"What terrible weather!" Henderson looked up at the sky and cursed harshly with a gloomy look in his eyes. When he turned around and saw the Liverpool players living under the same roof with him, his mood became even worse.

Henderson drove to Melwood training base early in the morning. Looking at the thick snow on the field, his mood has not been good. There is heavy snow falling from the sky, and it is getting heavier.

"Captain, tomorrow's game won't be cancelled, right?" Keita looked worried, but maybe God heard his voice, the snow suddenly stopped.

"I would rather the game be cancelled." Seeing that the snow had stopped, Henderson's face became even uglier. Keita and others didn't quite understand, but before they could figure it out, they saw someone shouting at them at the side of the training field.

"Bring up the tools and come up to shovel the snow!" It was Klopp, the Liverpool coach wearing a black down jacket, who had already started shoveling the snow with a shovel.

"This is why I would rather cancel the game!" Henderson sighed, turned back into the base to get tools, and started shoveling snow on the field.

Almost all the staff of the club and training base were mobilized, but it still took two hours to clear the snow on the training ground.

But it was just cleaned up, not completely cleaned up. There was always some snow left on the grass of the stadium that could not be cleaned up.

Li Qing stepped onto the court and kicked the ball lightly. As a result, the ball whizzed away for a long distance. Li Qing couldn't help but smack his lips.

"Come up and get used to the field. Two people per ball, pass the ball and cooperate!" Klopp shouted to the players, and soon the training ground became busy.

"Damn, this is totally out of control!" Henderson couldn't help but complain as he watched the ball fly far away.

The field, which had just been cleared of snow, had begun to form thin ice, and the speed at which the football was kicked became much faster than usual. Henderson became a little annoyed at the thought of the game being played in such conditions.

In the match against Leicester, Henderson will play as a right back. Henderson was already a little uncomfortable with the new position, and the sudden heavy snow made him even more depressed.

Normally, Henderson is in the midfield, and if he loses the ball, there are defenders to help, but in this game he is a defender, and if he loses the ball, it will result in a goal conceded, which puts a lot of pressure on Henderson.

Mane staggered and almost fell to the ground. The thin ice on the grass had a great impact on a speed-type player like him, especially when he was pushing off the ground to accelerate, he could easily slip even with studs on his feet.

Slipping on the football field means slowing down, and without speed, Mane's threat on the field will be at least 30% lower than usual!

Klopp obviously also noticed the abnormality on the training ground, but he could do nothing about it.

In fact, Klopp also hopes that the game can be postponed. Playing on such a field is definitely a huge test for the players on the field.

But it is obviously impossible to hope to postpone the game. He has just received news that Anfield Stadium has begun to clear the snow on the field, and the weather forecast also says that there will be no snow tomorrow, but the temperature will be very low.

"What a damn weather!" Klopp couldn't help but complain, but when he thought of other things in his mind, his expression became a little relaxed.

He has already received news that the referee for this game will be the famous English referee Martin Atkinson, who is an old acquaintance of Liverpool.

This famous referee once sent Gerrard off with a red card after he came on as a substitute for less than a minute in the 2015 Manchester derby.

But more often than not, Atkinson as the referee is good news for Liverpool, because data shows that when Atkinson officiates Liverpool's games, he gives Liverpool's opponents many more cards than he gives Liverpool.

Atkinson's last game for Liverpool was last year's Red Devils Derby, when Manchester United lost 1-3 to Liverpool at Anfield. It was that game that led to Mourinho being fired by the club two days after the game.

In this way, the timing is fair for both sides of the game. Liverpool can adapt to the venue one day more than their opponents, which is considered to be an advantage of the location. Now with the advantage of the referee, they have both the location and the people, so Klopp has more confidence.

However, these are just external conditions. If Liverpool wants to win this game, they still have to rely on their own strength to solve the problem.

The opponent Leicester City has a complete lineup, and the Foxes' coach Pierre is an old acquaintance, especially Liverpool's main central defender Van Dijk, who once played under Pierre, who was the head coach of Southampton, for a period of time.

Therefore, Liverpool's current defense will definitely be the focus of Leicester in the game. Because of the last game, I believe Pierre will make tactical arrangements targeting Liverpool's defense.

Klopp is a little worried about this. Lovren has just returned from injury and for safety reasons it is not suitable for him to be sent on the field immediately. Matip is not so reassuring, but the most worrying thing is that Van Dijk has had a minor injury recently.

Although Van Dijk's minor injury does not affect the game, it also casts a shadow in Klopp's heart. After all, in the entire Liverpool defense, only Robertson is completely healthy.

As for the right wing where Henderson temporarily played, it is also the direction that Klopp is worried about. After all, Henderson is not a defender. As an attacking midfielder, Klopp is very worried that Henderson will not be able to return in time after advancing in the game.

But compared to these, Klopp is more worried about Li Qing.

In the match against Crystal Palace, Li Qing's performance was really abnormal.

Although Liverpool's top scorer helped the team end the game at the end, Li Qing's performance throughout the game was very puzzling.

Originally, Klopp planned to find time to have a good talk with Li Qing, but he forgot about it because he got busy. In addition, Li Qing's recent training condition seemed to be good, and Klopp was worried that the conversation would have a counterproductive effect, so he put it aside.

But the sudden snowfall today brought back Klopp's worries.

After all, Li Qing, like Mane, is a speed-type player. Once the game goes into a snowball fight, Klopp is worried that Li Qing will perform poorly again. Once such a situation occurs, it will be a disaster for Liverpool's offense.

But at this moment, Li Qing on the court made a very artistic pass, and the ball accurately found Keita opposite him. Seeing this scene, Klopp suppressed his uneasiness.
