Coach, I want to play football!

Facing Liverpool at home, which has been in hot form recently, "rock coach" Bilic's formation is really a bit rock'n'roll.

The Hammers did not arrange a defensive formation, although Croatian head coach Bilic is better at defensive counterattacks.

Perhaps it was because they were playing at home, or maybe they thought they had caught some loophole in Liverpool's defense?

West Ham United lined up a 4231 at home. The one in the frontcourt was Andre Ayew, one of the Ayew brothers. On the left and right sides were Antonio and Feguli. The attacking midfielder was Argentinian Lanzini.

It is worth mentioning that Andre Ayew transferred from Swansea City to the Hammers for more than 20 million pounds, which broke the transfer signing record in the history of West Ham United.

It was the arrival of Ayew that caused Enna Valencia to completely lose his main position in the Hammers, so he was loaned to Everton this summer.

Ye Qi looked at Feiguli and fell into deep thought. He always felt that the opponent's wing player looked familiar, especially the opponent's bald head that did not reflect light...

"Oh...I remember, this guy played in Valencia before!"

Facts have proved that Ye Qi's memory is indeed correct. This Feguli was his opponent when they played the Valencia regional derby.

The Algerian international footballer Sophine Fegouli was playing for the Bat Corps at the time.

West Ham United's performance in the Premier League has been ups and downs between the upper and middle reaches for almost a long time, but even the big six have to be cautious against their opponents.

After all, the nickname of the Hammers is not for nothing, and the Hammers have been ranked between 7th and 12th for a long time. Apart from the big6, they belong to the second group like Everton and Southampton.

So facing the Hammers away from home today, Liverpool head coach Klopp did not dare to be careless. After all, West Ham United finished one place higher than Liverpool in the league last season...

Although some slight adjustments have been made to the starting lineup, the core main force is still there.

Today Liverpool did not play 4231, but a 433 formation.

Ye Qi still leads the front line, with Coutinho and Mane on the left and right, and Henderson, Wijnaldum and Emre Can in the three midfielders.

On the central defender side, Matip will take a rest today, and veterans Klavan and Lovren will start together.

The game had just begun, and both sides first tested a few waves.

When the time came to ten minutes, both sides began to let go.

In the 12th minute, Ye Qi leaned on the opponent's veteran central defender Collins and passed the ball to Coutinho.

After the Brazilian got the ball, he hit a powerful long-range shot from the front of the penalty area. The quality was quite high, and it was even higher than the crossbar.

In the 16th minute, Stewart, who played as a guest right back today, made a pass. Ye Qi jumped up but failed to hit the ball.

Stewart's cross flew straight across the midfield, and even Coutinho on one side failed to catch the ball and rolled out of the baseline.

Looking at his poor quality cross, Stewart raised his hands apologetically.

Ye Qi looked at his teammates on the right and said to himself that although his crosses were equally bad, they were at least much better than his opponent's at the moment.

Stewart's usual positions are defensive midfielder and central midfielder, but he can also play as a left and right full-back, and can barely play as a central defender.

However, his full-backs are more focused on defense, and it is still difficult for him to pass and assist such pressure.

If Klopp hadn't wanted to give Klein a rest today, he wouldn't have been the starting right back.

In the 19th minute, West Ham United got a chance to counterattack.

After Anthony's breakthrough from the wing was blocked, he immediately gave the ball to Noble who followed up in the middle.

This midfielder who came from the Hammers youth training is currently the captain of West Ham United and is also the "five-star general" of the Hammers!

Noble seemed to be dribbling the ball in the middle. When Wijnaldum came up, he suddenly changed direction and buckled the Dutch midfielder away, then dribbled the ball diagonally.

Liverpool's captain Henderson came up to intercept. This time Noble did not intend to pass one by one, but handed the ball to the Argentine midfielder Lanzini in front.

After receiving the ball, Lanzini saw the right moment and immediately sent a through ball!

Ayew succeeded in countering offside and got the ball behind Klavan. The Estonian veteran's body and speed were still there and he quickly followed his opponent.

Ayew entered the penalty area and took a shot under the interference of Klavan!

But the quality was not high and was resolved by German goalkeeper Karius.

In the 25th minute, Mane's breakthrough created a bloody path. Ye Qi pressed forward to withstand the opponent's two central defenders Collins and Ogbonna, and then raised his hand to ask for the ball.

Of course Mane knew that Ye Qi was playing a screen, so he did not pass it to Ye Qi, but to Wijnaldum who was following up in the middle.

Wijnaldum did not stop receiving the ball, but immediately passed it back to Mane with the intention of doing a wall kick.

West Ham United's defensive midfielder Obiang knew something was wrong when he saw it, so after Mane received the ball, he immediately got up and squeezed Mane away with his body. After Mane lost control of his body, he immediately cleared the ball.

"Hey!" Mane spread his hands to indicate a foul.

Ye Qi, who was covering at the front point, saw it clearly. He also pushed the referee and complained about the foul on the opponent's player.

The referee also witnessed Obiang's foul, so after blowing the whistle, he gave Liverpool a free kick in the frontcourt.

However, considering that Obiang's pushing movement was not big and he blocked his position first, the referee on duty did not show a yellow card.

The location of this free kick is rather awkward, near the penalty area line. If you hit the goal directly, it is too close and the ball has no room to fall.

If you are hanging into the penalty area to find a teammate, it will be difficult to get over the opponent's wall.

Henderson and Coutinho discussed it and finally decided that captain Henderson would open the ball, while Coutinho took a few steps back to where Henderson was leaning behind.

After the referee blew the whistle, Henderson kicked the ball out. West Ham United jumped from the wall in the penalty area. Ye Qi subconsciously wanted to jump for the top, but he soon realized that something was wrong.

The ball did not come into the penalty area, but was played by Henderson through a little trick and passed to Coutinho who was leaning behind.

Coutinho did not stop the ball, but took advantage of the ground ball passed by Henderson, lifted the ball directly with one kick, and hoisted it into the penalty area.

At this time, West Ham United's wall was falling, and the ball crossed the wall and entered the small penalty area!

Ye Qi's eyes lit up and he immediately took off in the small penalty area!

Collins, the West Ham United defender who was marking him, also jumped up. Collins was very strong, so he wanted to use his body advantage to squeeze Ye Qi.

But there was no squeezing! Ye Qi is very stable!

With his beard and bald head, Collins looks like a man who is not easy to mess with and has a vicious mind. He can easily give people the impression of a strong villain.

But Ye Qi is also very strong. He is one of the few strong players in East Asia.

The only difference is that Ye Qi looks a bit handsome and a bit gentle. Not quite like a professional athlete, but a bit like an artist.
