My football skills are so strong! I am the king of control

"Pep Guardiola texted me last night and said he would pay me five quid to get rid of you in the dressing room."

Early in the morning on February 3rd, as soon as Klopp entered the club, he went up to Lin Chen, high-fived, hugged him, and joked with him.

"I swear on my life, the moment Pep Guardiola saw his daughter retweet your joining Madrid Fashion Week, the sky must have fallen."

Lin Chen smiled and hugged Klopp, then asked.

"So the five quid didn't impress you?"

Klopp replied with a shrug.

"Of course not, but I told him that if the price went up to ten pounds I would consider doing it."

"But Guardiola didn't give me what I wanted, what a mean guy."

"After playing against Bayern in the Bundesliga, I asked him to bring me a cup of coffee but he refused."

Klopp hugged Lin Chen and laughed, and the two walked into the cafeteria.

After the national team games ended, the clubs resumed their battles.

After 21 rounds of the Premier League, Liverpool still leads the standings. After winning the League Cup, another event, the FA Cup, also starts at the same time.

The FA Cup is one of the oldest cup competitions in today's football world and is also the most important cup competition for English fans.

Compared with the Community Shield and the League Cup, many fans believe that the FA Cup is more valuable, or that many clubs pay more attention to the FA Cup championship.

The Carabao Cup is a cup competition that distinguishes English football from the other four major leagues. Because of the existence of the Carabao Cup, English teams are the only teams among all the teams in the five major leagues that have the hope of winning seven championships.

However, due to the large number of games to be played, the English League Cup has become a useless existence among the top teams.

Professor Wenger was the first to send young players from the youth training system to compete in the English League Cup, turning this cup competition into a competition to hone young players.

Since then, many powerful teams have followed suit. If they can make it to the quarterfinals by rotating their lineups, the strong teams will start to consider competing for the League Cup championship.

But the FA Cup is completely different. Starting from the third round alone, the team will send out its main players to fight for the FA Cup championship.

On February 5th, the third round of the FA Cup officially kicked off, with Liverpool facing Championship team Derby County.

Due to the weak strength of the opponent, Klopp made a half-rotation lineup change. Key players such as Salah, Firmino and Lin Chen all sat on the bench to rest, but Lovren and Matip on the back line started together.

Klopp was still worried that the team would be attacked by Derby County, so he sent his main players to the defense.

After the game started, the young player Ibi showed his strength in the frontcourt.

England's center forward Danny Ings has good heading ability, and coupled with striker Solanke's interspersed running, Derby County's defense is in danger.

In the 27th minute of the game, Dennis received an assist from Moreno and scored with a header.

In the 60th minute of the second half, Solanke made a smart counter-run, received an assist from Danny Ings, and then unselfishly passed the ball to young player Ibe, and Liverpool successfully changed the score to 2:0.

In the end, Klopp won the third round of the FA Cup at the lowest cost, and Liverpool successfully entered the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Just three days later, Liverpool played against Bournemouth in the 22nd round of the Premier League. Bournemouth, ranked 13th this season, was very weak on paper, especially the back line, which was described by fans as paper-like.

February 8th, Bournemouth Stadium.

The 22nd round of the Premier League officially kicked off, and Klopp sent out his full main lineup.

Liverpool showed a strong sense of suppression at the beginning of the game, and the fierce offensive firepower made Bournemouth unable to raise their heads.

The 13th minute of the game.

"Liverpool still had the rhythm of attack firmly in their hands, with runs through the middle again."
