Pre-game.

Zhen Shaolong only did one thing, which was to constantly consume brain cells to figure out how to use temporary skills.

This is important.

Temporary skills come very suddenly, most of them can only be used once, if you want to play an effect in the game, you must also think about how to use it in advance, so that you can use it more smoothly in the game, increase the efficiency of using skills, and better complete the task.

The new temporary skill is "Dream Pass", and the effect is to create an opportunity for the target of the designated teammate, and the ball kicked can achieve the imaginary effect, and the designated team is the object of the mission.

Joey Barton.

The description of "Dream Pass" is somewhat similar to "Dreams Come True", the latter effect is definitely better, it can be said that as long as the conditions are met, how to play as you want, "Dream Pass" is a passing skill, the first premise is to be able to get the ball, and the purpose of playing is also to create opportunities for the task object, rather than sending the ball into the goal individually.

"Dream Pass" also has an advantage, that is, there is no pre-activation condition, as long as you get the ball, you can use it.

Zhen Shaolong felt that there was still a 'power limit'.

For example, if he gets the ball in front of his own goal, the position of the task object is in the opponent's goal, and the distance is more than 100 meters, and it is impossible to pass it over no matter how dreamy it is, unless he evolves into a superman who wears pants and pants.

"It should be the right pass!"

"It's a little closer, within thirty meters is almost enough!"

"There will be some special effects too? Like, arcs? Or can the ball bounce back to Barton's feet? ”

“……”

Zhen Shaolong kept thinking.

The game is approaching.

Newcastle United's training ground, located right next to St James' Park, has an 'inside lane' that leads directly to the training ground, which is certainly not open to fans, but players can enter the pitch from the trail, they don't even need to enter the pitch together.

Zhen Shaolong and Joey Barton went to the stadium together, and when they passed by the edge of the mixed zone inside, they found several reporters shouting and waving from afar.

Zhen Shaolong ignored it.

Joey Barton walked over with considerable interest, his hideous cheeks and defiant eyes made people feel a little vicious, and he didn't wait for a question in front of the reporter, he said directly, "You must want to ask me about Gerald, right?" ”

"That's right! We're hands-on! ”

"The reason is actually not that complicated, because he is jealous of my looks, the whole world knows that I am the most handsome man in England, and the girls in the pub like me!"

"He's jealous!"

Zhen Shaolong followed behind Patton, and almost spurted blood when he heard Patton's speech.

Barton has always liked to say that.

He said that he was the first man in charge in England, more handsome than the 'heartthrob' Beckham, and he was also popular with women, and there was a famous saying, "If I go to Spain, Beckham will only be the second coach of the English." ”

Now Barton spoke again.

Not to mention that Zhen Shaolong felt that his ears were about to explode, the reporters around him who heard this sentence all had an urge to vomit blood when they looked at Patton's hideous face and provocative expression, Patton didn't take it seriously at all, he turned his head to look at Zhen Shaolong, and immediately added, "Of course, it's just England!" ”

"Zhen is the most handsome man in the world!"

Zhen Shaolong silently patted Baton's shoulder, the look on his face was slightly ruddy, and then he left with Barton's shoulders and backs.

Patton makes a lot of sense.

That's right!

Barton is England's number one man, and he ...... Low-key, low-key!

————

Zhen Shaolong and Barton looked very relaxed, and they were in the mood to joke in front of reporters.

In fact, the pressure of the game is not small, Liverpool is not an easy opponent to deal with, and playing against the home team that is the first in the league will also have a great impact on Newcastle United's title situation.

There's been a lot of talk about Liverpool this season.

This summer, as a year ago, Liverpool made a big forward signing, and the £19 million poaching of the famous Robbie Keane can't help but remind people of the good performance of Fernando Torres.

Robbie Keane is expected to be high, with his performance at Tottenham being one thing, and the transfer price being the other, and his combined value with Torres reaching almost £50 million, is considered the Premier League's 'second most expensive' striker.

But Robbie Keane to Liverpool did not perform well.

So far, he has only scored five goals in the league in his starting games, and the efficiency is really pitiful, and Liverpool fans have shouted the slogan of 'parallel Keane'.

Liverpool also have a problem: leading goalscorer Fernando Torres continues to suffer injuries.

Since the end of September, Torres has suffered two injuries in a row, did not play in any games in November, and did not return to the team until mid-December, when news was announced that he would return to training.

Robbie Keane can't find his form, Torres has suffered injuries in a row, two big strikers have problems, and the efficiency of the forward line has definitely suffered, so in this case, Liverpool can still win the halfway title, and the overall performance is very amazing.

Liverpool are relying on Steven Gerrard.

From the beginning of the season to the present, Gerrard has been the best performer, he is Liverpool's core midfielder, and has also become Liverpool's top scorer.

Gerard is an all-round warrior, and he can't praise it enough.

Before the game, The Guardian lamented Liverpool's strength, "It's great to win the half-way title, but the most terrifying thing is that Liverpool's half-way title was completed when the main scorer Torres was injured. ”

"In the James Park game, the Spanish golden boy is likely to return to the competition, and what kind of energy the Spanish golden boy who has been recuperating for three months will burst out is very worthy of the fans' expectations."

That's what Newcastle United are worried about.

The biggest news before the game was the fight between Gerrard and Barton, but in fact, many news analysts said that Torres is likely to return to the game, which is the most popular topic for fans and directly related to the game.

"The Golden Boy may not start, but if things are not good for Liverpool, Benitez will definitely let him play!"

"Newcastle Football News" analyzed.

The match between Newcastle United and Liverpool is the second game of the game after Christmas, and both teams have a lot to talk about, but the center of the conversation is undoubtedly the key players.

Zhen Shaolong, Gerrard, Torres, Barton.

Wait a minute.

In fact, the player who felt the most pressure for the game was Liverpool's somewhat low-key Mascherano.

Because......

Mascherano was in charge of defending Zhen Shaolong.

Mascherano is a very good midfielder, he is very fierce and stable on weekdays, and his stay in the back is a deterrent to the opponent, but he also has a shadow in his heart, and it is Zhen Shaolong who causes him a shadow.

In last season's league game, Mascherano was ineffective defensively, and he continued to kick until the referee was sent off.

When they met Zhen Shaolong again at the Capital Olympics, the mighty Argentina was defeated by the Chinese team, and Mascherano's defense was once again considered invalid.

Now he still has the trust.

Of course.

The direct reason is that Benitez has no choice, Mascherano's defensive performance is stable, and his position is also suitable for marking Zhen Shaolong, and the other players in the team are not necessarily good to defend.

For example, Carragher.

Carragher is the backbone of Liverpool's defense, and he has also been tasked with limiting Zhen Shaolong, but there is almost nothing to talk about in his performance, and whether Zhen Shaolong should score or score, it seems that it has not been affected.

What can I do in this case?

Mascherano had no choice, and Benitez had no choice but to trust him.

Mascherano is also the kind of player who has strong confidence, even if he has two failures, he constantly cheers himself up, "Come on! ”

"This one will work!"

"Restrain him!"

"There can't be an opponent who can't be restricted, there must be some way to affect his performance!"

Mascherano came on the field with determination, and when the game officially started, he was ready to defend Zhen Shaolong, and then he found a strange thing, "Why didn't this guy rush to the front?" ”

"Isn't he a striker?"

When Zhen Shaolong followed the lineup to the front, Mascherano still followed.

Zhen Shaolong was running forward slowly, he noticed Mascherano who was coming over, and then looked at it strangely several times in a row, and suddenly said, "That's right! I've got it! You are ......"

"By the way, what's your name?"

“……”

Mascherano clenched his fists tightly, and he dismissed the other party's actions as a deliberate provocation.

"It's definitely a provocation!"

"Even if I'm low-key, I'm still a regular player at Liverpool, and it's impossible for the other side to not know my name."

Zhen Shaolong just doesn't know.

He cares about some of the stars in the news and the defenders who impress him, and Mascherano impresses him too, but he doesn't quite remember them because of only two brief contacts and the complexity of the names.

This does not affect the game.

Then Zhen Shaolong continued to stay in the midfield, as if he had completed his transformation into a midfielder, rather than a striker in front, and his position was replaced by Barton who was constantly inserting forward.

It's weird.

Mascherano was a little overwhelmed, he couldn't help but think of the semi-finals of the Capital Olympics, when the opponent was constantly retreating, and the backcourt also completed a beautiful steal on Messi, and then he cautiously reminded his teammate Kuyt, "Attention, Zhen Shaolong, he may defend you." ”

"Huh?"

Kuyt looked at Zhen Shaolong, who was dozens of meters away from him, and his mind couldn't turn for a while.

What is this guy talking about?

Zhen Shaolong's position retreated, so that Mascherano did not know what to do, he was a little worried that going to the front to defend, which would cause problems at the edge of the penalty area, and he was also worried that the opponent would easily leave himself behind in an open place.

This time Gerald simply passed.

Gerrard is Liverpool's all-round warrior, whether it is the front, backfield, defense or attack, he can be found everywhere, and when he finds Zhen Shaolong's strange running position, he simply sticks to the defense.

If the average player faces Gerrard's defense, he will definitely feel very huge pressure, Gerrard cannot be classified as a defensive player, but his defensive ability can be said to be no worse than any player, strong body, excellent technology, core position, being stealed by Gerrard, not only will the ball be broken, but also means giving the opponent a very good counterattack opportunity, making his own backcourt very dangerous.

Zhen Shaolong didn't have much pressure, he also teased while running, "You and Joey did it?" ”

"How?" Gerald frowned.

"I usually don't help my relatives." Zhen Shaolong shrugged his shoulders, "There is no way to do this." So sorry ......"

"Want to do it?"

Gerald was wary.

Zhen Shaolong didn't notice Gerrard's movements, but continued to rush forward normally, and also received the ball from the side, and then added in the process of stopping the ball, "So you must have lost." ”

“——？？”

Gerrard felt that his brain was a little overwhelmed, what is the direct relationship between 'helping relatives or not helping' and "Liverpool losing"?

Other than that.

The other person also said 'sorry'?

When Gerrard's brain was running rapidly, Zhen Shaolong turned his head and glanced at the goal, then turned his back to Gerrard, and completed a pass to his back very lightly.

The ball arced straight to the right side of the penalty area.

"Hula......"

The crowd erupted in cheers, and the fans spotted Barton running to that position.

Barton was a little unresponsive.

Although he was constantly reminded by Zhen Shaolong to plug in, and even became a striker in the game, he was a pure midfielder, completely unaccustomed to the running and playing style of the striker, and he didn't know what to do when he rushed to the right side of the penalty area.

And then the ball came over?

Barton looked behind him, his heart filled with surprise and nervousness.

Subsequently.

He stopped the ball!

Everyone didn't expect that Zhen Shaolong would pass such an accurate ball, and there were no players at Barton's side.

After stopping the ball, the opposing central defender Carragher rushed over, and Barton had time to shoot directly, but he was really a little excited and nervous, and the shot was too hard.

The ball flew straight out of the baseline, a meter away from the post.

"Hoo ......"

There was a sigh of regret from the sidelines.

It's a shame that this wonderful opportunity was wasted, but Liverpool have a very different view, and they are both very scared and very happy.

Thankfully, it's Barton!

If it is replaced by Zhen Shaolong, no, even if it is replaced by the damn traitor Owen, the football will definitely fly into the goal!

"What a pity!"

"This pass is a classic! Zhen Shaolong turned his back to Gerrard, and the pass in the back directly found Barton! ”

"Liverpool's defence has been breached!"

"It's a pity......"

The match commentator also regretted that there was no goal.

Zhen Shaolong stepped back and approached Patton, and said very depressedly, "Joey, pay attention next time!" I just wanted to help you score a goal, help you get back face, you don't know, I was talking to Gerrard just now, fooling ......"

"Ahem......"

"Anyway, it's just a calm conversation with the opponent...... Lupine towel is gone...... You don't understand that kind of realm! ”

"In short, I must score next time!"

"Don't be nervous!"

Barton bowed his head apologetically and said loudly, "Don't worry! Boss, I'll pay attention! ”

Then.

Owen leaned over and said to himself, "Zhen, this kind of ball will be handed over to me next time!" I'm sure I'll get the score! ”

Zhen Shaolong glanced at him, shook his head and said, "You're not Patton. ”

Then he ran away.

Owen stood in place for a long time, carefully interpreting this sentence, and couldn't help but think deeply, "Is it because Barton recognized him as the boss?" So he went out of his way to pass the ball to Barton? ”

"Or ......"

"I'll call him Boss in the future? But that's a bit too undisciplined, isn't it? ”

"Is it important to be disciplined, or is it important to score goals?"
