Reborn Liverpool

Chapter 359

Liverpool's second round of the league is the last game of this round of the Premier League. This is the 73rd time that Liverpool have played on a Monday, higher than any other team in the Premier League.

There are also certain advantages of being the last player in the game, that is, you can know the latest situation of the opponent, which is not stimulated by the news of the victory of the strongest opponent Manchester City.

At 8:20 on August 20th, Liverpool's entire army went south to challenge the home team Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

With Manchester City's 5-goal victory yesterday, Liverpool must get a goal difference of more than 3 goals in this game in order to continue to beat Manchester City.

For Liverpool, Crystal Palace is not an easy bone to chew. Liverpool also double-killed Crystal Palace for the first time since the 1997/98 season last season.

Although Crystal Palace has replaced the mild-mannered Hodgson as coach this season, the feud between many generals in the team and the Red Army has deepened, especially the Red Army's abandonment of general Benteke.

Benteke not only regards Klopp as the enemy who ruined his career, but also met Zhang Mai on the court, but in the end Zhang Mai was fine, but Benteke himself went to the hospital.

But in England.Football is football, no matter how evil people are, no matter how much hatred they have, they must obediently follow the rules when they are on the green field, score goals with their strength, and all others have to go away.

The big screen at Selhurst Park quickly announced the starting lineups of both sides:

Crystal Palace (4-4-2):

13 - Hennessey;
29-Pissaka, 5-Tomkins, 12-Sakho, 3-Van Aanholt;
10-Townsend, 4-Milivojevic, 18-MacArthur, 15-Shrupp;
17- Benteke, 11- Zaha.

Liverpool (4-3-3):

13- Alisson;
66-Arnold, 3-Maguire, 4-Van Dijk, 26-Robertson;
8-Keita, 10-Zhang Mai, 7-Milner;
11-Salah, 9-Firmino, 10-Mane.

In order to deal with the possible savage impact of the Crystal Palace, Klopp fine-tuned the starting lineup, replacing Wijnaldum with the tougher Milner with better defense, and Matip returned to the bench from injury.

Crystal Palace is still the old-fashioned main lineup. The double forwards Benteke and Zaha in front of Zhang Mai are a pair of dark buddies like brothers and sisters. One is a Liverpool abandoner and the other is a Manchester United abandonment.

The game officially started. Liverpool tried to suppress their opponents after the opening. The midfield and backcourt were both pressing up. The forward trident also started to press wildly.

In the 5th minute, Liverpool got the first shot, Mane passed the ball, and Salah's shot from the right side of the penalty area was blocked by Van Aanholt.

Since then, the game has reached a stalemate. Crystal Palace's recovery of defense did not leave Liverpool room to attack. The two sides fought more in the Crystal Palace's half.

The crowd was narrow, and the entire Crystal Palace team retreated to defend. Only Benteke stayed in the middle arc and Liverpool's two iron gates.

"Zhang Mai, look how good Ben Teke is, but he won't come back to meet you."

When Zhang Mai reached out to help Milner who fell to the ground, he heard the iron-blooded man teasing himself.

"Yes, taming chimpanzees is my favorite."

Zhang Mai really wants to have another passionate collision with Benteke, did he agree with Beast Front?What about blowing my head off?

What do you mean you are ten meters away from me? I can't catch up to you!

Zhang Mai said he was very helpless...

The field fell into a positional battle, and the emotions of the Liverpool players gradually became a little anxious as the offensive came to a halt.

In the 21st minute, Mane's goal was disallowed due to a foul by colliding with the goalkeeper. Mane, who knew it well, behaved meekly after scoring the goal and successfully escaped the referee's pursuit.

Soon afterwards, the newly joined Keita sent a direct pass, but Salah did not stop the ball well under a single chance, and finally made a hasty lob shot from the edge of the penalty area.

Crystal Palace fought back from goalkeeper Hennessey and narrowly missed Liverpool's goal in the 25th minute.

Benteke in front passed the ball as soon as he got the ball, catching Van Dijk and Maguire by surprise.Townsend cut in from the right and volleyed from 30 yards, but bounced off the crossbar. Zaha shot again and was blocked by Arnold who returned to the defense.

This Nima is the Crystal Palace. They can lose, but they will never lie down. Sharp and quick counterattacks can often penetrate the weakness of strong teams.

"Brothers, you have to use snacks, Crystal Palace is not a soft persimmon."

Zhang Mai reminded his teammates on the field, and didn't pay much attention to the eyes of the Crystal Palace players on the side. Uncle Scum who was yelling on the sidelines didn't dare to use rude words.

Zhang Mai increased the weight of his personal breakthrough and cooperative passing in the midfield, and the situation on the court gradually tilted towards the Red Army.

In the 34th minute, Zhang Mai split the side in the middle, then Mane passed the ball, and Keita's shot on the left side of the penalty area was saved by Hennessey.

In the 40th minute, Salah was brought down on the right. Zhang Mai's full-moon scimitar found Firmino in the penalty area. The Brazilian striker deflected the ball without marking.

Liverpool's continuous attack made all the fans of the home team nervous. The atmosphere in the huge Selhurst Park Stadium was very depressing.

Liverpool broke the deadlock in the 45th minute. Zhang Mai went straight from the front of the penalty area. Salah took the ball from 12 yards and turned around and was hooked by Sakho. The referee awarded a penalty and Sakho was also given a yellow card.

Salah made a point, the team's first penalty shooter Henderson did not play, the burden of free throws fell on another veteran, and Milner took the penalty kick.

1-0!Liverpool went into half-time with a goal ahead.

The game continued in the second half, both sides did not make any adjustments, but the Liverpool side obviously accelerated their offensive rhythm.

The Red Army began to play more on the two sides, and the combination of Robertson Mane and Arnold Salah appeared more active.

Because of the point made at the end of the first half, Salah was booed by the home team fans every time he took the ball, but the Egyptian monster front was not moved at all.

In the 49th minute, Salah made a low pass from the right side of the penalty area, and Keita, who rushed into the center first, missed the left post.

"It seems that the Guineans' shooting skills are average."

Seeing that Zhang Mai, who was squeezed out of the end position in the middle, was calm, Robertson, who was rushing back after the attack, complained loudly.

"Hurry up and go back and guard your left. You also have to practice your long-range shots."

Zhang Mai can understand Keita's eagerness to show when he is new here, but he will not be generous enough to defend the Guineans who took away his offensive position. He can only laugh at the familiar Scottish firecrackers...

As if in retaliation for Liverpool's shot just now, Crystal Palace immediately returned a wave of offensives while the Red Army's defense was not stable.
In the 52nd minute, Milivojevic took a direct free kick from 25 yards and was saved by Alisson. Then Van Aanholt shot obliquely from the left side of the penalty area in a corner kick melee.

Liverpool immediately fought back, and the army pressed up to besiege Crystal Palace. In the 56th minute, the Crystal Palace defender cleared the corner kick. Salah volleyed from the top of the penalty area and was headered by Sakho.

Afterwards, the occupation leveled off, and the director in charge of the live broadcast of the game started to make trouble!
In the 59th minute, Alisson flew to save Milijevic's free kick, and the broadcast shot was then shown to Pickford on the bench. The sight of Ke jubilantly getting up and applauding made the scene unbelievably touching.

In the 63rd minute, Benteke got the ball in front of the penalty area, but when he looked up, he saw that Zhang Mai was defending. The flustered Belgian striker hurriedly kicked the ball and shot it wide.

The broadcast shot was quickly shown to the two head coaches on the sidelines. Uncle Zha smiled, while Hodgson shook his head and smiled wryly.

In the 68th minute, Klopp replaced Milner with Henderson.

In the 72nd minute, Crystal Palace got a rare chance to counterattack. Zaha shot from 12 yards from the left side of the penalty area and entered Alisson's arms again.

In the 75th minute, Firmino made a direct pass. Salah broke through to the arc of the penalty area and was brought down by Pisaka.

Then Salah's free kick was blocked by the wall, and the Red Army's strong offensive put a lot of pressure on Crystal Palace's defense.

In the 79th minute, Mane made a cross from the left side of the penalty area, and Salah's header from the front of the small penalty area was pushed out of the crossbar by Hennessy.

The new captain Henderson took a corner kick and the ball went straight to the center of the penalty area. Firmino took away two defenders at the front point. Zhang Mai won the confrontation with Tomkins in the middle, and a lion shook the ball Fell into the Crystal Palace net.

2-0!Zhang Mai's header helped Liverpool secure the victory, but the Red Army had to score another goal if they wanted to beat Manchester City to keep the standings.

Since then, Liverpool's offensive has continued, and there is no sign of leading the opponent by two goals at all. Crystal Palace, which is behind and has few players, is struggling to defend with all its strength.

In the 84th minute, Hodgson sent a defender to replace Benteke who was avoiding Zhang Mai on the field, trying not to concede a goal.

Liverpool did not seal the victory until the 93rd minute. Van Dijk made a header in the melee. Zhang Mai got the ball in the midfield and split it to the right. Salah made a high-speed counterattack and made a direct pass. Mane made a single-handed breakthrough and shot Hennessey. Enter the empty door.

3-0, Mane, who scored a goal, finally stopped kissing the away turf, and Liverpool finally got the number of goals they wanted.

The game ended shortly after, and Liverpool finally defeated Crystal Palace 3-0 away. Zhang Mai scored in two consecutive Premier League games.

After the two rounds, Liverpool won both games and continued to top the standings with a total of 8 goals without conceding 1 goal, suppressing Manchester City, which scored 8 goals and conceded 1 goal in the two games.

Alisson has zero opponents in two consecutive games, becoming Liverpool's pinnacle of the sea, and has also won unanimous praise from the outside world.

Liverpool coach Klopp has always been known for his passion. After the team defeated Crystal Palace, Klopp revealed his unique motivation after the game.

Klopp said: "We can play better football. The first half of today's game was very intense, so it was not easy to make the right decisions. The opponent also got some chances. I know we have to play better."

And when asked about the nervousness he seemed to have in the final stages of the game, Klopp said:

"In these moments, the team is so sluggish, maybe the players need an angry manager to help at those times, so I shout: 'Run or I'll kill you!' They did it with a brilliant counter-attack. .”

Liverpool is now recognized as the favorite to win the Premier League in the new season. When asked whether Liverpool has issued a championship statement to other opponents with its performance, Klopp responded:

"I'm not interested in making a statement to Man City or anybody else, I just want to win games and that's what we did tonight."
