The time has finally come to the year before the Dragon crosses, 2017.

Compared to the memories of history, reality does not seem to have changed much.

The earth is not destroyed, and there is no peace in the world, but the world of football is more or less different because of his existence.

On January 2, when Liverpool fans turned on the TV to enjoy another big win, they were speechless by the score on the screen.

The game was already in the 58th minute, but such a score made them doubt their eyes:

Sunderland 2, Liverpool 0!

-

"The Reds' 19-game winning streak this season may be coming to an end here......"

Sky TV commentator Alan Smith shrugged:

"Who brought them into Sunderland, who is known as the 'Black Cat'? It's not that festive. ”

His partner, Martin Taylor, shook his head slightly:

"Liverpool's recent schedule has been so intense that they had to drive to Sunderland after only 30 hours of rest after playing Manchester City, and Brendan Rodgers had to rotate a lot, even the Iron Man was left on the bench and watched his team-mates helplessly being crushed on the turf by the black cats......

-

Although the game against Manchester City was a big win, it was definitely not possible to get three points with your eyes closed.

Although Liverpool did not suffer a major injury, most of the main players could not adjust to their best condition within 30 hours, so the game was handed over to the substitutes and the youth army.

originally thought that with Liverpool's hot form this season, even if it was U21, Sunderland should be trampled under his feet casually, but he didn't expect the cunning black cat to take advantage of the substitution player's mentality of taking advantage of the underdog and using several sharp counterattacks to penetrate the goal guarded by substitute goalkeeper Bogdan!

"What to do? What to do? ”

Rogers had the words in his mouth:

"I'm going to have my name ruined at the hands of Sunderland?"

Then he heard another voice:

"Brendan, let's make a substitution!"

-

"Oh, Brendan Rodgers finally couldn't sit still and he made a change in the 65th minute...... Unsurprisingly, Ronshette stood in the bench area, Sunderland beware! ”

Alan Smith had an unsurprising expression.

Martin Taylor glanced at the sidelines:

Behind him...... There is also the first goalkeeper Mignolet, it can be seen that Rodgers is not too happy with Bogdan's inaction, but with two goals down, should he focus more firepower on the front? Uh......"

His voice was suddenly dragged out, and then suddenly erupted:

Rogers ...... Isn't it crazy?! ”

-

When he saw Mignolet standing on the sidelines, Bogdan's heart immediately went cold.

I did concede two goals, but ...... You can't blame me for that!

The other party's two fast horses went in hand and killed them, I don't care about one or the other, what can I do?!

Even if Buffon, Cassie, Neuer, and De Gea are all possessed, I can't stop them, right?!

MD！

Mignolet, this guy, relies on his ability to skillfully use various drawing software to make posters, and before and after each game, he draws Long Shute as majestic and domineering as the gods, so that he has a close relationship with the dragon boss, otherwise...... With his three-legged cat level, how can he occupy the position of Liverpool's main goalkeeper?

Captain Long, you can't kiss villains and Yuanxian ministers like this!

In the long run, the country will not be a country!

Faint! O faint king!

Bogdan sneered as he took off his gloves and shook his head as he walked out of bounds.

Although he was very dissatisfied, he didn't have anything to do.

He even had to force a smile and not let the camera catch the jealousy and resentment on his face, otherwise...... The dragon boss who values the unity of the locker room will definitely clean him out the next day!

"Hey, Adam, what are you doing here?!"

Before he could get out of bounds, trainee coach Steven Gerrard, who was standing on the sidelines, stopped him:

"Go back! Go back to the door! ”

Bogdan raised his gaze blankly, only to see that Mignolet had already stepped onto the ring!

Lonjut was replaced by veteran Lucas, while Mignolet was replaced by ...... Is it striker Origi?!

What the hell is this?!

Goalkeeper for striker?!

-

"Uh......"

At this moment, almost all of the narrator's brains were close to death.

Even Zhan Tianjun, who has always been praised for his quick response and knowledge, is a little stuck:

"This, this, this...... Did Mignolet really stand up front? Such a substitution is too weird! ”

Zhang Lu frowned and thought hard:

"Brendan Rodgers is not a bold manager and ...... Even if he wanted to, others would definitely persuade him, right? ”

-

"If I lose this game, I will definitely be the biggest joke in all of European football!"

Rogers sat down, chewing on the gum in his mouth a little unwillingly.

Of course, such a ridiculous substitution could not have come from his hand, it was all done by the captain of No. 95!

Assistant coach Mike Marsh comforted him:

"We don't have a suitable striker on the bench, so it's a helpless option, so you have to trust the Dragon's decision!"

Positional coach Chris Davis also expressed his support for the Dragons:

"Simon (Minnie) has a good bounce, maybe he can be a wonder soldier!"

Seeing that the two assistants had "betrayed" him, Rogers was so angry that he kicked over the mineral water bottle:

"Strange soldiers, strange soldiers! Watch out for his enthusiasm and perform the Hand of God in the Sunderland penalty area! ”

-

"Simon, are you serious?"

Sturridge looked at the one-meter-ninety-three Mignolet standing in front of him, and his dark face was full of shock:

"We've never practiced this kind of formation change tactic before!"

"But...... I've practiced it! ”

Mignolet pointed to himself, and his white face was full of pride:

"Surprised? Not surprised? In the future, you won't even have a place as a substitute striker! ”

-

Mignolet didn't lie, he really practiced headers, and moreover, with Ronshit.

Although after the serious injury, except for the initial period of time, Long Shute has rarely practiced as frantically as he did when he first debuted, this definitely does not mean that he is only satisfied with daily training.

No more crazy training, it just means...... His training amount has been reduced from 3 times to 2 times before.

Well, after all, at 26 years and 7 months, he is no longer a teenager......

What's more, Emma brand juicer who has returned to England has been in hot form recently, and if he trains three times as much, then he has only a dead end!

Now that the amount of training has decreased, Ronjut has made shooting his main training activity, and Mignolet is the most active training object.

In the year and a half of his sparring career, the Belgian second international has changed from a skeptical life at the beginning to a cheerful and optimistic now, his saving reaction is much faster than before 2015, the attack judgment is more accurate, and even the voice of shouting towards the defenders has improved a lot, and the whole person has become confident and bold.

In his spare time, he also took the opportunity to practice crosses and headers with Long Shute, and lived a forward dream - after all, most players still aspired to be a striker when they were young......

Now, under various coincidences, his dream is suddenly about to come true.

Come to think of it, it's really a little exciting!

-

Ronshette definitely didn't mean to train Mignolet to play up front.

It's just that Benteke, who played 90 minutes in the last game, is recuperating at home due to muscle discomfort, and Firmino is the type who can fight hand-to-hand with defenders......

After pulling out the general, Mignolet was pushed into battle.

Anyway...... Even if he doesn't have any effect, Long Shute is confident that he can solve the battle on his own!

-

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.

Mignolet, who doesn't usually play as a striker at all, but only occasionally practises two uncontested headers, quickly gets lost in Sunderland's backline once he comes on the pitch.

He didn't know how to move, let alone how to work with Sturridge, Lallana and others.

And just as Rodgers feared, when Milner finally managed to pass the ball to him from the left, he even subconsciously stretched out his hands and prepared for a beautiful sideways pounce......

Fortunately, Milner's pass flew directly into the stands, so as not to make Mignolet a laughing stock all over the world!

After this 'show', Sunderland's defenders apparently relaxed their guard against him and focused more on Lonshit.

But...... What's the use of that?

Ronshette scored a hat-trick within 10 minutes of coming on, and even if Sunderland were united in a bucket formation, how could they really stop his ultra-long shot of more than 40 meters?!

"Mignolet...... It's just a pawn he uses to disrupt the other party's vision! ”

It was only when Lonshette scored his fourth goal in the 81st minute to make it 4-2 that it dawned on the Sunderland manager.

But what can he do?

Mignolet is such a tall man standing on the back line, can he let the defenders avoid him?!

-

"Drop!"

In the 85th minute, Sturridge's shot was blocked by the Black Cats defender, and Liverpool won a corner.

Milner, who was about to take the penalty, was stopped by Ronshit:

"James, I'll take the penalty this time."

As Lonshette stood in the corner, Sunderland goalkeeper Mannone felt his little heart jump out.

The Liverpool captain personally took the corner, which is not too many chances!

But everyone knows that this guy ...... Three times I kicked corners straight into the goal!

How do you lay out your defenses?

Mannone's heart was irritable, and he could only let his tallest teammate block the back post to prevent Longshute from repeating his old tricks, while he played 120,000 points of attention and was ready to attack at any time.

"Bang!"

The instep of the instep of the dragon struck the ball, and the black and white ball spun and flew high.

Manone's eyes were fixed on his target without blinking, and his brain was running at high speed.

The flight trajectory of the instep, spinning ball, and leather ball should not change too strangely...... But that's just the way it should be......

As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief and was about to seal off his city, he saw a white figure jumping high on the line of the small forbidden area!

Number 22!

Simon...... Mignolet!

The tallest defender has been moved to the back post by Mannone and the 193-year-old Mignolet has no rival in height!

He shook his head at the pass of Ronjut!

"Huh!"

Bogdan falls to his knees in front of the goal 100 meters away!

Oh my!

It's too late!

Mignolet ...... He, he, he...... He scored a header!

Instructor!

I'm going to learn PS skills too!
