Chapter 382: Anfield Active Volcano!

January 30th.

In the fourth round of the 2015/2016 English FA Cup, Liverpool were held to a 0-0 draw at home by West Ham United, and the two sides had to replay at a later date.

In this game, Jiang Chenxi sat in the stands to rest, Klopp discharged the trident of Firmino and Mane and Lallana, and the effect was very average, but the German Emrejan, who had just joined the team, performed better in the game, and the Germans in the middle and Henderson together contained the offensive of West Ham United.

This also led to cheers from the German media, who expressed optimism about Emrejan's prospects at Liverpool and were delighted that Jurgen Klopp was able to bring up a good midfielder for the German national team.

German goalkeeper Karius, who started the game, also had an impressive performance, saving a direct free-kick from French star Payet.

After the game, the English media also joked that Karius and Emrejan, two German fellows, helped Klopp earn face.

……

On 31 January, the 2015/2016 winter transfer window closed.

Liverpool did not welcome new signings again, and Arsenal player Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who was previously revealed by the media to join at the last minute of the transfer window, was not able to join Liverpool.

In this regard, the "Daily Mirror" reported that the Reds had tried to bring in Oxlade-Chamberlain for 20 million pounds, but this price was not accepted by Arsenal, so the transfer talks collapsed, which was rebuked by Klopp as "nonsense", and denied paying attention to Chamberlain.

Subsequently, Newcastle's "Echo" reported that Liverpool had tried to bring in Newcastle midfielder Wijnaldum, but the two sides did not agree on a transfer fee, which Klopp also angrily denounced as a rumor and denied that the team wanted to bring in Wijnaldum.

Liverpool's players have also privately spoken about the team's recruitment rumours.

Although Jurgen Klopp has flatly denied the media reports, the team did contact Oxlade-Chamberlain and Wijnaldum, and the players were aware of it.

"Whether it's Arsenal or Newcastle, they treat the team as big sheep." Jiang Chenxi said.

"Who doesn't know that the team has money now." Skrtel also said with a smile, shaking his head as he spoke.

Selling Coutinho made more than 100 million pounds, and the money was in Liverpool's account, and as long as Liverpool wanted to buy people, they would definitely be treated as fat sheep and wanted to slaughter them.

As for the fact that it only cost £9.75 million to bring in Emrejan, it's not that Bayer Leverkusen doesn't want the Lions to open their mouths, but because Emre Can has a release clause worth £9.75 million on his contract. I believe that Bayer Leverkusen must be very angry now, and they have made at least a million pounds less.

……

February 2.

In the 24th round of the English Premier League, Liverpool welcomed the Foxes Leicester City at home.

Ahead of this game, Liverpool are top of the table with 51 points, with Leicester City in second place with 47 points.

If Liverpool can win, he will open up the gap on Leicester City, and if Leicester City can win away, they will close the gap on Liverpool to one point.

Therefore, the English media once again portrayed this game as a battle for the top spot.

Liverpool previously faced Leicester City away from home, and the two teams are also first and second in the table, which the media says is the top battle.

Liverpool previously faced Manchester City, who were the leaders, and Liverpool were fourth in the league at the time, also known as the battle for the top spot.

Ahead of the home game against Arsenal, Liverpool are league leaders, Arsenal are second in the league, and this is another battle for the top spot.

Therefore, the media also joked that Liverpool will have a battle for the top spot almost every few rounds of the league.

It can also be seen from this that the competition for the Premier League title this season is fierce, but this fierce is caused by an abnormal situation, Liverpool has had a bad start to the season, losing points in a row, and in this case, it is still able to be at the top of the table, which is all set off by its peers: Chelsea is now only ranked thirteenth in the league, only eight points ahead of the relegation zone, and is still working for early relegation, and Manchester United is now ranked eighth in the league, Arsenal continues to continue the old problem of softness in the second half of the season, the most surprising is Manchester City, After losing in a direct confrontation with Liverpool, it began to slump, but Leicester City, a team that was miraculously relegated last season, has now become the main force in resisting Liverpool's defending league title.

Sixty-six minutes into the game, Liverpool fans were singing 'You'll never be alone' in the air above Anfield.

However, now this song is not a proud and excited celebration, but more like a tragic drum beat and horn encouraging Liverpool's players not to give up and keep fighting!

On the scoreboard at Anfield, Liverpool's 0:2 Leicester City scoreline looked glaring.

Yes, Liverpool are now 2-0 at Leicester City.

Jamie Vardy scored a goal each at the start of the first half and at the start of the second half, with a brace from Jamie Vardy giving Leicester a 2-0 lead at Liverpool.

On the commentary bench, John. Morteson and Gary. Lineker was full of praise for Vardy.

In fact, although it cannot be said that the whole of England is now looking forward to Leicester City to stage a fairy tale of dark horses to win the championship, but one thing is certain, almost the vast majority of English fans expect Vardy to continue to score goals, although they do not expect Vardy to catch up with Jiang Chenxi, but the more goals, the better, I hope to see him break the 'strange circle' that no local goalscorer in England in recent years can score more than 20 goals except for Wayne Rooney.

And Vardy's inspirational story is also beginning to be familiar to more people.

From a factory worker, to a striker in England's eighth tier team, to scoring more goals this season than Sergio Aguero, Diego Costa, Sanchez and many other Premier League ace goalscorers, second only to Jiang Chenxi in the scorer list, Leicester City's goalscorer Vardy is considered to have written a grassroots inspirational legend in English football.

It is precisely because of this legendary experience that there have been recent media reports that Hollywood is also planning to make Vardy's story into a movie.

Regardless of whether Leicester City can pull off a dark horse title this season, Vardy's story could be brought to the big screen.

After a series of consultations, the film about Vardy was also on the agenda. Adrian, who once participated in the production of the famous movie "One Ball to Fame". Adrian Butchart says he is interested in Vardy's legacy and plans to bring the story of the Three Lions' grassroots goalscorer to the big screen.

"This kind of story has to be true, or no one will read it. Vardy's achievements have been so incredible that it's hard to imagine a man who once played in the lower leagues while working in a factory could now shake up the world's number one league. Speaking to the media, Bottechat said, "He [Vardy] has set a record for consecutive goals since the beginning of the Premier League. This is simply the prototype of the movie we have always dreamed of. ”

According to The Sun, the film based on the Vardy legend is star-studded. Playing the protagonist Vardy is Louis Vardy, a member of the band's One Dire. Louis Tlinson, and Vardy's wife Rebekah is played by Meghan, the girlfriend of the famous British Prince Harry. Meghan Markle.

However, some Liverpool fans were not convinced, and they directly sent an email to Bertchat, asking him why he didn't shoot Jiang Chenxi? Compared to Jamie Vardy's experience, the Chinese star's experience is even more legendary.

In this regard, Bertchat responded directly, he said that it was not that he didn't want to shoot Jiang Chenxi's story, but because he thought about it again and again and felt that Jiang Chenxi's legendary story, even if it was put in a movie, felt so incredible, he didn't dare to shoot it, he was afraid that it would not be filmed well.

"If I feel like I'm sure I'm going to shoot [Jiang's] story, I'm going to do it right away." Bertchart said.

……

Back to the game.

The commentators praised Vardy and even talked with interest about the grassroots goalscorer being the prototype for Hollywood films, and then they began to focus on Liverpool's performance today.

The form of the Liverpool players today is indeed very average, and the performance of some players can even be described as terrible.

Among them, John. Mortensen criticized young German player Emrejan by name.

The young German, who was praised by the media for his outstanding performance in the FA Cup game against West Ham United in the last game, was once again reused by Jurgen Klopp in this head-to-head clash with Leicester City: with captain Jordan Henderson suspended, Klopp chose not to send Joe Allen, but to send Emre Can, which shows the trust in the young compatriot.

However, in today's game, Emre Can was often at a loss in the midfield position, lacking both attack and defense, which was nicknamed "X**T" by some Liverpool fans after the game.

'Emre Can was disastrous today, he was an all-round underdog in midfield and Kante. John. Mortenson said.

'Now that Liverpool are 2-0 down, the fans are chanting Jiang's name in difficult moments, and they expect the team's top star to step up again when it matters most, as he has done so many times before.

……

The first to stand up was not Jiang Chenxi, but his good friend Salah.

Eighty-one minutes were played.

Salah received the ball from Milner on the wing, dribbled along the wing, first past Albrighton, then cut inside to shake off Fuchs's pursuit, and at the top of the box, suddenly curled with his left foot, the ball went around Leicester goalkeeper Schmeichel Jr.'s ten fingers, and then hit the inside of the post and bounced into the net.

One to two!

Liverpool pulled a goal back with about ten minutes to go before the end of the game!

"Well done!" Zhan Jun, the commentator of Xinchao.com, shouted excitedly, "Salah's goal is very crucial, now Liverpool is only one goal away, they only need to score one more goal to equalize, for Liverpool, this game is also acceptable, if it is a draw, they are still four points ahead of Leicester City!" Previously, Liverpool won against Leicester City away from home, which was a win-win plus a draw, and the lead was completely acceptable! ”

……

In the 88th minute of the game, after substitute Mane dribbled the ball on the side, he suddenly cut in laterally, and Leicester defender Mogan's explosive speed was obviously unable to keep up with Mane, and in desperation, he had to reach out and pull down the Senegalese.

"Liverpool's chance to get a free kick is a little off, but it is still within Jiang Chenxi's range!"

"Jiang stood in front of the ball, and he was ready to take the free kick." "Leicester's wall players and goalkeepers must be nervous right now, and Jiang has a pretty good free-kick footwork! ”

Jiang Chenxi stood behind the football, he looked up and looked forward, in front of him was a wall of five people lined up in Leicester City.

Leicester City's goalkeeper Schmeichel Jr. clapped his palms, although he did not have the experience of being directly hit by Jiang Chenxi's free kick, but, the shadow of the famous tree, he knew that Jiang Chenxi had a good direct free kick footwork, and he couldn't help but be nervous.

……

Firmino squeezed into the opposition wall and tried to squeeze a line for Jiang Chenxi's shot, and he pushed and shoved the Leicester City player, and the referee had to whistle again and again to come up and warn.

Firmino left the wall in a huff, but he didn't leave the penalty area, but stood aside, ready to shoot at any time!

The referee saw that the wall was lined up and the distance was in line with the requirements.

Then he glanced at Jiang Chenxi, who signaled that he was ready.

The referee then stepped back and blew his whistle.

One-step!

Two steps!

Three steps!

Jiang Chenxi ran and shot with his right foot!

With his left arm in front and his right arm behind, the whole person was like a sculpture with a resolute expression, and his calf quickly flung out and pumped into the middle and lower part of the football, which kicked a very beautiful curved ball.

A beautiful curveball!

The soccer ball flies, skies, and then goes around the city of Leicester's human wall!

Keep moving!

Then bypassed the range of Leicester City's goalkeeper:

Straight into the top left corner of the goal!

Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel Jr. was almost unresponsive to the goal: he just waved his arm subconsciously, which was more like greeting a ball flying through the air: Hey, cutie......

The huge Anfield stadium erupted at this moment, huge cheers resounded, people were hugging, shouting, stomping, the whole stadium was like an earthquake, no, to be exact, Anfield at this moment, is an active volcano that is erupting.

It was the running player who triggered the lava of the active volcano eruption, and he rushed to the sidelines, and as he jerked up his right arm, the stadium stands went wild!

Welcome to Anfield's active volcano!
