Reborn Liverpool

Chapter 193 Saint's Lore
Zhang Mai and Zhang Yulin only rushed back to Liverpool on the 17th, and the weekend game on November 11th is about to begin.

Zhang Mai came to Liverpool for training the next day, and Klopura went to the office to communicate with him.

why?Because of Zhang Mai's tossing and exhaustion, he had a truce for a round, and Mbappé and Van Dijk, who was slightly injured, also truceed.

If Clotte, who visited at night, hadn't told Zhang Mai the truth, Zhang Mai would have believed Uncle Zha's excuse of being considerate of him.

It turned out that Coutinho had been on hiatus for more than a month, and when he returned to Brazil for the South American World Cup preliminaries, he vomited bitterness to his teammates on the national team.

Neymar, the king of tricks, publicly complained about Liverpool in front of the Barcelona media, meaning that Coutinho is so good that he can’t get a position on the field. Liverpool should let him leave without Coutinho. The Barcelona Cosmos is now dominated by South American players, MSN Killing the Quartet, Messi and Suarez both came forward to call on Coutinho to come to Barcelona.

Barcelona and MSN are still very powerful. Liverpool couldn't withstand the pressure of public opinion and had to force Klopp to use Coutinho.

Knowing that Coutinho and Zhang Mai cannot coexist, Uncle Zha had no choice but to give Zhang Mai a rest for a reason to recover his physical fitness. By the way, he also rested Mbappe, who Coutinho despised.

Zhang Mai didn't care much about these disturbances. The football world speaks for its achievements. In my memory, Coutinho later went to Barcelona as a baby to replace Neymar who left. A year later, he was disgusted by Barcelona and failed to sell. Had to rent out again, which can be described as a miserable end.

Zhang Yulin has flourished in Tranmere and has become Carreno's ace striker. He will continue to compete in the British Championship tomorrow.

11月19日晚23点整，2016-2017赛季英超联赛展开第12轮争夺，利物浦做客挑战南安普顿。

Zhang Mai, Mbappé and Van Dijk stayed at Liverpool and could only watch the game on the TV screen.

This summer, Liverpool brought Mane from Southampton to Anfield for £3400 million.Since joining the Red Army, Mane has scored 10 goals and sent 6 assists in 2 Premier League games. In this campaign, Mane will face his old club.

The relationship between Liverpool and Southampton is not shallow. Lovren and Klein will also face their former owners on the field. The Red Army still sits on the bench of Saints veteran Lallana, and even stays in Liverpool to accompany Zhang Mai. Van Dijk is also a veteran of the Saints.

At present, after 11 rounds of the Premier League, Liverpool has a record of 10 wins and 1 loss, ranking first with 30 points. In the last 6 away games, Liverpool has 5 wins and 1 loss. This campaign will strive to usher in 9 consecutive league matches win.

In the last round of the league, Southampton was reversed by Hull City 1-2 away, and they urgently need to regain the feeling of victory.Last season, Liverpool was a guest at St. Mary's Stadium, and Southampton beat the Reds 3-2.

The big screen on the sidelines displayed the starting rosters of both sides:

Southampton: 4-4-2
1 - Foster;
2-Cedric Suarez, 17-Adams, 6-Jose Fonte, 21-Bertrand;

8-Steven Davis, 14-Romeu, 19-Buffal, 23-Hoibel;

10-Charlie Austin, 22-Raymond.

Liverpool: 4-3-3
1 - Karius;

2-Klein, 19-Matip, 6-Lovren, 7-Milner;
5- Wijnaldum, 14- Henderson, 23- Emre Can;
9-Mane, 11-Firmino, 8-Coutinho.

"Coutinho himself asked to play as a striker. For the sake of the team's performance, Klopp also deliberately put Chamberlain on the bench and sent Henderson, who is skilled in cooperating with the Brazilian."

Van Dijk explained the reason why Chamberlain, who was close to Zhang Mai, could not play.

"Can we beat the Saints on the road?"

Mbappe asked directly about the final result.

"It should be no problem, these Southampton players are mediocre..."

Van Dijk was a little unsure when he thought of the fanaticism of the Saints at his home court.

"A draw is also acceptable!"

Zhang Mai was concise, because he remembered that the result of this game in history was 0-0.

At the beginning of the game, Southampton took the lead to serve. Southampton really doubled its combat power at home, and it did not show weakness compared with the powerful Red Army.

In the 3rd minute, Cedric headed the ball from the left side of the penalty area, and Bertrand volleyed after getting the ball, hitting the defender and going out of the baseline.

In the 12th minute, Milner passed into the penalty area from the left to look for Coutinho, but he failed to make a good pass and was blocked by Southampton players.

In the 14th minute, Cedric's diagonal pass from the right was blocked, and then he took a long shot with his left foot and missed it.

The two sides have formed an evenly matched situation on the field. You must know that the value of the players on the field of the Red Army is three times that of the Saints.

In the 24th minute, Milner knocked down Raymond and was warned by the referee.

In the 28th minute, Klein made a pass from the right, and Matip and Emre Can made adjustments. Mane kicked a shot from the left side of the penalty area and Foster flew out of the baseline.In the 33rd minute, Coutinho tried a long shot from the outside and missed the bottom line on the left.

In the 40th minute, Wijnaldum sent a through ball from the middle, and Mane entered the penalty area and made a slight adjustment to kick the shot, which was destroyed by Adams first.

One minute of stoppage time, on the left side of the front of the penalty area, Milner scored the ball, and Wijnaldum shot wide of the baseline.

At the end of the first half, both teams failed to score and the score was 0-0.

After changing sides and fighting again, Liverpool kicked off, and the two sides started fighting again.

In the 47th minute, Firmino fell in the penalty area and the referee refused to award a penalty kick.

Immediately afterwards, Emre Can knocked his heel at the front of the penalty area, and Mane got the ball into the left penalty area and shot from a small angle, but Foster fell to the ground and hugged him.

Then Southampton made a mistake in the backcourt, Firmino sent a through pass, Coutinho broke into the penalty area, and then kicked and shot was blocked by Fonte's interference.

In the 57th minute, Liverpool took a set kick from the right side of the front court. Matip in the penalty area jumped up to compete for the top.

In the 58th minute, Southampton counterattacked, Cedric made a cross from the right, and Charlie Austin overwhelmed Matip with a header that went slightly wide.

In the 61st minute, Cedric pulled Coutinho for a foul and got a yellow card.

In the 64th minute, Firmino knocked across the right, Mane gave way in the middle, and Emre Can followed up with a shot that missed the bottom line on the right.

In the 66th minute, Coutinho sent a straight pass to the right from the front of the penalty area, and Firmino stabbed slightly wide of the far post.

In the 67th minute, Southampton took the lead in substitutions. Sean Long replaced Bouffal, replaced Rodriguez, and removed Charlie Austin.

Southampton's offensive flourished for a while, suppressing Liverpool's mad attack for more than ten minutes.

In the 78th minute, Coutinho received a yellow card for kicking someone from behind.

Subsequently, Liverpool made a substitution, and Sturridge replaced Emre Can; Southampton made the last personnel adjustment, removing Hoibel and replacing Reid.

In the 80th minute, on the left side of the penalty area, Sturridge turned around and passed the ball. Facing the former owner, Klein's header went wide.

Two minutes later, Coutinho's shot from the front of the penalty area was blocked, and then Firmino's supplementary shot was saved by Foster.

There were 4 minutes of stoppage time in the game. In the 89th minute, Liverpool removed Mane and replaced Origi.

The situation changed suddenly in the 92nd minute. Rodriguez's cross from the right was missed by Lovren. Reed scored in front of the goal and Southampton led Liverpool 1-0!
In the last 2 minutes, Liverpool fought back frantically but failed to rewrite the score.

In the end, the game ended and Liverpool lost 0-1 away to Southampton.

"Oh! I was killed by someone."

After watching the game, Mbappe was a little frustrated.

Van Dijk: ? ? ?

"Without Van Dijk, the frontcourt has not been able to score goals. Isn't it very similar to Liverpool last season?"

Zhang Mai knew that Van Dijk, who was also a central defender, was not good at commenting on his colleagues, so he had to compare it with the previous Red Army lineup.
