Reborn Liverpool

Chapter 283 You Chasing Me (Part [-])

Messi and Ronaldo are the only two super giants in the world, with stable and outstanding personal data, league championships with 3+ and above, Champions League champions with 2+ and above, and intercontinental championships.

If they can win the highest honor in world football - the World Cup, the two can be crowned "Ball King". Can such a person be found casually?

The Liverpool media is teasing Manchester City maliciously, just because the Red Army has Zhang Mai, a fierce man who has performed outstandingly for three consecutive seasons.

The implication is that Manchester City's problem is easy to solve, "If you can't find Melo, just find Zhang Mai, just like Liverpool!"

The future of Neymar's transfer to Paris alone is not optimistic, and Zhang Mai has become the player closest to Melo in today's football...

2018年1月1日23点，英超第22轮联赛如期而至，利物浦客场挑战伯恩利。

Liverpool is currently on the same score as Manchester City, ranking first with a goal difference advantage, leaving No.3 Chelsea with only 13 points, while Burnley ranks 15th.

Liverpool: 4-3-3
22 - Mignolet;

26-Robertson, 3-Maguire, 4-Van Dijk, 66-Arnold;
10-Zhang Mai, 5-Winaldum, 21-Chamberlain;
20- Lallana, 19- Mane, 29- Solanke.

Burnley: 4-4-2

4-Jack Cork, 16-Defour, 17-Gudmundsen, 37-Arfield;

13- Hendrick, 10- Barnes.

In this game, Salah's minor injury did not enter the squad, and Liverpool still implemented a rotation. In this campaign, Chamberlain, Mane, and Lallana partnered to start, and Solanke served as the arrow.

Burnley put up a "4-4-2" offensive and defensive balance at their home court, and their intention to keep the tie and win is obvious.

At the beginning of the first half, Burnley kicked off the ball first, and Liverpool turned away from the home team and launched a stormy offensive against the home team.

In the first minute, Arnold intercepted the opponent's pass and launched a counterattack from the backcourt. Lallana volleyed the ball from the top of the penalty area.

It didn't take long for Lallana to make a pass from the left and was cleared by a Burnley player's header. Then Chamberlain accelerated from the left and made a pass from the bottom to hit the side netting.

In the 8th minute, Burnley had their first attack, Arnold made a mistake in the backcourt, and Barnes volleyed from the left in the penalty area.

Several local British players of the Red Army are extremely active. As the World Cup in Russia approaches, everyone wants to win Southgate's favor.

In the 12th minute, Solanke's oblique pass from the middle of the front court was interrupted. Fortunately, Zhang Mai pressed the opponent's ball holder in time to avoid being hit by a quick counterattack.

In the 16th minute, Chamberlain's long-range shot from outside the penalty area was saved by the Burnley goalkeeper, and then cleared by the defender.

In the 17th minute, Lallana tried a long shot from outside the penalty area, and the ball rolled out of the baseline after being blocked.

Next was Lallana's performance. Barnes sent an arc-second pass in the middle circle, and Gudmundsen got the ball and was tackled by Lallana.

In the 20th minute, Chamberlain made a long pass directly out of the penalty area.

Soon afterwards, Robertson made a 45-degree pass from the left, and Solanke in the center headed high.

In the 27th minute, Burnley got another chance to counterattack. Defour made a cross from the left, and Arfield's header was saved by Mignolet.

Halfway through the game, Zhang Mai and other foreign players saw that the Red Army's offensive had not yet worked, so they also started to exert their strength...

In the 30th minute, Wijnaldum shot a long shot from the right outside the penalty area, and then Mane missed a low shot with his left foot from the top of the penalty area.

In the 34th minute, Chamberlain picked a pass from the left and was picked off by the Burnley goalkeeper. He launched an attack with a backhand. Gudmundsen made a 45-degree pass from the right, and the ball bounced off the baseline.

In the 36th minute, Liverpool connected two British players again. Chamberlain went straight into the penalty area. After Solanke stopped the ball, he was tackled by the Burnley defender.

Burnley immediately retaliated, and Arfield's left-footed shot from the top of the arc in the penalty area slightly missed the bottom line.

In the 41st minute, Chamberlain hit the goal from the left in the penalty area and was blocked by the Burnley goalkeeper again.

At the end of the first half, Liverpool had an absolute advantage on the field, but they still failed to knock on the opponent's goal. Burnley 0-0 Liverpool.

After the intermission, the two sides fought again. Liverpool did not change their style of play, and the local players were still the main attacking force.

In the 46th minute, Zhang Mai sent an exquisite direct pass, and Chamberlain hit the goal with his left foot in the penalty area and was blocked.

In the 51st minute, Lallana made a strong shot from outside the penalty area, and the ball reflected the bottom line.

In the 53rd minute, Mane's bottom line pass from the right was blocked out of the bottom line, and then Lallana's cross from the left in the penalty area was cleared again.

Liverpool finally took the lead in the 60th minute, but it was Mane who opened the scoring.

Arnold made a pass from the right, and Zhang Mai, who followed up, took a false shot. Mane stopped the ball in the middle of the penalty area and turned around and volleyed with his left foot. Burnley 0-1 Liverpool.

Mane's goal failed to inspire the fighting spirit of the Burnley players, but instead made the Red Army's local players more aggressive...

In the 65th minute, Arnold's cross from the right was blocked from the bottom line...

In the 71st minute, Chamberlain sent a right corner kick into the penalty area and was cleared with a header...

In the 73rd minute, Arnold's high-quality long shot was saved by the goalkeeper...

In the 75th minute, Lallana made a cross from the left, and Solanke's header was confiscated by the goalkeeper...

In the 79th minute, Chamberlain volleyed from the right in the penalty area and was saved by the goalkeeper with one hand...

Zhang Mai, Mane and others were happy to let their local teammates perform, but Chamberlain, Lallana and his like just couldn't score goals, let alone the immature Solanke.

On the contrary, Burnley used this to play several waves of offensives and evened the score on the field.

In the 84th minute, Gudmundsen made a 45-degree cross from the right, and Vaux's header was saved by Mignolet...

In 87 minutes, Taylor made a cross from the left, Vaux headed the ball, and Gudmundsen scored with a header to equalize the score, Burnley 1-1 Liverpool.

Unable to play any more, the Red Army soldiers got up their spirits to stifle Burnley's counterattack, and began to fight desperately in the final period.

In the 89th minute, Zhang Mai received a pass from Wijnaldum in the middle and shot vigorously from the right side of the penalty area. A world wave broke through the opponent's goal. Liverpool 2-1 Burnley!
In stoppage time, Chamberlain sent the ball from the center of the front field into the penalty area, Maguire flew the header, and Zhang Mai scored with a header in front of the goal. Liverpool 3-1 Burnley.

At the end of the game, Burnley lost 1-3 to Liverpool.

In the first half, neither side had a good chance to score. In the second half, teenager Arnold assisted Mane with a volley to break the deadlock. Arnold shot from a distance and nearly scored. Gudmundsen rushed to the header to equalize. Liverpool relied on Zhang Mai's brace in the last 6 minutes A 3-1 away win over Burnley for the second time.

The other few games in this round were also uneventful, and the strong teams finally defeated their respective opponents:

Manchester United beat Everton 2-0 away, Martial and Lingard scored successively, and Manchester United ended their 3-game tie.

Tottenham defeated Swansea 2-0 away and ranked fourth in the standings, while Swansea continued to rank bottom.

The only strong dialogue in this round also ended in a draw. Chelsea, who are in desperate need of league points, drew 2-2 away against Arsenal, and the league rankings of the two teams remained unchanged.

Liverpool's title rival, Manchester City, beat Watford 3-1 at home, achieving a 10-game winning streak at home, and continued to keep pace with the Red Army in the league.

In Manchester City's game, Aguero, Sterling, Silva and Stones all returned to the starting lineup, and De Bruyne recovered from injury in time and continued to play.

After the last round of Manchester City's regrettable draw, the famous people who advocated "Blue Moon Injury Attack" were slapped in the face one after another. The goals of Aguero, Sterling and De Bruyne came at the right time.

The reason for Silva's absence from the previous rounds was also revealed. Silva's wife had postpartum complications, so he had to accompany his wife back to Spain for recuperation.

Now that things have passed, Silva will return to participate in the game against Watford, which greatly increases the strength of Manchester City's midfielder.

In the game against Crystal Palace two days ago, De Bruyne was injured and carried out on a stretcher at the last moment, but in today's game against Watford, Ding Ding still started.

In this regard, Gua Shuai explained, "We told Kevin (De Bruyne) that he could rest in this game, but he said he wanted to play the game. This moved me very much, he wanted to win the league championship."

As for Jesus, who was also injured in the last game, he will definitely rest for 4 to 6 weeks, maybe longer.

After the game, Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola complained about the tight Christmas schedule, saying "it will kill the players".

Guardiola said, "I know that in England, the game has to go on, but it doesn't make sense; we should reflect because we are killing players."

"The league doesn't think about the players, but they have to think about the players; think about it, the players have to play for 11 consecutive months, the league has to protect the players, we have to think about the talents on the court."

In the Premier League, falsehoods and intrigues between the coaches of each team are very normal. In the words of Wood Bird: "It is to use all reasonable means to win!"

What's more, Klopp has never pinned his hope of winning the championship on his opponent's injuries. The Red Army soldiers are looking forward to the next round of the league match against Manchester City.
