Reborn Liverpool

Chapter 291 Let's Wei Together (Thanks to Pan Heng Xingzheng for the monthly pass)

The time has entered February 2018, and the first round of the UEFA Champions League 2/1 final is about to start around Valentine's Day. Zhang Mai's focus has gradually shifted to the UEFA Champions League.

No way, the system's talent point reward for the Champions League is 10 times that of the Premier League. For the first time, Zhang Mai proposed to Klopp the league rotation.

On February 2th, in the 10th round of the Premier League, Arsenal lost 27 to 0 away to Tottenham Hotspur. Harry Kane scored the only goal of the game. Arsenal lost 1 consecutive league away games.

On February 2, Manchester City beat Leicester City 11-5 at home, Aguero scored 1 goals in a row, De Bruyne assisted a hat-trick, and Manchester City, who played ahead of schedule, took the lead.

Red Army star Jamie Redknapp said after the game that Manchester City midfielder De Bruyne was the best passer he had ever seen.

"Let's put it this way, looking at Fabregas, Lampard and Giggs, the top assisters, I think De Bruyne is the best passer I have ever seen."

What's the meaning?When the competition in this league is the most intense, if you boast about how good your opponent is, you're out of your mind!

Don't you Liverpool stars learn from Neville and pick out the thorns of the opponent team?

On February 2th, Chelsea beat West Brom 12-3 at home at Stamford Bridge. Giroud and Morata assisted Hazard to score and Moses scored.

Chelsea rose to third place in the league after ending their losing streak.

In this victory, the one who contributed the most is of course none other than Hazard.

Of Chelsea's 3 goals, two were scored by Hazard. Although Hazard only had 3 shots in the whole game, his 5 successful dribbles and 5 threatening passes allowed him to get whoscored .com gives a high score of 9.7.

Liverpool's away game against Southampton was the last game of this round. At 2:12 on February 16, the two teams competed at St. Mary's Stadium.

Liverpool's opponent in this round of the Premier League is Southampton, a team in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League that has a long history with Liverpool.

In recent years, Liverpool has directly or indirectly introduced many players from Southampton, including Van Dijk, Lallana, Lovren, Chamberlain, Klein and Mane.

In this regard, Klopp joked: "There are many good players in that area (Southampton), maybe we should set up the scouting department there."

The "Daily Mirror" stated that many old players who returned to St. Mary's Stadium this time may be hostile to the fans of the home team, because the Saints' league performance has declined a lot in the past year.

利物浦近8次联赛对阵南安普敦仅负1场，其余7场4胜3平。双方英超历史交锋37场，利物浦17胜10平10负占据上风，其中客场7胜4平7负。双方历史交锋105场，利物浦51胜24平30负占据优势。

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

Southampton (4-2-3-1):

13 - McCarthy;
2-Cedric, 5-Stephens, 6-Holt, 21-Bertrand;

14-Romeu, 18-Lemina;
16-Ward-Prowse, 23-Huiber, 11-Tadic;
9 - Carrillo.

Liverpool (4-3-3):

22 - Mignolet;

66-Arnold, 32-Matip, 4-Van Dijk, 26-Robertson;
21- Chamberlain, 5- Wijnaldum, 14- Henderson;
11-Salah, 9-Firmino, 19-Mane.

Chamberlain, Wijnaldum and Matip played in rotation, and Zhang Mai sat on the bench, recharging his energy for the upcoming fight in Porto.

At the beginning of the game, Liverpool, which was obviously superior in strength, took the lead in attacking Southampton.

Liverpool took the lead in the 6th minute. Salah counterattacked and made a cross. Firmino shot a low shot from the edge of the penalty area to the bottom right corner of the net, 1-0.

Then Mane passed the ball, and Chamberlain shot deflected in front of the penalty area and was confiscated by McCarthy.

In the 15th minute, the Saints launched a counterattack, Romeu passed the ball, and Huiber shot from the upper right corner of the small penalty area and was saved by Mignolet.

Liverpool followed up with a quick attack, and Mane shot wide in front of the penalty area.

In the 22nd minute, Carrillo's header was confiscated by Mignolet when Ward-Prowse made a cross.

In the 29th minute, Southampton played another wave of offensive. Tadic made a pass from the left. Ward-Prowse headed the goal from a far point in front of the small penalty area and Mignoletto went over the crossbar.

In the 33rd minute, Wijnaldum passed the ball, and Mane shot wide from the edge of the penalty area.

In the 39th minute, Bertrand made a cross from the left, and Ward-Prowse's header was confiscated by Mignolet.

Liverpool expanded the score in the 42nd minute. Salah passed the ball and went forward. Firmino made a wonderful pass with his heel. Salah swept into the net from 12 yards.

2-0!This is Salah's 28th goal this season, including 21 goals in the league, still ranking third in the scorer list.

In the second half, the two sides changed places to fight again, and Southampton, who occupied the advantage of the home court, gradually regained its disadvantage.

In the 48th minute, Salah shot high from the edge of the penalty area.

In the 55th minute, Southampton almost broke the goal, Ward-Prowse made a free kick from the left to the front point, and Holt's shot from the left side of the small penalty area missed the near corner.

In the 66th minute, Klopp on the sidelines saw that the general situation was set and sent Milner to replace Chamberlain.

In the next 10 minutes, Wijnaldum and Henderson's long shots missed one after another.

Liverpool has slowed down its offensive speed and its defense has become stronger. It is difficult for the Saints to have a decent offensive.

In the 81st minute, Mane made a cross, and Firmino's low shot from 15 yards was blocked by McCarthy.

In the 89th minute, Firmino passed the ball, and Mane turned around from the left side of the penalty area and volleyed wide of the near corner.

At the end of the game, both sides had no achievements in the second half, and the final score was still Liverpool 2-0 Southampton.

The Red Army finally did not lose the chain at a critical moment. After the game, the happy Red Army coach Klopp accepted an interview with the BBC.

"In fact, Liverpool's performance in this game was not outstanding. We did not do well in some details. Today's wind direction is very strange. It is not easy to capture St. Mary's Stadium. Fortunately, we completed the task, which is very important." Klopp told reporters.

"We scored early, scored the second goal at the right time, and controlled the game. This season Liverpool want to win the title, so we need more points. Now Manchester City and Liverpool One point, I don't think that's enough, City are strong, Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham are strong, we have a lot of work to do."

"Salah and Firmino? You must know that Mane also played very well today, because he participated in almost all offense and defense. Salah and Firmino also maintained their good form. To their credit, everyone was great today, both Wijnaldum and Oxlade-Chamberlain."

"Zhang Mai? Normal rotation, I'm still waiting for Zhang Mai to kill in the Champions League!"

The current Premier League situation is extremely fierce. Liverpool and Manchester City are inextricably fighting for the championship. Wooden Bird's Manchester United and coach Sarri's Chelsea are trying to keep the top four. The powerful Tottenham are catching up. Arsene Wenger's Arsenal have also been rejuvenated after the latest round of rotation.

All the stars who fought in the Premier League also broke out collectively, and their performance stunned the world. Except for the Manchester City generals who are guaranteed money and money, there are rumors of transfers of other superstars.

As we all know, Chelsea has fallen into a trough recently, but Hazard has almost become the only player in the Blues who has performed normally.

The transcript of 6 games and 6 goals makes it impossible for anyone to ignore his role.

Due to the frequent ups and downs in Chelsea's state this season, the media have also made serious rumors that Hazard will defect to Real Madrid.

In this regard, Hazard also has his own attitude: "I remember ten years ago, when Zidane talked about me for the first time, the feeling was unbelievable. He was my childhood idol, and now he is the world. A manager of a top club, so yes, you never know how things like this will go."

In fact, it is impossible for Chelsea to sell Hazard. Among Chelsea's existing core players, Hazard is one of the few players who are in their prime.But what if the player wants to leave?Once Chelsea sell Hazard, who said that the Blues will not be reduced to a down-and-out giant like Arsenal?
As for Zhang Mai, the British media admit that it is impossible to estimate the value of this Chinese star. The 1.5 million worth marked by the German "Kicker" is simply a joke!

Even Tottenham's Kane claims 3 million. How much should Zhang Mai, who scores more goals and wins every year, be worth?

If Zhang Mai performs well in the next Champions League and World Cup, how much should the price increase?
The entire European media was silent, and the top executives of the major giants were also scratching their heads. What should we do?Let's go and see!
