Green Dragon

Chapter 731 We don't want to fight chickens!
A day after Ronaldo won his third Ballon d'Or, UEFA held the draw for the Champions League knockout round at its headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

Although it has attracted a lot of attention, this ceremony is actually very simple. It took less than half an hour from beginning to end. Most of the club's head coaches and player representatives will not participate, and will only send one or two staff members in charge of management. make up the number.

The draw ceremony is held at 19:[-] in the evening in China, and at noon in the UK.

The Liverpool players who had just finished training in the morning watched the live broadcast while changing clothes and eating fruit in the locker room.

Long Shute also asked Gerald casually:
"Steven, which opponent do you want to meet?"

Gerrard had a relaxed smile on his face:
"The stronger the better, isn't it?"

Long Shute laughed loudly:
"Real Madrid, Bayern, Paris, you pick one?"
-
Hearing this laughter, Roger suddenly felt that his heart almost jumped out of his mouth...

Although he has been under the influence of Big Brother Long for a year and a half, his nature as a little coward is still fully exposed when he encounters an emergency.

On the contrary, the Liverpool players, after hearing the conversation between Long Shute and Gerrard, not only showed no fear, but geared up one by one.

"I'm looking forward to competing with Ramos for the header!"

This is the Red Army Airmaster Benteke.

"I'm looking forward to ravaging Benzema!"

This is French defender Sacco.

"I want to teach Neymar how to be a man!"

This positive and cheerful guy must be Lovren who is gradually getting out of the shadow of the green hat...
-
"After the six rounds of the group stage, there are only 16 teams remaining in the Champions League. According to the group points, they are divided into two groups..."

After the former Secretary-General Infantino was promoted, there was no newcomer to replace him for the time being, so his former partner, UEFA Sports Director Marchetti continued to be in charge of the draw.

Following his introduction, the teams and rankings that stood out from the group stage were displayed on the big screen in turn:

Group A: Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain.

Group B: Naples, Leicester City.

Group C: Barcelona, ​​Tottenham Hotspur.

Group D: Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich.

Group E: Monaco, Leverkusen.

Group F: Borussia Dortmund, Real Madrid.

Group G: Liverpool, Porto.

Group H: Juventus, Sevilla.

Traditional giants such as Paris, Bayern, and Real Madrid unexpectedly ranked second, which also left a foreshadowing for a possible strong showdown.

Just like Long Shute and Gerrard said, Liverpool is in a hot state today. They are not afraid of any opponent, and they even look forward to meeting top teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Bayern, and Juventus earlier. win the championship.

But the result of the lottery made them a little disappointed:
Long Shute's old club is also the only opponent he doesn't want to meet-Bayern Munich was drawn by Arsenal. Ancelotti must have been happy, and Wenger can concentrate on preparing for the league.

Paris was drawn by Barcelona, ​​and Neymar will turn against his former teammates, which is not a small thing to watch.

Real Madrid also did not meet Liverpool, and the defending champions were drawn to Naples. Real Madrid's general manager Jose Sanchez didn't seem worried at all.

Dortmund met Tottenham, and it was another two rounds of passionate collision.

Atletico Madrid and Leverkusen met on a narrow road. Atletico Madrid, which has been in excellent form in recent years, has almost locked a place in the quarterfinals.

Monaco met Leicester City. This is the weakest group No. [-] meets the weakest group No. [-]. It is recognized that the chickens are pecking at each other...

Groups G and H are free to match:
Juventus VS Porto, and Liverpool's opponent...is Sevilla! -
"Trash UEFA!"

"I want to play Real Madrid!"

"I want to play Bayern!"

"I'm going to teach Neymar a lesson!"

"I want to compete with the club king!"

After seeing the final draw results, a burst of strong resentment erupted in Liverpool's dressing room.

Rogers patted his chest happily:
"Sevilla is also a strong enemy. After all, we also spent a lot of effort to kill them in the Europa League. This time we must kill them to convince them!"
-
On August 12, the fourth round of the Premier League.

There was nothing special in this round. Long Shute had 5 goals and 1 pass. Liverpool swept Middlesbrough 8-0 away.

After the game, all Liverpool club staff were invited to the team's Christmas party.

Compared with a year ago, the scale of Christmas in 2016 is larger and the content of activities is more abundant. The club even invited 100 diehard fans from all over the world to participate in this grand event.

Liverpool even sold the exclusive broadcast rights of the banquet to a certain video website, and with some sponsorship, they earned a small amount of hundreds of thousands of pounds, and easily recouped the cost of the banquet...

"Dragon," said Gerrard, raising the goblet in his hand, "thank you for everything you have done for this club."

Long Shute raised his glass with a smile, and touched the old captain lightly:
"And thank you for finally accepting my invitation, Steven."

Reflecting the fine wine in the glass, Gerrard seemed to have waves rippling in his eyes:
"The one who should say thank you is me..."
-
"UNBELIEVABLE! SIX-NIL! Unbelievable! 6-0! Liverpool beat Everton with six goals cleanly in the away game! Known as the most intense Merseyside derby in England, it ended with the overwhelming victory of the Red Army !"

"Long Shute has once again become the hero of the Red Army! Four goals and one pass! If it weren't for the terrible shooting skills of Salah and Mane, Toffee might even score ten goals!"

"UNSTOPPABLE! Unstoppable! Back at home Liverpool once again performed a massacre to their fans at Anfield! 7-1! Stoke City should probably be happy because they are in hell like Anfield... ...and even scored a goal!"

"On the first night after Christmas, Long Shute seemed to have weak legs. Maybe his little Emma witch made him unable to do what he wanted? After 90 minutes, the omnipotent Long Shute only handed over The data of three goals and two assists, for those harsh critics, such data will only lower the scoring efficiency of Longshut's average of 5.34 goals per game..."

……

In the two league rounds around Christmas, Liverpool, which adopted a large-scale rotation, still undoubtedly won easily. Neither Everton nor Stoke City could stop their progress.

But maybe, as Gary Lineker said, Emma Watson, who was back on vacation in the UK, seems to have really affected Long's scoring efficiency, anyway... His average number of goals per game has changed from 5.34 The ball plummeted to 5.27. If you count the national team's data, it has dropped from 5.18 to 5.06. It is about to fall below 5 goals per game!

This is simply too dangerous!
Long Shute vowed that he must defend his average of 5 goals per game, so he cheered up and prepared to meet the next opponent.

On December 12, the last day of 31, Anfield Stadium is about to usher in the opponents of the 2016th round of the league.

Manchester City is currently ranked third in the league and has the No.1 coach in the world, Josep Guardiola's Blue Moon.

This is not a rookie who is suitable for scoring points!
