711. What about the power of oneself?
"If there were no dragons, Liverpool would most likely not be able to escape from Spain!"
"We could have won a home game!"
"But the other party has a dragon!"
"Liverpool is not a real whole, he is a team alone!"
Local Spanish media made such comments after the game.
Although it has a sour taste, even Long Shute himself cannot deny this.
Among the five Liverpool goals, he scored 4 of them, and the other one also came from his powerful shot and was saved. Sturridge was just a bargain in front of the goal...
Without the outstanding performance of the Red Army Captain, Rogers and his disciples would have to get a draw at most!

Long Shute won many praises and received many negative voices without surprise after saving the team in the league and the Europa League.
"I can't imagine that modern football has developed to such a level that there is a team that will rely on a player so much!"
"Barcelona has MSN, Real Madrid has BBC, Bayern has many superstars such as Lewandowski, Ribery and Robben, but Liverpool only has one dragon special!"
"The existence of Longshute may not be a good thing for Liverpool. He can bring one or two championship trophys to the team, but he undoubtedly destroyed Liverpool's foundation!"
"Look at AC Milan. They were incredible in the 13-14 season, but when Long Shute was seriously injured, Milan in the 14-15 season could only be empty! If a team wants to develop healthily, they must not put all their hopes on one player!"
"If you want to truly achieve a period of dynasty, you still have to learn from our Lamacia. This is the strongest way!"
-
What they said seemed to be wrong, because the next game soon proved that Liverpool really cannot leave Longshute now.
On the third day after returning to the British Isles, Liverpool went to Wales without stopping, and the 36th round of the league officially started.
The opponent they challenged was Swansea, which was defeated by Leicester City 4-0 in the last round, Swansea.
This is the team that officially started in Rodgers's coaching career, and it is also the place that has attracted attention and praise - Swansea, who was coached by Luo Tiancai, was once known as the "Barcelona of the Premier League" because of his advocacy of delicate technical play.
Rodgers still has some feelings for this city and this team, so he arranged Long Shute on the bench "for personal gain" in public.
His reason is not new. After all, both games were away games, only two days apart, and there was still most of the day he was rushing. As the head coach, he didn't want to see the team's core being too tired.
What's more, Liverpool is 6 points ahead of Leicester City. With only 3 rounds left in the league (Liverpool still has one supplementary game), the advantage of 6 points is almost equivalent to booking the league championship!

But the facts prove that if you treat your old boss too mercilessly, you will definitely get retribution.
When the whistle sounded at the interval, Rogers' eyebrows had been pulled off by himself...
The score is 3-1, the home team is in front and the away team is in back.
That's right, the lineup he sent was indeed all substitutes, and there were even two youth training players in 1997, but... he didn't think he would lose so badly in front of his old club!
Swansea striker Ayu scored twice, midfielder Cork added icing on the cake, although Liverpool won a goal by Origi, but full-back Brad Smith, who just turned 22, received the second yellow card in 41 minutes. The Australian player who has been loaned for a long time had to end his hard-won first-team playing time...
Long Shute, sitting on the bench, looked at the teammate and couldn't help but shake his head.
He is already 22 years old, but he can't see much potential, and he can't even play in the third-level League One. In this summer, you can consider cleaning him out, right?
Like Smith, he was also on the cleaning list by Long Shute. The Spanish young player Pedro Chi Rivera, who was under 19 years old. Although his skills are good, his figure is even thinner than Joe Allen. Even in front of Swansea, who does not advocate physical confrontation, it is difficult to maintain the ball...
Not every Spanish player can gain a foothold in England like Mata. More players who come to the Premier League from Europe will feel a little unacceptable, let alone just a young boy.
The local defender Branagan (not Flanagan), born in 1996, and the local striker Ocho, born in 1997, seem to be unable to reach the Liverpool first-team - but after all, it is a local youth training and can also be used to make up for individuals when registering a player, so they will not be directly cleaned yet. When they are over 22 years old, if they still have no potential, 90% will be directly terminated.
Sometimes, Long Shute really envies Manchester United. Although the booming glory of Class 92 is unlikely to continue under the background of modern football, their youth training echelons can still deliver some high-quality young players.
For example, "Belgian Bell" Januzai, British Emperor star Lingard, Van Gaal's former life-extending magic weapon, and even today's Juventus midfielder Pogba...
Of course, this is also related to Manchester United's strategy of limelighting in small monsters, but Liverpool has definitely done the same thing, but there are not enough demons who can make people shine. The most commendable and regrettable youth training player in recent years is Sterling, who has switched to Manchester City.
Seeing that a bunch of young players were unreliable, Rodgers decisively replaced the three main players of Long Shute, Bentek, and Lovren after the break, and used them to lift the team's central axis.
Of course, the main players' appearance was extraordinary. Even if Liverpool had one less player to fight, Long Shute still led his teammates to overtake within 20 minutes.
Long Shute took the lead in scoring a hat-trick, plus an assist, Benteke and Bud made a contribution respectively. When the game ended, Swansea fans had to congratulate the former head coach on taking away three points at the free court.
The 7-3 score allowed Rodgers to put his hanging heart back into his stomach, and the players could also spend the post-match time happily on the bus back to Liverpool.
Players can listen to music, play games, and even cover their heads and take a nap, but Rogers can't do it so easily.
The head coach couldn't wait to turn on the in-car TV and watch the game that was already played in the average Leicester City.
The opponent in this round of Fox City...is Manchester United.
Manchester United and his city rival Manchester City ranked fifth and sixth in the standings, and only 2 points away from Arsenal, fourth-placed, and still retains the top four, thus gaining hopes of entering the Champions League ticket next season.
But Arsenal did not lose the chain. Wenger directed his disciples to defeat Norwich 1-0 and took the initiative of protecting the fourth place in his own hands.
Manchester City was in a bad situation. They lost 2-4 away to Southampton and almost withdrew from the ranks of four.
The tense atmosphere may be contagious, and Manchester United under Giggs' command failed to defeat their opponents. They lost 1-2 to Leicester City at Old Trafford!
“Fu*K…”
Rogers couldn't help but curse:
"In order to delay our winning streak, even if there is only a 1% chance... are they unwilling to let go?!"
Liverpool players who learned the results of the game online almost had the same attitude as the head coach.
They unanimously agreed that Manchester United has let the Leicester City go!
It is to make Liverpool feel pressured, it is best to capsize all of them in the last three games!
But perhaps only Giggs knew that he didn't want to let go!
Chapter completed!
