The night before the Liverpool-Ludogorets match, Jiang invited the coaches and players of the Liverpool team, as well as their girlfriends, wives and children to his home for a party to make up for the wedding dinner for his teammates who were not able to attend his wedding.

The villa where Jiang Chenxi lives now is rented, and the annual rent is 250,000 pounds, Jiang Chenxi and Su Xun are very satisfied with this mansion and are considering whether to buy it.

The English media reported the party, and in the words of the media, the Chinese star reflected his appeal at Liverpool, and the whole team was very enthusiastic, everyone was lively and happy.

……

A day later.

Anfield Stadium, Liverpool vs Ludogorets, Liverpool's European 'debut' after four years.

The game began for nearly forty minutes, and the game was intense.

Liverpool's offensive at home is very strong, but Ludogorets is also very accurate in his positioning, that is, defensive counterattack, to be able to get a draw is a victory, if you can sneak attack and take away a victory, it is simply a gift from God.

Ludogorets is almost the whole team back to the defense, and will not press out easily, even when counterattacking, he will pay extra attention to his own backline, and will definitely keep enough defenders in the backfield. Delmenkiev was very cautious and very pragmatic.

It may be difficult for Ludogorets to make it out of the group, but it is clear that the Croatian side still have dreams. In Delmenkiev's view, Ludogorets wants to qualify, Liverpool is the most direct opponent, his setting is that the team can draw Liverpool away from home, strive to win at home, and then win Basel as much as possible in two legs, as for the two-legged match with Real Madrid, it is acceptable to get a draw at home, even if it is a small loss, and then it is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, watching Liverpool and Real Madrid fight.

Who says salted fish don't have dreams?

George. Delmenkiev dared to think and do!

……

Judging from the odds offered by the bookmaker before the game, although Liverpool is favored, but the advantage is not obvious, the Premier League with Aston Villa just ended, Liverpool's performance is not flattering, and the English media are also worried that Liverpool will continue to play in the league slump.

As for Ludogorec, they are the best in the Croatian league, and the Croatian Football Association has also specially adjusted the league schedule and postponed the league that was supposed to be played last weekend, just to ensure that Ludogorets can have enough fitness and Liverpool shopping!

George. Delmenkiev carefully studied the video of Liverpool's game, especially Liverpool's 0-1 loss to Aston Villa in the last round of the league, and he came to the conclusion that in fact, his team is not much worse than the home team Liverpool, and the biggest gap is that Ludogorets does not have a super scorer like Jiang Chenxi!

Yes, George. Delmenkiev thinks that his team is in good shape now, and the gap with Liverpool is a gap between Jiang Chenxi!

What's more, the most made George. Delmenkiev is happy that his judgment is correct, Jiang Chenxi, who has just returned to Liverpool from a wedding in China, obviously has problems with both state and physical fitness, which can be seen from Jiang Chenxi now sitting on the bench, if the Chinese are in good shape, how can Klopp put such a powerful player on the bench?!

Therefore, Ludogoretz's task now is very clear, that is, not to let Liverpool score, to maintain a draw before Jiang Chenxi plays, and even look forward to the opportunity to sneak attack, in that case, even if Jiang Chenxi may come on as a substitute in the second half of the game, then Ludogorets who fully retracts the defense is not afraid!

Moreover, even if Jiang Chenxi came off the bench, George. Delmenkiev was also prepared, and the solution he came up with was: the key to defending Jiang Chenxi is not Jiang Chenxi, but on other Liverpool players, to curb the performance of the whole Liverpool team, the threat of a tired Jiang Chenxi will be greatly reduced!

……

And offensively, to be precise in counterattacking, coach Ludogorets also has his own wishful thinking.

Liverpool's two central defenders, Lovren and Sako, are both tall types, while Ludogorets' attacking players are not dominant in height, but they are short, flexible, and fast, and they still have a chance to sneak up behind Liverpool.

In particular, Sako, the French defender, who started for the first time today, and Lovren's cooperation is obviously not tacit enough, and he is relatively immature, this is all Ludogoretz's chance!

Klopp's brow furrowed.

In the pre-match warm-up, Colo Toure suffered a muscle strain, and he had to send on Sacco, however, the Frenchman's reticle could not satisfy him, and Ludogorets limited one or two counterattacks, both of which were played by Saco, and the Frenchman was a little embarrassed.

Forty-three minutes into the game, Liverpool's corner kick opportunity.

Philippe Coutinho takes a tactical corner.

Balotelli pulled out of the box to meet and tried to get past Ludogorets defender Minev, only to be cut off from the side by the opposing captain, Diakov.

Balotelli fell to the ground, spreading his hands and complaining to the referee about the foul.

The referee ignored it, he was running because Ludogorets attacked as soon as he broke the ball.

……

Ludogorets immediately launched a quick counter-attack.

They didn't have much power to attack, but they were able to push forward quickly, passing the half with three passes and two kicks.

In the face of the fast Ludogorets striker Bejako, Sacko recklessly stepped up, but was changed by the opponent, Lovren made up the defense, Bejako crossed, and the follow-up Ludogorets midfielder Missidjan missed the ball beautifully.

Then it was seen that at the back post, Ludogorets striker Nasentu fired a low shot.

Liverpool goalkeeper Mignolet stretched his leg to block it, but despite touching the football, it was unable to stop the ball from flying into the net.

1 to 0!

In the first 44 minutes of the first half, Liverpool had a whopping 64 per cent possession, with eleven shots on goal but none of them scored. And the away team Ludogorets only counterattacked three times, two shots on goal, but took a one-goal lead!

Watching the Ludogorets players hug each other and cheer wildly, the Anfield stadium boos shook the sky.

"One to zero! Ludogorets, who were playing away, took the lead, a beautiful counterattack! Sako was passed too easily, and Liverpool's defence was directly torn apart. ”

"Zero to one! Liverpool are behind! The Croatian team celebrated wildly at Anfield as their head coach George Brown. Delmenkiev said before the game that they came to Anfield with ideas in mind, and now his team has given Liverpool a slap in the face! ”

……

Ludogorets head coach George Murphy who appears on camera. Delmenkiev celebrated a little frantically, he jumped three feet high, and then ran wildly, running past Klopp's side, Klopp's face was pale.

The camera then gave Liverpool the bench and locked on Jiang Chenxi......

"Jiang Chenxi is very tired, obviously, Klopp put Jiang Chenxi on the bench, if Liverpool can score, and take a big lead, lock the win, Klopp can let Jiang Chenxi continue to stay on the bench to rest, no need to play, but now before the end of the first half, Ludogorets actually took the lead, and in the second half of the game, Jiang Chenxi had to play!" He Wei said, "Ludogorets is not letting Jiang Chenxi rest!" ”

On the field, Ludogorets head coach George. Delmenkiev glanced at Liverpool's bench, with this ball in hand, that is, Liverpool sent Chinese in the second half, and he was not afraid.

He didn't believe that Jiang Chenxi, who had traveled a long distance and was exhausted, could still do what Ludogoretz could do.

George. Delmenkiev shook his fist hard, smiling, and the feeling of having everything under control was good.
