dreams to win the third stage, and get rewarded with 100 GP points, a special skill card, and a special function card"

"Ding Dong, the player won the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals and won 10 GP points"

"Ding Dong, the player has completed the mission - Champions League is in the first half of the second stage of the operation."

After clearing the news one by one, Li Lin counted his GP points, 771 GP points, three special skill cards, and two special function cards.

Seeing so many GP points, Li Lin was not happy, but fell into contemplation. Logically speaking, the difficulty of the game should not be so high. How could there be so many GP points? It shouldn’t be. Even if the game is upgraded, it only costs 500GP I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out, it seems that I will only know when the game is upgraded next season.

PS: Thank you for your special liking for your reward, and congratulations for being promoted to a deacon.
