Reborn Liverpool

Chapter 215 Devil's Triple Spurs (thanks to the dull boy for the monthly ticket)

After the away game against Hull City, Klopp has completely decided to use Coutinho as Zhang Mai's substitute, because the next three consecutive devils and even the nearly 4 league rounds until the end of April will be Liverpool's competition for this season. At the most anxious critical moment of the Premier League champions, no game should be missed.

Zhang Mai also took stock of his personal situation. In the middle and late March, there will be two key Asian World Cup Group A battles. The 3th and 29th rounds of the Premier League will definitely be affected.

Moreover, his 32 goals this season have been equal to last season's record single-season goals, and only 17 assists are 24 times worse than last season's 7.

Do you want to mention the number of goals scored in a single season in the Premier League to more than 40?

I will stay at Liverpool for at least 3 or 4 seasons, it is better not to make it more difficult in the future, Zhang Mai decided to suspend his personal goals and focus on assists instead.

In terms of players, Klopp, under Zhang Mai's reminder, began to pay close attention to Barcelona's Neymar's personal movements in order to grasp Coutinho's transfer situation.

During this period of time, Wagner Ribeiro, the agent who signed Neymar with a liquidated damages of 2.2 million euros last summer and kept instigating the king of tricks, has been cold. Instead, Neymar’s father flew to Barcelona to take care of his son. In various affairs, he has repeatedly expressed his loyalty to Barcelona.

But Zhang Mai knows that all of this is a cover-up, and the greedy Brazilian father has begun to secretly entrust the super agent Zahavi to help his son find the "next one".

Historically, Neymar's defection to Paris in the summer of 2017 was born in this way. The transfer fee of 2.3 million euros and the annual salary of 4000 million are the favorites of the Brazilians.

Barcelona, ​​which claims to be a bigwig in the industry, has been played by the king of tricks for more than half a year, which is why Coutinho's shocking worth of "1.2 million euros + 4000 million euros floating" and his hasty departure in early winter of 2018.

A simple sentence is that Barcelona used all the profits from selling Neymar to acquire Coutinho, and Liverpool fisherman benefited!
Zhang Mai told Uncle Zha all this, and let the Germans and the club figure out how to realize Coutinho's full value.

The same is true for Uncle Po in the away game. With Harry Kane, the most outstanding traditional center in the Premier League, Tottenham basically has the strongest attacking lineup.

Zhang Mai and Sun Xingmin, who has secured the Tottenham winger position, had a friendly exchange before the game.

Different from the coming of the Asian World Cup, the Chinese and Korean battles are coming again. The fans of the two countries have already sprayed each other fieryly on the Internet. The two professional players who are also from East Asia communicated quite friendly. Sun Xingmin even opened his mouth to recruit Zhang Mai for Tottenham.

Zhang Mai responded that Liverpool is more generous than Tottenham, and Sun Xingmin might as well come to Liverpool.

In the end, the two smiled knowingly, and began to wait quietly for the official start of the game.

The referee blew the whistle to start the game. Both sides seemed cautious, and the attacking forces were not many.

In the 5th minute, Tottenham counterattacked, and Eriksson's tentative oblique shot from the right side of the penalty area missed the goal.

Next, Firmino tackled Dell's dribbling, and Mane took the ball in the penalty area and shot it, but Alderweireld made a key block.

The two sides came and went, and the situation on the field fell into a stalemate for a while.

In the 16th minute, Liverpool began to exert force, and suddenly exerted force in the midfield.

Zhang Mai suddenly speeded up and broke through, and made a direct pass from the midfield to the left. After getting the ball, Mane threw away Ben Davis, and single-handedly pushed into the net from 10 yards in the center of the penalty area.

1-0!The Red Army broke the deadlock on the field.

2-0!The Anfield stadium suddenly turned into a sea of ​​red joy, and Mane also kissed the lawn twice in succession.

The visiting Tottenham players were obviously stunned by Mane's two combos, and the defensive system was in chaos.

In the 22nd minute, Mane almost staged a hat-trick. After throwing off Ben Davies, his shot from 12 yards on the right side of the penalty area was blocked by Lloris and then slightly missed the right post.

Then Matip passed the ball, and Mane shot from the right side of the penalty area and was saved by Lloris again.

Tottenham missed the opportunity in the 26th minute, Ben Davis made a direct pass, and Sun Xingmin shot from 10 yards from the left side of the penalty area was also rescued by Mignolet.

In the 30th minute, Mane broke into the right side of the penalty area again and Dell made a beautiful tackle to defuse the danger.

In the 34th minute, Lloris almost made a mistake on the edge of the penalty area and was intercepted by Firmino, but unfortunately the latter's lob shot missed the goal.

More than half of the first half has passed, and Tottenham's defense is still chaotic, allowing the Red Army players to get opportunities frequently.

In the 37th minute, Firmino's low shot from the edge of the penalty area was confiscated by Lloris.

Eriksson, who had been invisible for more than 20 minutes, finally showed up and took a free kick from 40 yards in the 20th minute. The Swedish midfielder shot directly over the crossbar.

In the 42nd minute, it was Zhang Mai's pass again, and Klein's shot from the right side of the penalty area was saved by Loris.

Before halftime, Zhang Mai took a corner kick, and Van Dijk, who was plugged in from the back row, beat Dell's header and went higher.

At the end of the first half, the entire Tottenham team seemed to have been sealed off in terms of offensive ability, and was beaten helplessly by Liverpool.

After the intermission, the Tottenham players who were two goals behind also cheered up a lot and started to play against Liverpool.

Liverpool slowed down in the second half to try to control the game, and Zhang Mai also signaled the forward line to participate in the passing and possession of the midfield.

In the 51st minute, Eriksson was brought down by Zhang Mai, and Tottenham got a direct free kick in the frontcourt. Harry Kane hit the left post with an offside shot from the free kick melee.Liverpool's slow attack does not mean giving up the high-position press in the midfield. The confrontation between the two sides is still fierce.

The goals on both sides have been threatened less frequently, but the midfield where military strategists must compete is extremely fierce, and it is a scene of people turning their backs on their backs from time to time.

Matip, Harry Kane, Milner and Winks, who came off the bench for Tottenham, received yellow cards successively. Mane and Eriksson also received verbal warnings from the referee many times.

In the 78th minute, Milner made a free kick from the left, and Matip scored a header from 10 yards into Lloris' arms.

In the 82nd minute, Chamberlain's low shot from the edge of the penalty area went wide again.
