Chapter 275 The Difficult Magpie

On October 10, in the seventh round of the Premier League, Klopp ushered in the challenge of the Magpies Newcastle United at Anfield.

After a year, Newcastle United, who returned to the Premier League, achieved 2 wins and 4 losses in the first six rounds, which is not particularly ideal, but the strength of this declining Premier League giant is still not to be underestimated.

Considering that Mo Yang and the others traveled long distances some time ago and experienced the fierce battle in Sparta, Klopp adopted a rotation in this game.

Seeing Mo Yang sitting on the bench, Xiao Hongwen, who deliberately stayed an extra day to watch the game, was a little disappointed.

After these few days of getting along, Xiao Hongwen is not so resistant to Mo Yang anymore. Even if they don't drink, they can chat about football.

But soon Xiao Hongwen didn't have the heart to think about these things, because the game was very hot at the beginning.

Watching football on TV and watching football live are two completely different experiences.

"This looks scary!"

Seeing the players from both sides on the field being shoveled and rolled over from time to time, Wang Rong in the stands in the private room was terrified, "Mo Yang will play later?"

"Should be! They are all professional players, their bodies are different from ordinary people, so they are not so easy to get hurt!" Seeing his mother worrying about Mo Yang, Xiao Di was very happy. Do.

Seeing the fierce fighting of Newcastle players in the midfield, constantly trying to cut off their connection in the frontcourt, and the brutal on-the-spot counter-attack after losing the ball in offense, interfering with and blocking their first-time play tactics, Klopp's face became serious, Newcastle has ideas about this game.

In Klopp's eyes, although the team's state has recovered, it is far from the peak state of the second half of the league last season.

In the 11th minute of the game, Newcastle midfielder Merino suddenly intercepted the ball from Moreno's feet on the right side of the center circle, and then quickly crossed the center and moved to the left, launching a concise and quick counterattack.

Perez kicked straight to Sheavel, who was plugging in on the left, and then Sheavel split the side to Newcastle wingback Ricky.

Rich took the ball on the right side of Liverpool's penalty area and directly put on a posture to break through, which instantly attracted the attention of Gomez and Matip.

As a result, after Matip leaned towards him, the guy suddenly passed back to the ribs in an inverted triangle.

After taking the ball, Xie Weier quickly adjusted, and shot directly to the right post of the goal with his right foot.

Fortunately, Mignolet's concentration was very focused, and he discovered Xavier's intentions early. With a diving dive, Newcastle's high-quality long-range shot was saved out of the bottom line.

After seeing it on the sidelines, Klopp applauded Mignolet's wonderful performance.

The suspension period of Alisson, Karius and Firmino has passed, but in order to let these three guys have a long memory, Klopp still did not let these three people enter the squad for this game.

The three that made Klopp most angry were not taking the lead to go to the nightclub, nor were they fighting with Everton fans, but that they dared to take Moyang to the nightclub. You must know that young people only learn to be bad in a flash.

And Mignolet is also very good at seizing opportunities. These few games have shown a high level, and Klopp is willing to give him a chance, which happens to be able to give Alisson and Karius eye drops.

In the 22nd minute of the game, Liverpool got an excellent chance to score.

Salah sent a corner kick from the left, and Newcastle United pointed forward to prevent leaks, allowing Wijnaldum, who ran to the point, to easily head the goal.

But bad luck, the ball was blocked by the crossbar, bounced to the middle, and landed in front of Lovren, but the big brother made a hasty shot and kicked a lonely kick.

The ball bounced in front of Newcastle defender Russells.

Lascelles turned around halfway to make a clearance, but in a panic, he kicked and passed it directly to Matip.

Matip met the ball back to play Lovren. This time Lovren didn't miss the opportunity and made a quick push with the arch of his foot, but it was still too straight.

The ball was blocked by Newcastle goalkeeper Elliott and bounced to Mane on the left.

Mane stopped the ball and forcibly turned around, kicked directly, but because he lost the angle of the shot, he hit the side net directly.

More than 5 Red Army fans at the scene exclaimed that the wave was higher than the wave, and the consecutive shots in front of the goal failed to score. This goal is a pity.

With the passage of time, the competition between the two sides in the midfield has not stopped.

Although Liverpool has a certain advantage here, Newcastle has no fear.

Their restrictions on Liverpool's players on the ball are very good and timely. From time to time, they can successfully intercept the ball in midfield, and then charge towards Liverpool's penalty area, although they failed to form a goal in the end.

In the 32nd minute of the game, Moreno succeeded in breaking through from the left, and then suddenly passed back to Mane, who was cruising in the ribs after going down the bottom.

Mane got the ball, dribbled the ball horizontally continuously, passed the two Newcastle midfielders, Shelvey and Merino, one after another, and then kicked regardless.

Although Mane kicked forcibly, the quality of this shot was surprisingly high.

The ball drew a long arc in the penalty area, and drilled into the goal against the left post of Newcastle.

Seeing the goal born, Klopp was relieved.

But I never expected that just 5 minutes later, Liverpool's unlucky attributes broke out.

In the 38th minute of the game, Gomez threw a ball from the sideline of Liverpool's front court directly to his backcourt and transferred to the other side through Matip.

The ball came to the left, Mane, Moreno, and Henderson made a triangular pass. After attracting the three Newcastle players, Henderson suddenly made a straight pass to the front of the arc. Sturridge.

As a result, the guy seems to be dozing off, and the ball hastily stopped for Merino.

Merino took the ball and quickly crossed it before Liverpool made a siege.

After Shelvey got the ball, he sent a high-quality through ball without any hesitation.

This pass rolled between Lovren and Matip, and it was given to the Newcastle striker Joselu who succeeded in anti-offside. It was a one-handed goal.

However, Joselu made a small mistake in receiving the ball, allowing Matip to catch up in time in the penalty area, and blocked the block with a sliding shovel the moment Joselu kicked.

But what is speechless is that the ball was not shot by Joselu, but was shoveled by Matip and hit the inside of Joselu's left calf and bounced towards the Liverpool goal.

Mignolet was shaken badly, and when he pulled his center of gravity back, he could only watch the ball slowly roll to the left side of the goal, sticking to the post and crossing the goal line.

The fans at the scene saw the ball on the big screen, and they were all going crazy. They could only laugh and cry and sigh that Liverpool's unlucky DEBUFF was activated again.

In the end, the confrontation between the two sides in the first half ended in a draw.

After the start of the second half, Newcastle and Liverpool's tactics did not make much adjustments, and both sides continued to play in the first half.

The game was at a stalemate for a while, which made the Red Army fans on the scene very anxious. This game must not be lost, otherwise it will be troublesome.

There are only a few teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, and this is the best chance to score points.

Liverpool is now ranked sixth in the league, a full five points behind Manchester City.

If you continue to lose points, the defending Premier League champions this season will be completely hopeless.

Manchester City this season is really terrible, so strong that they all feel intimidated.

In the last two rounds of the league, Manchester City first slaughtered Wolves 5-0, then visited Stamford Bridge, and then defeated Chelsea 3-0.

Now almost all the media in England are optimistic about Manchester City winning this season.

So if Liverpool want to defend the Premier League title, from now on, they must not lose any more Premier League games.

Because sometimes one point can be a desperate advantage like a moat.
