"Oh? Coventry in the English League One? Isn't it our opponent in the FA Cup with Liverpool tomorrow?"

Minamino Takumi suddenly realized the truth.

"Yes, please give me some advice tomorrow, Nanno-kun!"

Billy flattered from the side with a simple and honest face.

"I don't take it as an advice! But I think it would be better for Chinese players to play table tennis."

Minamino Takumi took a sip of wine and then said to himself.

Billy's expression froze, and he was a little at a loss for Minamino Takumi's nonsensical answer.

"Our Chinese table tennis is indeed unrivaled in the world, but there are also many people who play football very well!"

"For example, our Chinese player Wu Sanshi performed very well in La Liga!"

Facing the world-class star in front of him, Shen Xiao returned to the road without any sign of weakness.

As Billy looked at the two people whose smell of gunpowder was getting stronger, he suddenly felt that he couldn't understand.

"Wu Sanshi? If I remember correctly, his team seems to be relegated to the second division soon, right?"

Minamino Takumi said with some disdain.

"Whether the Chinese players are good or not, won't we find out on the field tomorrow?" Shen Xiao said angrily.

"No problem! It's more appropriate for you Chinese players to play in the third tier of the British league!"

"After tomorrow, you will understand that choosing table tennis is the wisest decision for you Chinese people!"

Minamino Takumi took a sip of wine from the wine glass and said slowly.

Shen Xiao suddenly stood up and kicked Billy next to him.

"The wine in this bar is terrible! Billy, let's go!"

"Oh!" Billy nodded inexplicably, and then stood up.

"Goodbye! Mr. Minamino Takumi! I only invite friends to drink, so you have to pay for the drinks yourself!"

Before leaving, Shen Xiao deliberately insulted him and left the bar immediately.

Minamino Takumi, on the other hand, was still sitting elegantly on the sofa, smiling and shaking the red wine in his glass.

It is said that Japanese people admire the strong. When Minamino Takumi found out that Shen Xiao was a player, his attitude immediately changed.

Because in the field of football, he thinks he is the strong one.

Faced with the "weak" they consider themselves to be, they will be unabashedly condescending.

From the hypocrisy at the beginning to the rupture at the end, it only took a few minutes.

Since they were no longer in the mood for shopping, Shen Xiao and Billy left the bar and walked towards the hotel where the team was staying.

"Shen Xiao, although I don't know what the grudges were between you and Nan Ye when they first met, but I can tell that he looks down on you a little!"

Billy said with some confusion next to Shen Xiao.

"Although this is the first time he and I have met, when it comes to grievances, they can be traced back hundreds of years... Forget it, you don't understand!"

"But it's true that Nanye looked down on me just now! Even a stupid person like you can see it!"

Shen laughed, he was not prepared to explain clearly to Billy's questions.

Because, whether it is other fields or the football world...

Always, the strong is respected!

"That Minami looked down on our Coventry team during the conversation just now. I'm very unhappy about this!"

"Shen Xiao, how about we hit them hard in the face on the court tomorrow like we did the previous two times?"

As a Coventry player, Billy was also very angry at others' contempt.

Shen Xiao looked at Billy, who had a serious look on his face. He was really thinking about defeating Liverpool tomorrow.

However, among the leagues currently unlocked by the system for Shen Xiao, there is no FA Cup.

In the past few days, Shen Xiao would look through the system's game unlock records whenever he had time.

However, the answer is still no FA Cup.

Shen Xiao also speculated that the FA Cup might be unlocked after the "stop the ball 100,000 times" mission.

However, what Shen Xiao didn't expect was that he and Billy met Minamino Takumi by chance while hanging out in a Liverpool bar.

But this famous Japanese football star didn't seem to have a good impression of Shen Xiao, and there was a hint of ridicule in his conversation.

It is impossible to say that Shen Xiao is not angry.

But the gap in football strength made Shen Xiao calm down quickly.

He clearly knows that there is no point in fighting with words, and he must use hard power to conquer his opponents.

However, without the blessing of 110+ ability points, can Shen Xiao and the Coventry team from League One be opponents of the powerful Liverpool?

Thinking of this, Shen Xiao smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Shen Xiao, what do you mean by shaking your head? Are you ready to admit defeat in advance for tomorrow's game?"

Seeing Shen Xiao shaking his head, Billy asked eagerly.

"In terms of strength, Liverpool is really strong! They are also the favorites to win the Premier League championship this year..."

"Besides, that Minamino Takumi, our strength is temporarily inferior to him..."

When Shen Xiao faced Billy, he originally wanted to say some words of encouragement, but the difference in strength made him decide to tell his true thoughts.

"Hey! Even you say that, so let's go back to the hotel to wash up and sleep!"

Billy said helplessly after facing the reality.

"Why don't you sleep? Back to the hotel, let's go to the gym for a run!"

Shen Xiao said to Billy angrily.

At this time, Shen Xiao also understood that if you can't fight for strength, then you can only fight for will!

Even if he loses, people like Nanye must know his Shen Xiao's football fighting spirit.

…

Liverpool, Anfield Stadium.

This day is the FA Cup match between Liverpool and Coventry.

Even for this kind of national cup match that is played on a weekday, Liverpool fans still fill the stadium's auditorium.

Looking towards the entire Anfield stadium, it is simply a sea of ​​red.

The fans still sang their classic team song - "You'll Never Walk Alone" before the game.

After passing through the tunnel, Shen Xiao and his teammates looked at everything on the field and were very shocked.

I even feel a little envious of the fan atmosphere here.

When Liverpool's starting eleven for today's cup match came onto the pitch, the stadium was filled with people.

Liverpool's head coach Klopp is still wearing sportswear, a peaked cap on his head, and big glasses on his unshaven face.

After Klopp waved to his players, he relaxedly sat on the bench beside the court with other players.

As one of Liverpool's important signings during the winter window transfer period, Minamino Takumi is not yet the team's main force.

Because Liverpool’s main trident is still: Salah, Firmino and Mane.

But in today's FA Cup match, which is not too important to the team, Klopp will definitely let Minamino play.

Everyone knows that Minamino Takumi is a player that Klopp personally likes.

In this FA Cup match, Liverpool adopted a half-main and half-substitute lineup.

Because Liverpool needs to deal with multiple fronts!

Such a configuration can not only allow the main players to rest, but also allow the substitutes to get training.

At this time, the big screen on the top of the stadium showed the lineup of the home team.

4-3-3.

Forwards: Origi, Firmino, Minamino Takumi

Midfielder: Keita, Fabinho, Shaqiri

Defenders: Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Lovren, Robertson
