I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

Chapter 427: The Strongest Showdown

The atmosphere in the locker room was a bit dull. Liverpool should play the main role in this game. This is what Klopp has already explained. He has been practicing defensive counterattack tactics for the past few days.

It's just that many Liverpool players have opinions on Klopp's tactical arrangement. Klopp's tactics are too conservative.

"Do you understand what I just said?" Klopp asked.

Everyone shook their heads. Anyway, Klopp is the head coach. Since he has made an arrangement, even if the players have thoughts in their hearts, they can only obey.

Of course, if Klopp's tactics work and the result is good, then everything is fine. If you lose, or even lose ugly, this is the hidden danger of chaos in Liverpool's dressing room.

For a head coach, if he can lead the team to win all the time, prestige comes naturally, and everything he says is right. But when the team is in a bad situation, the prestige of the head coach will be questioned, especially when there are differences between some of his arrangements and the ideas of some players. Once the results are poor, this difference will be infinitely magnified.

………………

A staff member knocked on the door, indicating that it was time to get ready to play.

"Go ahead, this game, we're fighting for the dignity of Liverpool."

"We must not lose!" Klopp said finally.

Henderson frowned, and he opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't speak in the end.

"The coach is too conservative," Salah told Henderson on the way to the tunnel.

"Not only conservative, but the coach seems to lack confidence." Mane also said.

"Okay, stop talking." Henderson waved his hand to stop his teammates, and said seriously, "Everyone must work hard in this game! We can't let Liverpool's glory be lost on us, especially when the opponent is still ours. Rivalry Manchester United!"

"If we lose, then we are the sinners of Liverpool and will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history!"

Although he also has a lot of dissatisfaction with Klopp, as the captain of the team, the battle is about to start, and Henderson doesn't want to disturb the morale of the army.

Originally, Liverpool's strength was not as good as Manchester United's. At this time, everyone must twist into one rope, think in one place, and work hard in one place, so that it is possible to defeat the mighty Manchester United.

………………

"This is the 2017-2018 Champions League final,

From the Premier League's Red Devils Manchester United against the Red Army Liverpool. Before that, the two teams each won 5 Champions League titles, so whoever wins the Champions League trophy will overwhelm their opponents. This game has attracted the attention of fans in England. "

"We can see that the Olympic Stadium in Kiev is full..."

"Before the game, on Liverpool's side, Klopp expressed his confidence in winning this game many times." Lineker said, "On the contrary, Yesu did not respond much to Klopp's remarks."

"The match between Manchester United and Liverpool is about to start. Players from both sides have already entered the field. Let's take a look at the starting rosters of both sides." CCTV broadcast the match live, and Zhan Jun's voice appeared on the TVs of thousands of households.

"For Liverpool, the goalkeeper is Karius, the defense line from left to right is Robertson, the Senegalese central defender, Lindelof and Alexander-Arnold. The midfielder is Milner, Henderson and Wijnaldum. The striker It is no surprise that the dream combination of Mane, Firmino and Salah. The three of them have scored in double figures in the Premier League this season, scoring a total of 55 goals, which is the most among all Premier League striker combinations And their performance in the Champions League is even more surprising. Salah and Firmino scored 11 goals respectively, tied for second place in the scorer list, and Mane also scored 9 goals. The total number of goals scored by the three is as high as 31 goals , This is a very scary number!"

"Manchester United is also the main force. The goalkeeper is the teenager Dean Henderson, the back four are Luke Shaw, Maguire, Van Dijk and Valencia, and the midfield trio is Kante. De Bruyne and Bruno Fernandez, the striker trident is a combination of Rooney, Harry Kane and Vardy. This combination has performed equally well this season, scoring a total of 51 goals, second only to Liverpool They also performed well in the Champions League, Rooney scored 10 goals, ranking fourth in the scorer list, Kane and Vardy scored 8 goals and 4 goals respectively."

………………

After Zhan Jun finished introducing the starting lineups of the two sides, the game had already started for two minutes.

Kanter made a sliding tackle and shoveled the football out of the sideline. In order to avoid the tackle, Salah jumped up and almost hit the billboard, and jumped over to avoid it.

Taking advantage of this dead ball, Ye Su whistled on the sidelines, and then called the team captain Rooney's name. After Rooney ran over, he put his arms around the little fat man's neck and muttered a few words.

Rooney ran back to the field, found Vardy again, covered his mouth and muttered something.

The game continues.

Klopp frowned. He predicted that Manchester United would play a defensive counterattack in this game, but after the game started, he found that his prediction was wrong: Manchester United was not conservative, and they pressed out to attack from the first second of the game.

Manchester United kicked off first. They didn't even try to test it, and they went straight up and fucked hard, which made Liverpool, who was not ready, uncomfortable.

More than ten minutes into the game, Klopp noticed that Manchester United had been attacking Liverpool's right, that is, the teenager Arnold's side.

Arnold is a rising superstar in the Premier League this season. Today's Champions League final is the 33rd game that the right back, who is not yet 20 years old, has played for Liverpool this season. From this we can also see his importance in Liverpool. sex.

However, facing the joint attack of Vardy, a powerful winger, and Luke Shaw, who is known as the world's number one left back, Arnold was obviously a little tired and embarrassed.

Liverpool's midfielder Wijnaldum and even the Senegalese central defender had to frequently help Arnold defend.

………………

Klopp has been standing on the sidelines, he is flustered, he is worried that Manchester United's next attack, or even the next second, Liverpool's right will be pierced.

At this time, Manchester United's offensive came again. Vardy and Bruno Fernandez got the ball after a pass and cut.

Arnold jumped up to defend, and Wijnaldum went to fill the position after Arnold came up.

Facing the experienced, fast, and explosive old monster Vardy, Arnold dared not take the first step, and he kept staring at Vardy's feet as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

Meanwhile, the Senegalese centre-back was also protecting the flanks, ready to help Arnold.

Vardy's left foot pulls the football to his right foot, and suddenly his right foot pulls the football to his left foot, while leaning forward.

Is this about to break through?

Arnold immediately made a defensive move.

"Where's the ball?" Then the young Liverpool right-back noticed the football was missing.

………………

"Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful heel kick, beautiful transfer of the ball! Bruno Fernandez's diagonal pass, Luke Shaw takes the ball, Liverpool's right is empty!" Lineker suddenly shouted.

Vardy made a gesture to break through, but he kicked with his heel. With a deft and concealed heel strike, the ball was passed to Bruno Fernandes.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Portuguese midfielder took advantage of Liverpool's defense leaning heavily to the right and diverted the ball to the other side.

At this time, Liverpool's defensive attention was attracted by Vardy's assault, and they involuntarily tilted to this side, but a large gap was exposed on the left.

Rooney received a pass from Bruno Fernandez, knocked the ball forward directly, dribbled the ball forward quickly, and when approaching the penalty area, he made a gesture to cut inside.

Liverpool left-back Robertson, who has been fighting and retreating to mark Rooney and did not dare to shoot blindly, has no way to retreat at this time. If he does not intercept, Rooney will enter the penalty area.

Robertson made an interception.

………………

The moment Robertson kicked out, Rooney pushed the arch of his foot, and the football rolled past Robertson's feet.

Robertson was shocked and turned to chase, but he happened to collide with Lindelof who was filling in, and the two fell to the ground together.

Harry Kane had just received the ball and was thinking about how to get past Lindelof. He dodged the angle of the shot and saw two Liverpool defenders collided and fell down.

He was taken aback, but his feet were not slow. He directly touched the ball to avoid the two people, and then when Liverpool goalkeeper Karius was still a little confused, he volleyed and shot successfully.

In the fifteenth minute of the game, Manchester United scored a goal from Harry Kane, and they led Liverpool 1-0.

Harry Kane, who scored the goal, ran to the captain who gave him an assist, and gave Rooney a high-five to celebrate. More Manchester United players came around to cheer and celebrate the goal.

The Manchester United players celebrated on the field, and Ye Su also jumped up and down with his hands up like a monkey. Not far away, Liverpool coach Klopp has a pale face.

Losing the ball is something he doesn't want to see, especially this way of losing the ball due to his own mistakes.

Klopp could see clearly that if Robertson hadn't knocked down his teammate Lindelof in a hurry, Harry Kane would not have gotten such a good unguarded shot.

This is a big gift package from my side!

"Mistake! Andrew Robertson made a mistake, he knocked Victor Lindelof down, Harry Kane scored, Manchester United laughed at Liverpool's error package."

"This conceded goal, Liverpool's own mistakes are one of the reasons, but we must also see that Manchester United's counterattack was wonderfully coordinated. The attack was launched from the left. Vardy's breakthrough alone attracted three Liverpool players. , his heel knock was the highlight, Bruno Fernandez split the ball quickly, Rooney's breakthrough pass, Harry Kane's shot, the whole counter-attack process was very clear and very fast!"
