Chapter 310 Return to the Champions League
Players are people too.

If the 11-2 victory over Watford was due to the "Bumblebee" deceiving too much and humiliating themselves, then in the second round of the league, Liverpool's players were much more gentle.

Facing the "King of London" Crystal Palace, the soldiers of the Red Army obviously couldn't find their form. Even Lu Feng, who has always been unkind, was no longer as vicious as he was a week ago.

In this game, Lu Feng only scored 5 goals and sent 1 assist, leading the team to score all three points 7-0.

The two rounds of the league blasted 8+5 goals, and the English media sighed in unison:

"There is still no suspense about the Premier League Golden Boot this season!"

The media in Madrid and Catalonia sighed at the same time:
"The competition for next year's European Golden Boot... is also over!"
-
Speaking of the European Golden Boot, after playing the second round of the league, Lu Feng received the third European Golden Boot in his career in Liverpool.

He scored a terrifying 121 goals in the Premier League last season, while his strongest competitor, Barcelona's Messi, only scored 37 goals in La Liga.

As for Ronaldo, who has been "hot for up to three years", there has been a cliff-like decline. There are only 25 league goals on the report card, and he can only rank third in the La Liga scorer list.

Lu Feng completed one-third of Messi's stats and half of Ronaldo's stats in just two rounds. The once peerless twins are indeed facing this huge challenge now.

The sports world has generated a voice:
"If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't participate in the Champions League last season, almost 2017% of the awards in 100 would be monopolized by Lu Feng!"
-
On August 8, at the Melwood training base on this day, the players did not see the head coach.

Surprising no one, assistant coach Buvac shrugged and said the well-known answer:
"He went to Monaco for the draw."

The 2017-18 season is the first time for Liverpool to participate in the UEFA Champions League after two years. It is also the first time since Klopp coached the Red Army to lead the team. Of course, he must attach great importance to it.

According to the rules of the Champions League, as the Premier League champions, Liverpool is listed as one of the eight seeded teams, which is commonly known as the "first pot".

Pot [-] teams include: Real Madrid (Champions League + La Liga champions), Liverpool (Premier League champions), Bayern Munich (Bundesliga champions), Juventus (Serie A champions), Benfica (Portuguese Super League champions), Monaco (Ligue [-] champions) ), Spartak Moscow (Russian Super League champion), Shakhtar Donetsk (Ukrainian Super League champion)-of course Liverpool replaced Chelsea.

After the second tier, it is ranked according to the European War points:
Pot two: Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Borussia Dortmund, Sevilla, Manchester City, Porto, Chelsea - Chelsea have pushed United into pot three.

Pot [-]: Napoli, Manchester United, Tottenham, Basel, Olympiacos, Anderlecht, Roma, Besikhetas.

Pot [-]: Celtic, CSKA Moscow, Sporting Lisbon (Sporting Lisbon), APOEL (Cyprus), Feyenoord, Maribor (Slovenia), Karabak (Azerbaijan), Leipzig.

The players who had completed training watched the slow-paced draw ceremony while refueling in the cafeteria.

Although Liverpool participated in the Champions League in the 2014-15 season, there are still many newly joined players who are very unfamiliar with this competition, such as Mane, Van Dijk and Robertson, but everyone seems to be full of confidence.

Lovren, who is bold and not too serious, even uttered a roar:
"We are going to enter the group of death!"

Under the fiddle of the lottery guest and Rome "Wolf King" Totti, the 32 strong teams were divided into 8 groups:
Group A: Benfica, Chelsea, Basel, Qarabag

Group B: Bayern, Paris, Anderlecht, Celtic

Group C: Liverpool, Atletico Madrid, Roma, Army

Group D: Juventus, Barcelona, ​​Olympiacos, Sporting
Group E: Sparta, Seve, Manchester United, Maribor

Group F: Shakhtar, Manchester City, Napoli, Feyenoord

Group G: Monaco, Porto, Besikhetas, Leipzig
Group H: Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Tottenham, APOEL
There is no doubt that Liverpool's Group C is the most competitive "group of death"!
"My God..."

Salah couldn't help shaking his head, and then punched Lovren on the head:
"Dejan, you crow mouth!"

Of course he is not afraid of Atletico Madrid, Rome, and CSKA Moscow, but worried about his old club, Rome...

Assistant coach Kravitz raised his eyebrows:
"The last group match... is Russia's away game? It seems that UEFA wants us to enjoy the beautiful snow scenery of Siberia?"

Captain Henderson just finished peeling an orange, and he handed it to Lu Feng with a smile:
"Isn't it good to enjoy the snow scene? Anyway, we will definitely qualify before the sixth round, right?"

Lu Feng took Henderson's oranges:
"You are so right, Jordan, you deserve to be our captain!"

Henderson smiled even wider.

As early as the beginning of the season, Henderson actually reflected one thing to the coaching staff:
For the overall benefit of the team, he can give up the captain's armband to Lu Feng.

After all, this club already belongs to the Chinese capital, and Lu Feng's strength and influence have already far surpassed Henderson's. What's more, Captain Heng is not a well-established Liverpool youth training like Gerrard...

But Lu Feng didn't agree, and Lu Tianwang didn't even accept the appointment of the third and fourth captains.

He doesn't care about the glory brought by the captain's armband, he just doesn't care about those trivial matters!

Don't think that the captain of a team only needs to be responsible for winning the championship trophy after the season is over. He is also responsible for leading the team to shake hands in every game, guessing coins, reasoning with the referee, standing up for his teammates, and even more in daily training. The team, supervision of discipline, communication with the coaching staff and even the management, organizing group activities, and even leading new players to familiarize themselves with the environment, go to the toilet, and do health care and so on.

Lu Tianwang's schedule is so full, how can he have the time to take care of these things! -
The draw was followed by the awards ceremony, the best striker of the year, the best midfielder, the best defender, the best goalkeeper and the best male and female players of the year...

However, the basis for these awards is the Champions League. Even if Lu Feng breaks through the sky in the Premier League, he can't stop Ronaldo from lifting that weird trophy.

The king of Portugal is obviously very excited. In the 2016-17 season, he not only led Real Madrid to win the La Liga, but also historically completed the feat of defending the Champions League. Although the total number of goals is not as good as Messi and Lu Feng, but he The honor in hand is enough to overwhelm everything!
He can't wait to make an appeal to the judges of "French Football" and FIFA:
"Strongly urge to stop counting votes!
The Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year awards should be awarded tomorrow! "
