Chapter 198
Lin Yi, who had finished his trip to London, finally returned to Liverpool, but on the second day's training ground, Firmino's face was not very good, and he glanced at Lin Yi from time to time, his eyes filled with resentment.

"Fimi, please tell me what's going on, don't look at me like that, I'm under a lot of pressure."

Royce came up, "Fimi made a bet with us, he said that you will definitely find a female star when you are on vacation, and bet that you will definitely appear in the headlines of the media, and then his salary this week has already lost to our team!"

"How can this be a loss, Lin, you tell them yourself, did you go? The main reason is that the British paparazzi are too poor. Germany would have exposed him long ago. The British paparazzi were boasted to be amazing, and this is the result?"

Lin Yi waved his hands helplessly, the paparazzi Fei Mi really knew him, but if he didn't run fast that night, he would have made headlines, and it was his own fault that caused him to lose money.

Putting his arms around Feimi's neck, "Look, this is not knowing how to share. If you tell me about it, you are willing to share half of it with me, so I won't run away when I face the paparazzi."

But maybe it was because he was too excited to finish in London, and his body was a bit empty. After two days of high-intensity training, Lin Yi developed a high fever without warning. Fortunately, the fever subsided before the first game of the league. But Klopp still didn't dare to be careless and chose to let Lin Yi stay on the bench.

After all, the opponent Southampton in the first game is not a strong enemy. After all, it was only ranked 15th last season. This is definitely the bottom team in the Premier League with 20 teams.

The only advantage they have against Liverpool is that there are no lineup changes in the summer split, and there is no need to run in at all.

But facing such an opponent, this new Liverpool performance made Klopp very dissatisfied.

As soon as the game started, the players on the Liverpool field started to attack crazily. The Southampton people were in a panic as soon as they came up. However, Liverpool was only thundering and not raining. They didn't score a goal in the whole first half. Of course, Southampton Under Liverpool's high-intensity offense, it was also painful and unable to counterattack.

Klopp was also impatient with the team's delay in scoring goals. He criticized the players during the intermission and hoped that they could change in the second half.

But the result still disappointed him, so in the 60th minute, he chose to replace Lin Yi, making Lin Yi's debut in the Premier League, and Lin Yi's appearance also won warm cheers from Liverpool fans. Dissatisfied with the team's performance, I hope that Lin Yi's playing can bring changes to the team.

At the same time, Henderson, who performed poorly, was replaced, and Gerrard was brought on as a substitute to take over Henderson's position. He mentioned that the midfielder increased his support for Lin Yi.

As soon as Lin Yi came on the field, Liverpool immediately started to attack frantically.

After Gerrard mentioned the frontcourt, people have already expected that Liverpool's way of playing is very likely to move towards the frontcourt counterattack.But at this time, what people still can't believe is: Liverpool's frontcourt counterattack is fierce, but their midfield interception is equally terrifying!
Gerrard, Royce, and Emre Can's trio sweeping the midfield completely made Southampton unable to overwhelm Southampton. Lin Yi played less than 10 minutes and Liverpool ushered in a chance.

Lin Yi retreated from the left. After receiving the pass from Royce, he did not choose to insert himself. Instead, he made a long pass and gave the ball to Sterling on the right. , After shaking away the opponent, he made a high pass and sent the ball directly into the penalty area.

Firmino didn't choose to hit the goal immediately. He jumped up from the near point and passed the ball to the far point. Lin Yi, who had already rushed up, was less than ten meters away from the goal after receiving the ball from the far point. Without much hesitation, he directly pushed the ball into the goal with a shot from the near corner.

"Goal Lin's first shot after the opening! He broke the gate of Southampton and also scored the first league goal of the season for Liverpool! His performance is worth every penny Liverpool spent on him!!! "

Simple and easy goals!Lin Yi was also surprised by today's foot style. He didn't expect to score with his first shot after playing. Sure enough, at Klopp's request, after giving up a lot of dribbling attacks, his own offense became Stronger, his off-ball speed is faster, and the threat is also not small. When the team has multiple attack points, it will become stronger.

After scoring this goal, just 5 minutes later, Liverpool ushered in another opportunity.This time, after Royce passed the ball to Gerrard, Gerrard was brought down by his opponent and got a free kick for Liverpool.

Because Gerrard felt a little sore in his foot, he handed over the penalty to Lin Yi, which was also Klopp's request. He knew how terrifying Lin Yi's free kick was in the Bundesliga last season. That's not something ordinary animals can do.

"This is Liverpool's chance. They have a great free-kick expert in the team. Sure enough, Lin went to the penalty spot. Will the ball go in? Will it be a direct hit or a cross."

While the commentator was still explaining, Lin Yi had already kicked a free kick.Sktel, who was originally at the back point, ran towards the middle, which made the defensive players at the back point follow along.But Gerrard, who was near the penalty spot, ran to the back point. He rushed forward two steps, a lion shook his head, and smashed the ball towards the goal!
"Gooooal!!!!!! Stephen Gerrard! Our great captain! Scored with an imposing header! Liverpool scored another goal and took the lead 2-0!"

The two-goal lead made Southampton aware of the difficulty of their opponents, and also realized that Liverpool was making efforts and the situation was irreparable, so they began to shrink their defense and focus on counterattacks.

After being dealt with by Royce a few times, Pellet has also learned to be good at this time, and he also knows that if he wants to gain something when he breaks through, he still has to go around Royce.

When he got the ball again, he pushed the ball directly to the side, avoiding Royce, and then stepped up to chase it.

But at this time, the surrounding arena was also full of exclamations.

Pellet heard the voice, and someone chased after him.He quickly accelerated and ran towards the ball, but at this time, Lin Yi had already rushed over from him. After the two collided, Pellet was knocked away by Lin Yi, and Lin Yi controlled the ball. to the feet.

Pellet's kick just now was too far, and the referee would not regard it as Pellet's ball. This kind of one-half chance of the ball, by the standards of the Premier League, such a collision would not be a big deal.

But at this time, Lin Yi had already rushed to the frontcourt, and his counterattack was very fast. During the counterattack, he changed direction twice in a row at the front of the penalty area, throwing off the defender.

This time, he didn't go forward to eat raw, he took a step along the penalty area line, and when the opponent's defender surrounded him, he knocked across and sent the ball into the penalty area.

After receiving the ball, Firmino succeeded in pushing the far corner, and the score was rewritten again!

"Firmino's goal! Liverpool led Southampton 3-0! In the second half, Liverpool finally regained their style!"

Firmino also raised his hands high to welcome the cheers of the fans. Lin Yi rushed up and jumped on his back, and Firmino ran around the field with Lin Yi on his back.

After leading by three goals, Southampton gave up resistance. In the end, Liverpool won the game against Southampton 3-0 and achieved their first league victory of the season. It was a good start for Liverpool this season.

But luck never comes, and misfortunes never come singly. Lin Yi had recovered from his cold and scored two goals in the first league game. This performance satisfied the Liverpool fans very much. The European Golden Boot really deserved its reputation.

As a result, at this critical moment, Lin Yi twisted his ankle in the training game. Although the team doctor found that it was only a minor injury after examination, he had to rest for a week at most.

But for the imminent second league game, Lin Yi couldn't keep up, and the opponent was Manchester City, the most favorable contender for the league title. Last season, Manchester City snatched back the championship trophy that had already been half handed over to Liverpool.

Facing such an opponent, although Lin Yi can't play, Klopp still doesn't want to give up this crucial league. If he gives up like this, he will basically give up the competition for the league championship. The main reason is that Manchester City is still too stable in the league , It's hard to see when they make mistakes. Once the points are pulled away, it's too difficult to recover them.

But what Klopp didn't expect was that what greeted him was a disastrous defeat. The two teams played against each other for the second time this season. Manchester City changed the decline of the previous warm-up match and directly beat Liverpool, although the score was 3:1. , but in fact Manchester City scored four, and Zabaleta gave Liverpool an honor with an own goal at the last moment.

Lin Yi missed the game due to injury, which became the last fig leaf for the Liverpool people. Liverpool fans said that their biggest hole card, Lin Yi, missed the game due to injury. This is the truth of the loss.

But the fans in other regions laughed at them, they were beaten so helplessly in this game, is this something that Lin Yi can change?In the new season, Liverpool still wants to win the championship, and it is a problem to keep their Champions League seats.

Although Klopp is very angry, he also knows that he needs to encourage the players more at this time, because the opponent in the third round is not weak. That is Tottenham, which ranked sixth last season. Luo Pu waited for Lin Yi's return.

He was directly arranged to start, and Lin Yi did not disappoint his trust. Only 5 minutes into the first half, Lin Yi scored a goal, which changed the team's loss to Manchester City.

And just 8 minutes later, Liverpool made another murderous attempt.
"Liverpool took the goal kick and they picked up the pace... Lin broke through fast!"

When the commentator screamed, Lin Yi actually didn't choose to break through. After getting the ball, he took a feint towards the penalty area, and immediately rushed to the left.With a kick past the opponent's supplementary defense, Lin Yi has already seen the defense line in the penalty area approaching. If he makes another impact at this time, the defense line will be in chaos...

After handing the ball to Fei Mi on the wing, Lin Yi was about to run into the penalty area. He wanted to rely on this two-for-one cooperation to get into the penalty area.However, Tottenham defender Kaboul grabbed him directly and pulled him down.

"Liverpool's cooperation made a mistake and Lin was pulled down in front of the penalty area! It was a threatening attack, but now there is no chance."

When Lin Yi got up, the referee had already handed out the card to Kabul. Although Kabul committed a foul, it was not malicious, and he was not the last man in the back line, so what he got was just a yellow card. .

A smart tactical foul.However, it's just about the foul.

Fouling Lin Yi is not a good thing, but it is a pity that the opponent has not studied in Germany, otherwise he will definitely understand this truth.

Glancing at the position of the goalkeeper, Lin Yi began to think about it. The ball is very close to the goal, and neither the arc nor the leaves are suitable.

Then, just cooperate.

Lin Yi kicked the ball to Gerrard who was beside him, and Gerrard immediately passed the ball.Lin Yi took the ball and rushed forward two steps, but at this time, the opponent's wall did not spread out, but all piled up in front of Lin Yi, blocking all his breakthrough routes.

Lin Yi took a step forward with his right foot. He flicked the ball behind his right foot with his left foot, and flicked the ball to the other side, Sterling, who had been emptied.

Sterling raised his foot, swung his leg, and fired a heavy cannon directly at the goal!
"Gooooal!!!! Sterling!! The fierce and violent long-range shot, this kick stunned the Tottenham people!"

Sterling, who scored the goal, swung his arms towards the stands, showing off his muscles.

And this goal also relieved the hearts of Liverpool fans. The opponent is not weak. Tottenham is also a strong team in the Premier League, but they scored two goals in the opening ten minutes, and Liverpool can almost guarantee victory.

"That's a great pass, buddy!" Sterling didn't forget to pat Lin Yi on the shoulder when he turned his head.

And soon, Liverpool's attack came up again. This time, Gerrard took possession of the ball and inserted it. After attracting the defenders, he passed it to Royce. Royce rushed up from the left, and Lin Yi responded. In the past, he received the ball in the ribs of the penalty area, and while turning around, he kicked a fake fax dunk, swayed the player who was grabbing, and then passed the ball directly into the penalty area!
The moment Firmino received the ball, the whistle sounded: Firmino was offside.

This made him very upset. Lin Yi and Sterling both scored goals, but he lost it. This was originally a good opportunity, but it was a pity.

Until the end of the first half, the score did not change.

In the second half, Tottenham, who were not reconciled, launched a fierce attack, but it was resolved by Klopp who was expected in advance. Just by changing the position of individual players, Tottenham successfully plunged into the quagmire.

Tottenham ran and intercepted in the second half, but in the end it was just useless.

Tottenham failed to score until the end of the game. In this game, two goals from Lin Yi and Sterling gave Liverpool a game victory.
