Reborn Liverpool

Chapter 246

英超新赛季4轮过后，利物浦和曼联同为3胜1平积10分，因净胜球少排名第2，切尔西3胜1负积9分排第3，曼城2胜2平积8分排第4，热刺积7分排第5，阿森纳2胜2负都没进前10。

The traditional top 6 of the Premier League are coming fiercely and still dominate the league situation. The duo of Manchester and City have played steadily, and the strength of the major giants is more balanced, which indicates that the championship competition this season will become increasingly fierce.

Although Liverpool was the champion of the Premier League last season, Klopp also understands that there is nothing to be careless about. The strong teams are head-to-head, and the mid- and lower-level teams will often be upset.

The team's blind optimism and arrogance in the past period of time were serious, people's hearts were turbulent, and even the usually docile Mane was anxious to get a red card, which aroused Uncle Zha's vigilance.

The only player who reassured Klopp was Zhang Mai, who played calmly and steadily on the spot, which can be regarded as slightly stopping the impetuous wind in the team.

But Zhang Mai understands his own thoughts, and he only wants to make contributions in the Champions League and catch up with Ronaldo and Messi. Naturally, Zhang Mai can be stable in the league.

The top 2018 of the 12 World Cup Asian qualifiers also came to an end on September 9th. Huaguo and South Korea directly qualified in Group A, Japan and Saudi Arabia directly qualified in Group B, and Iran and Australia continued to compete for the final place in Asia. 5 qualifying places.

The Hua Guo team, where Zhang Mai and Zhang Yulin were absent, performed well in the last three rounds, fully demonstrating the command level of coach Lippi.

客场2-2平叙利亚、主场1-0胜乌兹别克斯坦、客场2-1胜卡塔尔，少了两位大将的华国队也稳居亚洲次一流的水准。

"With Zhang Mai and Zhang Yulin. The Hua Guo team is already an Asian super team, and it has initially possessed the strength to fight against world-class teams!"

Lippi spoke plausibly in an interview with domestic media, and began to look forward to next year's World Cup in Russia with great ambition.

"You have to ask me where the Hua Guo team can go in the end. I don't know, but breaking through the group stage is definitely achievable."

Milu, who once led the Chinese national team to the 2002 World Cup for the first time, is also full of confidence in Lippi's team.

9月13日19：45，2017/18赛季欧冠第一比赛日E组一场焦点战展开争夺，利物浦将在自己的主场迎战前来挑战的西甲塞维利亚队。

Liverpool and Sevilla have a lot of grievances. Liverpool lost to Sevilla in the Europa League final of the 2015/16 season and lost their qualification for the Champions League in the 16/17 season.

Sevilla is only a second-rate strong team in La Liga, but they can always explode against Liverpool, which fully embodies the fine tradition of La Liga teams specializing in the Premier League.

But the relationship between the two teams is not bad in private. In recent years, Liverpool's summer warm-up match opponent list will always have the name of Sevilla.

Liverpool participated in the UEFA Champions League for the second time in the past 8 seasons, and remained unbeaten in nearly 2 home games in European games.

Sevilla has 5 draws and 2 losses in 3 away games against Premier League teams in the history of the European War.

Liverpool, who have been away from the Champions League for a long time, the first opponent ushered in in the new Champions League season is the old nemesis of the Red Army, which is indeed a headache for Klopp.

The starting lists of both sides were quickly played on the sidelines:

Liverpool: (4-3-3)

13 - Pickford;

12-Gomez, 3-Maguire, 4-Van Dijk, 7-Milner;
14- Henderson, 10- Zhang Mai, 5- Wijnaldum;
11-Salah, 9-Firmino, 19-Mane.

Sevilla: (4-3-3)

1 - Rico;

25-Mecado, 4-Kyar, 21-Parejo, 18-Escudero;
15-Nzonzi, 10-Banega, 14-Pissaro;
16-Navas, 9-Ben Yedder, 11-Correa.

Klopp did not dare to take Sevilla lightly when the Premier League was heavy. Liverpool basically formed the strongest lineup in this battle.

Mane was suspended for 3 games with a red card in the Premier League, and he was expecting to vent his grievances in the Champions League. The old goalkeeper Mignolet took a break, and the right back was replaced by the young player Gomez who Klopp deliberately cultivated.

Sevilla's side is also not good at coming. Regardless of the offensive formation that is tit-for-tat against Liverpool, several forwards are also strong fighters with a strong style.

The bright lights illuminated the Anfield stadium brightly, and all the Red Army fans sang "You'll Never Walk Alone" in unison. A huge Liverpool team flag also flowed slowly in the stands, and Liverpool's pride was flying tonight. .

"No matter which team is in the front, I, who is destined to shine in the Champions League, will sweep away. Tonight, I will score more goals and score good goals!"

At the opening ceremony, Zhang Mai clenched his fists and covered his chest, fearlessly scanning the opposite Sevilla players.

At the start of the first half of the game, Sevilla kicked off the ball first. Sevilla, who was playing away, took the lead and took the lead in launching an offensive against the Red Army.

Less than 1 minute into the game, Sevilla got a chance to shoot, and Pizarro's outside shot was saved by Pickford.

Under the yelling of captains Henderson and Zhang Mai, the slow Liverpool players gradually accelerated their offensive and defensive rhythms, and began to fight with the visiting team in the midfield.

Sevilla took the lead in the 5th minute. Escudero made a pass from the left. Gomez made a clearance and kicked empty. The unguarded Ben Yedder easily scored from close range.

0-1!The elated Red Army fans were still in shock, only a small number of Sevilla fans celebrated loudly.

The game continued, and Liverpool, who were one goal behind, slowly advanced forward under the organization of Zhang Mai, without any panic after conceding a goal.

In the 12th minute, Zhang Mai sent a diagonal pass in the middle, and Mane's shot from the left was saved by Rico. Liverpool won the first corner kick after the opening.

Zhang Mai took the ball from the right side of the goal, and Firmino's header in the middle of the corner kick went wide.

In the 15th minute, Salah's breakthrough from the right disturbed Sevilla's defense. Zhang Mai received Firmino's heel pass from the front of the penalty area and shot vigorously, breaking through Rico's ten fingers.

1-1!Liverpool leveled the score 10 minutes after conceding a goal, with thunderous cheers and red flags flying.

In the next game, Liverpool gradually controlled the situation on the field, and it was difficult for Sevilla to score the ball into Liverpool's backcourt.

In the 21st minute, Liverpool scored again. Milner and Henderson kicked the wall and broke into the left side of the penalty area.

2-1!Liverpool scored 6 goals in 2 minutes to overtake the score, and the audience boiled again.

The whole Sevilla team turned to defense, and Liverpool started the whole court pressing and high-speed siege, and got a lot of opportunities.

Both Henderson and Wijnaldum's outside shots were blocked by Sevilla players, and the cheers of the Red Army fans rang out.

In the 37th minute, Liverpool expanded their lead. Salah robbed Nzonzi in the frontcourt and shot from 25 yards. The ball hit Kjaer and deflected into the goal.

3-1, the Anfield stadium instantly turned into a sea of ​​joy, and a small number of Sevilla fans turned pale.

After the visiting team kicked off for the 4th time, Liverpool's offensive remained unabated. The wave of red offensive on the court was higher than the wave, while Sevilla could only defend desperately.

In the 42nd minute, Liverpool wasted another excellent scoring opportunity. Mane picked the ball from the left side of the penalty area and Parejo fouled with a handball. The latter held Mane down and was sentenced to death. Liverpool won a penalty.

After obtaining the consent of Zhang Mai, captain Henderson gave up the opportunity to serve to Firmino, but the penalty shot by the latter hit the right post and bounced back.

Liverpool then had a lot of offensive opportunities, but they were all resolved one by one by the visiting team players who swore to resist.

Before the end of the first half, Zhang Mai instigated an attack again, Firmino passed the ball in the middle, Milner shot from the left side of the penalty area and was saved by Rico.

The first half of the game finally ended with the cheers of the audience, and Liverpool temporarily led the visiting team Sevilla 3-1.

"Good job! Not bad, take a good rest and keep going."

The game ended, but Klopp's passion remained undiminished. The players standing in front of the player channel and off the field clapped their hands one by one to celebrate.

Um!Still the original recipe and the original taste.

Zhang Mai was also very happy to see Uncle Zha who was beaming with joy:
Because of me, Sevilla is no longer a problem for Liverpool!
