football career from scratch

For Liverpool up and down, the [-]-[-] home defeat of Tottenham is undoubtedly an extremely important game.

The win over Tottenham was one of Liverpool's brightest performances so far this season, and a win in such a fantastic game at home not only closed the gap between Liverpool and Tottenham to one point - it actually closed the rankings. There is no change in Liverpool on the list, it is still seventh. At the same time, with all the previous strong teams winning, Liverpool is still four points away from No.4, but such a victory is enough for them to build up enough confidence!

More importantly, Klopp saw clearly that this new set of tactics is absolutely effective.

Bu Qingyun, a player with excellent skills, and two Brazilian players, Cuneo and Ferno, quickly established a tacit understanding. With a diligent Marne, this offensive combination has no problem on the court , although there are still some shortcomings such as lack of strong attack ability and height ability, but as a conventional weapon, it is enough.

That's important for a long league.

In this game, Bu Qingyun scored a goal, Ferno also scored a goal, Cuneo completed an assist, Marne has been running...Under such a tactical system, their abilities can be brought into full play. this point is very important.

Liverpool's poor performance in the first half of the season was not due to any problem with the state of these players, but because their abilities could not be fully utilized under the current framework, which is why they always performed poorly.

It is extremely difficult to score a goal, but there are a lot of goals conceded. Under such circumstances, it is of course very difficult to win!

And in this game, although they only narrowly beat their opponents, they had an advantage on the field from beginning to end. Several important offensive players played well from beginning to end, and they were not explosive performances, but Normal performance under appropriate tactics, such performance is more stable and easier to appear.

"Win this game, now is also a critical period!"

Before the away game against Southampton, Klopp waved his fists and shouted in the locker room. This game is the focus of this round of the Premier League and was scheduled to be played in the last game. Teams have won - Arsenal Manchester United Manchester City Chelsea have won, only Tottenham have lost the chain again, they were drawn at home by West Ham United.

Under such circumstances, the away game against Southampton has become a game that must be won-only if you win can you catch up with the top few, and only if you win can you surpass the Heat in terms of ranking and points. prick!

Originally, the competition for the top four this year was very fierce, because Southampton's performance this season has become quite outstanding again. Under such circumstances, if they can't win in some key games, then the hope of the top four , it will appear extremely slim!
Of course, Southampton is definitely not playing well this season.

When there is no financial problem, Southampton's performance has never been bad, because they have an excellent youth training system. As long as there is no financial problem, they will not sell at a low price, and the seller can sell When the price is high, they can retain some outstanding players while waiting for young players to emerge quickly. This is a very effective virtuous circle.

What a team with excellent youth training is most afraid of is a broken capital chain. In such a situation, you absolutely cannot rely on salary to retain good players. The opponent will introduce your players at a relatively low price. Even if talented young players appear, they also lack a large number of shelters in the process of growing up, and the possibility of dying halfway is very high.

And if there is no financial problem, you can selectively sell people, at least at a high enough price-obviously, Southampton is now in such a virtuous circle, even if the remaining players want to Even if you leave, you have to perform well to fight for a better status.

Such a team is not easy to play.

The game has been extremely intense from the very beginning. Southampton must win this game. They have been surpassed by Arsenal and slipped to No.5. Only by winning can they return to the fourth position.

Although fourth and fifth are just one step away, at the end of the season, that is the difference between the Champions League and the Europa League.

After the UEFA Champions League group stage, at least 5000 million euros will be in the bag steadily, and the Europa League won the championship and the income is only 4000 million euros. This is because the Europa League bonuses have increased significantly. all clear.

Now Southampton's midfield is their Serbian attacking midfielder Taltic, whose running and attacking caused a lot of trouble for Liverpool's defense, until Helder gave up protecting the back line to mark him himself After that, the player was less active, but in this case, the other Southampton players got a lot more opportunities.

The two sides are constantly scrambling and attacking back and forth on the field, trying to tear apart the opponent's line of defense so that their own line of defense will not be torn apart.

Bu Qingyun doesn't seem to be conspicuous in this kind of back and forth attack. He just occasionally takes the ball, then distributes the ball, and gives the ball to a few active teammates in the frontcourt to attack, but he can distribute the ball immediately. It is already a very important thing. Liverpool's frontcourt attackers have no worries, and their offensive ability can be well displayed.

This stalemate continued until the end of the first half.

Cuneo showed his value in such a situation. After receiving the ball from Bu Qingyun, he started to take the ball from the side. Bu Qingyun's lateral running attracted part of the attention of the opponent's defense. The ball cuts in horizontally, and after throwing off a defender, he decisively kicks a long shot around the top of the penalty area!
The ball roared and flew towards the dead corner of the goal. Although Southampton's goalkeeper responded, the ball drew a beautiful arc in the air, bypassing his outstretched hand, and hit the dead corner of the goal!
One to zero!Liverpool took the lead away!

The goal before the end of the first half made the second half more intense.

The two sides entangled again and both got some chances, but both failed to score under the desperate interception of the defensive players on both sides. Until No. 207 minutes in the second half, another Brazilian player of Liverpool sealed the victory.

Bu Qingyun gave the ball to Marne in midfield, and Marne sent a long pass directly. Facing the goalkeeper after filling in the last defender, Ferno calmly pushed the far corner and succeeded!
Two to zero, Liverpool established the victory!

When the final whistle sounded, the Southampton fans could only helplessly look at the cheering and jumping Liverpool players in the field.

After losing this crucial game, Southampton fell out of the top four for the first time this season!

For Southampton, who lacks background and stamina, such a loss will be difficult to make up for.

And Liverpool, relying on the victory of this game, began to officially sprint for the top four!
Beyond Tottenham, came to the sixth position, one point away from fifth place Southampton, three points away from fourth place Arsenal, four points away from third place Manchester United...

Of course, with Chelsea and Manchester United who are tied for first place, Liverpool's score has not narrowed, and it is still [-] points. The performance of these two teams this year is indeed outstanding.

Catching up with the top two, the current Liverpool dare not think about it, but it is not a problem for the current Liverpool to break the wrist with three four five!

"I am very happy that the players have won such a difficult game. This is of great help to us in the top four. Cuneo and Ferno? They have always been solid shoulders for Liverpool. Recently they The goals started to recover, and we started to win continuously. Bu Qingyun? An assist, an instigation, he is an important player for Liverpool. He brought us the best change, such a change, is our recent achievement The key to getting better."

At the press conference after the game, Klopp was very happy to say that the consecutive defeats of the teams ranked above him proved that Liverpool had begun to return to their normal state. As one of the strong teams in the Premier League, they , as long as they can play their normal level, they will be strong contenders for the top four.

The poor start of this season has made Klopp no ​​longer expect to win any championships. However, if he can enter the Champions League next season, this season is not considered a failure!
As Klopp said, the joining of Bu Qingyun is the key factor that brought about all this. Although no one would think that he is already the most important player in Liverpool, after he joined, Liverpool has indeed undergone tremendous changes!
Starting from the No.20 round, in the seven rounds of the league, Liverpool had five wins and two draws. Considering that they only won eight games in the entire first cycle, the results of these seven games can be described as extremely good.

"In the next round of the league, Liverpool will face Manchester City at home. Do you have anything to say about this game?"

A reporter asked a somewhat unpleasant question.

Klopp froze for a moment, then smiled.

"There is nothing to comment on the game after a week, but now our state has fully recovered. At Anfield, we have the ability to make all the incoming enemies lose at our feet! Don't forget, after the New Year, We are an undefeated team."

Klopp knew very well that for three consecutive fierce battles, the biggest opponent was undoubtedly the next opponent, Manchester City!

Now Liverpool has a good momentum, but they have encountered a team like Manchester City. Obviously, this is not a very good schedule.

This will also be the strongest opponent Bu Qingyun has encountered since he came to England.
