Chapter 270
Two minutes after Lin Yi scored, Lin Yi was replaced by Shaheen after a dead ball.

After Lin Yi came off the field, he applauded and thanked all the fans, and everyone stood up and applauded to cheer him.

At this time, no one cared about the outcome of the game. Lin Yi started the game, performed well, and scored a world wave. They felt that it was worth the ticket price.

The Chinese players on and off the field of the Evergrande team were filled with envy when they saw this scene - they were obviously opponents, but they were able to get the support and love of so many people. For a player to be able to do what Lin Yi did, it was simply fatal. And no regrets!

Although Lin Yi is gone, Liverpool's players still firmly hold the initiative on the court.

It is not that easy for Evergrande to turn around. The gap in strength between them and Liverpool is not just Lin Yi.

In the end, Liverpool scored another goal and defeated Evergrande 4:0.

This is the result of the contest between the Chinese champion and the British and European double champions, but it is not a real strength gap, because this is a business game, and the Liverpool players have not yet given their all. At least Lin Yi has not played. Nine and 10 minutes, otherwise, the final score would definitely not be like this, and Evergrande would concede more goals.

Those who are dissatisfied with Evergrande are quite happy with this result - aren't you known as the overlord of the Chinese Super League?He was beaten back to his original shape by Liverpool!
After the game against Evergrande, the entire Liverpool team left Guangzhou by plane the next day, arrived in Shanghai, defeated Shanghai SIPG 3:0, and then went to BJ on the third day!

When Liverpool was in BJ, the entire team participated in a large-scale interview program hosted by CCTV. Dozens of players, coaches, and club staff members attended, as well as Liverpool fans recruited by CCTV from all over the country, as well as agents who came to watch the stars live. Those who wanted autographs, there were [-] people crowded into the studio, and including the TV crews who were recording the scene, it was really "overcrowded" to describe it.

Although the entire Liverpool team came, not many were able to go on stage and interact directly with the host. They were selected.Qiu Xingrong, who is well-known in the Liverpool first team, can just choose a few representative players to take the stage.

Of course, no matter how you choose, Lin Yi must be No. 1 on CCTV's list.

Next are Reus, Gerrard, Firmino and goalkeeper Mignolet, plus coach Klopp.Six people, everyone in every position was basically taken care of.

In fact, Firmino and Mignolet were originally added temporarily later.The original list was not like this.

The arrangements for Liverpool's visit to China were determined very early. At that time, CCTV invited the entire Liverpool team to record the program. The Liverpool club is very supportive of participating in the activities of the Chinese national TV station. CCTV has mentioned a few people who will be on stage. The guests all accepted the orders without raising any objections.

In the initial guest list provided by CCTV, Sterling and Gerrard were clearly listed.

But unfortunately at the end of the season, Sterling and Gerrard both left the club one after another. Naturally, they were unable to follow the entire Liverpool team to China, so this list could only be invalidated.

CCTV discussed with Liverpool Club and finally changed it to the current list.

Because of Lin Yi, there was no translator arranged in the talk show. The translation work was left to Lin Yi. Moreover, the host of CCTV can also speak English. There are only some grammatical errors. Simple communication is no problem. .If it's more complicated, let Lin Yilai guest translate.

Lin Yi also made a request to CCTV during the program that he should be paid as an interpreter because the workload was too heavy - he was responsible for all the communication and translation work with the entire team.

This naturally caused laughter from the whole audience.

The stars talked about their feelings about coming to China, about Chinese football, and about their journey in the Bundesliga and the Champions League.

In order to prevent the interview show from being reduced to a boring situation where the host and guests ask questions and answers, the program production team took great pains and added many small games into the interview.

Some of these mini-games simply allow Liverpool stars to show off their skills, while others allow them to compete or cooperate with the lucky fans at the scene.

For example, let the lucky fans shoot and let Mignolet keep the goal.Mignolet, wearing a casual T-shirt, jeans, and sneakers, made several symbolic saves on the makeshift artificial turf five-a-side court, saving all the fans' shots and only missing them. One - the ball Mignolet's water was very obvious, and the movement of falling to the ground was much slower.

There is also a competition between Royce and Fimi to compete with the accuracy of their shots, hitting cardboard hanging at different locations in the goal.It turned out that Royce was slightly better and won.

Because Lin Yi is Chinese himself and has an advantage in language communication, he played a game of "You tell me and I guess" with the lucky fans. The two of them cooperated tacitly and helped the fans win a football signed by Lin Yi.

This lucky female fan not only got a football signed by Lin Yi, but she also asked Lin Yi if she could give him a hug.

Amidst the host's heckles, Lin Yi opened his arms.Then, amid the envious exclamations of the fans in the audience, the female fan blushed and hugged Lin Yi.

Because of Lin Yi, communication was smooth, the atmosphere was relaxed and harmonious, and the recording of the program went very smoothly.

After the program was recorded, the host was chatting with Lin Yi and said: "I have participated in the work of many European teams and stars coming to our CCTV to record programs. Today is the most relaxed, happy and smooth one. This Thank you for your help inside!"

Lin Yi waved his hand and said modestly: "I used to like watching our show. At that time, I never thought that I could participate."

The host burst out laughing: "At that time, I didn't expect that Lin Yi would come out of China, right? No one would have thought of it. I hope we can work together next time."

"sure."

The two of them only said these two sentences, and then Lin Yi was surrounded and separated by fans who asked for autographs and group photos.

In addition to recording the program, Liverpool also had a game in BJ. Their opponent was BJ’s only Chinese Super League team-BJ Guoan.

In terms of strength, BJ Guoan is not as good as Guangzhou Hengyuan, but slightly stronger than SIPG.

For the match between Liverpool and BJ Guoan, the entire stadium was packed.

Most of the people here are actually here to see Liverpool, to see Lin Yi.This is very similar to the situation in Guangzhou.

Many Guoan fans also came to see Lin Yi.

In fact, there was nothing special about this match, except for Zhang Xizhe who wanted to make big news.Zhang Xizhe successfully transferred to Wolfsburg last year and became the fifth player to land in the Bundesliga after Lin Yi.

It's a pity that he was returned to Guoan in just one year, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Because he is about the same age as Lin Yi, he was initially highly anticipated by domestic fans. Everyone expected him to become Lin Yi's second best.

But it's a pity that all the news can report is Zhang Xizhe's victory over Wolfsburg. Because in comparison, Lin Yi's achievements are too high. Zhang Xizhe, who has never had a chance to play, has become the target of ridicule on the Internet. , saying that he had no strength and still wanted to ride on Lin Yi's popularity.

There were many similar remarks, which made Zhang Xizhe feel very uncomfortable, but he had no way to return to Europe and prove his strength.

Unexpectedly, the superior suddenly sent Lin Yi in front of him, so Zhang Xizhe let out a sigh of relief, wanting to prove himself in front of Lin Yi.

But what happened was that he didn't make it to the starting roster. Perhaps the coaching staff was trying to save their energy for the league. In the first half, Zhang Xizhe could only hold back and watch Lin Yi perform on the court!
In this game, Liverpool did not underestimate their opponent. They controlled the rhythm and scene from the beginning of the game, so Guoan had no chance.

In the 13th minute, Royce opened the scoring for Liverpool.

At that time, the stadium was full of people and thunderous cheers.Except for the diehard Guoan fans, everyone was cheering for Liverpool's goal—Royce is also very popular in China. He is handsome and plays well, so he naturally has many fans.

Liverpool then continued their efforts, scoring three goals in the first half, and Lin Yi provided an assist. In addition, his work in the midfield was one of the reasons why Liverpool had the overall advantage.

BJ Guoan showed no power to fight back against Liverpool led by Lin Yi.

Zhang Xizhe, who did not start the game, was very dissatisfied with the roar of cheers in the stands every time the team conceded a goal. He believed that since everyone is Chinese, of course they should support the Chinese team, even if you are not from Guoan. Fans, shouldn’t they side with the Chinese team during foreign wars?Why does everyone cheer when Liverpool scores a goal?It’s not like Lin Yi scored the goal. If Lin Yi scored the goal, I would understand you cheering...

The angry Zhang Xizhe could only sit on the bench and sulk, looking up from time to time at the Chinese fans in the stands, feeling increasingly dissatisfied.

He vented his anger in the halftime warm-up.

The starting players all entered the locker room, while he and the other substitutes stayed on the court to warm up under the leadership of the assistant coach.

He kicked the football toward the goal one after another, but due to excessive force and poor accuracy, the football flew everywhere.

"Warm up well Zhang Xizhe!" the assistant coach scolded upon seeing this.

Zhang Xizhe shrank his neck and restrained his temper a little.

He didn't dare to offend the coach, because he still hoped that he could play in this game... If he offended the assistant coach, he might just sit on the bench until the end of the game.

Assistant coaches still have a say in the selection of substitutions, and the head coach must respect and follow their opinions.

At the beginning of the second half, Klopp made a large number of substitutions to the team. While waiting for the kick-off, four Liverpool players stood on the sidelines, waiting to come on.

Because it is a commercial competition, there is no strict limit on the number of substitutions. Everyone has discussed how many people can be substituted before the game. This kind of competition generally does not limit the number of substitutions. You can substitute as many people as you want.

So basically there will be a situation where the starting lineup is changed all over after a game.

Liverpool changed four people at the beginning of the second half, and Royce, who scored in the first half, was replaced.This disappointed many Chinese fans in the stands.

Fortunately, Lin Yi was not replaced, so that everyone would not find the second half of the game boring...

Regarding not replacing Lin Yi during the halftime break, Klopp held a meeting with Lin Yi and other members of the club at the beginning of the China tour to discuss it.

Everyone must respect each other's opinions, so all interest representatives are present.

After some discussion, it was decided not to replace Lin Yi at halftime of every game. However, Lin Yi could not be allowed to play all the game time. Anyway, he would be replaced in the second half. When would he be replaced? Klopp decided for himself.

This arrangement fully took care of the interests of all parties. From the perspective of commercial interests, allowing Lin Yi to spend more time on the court can also give a good explanation to the sponsors and sponsors of this China tour.From a competitive perspective, not allowing Lin Yi to play the entire game is also to prevent him from getting injured due to excessive fatigue.As for Lin Yi himself, he doesn't care when he will end the game. He is also happy to be able to play for a while in front of his compatriots.

Although Liverpool changed four players in one breath in the second half, their control of the scene did not decrease. They continued to have the upper hand, and the game almost turned into an exhibition match for Liverpool.

They seized this advantage and scored two more goals.

There were waves of cheers in the stands, and the fans even played Mexican waves. They really regarded this game as a carnival.

This made Zhang Xizhe, who was called by the coach to warm up again, really unhappy - we are fighting desperately against Liverpool, can you not look like we are on a spring outing!That really disrespects us!

But looking at the court again, Zhang Xizhe became even more angry - how could his teammates have any intention of fighting Liverpool?As if they were afraid of injuring the Liverpool players, their movements were very cautious and reserved, completely different from their performance in the Chinese Super League.

The CCTV commentator explained the performance of the BJ Guoan players this way: "They were too exhausted after just finishing a league game three days ago. In fact, arranging the game in the middle of a normal league is not a good choice. None of our players were able to perform at their best, which was a bit of a waste of the opportunity to compete with the European champions, and also reduced the enjoyment of this game..."

The commentator also felt that this kind of one-sided game was a bit boring, but he couldn't change anything.

Three minutes later, Zhang Xizhe was called back, and the assistant coach patted him on the shoulder. Zhang Xizhe waited expectantly for the assistant coach to arrange specific tactical tasks for him until he was about to be replaced.

Unexpectedly, after the assistant coach patted him on the shoulder, he just said: "Go up and play hard and feel the game. There are not many opportunities to compete with the European champions."
