Emma Watson was the character played by Hermione, the female lead in the Harry Potter movies. Chen Feng was all too familiar with her.
The figure of the young man walked into the contestant passageway.
Finally, they arrived at the lounge.
"Chen Feng, why are you so slow?”Coach Valverde asked in confusion.
"There was an accident just now." Chen Feng smiled apologetically." Let's change into the jersey."”Valverde smiled as he spoke. He still regarded Chen Feng with great importance. Chen Feng's foundation was extremely good.
Within the Chinese Football Association.
Silver Fox Lippi woke up in the middle of the night and turned on the live broadcast on TV with the officials of the Football Association and Xu Jiayin of Hengda.
CCTV5's commentator was already in position.
The newspapers and news that were all about takeout were all conveying a message.
Chen Feng, a Chinese player, had joined Barcelona. Tonight might be his debut.
Coincidentally, Chen Feng appeared on the list of 20 players for Barcelona's match against Liverpool.
"It's about to start." Lippi raised his glasses.
Xu Jiayin and the others smiled bitterly. Although what Lippi had said made sense, it was impossible for a Chinese player like Chen Feng to become a Chinese citizen.
This was because China did not recognize dual citizenship.
It was even more impossible for the country to open a backdoor for a professional player like Chen Feng. Unless this was a professional player with extraordinary strength, perhaps even a world-class existence.
Valverde began to recite the starting list.
The starting list was, in order, Messi, Suáriz, Munir, the midfielders Rakhic, Niesta, Busquets, the defenders, Pique, Umtiti, Robbeto, and Alba.
Keeper, Little Lion Terstegen.
Chen Feng's absence from the starting lineup was somewhat unexpected. However, he was mentally prepared.
Munir was, after all, a player from Barcelona's La Masia youth team.
It was only when he saw Liverpool's starting lineup that Chen Feng felt relieved.
Liverpool's starting lineup was all in the league. Sturridge, Coutinho, and Egypt's Messi Salah were all in the starting lineup.
"Let's go. Chen Feng." Andre Gomez smiled at Chen Feng. Both of them were substitutes, which meant that they had a chance to play.
Inside the Anfield stadium, there were no empty seats.
There was a sea of people.
Chen Feng walked out from the players 'passageway.
The figure wearing the number 99 jersey listened to the overwhelming cheers from the audience.
The voice was too loud.
This was Chen Feng's first time participating in an official professional league.
He was extremely nervous.
The players walked onto the field one after another, and the players on both sides began to shake hands.
The cute ball boy stood behind the players.
Caddies were brought along for most of the matches abroad because they represented the future of football. Football should be picked up from children.、
Chen Feng sat on the substitutes 'bench and looked at the Anfield turf. At a glance, this scene seemed like a dream.
Although he was a substitute, he knew that the coach would give him a chance.
Valverde watched every move on the field. "Chen Feng, you should first see how everyone plays football and get a feel for it. The second half will give you a chance.”
"Understood." Chen Feng nodded. He was very grateful for his coach's trust in him. He was not a big star. Normally, new players would need at least a year to adapt to the team before they could become the starting lineup.
Not to mention a passing team like Barcelona.
Liverpool's starting lineup: strikers Salah, Mane, Mane, and Salah were all young and aggressive professional players born in the 1990s.
Midfield lineup: Milner, Venaltum, Coutinho, Chamberlain.
On the defensive line: Albertson, van Dijk, Gomes, Arnold
The goalkeeper was a man with golden hair, a burly appearance, and a wild European nature, Carrius.
In the distance, in the Liverpool technical area, the manager had already stood up.
He waved his fist.
He was a man in his forties or fifties with light blond hair. He waved his fist." Kill Barcelona!" This coach was too ruthless.
Of course, the reason why he was like this was because before the match.
Suárés once had an in-depth conversation with Liverpool's midfielder, Coutinho, alone. No one knew what they were talking about.
The Liverpool officials received a transfer application from Barcelona before the game: 150 million euros to buy Coutinho.
Most professional teams would respect the player's wishes, even though the transfer rights were in the hands of the club.
Chen Feng was shocked as he looked at the Liverpool manager.
Klop was a very passionate manager who played offensive football.
At the start of the game, Kloppe signaled everyone to surround the front of his penalty area and defend with an iron bucket formation. This was not in line with his character.
Chen Feng frowned slightly, feeling somewhat uneasy.
Barcelona chose to attack from the start.
Chen Feng sat in his seat, drinking water as he observed the situation in the arena.
Liverpool's defensive lineup was 4 - 4 - 2.
It was easy for Barcelona to control the ball in the early stages.
Especially in the midfield where Xiaobai and Busquets were in, after Barcelona started running, the whole team cooperated perfectly and the passes were very exquisite.
Liverpool's attack was suppressed in the half by Barcelona's bombardment.
However, very soon, Chen Feng sensed that something was amiss.
Whether it was Messi or Suárés, it was very difficult to receive the ball in the front field.
"Is Liverpool crazy?" Valverde's expression changed drastically. He did not expect Liverpool to choose to face it with their entire starting lineup at the start of the game.
Moreover, in a friendly match, they dared to play a defensive lineup.
This was not in line with Liverpool's style.
The iron-blooded Red Army had an unlimited offensive lineup.
But now, they were attacking Basaro and abandoning their usual attacks.
Although Barcelona's footwork was exquisite, they could not take down the attack for a long time.
Messi broke into the penalty area, passed two players, and passed the ball to Suárés in the penalty area. Suárés tried to catch the ball, but at that moment, the ball was successfully intercepted by Liverpool's defender, Milner.
Milner sent a long pass over the top half of the field.
Busquets quickly returned to defend, and Alba sprinted, trying to interfere with Liverpool's long pass.
An African figure appeared.
His speed was so fast that it was unbelievable. He stopped the ball with ease with his chest in one go. He accelerated under his feet and looked into the distance.
A gap appeared at the 15-meter slope.
Salah passed by Alba, who was defending, and Alba tried to pull someone from behind to stop him.
"This is bad." Chen Feng was shocked. Who was this Egyptian? The speed was too fast.
The referee indicated that the attack was advantageous.
A long pass.
Mane successfully reversed the offside and charged into the position 20 meters away from the goal.
Facing Robert's defense, he passed the ball back.
The ball was passed to the Egyptian, Salah, who had passed the ball earlier.
Salah looked very similar to Messi, so many people called him Messi.
After he received the ball, he faced the goalkeeper Terstegen and shot a powerful shot from the penalty area.
The ball flew straight into the blind spot.
1 - 0, Barcelona fell behind.
Chen Feng clenched his fist and stared at the scene before his eyes in disbelief.
He took a deep breath. This Liverpool team was too scary. Just this counterattack had made Barcelona's defender look like a fool.
