Green Dragon

Chapter 84 Angry Youth
Steven Gerrard was standing in the middle of the Amsterdam Stadium.

With his hands on his waist, he lowered his head feebly.

He raised his eyes slightly, and the wrinkles on his forehead became more obvious.

In the stands is a large area of ​​bright red surging like a tide, but it is not for their team.

Looking at the teammates around: Mascherano, Agger, Skrtel, Insua, Benayoun, Cavalieri who came off the bench for Wannian, Darby, Dossena, Torres who came off the bench, Aurelio, and Pacheco who temporarily fell into the first team from the youth training team...

Gerald's mouth was full of bitterness.

This is the Champions League, the most glorious stage for the Red Army since the 21st century, but now it has become a game for training substitute players and U18 players?

Although, the possibility of qualifying has long since disappeared...

Although the Premier League is about to enter the devil's schedule...

Although, the team needs to preserve their stamina...

But... who would have thought that Liverpool, the majestic Red Army, would surrender humiliatingly in front of the Dutch team without a fight? ! -
"The game is over, this ending may have been doomed from the beginning..."

De Kool of Dutch TV shook his head. He was a little disappointed that he could not see a passionate confrontation:
"Three goals from Suarez, Vertonghen, and Emmanuel Nursen completely defeated Liverpool, which had no fighting spirit. The Red Army only succeeded in a surprise attack by Benayoun after the start of the second half and scored a goal to save face. , there is no other chance..."

"This Liverpool team can't see the figure that staged the miracle in Istanbul," the commentator Yang Sen repeatedly sighed, "It's really unimaginable, this will be a team led by Benitez! Last season's runner-up in the league let everyone I thought that the Spanish coach's transformation of the team was close to perfection, and they could launch the most powerful charge towards the championship this season, but the cruel reality told everyone that Benitez failed, and he was eliminated in the Champions League group stage. It’s all the way down to ninth in the standings, even Birmingham, Aston Villa, Sunderland and the like are riding on them! This season, Liverpool is doomed to lose all four! Benitez’s road to coach the Red Army is coming to an end!”
-
"We were very unlucky this season, the departure of Alonso and some players forced us to adapt to a new way of playing..."

Benitez almost read a manuscript, pushing away the reasons for his failure, and then he left the press conference without looking back, leaving only Van Basten and Long Special.

Van Basten abided by the previous agreement and sat down on the rostrum with the Chinese teenager who was as active as ever in this game.

"That's why I hate utilitarian football so much," the Ajax coach fired a cannon just after sitting down, "They turned what should have been a wonderful Champions League game into a training match where one side attacks and the other side defends! The strength of Liverpool's players, as long as they go all out, no matter where they are, they will not be as defenseless as they are today!"

The reporters immediately became excited.

They were already clacking away on their laptops.

"Rage to Benitez! Van Basten has no grace!"

"Liverpool surrendered without a fight! The furious man turned out to be him!"

"Die on your knees! Liverpool has lost all face in the Premier League!"

"Istanbul used all the luck, Benitez stepped down from the altar!"

"The Red Army has fallen! Since then, there will be no strong team!"

"Give up the Champions League for the league? When will Benitez's fig leaf be used?"

"There was not a single fan of the visiting team in the audience! Such a wealthy family is ashamed of others!"

"I miss Alonso! Why can't the majestic Red Army retain its core players?"

"Heroes have no tears tonight! Gerald looked up to the sky and sighed, so what?!"

They happily rushed to the manuscript while listening to Van Basten continue to fire.

"I even think they are not as good as Debreson. At least the latter has maintained enough respect for the Champions League stage and their opponents. Although their strength is weak, they go all out in every game. When they finish six games, they can at least leave with their heads held high." Van Basten shrugged and pushed the microphone aside, "This is all my speech today, and the rest of the questioning session will be handed over to Long Shu special."

If possible, Van Basten really didn't want to deal with those unscrupulous media, so he directly threw power to his disciples.

The Chinese teenager looked at the dozens of reporters in the audience with a smile, and signaled the press officer to start.

"Netherlands Telegraph, Peter Leighton," is still the familiar young man, with his fluffy curly hair standing out in the front row, "when the draw for the group stage was held at the end of August, everyone thought that Aja Kex entered a death group, but in the end you and Lyon joined hands to qualify, can you tell me what the team did in these six games?"

This question is very general, but it is quite professional, at least a hundred times stronger than some reporters' questions like "Are you feeling very happy, excited, and want to thank your parents and the country" that some reporters asked.

Even Van Basten smiled and looked at his authorized spokesperson, wanting to hear his answer.

"It's actually very simple. If you take a look at the four qualifying matches in August, maybe you will understand," Long Shute said unhurriedly, "We almost fell off the cliff, but in the end We successfully climbed up. After such an arduous battle, we still had the last laugh. All of us were tempered and improved in that month of life-and-death trials, and we also gained unparalleled confidence. We are no better than any other team. Bad team, we can beat any opponent!"

"Excellent answer," reporter Layton nodded with a smile, "There is another question. Although Ajax won the game, Lyon also won a big victory, and they won the game with a goal difference. The advantage of ranking first in the group means that the second-ranked Ajax is bound to encounter super giants such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea in the knockout round. How do you feel? ? Or, which opponent do you want to draw more?"

"Hahaha, it's hard to answer your question. It's easy for other teams to think that I don't respect them." Long Shute was still not nervous. "After entering the knockout stage, all teams are quite strong. Which opponent, if you want to defeat them, you have to work ten times harder..."

Layton shrugged. He felt like he was dealing with a veteran who was about to retire, rather than a 19-year-old who had just signed a professional contract, because the opponent's answer seemed to have been memorized hundreds of times. standard answer!
However, Long Shute still did not disappoint him.

I just heard this little guy say: "If I have to pick an opponent, I hope it is the strongest one among these teams, because for me, these rich teams are all unfamiliar opponents, I hope I can Prove your worth to them."

"Thank you for your answer, and I wish you good luck." After getting the answer, Layton sat down with a smile.

……

The questioning session did not end so quickly. A press conference must have at least ten or eight questions to be considered in compliance with the regulations, otherwise it will be punished by FIFA.

Of course, as a Chinese player, Long Shute will of course take care of his compatriots, so Li Yifei got the qualification to ask questions at the last moment.

The female reporter who had just finished an exclusive interview stood up gracefully, her smile still a bit naturally charming.

"CCTV reporter, Li Yifei," she reported her family name as usual, and then asked questions in Chinese, "Since you officially participated in the game for the first time in April this year, you have gradually become an irreplaceable main player for Ajax. The fans in the Netherlands, Europe, and China are well-known, but you still have not received the call-up to the national team. What do you think is the reason? Is it because you feel that you are not strong enough? Or is it difficult to watch the Netherlands in China? League? Or something else? Can you talk about it?"

Long Shute smiled even more happily.

This was a topic he had communicated with Li Yifei in advance. He told the female reporter that he wanted to attract the attention of the national team through this live broadcast. The method of arrears was directly asked.

Not strong enough?

Can't see the Eredivisie in China?
You are so good at joking……

Long Shute spoke, but in English:

"Because my compatriot speaks Chinese, I will simply translate. Her question is...why the Chinese national team has never recruited me, is it because my strength is not up to the requirements of the Chinese national team?"

Those reporters were generally taken aback for a moment, and then the expressions on everyone's faces became extremely colorful, and some even couldn't help laughing out loud.

Are you kidding me?
The main players of the top 16 teams in the Champions League...can't meet the requirements of the mere Chinese team?

But some reporters were thoughtful:
That's right, the Chinese national team is not a fool. With Long Shute in such an excellent state, why not recruit him?
Long Shute's eyes were fixed on the camera with the CCTV logo not far away. He slowly took out his mobile phone from his pocket, found the recording of the call a few months ago, and leaned in front of the microphone. :
"I have a conversation here, maybe I can answer this question," he looked at other reporters, "Don't worry, the front is in Chinese, but I translated it again, please keep quiet."

Sure enough, the venue became quiet, only Li Yifei felt that something was wrong.

In their prior agreement... there was no mention of recording!

"Who are you?"

"My surname is Wei, Wei Guangjun...I am the leader of the national team..."

Li Yifei was taken aback. Her first reaction was to ask the cameraman not far away to turn off the camera, but she didn't get up in the end.

Although she is only a young front-line reporter, she is no stranger to the domestic situation. If... If there is really a shocking news here at Long Shute today, why don't you hold it in your own hands?

Anyway... Even if it is responsible, it is on Long Shute. This is a live broadcast, how can I control his mouth?

That recording was passed into the country.

Although it is already early morning, many people will always hear it, and when many people wake up, how far will this recording be spread through the highly developed network?
"If you're just entering the list, you can get 10. If you want to play, you can add 3. If you want to start...you can pay 20 at a time, which is the lowest price..."

"Leader Wei..."

"Oh?"

"Get lost!"

When the Chinese and English recordings were played, the smile on Long Shute's face had turned into anger and sadness.

Like a soldier who wants to serve his country, but finds that he cannot find a country for which he can die.

What he said after that is no longer important.

Because he had already thrown the bomb in his hand.

Throw it into the rotten and smelly pool of stagnant water.
-
Li Yifei looked at Long Shute with extremely complicated eyes.

With Long Shute's IQ, he can definitely imagine the consequences of publishing this recording. This is not just an expression of dissatisfaction with Team Leader Wei alone.

With Li Yifei's experience, she doesn't understand why this young man wants to attack the most powerful organization in Chinese football!
You played very well at Ajax, even if you don't join the national team, you can still eat well... Why do such stupid things!
As long as you can maintain the current competitive state, within a year or so, the bureaucrats of the national team will definitely not be able to stand the influence of public opinion, even if it is a symbolic expression, they will let you enter the national team...

But if you announce it now, it is equivalent to making an enemy of the entire organization!

Even if the leadership of the organization is completely changed, the newcomers... how dare they sincerely reuse a person who doesn't understand the rules?
I know you are very angry, but your anger has already burned to yourself!
