Chapter 176 You Have Kanter, I Have Van Dyke
On January 2017, 1, in the 21nd round of the Premier League, Liverpool played against the relegation team Swansea at home.

In this game, anyone with a discerning eye can clearly see that Liverpool's midfield has softened.

In previous games, Mo Yang's dominance on the field disappeared without a trace, and he returned to the mediocre midfielder of previous seasons.

Mo Yang's injury not only affected Liverpool's midfield operation, but also affected the trident of Salah, Mane and Firmino in the frontcourt.

In the first half of the game, the three of Mane seemed to be struggling very much, and they couldn't connect with Lallana, who was in charge of organizing the offense, at all, which made Liverpool's offense weak.

"It would be great if Yang was here!"

During the intermission, Salah sneaked into Mane's ear and whispered something.

Mane glanced at Lallana next to him, and nodded secretly. He also had this thought in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out, for fear of hurting people's hearts.

Lallana's organization is not bad, but people are afraid of comparison.

Salah and the others, who have long been accustomed to the passing of various gods in Moyang, have not been able to get used to Lallana's attacking thinking and passing methods for a while.

This is the real reason why they couldn't connect with Lallana in the first half. They need time to adapt to the game without Moyang.

Ten minutes after the start of the second half, seeing that the team's offensive end was still not improving, Klopp quickly made adjustments, and he replaced Van Dijk.

After Van Dijk came on the field, what surprised the Red Army fans at the scene was that their defense line was instantly stabilized.

All of Swansea's high-altitude bombings were intercepted by Van Dijk in the air.

Not only that, Van Dijk also dribbled the ball in from time to time, and then sent a very good pass.

He fully demonstrated his own advantages such as dribbling and protecting the ball, organizational ability, and broad tactical vision, which surprised the Red Army fans on the scene.

It made countless Red Army fans suddenly feel that the 7500 million pounds did not seem to be a loss, and faintly felt that they seemed to have made another great signing.

In the 85th minute of the game, Mane received Van Dijk's clearance ball again, ran a long distance along the wing, and then assisted Firmino in the middle to score.

Liverpool relied on this only goal to win Swansea.

After the game, Van Dijk got the highest score in the game, won the first player of the game since he came to Liverpool, and received the collective cheers and applause from the Red Army fans for the first time, and participated in the press conference.

At the press conference, Klopp gave Van Dijk a high evaluation and affirmation, helping Van Dijk break the media's doubts about him.

After the game, as soon as Van Dijk returned home in a happy mood, he saw Mo Yang appearing on the small court in the backyard next door as soon as he got out of the car.

Immediately, Van Dyke rolled his eyes, and the helplessness was written all over his face.

"Monk Hua, come and grab it! Haha!"

"Wang, wang, wang!"

"whimper!……"

After approaching, Van Dyke saw that Mo Yang was actually playing with the dog.

No, exactly the guy was playing with the dog with the ball.

I saw the ball bouncing back and forth on Moyang's feet, like a dancing elf, while Monk Hua stuck out his tongue and wagged his tail, being played like a spinning top.

"Hey! Go back to rest immediately! Otherwise, I'll call the head and ask him to come over and persuade you in person!" Van Dijk pointed to the room and said in a commanding tone. He did not forget Klopp's instructions.

He had really never seen a player like Moyang. He had just returned from Manchester after being discharged from the hospital, and immediately started training with the ball, as if the injury on his body didn't exist.

Although the injury is not serious, it can't be as if nothing happened!

But Van Dyke didn't know that Mo Yang was a blue man with hooks.

"Virgil, I'm almost ready, don't you need to be so nervous?"

Mo Yang was so frightened that the ball fell off, and the little chicken thief Hua Monk pushed him away in an instant, and even barked at Mo Yang proudly.

"What's the matter, look, the congestion is still so serious."

Van Dyke walked up to Mo Yang, and without a word, he lifted the clothes on Mo Yang's back. The purple-black bruise, which was bigger than two slaps, was particularly ferocious.

Mo Yang broke free, and smiled nonchalantly: "It looks serious, but it doesn't hurt much anymore."

Mo Yang endured it in the hospital for two days, and received primary treatment immediately after he was discharged from the hospital, which relieved the tormenting pain.

In the past few days, although the bruises haven't subsided, there is only a little tingling, which basically doesn't affect him to carry out some easy training.

……

On January 1, in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-finals, Liverpool went to the south coast.

Van Dijk started this game. After nearly a month, he has completely integrated into Klopp's tactics.

But whether he is reliable and stable still needs games and time to prove.

Van Dijk played very hard in this game, and he knew very well that this was his opportunity.

Otherwise, once he performs poorly, he is likely to return to the bench.

As a result, Van Dijk's excitement turned into a nightmare for Southampton.

After 90 minutes of the game, Van Dijk achieved a clean sheet against Southampton and helped Liverpool advance to the Carabao Cup final with a score of 2-0.

This made the Saints fans at the scene very uncomfortable. They were clearly the core of their own defense, and they put on someone else's jersey in a blink of an eye.

……

On February 2st, in the 1rd round of the Premier League, Liverpool played at home against Chelsea, which is currently undefeated.

Witnessed by more than 5 fans at the scene, the red-blue battle of the second round of the Premier League kicked off again.

Mo Yang was also present in this game, but he was not alone, but together with Perret, who was invited by the club chairman Henry.

In the box, the long-sleeved and danceable Pere and Henry chatted and laughed happily, but Mo Yang sat aside, his eyes were always on the court and never moved away.

As Mo Yang expected, within 10 minutes of the start of the game, Chelsea showed a strong offensive.

And Liverpool's midfielders simply can't make interceptions.

Good thing they have Van Dyke!

In the No. 15 minute of the game, Liverpool was in danger.

Kante ghostly intercepted Lallana's forward pass in midfield and passed it directly to Willian on the right.

But William was blocked back by Milner in the end.

William seems to be forced to dribble the ball laterally towards the middle, but it is actually intentional. He just wants to draw Milner up and create opportunities for Moses.

Not far into the middle, William suddenly returned the ball to Kanter who was in front of him.

Kante didn't stop the ball and stuffed it directly behind Milner's empty back.

Moses, who was ambushing on the sideline, immediately pulled up his speed and chased the ball.

At the critical moment, Van Dijk miraculously appeared on the right, got the ball before Moses, stuck Moses behind him, and then kicked the ball calmly to Alisson who came up to meet him.

The fans at the scene were very inexplicable and surprised by Van Dijk's sudden appearance on Kanter's passing line.

It wasn't until the big screen playback at the scene that everyone saw that Van Dijk had already started running to the right when William's return was still on the way.

This is obviously predicting Chelsea's attack that has not yet happened in advance.

This discovery made the Blues fans horrified, but made the Reds fans ecstatic.

Seeing Van Dijk's performance, Klopp in the coaching area smiled so much that he never closed his mouth and kept applauding!
This is the defensive core he is looking for, a defensive cornerstone that makes people feel unshakable, and a true leader on the defensive front.

So the next game completely became a personal performance show of Van Dijk and Alisson.

In Liverpool's backcourt, all kinds of steals, clearances, interceptions, no matter whether Chelsea is on the ground or in the air, there is no way to cross the mountain of Van Dijk.

Even if he occasionally passed Van Dijk, he still failed to bypass Alisson's ten fingers.

The tacit defense of Alisson and Van Dijk is Klopp's biggest surprise in this game.

In Klopp's eyes, these two guys sometimes cooperate perfectly, and I don't know how this tacit understanding came about.

At this time, countless Red Army fans have been conquered by Van Dijk's performance.

In the end, the red and blue battle shook hands with a score of 0-0, and each took a point and settled down hastily.

But every fan knows that Liverpool did not lose, not because of their good performance, but because of the brilliant performances of Van Dijk and Alisson.

　There are tens of thousands of recommendations, dear friends, give me some help! !
