Reborn Liverpool

Chapter 370
After Liverpool defeated Chelsea, they continued to occupy the top spot, successfully ended the September competition, and played triumphant songs on all three fronts.

The Red Army does not have many matches in October. Two Champions League away games and three league rounds. The highlight is the two-horse confrontation with Manchester City on October 10, which is directly related to the direction of the league.

Prior to this, the away game against Naples on October 10 was not easy. Liverpool seemed to be struggling against the Italian team that was good at defense.

News came out on October 10 that "Turin Sports" narrowed down the previous list of 2 candidates for the European Golden Boy Award to 60, and last year's winner Mbappe is still the biggest favorite.

The 40-man roster was drawn from a previous 60-man roster.The European Golden Boy Award is an award selected by the "Turin Sports Newspaper". The participating players must play for European teams and be under the age of 21.

In the selection history of the European Golden Boy Award, no player has been able to defend the title. With the World Cup champion, the World Cup Golden Boy Award and his outstanding performance in Ligue 1, Mbappe is very likely to become No.[-].

As for Zhang Mai, who is a month younger than Mbappe, he was excluded from the list of Golden Boy Awards the year before last. Without him, the Huaguo star has long been a recognized superstar in football.

Zhang Mai also looked at this list and found that Liverpool's Arnold was also among them, and the rest may not be as good as Mbappé and Arnold.

The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, so Zhang Mai had no choice but to laugh when the media asked about the Golden Boy Award, saying that there are too many outstanding people this year, and anyone can do it.

In a blink of an eye, October 10th, the second match day of the 4/2018 UEFA Champions League Group C, a focus match was held at the San Paolo Stadium. Liverpool challenged Naples away.

利物浦此前11次客战意大利球队仅4次取胜，另外7场3平4负，其中2010年客战那不勒斯互交白卷战平。

Naples had only lost one game against Manchester City last season in the previous 6 home games against Premier League teams, and had 5 wins and 4 draw in the remaining 1 games.

Naples (4-3-3):

25 - Ospina;

19- Maximovich, 33- Albiol, 26- Coulibaly, 6- Rui;

5-Alan, 17-Hamsik, 8-Ruiz;
7-Callejon, 99-Milike, 24-Insigne.

Liverpool (4-3-3):

13- Alisson;
66-Arnold, 3-Maguire, 4-Van Dijk, 26-Robertson;
8- Keita, 5- Wijnaldum, 7- Milner;
11-Salah, 9-Firmino, 10-Mane.

Last weekend, Naples lost 1-3 away to Juventus in Serie A, and Liverpool narrowly beat Chelsea 2-1 away in the Premier League.

In this game, Naples goalkeepers Meret, Chiriches and Younis were absent due to injuries, Mertens was on standby, Hamsik was in the midfield, Callejon, Milik and Insigne made three arrows;

For Liverpool, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Origi and Lallana were absent due to injuries. Zhang Mai was on standby for the top game three days later. Keita rotated Henderson to play, and Mane, Firmino and Salah started together.

Both sides adopted a 4-3-3 main offensive formation. The old man in the Champions League, Carlo Ancelotti, has obviously more experience than Uncle Zha. With the advantage of home court, he played against Liverpool.

At the beginning of the game, both sides tried to control the game after the opening. The Italians deployed heavily in the midfield and were particularly aggressive in fighting.

On the contrary, Liverpool, who were very uncomfortable with Naples' way of treating others in their own way, have not been able to enter the state for a long time.

In the 11th minute of the game, Liverpool made a mistake in passing the ball in the backcourt. Callejon made a pass. After Insigne stopped the ball in the chest, a low shot from the left rib of the penalty area and the far corner slightly missed the right post.

In the 16th minute, Naples counterattacked successfully again, and Callejon shot 35 meters above the crossbar.

Shortly thereafter, Hamsik passed the ball, and Insigne's 25-yard arc shot slightly missed the upper right corner.

Zhang Mai is not on the field, and Keita's possession of the ball in the midfield has increased, but the fierce Italian hits the small Keita more fiercely.

Liverpool then suffered a blow. In the 19th minute, Liverpool was forced to make substitutions and adjustments. Keita was injured and carried off on a stretcher. Captain Henderson replaced him.

Henderson's appearance improved the hardness of the entire Red Army's midfield, and Liverpool gradually regained some disadvantages.

Coulibaly received a yellow card for uprooting Van Dijk in the 25th minute.

In the 26th minute, Robertson made a cross from the left side of the penalty area, and Wijnaldum shot from the top of the penalty area and missed the left post.

In the 33rd minute, Rui made a cross from the left side of the penalty area, and Milik's penalty kick was resolved by Alisson.

In the 38th minute, Robertson passed the ball, Salah tried to shoot from the top of the penalty area and was blocked by the defender, and then Arnold shot and masturbated from the right side of the front court.

Milner uprooted Alan in the second minute of stoppage time and received a yellow card.

The two sides came and went, and no one could knock on the opponent's door, but it can be seen that in this game, Salah, Mane, and Firmino were in a sluggish state and did not perform well.

At the end of the first half, Liverpool's away game with Naples maintained 0-0 and entered the intermission.

In the second half, the two teams changed sides and fought again. Naples continued to maintain a high pressure in the midfield, and the situation on the field was exactly the same as in the first half.

In the 50th minute, Insigne passed the ball, Milik shot from outside the penalty area and was saved by Alisson, and Maguire made a clearance before Callejon.

In the 51st minute, Naples made a corner kick from the right, Koulibaly flew the header, and Louis shot from the left side of the penalty area was confiscated by Alisson again.

In the 56th minute, Ruy made a cross from the left side of the penalty area, and Van Dijk blocked the baseline because of Signe's shot from the front.

In the 59th minute, Insigne made a pass from the left side of the penalty area, and Milik shot from the top of the penalty area and missed the left post.

In the 60th minute, Louis passed the ball, and Alan's 30-meter shot was blocked by the defender.

Liverpool didn't have their first shot of the second half until the 68th minute. Naples cleared the corner kick and Salah's shot from inside the penalty area missed the right post.

The old and cunning Ancelotti saw that Liverpool was showing a tendency to recover, and even changed two players to maintain the pressure on Liverpool.

In the 69th minute, Naples replaced Milik and Ruiz, who were physically weak, by Mertens and Verdi.

Naples added a new force, and Liverpool was almost completely suppressed in the half.

Now even Zhang Mai on the sidelines can see that the Egyptian pharaoh is completely out of shape, and he has become the terminator of the Red Army's attack every time, and even the entire striker trident of the Red Army is invisible on the field, but I'm afraid that the stubborn uncle will employ people Will be playing all the time.

On the opposite side, Naples had the upper hand, facing the double champions of the Premier League, they were extremely brave, and all of them played exceptionally well.

Once in and out, the prospect of the Red Army may not be good, so they have to change quickly!

Of course Klopp knew that he had to change the passive situation on the field through substitutions and adjustments, but who and how to change made Uncle Zha embarrassed.

Salah's performance in this field is like Naples' defensive 12th man, and he should have been replaced long ago!

But the unshaven Egyptian pharaoh is a sensitive and shy man. He has performed mediocre in the Premier League this season. After this change...

After Klopp's short thought, Liverpool appeared in danger again on the field:
In the 73rd minute, Salah broke through with the ball and was intercepted again. Naples quickly counterattacked. Verdi, who had just come off the bench, missed the goal from 20 yards.

In the 75th minute, Coulibaly made a cross from the left side of the penalty area, and Callejon volleyed from the right side of the penalty area and was cleared by Van Dijk in front of the goal line.Subsequently, Coulibaly shot from the top of the penalty area over the crossbar.

Uncle Zha, who was shocked into a cold sweat, no longer hesitated, and immediately adjusted his personnel to make Zhang Mai ready to play at any time.

When Zhang Mai, who was standing on the sidelines, saw that he was replacing Milner, he was in a bad mood:

I test!It's Salah who is going to play. Didn't you see that the Egyptians have become black holes on the Red Army's field, and the ball will go over as soon as it hits his feet. Could it be that Salah is the only son of Liverpool?

Sturridge is in hot form recently, Uncle Zha, you should give Sturridge who is in hot form more chances.

If he continues to be stubborn, he will not only cripple Salah's self-confidence, but also neglect Sturridge's loyalty. Besides, Shaqiri can also be properly rotated.

In the 76th minute, Zhang Mai still replaced Milner, and appropriately increased the organization and possession of the midfield.

Salah, who was eager to ask his teammates for the ball throughout the game, did not dare to yell at Zhang Mai, and Liverpool's disadvantage was slowly reversed, and the field returned to a five-fifth trend.

Naples ran out of substitutions in the 81st minute and Zelinski replaced Hamsik.

In the 82nd minute, Naples almost took the lead. Ruy made a pass from the left side of the penalty area. Mertens hit the crossbar.

In the 86th minute, Zhang Mai and Wijnaldum collided with the wall at the front of the penalty area. When they got rid of Coulibaly, they were held back by the latter. Liverpool won a free kick.

Zhang Mai didn't take the free kick, but ran to the middle of the penalty area after muttering with the serving captain Henderson...

"Uncle Zha is probably not willing to win a draw in the away game."

Before the referee blew his whistle, Zhang Mai looked at the sidelines and saw that Uncle Zha called Sturridge, who was eager to try.

late!Klopp's substitution was too late, Uncle Zha was stubborn in employing people, and gave Sturridge too little time.

It took only 80 minutes to play, do you still want to count on Sturridge to make another lore?
Once is the embodiment of status and luck, more is just haha, this...

Why!The substitution was wrong, it was Ma Nei who got off, this scumbag was really strong, it seemed that he had to rely on himself.

Zhang Mai looked at Coulibaly next to him, and decided to make a rugby run like the England team.

Zhang Mai, Van Dijk and Maguire, three tall men close to 1 meters, lined up in a straight line in the center of the penalty area, which stunned several Naples defenders.

Henderson's free kick was fast and flat, heading towards the goal. Van Dijk in the middle of the row took off on the spot, attracting Maximovic and Albiol

Jump up.

Maguire ran to the front point on the left, took away the big black Coulibaly, and Zhang Mai rushed to the back point in the direction of the right post...

When the fast and fast ball spun to the back point, Zhang Mai completely defeated the two dwarves - Rui and Insigne who was helping to defend, and pushed the ball hard into the net.

1-0!The visiting team Liverpool, who had been suppressed for more than 80 minutes, opened the scoring, and it was less than 5 minutes before the end of the game.

The game continued, the tenacious Naples did not mess up their position, still insisted on their own offensive and defensive rhythm, and soon received the gift of the audience's dominance.

To be precise, it is the joint gift of Klopp's stubbornness and Salah's downturn:
In the 90th minute, Salah stuck the ball in the front court and was intercepted. Naples counterattacked again. Callejon made a pass from the right. Neither Alisson nor the Red Army's defense line could intercept it. The unguarded Insigne scored from the edge of the penalty area. .

1-1!Naples was absolutely tied, and the Italian fans cheered thunderously...

With the whistle of the referee, the game officially came to an end, and the two teams finally shook hands 1-1.

Liverpool originally had a luxurious striker lineup, but in this game, Salah, Mane, and Firmino were in a sluggish state and did not perform well. They almost led to their first defeat in the Champions League!
On the other hand, Naples, whether it is the striker or the defense, has played well.

Insigne's on-the-spot lore by the Italian dwarf deserves a draw in this field. This is the result of the hard work of Ancelotti and the Naples team.

If there were not Alisson, Van Dijk and Maguire in this game, Liverpool would be beaten.

The biggest difference between Aguero and Salah is that the former returned from injury and returned with full blood; the latter lost half of his skills after returning from injury.

The devil's schedule has just begun, will Klopp plant a tragedy for his stubbornness?

This Champions League away game against Naples is Liverpool's worst game of the season.

On the weekend of October 10th, Manchester City will also host Manchester City. This game will determine the Red Army's season trend.

If Klopp still insists on using Salah, who is in poor condition, it may be bad.

Although Manchester City's core De Bruyne is injured, the attack line led by Silva cannot be underestimated, not to mention that Manchester City has recently emerged another Silva.
