"I promise you, I would rather eat ten waffles with ten spoonfuls of honey syrup than lose to Manchester United tomorrow."
On August 21, the pre-match tactical meeting was Klopp's favorite mobilization session.
He patted his chest and assured all the players that he never wanted to lose this game.
Klopp habitually announced the starting lineup for the next day at the pre-match tactical meeting. Lin Chen, who was sitting in the front row, was a little nervous. He was a little worried whether Klopp would let him continue to start.
According to his highlight performance in the past two games, any coach should give him a chance to start, but it happened to be a bad time to meet the Red Devils and Mourinho's pre-match remarks.
Lin Chen was worried that Klopp would think that Mourinho's remarks affected his mentality and let him stand by on the bench, but Klopp and Lin Chen thought completely the opposite.
After watching Mourinho's press conference, Klopp, who was still hesitant about whether to let Lin Chen start, slammed the table and immediately decided that Lin Chen must start.
He understands the character of young players, and he knows what kind of player Lin Chen is.
From the first meeting between the two, Klopp knew that no words could defeat Lin Chen because of Lin Chen's neither humble nor arrogant attitude.
Mourinho's remarks would only completely arouse his anger, and for this reason, Klopp decided that Lin Chen would start the game!
Turning around and announcing the starting list on the projector, Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his name.
Klopp was right, Lin Chen was holding back a lot of energy in his heart.
There was an unknown fire, which started from seeing Mourinho's press conference and hearing Mourinho's provocative remarks, burning in Lin Chen's heart, gradually turning from a flame into a flame!
Klopp said loudly while patting the starting list on the projector.
"I will make adjustments based on your training and game status. Everyone will have a chance to be on the starting list. I promise you."
"And the starting 11 this time was decided by Kravitz and I after careful research."
"I trust you very much. The only thing I need you to do is to show the most courage, passion and imagination on the field and implement our tactics!"
"Win the game!"
"We need to score! Score! Score again!"
"Then defend! Defend! Defend again!"
...
August 22, Huaxia Live Studio.
Old Trafford Stadium, Manchester United's home.
Commentators Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu were ready.
When the live camera was turned on, some fans even thought they were on the wrong channel.
Until they heard the familiar commentary voice.
"Dear fans, you are watching the second round of the Premier League, the focus is on the Manchester United match!"
"Liverpool vs. Manchester United!"
"The stadium on the screen, which is shrouded in red smoke, is Manchester United's home stadium."
"Old Trafford, one of the oldest and most prestigious stadiums in England!"
Looking from above the live broadcast at this moment, red smoke was floating over Old Trafford, and even some fireworks could be seen mixed in it.
The fans in the live broadcast room were confused, but the Liverpool fans at the scene could only feel angry.
The game has not started yet, but Manchester United fans have already attacked them, mocking and scolding them crazily.
Fans of both sides continued to attack fans of the other side with insulting slogans.
Manchester United fans: "Toilet! You finally don't have to use mobile toilets at your home stadium now!"
Liverpool fans: "Manchester dogs! You are outsiders in Manchester! The sky of Manchester is always blue!"
Lin Chen was sitting in the locker room at this time, and he could even feel the tremor coming through the cement stone wall outside the stadium.
Liverpool players felt the strong pressure even before they came on the field.
Klopp said nothing, but his eyes were full of trust as he looked at all the players.
Kravitz waited at the door of the locker room, high-fiving and hugging the starting players who walked into the player tunnel one by one.
Lin Chen was the last to walk into the player tunnel, standing at the end of the team, with Manchester United's Lukaku on the right.
The Belgian center forward looked extremely confident, and his disdainful eyes drifted towards Lin Chen.
Coach Zhan began to introduce the starting lineup to the fans at this time.
"Fans, let's take a look at Manchester United's starting lineup. Mourinho arranged 4231, his best defensive counterattack formation."
"Goalkeeper: De Gea."
"Defenders: Damian, Jones, Smalling, Valencia."
"Double defensive midfielders: Matic, Herrera."
"Left forward Martial, right forward Ashley Young, attacking midfielder Mkhitaryan.""Lukaku is at the forefront."
Live broadcast room.
"We have the best young center forward Lukaku in the world, and his ability to seize opportunities is first-class!"
"Look at our luxurious bench, with the young and outstanding Lingard, and the super winger Rashford!"
"Who can break our defense? Who can?!!!"
"For Liverpool, Klopp arranged a 433 formation."
"Goalkeeper: Mignolet."
"Defenders: Moreno, Lovren, Matip, Arnold."
"Midfielders: Wijnaldum, Henderson, Lin Chen."
"Forwards: Mane, Firmino, Salah."
Live broadcast room.
"Who can blow up Manchester United's defense? Just look at our trident!"
"In one word, just do it! Kill Manchester dogs!"
"I am sitting in seat 102 of the North Stand at Old Trafford. I am being besieged by three Manchester United fans. Request for support! Request for support!"
The riot police have entered the field. A full 50 riot police and 80 security personnel have entered Old Trafford, forming a human wall to separate Manchester United fans and Liverpool fans to prevent conflicts.
The referee Atkinson led the starting lineups of both sides into the field, and the battle was about to start!
Lin Chen could clearly feel that the Manchester United players looked at their own side with anger.
The two sides stood in their respective half, Liverpool kicked off first, and the fans on the scene were instantly quiet, holding their breath, waiting to watch the game.
The referee Atkinson blew a whistle, and the game officially began!
Firmino passed the ball back, Henderson got the ball and was about to pass it to Lin Chen, but Lukaku had already turned into a missile and rushed straight towards him!
The shoulder hit Henderson's shoulder hard!
The referee Atkinson immediately whistled a foul and gave a verbal warning. Lukaku instead held his head with both hands, looking innocent, but this was just a small signal in this game.
After the game resumed, fierce collisions and screams were heard frequently on the field!
The game had just been going on for eight minutes, and Atkinson had already triggered four fouls!
"The middle road was handed over to Lin Chen, and he tried to turn around after getting the ball, and he fouled again!"
"Matic pushed Lin Chen from behind!"
Lin Chen was pushed from behind, staggered slightly, and almost lost the ball.
The referee immediately whistled a foul. After Lin Chen turned around and saw Salah who had already advanced on the right, he immediately sent a free kick.
Salah got the ball on his chest on the side, and without waiting for a breakthrough, Ashley Young retreated with a bull charge and knocked Salah away!
This time the Liverpool players were unwilling!
Lin Chen was the first to rush towards Ashley Young, grabbing his collar fiercely, and opening his mouth as if he wanted to eat someone!
Lukaku, Mkhitaryan and others rushed to try to push Lin Chen away, but found it was a very difficult thing.
Liverpool players then arrived at the battlefield, and a large-scale conflict broke out between the two sides, and the scene was in chaos!
The red smoke over Old Trafford became thicker and thicker, and even Klopp on the sidelines smelled the smoke!
Coach Zhan looked at the chaotic situation on the scene and couldn't help but sigh.
"Bloody battle, this is a real bloody battle!"
"Fans, don't blink!"
"I'm sure you don't want to miss any minute of this game!"
