Chapter 381 Accident

"Liverpool wins the Charity Shield, Leiden Oriental continues the perfect storm"

"One pass and two shots Figo controls the game, who else does the footballer this year?"

"The newcomer's debut is eye-catching, and Leiden also has his own Ronaldo"

"After the double crown, there are three crowns, Xiao Ming's goal is four crowns or even five crowns"

...

Unlike the previous championship that was considered a dark horse, Leiden Oriental is now qualified to allow the media to get any of Leiden Oriental's results to be infinitely magnified under a microscope. Even Pirlo, who played for five minutes in the last five minutes in the Charity Shield, received countless attention. They believe that Pirlo's pass in the game fully demonstrates the delicate skills and outstanding consciousness of the young Italian.

However, Leiden Oriental does have a reason to make these media look at each other. In the league opening game a week later, Leiden Oriental, who had accumulated another week of strength, no longer seemed a little uncomfortable with the game like the first half of the Charity Shield. They perfectly controlled the rhythm throughout the game, relying on Fanny, Figo and Klose, who came on the bench, scored 3-0 and defeated the newly promoted Blackburn 3-0.

However, Leiden Oriental, which achieved such a big victory, did not top the scoreboard. Another newly promoted player, Bolton, actually swept last season's eighth place Leicester City five-zero away, which made everyone exclaim - is Bolton the dark horse of the Premier League this season? You should know that in the past few seasons, there has always been a newly promoted player who occupies a prominent position after the end of the season. The first thing that brought this trend is Leiden Oriental. They won the third place in the first Premier League season. The dark horse in the 99-2000 season was Sunderland, which eventually ranked seventh, and the dark horse in the last season was Ipswich, who was finally ranked sixth, which is in sharp contrast to the sluggish situation of relegation of the previous three newly promoted players.

In addition to Bolton, who won five goals, ranked first in the league, Arsenal, who beat Middlesbrough four goals away, ranked second in the position, Leiden Oriental ranked third, Manchester United, Liverpool and Leeds all won, while Chelsea tied one-to-one with Newcastle.

The fans of Leiden Oriental sighed regretfully, because the away game against Ipswich in the second round of the league will be postponed, because on this match day, Leiden Oriental will play the European Super Cup match between Leiden Oriental and Liverpool. If Leiden Oriental wants to top the scoreboard, it is probably not something that can be achieved in a few rounds.

Before the European Super Cup, it is routinely selected the six best candidates in Europe last season. As the winner of the European Champions League last season, Leiden Oriental is naturally the club with the most selected list. Xiao Ming will compete with Bayern's head coach Heathfield and Liverpool's head coach Hollier for the award for the best coach. After finally getting the A-level coaching certificate not long ago, he finally had the opportunity to participate in such a selection. Yasquelanin will compete for the award for the best goalkeeper, and his opponent is Bayern's card

N, Valencia's Canisarez, and Figo were nominated for the best midfielder and best player. His opponents in the best midfielder are Vieira of Arsenal and Macaulister of Liverpool. Among the best players, his opponents are Bayern's Effenberg and Real Madrid's Raul. The best forward and best defender are nominated for the players of Leiden Oriental. After all, Leiden Oriental conceded a lot of goals last season, and several forwards were not able to maintain continuous goals in the Champions League.

However, according to Xiao Ming's private statement, it is "UEFA is afraid that we will win all the honors, so he did this. Otherwise, Fanny scored four goals in five games, and this goal rate would be enough to make the Champions League strikers who scored at most seven goals last season feel ashamed." For this statement, McDonald just smiled. He knew that in private, Xiao Ming was actually a bit ostentatious.

The European Super Cup was held at the Stadium of Louis II, so the UEFA award ceremony was also held in Monte Carlo. In the end, Leiden Oriental was a great harvest. Xiao Ming was elected the Best Coach without any suspense, and Figo also won the Best Midfielder and Best Player neatly. However, Jasqueline lost to Bayern goalkeeper Kahn in the Best Goalkeeper selection. Xiao Ming was a little dissatisfied with this. In his opinion, Jasqueline, who has the title of champion, should be able to win this award.

The best forward is Real Madrid's Raul, and the best defender is Valencia's Ayala. As the top scorer of the Champions League last season, Raul deserves the honor of being the best forward. In his first season in Valencia, Ayala helped the team to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League. After he joined, Valencia's defense became even more solid, so although he was not as good as Bayern's Kufour in his personal honor, he still won this personal honor.

The best selections of last season were of course the highlight, but for the head coaches who appeared at the ceremony, what happened next made them worry about.

2001-2002 European Champions League Peripheral Group Team Class.

There are only three places to participate in the Champions League in the Premier League, but Leiden Oriental, Manchester United and Arsenal are both first-class seed teams, which makes everyone know that it may only be a matter of time before the Premier League catches up with the Bundesliga. Although there are four teams participating in the Champions League this time, except for Bayern being the first-class team, Dortmund is the second-class team, Schalke Zero Four and Leverkusen are only fourth-class teams.

This time, only three teams of Serie A team can appear in the Champions League group stage. This time, Parma was defeated in the perimeter game. Lazio and Juventus were both first-class teams, while Roma was ranked second. Perhaps only La Liga could be seen as far as the Premier League. Barcelona and Real Madrid were first-class, while Mallorca and La Coruña were second-class.

The probability of a death group in this group is also quite high, because in addition to the two Bundesliga teams, Dynamo Kiev, Eindhoven and Feyenoord are also strong teams, and among the fourth-level teams, they also have excellent teams such as Ligue 1 champion Nantes and Türkiye's powerful Fenerbahce.

In fact, Xiao Ming did not have much hope for this draw. He knew that UEFA would not see a team always being so strong. Although it would not happen that last season, Leyton Oriental, AC Milan and Barcelona were so excessively divided into the same group, but the group where Leyton Oriental is definitely not easy.

Sure enough, as soon as the Champions League group appeared, Xiao Ming laughed.

Leiden Oriental was assigned to Group B. The second-level team in this group is Dortmund, a Bundesliga team that performed well in the Champions League before, and the third-level team is also Dynamo Kiev, who has left a deep impression in the Champions League matches in the past few seasons. Even the fourth-level team is Boavesta, who beat Porto last season to win the Portuguese Super League championship.

Premier League champion, Ukrainian League One champion, Portugal Super League champion, plus a third place in the Bundesliga, these are all members of Group B of the Champions League outside group stage.

However, the worst part is the seed team Lazio who was assigned to Group D. The ones who were in the same group were Turkish overlord Galatasaray, Eredivisie Eindhoven and Ligue 1 champion Nantes, and three league champions were in the same group. Whether Lazio, who had lost too many stars, can withstand such an impact is really an unknown. Thinking about them, Xiao Ming's heart is much more balanced.

In fact, there are three league championships on the surface in this group, but in Xiao Ming's view, there is only one threatening one. After losing the two forward stars Shevchenko and Rebrov, Dynamo Kiev is no longer the team that once swept across Barcelona. Although Boavista surprised everyone last season and won the Portuguese championship, this team has neither background nor any star support. As long as Leiden Oriental does not have any problems, it is still no problem to obtain the right to qualify from this group.

In the European Super Cup the next day, Leiden Oriental will have the opportunity to create history. They have defended the European Super Cup championship before. In history, only two teams, Ajax and AC Milan, can do this. If they can defeat Liverpool for the third time, they will complete an unprecedented three consecutive European Super Cup championships, and will also tie with Ajax and AC Milan in terms of championships!

"For Leiden Oriental, it seems to be an easy thing for them to break or set records. When they first won the Super Cup, they were not cared about. When they won the Super Cup the second time, they were already the defending champions of the European Champions League. This time, will they win the Super Cup championship for the third time and set an unprecedented record? Their opponent Liverpool was defeated by them half a month ago. Can this time stop Leiden Oriental from moving forward?"

Perhaps everyone thinks that Liverpool will never stop Leiden East from moving forward, but Xiao Ming did not take it lightly.

Liverpool people are eager for honor and are crazy. They will never give up any opportunity to win honor in the European arena, because in the hearts of every Liverpool people, they are extremely eager to recreate the great era when the Reds swept Europe.

At Louis II Stadium, Liverpool, who was considered at a disadvantage before the game, still performed extremely tenaciously and outstandingly.

In this game, Hollier adjusted the starting lineup, and Carragher appeared in the left back position. The original left back Liser played as the left forward, while the Croatian Biscan replaced Carragher's central defender. Because of the existence of Haman, this defender is increasingly appearing in the central defender position, and his heading ability and height also allow him to perform well in this position.

The starting lineup sent by Xiao Ming is no different from the previous game. Except for Fanny who was placed on the bench and replaced by Klose because of some minor injuries, all the other main players still started.

Lisser, who was placed on the left front by Hollier, performed extremely active. His positioning premise made Liverpool's midfielder tougher, while Leiden Oriental dealt with the opponent with technical advantages. Veteran McCallister performed extremely active, and even Markle could not hold on to him.

However, no matter how tough it is, Leiden Oriental still has an absolute advantage in the midfield skills, not to mention that their offense is more concentrated on the wing. Although Kloze is far inferior to Van Nicht in terms of comprehensiveness and continuity, his ability to grab points in front of the goal is still above Van Nicht. Ronaldo kept withdrawing from the penalty area to cooperate with Figo and Klaze, leaving Kloze alone in the penalty area and seemed even more like a fish in the water.

Leiden East scored the first record in the fifteenth minute after the start of the game. Klose scored the goal. After Jinklaze came down from the side, he made a beautiful cross. Under the attack of two centre-backs of 1.9 meters tall, Klose, who was only 1.82 meters tall, made a good interpretation. It may not be just about height on the football field. He jumped between Biscan and Huntz, and then a beautiful lion shook his head. The ball flew trickle to the upper right corner of the goal. Facing this header that was close to the goal, Westved, who performed well in the Charity Shield Cup game, just waved his hand symbolically, and the ball flew into the goal.

"Leedon East has taken a powerful step towards history!" espn's commentator shouted.

But Liverpool quickly proved that they did not want to surrender. In the 27th minute, Liverpool made a successful counterattack. Harman's long pass from the backcourt fully demonstrated Irving's speed. Although Campbell, who was returning to defense, blocked Irving's route directly facing the goal, Irving still made a beautiful over-top cross near the baseline. The ball bypassed Daniel who returned to defense and flew to Riser who was forward of assist. Daniel did not go up and blocked it immediately, but planned to wait for the opponent to stop the ball before defending. However, Riser did not stop the ball, but directly swung his foot to shoot a world wave. Although this powerful shot, Jass Kleinen reached out to block the ball, it still failed to stop the ball from entering the net, and instead injured Jass Kleinen's wrist.

"Damn it!" Xiao Ming looked at Yassaklein in a daze and reached out to signal his wrist to be injured. He knew that this guy, Riss, had a great shot. Not only did he set his shooting power to full value in some football games, but he also broke his calf when he blocked his legs in the game. But he never expected that Yassssaklein would actually get injured by saving this shot...

"It's just a contusion, and it will recover in about half a month, but he can't play in this game."

Listening to the report of Levine who checked Yasquelanin, Xiao Ming could only let the substitute goalkeeper Paul Gerrard speak for nothing. Fortunately, Paul Gerrard is a reassuring substitute, otherwise Leiden East, who has been almost all-time at Yasquelanin, would have encountered a goal shortage.

Paul Gerrard's appearance made all fans who want to see Leiden Oriental make history a little worried, because any fans who are familiar with Leiden Oriental know that in the past few seasons, Paul Gerrard has only been given the opportunity to play in domestic cups and insignificant leagues and Champions League games. Although his performance is average, he has not played in such important games. Will he perform poorly due to nervousness?

Fortunately, Leiden East's defense did not feel panic, and Liverpool did not get too many opportunities in the next game.

With the momentum after the equalization, Liverpool launched a series of attacks. Seeing the opponent's goalkeeper substitution, Liverpool began to increase long shots, and wanted to play Paul Gerrard, who was not warming up, was caught off guard.

Paul Gerrard was out of hand when he saved Harman's first long shot. Fortunately, his second reaction was quick. He pressed the ball on his body before Husky's supplementary shot, which also caused the fans of Leiden Oriental in the stands to exclaim.

Liverpool soon made a comeback. After receiving a pass from McCallist in the penalty area, Bambie did not continue to lead forward, but directly raised her foot and shot from a long time!

This long shot was quite good, but Paul Gerrard made a wonderful save. He lifted up with one hand and lifted the ball out with one hand. Daniel immediately cleared the ball out with big feet.

The applause from Leiden Oriental fans sounded in the stands. Paul Gerrard's save just now was indeed very exciting.

Xiao Ming also felt relieved. Paul Gerrard's save proved that he was not affected by the previous takeover. As long as Paul Gerrard did not have any problems, the defenders would not make any mistakes because they were too worried about behind him, and their energy would be more concentrated when defending. Xiao Ming believed that as long as his defense line was focused, Liverpool's offense would not allow his defense line to withstand any test.

The Leiden Oriental Formation, which had been somewhat retracted to protect the defense, began to push out and fought with the opponent in the midfield. Daniel kept rushing up and down. In addition to defending Riser's attack, he also kept using his assist to suppress Riser, so that he had no time to participate in the offense.

Although Yasquelenen is usually taciturn, she is very popular in the team. So in the following game, even Figo frequently retreated to defend Riser, so that the culprit who injured Yasquelenen would learn some lessons!

In such a stalemate, Leiden East faced the chaotic period when Yasquelanen was suddenly injured and successfully maintained the draw until the end of the first half.

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, Xiao Ming was the first to get up and enter the locker room. He had to prepare well and give Hollier and his team a good look in the second half.
Chapter completed!
