Reborn Liverpool

Chapter 384
The Red Army, who lost the Champions League, was depressed after returning to Liverpool. Zhang Mai, who was absent from Serbia, was not good at speaking. The Red Army's deputy Milner responded to the outside world.

"Liverpool Echo" reported that veteran Milner admitted that the team was too slow to enter the game against Red Star Belgrade, and the team's overall poor performance eventually led to their loss.

"The team had problems from the first half when the whistle blew, we didn't get into the game very well, as evidenced by the opponent's two goals. We improved in the second half and we had enough chances to turn things around. The game situation, but we failed to grasp it, so you will be punished for that."

"The whole game we weren't good enough in terms of passing or tackling, in everything we didn't do well, and when you don't play well in a competition like the Champions League, you get punished for sure. We've been Fighting to the end of the game and being patient is a positive, but you can't make a team start like that in a game like this."

The straight man Milner did not shy away from the away defeat. Talking about the next two rounds of group matches, Milner said that the Red Army must strive for victory:

"We just have to play and try to win and if the situation says we have to win then we have to. We know we can beat Napoli and PSG, they're two great teams and we can handle that. Our fate depends on us. We have shown that we are a very good team, but we have to perform better than last night."

Talking about the home atmosphere of Red Star Belgrade, Milner continued:

"The atmosphere here is very good, the support of the fans gives the home team a lot of motivation, Napoli have been here before and played very difficult. Red Star Belgrade often play in the Champions League, such games are always lively. It is not an easy one. The road trip, we knew that before, but we didn't do our job."

"Liverpool Echo" is half of the official media of the Liverpool club, so neither party talked about the embarrassing absence of Zhang Mai.

……

The Premier League has another round of the league before the national team match day, and this time it is Zhang Mai's turn to recharge his batteries and play in person.

On November 11th, Liverpool's 11th round of the Premier League began at Anfield Stadium, and Liverpool played against Fulham at home.

利物浦近4战全胜富勒姆。双方英超历史交锋26场，利物浦16胜4平6负占据上风。

Liverpool is eager to win this battle and has carried out a large number of rotations. Zhang Mai, Gomez, Maguire, Fabinho, Shaqiri and Firmino entered the starting lineup in rotation. Wijnaldum, Hender Sen, Milner and Van Dijk all sat on the bench.

Only 4 minutes into the game, Arnold made a pass from the right, Firmino tapped, and Mane's oblique shot from 12 yards from the left side of the penalty area was saved by the goalkeeper, Zhang Maifei shoveled the shot.

In the 16th minute, Salah and Firmino kicked the wall twice in a row. He flashed the opponent's tackle at 2 yards and then shot in front of the small penalty area, but Rico bravely blocked the ball.

In the 18th minute, Fabinho made a diagonal pass, and Arnold's header from 11 yards from the right rib of the penalty area flew to the back point. Zhang Mai's header rebounded into the net, 2-0.

In the 22nd minute, Shaqiri picked a pass from the front of the penalty area, and Salah's small-angle volley from the right side of the penalty area was saved by Rico again.

Fulham didn't get their first chance until the 24th minute, when Mitrovic passed the ball and Sessegnon shot just wide of the bottom right corner from the edge of the box.

Liverpool then counterattacked, Robertson made a long pass from the backcourt, and Mane shot the ball in front of the penalty area.

Neither side made any adjustments after the intermission, and Liverpool still had an absolute advantage on the field.

In the 49th minute, Shaqiri passed the ball. Mane shot from 25 yards and was saved by Rico. The Fulham defender was not far away. After Arnold got the ball, he made a pass from the right. At the goal, the ball hit the lower edge of the crossbar and bounced into the net.

5-0!Zhang Mai completed the big four in less than 50 minutes, setting a new record for the first big four of the season and the fastest big four in the Premier League.

The fans were still shocked by Zhang Mai's big four, and Liverpool expanded the score in the 53rd minute. Robertson made a tactical corner pass from the left, and the unguarded Shaqiri volleyed from the edge of the penalty area into the bottom left corner of the net, 6 -0!

The Swiss striker was still galloping on the field to celebrate, Klopp replaced Zhang Mai with Milner, and Hua Guochao came off the field amidst the applause of the fans.

In the 61st minute, Firmino passed the ball, and Robertson's furious shot from the left side of the penalty area was saved.

In the 70th minute, Henderson replaced Fabinho and Liverpool began to slow down.

The subsequent game leveled off, and Fulham was unable to organize a threatening attack. The Red Army only had the trident still working hard to score.

In the 83rd minute, Firmino's shot from a small angle on the left side of the penalty area was blocked, and then Salah's shot from the right side of the penalty area was also blocked.

At the end of the game, Liverpool beat Fulham 6-0 at home and continued to maintain a complete Premier League victory.

After Liverpool's victory over Fulham, an excited Klopp said that Salah's goal was due to the team's quick response, while Zhang Mai's four-time success came from the energy saved by the Champions League truce.

"Salah's quick goal stems from the quickness of the team, and Zhang Mai's big four made up for his regret of falling behind in the Champions League scorer list."

"We did get a little bit lucky, but again, the result can't be changed. I sympathize with Jokanovic's situation and wish him luck. I watched a lot of Fulham games, they played football with their hearts, I think Fulham should keep him in charge."

Speaking of the upcoming national team match day, Uncle Zha said that the Red Army will not be affected much:
"Keita playing for the national team? Guinea only has one game to play, which is good for Keita, he is in good shape. Most of our international players only have one game for the national team."

The outside world was full of amazement at the Red Army's resurgence in the league after losing the Champions League for the first time, and praised the Red Army's champion image and Zhang Mai's single-handedness.

Even the Spanish star Torres, who has now gone to Japan to play football, said that "I prefer Liverpool to win the Premier League championship, and Chelsea can wait."

Torres was also a big killer in the Premier League, and he has achieved good results in Liverpool and Chelsea.

Both Liverpool and Chelsea are favorites for the Premier League title this season. When it comes to these two old clubs, Torres expressed his support for Liverpool to win the title.

Speaking to Sky Sports in Japan, Torres said:
"Chelsea still have some of my team-mates, but Liverpool is gone, only Moreno, we played together in the national team. I still have contact with the Liverpool staff, I wish them all the best. I know winning the Premier League How important the champions Liverpool are. Hopefully they can win three in a row and Chelsea can win again next year."

"I want Liverpool and Chelsea to win every game, and when they go head to head, I choose not to watch the game. I had the best time of my life at Liverpool, I love the city, the fans and the club. I Still keep in touch with them and they made me feel like home when I was there."

"Zhang Mai is a football superstar from the East and an important guarantee for the team to win the championship. Fortunately, he is now in the Liverpool team."

……

On November 11th, the 12th round of the Premier League was all over. The results of the major giants were mediocre, but Manchester City had the last laugh in the Manchester Derby.

Tottenham beat Crystal Palace 1-0 in the away game, and they pressed Chelsea with the same points after 5 consecutive victories in the away game.

Chelsea drew 0-0 with Everton at home and still ranks in the top three of the Premier League.

Arsenal sit at home against Wolves.Cavaleiro scored in the first half and Mkhitaryan equalized the score in the second half. Arsenal finally drew 1-1 with Wolves, still staring at Tottenham's No.4.

Manchester City beat Manchester United 3-1 at the Etihad Stadium. Silva, Aguero and Gundogan scored goals, and Martial pulled back a victory.Manchester City continues to rank second in the league after 4 consecutive victories.

Manchester City only used Mendy to replace Zinchenko in this campaign, and the rest were the main players who played in the fourth round of the European War.

This Manchester Derby is Mourinho's 300th Premier League game. Rashford and Fellaini played in rotation, Sanchez entered the bench, and Pogba was absent due to injury.

Pogba's injury this round is still a great loss to Manchester United. There is no one in Manchester United who can get rid of the press and send a threatening ball like him.

To play against a team like Manchester City, there must be a sharp and quick counterattack, and defense alone cannot defend.

Mourinho wants Herrera to take on Pogba's tasks, but it is obvious that the Egyptian political commissar is not that material.

Ball possession and passing are meaningless against a team like Manchester City. Referring to last year's game between Manchester United and Liverpool, Manchester City's ball possession accounted for more than 6%.

In Manchester United's away win over Manchester City last year, Manchester City's possession was even higher than this one.However, the difference between the threatening balls (shots/shots) of the two sides is far less than that in this game, so there is no problem in playing Manchester City's defensive counterattack tactics, but it cannot be defensive without counterattack.

Manchester United once again suffered a disastrous defeat to their former city brother. Mourinho is a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water. After the game, he hastily dealt with the media and slipped away.

But no matter what is expected or not, the media is still trying to catch the madman plucking the wool, and the voice of yelling and yelling to get out is even louder.

There are also complaints about Mourinho, but such voices are only a minority after all.

In this contest of tactical styles, Mourinho was once again overwhelmed by Guardiola.

Although the outside world frequently criticizes Mourinho's skills and tactics, Manchester United star Vidic believes that there is no need to criticize Mourinho because he is such a style.

Talking about the criticism of Manchester United's style, Vidic said:
"If Mourinho continues to win, if we win 10 consecutive victories in this way, as a fan, I will definitely not be angry. To be honest, I also want to be a manager in the future, so I think criticizing Mourinho It's not fair."

"Mourinho is a manager, he's won a lot of titles. Now it's not the Manchester United we're used to seeing, it's Mourinho's Manchester United. When he comes to Manchester, you have to accept that he just plays it. He’s a coach of football. He’s at Inter, he’s at Chelsea. At Real Madrid he’s maybe a little more open, but at the end of the day, that’s Mourinho’s football.”

Guardiola, who won the same city derby, was very calm, which also represented Manchester City's cautious attitude towards league competition.

Guardiola said this in an interview with the media after the game:

"Of course it's good that Manchester City won the derby, but let's not forget that they (Liverpool) are also winning and are five points ahead of us."

"They lost in the Champions League this week, which only proves that the opponent has spent more energy in the Premier League. This year's league competition will be more intense."

All right!A good Manchester City duo meeting made Guardiola open a Liverpool situation analysis conference.
