Coach, I want to play football!

When he saw that Matip also received a yellow card, Klopp on the sidelines felt something was wrong.

Now both his main central defenders have received yellow cards, which is not good news.

So he quickly asked the veteran Klavan on the bench to warm up, and at the same time asked Emre Can to move deeper to share the pressure of the two central defenders.

Although Leicester City's offense came from the passes of Mahrez and Albrighton on the wing, Vardy in the center was ultimately the first point of attack.

Although Okazaki Shinji's statistics are average, the Japanese forward is also smart. He knows that he is a tool man, so he is willing to become a tool man and help Vardy and Mahrez.

Sure enough, just three minutes later, after Shinji Okazaki got the ball, he made a through pass to Vardy before Henderson came up.

Emre Can, who was in the back position, stepped forward. He slid out before Vardy and destroyed the ball directly with his long legs.

Although he still encountered Vardy in the end, because he hit the ball first and it was not a tackle from behind, there was no foul.

Matip, who returned to defense, quickly made a big save.

It was at this dead ball time that Klopp made substitution adjustments, and Klavan replaced Lovren.

Ranieri on the side also looked at the time and saw that seventy minutes had passed, so he also used up his first substitution.

Young player Gray came on and replaced Albrighton.

Obviously this is a signal to strengthen the attack. Ranieri does not accept small defeats to opponents on the road, even at Anfield.

He wants to take away three points from here, but according to the current situation, the possibility is not very high, so taking away one point is acceptable.

Gray is young, has much better speed and explosiveness than Albrighton, and is good at breaking through from the wing.

The characteristics of the two are completely different. Albrighton is a winger who is good at passing the ball, especially long passes and crosses. He also has defensive capabilities on the wing.

Gray is a winger, and his main focus is a breakthrough from the wing.

Obviously, with Gray on the left and Mahrez on the right, Ranieri is planning to fly on both sides.

As a result, Leicester City began to change their formation, with Gray and Mahrez playing as two forwards. Shinji Okazaki's position is to drop back and play as a shadow forward or attacking midfielder.

From the parallel position of 442 to 4231, Vardy's single arrow came forward.

In the 73rd minute, the new Gray came on and posed a threat.

As a new force, his breakthrough on the wing is very sharp, and Klein can barely catch up with the opponent in terms of speed.

Although Klein is not slow, he has been a starter until now, and his physical fitness is not on the same starting line as Gray.

Seeing that the opponent was about to pass him, Klein had no choice but to choose a foul tactic and knocked Gray down, for which he received a yellow card.

Zhan Jun said: "Even though Liverpool is leading now, Leicester City's counterattack still caused a lot of trouble for the Red Army."

Liu Yue nodded, "Yes, it can be seen from the obvious increase in Liverpool's foul rate in the past twenty minutes."

Klopp on the sidelines also discovered this problem. Leicester City did not give up on such a result. Facing such a tenacious Blue Fox, a one-goal lead is definitely not enough.

While defending well, the offensive end still needs to be strengthened.

So in the 76th minute, Klopp made his second substitution adjustment.

Firmino came on and replaced Wijnaldum.

When Wijnaldum is on the court, Liverpool's formation switches between 4231 and 433, depending on whether Wijnaldum goes up or goes deep.

But after Firmino comes on the field, Liverpool's formation will change significantly.

Because Firmino's position is very flexible, he can play as a double center forward with Ye Qi. At this time, Liverpool's formation is

If you drop back slightly, you can play as a shadow forward or attacking midfielder. This is 4231.

Of course, this is not over yet, as long as Firmino thinks about it. He can also retreat further to the central midfielder or even the defensive midfielder position...

He has a very large area of ​​activity on the court!

Ranieri looked at this substitution adjustment and fell into deep thought. Ye Qi's movement was already very troublesome. Now there is another Firmino who has a larger activity area than Ye Qi...

Firmino's large-scale activities are not what he is most worried about. What he is most worried about is that Firmino will step up to play center, and then... Ye Qi's position will be completely liberated.

There will definitely be problems with your defense by then!

Ranieri was a little hesitant, the coach is like this, he thinks a lot.

But this hesitation is the bad thing.

In the 79th minute, Shinji Okazaki couldn't hold the ball under Emre Can's pressure, and there were people around Mahrez and Vardy in the frontcourt, so he could only pass the ball back to Germany who came up from the middle. Linkwater plans to reorganize.

But it was at this time that Henderson came out from behind. His pass from Shinji Okazaki appeared in the opponent's passing route, and he stretched his foot to poke the ball.

Although he didn't grab the ball directly, the poke still changed the course of the ball.

Drinkwater saw it and couldn't wait for the ball. He could only step forward to receive the ball.

However, Henderson did not give up and ran towards the ball at the same time.

The two of them were like two dragons playing with a pearl!

Drinkwater got the ball first, but he just stretched his foot to catch the ball...

Seeing this scene, Ranieri shouted excitedly on the sidelines: "Don't catch it, just throw the ball!"

Obviously, with this distance and the voices of fans from both sides in the stands, Drinkwater obviously couldn't hear his head coach's instructions.

Drinkwater stretched out his foot to catch the ball, but Henderson had already rushed up and grabbed the ball directly from the foot of the drinking brother.

If Brother Drinkwater had kicked the ball out directly, or kicked it to Fuchs who was pressing up from the wing, then Henderson would not have been able to grab the ball so easily.

Henderson, who got the ball, did not give Drinkwater a chance to counterattack on the spot, and immediately passed a direct pass to Firmino who was retreating.

Firmino took the ball and turned around in one go. He originally wanted to find Ye Qi, but when he saw that there was no defensive player around him?

So he quickly changed his mind and advanced with the ball himself!

Mendy's back was covered in cold sweat because Ye Qi was coming up front, so according to his previous deployment, he subconsciously retreated to keep an eye on Ye Qi.

But at this time, he saw Firmino advancing with the ball without any interference from his teammates. He hesitated and didn't know whether to continue to push Ye Qi or go up to grab Firmino.

Ranieri also saw Mendy's struggle. He yelled on the sidelines: "Dead brain! Go up! Otherwise, let the opponent dribble the ball from the center circle into the penalty area?!"

Mendy naturally couldn't hear coach Ranieri's voice, but he made his own judgment.
