"Michael, don't worry! I have to wait for the opportunity, and I will pass it on to you next time! ”

"I'll pay attention!"

"It was up to Joey just now, ahem, in fact, I also noticed that the opponent's central defender, which is Carragher, is going to go over and defend you, so ......"

“……”

Zhen Shaolong explained a lot of things in a row before he appeased the resentful Owen, and he was a little glad that during the game, the gaze of a large number of fans in the stands allowed "Privilege" to be activated, otherwise he really didn't know what to do.

Also, it's hard to 'lie' continuously.

Zhen Shaolong has always thought that he is the most honest person in the world, and he would say these things that sounded false in order to comfort his teammates, he could only let out a long sigh and put the blame on Kevin Keegan, "Blame the damn Keane, since he coached, he has almost brought me to ...... bad"

Owen was full of resentment.

The rest of his teammates were jealous of Barton.

The Newcastle United players were all around Barton, and they celebrated Barton's goal with a sour word, which was Barton's third, and his amazing hat-trick was indeed very much to celebrate.

"Barton, you're amazing! Tell me, what private transactions did you have with Zhen? He actually passed the ball to you continuously! ”

"I'm Zhen, and I'm acting strangely! It turned out to be an insider......"

"You're too flattered......"

"Three goals! It's all passed on to Zhen, if I were given the same opportunity......" Taylor remembered.

Milner did not hesitate to give him the fatal blow, "No matter how many chances you have, you won't be able to score!" As far as your footwork is concerned, don't shoot backwards, thank goodness for an oolong! ”

“SH-IT！”

Taylor was furious and chased after Milner.

The tone of the teammates can also be heard, they are too jealous of Barton, Barton scored three goals in the first half, it sounds like a great thing, but every goal is almost, Zhen Shaolong sent the ball to his feet.

It's been delivered more than three times!

Anyone who has noticed a team-mate is sure to count more than six times, or even more, and it was no surprise that Barton scored three goals.

They are envious and jealous!

Barton stood happily, listening to the sarcasm of his teammates, and didn't care at all, because he had scored three goals, and it even felt like a dream.

Hat-trick!

When was the last time you scored a hat-trick?

Barton carefully recalled, "A year ago? Two years ago? No, five years ago? Nor ...... Eight years ago? No way? But it doesn't seem to be. He recalls eight years ago, when he was promoted to the first team at Manchester City, and he didn't find a three-goal game.

Keep going!

"That's right! It seems to be when I was sixteen years old, and it was Manchester City's youth team...... Is it U-17 or U-19? ”

"Forgot!"

"But there must have been a game, playing on a turf with no spectators, like a regional league? Either a friendly against an amateur team from Manchester......"

"yes, I scored three goals!"

"The final score seems to be 7-0? No, 8 to 0? Not more than ten balls anyway......"

Barton finally had an idea.

Although the memory is very far away, it is still a memory after all, he did not expect that in his career, he could complete a hat-trick, or in the real Premier League, the opponent is still the powerful Liverpool.

The last time it was an unknown game, there was not even cheering around, and his teammates didn't care how many goals he scored.

Now it's St James' Park, the opponent is the mighty Liverpool, there are countless fans watching, there is also live TV that will broadcast the game to more fans, and more fans will see their hats.

Barton was so excited that it felt like a dream!

"Hahaha...... I, Joey Barton, will even be in the Premier League, one day to complete the trick hat, or against the most disgusting Liverpool! ”

Barton thought excitedly, grinning and almost shouting, he felt that he had reached the pinnacle of his career, there is an old Chinese saying, 'wealth does not return to the hometown, it is like a brocade at night', Barton's feelings are similar, he can't vent the joy of his heart if he doesn't do anything if he performs so well, he noticed Gerald who ran by.

Gerald happened to look over.

Barton immediately stretched out his hand to Gerrard, who was expecting to give a middle finger, but when he noticed that the referee seemed to be paying attention, he immediately turned into a thumbs up, and his face showed a look of "your performance is really good, I admire it very much".

Gerrard felt inexplicable, but he knew Barton was definitely not kind.

Really.

Barton immediately pointed his finger at himself, and the words seemed to become, "I'm the best one!" I scored three goals! ”

Gerald's face darkened, followed by some schadenfreude.

The referee ran over and asked Barton in a loud voice, "What are you doing!" ”

"Isn't it okay to give a thumbs up?"

Barton asked rhetorically.

The referee was speechless for a while, if the opponent raised the middle finger, he would definitely not hesitate to take out the card, at least a yellow card, but how to judge the thumb, he simply said, "Don't take others for fools, pay attention to your actions!" ”

Barton nodded and shrugged.

The other side.

Gerrard felt a little regretful when he saw that Barton didn't eat cards, and he was also holding his breath in his heart, the outside world was saying that the game would be a continuation of their fight, and he also saw it that way, but he didn't take Barton seriously at all.

He didn't look down on Patton.

There is a reason for this.

If it is a player in other positions, Gerrard will not directly 'look down', but Barton is also a midfielder in the middle, and he has entered the England national team once, and he only played as a substitute, and it is not easy to mix up playing time.

Later, Barton was simply kicked out of the national team, not only because of his skills and performance, but because Barton's personality was too bad, and the whole England team, along with the coach, the players, and even his former teammate David Beckham, were all offended.

The England team is a national football team, but it is not only about football, but also about people, such as Barton, a guy with a bad personality, is registered in the FA, and if you want to be selected for the national team again, individual performance is only one aspect, on the other hand, you need a manager who can tolerate him.

Technical strength.

Barton is a player in the same position as him, Gerrard feels that he is much stronger, he is the core midfielder of Liverpool, and he can be ranked at the top of the world level, what about Barton? It's just a normal midfielder.

The two are not on the same level.

But.

Things were completely different now, with Barton scoring three goals and completing a hat-trick.

If Gerrard couldn't have imagined it before the game started, and others said it as a joke, but it really happened in front of his eyes, and if the game ended here, he would definitely have lost the game to Barton.

Liverpool lost.

He also lost.

And then.

Gerald found that it was not as good as Barton, "This guy is lucky...... What a teammate! ”

"If Zhen were my teammate, I would be able to score three! No, four! Five ......"

"And even more!"

Gerrard thinks about Barton's chances, and feels a kind of jealousy in his heart, Barton's technical strength is not as good as him, but the opponent has an extremely good teammate who continues to create opportunities for him, it doesn't matter if he makes a mistake, he will soon have a second chance.

It's so unfair!

Gerrard felt that the battle between the two was like a 10,000-meter race, and he kept working hard, sweating and squeezing his physical strength, while the other party pedaled the bicycle with ease...... No, it's on a motorcycle!

Maybe a car?

Anyway, the contest between the two is completely unfair.

But no matter how unfair he is, he still has to face the reality, he is Liverpool's core midfielder, he is Liverpool's captain, he is also considered a spiritual pillar, he knows he has to take responsibility.

Right now!

Step up your game!

Give it your all!

Lead Liverpool to the game!

Steven Gerrard is indeed an extremely good player, his excellent mental quality is even beyond his personal level, and after the game restarted, he quickly adjusted his mentality, as if he was not affected to continue to work hard.

But.

Liverpool have to face up to the fact that it's not about them trying hard or not, Liverpool are not being suppressed at all, they have better stats on the pitch than Newcastle United, they have more attacks, time on the ball and even more shots on goal.

In this case, it is still lagging behind, and the problem lies in the efficiency of the frontcourt, which is precisely not what can be increased by hard work.

That's where Benitez feels helpless.

Benitez is recognized as a master of football tactics, his ability to read the game, is also very accurate, the current situation on the field, Liverpool played some advantages, away and Newcastle United, can play an advantage is enough to prove that the team is not bad, Gerrard's excellent performance, but also led Liverpool to control the midfield more tightly, just in terms of the situation, data, Liverpool has no reason to lag.

The problem now is that the offensive efficiency is not as good as people!

Who can be blamed for this?

Liverpool performed well, scoring a goal in the first half, which was also a very normal performance, but the opponent completed three goals.

Benitez couldn't help but look at the bench, his eyes locked on a figure--

Fernando Torres!

Torres has been recuperating long enough, and Liverpool have also played well during this time, but relying on Gerrard's performance, Torres is the most efficient player in the team.

"I can only let Torres play!"

Benitez decided to come down.

Benitez is not sure, the performance of the main players on the field is not bad, the main reason for falling behind is that the opponent's No. 13 Zhen Shaolong performed too well, and he kept making the ball to the forward line in the retreat position, and he almost held the ball to the goal line with his hand, "Zhen Shaolong's passing ability is so good, if he plays in the midfield, he will definitely become the most core player." ”

"No wonder......"

"He's shooting so accurate, the passing doesn't make sense!"

on the field.

The game was still raging, and Liverpool, under the leadership of Steven Gerrard, launched an offensive towards Newcastle United, which also challenged Newcastle United's defense.

Fortunately, time is running out.

In the continuous attack and counter-attack, time was quickly consumed, and after two minutes of stoppage time, the referee decisively blew the final whistle.

Both sides went into the locker room to rest.

Zhen Shaolong walked all the way, talking to his teammates about the game, and they were all talking about Barton's goal, and Barton became the core of everyone.

Barton was modest, "Nothing! ”

"It's all the boss's fault! The boss's pass was fantastic! I feel like I can score the ball just by running forward! ”

Zhen Shaolong was immediately very pleased.

Owen was like a fly all the way, repeating, "Zhen! I also think you are the boss, you must pass the ball to me! ”

"I want to score too!"

"Boss ......"

Zhen Shaolong felt very helpless, he simply didn't talk to Owen much, and carefully checked the system information.

The task has been accomplished.

The mission requirement is three goals, and when Barton's number of goals is achieved, the mission is naturally over.

It's a bit of a pity.

"Dream Relay is a good skill! It would be nice to be able to use the whole game, Barton's shot is not very good, but the skill is strong, putting the ball in front of him, and the chances of scoring are high. ”

Meantime.

Zhen Shaolong was still a little lucky.

He had previously considered whether he would continue to pass the ball to Barton if the mission was not completed.

Zhen Shaolong doesn't care much about one or two goals, but he is not used to passing the ball to his teammates continuously, the goal must be his best, the goal data is still secondary, what is the best scorer and the like, he doesn't pay attention to it at all.

Top scorer?

What's the point?

Leading the team to win is the most important thing, the Premier League Golden Boot, the European Golden Boot and so on...... He didn't like it at all.

Mainly......

One goal equals £100,000 and it would be a shame to give it to Barton.

"Fortunately, it's done, so there's no need to worry about it...... So let Barton retreat in the second half, right? The game is back to normal! ”

Zhen Shaolong made a decision.

The other side.

The Liverpool players all looked at Benitez in the middle, and Benitez was emphasizing the focus of the second half, "Don't let Zhen Shaolong get up easily!" ”

'You can all see that he's dropped back and kept giving the ball to the front line! They even let Barton play as a striker! ”

This is where I don't understand.

If Zhen Shaolong's position is withdrawn, wouldn't it be better to let Martins play?

Of course.

That's not what Liverpool are thinking about.

Now they are facing the problem of Zhen Shaolong's continuous forward passes, Benitez continued to emphasize, "Always be careful, don't let him get up easily, and we must also pay attention to the defense of Owen and Barton, we must also pay attention to the penalty area, even if Zhen Shaolong's pass is accurate, as long as they hold their forwards, they have no way to ......"

"Be sure to remember!"

Benitez repeated it repeatedly.

The Liverpool players also nodded seriously, they were determined to defend seriously, Zhen Shaolong is indeed difficult to restrict, but Owen, Barton? They don't take it to heart at all, as long as they are serious, they will definitely be able to keep these two guys!

Then the goal will be worry-free! 8)
