ps, well... today is five updates! Five updates!! Asking for monthly tickets!

No matter how the media炒作 this matter, the game came as scheduled.

At the Helong Stadium, famous in Changsha, the Chinese team welcomed Liverpool as the home team.

Chen Hero didn't want to give the Football Association any face, but he found that there was also someone who was unwilling to give the Football Association face, and that was the team's coach, Dalglish.

Before the game started, the "King" said murderously in the locker room: "I'm telling you this now, and I hope you don't tell anyone else..." He used this as an opening remark, because he was afraid that the players would spread the word, and if the Chinese media knew about it, it would inevitably cause some disputes.

"In the last game, you won 4:3 against your opponent. Honestly, are you satisfied?"

A group of people looked at each other, a little unsure of what the boss meant. Isn't this just a commercial game? Everyone thought they were here for a vacation, so what's there to be satisfied with?

"It seems you don't understand, so I'll be honest with you, the domestic reaction to this game is not very favorable to us... You have to remember that we came to China not to make money! Making money is the job of the marketing department, we are here to play games, warm up, and find our form for the new season! Whether you are an old player or a new player, everyone must try to perform well. Your performance in the warm-up matches will be an important reference for your playing time in the new season!"

This was said very seriously. With this, everyone's expressions became serious. The relaxed smiles from before were gone.

In fact, he didn't need to say much more. After saying this, everyone understood - the boss was very dissatisfied with their performance in the last game, especially on defense. Speaking of which, playing against a Chinese team and almost being tied...

It seems that everyone will have to go all out in this game.

There's no way not to go all out, England is watching...

Besides, although they came out for a commercial game, they would feel ashamed if they performed too poorly. They just hadn't realized it before, but now that the coach mentioned it, everyone knew.

***

At the press conference the day before the game, a reporter asked Gao Hongbo: "What is the guiding ideology of the Chinese team in this game?"

At that time, Gao Hongbo answered very modestly: "We are here to learn experience from one of the most successful teams in European football..."

However, in the locker room before the game, his words were not humble at all.

"We must show the spirit of the Chinese team. We must dare to fight and dare to grab."

Someone raised his hand to speak, it was the team's defensive midfielder Yang Hao: "Gao zhi, what if they get injured if we grab too fiercely?"

Many people nodded in agreement.

This was their biggest concern. If the keynote of this game was to be nice to each other, then that would be fine.

But now, listening to the coach's words, the meaning is... to fight Liverpool to the death!

Then the situation would be different. They are a powerhouse, big-name stars, what if they get injured? Wouldn't that be a bad influence?

Five years ago, Zhang Wei broke Cisse's leg in a friendly match against France before the World Cup, and that matter was quite unpleasant. The match was supposed to be a friendly exchange, but it turned into such a result...

Gao Hongbo shook his head: "This is a soccer game, and victory is the only result we pursue. As long as it's not a deliberate foul, and you don't just aim for their ankles and knees, I'm just telling you to be tougher when defending, and don't hold back just because the other side are big-name players. In the past two years, how have you played in the warm-up matches? Just play the same way this time."

This was his last warm-up match as the coach of the Chinese team, and he naturally hoped to have a good ending.

Chen Guofeng saw Chen Hero again.

After just finishing the game against Evergrande, he came to the national team to report, participate in training, and prepare for the match against Laos on the twenty-eighth.

This time, he and Chen Hero both started.

"Liverpool has sent out their entire starting lineup in the first half! It can be seen that Dalglish attaches great importance to this game!" The commentator's voice was a little excited.

The commentator from CCTV for this game was Liu Jianhong again. He really didn't expect to meet Chen Hero again so soon. He had thought that the last game of the Serie A season would be the last time he commentated on Hero's game.

The fans at the scene were very excited to see Liverpool send out their full lineup, and the cheers from the stands didn't stop.

Especially Chen Hero starting again made the fans very happy.

The Chinese team also sent out their main players.

Because Camacho wanted to inspect the Chinese team's players in this game, Gao Hongbo naturally had to send out his main players so that Camacho could see clearly. They couldn't mix the main players and substitutes, lest Camacho couldn't understand and put the substitutes in the main lineup.

However, no one would think that both sides sending out their main players meant they were going all out. Liverpool are all big-name stars, with delicate skin and precious flesh, and can't afford to be injured. The Chinese team can't afford to be injured even more. The match against Laos is coming up soon. Although Laos is not a strong opponent, no one wants to be absent due to injury. Who knows how long it will take to recover from an injury...

Judging from the media reports before the game, the atmosphere of this game was very peaceful. Both coaches modestly stated that this was a friendly match, and Gao Hongbo also said that he wanted to learn from Liverpool... He didn't know if he was讽刺 Liverpool. You know, these years have been Liverpool's low ebb. They haven't won a single championship, and they can't even participate in the Champions League. What is there to learn from such a team?

But from the first minute of the game, everyone felt that something was different...

***

"Liverpool's attack is very fierce..."

Five minutes later, Liu Jianhong also saw that, without any probing, Liverpool started the game according to their own rhythm.

Anyway, they kicked off first, so they could take the initiative into their own hands.

This time there was no probing. In fact, Liverpool's probing in the game against Evergrande was just out of habit. With the difference in strength between the two sides, if Liverpool took it seriously, there was no need to probe. Just play according to their own style of play, and the stronger side would naturally dominate, leading the weaker side by the nose.

This game was like that. Although the Chinese team is the national team, the strength of the national team is not necessarily stronger than that of the club. For example, the Brazilian national team probably wouldn't be able to beat Barcelona.

In the last game against Evergrande, on the one hand, the coach changed players frequently, causing everyone to not be able to cooperate well, and on the other hand, Liverpool actually had a sense of complacency, especially after leading 4:1, they felt that the game was over, and it was impossible for Evergrande to come back.

As a result, Evergrande almost made a comeback.

Now it was different. Coach Dalglish specifically told the players before the game not to underestimate the enemy and to go all out. They also played with their full lineup. Except for Gerrard and Suarez, they were basically the main lineup from the second half of last season.

Only Chen Hero and Charlie Adam were new players.

Everyone had played together for a season, so they were very familiar with each other. They didn't need to say anything to play against the Chinese team, they just knew what to do - just play according to our style.

Liverpool's style of play is very simple, with a lot of long passes. Dalglish's tactical thinking is still relatively conservative, leaning towards traditional English football.

But this suits Chen Hero's taste. The soccer ball is always flying in the air, and he feels no pressure at all.

"It looks like we can see Chen Hero's header skills in this game!" A fan said excitedly in the stands.

***

The starting center backs for the Chinese team in this game were Du Zexing and Feng Tangming. These two are the main center back configuration of the current Chinese national team.

However, both of them seemed powerless in front of Chen Hero.

Feng Tangming's height can't be compared with Chen Hero's, and Du Zexing is the person whose height is closest to Chen Hero's, but his body is not as strong as Chen Hero's.

He once competed with Chen Hero for a header. The two jumped at the same time. Du Zexing even had a slight advantage in position. However, when the two jumped up, Chen Hero used his physical advantage to forcibly squeeze Du Zexing away in the air, grabbing the landing point and forming a header. The soccer ball eventually flew out, scraping the post, making many people happy for nothing, and of course, scaring some people into a cold sweat.

Du Zexing shook his head at Feng Tangming, meaning that he couldn't compete with that kid, his body was too strong!

***

Liverpool's aerial ball tactics worked quickly.

In the twentieth minute, Chen Hero headed the ball, this time he accurately hit the frame, forcing goalkeeper Yang Zhi to make a very difficult save.

This save was wonderful, but it also caused Yang Zhi to lose all his balance. After falling from the air, he couldn't even climb up in time to make a second save.

Bellamy, who followed up, swept the soccer ball into the empty net, and Liverpool took the lead!

A burst of cheers rang out in the stands, but this time there were not as many people cheering as there were at Tianhe Stadium. After all, their own country's team was behind, which was not a good thing. Even if it was a warm-up match, a commercial match, Chinese fans still hoped that the national team would perform well.

Falling behind could lead to losing the game, and who wants to see their supported team lose?

This was different from the situation in Guangzhou. For the locals in Guangzhou, Evergrande is the main team to support, but for most other people, it is not, so no one cares whether Evergrande wins or loses. The Chinese team is different, this also involves a matter of "patriotic feelings."

***

When Bellamy scored, Chen Hero heard not-so-loud cheers, and knew that this time the home team was really the Chinese team, not them Liverpool. Even with him in the Liverpool team, there was no way to reverse this situation. Maybe the cheers would be louder after he scored? But it wouldn't be much louder.

Sure enough, Chinese fans don't necessarily want the Chinese team to lose...

But, today, the Chinese team must lose this game, and they must be defeated badly!

ps, friendly advertisement:

Yesterday, one of my readers found me and said that he wrote a soccer novel on Qidian, but the clicks, recommendations, and collections were very bleak. The reason is because it starts in China. He hopes that I can recommend him so that he can have some popularity.

I went to take a look. Because of time, I only read a dozen chapters. The writing style is very interesting, and based on my shallow life experience, it is written quite realistically. But as he said himself, it starts in China, and it teaches a group of children under the age of fourteen...

This story is really not pleasing.

The poor results are also normal, so I told him my views.

I promised to recommend him to allow more people to read it. If he is not writing to make money, I hope he can persevere and finish it, after all, there are not many competitive novels of this type on Qidian now.

I can see from the text that he is a person with ideas and perseverance, so in order not to disappoint such a person who insists on writing for his dreams, I still hope that everyone can collect it, go and take a look, and vote.

Just consider it an encouragement to him.
