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

Chapter 184

"Jess, give me a portion of mashed potatoes, a small piece of steak, and two eggs. They must be the delicious eggs."

At noon on April 4, Lin Chen finished training and rushed to the cafeteria to prepare for a hearty meal.

"How can there be so many delicious eggs?" Chef Jess waved the soup spoon in his hand.

"And you can only eat one today, because Firmino just ransacked the kitchen and took away three eggs, leaving only one boiled egg."

Lin Chen was shocked.

"What?!"

"Taking my eggs is like cutting off my limbs!"

"Little thief Firmino, take your life!!!"

At the second table on the left side of the cafeteria, Firmino was thinking about how to stuff three eggs into his mouth at the same time.

He was worried that when he chewed an egg, Lin Chen would take away the remaining eggs, so it was safest to eat three in one go.

Klopp, who was sitting opposite, took advantage of Firmino's inattention and quietly took an egg and put it in Lin Chen's plate.

Mane, who was standing by, saw it clearly, smiled and shook his head, saying, "Klopp, you still love him so much."

"Firmino, don't forget the club's rule of eating less and more often. Your cholesterol can't stand eating three eggs."

Klopp smiled and patted Firmino, and left immediately.

The players are preparing for the upcoming FA Cup quarter-finals. If they win, Liverpool will advance to the FA Cup semi-finals and fight for the final FA Cup championship.

Since the players' physical strength has been greatly consumed by the consecutive tough battles, Klopp does not intend to send the main lineup in this quarter-final, although Kravitz thinks it is risky.

"Boss, we have reached the quarter-finals. If we lose the rotation lineup, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Losing a hope of winning the championship at this moment is likely to hit the morale of the players."

Klopp has not considered this aspect, but he is more worried about the physical condition of the players, especially the young Lin Chen, whose muscle fatigue has been high.

A good horse overused when young will become a donkey, and a good donkey overused when young will become a mule. This is an eternal truth.

Therefore, Klopp slammed the table and decided to send a rotation lineup!

April 5th, the sun was shining brightly.

At the Crystal Palace Stadium, the warm sun shone on the scoreboard in the live broadcast room. At this time, the game time was the 11th minute.

Neither side scored a goal. The live camera gave a close-up of Liverpool's bench. The luxurious substitute lineup, the players were divided into two rows and sat in front and back to watch the game on the field.

"Dear fans, what you are seeing now is Liverpool's luxurious substitute lineup for this game."

"Salah, Firmino, Lin Chen, Henderson, Arnold, Robertson, etc., all sitting on the bench!"

"The FA Cup quarter-finals are underway, Liverpool vs. Crystal Palace, the winner will become the FA Cup semi-finals!"

"Crystal Palace relied on physical confrontation and defense all the way and appeared here perfectly."

"They want to create a miracle, but they need to step over Liverpool first!"

The 16th minute of the game!

"It's the wall in the middle again, MacArthur rushes to grab the ball, Wijnaldum has the ball, but Kabaye is behind him."

"He was knocked down directly!"

"The referee whistled for a foul, and Kabaye received a verbal warning."

"Liverpool wanted to penetrate the middle, but Crystal Palace relied on the advantage of physical confrontation to stop Liverpool's offensive routine. Their defense was very effective."

As Wijnaldum was knocked down, the live camera immediately gave to Lin Chen on the bench, who was chewing gum and looked relaxed.

"Cabaye can only jump a few times when Lin is not on the field."

"I, Lin Chen, have fought for so long, what's wrong with enjoying it!"

"Does Liverpool want to give up the FA Cup championship by making such a large rotation?"

"Don't talk nonsense, the person above, rotating players is also very important in a multi-champion team. We must remain confident in Liverpool's rotation lineup."

The leading players on the field of Liverpool are Milner and Lallana, as well as Chamberlain on the wing.

Wijnaldum is responsible for controlling the rhythm and helping the team to stabilize the ball.

Milner dribbled the ball forward and frequently played beautiful passes and cuts with Chamberlain on the wing.

Crystal Palace was able to stop Liverpool through physical confrontation at the beginning, but gradually Chamberlain began to explode!

He and Liverpool repeatedly played beautiful team cooperation and looked for offensive opportunities little by little.

"Chamberlain is a player with great potential."

"He was once selected as one of the top ten most anticipated new stars along with Pogba."

40th minute of the game!

"Wijnaldum's fried meatballs break through Luca!Continue to cut inside!"

"Pass the ball diagonally to the left, Chamberlain receives the ball from the side!"

"Inverted triangle! Milner's chance!"

"Dribble the ball, turn around, and shoot!"

"Beautiful! This ball is in!"

"Milner and Chamberlain complete the connection, shoot and score, helping Liverpool open the scoring and take the lead!"

After scoring a goal, Liverpool began to stabilize the rhythm.

In the 60th minute of the second half, Wijnaldum scored again with a header from a corner kick, changing the score to 2-0!

Crystal Palace fell behind by two goals and was forced to start a large-scale attack. Old coach Hodgson made substitutions.

"Lovrenzik is going to play, which is to continue to strengthen the midfield's driving force. Crystal Palace wants to press forward! ”

Although a signal of a massive attack was clearly released, no fans at Crystal Palace’s home stadium cheered or applauded to cheer for the team.

Because next to Chie, who was about to play, Klopp was hugging a figure, obviously explaining the tactical changes, and then patted his butt to let him play.

Cheek turned his head and saw a gentle young man smiling innocently at him.

Crystal Palace fans sent barrages in despair.

"You still play Lin after leading by two goals? You can't afford it, right!"

"After you have been playing hard for 60 minutes, the opponent replaced him with a human tank..."

"Cheek must hope that he can return to the bench immediately. It's better to sit on the court than to play against Lin Chen!"
