Green Dragon

Chapter 729 Dragon Hero for the Country and the People

"Steven, do you know how I feel right now?"

In a Liverpool pub, two men are toasting a drink.

It may be an exaggeration to say that it is a heavy drink, but as a professional football practitioner, it is really rare to have a sip of a glass of beer.

The man in his 30s called "Steven" raised his eyebrows, and several obvious forehead lines appeared on his forehead:

"I guess you'd think... how lonely it is to be invincible, wouldn't you, Brendan?"

"Hahaha!"

Rogers laughed and patted his thigh:
"I suddenly understood how Long felt when he left Bayern Munich. If everything is at your fingertips, sometimes...the excitement and excitement are indeed lost."

Gerald mused:
"So... you want to leave here?"

"fart!"

Rogers looked at the legendary captain in front of him with vigilance:

"I'm not Long Shute, why did I leave here to find new excitement?!"

Don't think I don't know your little thoughts, Gerald!
Don't you just wait for me to leave... so that you can inherit my great country? !

Before Gerrard left Liverpool, his relationship with Rodgers was actually very bad-although it was not as bad as Casillas and Mourinho.

But the arrival of Long Shute solved everything.

He can share the defensive pressure for Gerrard to the greatest extent, allowing the old captain to focus more on organization, series, and even goals. More importantly, he can bet on the head coach's mouth with victory and championships!
So Rogers has no way to make any comments on Gerrard's return.

After all, Gerrard is Liverpool.

When he gave up the absolute main force and the captain's armband, and accepted the rotation or even the status of a substitute, no Liverpool person could refuse his return.

What's more... As time went by, everyone was surprised to find that Gerrard, who had been away from the top game for a year, had gradually returned to his former peak in body and condition!
His playing time is getting more and more, and he has even squeezed Milner and Lallana behind him!

If it wasn't for Coutinho and Emre Can's transfer and departure, the competition in Liverpool's midfield would have declined, and I'm afraid even Henderson would be squeezed to the bench by the big brother!

With appearances, goals, assists, willpower, leadership, and tough interceptions that are not inferior to young people... For such a veteran, Rogers can no longer ask for more.

This is sometimes the case between people. Although there has been unhappiness, it may not be impossible to turn enemies into friends. After all, they are all for Liverpool.

So they also sit here once in a while, having a drink for the common cause.

Of course, drinking alcohol is prohibited during the league, but... it's a short break now.

It's another national team game week.

March 11, at 15:19 in the evening.

For the country that has entered winter, the sky is completely dark at this time-except for some areas in the west that can still see a touch of light.

On TV, 80% of the channels are broadcasting the same program.

That calm and steady voice echoes in hundreds of millions of families day after day:

"In the just-concluded fifth round of the 2018 Russia World Cup Asian qualifiers, the Chinese team beat Qatar 7-2 in an away game and continued to lead the standings with five victories.

Chinese captain Long Shute once again gave the fans a wonderful scoring performance. He completely dominated the game with five goals and one assist. When he was replaced, he even received a collective standing and applause from the away fans .

The Chinese team, which stumbled in the top 40, has maintained a complete victory since entering the top 12. After halfway through, it has scored 15 points, and the qualifying situation is bright. According to expert analysis, as long as the Chinese team wins in the next five rounds If you score 2 points, you will be 100% locked in a qualifying place..."

After the announcer finished the introduction, "News Network" played the highlights of the game in about 2 minutes. As the captain and core, Long Shute played for at least a minute and a half.

He is full of confidence, and he commands.

His arrogance was exposed, and he went to the enemy camp in person.

He was in charge of the gate alone, and he entered Longtan alone.

He is what everyone expects, and he is omnipotent!
-
"Have you decided on the location of the next match?"

This time, only one game is scheduled for the national team's game week, so Long Shute doesn't have to be exhausted.

He can leisurely have a simple meal with Vice Chairman Zhang Jian of the Football Association in the hotel in Doha.

Qatari-style roasted whole lamb, Hamura (a kind of grilled fish), Persian Gulf lobster, roasted milk camel, grilled steak...

After ordering a meal, more than half of them are barbecues, which somewhat explains the food characteristics of this country.

Of course, there are also all kinds of local specialty coconut food, but they are used as appetizers before meals and fruit salad after meals.

Zhang Jian nodded while watching the waiter tear open the shell of the lobster with tweezers:
"Your proposal has been formally studied by the Football Association, but to be honest, it conflicts with many principles and regulations of FIFA, but...from a political point of view, it is a good suggestion. Therefore, the Football Association has reported the plan The General Administration of Sports, the General Administration will come forward to coordinate other departments, and I believe that after a while, we will get a reply."

"Remember to notify me in time after approval."

But Long Shute didn't have any manners or demeanor, so he tore off a small half of the leg of lamb with his gloves on, and began to chew unceremoniously.

As a Chinese man, he doesn't have much resistance to barbecue, but since he became a professional player, he has to strictly control his diet. It is also almost insulated from food...

It is probably not a problem in principle to indulge one's stomach once in a while.

Anyway, with his training volume, this amount of calories and fat will not have any effect on him.

"Of course."

Seeing that Big Brother Long was so rude, Zhang Jian no longer pretended to be reserved. He also started directly, grabbed a small half of the lobster, and began to send it to his mouth:
"However, we are still a little worried. You may also know that that place is special after all, and the fans may have some resistance..."

Long Shute waved his hand:
"So I asked you to notify me in time. You are responsible for the policy matters, and I am responsible for the fan matters."

Seeing how confident he was, Zhang Jian couldn't help laughing:

"That's right, Captain Long responded all the time. I underestimated Captain Long's influence. I punish myself with three cups!"
-
"Boss, you are really worried about the development of Chinese football."

So said Crome Liu on the private plane back to Liverpool.

He wasn't flattering, as a personal assistant, of course he had participated in the entire banquet before, so he just said this with emotion.

Long Shu shrugged his shoulders indifferently:

"Don't pretend, I know that's not what you think in your heart."

Crom smiled and expressed his innermost thoughts:

"I can't hide anything from you. This time, are you going to pretend to be a big guy again?"

Long Shute laughed, and threw the seventh autobiography that he had just published into his arms:
"I, Long Shute... When did I pretend to be aggressive?"

The tablet computer on the coffee table suddenly rang - some planes in 2016 already allow passengers to surf the Internet during the flight, not to mention that this is a private plane with more advanced equipment.

is an email.

Crom opened it and glanced at it, then handed it to his boss:

"It was sent by Zhang Jian. His efficiency is really fast. Your proposal has been approved."

Long Shute didn't take it, but waved his hand, a faint smile appeared on his face:

"Fortunately, they can't even do this."

Crom's eyes fell on the tablet screen in his hand again:
"The State Council has officially approved that the 2017th round group match of the top 3 World Preliminaries on March 23, 6 can be held in Hong Kong. The General Administration of Sports will take the lead and contact all relevant departments to jointly organize the event and guarantee the later stage. Work."

He suddenly heard his boss sigh.

Just listen to Long Ritian say:
"If I can arrange this competition in Taipei, can I win the Nobel Peace Prize?"
