At seventeen, I went to Spain to win the World Cup

Chapter 161

"The latest news, Firmino and Lin Chen will miss the 26th round of the Premier League due to minor injuries. "

"Sky Sports exclusive, Lin Chen's knee is slightly swollen, nothing serious, and is expected to miss a week. "

"Firmino thought he had a fracture, but after the team doctor's examination, it was confirmed that it was a scratch, and was laughed at by his teammates. "

"Barnett sued the drunk driver and is expected to be severely punished! "

Early the next morning, Lin Chen's phone blew up.

Countless phone messages poured in, all asking if he was injured.

Lin Dapao: "Are you okay? I saw the photos on Sky Sports. You and Firmino were sitting on the sidelines chatting. You should be fine, right?"

Lin's mother: "Tell your kid to be safe. You've been worrying me since you were a child!"

Klopp: "Lin, the team doctor's examination results are out. There is no substantial injury. You will take a rest in the next game. It's just right to recover."

...

After the accident that night, the Liverpool team doctor arrived even earlier than the ambulance, and then took the two to the club for examination. Fortunately, there was nothing serious.

The driver who lost control of the drunk driving was arrested by the police, and everything was settled.

Unable to play in the 26th round of the Premier League, Lin Chen and Firmino were bored.

The two stayed in the club, enjoying the massage of the beautiful physiotherapist, chatting and watching the game.

In the 26th round of the Premier League, Liverpool went to challenge Huddersfield away.

Fans said that Huddersfield was the first Premier League team to prepare for the Championship because they have been hard to win so far this season.

March 6, Sky Sports commentary room.

"Uh..."

Gerrard held Huddersfield's data.

"Huddersfield has played 25 league games so far this season, tied 9 games, lost 16 games, and currently ranks last with 9 points."

"Klopp also arranged a full rotation lineup in this game to give the main players enough rest."

The live camera was now on the Liverpool bench on the sidelines.

Salah, Mane, Lovren and others were all sitting on the bench, watching the performance of the young players on the field.

And Lin Chen and Firmino were enjoying massages in the physiotherapy room at this time, discussing what to eat in the evening.

"Lin, my friend found a chef who is said to be very good at making eggs. Come to my house tonight to make a full egg feast. Do you want to come with us?"

"Salah will also come, and Richarlison, my Brazilian fellow."

Lin Chen nodded and said, "No problem, let him prepare more eggs, I'm going to eat you up."

Firmino laughed.

At this time, the game on the field has already begun. Huddersfield faced Liverpool, and even Liverpool, who had fully rotated, had no ability to resist.

From the first minute of the game, they were pressed to the ground by Liverpool.

Wijnaldum started and led the team, performing well, showing his superb ball control ability, and his condition is getting better and better.

"From the performance in these few games, I think Klopp is likely to let Wijnaldum replace Emre Can, partner with Henderson and Lin Chen."

As Coach Can was talking, Liverpool pressed to the left side of Huddersfield's defensive third zone again.

Moreno directly kicked the cross, and the precise landing point found Wijnaldum who inserted from behind, and the latter headed the ball into the goal!

"Beautiful, my brother!"

Lin Chen punched Wijnaldum to celebrate. Although the two had a grudge before, after Klopp talked to him, Wijnaldum immediately found Lin Chen and explained his grudge.

Afterwards, he actively interacted with Lin Chen on social networks and praised Lin Chen's performance. The relationship between the two has improved.

The game resumed, and Liverpool, who was leading by one goal, played more steadily.

In the 60th minute of the second half, the young player Ennery headed the ball into the goal, and the final score was 2-0!

Liverpool relied on simple long passes and crosses to defeat Huddersfield and won the 26th round of the Premier League.

On the other side, Manchester City defeated Southampton 3:1 and continued to catch up with Liverpool.

Lin Chen and Firmino got enough rest time and their injuries gradually recovered.

On March 8, the two returned to training at the same time and began to prepare for the 27th round of the Premier League, against Southampton.

The outside world was hyping the ownership of the Premier League champion this season. Sky Sports published the front-page headline and posted the real-time Premier League standings.

In addition to the top two Liverpool and Manchester City, Chelsea ranked third, Arsenal ranked fourth, Manchester United ranked fifth and Tottenham ranked sixth, at most they can only fight for the top four, that is, to obtain the remaining two Champions League qualifications.

On March 11, the 27th round of the Premier League is about to start.

At 4 pm, the sun was shining, and all major live broadcast rooms opened on time.In the Sky Sports live broadcast room, commentator F4 held the game data of the two teams' recent five games.

"Southampton just lost to Manchester City, and then they will face Liverpool. This is their third time facing Liverpool this season."

"In the last FA Cup knockout, Southampton also lost to Liverpool."

"The Southampton coach said in the pre-match press conference that the team is in a revenge battle this time. Southampton does not want to be killed by Liverpool three times. This is an extremely shameful thing."

Gerrard looked at a player in the Southampton team.

"Recently, a player in the Southampton team has performed very well. It was also his direct free kick against Manchester City that saved the team's dignity."

Gerrard was talking about Southampton's Ward-Prowse, who was called Mr. Pu by Chinese fans. He has a strong foundation in free kicks and is good at hitting free kicks with arcs and fast speeds.

At this time, Klopp was also talking to Mignolet in the Liverpool locker room.

"When arranging the wall, try to arrange it on your right side. Ward's success rate in hitting the left side of the goal is relatively low."

This is the result of the team's careful study.

Half an hour later, both sides started the game. Lin Chen sat on the bench. Klopp did not let him start in case of emergency.

However, only five minutes later.

"Ward-Prowse broke through and made a foul. He will take the free kick at the top of the penalty area!"

"Hit it directly!"

"Oh!!!"

"A wonderful arc!"

"Ward-Prowse scored a free kick. He is worthy of being a free kick master!"

"Beautiful shot!"

"Liverpool fell behind 0:1 at Anfield at home. Southampton scored first!"

After scoring first, Southampton immediately retreated and set up a solid defense. Liverpool tried to counterattack, but could not find a chance to score.

The game time passed quickly.

Liverpool fans were very dissatisfied. Klopp fell into deep thought on the sidelines. He knew he had to make adjustments earlier.

Because Southampton has a one-goal advantage, and Liverpool's goal must be to take all three points. Even if they are tied, Manchester City will have the opportunity to overtake them.

The 30th minute of the game!

"A long pass from the wing, Arnold wants to find Salah."

"Get the ball and cut inside, pass one!"

"Salah continues to walk to the middle, and is knocked down at the top of the penalty area!"

"Højbjerg fouled and knocked down Salah. He can't let Salah keep cutting inside like this!"

Liverpool got a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt.

Just when the fans were guessing who would take the penalty, the fourth official on the sidelines suddenly raised the substitution card.

Klopp wanted to make a substitution in the first half, which is very rare in football games.

And all eyes were focused on the substitution.

Lin Chen, wearing a red jersey, chewed gum, and his face was full of relief.

Klopp hugged him and whispered.

"Let them see what a free kick master is!"
