There are really a lot of fans at the scene. The Liverpool fans are all staring at Klopp now. They all want to see the magic of this German coach. After all, Klopp’s reputation is too great. .

Liverpool fans have high expectations for this season.

Klopp must not let us down!

Crystal Palace fans are also paying attention to this game. They want to see what kind of state Campbell will show when he leads the team against a strong team? Can you lead your team to victory?

Today, a large number of visiting team fans came to Anfield Stadium to watch this game.

Campbell, who was sitting on the sidelines and looking at the court, was a little nervous.

This is not the first time he has coached on the sidelines, but he is still nervous.

But when I thought that he had done everything he could, I felt much better.

At this moment, the referee of this game blew the whistle to start the game.

The first to kick off was the home team Liverpool.

What surprised Campbell and others was that neither Aurier nor Torres, whom Klopp introduced from their Crystal Palace, appeared in the starting list. I don't know why.

Of course, it doesn't matter that Torres is older, Aurier is now in his prime.

Could it be that Klopp brought in Oliye to play as a substitute?

However, in Campbell's opinion, Aurier should be better than Klein.

Mendy, who was previously introduced by Liverpool, appears in the starting list. It seems that Mendy is really Liverpool's main goalkeeper this season.

Schwartz collected information about Liverpool. This season, Mendy started all the warm-up matches for Liverpool. Even after the coaching change, he is still the starter. This shows that Liverpool are really optimistic about Mendy. Mendy should be Liverpool's starting goalkeeper in the new season.

To be honest, Mendy is still very strong. He went to Liverpool, which was a very big loss for Crystal Palace.

Originally, Crystal Palace was reluctant to sell Mendy, but the player wanted to leave and had no choice.

So I can only have dreams in life, and each of them will be wonderful!

Liverpool players and Mendy are familiar with each other, so this game will be difficult!

At this moment, Liverpool's side of the stadium launched a fierce attack. Henderson in the midfield quickly advanced with the ball. Seeing the pressing players rushing towards him, he took advantage of the situation and quickly passed the football through Iger. With Nasio's legs, the football rolled to the feet of Kudi Nao in front.

Coutinho seemed to have eyes in the back of his head and did not stop the ball. Secondly, he pushed horizontally and the football rolled to Abby's feet.

Abby, also translated as Ibby, is a young and famous genius in England.

In 2011, he was signed by Liverpool when he was only 16 years old, and he was regarded as a hope by Liverpool fans.

In the past two years, Rogers has attached great importance to him and given him many opportunities.

His performance has been hit or miss.

But his speed and impact are still very good. Isn't he also the main player of Liverpool this season?

After Ibi caught the ball, he quickly rushed forward with the ball. Facing Robertson who rushed forward, Ibi immediately used his speed and body to attack Robertson. He first carried Robertson with his body and moved forward with the ball. Then he suddenly made a reasonable collision and knocked Robertson away. He immediately cut inside with the ball.

To be honest, this kid is quite smart at playing football.

No wonder Liverpool attaches so much importance to him and gives him so many opportunities.

Cutting inside, he suddenly faced Laporte. He quickly shook his upper body as if he was about to break through. Suddenly he made a cross pass and passed the football to Benteke who came sideways!

Benteke didn't say anything, he just threw his leg with a heavy kick.

With a bang, the football flew towards the Crystal Palace goal like lightning, and the ball was very fast.

The Liverpool fans at the scene were very excited and excited. This is an opportunity, a great opportunity.

In the eyes of Liverpool fans, Crystal Palace goalkeeper Alisson is not good at all. Alisson is a guy who was hastily promoted by Crystal Palace and has no strength at all.

But at this moment, Alisson quickly flew sideways and shot the football out of the baseline with one palm.

Alisson reacted very quickly and made a great save.

Bendtner held his head in his hands and was in disbelief. He was confident about this shot. He thought the goal would definitely be scored. Unexpectedly, the ball was saved. This Alisson is a bit powerful. He underestimated Alisson a bit.

Live all Liverpool

The fans are a bit underestimating Alisson.

Bang bang bang!

Campbell gave the applause to Alisson. His performance was very good. He is indeed the goalkeeper that Mr. Tong Yi has chosen. Amazing!

Tong Yi in front of the TV also kept applauding. The ball was indeed saved beautifully.

Corner kick, Liverpool gets a corner kick!

Coutinho went directly to the corner kick and took the corner kick.

To be honest, there wasn't much choice. Coutinho quickly sent the football into the Crystal Palace penalty area with a direct arc.

In the penalty area, Benteke and Van Dijk directly started a hand-to-hand fight. Van Dijk resisted Benteke, jumped high, and shook his head to push the football out of the penalty area.

But what people didn't expect was that the football flew directly to Liverpool's new captain Henderson outside the penalty area.

Yes, Liverpool's old captain Gerrard announced that he was leaving Liverpool last season. He was going to the major leagues to retire. Liverpool directly gave the captain's watch to Henderson and asked him to carry the new Liverpool forward. ??

Seeing the football flying toward him, Henderson didn't hesitate at all and shot sideways without stopping the ball.

Henderson quickly swept towards the football, and with a bang, Henderson hit the football with hatred, and the football immediately flew towards the Crystal Palace goal like lightning.

The ball is moving very fast and Crystal Palace is in danger!

Snapped!

Alisson soared into the air again and saved the football directly from the bottom line.

To be honest, the Liverpool fans at the scene were shocked!

Is this Alisson so good? Can such a long shot be saved?

To be honest, Henderson also has a very powerful long-range shot. Henderson also completed this long-range shot with extremely high quality, and the angle was also very tricky. But Alisson still pounced on the football. Isn't Alisson too powerful?

Liverpool fans have finally come to their senses. No wonder Crystal Palace sold Mendy so easily. They had already prepared a replacement.

I wonder what Mendy is feeling at this time?

Corner kick, still a Liverpool team corner kick!

Klopp on the sidelines immediately signaled to the Liverpool players in the stadium to make some changes, so that corner kicks should not all be the same. Coutinho understood the intention, and he immediately passed the ball directly to the front of the penalty area, finding the long-range shooting master Henderson!

Henderson saw the ball coming without any hesitation at all, even ignoring Casemiro who rushed out to block the hole of the gun.

With a bang, Henderson volleyed directly sideways and hit the football hard. The football shot quickly towards the Crystal Palace goal. The ball was very fast and the line was very low. Liverpool fans were very excited - the ball was there!

Boom!

The football actually hit Casemiro who rushed out to block the hole of the gun, and then bounced out quickly.

Henderson immediately stretched out his legs to intercept, without even touching the football. The football quickly rolled past him and behind him!

Danger!

Henderson immediately turned his head and saw Salah behind him quickly shunting the football to the wing.

The football rolled quickly to the feet of Mane on the wing. After receiving the ball, Mane immediately ran towards Liverpool's penalty area at high speed.

Counterattack, Crystal Palace's quick counterattack is coming!

Danger! Liverpool is really in danger!

It had just been a corner kick for Liverpool, and basically all the players had pressed into the Crystal Palace half. Now they were left with the goalkeeper and two full-backs waiting. Danger, very dangerous. Liverpool fans were extremely nervous.

Mane quickly moved forward with the ball, not caring about the defense in front of him.

To be honest, Mane is full of confidence. This is an excellent opportunity for their Crystal Palace!

At this time, Liverpool's full-back Joe Gomez came up to defend. But this guy was quickly passed by Mane's quick ball and passed easily. Mane had no excuses and directly used his speed to beat Gomez!

To be honest, Gomez's speed is considered fast among central defenders, but compared with Mane, there is really no comparison.

Mane instantly blasted Gomez and immediately headed towards Liverpool's penalty area.

At this time, Liverpool's full-back Klein, who spent 12.5 million pounds to introduce, immediately moved over and came up to block Mane. Unexpectedly, Mane suddenly made a pass through his crotch, passed Klein directly, and then quickly rushed past Klein and chased the football!

All the Liverpool fans at the scene screamed in shock!

It's dangerous!

Mane quickly chased the football and looked towards the Liverpool goal. Sure enough, as he expected, Mendy was still not particularly confident in his attack, so he did not attack this time, but stayed on the goal line.

Seeing this, the corners of Mane's mouth slightly raised, this ball is there!

Klopp frowned slightly when he saw this. To be honest, even this full-back's defense dissatisfied him. Although this is mainly because Mane is so powerful, it doesn't mean it will be like this, right?

Hey, why didn't Mane be captured?

Yes, Klopp still hasn't given up on Mane and wants to continue to introduce Mane from Crystal Palace!

At this moment, Mane, who entered the penalty area with the ball, suddenly shot into the far corner. The ball was very fast and the angle was very tricky. Mendy reacted very quickly in front of the goal. He immediately jumped out and almost touched the football. The ball rolled into Liverpool's goal without any suspense, and Crystal Palace took the lead.

One to zero.
