Reborn Liverpool

Chapter 363
As soon as the results of the Champions League group came out, Premier League fans were not worried about whether Liverpool could qualify in Group C, but they were just afraid that Paris would set back the Red Army's momentum to win across the board in the Champions League group stage.

"Why don't you worry about Greater Paris? I am very happy to be able to compete with Mbappe again. Liverpool can beat any opponent,"

Zhang Mai, who came back from Monaco, said this in an interview with the British media.

The UEFA Champions League will not start until mid-September, but the league has to continue. The third round of the FA League Cup will also be held at the end of September, when Liverpool will face Chelsea.

On September 9, in the first game of the fourth round of the Premier League, Liverpool will go to the King Power Stadium to challenge Leicester City.

The Red Army's current main lineup has two players from the Blue Fox City, namely Zhang Mai and Maguire, both of whom have stayed in Leicester for a short season.

But unlike Maguire, Zhang Mai created the miracle of the civilian team winning the championship with his original teammates in Leicester, so he has a deeper relationship with Leicester.

9月1日19:20，激烈的比赛10分钟后就将开始，张迈却还在忙着与昔日的老队友寒暄。

First of all, Schmeichel was Zhang Mai's first fan in the Premier League. Schmeichel was more happy than anyone else about the reunion of the two.

Leicester have just announced through the official website that they have completed the renewal of the contract with the 31-year-old main goalkeeper Schmeichel Jr., and the new contract is until 2023.

Schmeichel Jr. joined Leicester from Leeds United in 2011 and has played 295 times on behalf of the team. In the 2015-16 season, he played 38 league rounds and helped the team miraculously win the first Premier League championship in team history.

This summer, many teams, including Chelsea, were interested in Schmeichel Jr., but he finally stayed with the team and has now completed his contract extension.

Schmeichel Jr. represented Denmark in the World Cup this summer. Although Denmark was eliminated by France in the 1/8 finals, Schmeichel Jr. performed very well in the World Cup.

First of all, Zhang Mai congratulated Schmeichel Jr. on the renewal of his contract, and at the same time hugged his former friends Morgan, Pereira, Albrighton, Gray and Shinji Okazaki one by one.

Funny that Vardy missed the game due to injury, Mahrez, Kanter, and Brother Drinking Water have already left his team, and the former civilian champion team has long been a different thing.

Shinji Okazaki, who was born in 1986, is getting older and will only serve as a substitute in this game, and he is likely to leave the Premier League next year.

"Zhang Maisang, amazing, you have finally achieved your original goal."

Shinji Okazaki was as humble and respectful as ever, and only when he saw Zhang Mai did he smile extra happily.

"It's the same with you, Shinji-kun, let's work together!"

Thinking of the years he spent with his friends in Blue Fox City, Zhang Mai also felt a lot of emotion.

The game started immediately, and the sidelines also showed the list of the two sides:
Leicester City (4-2-3-1):

1 - Schmeichel;

14-Pereira, 5-Morgan, 15-Hunter, 3-Chilwell;

24-Mendy, 25-Ndidi;
11-Albrighton, 10-Madison, 7-Grey;

31 - Ghazal.

Liverpool (4-3-3):

13- Alisson;
66-Arnold, 3-Maguire, 4-Van Dijk, 26-Robertson;
14-Henderson, 7-Milner, 10-Zhang Mai;

11-Salah, 9-Firmino, 19-Mane.

Liverpool double-killed Leicester City last season, ending the embarrassment of losing the previous three away games at the King Power Stadium. In this campaign, Liverpool is looking forward to winning 3 consecutive victories for the first time since the 1990/91 season.

Leicester City have lost all of their last 10 Premier League games against leading teams.

In order to punish Keita for his "superstar behavior" in the last round of the game, Klopp replaced Keita with captain Henderson, Wijnaldum also rested, and Milner represented the Red Army for the 100th time.

There was a little tidbit when entering the field before the game. Salah was held back by the small fans of the Blue Fox City, hoping to get the Egyptian striker's jersey, but naturally he got his wish on the spot.

"I have Zhang Mai and Salah's signed jerseys, but I still hope that Liverpool will lose to Leicester City today!"

The happiness of the little fans made Zhang Mai and Salah on the side quite embarrassed. There is no way, the fans of the Premier League team are so committed to death.

……

At the start of the game, Leicester City still used the anti-reverse lineup left by Ranieri and gave up possession of the ball to Liverpool.

Liverpool was not polite, and they attacked the Blue Fox City halftime, and almost scored in only 4 minutes of the opening.

Salah passed the ball, Firmino broke through to 12 yards and shot was barely saved by Schmeichel, Salah followed up with a supplementary shot and missed the right post.

Leicester was suppressed and unable to counterattack, Liverpool's offensive became more and more sharp, and finally took the lead in the 10th minute.

Robertson forced Pereira and passed the ball from the left, Morgan failed to intercept, and Mane took the lead and shot into the net 10 yards after stopping the ball.

1-0!Mane opened the scoring and Liverpool temporarily took the lead.

In the 16th minute, Milner took a corner kick and Maguire headed over the goal.

Nearly halfway through the first half, Leicester City also stepped up their counterattack and won several offensive opportunities in a row.

In the 28th minute, Ghazal made a direct pass, and Gray's shot from 12 yards on the right side of the penalty area was saved by Alisson.

Then Gray, Albrighton and Madison missed the outside shots one after another, Alisson also withstood a wave of tests.

In the 38th minute, Liverpool quickly counterattacked, Maguire passed the ball, Zhang Mai went straight in the middle, and Salah shot from the outside was saved by Schmeichel again.

Liverpool expanded the score in the 45th minute, Zhang Mai took a corner kick, and Firmino headed into the lower right corner from 10 yards, 2-0.

Both sides did not make any adjustments during the intermission, but Leicester City aggressively attacked from the beginning, trying to get back the score.

In the 47th minute, Albrighton passed the ball, and Madison shot from the outside was confiscated by Alisson.

Five minutes later, Gray made a diagonal pass. Madison got rid of Van Dijk and then passed Robertson, but the last shot from 5 yards was blocked by Maguire in time.
Then Endidi's shot from the edge of the penalty area was confiscated by Alisson.

In the 58th minute, Albrighton was injured and fell to the ground. Former Manchester City striker Ihenacho replaced Albrighton.

Leicester City continued to attack and finally caught Liverpool's mistake and pulled back a city in the 69th minute.

In the 69th minute, Alisson got the ball from the baseline.He should have passed the ball to his teammates in time, but he ignored the opponents who were pressing up around him, and instead turned around and prepared to dunk the opponent.

But in the end the ball was unfortunately intercepted by the opponent. Leicester City's Ghazal received a cross from his teammate, faced the unhandled gate, did not waste the opportunity, and successfully scored.

At this time, Liverpool coach Klopp, who saw this scene, couldn't help but froze in place.

It is worth mentioning that this is not the first time that the Liverpool goalkeeper has made such low-level mistakes recently.Klopp on the sidelines must have been deeply touched when he saw this scene that often happened to Karius.

1-2!This is Liverpool's first goal conceded in the new season, and it's also a super weird mistake from Liverpool!

This summer, Liverpool spent a lot of money to introduce Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson. Although he tried his best to keep Liverpool's goal in the first three games of the Premier League, his problem of unstable handling of the ball in front of the goal was also exposed.

Today, he finally paid the price for his "love to play with fire".

Uncle Zha naturally wanted to vent his dissatisfaction, and then Shaqiri and Keita replaced Salah and Henderson respectively.

In the 77th minute, Milner made a free kick from the right, and Mane's header went wide.

Alisson's mistake and giving a big gift aroused the fighting spirit of the Blue Fox City. Leicester counterattacked wildly in the last 10 minutes, and Liverpool was in danger for a while.

In the 88th minute, Liverpool had just overtaken Leicester's offensive. Alisson threw the ball to launch a fast break. Zhang Mai and Mane formed a single-handedly after cooperating in the frontcourt, and finally passed his friend Schmeichel Jr. Sent the ball into the gate.

3-1!Zhang Mai's goal at the last moment of the game completely sealed the victory, and Blue Fox City's hope of tying it was gone in a blink of an eye.

At the end of the game, Liverpool beat Crest City 3-1 away. Mane, Firmino and Zhang Mai scored successively. Ghazal caught Alisson's mistake and pulled back a victory.Liverpool lead the Premier League with 4 consecutive victories.

Finally, he scored all three points in the away game without any risk. Klopp picked up his mood and responded to Mourinho's comments at the post-match press conference.

Earlier, at the pre-match press conference between Manchester United and Burnley, Mourinho was asked if he did not lead Manchester United to win the league title, would he still consider himself one of the best managers in history? Mourinho said :
"Have you read the works of philosophers? You never take the time to read Hegel. Let me give you an example. Hegel said that the truth is all. Why don't you ask those who only get third in the Premier League? Or the question of the fourth coach?"

The reporter also said that Klopp never claimed to be a great coach.Mourinho responded:
"Because he's never won any Intercontinental Championships, that's his problem. I can only tell you what I think, and I'm answering your question."

Klopp's response was sloppy:
"What? What did he say? Now I'm interested. He's right, right, if he's talking about me. Maybe there are more coaches in the league, but if you think it's me, no Question. He's absolutely right. He's probably the most successful manager in the Premier League right now. I don't dispute that."

"I didn't watch Mourinho's press conference, should I? Then I'll start doing it. As for the rest I can't say anything more because there's no way to prove that what you say is 100% true. But if he He's right to say I haven't won anything outside of Germany, that's obvious."

Zhang Mai sees this more thoroughly. Mourinho's recent words and deeds reveal the shadow of the madman's 15-16 season, but the final outcome is to dismiss get out of class halfway.

It seems that Uncle Zha also saw this. Mourinho's life at Manchester United was difficult, so the kind German could only respond with a smile.

……

Since the beginning of the new season, Liverpool has won all four games and ran in the Premier League. Liverpool's trident + Zhang Mai = the strongest Premier League, which has aroused the amazing eyes of the whole English football.

Coupled with the upcoming Champions League group stage, the Red Army will point at Neymar Mbappe, and the British media expressed their optimism about Liverpool.

This summer, the Premier League giants Liverpool have become the focus with heavy signings, but after the start of the new season of the Premier League, the most impressive thing about Liverpool is not their new aid, but still their striker trident, Salah, Firmino With Mane and goal madman Zhang Mai.

In the 2-1 victory over Leicester City, Liverpool's striker trident was still fully fired, and although Salah did not score, he still created many opportunities.

In the first four rounds of the Premier League, Liverpool's striker trident plus Zhang Mai is currently the striker combination with the most goals in the Premier League.

This season, the performance of the striker trident has also become more mature. After a long period of running-in, the cooperation between them has become more and more tacit, and it has become the most important part of Klopp's tactics.

For any team's defense, they are undoubtedly a nightmare existence.

Except for Salah, Firmino and Mane, the depth of Liverpool's striker's bench is also quite enviable.

The newly joined Swiss striker Shaqiri this season and Sturridge, who returned on loan, both have good strengths. Even if some of the tridents are in poor condition or absent due to injury, Klopp has good substitute options.

Liverpool's striker is strong and can be called the most powerful offensive configuration in the Premier League.

Compared with other Premier League giants, Liverpool's striker can also be called "the strongest in the Premier League", and after adding Zhang Mai behind, it is even more unique in the world.

Manchester United has not strengthened the striker this season. Except for Lukaku and Sanchez, Martial has been hidden, and Mata and Lingard have limited strength;

Arsenal's Aubameyang, Lacazette and Mkhitaryan are good on paper, but the actual effect is not good;

Tottenham has generals such as Kane and Ali, but the depth of the striker is not enough;
Chelsea has the Premier League's top superstar Hazard, but the main center Morata has been unable to find his status;
The only one that can compare with Liverpool in terms of starting strength and depth of bench is Manchester City, but although Manchester City has Jesus, Aguero, Sterling, Mahrez and several strikers, they entered the state at the beginning of the Premier League The speed is not as good as Liverpool's striker.

Compared with other European giants, the strength of the Red Army Trident is not inferior.

In the UEFA Champions League group stage this season, Liverpool and the Ligue [-] overlord Paris were divided into the same group. At that time, the combination of Salah + Firmino + Mane will also be like Mbappe + Neymar + Cavani. They will also try to prove with practical actions that they can become one of the strongest striker combinations in football.

It's just that Liverpool still has a more terrifying Zhang Mai. Can Paris invite Maradona, who has retired for many years?
……

The whole people are enthusiastic about Liverpool, Guardiola and Manchester City soldiers can only bury their heads and work hard, trying not to be pulled too far away by the Red Army.

On September 9, Manchester City beat Newcastle 1-2 at home, Sterling scored a goal, Yedlin then equalized, Aguero assisted Walker into the world wave.

Stones, Mahrez and Jesus entered the starting lineup in rotation, and Manchester City only passed 90-2 after 1 minutes of hard work.

Compared with Liverpool's understatement of taking down Leicester, which is not weak, the whole people turned to hot discussion "Gua Shuai encountered a Mourinho crisis! The tactics are getting more and more ineffective. Don't try to dominate with one move."
