Chapter 154 Saints Southampton
After the international break, the major leagues will start playing in full swing.

On November 11th, in the 19th round of the Premier League, the Liverpool team went to the south coast to face Southampton, known as the saint, at St. Mary's Stadium.

Southampton has a reputation as a wealthy killer in the Premier League. It once made the Premier League big6 frightened, and it is also the Premier League's star factory.

Real Madrid's Bale, Manchester United's Luke Shaw, Chelsea's Chamberlain, Tottenham's Alderweireld, and Liverpool's current Mane, Lovren, Lallana, Klein and others are all from Southampton pause.

Klopp knows very well that Southampton is an extremely difficult nut to crack.

But because the players have just finished participating in the national team game, the journey is tiring, and there will be a second match against Monaco four days later, which will determine their final fate in the Champions League.

So in this game, he had to carry out a large-scale rotation, putting Moyang, Salah, Mane, and Matip all on the bench.

Fortunately, Coutinho and Karius returned from injury in time.

After the game started, Klopp stood on the sidelines and began to observe Southampton's defensive core Virgil van Dijk from all aspects.

The more Klopp watched, the more elated he became!

Super defense without shortcomings, super physical fitness, overall tactical vision, excellent ball organization ability, and excellent scoring ability, this is simply a central defender tailored for his tactics.

As long as he takes down this guy, he can completely liberate Mo Yang.

But soon, Klopp couldn't laugh anymore.

In the 26th minute of the game, Liverpool got an excellent counterattack opportunity, and the offense quickly hit the top of the Southampton arc, but it was Van Dijk who marked Coutinho.

Coutinho changed his rhythm left and right to break through, but Van Dijk just didn't fall for it.

After finally swaying a little shooting space, Coutinho immediately kicked up and wanted to shoot at the far corner of the goal, but was blocked by Van Dijk's long legs.

Coutinho was completely out of control and wanted to pass the ball, but as soon as the ball left his feet, Van Dijk seemed to know it in advance, and blocked the ball back.

Not only that, but he also took the opportunity to squeeze Coutinho behind him, got the ball, then turned around and strode the ball towards the midfield.

Facing the pressure from Sturridge and Emrejan, Van Dijk was as stable as a mountain, showing the characteristics of being tall and flexible, and even brought the ball out with his excellent ball protection and strong body. .

"God! This Dutchman is so strong!"

On the bench, Salah, Mane, and Moyang were all dumbfounded and turned their heads to look at each other. Why is there another monster!
After playing so many rounds in the league, the three brothers have never seen a central defender defend Coutinho so hard, not even giving a chance to pass the ball.

After Van Dijk broke through Liverpool's midfield defense with the ball, he directly distributed the ball to Raymond on the right.

Raymond went down the sidewalk and was entangled tightly by Milner who was stuck in the inside position. He forced a cross and was blocked out of the bottom line.

Southampton won the second corner of the first half.

The corner kick was sent, looking directly for Van Dijk in the penalty area.

Van Dijk saw the ball coming, and he, who was double-teamed by Klavan and Gomez, jumped up on the dry ground, and pressed his forehead precisely on the ball.

The ball went into the goal from Alisson's right hand, but the distance was so close that he didn't have time to react.

After scoring the goal, Van Dijk ran wildly with open arms, receiving cheers from the fans in the stands.

In the coaching area, Klopp was dumbfounded!

This height, this jumping ability, this header, this body, is simply amazing!
At this moment, the situation made Klopp feel that he had to immediately increase the offer after returning, even if he was spending money on him, he had to send this guy to Liverpool.

Anyway, the negotiations with Barcelona are coming to an end, and Coutinho will leave in the winter window with a high probability, in exchange for hundreds of millions of euros, and some money!

"Sadio, can you beat him?"

On the bench, Salah looked at the field in a daze, and suddenly asked a question.

Ma Nei shook his head like a rattle, "Can't do it, absolutely can't do it! This guy is too strong, and his stealing ability is too strong!"

In the past few 10 minutes, he could see clearly that the physical confrontations of Henderson, Emrejan, and Leiwa were all instantly killed by the Dutchman.

As long as this guy stretches his foot, 90% of the ball will be broken by him.

"God, Southampton is such a strong central defender!"

In the commentary stand, Bergling looked like a ghost when he saw Liverpool's attacks being resolved by Van Dijk one after another.

It wasn't the first time he watched Van Dijk's game, but he always felt that this guy was extra energetic in this game, as if he was stimulated by something.

In the extra time of the first half, Southampton once again got a set kick 35 meters away from the right.

Hoybil directly sent the ball into the Liverpool penalty area.

Among the crowd, a figure leaped high, and it turned out to be Van Dyke again.

Van Dijk accurately predicted the landing point, squeezed away Gomez with his strong body, and jumped up successfully, but it was a pity that the top was too straight.

"What are you doing? Keep an eye on the Dutchman!"

Alisson, who was still in shock, yelled at Klavan, Gomez and others.

Gomez's face was a bit ugly. This is the second time he has been suppressed by the Dutchman. Heck, is this body made of iron?
In the restricted area just now, he pulled and tugged, almost tripped, but he still couldn't stop this guy from jumping up.

In the 62nd minute after the start of the second half, Klopp made a substitution adjustment and directly replaced Mo Yang and Salah.

This game must not be lost, even if you can't win, you can get a point.

After Mo Yang came on the field, he immediately controlled the rhythm of the game, curbed Southampton's offense, and brought great changes to Liverpool's offense.

The most obvious change is that the number of offenses directly doubled, but they still couldn't penetrate Southampton's defense guarded by Van Dijk.

The suspension lasted to 81 minutes. During this period, Mo Yang accurately passed the ball over Southampton 6 times, but every time Van Dijk cleared the ball, 5 accurate through balls, but the offense Or because Van Dijk ended it.

This guy is very smart. Instead of intercepting the pass, he instead marks the receiver. That's how Mo Yang's attack was terminated.

Moreover, Van Dijk would kick the ball out from time to time after getting the ball, quickly organizing a sharp counterattack for Southampton.

Mo Yang has never seen such an all-round central defender, he is really too strong!
If this guy can come to Liverpool, he feels like he doesn't have to come back to defend every time, and can focus more on offense.

In 85 minutes, Mo Yang faced Van Dijk's defense for the first time at the front of Southampton's penalty area.

Seeing Mo Yang who was slowly dribbling the ball in front of him, Van Dijk's alarm immediately went full.

They analyzed this kid in detail before the game. He has a sharp breakthrough, a terrifying sense of the ball, and can often pass some very creative and beautiful passes.

The only downside is that the shooting is too bad, so don't worry about this kid shooting long shots from outside the penalty area.

Van Dijk clasped his arms and focused his attention like never before.

During the period when Mo Yang was on the court, he put a lot of pressure on his defense.

The huge field of vision that would be instantly captured every time there was a hole in the defense line made him feel extremely magical and horrifying.

Mo Yang swayed a few times, seeing that Van Dyke's center of gravity did not shift at all, he knew that he was completely seen through, so he could only do non-violent non-cooperation.

In Van Dyke's sight, Mo Yang suddenly started to pedal the bicycle, but just after shaking it a few times, he saw that Mo Yang's left heel accidentally touched the ball, directly slipped under Mo Yang's crotch, and rolled to the back of his right foot.

Van Dyke instantly decided that Mo Yang had made a mistake, and went straight to grab it.

But as soon as he took a step, Mo Yang quickly raised his right foot and stepped on the ball.

Immediately, the ball bounced directly, and then Mo Yang hooked back with his right foot, and the ball flew directly over his head.

Van Dyke looked like a ghost, he had never seen such a fairy ball feeling.

Seeing that Mo Yang was about to rush into the penalty area from the left, Van Dijk immediately attacked in a hurry.

Mo Yang had no power to resist, and instantly pulled back and fell down.

"Beep!"

The referee blew his whistle and pointed directly at the penalty spot.

Van Dyke shook his head with his hips on his hips and smiled wryly. He was still slow. The moment he pulled people, he actually saw that Mo Yang's foot had already stepped on the penalty area.

But he still didn't let go, he was betting that the referee would not see it, but unfortunately he lost the bet.

In the end, with this penalty, Liverpool took a difficult point at St. Mary's Stadium with a score of 1-1.

"Hey boy!"

After the game, Van Dijk approached Moyang directly, took off his jersey and handed it to Moyang without saying a word, regardless of whether Moyang accepted it or not.

After Mo Yang exchanged jerseys with Van Dijk, he walked off the field side by side with him, "What's your name!"

"Virgil!" Van Dyke laughed.

"You are really strong!" Mo Yang gave two thumbs up.

"You are stronger! I can't guard against you!" Van Dyke put his arms around Mo Yang's shoulders, "Your name is Yang?"

"Yes!"

The two talked and laughed and walked towards the player tunnel, chatting along the way.

Van Dijk was so energetic in this game, but he actually had a purpose.

He wants Klopp to know his strength.

He already knew about Liverpool and the club discussing his transfer.

No player can refuse a giant, and Van Dijk is the same!
He hopes to get more top honors, a higher weekly salary, a better life for his family, and also hopes to compete with a higher level of team!

And Southampton can't give him these, so he has to go!

Liverpool is a very good choice!

He once had a chance to enter the giants, but unfortunately Arsenal did not choose him in the end, and chose the Brazilian Gabriel.

　New week, please count the votes! ! !
