Reborn Liverpool

Chapter 99
Nothing happened in the midfield, the two sides changed sides to fight again, Liverpool continued the offensive in the first half, and Benteke also began to slowly adapt to the team's high-position pressing and fast-paced style of play.

In the 54th minute, after stealing the ball from the backcourt, Henderson directly found Benteke with a super long-distance long pass. The latter did not succeed in crossing the penalty area. At that time, there were three teammates in the penalty area who could respond.

In the 57th minute, Henderson passed the ball low and straight, and Firmino passed it to the goal. Unfortunately, Lallana had no way to turn around and shoot in the face of the defense.

In the 60th minute, Klein made a transition, Henderson went forward and then made a pass, and Benteke headed high in front of the goal.

Leicester City is obviously at a disadvantage on the field, and even Zhang Mai saw Ranieri call the assistant coach to urge the substitute to warm up.

In the 63rd minute, Firmino teamed up with his teammates from the left and knocked horizontally. Benteke followed up in the penalty area and scored a goal, 1-0!Liverpool set the record first!

The red Anfield stadium began to boil, and the high-pitched singing of the Red Army fans went straight to the sky, making people's blood spurt.

In the 69th minute, Ranier replaced No. 23 Vardy with No. 9 Ulloa, and No. 24 Dyer replaced No. 20 Okazaki Shinji. The dejected Vardy returned to the bench and bowed his head, while Okazaki Shinji sat To Zhang Mai's side.

"Zhang Mai, today's game is a bit difficult to play. Liverpool's goalkeeper Mignolet seems to be on the hook."

Shinji Okazaki was also a little frustrated, but he was right, Vardy and Mahrez did use Mignolemo.

"This is Anfield. Liverpool's players are like chicken blood. It doesn't matter. Even if we lose a game, we will still be number one in the league."

Zhang Mai had to comfort the Japanese Allied Army, and the two seemed to have a tacit understanding without mentioning whether Zhang Mai could play.

"Zhang Mai, I heard from Ranieri that you might go to Liverpool next season, right?"

"Depressed for 3 minutes, happy for a lifetime" Vardy came over.

Nima!No wonder Ranieri didn't send me to play, it turned out that there were rumors floating into his ears!

"How can it be? Jamie, even if Liverpool want to buy me, then I should score more goals in their goals."

"That's right, these wealthy families have always followed the policy of buying them if they can't beat them!"

I forced Vardy to agree with Zhang Mai's statement, because all the giants in world football have this virtue.

While a few people were talking, the situation on the field changed a little, and Leicester City's substitution tactics began to take effect.

In the 74th minute, Leicester City cooperated from the left. Fuchs made a pass in front of the goal. Dyer grabbed a shot and Mignolet dexterously saved it.

In the 78th minute, Zhan dribbled the ball forward after stealing the ball in the midfield, and took another long shot from outside the penalty area, but it was high.

In the 81st minute, Fuchs threw a throw-in to create chaos in the opponent's small penalty area. Sacco almost hit his own goal. Fortunately, goalkeeper Mignolet took the lead to hug the ball.

In the 82nd minute, Ranieri made another substitution, replacing No. 19 Mahrez with No. 26 Kramaric who was doing nothing.

Well, Leicester City's three substitutions are all used up, and Zhang Mai can enjoy the game with peace of mind.

Since this substitution, Leicester City has completely fallen into a passive and beaten situation, and the few players replaced are not as good as the previous Vardy.

In the 83rd minute, Coutinho dribbled the ball to the front of the penalty area and took a long shot. The ball was slightly higher than the crossbar.

In the 86th minute, Leicester City made a clearance and the two collided. Firmino went up to steal the ball. Facing a large space on the left, he shot obliquely at the far corner, but it missed.

In the 88th minute, Liverpool made a long pass, a good opportunity for three-on-three in the frontcourt. Henderson entered the penalty area and crossed, but no one responded.

At the beginning of stoppage time, Klopp also played substitution tactics. He replaced No. 24 Lallana with No. 20 Joe Allen, and No. 21 Lucas replaced No. 10 Coutinho. It takes 2 minutes.

In the final stage of the game, Leicester City launched an attack for the last time. Goalkeeper Schmeichel ran directly into Liverpool's penalty area to compete for a header. After Leicester City's attack failed, Liverpool quickly counterattacked. Timely kick, a good opportunity wasted.

In the end, Liverpool defeated Leicester City 1-0, stopping Leicester City's unbeaten league record this season.

The Leicester City players who lost the game did not have much regret. They have been undefeated this season, and now they have dropped the No. 28 points in the league. There is no shame in a strong team, and everyone's pressure has been relieved.

Ranieri himself has no pressure. He has always insisted that "the team's goal this season is to relegation" and blocked many media criticisms.

As for why a reporter mentioned why the shooter king Zhang Mai was not in this important game, Ranieri's reason for "protecting young players" is also speechless.

"Excellent young players are the long-term future of the team, and proper protection is for the long-term development of the players in the future."

Klopp, who was later interviewed by reporters, also agreed with Ranieri's approach.

All right!As long as you are happy, it is estimated that Klopp can't wait for Leicester City to hide himself in the next games of this season, but Ranieri is afraid that he will suffer internal injuries after hearing about it.

Zhang Mai didn't have any thoughts about his failure to play, but the thousands of Huaguo fans who didn't appreciate Zhang Mai's heroic demeanor had a little regret.

But some media reports and player interview news after the game are a bit interesting.

Benteke (Liverpool striker): "We've had a tough season, but today we showed the character that Liverpool should have. We have a good team of players. You have to be patient. A few days ago I was with Crowe. I had a conversation with Pu. He encouraged me to fight for Liverpool, and I will strengthen my competitiveness and try to do this. The competition in the league this year is very fierce. We must continue to work hard in 2016. Worse than last year."

This is very straightforward, that is, our Liverpool players are very good, and Klopp is not very willing to use me. If this year's results are worse than last year, everyone will know whose responsibility it is.

It can be said that "if you don't die, you won't die"!It doesn't matter if he is ugly, but his IQ is so low.

Is this what a player should say?Even if the chairman of the club said it, everyone would think it was a prelude to the coach's dismissal, and Klopp has just entered Liverpool, is it possible?

No wonder Klopp had to send the Belgian gorilla away after the end of the season. Since then, Benteke can only go from bad to worse and become an ordinary player in the Premier League.

"We knew it was going to be tough today and Liverpool will have a lot of motivation to go for the win after a big defeat last round. We don't like to lose and it hurts. But we have another in three days. We have an important game to play and we have to look forward."

Simpson (Leicester City defender) speaks much better, so players should not talk about the coach unless necessary.

Players have to say, the media has its own judgment criteria, and the comments of major news media after the game reflect the current mainstream views.

"Sky Sports": "Although Liverpool beat Leicester City with the goal of the Belgian in this game, and achieved a very important victory for Klopp, Benteke missed incredible at the last moment. Goal must be scored, but it still makes people doubt whether Benteke can play Liverpool's offensive role."

"Mirror": "Leicester City's strong momentum was ended by Liverpool. Compared with the Blue Foxes, Klopp's team is more eager for victory. Liverpool suppressed Leicester City most of the time today, and they deserve this. victory."

"The Times" final rating of the player is:

Benteke (6.5 points): Substitute surprise soldier, scored the winning goal for Liverpool.But missed an empty goal at the last moment.

Henderson (7.5 points): Received a true pass from the Jie team. In this game, he sent many accurate medium and long passes, which was of great help to Liverpool's offense.

Mignolet (8 points): The best player of the game, high-resisting and resisting many times to resolve dangers, and successfully blocked Leicester City.

Vardy (6 points): He didn't get many opportunities under Liverpool's pressure and was replaced after only 69 minutes.

Mahrez (6 points): Like Vardy, both were overshadowed by Liverpool's bravery.
