Reborn Liverpool

Chapter 194

Liverpool was beaten by Southampton in the 12th round away game, and it was a moderate upset in the Premier League.

Liverpool continues to top the list with 10 wins and 2 losses with 30 points, but the pursuit behind them is getting closer.

In the 12th round of the Premier League, except for West Brom and Burnley, which have not yet started, the remaining 9 games have all ended.

其中曼联主场与阿森纳1-1战平，曼城客场1-1战平水晶宫，埃弗顿主场1-1遭斯旺西逼平，斯托克城主场0-1不敌伯恩茅斯，桑德兰主场3-0大胜赫尔城，沃特福德主场2-1力克莱斯特城，热刺主场3-2险胜西汉姆联，切尔西客场1-0小胜米德尔斯堡。

第12轮赛程结束，2016/17英超积分榜又出现了不小的变化，切尔西客场1-0击败米德尔斯堡豪取联赛6连胜之后积28分成功超越了曼城登上英超积分榜第二。

能从积分榜第8位一路飙升至第二，孔蒂的“3-4-3”阵型给人以巨大惊喜。此外，六连胜期间切尔西打进17球丢0球也让外界看到了这支球队的强大。

Ranked third is Manchester City, which was tied by Crystal Palace this round. He and fourth-ranked Tottenham have the same 27 points, leading by virtue of the relationship between victory and defeat.

Arsenal are still fifth in their most familiar position with 25 points, and Manchester United are sixth with 5 points.

让人意外的是上赛季的英超冠军得主莱斯特城，在12轮联赛结束之后仅获得了3胜3平6败积12分排名联赛第14位，距离降级区只有4分。降级区方面，目前处于这个区域的三支球队分别是赫尔城、桑德兰、斯旺西。

Although Liverpool still ranks first in the league, at the press conference after the game, Liverpool media reporters still caught Klopp's insistence.

"May I ask why Zhang Mai, the 'Mr. 1-0' you boasted in Manchester last time, didn't appear in the squad?"

This is a question from the London media who are not very familiar with Zhang Mai's return to China.

"Zhang Mai just came back from Asia to participate in the world preliminaries. In order to take care of his physical strength, he specially arranged to rest. The season is still long."

Uncle Zha, who had been prepared for a long time, answered easily.

"Then why didn't Mbappe, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Van Dijk come to Southampton without the national team?"

The Liverpool reporters who accompanied the team began to exert their strength.

"Mbappe and Chamberlain are on rotation, and Van Dijk has a minor injury."

Klopp resolved one by one calmly.

"Then what do you think is the reason for today's defeat?"

The Liverpool reporters pressed on every step of the way, talking about the away game they had just lost.

"We had 65% possession today, 18-3 shots on goal and 9-1 corners, but we were a bit unlucky. You should know that football games are so magical and unbelievable."

Any statement that attributes the responsibility to luck proves that the spokesperson is already standing on the precipice of denial.

"Coutinho had 9 shots in this game, accounting for half of the team's shots, and Liverpool only lost one goal to Southampton; similarly, Zhang Mai only had 1 shot in the away game against Manchester United, accounting for half of the team's shots. 1/10, Liverpool beat Manchester United 1-0, and you call him 'Mr 1-0'."

The Liverpool reporter's straightforward narration made Uncle Scumbag's face darker and darker.

"And Coutinho just claimed in the public interview area that he is not as lucky as Zhang Mai. The reason for his nine misses is that he has been out for a long time and is not in good condition. Can we think that this loss is the reason for you?"

After the last sharp question was asked, the angry Uncle Zha calmed down and pondered slowly.

"Coutinho scored 213 goals with 11 shots last season, and Zhang Mai spent 34 shots for 162 goals. We can assume that Coutinho is shirking responsibility."

The Manchester reporter, who was happy to see Klopp's embarrassment, made up for it again.

"Every player in Liverpool has a role to play. Of course, the biggest responsibility for the team's losses must be the head coach."

Uncle Zha took the responsibility for the loss by himself, and left in despair.

Depend on!The Brazilian kid even blamed Lao Tzu for losing the game. This time Bailey came out to help you talk, and it didn't work!
Didn't Messi welcome you to Barcelona?I will fulfill you when I return to Liverpool, and it will save Liverpool's excellent championship situation this year.

On the return bus, Klopp smiled and comforted the defeated Liverpool players. On the surface, there was no displeasure on his face, but he was thinking about how to concoct Coutinho's various plans.

"no Zuo no Die"!
What Klopp did not expect was that on the second day back to Liverpool, Coutinho gave the club an ultimatum through his agent (that is, his brother).

Either guarantee the Brazilian's main position, or let the Brazilian transfer and leave!
It is said that the Brazilians are not vegetarians, and they are very accurate about the current situation.

Liverpool's nine-game winning streak was messed up by the comeback. The club and Klopp will definitely continue to idle and praise Zhang Mai. Hua Guo's scoring shit luck is really great!

But this can't work!Another two months of idle time and Liverpool continue to advance in the Premier League, and I may not be able to keep my main position in the national team!

How could the star-studded Brazilian team want a player who has been unable to play for a long time as the main force?

Taking advantage of his current relationship with Neymar is still warm, while Messi, Suarez and other South American superstars are still shouting for him, Coutinho preemptively strikes.

"Hey, what should we do? The future of Liverpool without Moutinho is uncertain!"

When Klopp heard the news from the club's senior management, he looked worried, but he was happy.

"Indeed, the season has not been played yet, and the winter break has not yet arrived. The problem of the Brazilians is a bit troublesome."

Although the club doesn't know Uncle Zha's specific views on this matter, it also knows that Coutinho is upset with Zhang Mai and is forcing the club to choose one of the two.

And if Zhang Mai does not play, Liverpool may have to embark on the old road of last season.Don't even think about the good thing of rushing into the Champions League.

"How about this, the trend of players threatening the club cannot be raised, otherwise your senior management will have no prestige at all, immediately ask him to apologize to the club and obey the team's arrangements, otherwise he will be sent to the reserve team to calm down, anyway, the season is still long Nirvana."

Uncle Zha saw the dilemma of the club's executives, so he quickly came up with a good plan to kill people with a knife.

"For the time being, it can only be like this. I hope the Brazilians can understand our painstaking efforts. Your first team's mission to reach the Champions League this year cannot be delayed!"

The club is actually more annoyed than Uncle Scumbag. Last year, you were only ninth in the league. You haven't done anything wrong yet, and you started threatening the investors!

"Don't worry! We are number one in the league now. As long as the club helps the team clear up these troubles, the top three in the league at the end of the season is sure."

Klopp accepted the season target without hesitation.

joke!With Zhang Mai in the team, as long as there is no moth like Moutinho, I dare to think about the league championship.

So Coutinho, who insisted that he was right, joined the Liverpool reserve team gloriously on Wednesday and began to work hard for the League Cup.

The first team lost the arrogant Coutinho, and the training atmosphere improved a lot, but the worried Firmino still found Zhang Mai.

"Does Uncle Zha really dislike Brazilians?"

Firmino, who is also the main force of the Brazilian national team and usually has a good relationship, does not know what bizarre story he heard from Coutinho.

"Don't worry! Roberto, Klopp just hates people who fight against him, not even the Germans. Why would you fight against him for your friends?"

Zhang Mai patted Firmino's shoulder with a smile, and hit back easily.

"Of course not, professional players have the ethics of professional players!"

Firmino's tone was resentful, but the expression on his face was obviously much lighter.
