I started with Torres, to revive German football

Chapter 328 Liverpool’s bright future
Just as Liverpool was in turmoil, Klopp made an extremely bold decision at this time.

He did not choose to have too much entanglement with Manchester City in the midfield. Not only did he want to change formations to speed up, he also directly chose to make substitutions!
Call him a gambler or a tactical genius.

Shortly after the game restarted, when Alexander-Arnold finished warming up and stood on the sidelines ready to come on, countless Liverpool fans gave Klopp their own cheers and applause because of this substitution decision!
They will never back down, and they will never surrender early!
If Manchester City wants to slow down the pace, then Liverpool must work hard to speed up!
Now Liverpool's three forwards on the field can all play wide. Liverpool lost miserably in the midfield confrontation with Manchester City today, so now they don't play anymore!

"This is an adjustment and substitution that surprised everyone! Klein was replaced, and young player Alexander-Arnold, who was only three months away from turning 19, was replaced!
Replacing a fast offensive full-back at this time is enough to show Liverpool's determination to defend their home court!
Klopp knew that fighting in the middle of the midfield was a dead end, and Liverpool couldn't suppress Manchester City's offensive on both wings, so he chose to hedge from the wings!

If you can't defend, then strengthen your offense and use the same wing attack to force Manchester City's two wingers to restrain!A very courageous adjustment! "

Fortunately, Andy Gray was well prepared. I was both surprised and excited. The game is getting more and more interesting now.

Manchester City's strong suppression and goal scoring were what all fans had expected, but Liverpool's tenacity and boldness were a complete surprise.

This is the rhythm to carry resistance to the end!

Even at Manchester City's home court, this Liverpool team did not put down their dignity and tenacity, and indeed gained the favor of many neutral fans and commentators.

Zhao Jinge also had to admire Klopp's courage on the court.

Today's Alexander-Arnold is not the number one attacking full-back in England a few years from now.

Highway 66 has only represented Liverpool's first team this year and is still under 19 years old.

Entrusted by Klopp with an important task in such a situation, Zhao Jinge didn't know whether Arnold could withstand the pressure.

But objectively speaking, Klopp does value him very much and has indeed given him the best stage to become famous in one battle.

Cancelo looked at Arnold, who was as thin as a quail in front of Mane, and felt funny.

It doesn't count as contempt, it's just that the opponent's coach is taking it for granted.

But after looking at Salah who ran to his side, Cancelo cheered up.

So far in the first half, Salah has only shot three times, and only one of them hit the door frame. It seems that he is not performing well.

But his ghostly movement and aggressive fighting still caused a lot of trouble for Manchester City's defensive players.

Laporte was almost stunned by Salah before.

If Stones hadn't fallen to the ground in time, Salah might have had a chance to stand alone.

Good technique, coquettish running position, the key is that the body is very strong.

Stones and Laporte are not afraid, but Cancelo will have a harder time facing Salah.

Therefore, Cancelo did not dare to be careless. Salah was a threat that he could not relax his vigilance against.

You know, Egypt's Messi has scored goals in four consecutive Premier League games. He is in great form and cannot be targeted too much.

Klopp's tactical adjustments have maximized support for several forwards.

Firmino and Salahera were also very active at the back, and Coutinho's precise long passes gave them many one-on-one opportunities with Manchester City defenders.

Although Firmino and Kyle Walker had already played against each other several times in the first half, they were still testing each other.

After the two face each other, they can be regarded as winning or losing each other on the offensive and defensive ends.

On the other side, Arnold's performance was quite satisfactory, but he still dared to make moves. After pressing directly into the hinterland of Manchester City in the attack, he did not show any fear in front of Cancelo.

But asking him to do more is a bit of a challenge.

After all, although Cancelo is young now, he is also at the level of a top European defender.
For Arnold, who was not yet 19 years old, if nothing else, he was completely overwhelmed by his physical fitness alone.

Arnold's speed advantage cannot be taken advantage of by Cancelo.

Therefore, compared to the right wing, Liverpool's left wing offensive is still not very active, and Coutinho still needs support from time to time.

Because Manchester City changed their game tactics before, they did not form an offensive situation with Liverpool. Instead, they safely deployed their defense in the midfield and backfield.

Yaya Toure and De Bruyne are very focused, and with Kante who can pull in to help defend at any time, Manchester City's defensive efficiency has always been online.

All they have to do now is wait patiently for the next opportunity.

Either they launch a counterattack and score a goal before the end of the first half, or they control the situation until the halftime break. No matter which result, Manchester City can happily accept it.

Time is completely on Manchester City's side, so there is no need to rush, and Guardiola is firmly on the Diaoyutai.

But Zhao Jinge always feels that Liverpool has more than that. If you think about it from his perspective, will Klopp, who understands Salah's abilities, only design the most basic offensive tactics for Salah?

It's like Guardiola designed at least four or five sets of exclusive offensive tactics around Zhao Jinge.

Whenever the situation cannot be opened or is in danger, Guardiola seems to be very confident because he can play Zhao Jinge's trump card.

Salah's personal ability has not yet evolved to the top level in Europe, but it has also reached the top level in Europe.

No matter how stupid Klopp is, there is no way he would leave such a big treasure and not make more fuss about it?
Unfortunately, there is no chance of a dead ball now, and Zhao Jinge cannot run back to give Yaya Toure and the others some advice.

Otherwise, he will definitely let his teammates in the backcourt pay more attention to Salah's running habits.

Once Liverpool's tactics change, the areas where Salah often ran before are likely to become Liverpool's breakthrough points.

This intuition doesn't have much tactical persuasion, but Zhao Jinge has this strong premonition.

As time went on, Liverpool's attacking tempo seemed to slow down.

The fans on both sides saw that there was not much time left in the first half, and they also slowly died down.

Zhao Jinge glanced suspiciously at Klopp, who was standing on the sidelines with his arms folded and a calm look on his face, and felt shaken in his heart. "Maybe Klopp really didn't plan the tactics for Salah? He didn't plan to let Salah cover Firmino and let Firmino be the main attacker, right?"

A series of question marks appeared in Zhao Jinge's mind.

Just as he was trying to understand Klopp's brain circuit, Liverpool midfielders Henderson and Wijnaldum formed a double-team on Mane who was holding the ball. Coutinho quietly started to move forward. Insert.

Zhao Jinge caught a glimpse of Coutinho's movements from the corner of his eye, and he subconsciously ran after him!

"Gary! Watch Coutinho!!!"

The roaring reminder had just sounded, and Coutinho had already received the direct pass sent by Henderson after stealing the ball. It was already too late for Kanter to limit interference!
"Beautiful double-team defense! No foul! Coutinho went forward!"

Klopp clenched his fists and stared at Coutinho, who was rushing forward on the field, and suddenly felt a sense of expectation in his heart.

Coutinho looked up and observed, then swung his leg and sent a long pass!
The football drew a fatal trajectory in the air, heading towards Manchester City's defensive third on the right half!

Egyptian Messi suddenly started running diagonally when Coutinho advanced, running directly behind Manchester City's two central defenders from the side path.

Cancelo subconsciously went to mark him closely. When Coutinho's long pass came to his side, he realized something was wrong!
"Firmino!!!"

The Sky Sports commentator got excited.

Salah and Firmino almost completed a cross movement. Salah helped Firmino take away the defensive attention of Cancelo and Stones, while Firmino rushed towards He found the slightly open left wing!

Yaya Toure quickly chased back, Stones roared and commanded the defense, and Laporte retreated to the penalty area.

Stones focused on Sturridge who followed up from behind, while Firmino left it to Laporte to deal with.

There is no problem with such defensive marking. Laporte's frontal defense has always been strong.

Even if Laporte is approaching Manchester City's penalty area at this time, it is difficult for Laporte to make big moves, but there is no problem in blocking Firmino's shooting angle.

Firmino faced the football falling from the air and stopped and unloaded it in one go. Many neutral fans cheered in unison.

His advance continued, while Laporte got stuck in the defensive position and stepped back slightly.

Everyone is looking at Firmino, wondering what method he is going to use next to get himself a shooting space.

Firmino soon moved too, not by changing the direction of the ground or accelerating in a straight line, but by picking the ball and cutting inside!

His connection movement was very fast, and he suddenly picked the ball while dribbling. Laporte could only follow the deflection direction to block his path.

But Laporte's weight is there, not to mention the sudden turn, and it is really difficult for him to keep up with Firmino's flexible body, which is just over 1.9 meters tall.

What Firmino wants is this moment of opportunity.

He doesn't need to continue dribbling.

Laporte was half a step behind, leaving him enough space to display his shooting ability.

So under the gaze of tens of millions or even over [-] million fans, Firmino barely adjusted his steps and swung his legs to shoot the football that had not yet completely landed!
This volley from the edge of Manchester City's penalty area was very powerful. The key was that it was sudden enough!
Joe Hart's reaction was quick enough, but his height has indeed become his shortcoming at this moment, because his outstretched fingers may end up being only one or two centimeters away from the football!
This distance of two centimeters allows the football to smoothly penetrate into the far corner of Manchester City's goal!
"GOAL!!!!!!"

"Firmino!!! The ball went in!!! Joe Hart did not reject the Brazilian striker's shot! Firmino successfully helped Liverpool get a goal back! It's incredible!" Hitting the goal without stopping the ball! So beautiful! Liverpool’s tenacity!”

The Anfield commentator at the scene was extremely excited and moved by Liverpool's toughness and tenacity. Andy Gray on the other side admired Firmino's shot even more.

"Beautiful, indeed beautiful! Firmino's shooting skills are great, and the level of this shot is quite high!"

Joe Hart fell to the turf, and the always optimistic and good-tempered Great British Gate hammered the ground hard and cursed.

Laporte pursed his lips and said nothing, his eyes full of annoyance.

He hesitated just now because Firmino pushed forward too quickly, and he was afraid that if he made a strong attack, Firmino would get a penalty kick.

But now that the worst has come, it's no use regretting it.

Laporte stared at Firmino's excited figure running towards the corner flag, and like Joe Hart, he lowered his head and cursed.

Against the background of thousands of Liverpool fans celebrating wildly, Zhao Jinge looked at Firmino being lifted up by his teammates, and then looked at Klopp, who was kneeling passionately on the sidelines after changing his previous calm, and couldn't help scratching his head. Scratching your head.

"It seems that not only Guardiola can act, but the German head coach with thick eyebrows and big eyes is also an excellent actor!
Bringing in Arnold, it's useless, he just attracts the attention of his own defense with Salah! "

This time Liverpool's offensive method is not a specific rehearsal, there is a ghost.

Zhao Jinge's previous guess was also correct. He said that Firmino and Coutinho were definitely not running to the left simply because they wanted to help Trent Alexander-Arnold and Salah open up the situation!
As expected, Arnold and Salah are just cover and tool men, the real killer move lies in the connection between Coutinho and Firmino!

But it has to be said that no matter what the tactical arrangement is, Firmino's movement, passing and shooting in this goal were all exciting enough.

The moment he scored, I don't know how many fans blurted out the words "Shetter".

Because this shot was too decisive, too crisp, and too beautiful!
Guardiola kicked an empty water bottle away from the sidelines and walked quickly back to the coaching bench with a face on his face.

When the commentators who were still in excitement saw this scene, they all knew that Manchester City was going to make adjustments again.

After Firmino's stunning goal, the situation on the field changed again.

No one dares to say that Manchester City will be able to stabilize Liverpool until the end of the game, and the game will develop in a direction that countless fans cannot predict!

This way of scoring allowed Liverpool to stand upright in the ring and stand in front of Manchester City.

Just like when Manchester City stood on the stage and challenged other European powers!
At this moment, many fans suddenly had a very strong premonition.

Liverpool relies on the current group of young people and under the leadership of Klopp, as long as it can continue, it will definitely have a bright future!
