I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils - Chapter 427
The atmosphere in the locker room is a bit dull. This game is for Liverpool to be the mainstay. This is what Klopp has already explained. These days, he has been practicing defensive counterattack tactics.
However, many Liverpool players have opinions on Klopp’s tactical arrangement. Klopp’s tactics are too conservative.
“Do you understand what I just said?” Klopp asked.
Everyone shook their heads. Anyway, Klopp is the head coach. Now that he has made arrangements, even if the players have ideas in their hearts, they can only listen.
Of course, if Klopp’s tactics are effective and the result of the game is good, naturally everything will be fine. If you lose, or even lose it ugly, this is the hidden danger of confusion in the Liverpool locker room.
For a head coach, he can lead the team to always win, the prestige naturally comes, and everything he says is right. But when the team is in a bad situation, the prestige of the head coach will be questioned, especially when some of his arrangements and the ideas of some players are different. Once the results are bad, this difference will be infinitely magnified.
………………
A staff member knocked on the door, prompting it to be ready to play.
“Go, this game, we are fighting for the dignity of Liverpool.”
“We must not lose!” Klopp said at last.
Henderson frowned. He opened his mouth, trying to say something, but in the end he didn’t speak.
“The coach is too conservative.” Salah said to Henderson on the way to the player’s aisle.
“Not only conservative, but the coach seems to lack confidence.” Mane also said.
“Okay, don’t say it.” Henderson waved his hand to stop his teammates, and said solemnly, “This game, everyone has to work hard! We can’t let Liverpool’s glory be lost on us, especially our opponents are ours. Rival Manchester United!”
“If we lose, then we are Liverpool’s sinners and will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history!”
Although he has a lot of dissatisfaction with Klopp, as the captain of the team, the war is about to start, Henderson does not want to mess up the military.
Originally, Liverpool’s strength was not as good as Manchester United. At this time, everyone must twist into a rope, think in one place, and work hard in one place, so that it is possible to defeat the invincible Manchester United.
………………
“This is the 2017-2018 UEFA Champions League final. The Premier League’s Red Devils Manchester United will face the Reds Liverpool. Prior to this, the two teams had won 5 Champions League titles respectively. Therefore, whoever wins the Champions League trophy will be overwhelmed. One opponent. This game has attracted the attention of fans in England.”
“We can see that the Kiev Olympic Stadium is full of seats…”
“Before the game, on Liverpool’s side, Klopp repeatedly expressed confidence in winning this game.” Lineker said, “On the contrary, Ye Su did not respond much to Klopp’s remarks.”
“The Manchester United and Liverpool match is about to begin. Players from both sides have already entered the field. Let’s take a look at the starting roster of both sides.” CCTV broadcasted the match live, and Zhan Jun’s voice appeared on the televisions of thousands of households.
“On Liverpool’s side, the goalkeeper is Carrius, and the defensive line from left to right are Robertson, Senegal defender, Lindelof and Arnold. The midfielders are Milner, Henderson and Wijnaldum, the striker Not surprisingly is the fantastic combination of Mane, Firmino and Salah. All three of them have scored in double figures in the Premier League this season, scoring a total of 55 goals, the most goals of any Premier League striker combination. And their performance in the Champions League is even more surprising. Salah and Firmino scored 11 goals each, tied for second place in the scorer list. Mane also scored 9 goals, and the total number of goals scored by the three was 31 goals. , This is a very terrifying number!”
“Manchester United is also the main force. The goalkeeper is teenager Dean Henderson, the four defenders are Luke Shaw, Maguire, Van Dijk and Valencia, and the midfield trio is Kanter. De Bruyne and Bruno Fernandez, and the striker Trident is a combination of Rooney, Harry Kane and Vardy. This combination has performed equally well this season, scoring a total of 51 goals, second only to Liverpool. The striker trident. They also performed well in the Champions League. Rooney scored 10 goals and ranked fourth in the top scorer list. Kane and Vardy scored 8 goals and 4 goals respectively.”
………………
After Zhan Jun introduced the starting lineup of the two sides, the game has already started for two minutes.
Kanter made a sliding tackle and shoveled the football out of the sideline. In order to avoid the tackle, Salah jumped up and almost hit the billboard. He jumped dangerously and avoided.
Taking advantage of this dead ball opportunity, Ye Su blew a whistle from the sidelines and then called the team captain Rooney’s name. After Rooney ran over, he hugged the fat man’s neck and whispered a few words.
Rooney ran back to the court and found Vardy again, covering his mouth and muttering something.
The game continues.
Klopp frowned. He predicted that Manchester United would play a defensive counterattack in this game, but after the start of the game, he found that his prediction was wrong: Manchester United is not conservative, they attacked from the first second of the game.
Manchester United kicked off the ball first. They didn’t even try to come up directly and worked hard, which made the unprepared Liverpool a little uncomfortable.
More than ten minutes after the start of the game, Klopp noticed that Manchester United had been on the right side of Liverpool, which is the side of teenager Arnold.
Arnold is a rising star in the Premier League this season. Today’s Champions League final is the 33rd game of the right-back who has not yet reached the age of 20 for Liverpool this season. It can also be seen that he is important in the Liverpool team. sex.
However, in the face of the combined impact of the powerful winger Vardy and Luke Shaw, known as the world’s first left back, Arnold was obviously struggling and embarrassed.
Liverpool’s defensive midfielder Wijnaldum, and even the Senegalese central defender had to frequently help Arnold defend.
………………
Klopp has been standing on the sidelines, he was panicked, he was worried that Manchester United’s next attack, or even the next second, Liverpool’s right side will be punched through.
At this time, Manchester United’s offensive came again, Vardy and Bruno Fernandez got the ball after a pass and run.
Arnold rushed forward to defend, and Wijnaldum went to fill up the position after Arnold came up.
Facing the experienced, extremely fast, explosive and powerful old demon Vardy, Arnold didn’t dare to take the first step. He kept staring at Vardy’s feet like an enemy.
At the same time, the Senegalese central defender is also protecting the flanks, ready to help Arnold at any time.
Vardy pulled the football ball to his right with his left foot, and suddenly his right foot moved the football to his left foot while leaning forward.
Is this going to break through?
Arnold immediately made a defensive action.
“What about the ball?” Then the young Liverpool right-back found that the football was missing.
………………
“Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful heel knock, beautiful transfer! Bruno Fernandez’s diagonal pass, Luke Shaw got the ball, Liverpool’s right wing is empty!” Lineker shouted suddenly.
Vardy was about to break through, but he kicked and knocked with his heel. With a dexterous and concealed heel knock, the football was passed to Bruno Fernandez.
The Portuguese midfielder did not hesitate at all, taking advantage of Liverpool’s defensive tilt to the right, moved the ball to the other side with a kick.
At this time, Liverpool’s defensive attention was attracted by Vardy’s assault, and he involuntarily tilted to this side, but the left side exposed a large area of space.
Rooney received a pass from Bruno Fernandez, knocked the ball forward, quickly dribbled the ball forward, and when approaching the penalty area, he made an inward cut.
The Liverpool left-back Robertson, who has been fighting and retreating to guard Rooney, did not dare to go blindly. At this time, there is no way to retreat. If he does not intercept, Rooney will enter the penalty area.
Robertson stopped.
………………
The moment Robertson took his foot, Rooney pushed his foot and the football rolled over Robertson’s feet.
Robertson was shocked and turned to chase him, but he happened to collide with Lindelof, who was filling his seat, and the two fell to the ground together.
Harry Kane had just received the ball and was considering how to get past Lindelof. He dodges the shooting angle and saw the two Liverpool defenders collide with themselves and fall down.
He was taken aback, but his action was not slow, he swiped the ball directly, avoided the two of them, and then when Liverpool goalkeeper Carrius was still a little confused, he successfully volleyed the goal.
In the fifteenth minute of the game, Manchester United scored by Harry Kane, who led Liverpool 1-0.
Harry Kane, who scored the goal, ran to the captain who gave him an assist, and high-five Rooney to celebrate. More Manchester United players gathered around and cheered to celebrate the goal~www.mtlnovel.com~Manchester United players celebrated on the court, Ye Suye He was happy like a monkey jumping around with his hands raised in the court. Not far away, Liverpool coach Klopp has a sullen expression.
Losing the ball is something he doesn’t want to see, especially this way of making a concealed goal by his own mistake.
Klopp could see clearly that if Robertson hadn’t hurriedly knocked down his teammate Lindelof, Harry Kane would not have been able to get such a good undefended shot.
This is a big gift package from our side!
“Mistake! Andrew Robertson made a mistake, he knocked down Lindelof, Harry Kane scored a goal, Manchester United laughed at Liverpool’s mistakes package.”
“This lost goal, Liverpool’s own mistake is one of the reasons, but we also have to see that Manchester United’s wonderful cooperation in this counterattack, the attack was launched from the left, and Vardy’s breakthrough alone attracted three Liverpool players. His heel knock was the highlight, Bruno Fernandez quickly scored the ball, Rooney’s breakthrough pass, Harry Kane’s shot, the whole counterattack process was very clear and very fast!”
