The sweeping army of the greenery

Chapter 101 Bloodbath ([-])

The League Cup is a non-divisional competition between all 92 professional football clubs in England.Founded in 1960 by the English Professional Football League.

Premier League teams start participating from the second round, but teams participating in European competitions start to join in the third round.

In the 0405 season, in the third round of the League Cup, Liverpool will challenge the English Championship team Millwall away.

Millwall's home court is located on the Isle of Dogs in London, and it is called Neal Stadium, which can be regarded as famous.

On the way to the Neil Stadium, Li Tiancheng really felt the "hooligan atmosphere" of Millwall fans.

Along the way, the Liverpool bus was surrounded by a circle of motorcycles. The riders wore flowered headscarves, and all of them were bare-chested and hairy.

"This level of hooliganism is acceptable."

Sitting by the window, Li Tiancheng concentrated on watching these people perform. It would be a drift or a speeding car, just cursing is not brave enough!

Since chatting with Brother Hai that day, Li Tiancheng has received several reminders, either explicitly or implicitly, reminding him to be careful.

Although I don't feel scared, I am still a little nervous.

It's much better now.

Benitez's starting lineup for this game has a new look, which is completely different from the past.

Among them, Henkoz, Whitbread, Porter and Mailer, etc., all of them officially played the game for the first time this season.

Henkoz is the most pitiful, and everyone else is considered a rookie, but this guy was Liverpool's main central defender in the past few seasons, and this season he will be on the bench.

Only Dudek and Josemi are the main players in the starting lineup.

The absolute main players such as Carragher, Alonso and Hyypia have all been arranged to rest.

Carragher publicly expressed his concerns, saying that sending such a lineup to the Isle of Dogs was simply "a sheep entering the tiger's mouth". He asked himself to go with the team, but Benitez flatly refused.

Millwall is not just fans hooligans, it is said that the character is the protagonist, the fans are hooligans, and the team has always been rough.

Head coach Wise, a famous villain in British football, nicknamed "Roaring Rat", this guy once won the FA Cup from Liverpool with his violent play, and he played for Wimbledon madly at that time.

Although he is now a coach, the fury has not changed at all, and he has continued the style of play for Millwall very well.

These situations have been introduced many times in the pre-match preparation meeting, and everyone is mentally prepared. This game is probably going to be a lot of people turning their backs.

Before the start of the game, the Neal Stadium played a song he loved most during his lifetime to commemorate Peel, a Liverpool fan who had just died in Peru and a famous radio host.

This move made Li Tiancheng feel that Sun Chenghai was right and that Millwall was still a decent club.

This impression did not last long.

The minute you step on the court, it's gone.

More than 1 Millwall fans in the stands were yelling "Aww", eating bananas, gesturing over and over again, and pulling their fingers from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner of the eye.

The corners of Li Tiancheng's mouth twitched, and he scanned the stands expressionlessly.

After staying abroad for a long time, Li Tiancheng certainly understood the meaning of these actions.

Josemi grabbed Li Tiancheng's arm: "Calm down, Li, calm down..."

The Spanish blurted out, and Josemi couldn't care about the ban at the moment, and he had long forgotten how to say in English: "They are just to stimulate you, a bunch of scum..."

"Of course I know," Li Tiancheng didn't turn his head, still staring at the stands, wanting to firmly engrave everything in front of him in his heart.

Li Tiancheng suddenly remembered a scene, which was the first time Barcelona captain Figo returned to Camp Nou as a Real Madrid player. It was a scene of 10 people waving white handkerchiefs and cursing in unison.

At that time, as a caddy, I felt the crazy atmosphere at that time, and I began to admire Figo's strong heart.In that game, Figo was the best Real Madrid player!
Now it's my turn.

The Neil Stadium is far worse than the Nou Camp. Of course, the group of dogs in front of them cannot be compared with the Barcelona fans. Compared with the pressure that Figo faced back then, the rubbish they created is of course nothing!

Li Tiancheng twitched the corner of his mouth, let's start now...

Such a scene made Liverpool fans go berserk, and they began to throw debris from the second-tier stands.

The Neal Stadium has two floors in total, the visiting team stand is set up on the second floor, and the exit is directly to the subway station. After the game, the visiting team fans can leave the Isle of Dogs as quickly as possible.

Now this design is convenient for Liverpool fans to vent their anger unilaterally.

But Li Tiancheng chose to keep pressing down with his arms to signal them to calm down!

Don't even complain at all.

If the referee cancels the game because of violent conflicts between the fans of the two sides, or because these things are too much, and he can't take revenge on the spot, then he will suffer a big loss!
The game started amidst the dance of demons.

As soon as the referee's whistle sounded, Li Tiancheng took the initiative to press. Thanks to these scumbags, Li Tiancheng's excitement was gone, and the game just started!
It was the first time in his career that he started the game, and it turned out like this!

In this game, Pangler started the striker, Li Tiancheng was behind him, Warnock and Porter were on the left and right of Li Tiancheng, Dior and Biscayne were the defensive midfielders, Traore and Henchorz partnered as central defenders, and Weitebrey Germany and Josemi left and right defenders, Dudek is of course guarding the goal.

Audi, who was fighting aggressively, quickly grabbed the football and went straight forward.

Porter headed the ball to Li Tiancheng. Facing the fierce opponent rushing towards him, Li Tiancheng directly stuffed the ball behind him.

Pangele outflanked in place and was about to continue to break through when he was knocked down by a kick.

The captain of the Millwall centre-back and the Australian Muscat, this guy is notorious, and there are a lot of Premier League stars who fell at his feet: Bellamy, Dugarry, Lazaridis and many others.

Muscat bent down and looked at Pangler, who was about to get up on his stomach: "Neil Stadium is not a place where people are allowed to run wild. You young brats, you better be sensible."

After finishing speaking, he bared his teeth at Pangele.

Li Tiancheng ran to Pangele's side: "What did this guy say?"

"Nothing, just trying to scare me!"

Li Tiancheng nodded and ignored it. If he was intimidated by such a pediatric trick, Pangele would not be able to stand in the professional arena.

"Get ready for a shot."

"Should we shoot directly from this distance? It's a little farther, and it's more than 30 meters." Pangele was a little puzzled. It would be great if he could move forward 5 meters, not 2 or 3 meters.

"That's why you have to be prepared. I will definitely hit the goal frame." Li Tiancheng stared at the goal with a calm tone.

Pangele glanced at Li Tiancheng, nodded, and ran into the restricted area.

Li Tiancheng set up the ball, took a few steps back, and observed the position of the opponent's goalkeeper, the arrangement of the wall, and the positions of his teammates.

The free throw position is to the left of the center, the opponent's goalkeeper is standing in the near corner, and the wall is blocking the far corner.

"It's better to be safe..."

Li Tiancheng adjusted his breathing, regained his composure in the midst of howling all over the field, took a few steps to run up, and hit the middle of the football with the inside of his right foot, deliberately added an extra kicking motion.

The football went straight to the corner kick, and after crossing the far end of the wall, it turned a big corner and jumped towards the goal!
Millwall goalkeeper Doll Knig was relieved to find that the football had disappeared from his field of vision, and took the time to move to the left. Although it seemed that the ball was going straight out of bounds, it was still pretending...
