Late at night, at the AON Centre, Mourinho's office was still brightly lit.

Faria and another assistant coach Larin looked at each other, and Faria couldn't help but speak: "Jose, his physical problems are not big, there are some bruises and mild muscle injuries, and his physical recovery is not as good as we imagined......"

As he spoke, he looked at Larin, who pointed to the location of his left chest and heart, and said, "I'm afraid it will take a long time to recover here."

Lee didn't say a word in today's training, he's very depressed, and I think his mental state is likely to be at a low point for a long time......"

Faria nodded: "This guy is so hungry to win, their national team was beaten by the Australians at the last moment, which he couldn't accept.

I don't think he'll be able to help us enough at Anfield if we don't get out of this situation! ”

Mourinho was silent for a long time, and the other teaching assistants echoed Faria and Larin's views, and there was silence in the office.

Mourinho looked up and stood up, everyone quieted down and looked at him, the voice of the magic bird was not loud, but full of unquestionable power: "Put him on the bench!" ”

……

At the Sydney Olympic Stadium, Li Liang is still running wildly on the field like crazy, and he has scored 3 goals-

No cheers, no frenetic spectators filling the stands, just the players running silently on the pitch in the silent giant stadium -

Embarrassed snapped his fingers: "Li, I've repeated more than 100 identical virtual matches, do you want to continue?" ”

Looking at the motionless NPCs around him, Li Liang slowly sat on the turf with his head in his hands: "Embarrassment, I want to stay alone for a while......"

The picture quickly resumed, and all the NPCs disappeared from his side, and even the embarrassed voice remained: "Okay, just tell me what you need." ”

……

The squad arrived at Liverpool shortly after arriving at Anfield.

Seeing this football mecca from afar, Li Liang did not make a trace of waves in his heart.

Seeing the bronze statue of the famous legendary coach Bill Shankly with open arms through the window of the bus, as well as the huge posters of the Liverpool stars behind the bronze statue, as well as the words "KOP" grandstand on the outer wall, which everyone knows, Li Liang finally felt a strange feeling in his heart.

IT WASN'T UNTIL HE ENTERED THE VISITING DRESSING ROOM AND WAS READY TO FOLLOW EVERYONE TO THE PITCH THAT HE SUDDENLY LOOKED UP AND SAW THE CLASSIC MARKER - "THIS IS ANFIELD" -

Li Liang stopped.

Carrick smiled: "Lee, this is specifically used to scare the away players, you won't be scared, will you?!" ”

Li Liang patted the old captain on the back, he knew that Carrick had been trying to help him.

Walking out of the tunnel he saw the KOP stands, the centennial stands and the Anfield Road stands, and the strange feeling became stronger and stronger.

Even if you're not a professional footballer, even if you're just an average fan, it's hard not to know the Reds Liverpool and the famous Anfield.

The magic bird silently watched Li Liang standing motionless in the middle of the court.

……

Henry laughed out loud in the live broadcast room: "Gary (Big Neville), Jamie (Carragher), don't you guys fight!" ”

Carragher laughed, "Gary and I are like brothers, like peas and pods-

Except, of course, whenever such a contest occurs! ”

Big Neville shrugged his shoulders and said regretfully: "Actually, I would rather sit with Nicky (Barth), Phil (Little Neville) and David (Beckham), there is nothing more pleasant than seeing Liverpool being beaten next to Sir Alex Ferguson!" ”

There was a burst of cheers from the main stands, and Liverpool's all-time famous manager Daklish and legendary goalscorer Rush, as well as Gerrard wearing a Liverpool scarf, appeared in front of everyone.

Daklish found his way to do it, and first greeted the old gentleman Ferguson who was sitting on the side, and Bart, Neville Jr. and Beckham on the side hurriedly got up.

There were louder cheers around and the home side began to warm up, and soon Manchester United were on the other side of the pitch.

Different from yesterday's stepping on the field, when the bus approached Anfield, Li Liang heard a huge singing and shouting in the carriage, and Anfield changed from yesterday's silent appearance, and still turned into a boiling red ocean!

"This is the England National Derby!" Carrick turned back to Li Liang and shouted loudly.

He felt as if he was in the middle of an erupting crater, all in sight of the fluttering Liverpool giant tifo, the red flag and the Liverpool scarves that fans held aloft with their hands.

The huge singing and shouting almost pierced the eardrums, and knowing that Faria slapped himself heavily, Li Liang realized that the warm-up had begun.

He felt something familiar getting closer to him.

The two sides began to practice with the ball, and he saw the big man Klopp, and the German boss of Liverpool smiled and waved to Li Liang.

Assistant coach Dzeko Bouácz nervously leaned over: "Jurgen, they have announced the starting line, Lee is on the bench!" ”

Klopp put away his smile: "Don't be nervous!

Lee doesn't deserve so much of our worries!

If we can win the game with individual heroism, then we might as well play video games! ”

The two sides began to practice with the ball, and Li Liang clearly saw the famous Coutinho, the Brazilian talented attacker, with a total rating of 86!

He immediately saw two players with an overall rating of 87 – Mohamed Salah, who moved to the Reds from Roma in the summer, and Roberto Firmino, another Brazilian striker.

In the huge singing in the stands, when the warm-up was about to end, Li Liang was suddenly stunned-

He vaguely saw the opposing England midfielder Jordan Henderson's overall rating flickering from 82 to 83!

This is an extremely rare situation, Li Liang jumped when he first saw the warm-up!

……

In the visiting dressing room, Jose Mourinho was making his final speech: "...... There's no doubt that Anfield is the most difficult away game.

Jurgen will definitely press us like crazy from the first second, and in the absence of Zeratan [Ibrahimovic], Paul [Pogba] and Juan [Mata] and Lee, we have to cut down on possession and dribble......

Many people noticed that Mkhitaryan, who was confirmed to start, had obvious displeasure on his face.

Captain Valencia began to cheer everyone on, and after everyone yelled, they walked out of the locker room door in full force.

"Lee, wait a minute!" Mourinho stopped Li Liang, knowing that the last team member had closed the door from the outside, and only two masters and apprentices were left in the locker room.

Amid the huge chanting of "e love liverpool, e do" from both sides, Thierry Henry and Big Neville asked at the same time: "Why didn't Jose Mourinho appear on the bench at Manchester United?" ”

Carragher added: "And their Lee! ”

Tang Meng was wondering: "Why is Mourinho not here?" In the picture, the magic bird finally hurried out of the passageway, and quickly greeted Klopp, shaking hands with the fourth official on the side.

Lu Yue also said: "It seems to be ...... I didn't see Li Liang either!

He's in the squad today! ”

In the away dressing room, Li Liang stood tightly and turned off all the lights after Mourinho left.

Leaving himself in the dark, just as Mourinho told -

I'm looking for my inner voice.

"Lee, I watched your game in Sydney with Rui (Faria), and it's really a shame......

What do you think was the reason for the failure?! ”

“…… Our overall strength is not as good as our opponents, and there is a huge gap in fitness and strength as well as our understanding of football......"

"That's just appearances.

The Australians played better than you because few of you really believe in winning against your opponents.

Your teammates seem to be counting on you to save the team, and no one is really willing to give everything, even their lives, for the sake of victory except for two or three people......"

Li Liang pushed open the door of the dressing room, and the staff around him were startled, and they all screamed, and they saw Manchester United's No.7 striding towards the players' tunnel wearing a training jacket marked No. 7.

THEY ALSO SAW THE AWAY TEAM'S NO.7 STRETCH OUT HIS RIGHT HAND AS HE WALKED DOWN THE STAIRS AND SLAPPED THE "THIS IS ANFIELD" MARK AS HARD AS ALL LIVERPOOL PLAYERS DO.

Here's Anfield –

I'm coming!
