Reborn Liverpool

Chapter 213 The Pit of Hull City
The fierce Premier League will never be just about swords and swords on the green field. The verbal confrontation and intrigue outside the field or after the game are the entertainment favorites of fans and the media.

In the last round of the Premier League when Liverpool played Chelsea at home, Klopp shouted emotionally at the fourth official Swarbrick after Costa missed a penalty kick, "No one can beat us!"

The German was not punished for this behavior at the time, and Swarbrick also expressed his understanding and responded, "No problem, I like your passion.".

However, the German's slightly out-of-control behavior still attracted the attention of the outside world. It was because in the same round of Manchester United's home game against Hull City, Wooden Bird's same behavior caused him to be treated far away. Those who protested during the game were warned.

Manchester United coach Mourinho threw out the "differential treatment theory" before this round of the game to express his dissatisfaction:

"The rules are different for me, I don't want to say too much, because I have been fined too much money, much more than everyone else;

Like a coach who was told by the officials 'I like your passion' and the next day I was told 'sit down or you'll be sent to the stands' but the same thing happened on the pitch.

I don't want to say too much because I don't want to be fined.The race officials don't like my emotions, and it's not my place to say what happened this season. "

Coincidentally, Hull City, which drew 1-1 with Manchester United in the last round, happens to be the opponent that Liverpool will challenge this round.

This weekend Liverpool was a guest against Hull City. In the pre-match press conference, Klopp also responded to the recent turmoil.

Klopp said that he cannot guarantee that he will always be able to restrain his behavior in future games:
"I can't guarantee that I won't do it again, and even if I did now, it would be a lie. That's why there are fines, if we cross the line, they punish us, which is right. The coach didn't mean to To offend the referee. Do you think Wenger is that kind of guy when he's staring at the fourth official and trying to make a push? That's not what people know about Wenger."

Klopp also explained the pressure that professional coaches face in the game: "The environment causes these things to happen, not the personality of the coach. Sometimes you can't control yourself at all, so you will shout: 'No one can beat us. ’ I’ve never heard anything so stupid and I said it after losing the FA Cup and League Cup.”

The Liverpool coach also admitted that he was lucky in avoiding punishment:

"I feel lucky for the fourth official's reaction at the time and I hope he doesn't get into trouble because of this incident. His reaction is a normal reaction of a man."

Klopp finally responded to Mourinho's remarks:

"I think that kind of thing is up to the fourth official and we all know what we can do.

Again, when I saw the scene where I yelled at the referee after the game, I realized it wasn't very friendly, but it wasn't as serious as it seemed.

Of course, maybe I was lucky, the fourth official said something I hadn't heard before, which must be the first time. "

Klopp continued:
"We all struggle with that, not just me or Mourinho, but Arsene Wenger, a lot of other managers.

Sometimes we get fined, sometimes we don't.That's not what we want to happen or tactically.

In fact, I was more irritable when I was young, and I am much better now.I don't know why Mourinho said what he said about me, you should ask him. "

……

"Did you see that? This is a battle between top coaches. It's a pity that Sir Alex Ferguson, the 'King of Psychological Warfare' in the Premier League, has retired."

Sitting on the bench of the KC Stadium, Zhang Mai explained to his teammates next to him:

"Mourinho is rebellious and ambitious. He will not show mercy to Liverpool, who are at the top of the list just because Manchester United is fifth. He would like to knock down the four teams in front of him at once."

"Then what shall we do?"

Arnold, who just started his debut season in the Premier League, asked a rookie question.

"It's not a direct confrontation at the moment of life and death. All the coaches are playing side-by-side. Let's players not get involved!"

Senior captain Henderson gave the correct answer.

"Iron battalion and flowing soldiers, maybe one day you will mix with wooden birds, don't you understand?"

Seeing Arnold's questioning face, Zhang Mai couldn't help but give him a blow to the back of his head.

2月4日23:00，2016/17赛季英超第24轮，利物浦挑战赫尔城的比赛将在KC球场展开角逐。

利物浦近3次客战赫尔城1平2负，上次联赛双杀赫尔城还是1959/60赛季。

The two sides have clashed 21 games in history, and Liverpool has the upper hand with 15 wins, 5 draws and 1 losses.

The starting lineups of both sides have already been played on the sidelines:

Hull City: (4-5-1)
16 - Jakupovic;
14- Ellabudray, 5- Maguire, 13- Ranozia, 3- Robinson;
17-Growski, 10-Ndiaye, 8-Hudstone, 11-Klukas, 40-Evandero;

15- Chamberlain, 20- Lallana;
5- Wijnaldum, 10- Coutinho, 9- Mane;

11 - Firmino.

Klopp rested Zhang Mai, Henderson, Van Dijk, Mbappe and others in this round, and also kept new talents such as Robertson, Arnold and Pickford at Anfield, largely to prepare for the match. Down the devil tricycle.

利物浦分别将在2月12日主场对阵热刺、2月28日客场挑战莱斯特城、3月5日主场迎战阿森纳，这是赛季中期的最关键阶段，强大的对手让一向以“关键时刻掉链子”形象示人的利物浦格外紧张，克洛普得留着张迈这张最大的底牌保证万无一失。

As for today's game, even though it was an away game, Uncle Zha still had confidence in most of last season's main players, and he brought Zhang Mai and Mbappe to Hull City just to be on the safe side.

Less than 1 minute into the opening, Lallana's arc shot from the left side of the penalty area missed the far corner.

Then Wijnaldum passed the ball, and Mane's shot in front of the penalty area also missed.

After 10 minutes, Hull City also had a chance to counterattack, but Abel missed a diagonal shot from the left side of the penalty area.

In the 18th minute, Firmino broke into the penalty area and made a cross from the left, which was saved by Jakupovic. Then Coutinho's shot under the double-team of 3 was blocked by Hudson and missed the left post.In the 23rd minute, Coutinho took a corner kick and Matip missed the goal with a header from 12 yards.

Liverpool occupied [-]% of the offensive on the field, but they have not been able to convert their advantages into goals.

The strength of the home team Hull City is obviously weak, but the players are very hardworking, especially No. 5 Maguire. As a central defender, he resolved most of the Red Army's offensive.

The players in Uncle Zha's attacking formation became more and more anxious on the field. On the other hand, Hull City's confidence and fierce counterattack slowly came up.

In the 44th minute, Hull City took the lead in breaking the deadlock. Mignolet made a mistake in a corner kick melee, and Ndiaye scored from close range.

1-0!The home team Hull City led by one goal, Liverpool's bench was stunned, but the entire KC stadium was boiling.

The Liverpool players woke up like a dream and were preparing to attack aggressively to get back the score. The first half ended.

Klopp did not make personnel adjustments during the intermission, but just routinely gave a big show of chicken blood.
