Chapter 268 But that's it
Under Klopp's call, Liverpool quickly advanced their offense to Southampton's half.

Southampton's investment in defense is still relatively large.This can be seen from the fact that they did not press the formation higher when they first attacked.

After Liverpool's attack, Southampton quickly withdrew everyone except Rebic to the backcourt.

Southampton's defense itself is very good.When they pay more attention to defense, it is still difficult for Liverpool to break through their defense.

Liverpool, however, are not in the rush to attack either.They like to control the ball and attack in the opponent's half. They played very patiently against Southampton's better defense.

Liverpool continued to use short passes to find Southampton's defensive loopholes, but Southampton's defensive position was really good, and there were no loopholes to exploit.

After passing the ball several times, after finding no flaws, Salah stood up.After he got a pass from his teammate again, he made a dribbling breakthrough.

Salah is relatively A+-level strength, and breakthroughs are still his specialty.Bertrand, who only has A-level strength, quickly fell behind in one-on-one.There is no way to restrain Salah's strong suddenness.

After Salah threw Bertrand away with an inside cut, he did not take a long shot.Pawar made up the position relatively quickly, and did not give him room to kick.

So Salah simply flicked his foot and stuffed the ball straight into the penalty area, ready to pass it to Firmino.

Salah's pass was good, and Firmino used his running position to get the ball smoothly.

It's just that when Firmino was about to hit the goal, Van Dijk decisively fell to the ground and scooped the ball out.

Liverpool missed the chance to hit the goal.However, there is still a chance for a corner kick.

"Salah was very active today. This kid is merciless!" After watching Liverpool's attack this time, Dior couldn't help but said.

"It doesn't matter." Sun Yi said calmly.He didn't expect Salah to really do his best as he said, but it really didn't matter to him.After all, in a game, you can't put your hope on the opponent's players will release water.

"This kid is really excellent. Pulisic on our side is still a bit worse than him. No wonder you were reluctant to let him go at that time." Dio said with emotion.

"It's all over. Besides, if he doesn't leave, I really don't have the determination to leave the Nice team. I won't have a chance to join a better team. Don't you think so?" Sun Yi said with a smile.

"That's true. If you still stay there, you will definitely not be as comfortable as here." Dio nodded.It was because he couldn't stand it that he came to be Sun Yi's assistant when he had the opportunity to be promoted to the head coach.

After talking about Salah, Dior continued to talk about the situation on the field. "Our players are still under a lot of pressure, and we haven't been able to give full play to the tactical characteristics of bypassing the defense zone. It seems that the effect is far less than the previous games."

"The opponent is different. In fact, I am very satisfied that I can play like this. If you continue to play like this, when they can let go of their hands and feet, they will be able to create more opportunities." The players are still very confident.

He believes that as long as he continues to play like this, he will perform well after adapting to today's rhythm.

As for Liverpool's ongoing corner kick, Sun Yi wasn't worried at all.

The Liverpool team has the lowest average height in the Premier League, and their ability to compete for high-altitude balls has always been their weakness.Therefore, the Liverpool team seldom creates a big threat for corner kicks.

Sure enough, after the corner kick came, Van Dijk, who had a great advantage in height, pushed him out of the penalty area immediately.

However, the football that was ejected fell to Coutinho's feet.Coutinho counter-tuned into the penalty area at the first time, but was confiscated by goalkeeper Foster's alert attack.

This second wave of Liverpool's offensive is over.

Then it was Southampton's turn to organize the second wave of offensive.

Still the same as the first offensive, Southampton played patiently and cautiously.

With patient organization, the Southampton team successfully completed the tactic of bypassing the defense zone.

It may just be that the players were still a little tight, and they were not quick enough to shift the direction of attack, allowing Liverpool time to adjust their defensive positions.

In the end, Golovin swayed the defender's forced shot and missed the goal.

"Well, it's not bad. It's getting better." After finally completing Southampton's first shot of the field, Sun Yi stood up in a good mood and applauded the players.

Sun Yi was quite satisfied with this attack, but the Liverpool team didn't care much.

"That's all!"

"It is said that after the Southampton team changed their new tactics, they are very powerful. Now it seems that this is it."

A shot that didn't hit the goal frame was not considered a big threat by Liverpool.

"Go up, you can try to break through more!"

Klopp still has a strong grasp of the situation on the field.In just two offenses, he saw the strengths and weaknesses of Liverpool and Southampton in offense and defense.

The previous style of play that mainly relied on special ball penetration had no effect on Southampton's defense.After Klopp made this change, Liverpool's offensive threat immediately increased a lot.

In other words, the Liverpool team still has a lot of players with relatively strong dribbling and breakthrough abilities.

In addition to the more active Salah in front, it is also left winger Mane.

This black player from Senegal is not tall, but his assault ability is really strong.He, who also reached the A+ level in strength, made a surprise attack, and his power was not much weaker than Salah.

In addition to this, Coutinho behind Mane is also very capable of breakthrough.And it also has the strength of A+ level.

Three players with A+ strength began to take the initiative to attack.Immediately, the defensive players of the Southampton team were a little overwhelmed.Under the desperate defense, Coutinho still made a long-range shot from inside to form a shot.

The quality of Coutinho's long-range shot is still quite high, and it hit the goal frame.

Fortunately, Southampton's goalkeeper Foster is not bad, and he is in good shape today.He blocked Coutinho's long-range shot with a standard lunge.Just sent another corner kick to Liverpool.

Liverpool's offense is quite threatening this time.Much more powerful than the previous two.After all, it hit the door frame this time.

Continuous offenses are threatening, and with two corner kicks in a row, Sun Yi is worried that the players will be under too much pressure.So I came to the sidelines and shouted: "Steady. Play steadily, just continue to play according to our pre-match arrangement."

"Heh!" Hearing Sun Yi's words, Klopp, who was not far away, smiled indifferently.

"But so!"
