Chapter 318 What's the matter with letting the water go?
"These are delicacies from our hometown, please don't be polite to me..."

In the courtyard of a villa in Merseyside, a puff of cooking smoke is rising.

Accompanied by a strong fragrance, Lu Feng also swallowed slightly.

I saw that Salah skillfully sprinkled a handful of seasoning on the barbecue, and then brushed it with a layer of oil. The food in his hand suddenly became more attractive.

As an ancient country of traditional civilization, Egypt certainly has a long and rich cuisine, but no matter what it is Kushali (macaroni, pasta, rice + vegetable hodgepodge), Egyptian food (baked bread), Shevoma (meat sandwich), Farah Fei (fried vegetable balls), to Lu Feng, was not as attractive as barbecue. Just smelling the smell, he couldn't help but twitch his index finger.

——Of course, as a professional athlete, you must not eat too much greasy food like barbecue.

After wolfing down several skewers of Egyptian barbecue and a large piece of roasted pigeon, Lu Feng reluctantly let go of the stick, drank a glass of lemonade, and rinsed off the seasoning left in his mouth.

He was a little puzzled, why did this teammate specially invite him to have a big meal at home in November when the schedule was tight?
Salah is obviously also very sincere. He put down the water glass in his hand and rubbed his hands:

"Uh...you know I made my name at the Club of Rome, right?"

Lu Feng nodded, and seemed to understand his intention:

"You want Roma to win? Yes, but I will refuse to play."

Although Lu Tianwang's physical age is only 21 years old, he has never been a stunned youth. Anyway, in the Champions League group stage, Liverpool has won 4 games and 4 wins and qualified two rounds ahead of time. Putting some water on Rome will not damage the team. and personal interests.

Salah shook his head:
"I will not let my team lose for the benefit of Roma, I just hope...don't let Roma lose too badly, is this okay?"

Lu Feng raised his eyebrows, then smiled slightly:

"We have an old saying in China, eat others' mouths short, take others' hands short. I ate too much today, and I'm afraid I won't be able to start tomorrow's game!"

11 month 22 day.

In the fifth round of the Champions League group stage, Liverpool played against Roma at home.

When the players from both sides stepped onto the field, everyone was a little surprised that Lu Feng, who was not injured or sick, was excluded from the starting lineup by the head coach.

Although there are double matches a week recently, Lu Tianwang, who has gradually grown up, has gradually overcome the weakness of lack of physical fitness. Why did he sit on the bench in the Champions League?

Fortunately, the relationship between Klopp and Lu Feng is well known, and the media and fans will not overinterpret it as a "locker room squabble" after a rotation. The scenes of the two generals talking and laughing on the bench prove this point .

But as the game progressed, Klopp soon stopped laughing.

With such powerful firepower as Mane, Salah, Firmino, and Sturridge... in the first half, Liverpool failed to capture the visiting team's city, but was almost scored by Roma's Bosnian center Dzeko. Header!
Fortunately, the goalkeeper Mignole Leffe was so desperate that he almost fished the ball back from the goal line, which allowed the team to escape.

During the intermission, Klopp still couldn't help looking at Lu Feng.

Although he didn't speak, his meaning was very clear. As the head coach, he couldn't allow the team to lose like this!

Salah blushed a little, and quickly patted his chest:

"Trust me, it will definitely score, coach!"
-
Maybe it was because he couldn't let go of his former owner, or maybe he was affected by the promise and caused his mentality to be out of balance. Salah still failed to score in the second half, and he didn't even get a decent shot. Mane, who was restrained against Southampton, broke the deadlock in the 58th minute, giving everyone a little sigh of relief.

But Klopp was not satisfied. After 15 minutes, he replaced Salah and pushed Lu Feng out!

"1-0 is too unsafe!"

"I can't accept playing so ugly at Anfield!"

Lu Feng agreed with the head coach's point of view, so when he and Salah hugged to complete the substitution, he shrugged his shoulders:

"Don't worry, I will do what I promised you!"

"I will never use 100% of my strength!"

Then he said silently in his heart:
"Temporarily block all skills!"

Abandoning those powerful skills, isn't this considered letting go, not being merciful?
-
Facts have proved that Lu Feng, who has no skills, is an ordinary top player.

In his nearly 20 minutes of playing time, he hardly showed much.

Apart from scoring twice to complete the goal, it is really lackluster.

这一场3-0，也成为了利物浦在2017-2018赛季最难看的胜利——要知道，在此之前，他们本赛季最小的比分是5-0“小胜”伯恩利！

After the game, various media, experts, and fans reached a consensus again:
"Liverpool with Lu Feng on and Liverpool without Lu Feng are definitely two different teams."

"Liverpool today is too dependent on Lu Feng!"

"Liverpool is almost Lu Feng's team alone!"

"When Liverpool was in a tough fight, Klopp's only on-the-spot command was... to replace Lu Feng!"

There are many malicious sarcasms from competitors. They still hope that through external pressure, cracks will appear inside the Liverpool dressing room, so as to weaken the Red Army's combat effectiveness.

Faced with such sinister intentions, Klopp showed his attitude against the wind:

"Did Argentina in the 80s belong to Maradona alone?"

"Did AC Milan almost rely on Kaka to win the Champions League in 2007? Ah, I'm sorry, it was our Liverpool that he defeated."

"Do Real Madrid and Barcelona now rely heavily on Ronaldo and Messi?"

"Liverpool is definitely lucky to have Lu Feng. Last season's statistics have fully shown that his presence will not overshadow other teammates, but can improve the level of the entire team."

"At the same time, his existence can also help those young teammates who are not yet at the top level gradually adapt to the team's tactics. Rewriting the battle situation will definitely reduce the psychological burden of young players."

He changed the subject:
"As for the criticism that my on-the-spot command is too simple, please forgive me for not agreeing.

The biggest adjustment I made was to match Lu Feng with different players according to his performance status.

As long as Lu Feng can bring out his best strength, as a head coach, my work has already fulfilled my expectations! "

The Liverpool Echo, which serves as the mouthpiece of the team, published Klopp's statement in full, and then summed it up with a very gamified headline:

"Lv. MAX! FENG!"

They use LUization as Lv to represent the level, and the translation into Chinese is:

"Full level striker! God striker! Invincible striker!"
-
"thank you!"

After the match, Salah toasted Lu Feng a cup of tea contentedly.

Lu Tianwang sat on the reclining chair with a big face:
"Actually, looking at the current group rankings, even if we don't release water, Roma has already gained an advantage!"

Salah smiled slightly:
"How do I know... Atletico Madrid will be so good!"

He was right.

Atletico Madrid's performance in the first 4 rounds was indeed unsatisfactory.

In the first round, they beat Roma 2-0 at home.

In the second round, when they returned to their home court, they were tied 0-0 by CSKA Moscow who came from afar.

In the third and fourth rounds, they were easily double-killed by the mighty Liverpool.

After four rounds, only 4 points were scored, while Rome scored 2 points with 2 wins and 6 losses.

In the fifth round, Atletico Madrid played against the Moscow Army. Everyone believed that Simeone would get his shame and overtake Rome in one fell swoop in the standings.

Of course, Roma would not expect to beat Liverpool in the fifth round, so they passed Salah, hoping to minimize the number of goals conceded.

But... when the result of the game came out, everyone was surprised.

Although Roma lost to Liverpool 0-3, Atletico Madrid, who were on an expedition to Russia, also failed to win-they lost 0-2 in Moscow, which had already entered sub-zero!
In this way, another promotion spot in this group requires Rome and Atletico Madrid to fight to the death in the final round of the group stage!
And in the last round of the game, how could Roma, who have the home advantage and a 2-point advantage, give up their promotion tickets?

As for the Liverpool expedition to Russia?
Even if they lost 0-10 in Moscow, what does it have to do with the final qualifying places? !
