On the afternoon of August 29th.

There was a dark cloud over Anfield.

However, England fans have long been accustomed to this kind of weather, even if it is goose feathers and snow, it is difficult to stop their enthusiasm for cheering for the team, let alone just a little cloud?

“…… Reds Liverpool host fourth-round opponents, Hammers and West Ham United. ”

Zhan Tianjun began to introduce the situation of the game early:

"These two teams have one thing in common, and that is that they also beat Arsenal in the previous league ......"

As soon as his words fell, Zhang Lu next to him couldn't help laughing:

"Hehe, Wenger is having a hard time!"

Zhan Tianjun also smiled:

"Looking at the head-to-head record between Liverpool and West Ham United, the last time the Reds lost to their opponents on their home turf was 52 years ago, and they occupy an absolute dominant position in the historical encounters, with 14 wins and 5 draws without a defeat, plus all the big wins in the first three rounds, Liverpool's soldiers may also be full of confidence psychologically."

Zhang Lu raised his glasses:

"I just looked at the starting line-up and it looks like you're on the bench?"

"That's right, he just participated in the draw for the Champions League, and he also presented the best player trophy last season to Messi as a guest, flying back and forth for seven or eight hours, and Rodgers did not put him in the starting lineup, which is also more humane."

Zhan Tianjun explained:

"But today Liverpool is on their home turf, and the opponent is not a traditional strong team, even if Long Shute can't play, it shouldn't be a big problem to win the Hammers."

Zhang Lu also smiled:

"Hey, yes, Liverpool are quite strong at home, and Anfield is one of the most famous devil home stadiums in football."

-

But just two minutes later, the "most famous devil's home stadium in football" suddenly fell silent.

It was just a seemingly non-threatening attack from West Ham.

In the 2nd minute and 36 seconds, Payet advanced with the ball, the home team's defense retreated as a whole, and the Frenchman hoisted the ball from the right to the penalty area, which was cleared by Skrtel's header.

The 25-year-old, who was born in Liverpool, picked up his right leg and fired a shot that was unprepared and flew straight to the corner flag on the right......

Just as the football flew to the corner flag, his teammate Lanzini appeared in the middle of the road, just a slight touch of his toes, the ball was obviously refracted and flew directly into the unguarded gate!

"In the opening less than 3 minutes, West Ham United dominated the game! A seemingly tacit attack, but it was just like this! ”

Although Zhan Tianjun didn't want to believe his eyes, the score that had just changed on the screen clearly told him that the team he supported had conceded a goal!

Zhang Lu also said "ah":

"This is football, although we analyze it very well, it is impossible to predict everything, there are always accidents on the football field......"

-

Rodgers, who was sitting in the dugout, was a little annoyed, but he didn't show much dissatisfaction.

This kind of accident happens almost every day, and if he has to be angry every time, he will be angry when he failed to win the championship two seasons ago......

Rodgers just waved his hand and motioned for the players on the field to continue the game at a pace, and he didn't even lift his butt.

Long Shute was not worried.

Liverpool have 87 minutes left, not to mention that he is available at any time.

As long as he is out of the field, one concedes a goal...... What is it?!

-

Perhaps it was the presence of Lonshit that emboldened the Liverpool players, who did not appear to be anxious to get back on the scoresheet after conceding the goal, but patiently tried to open up the situation through combination.

They and West Ham United are like turn-based RPGs, you go back and forth, and although the pace of both sides is not slow, and the number of shots on goal is not a lot, but the process of the game is not exciting at all.

Until...... The first 30 minutes are coming to an end.

It was another attack from West Ham, with Liverpool defending so tightly down the middle that they didn't have a chance and had to play a long ball to try to lob behind them.

The ball flew from the middle to the wing, and the centre-back Lovren, who had predicted the landing point in advance, slapped out of the penalty area, rushed to the corner flag to control the ball on the ground, and used his strong body to jam the position, squeezing Lanzini behind him, who was trying to press.

It was a very successful defence and all that was left was to pass the ball to the receiving team-mate, or if it didn't feel safe, you could kick it out of the touchline, give them a throw-in, or send a corner.

But Lovren didn't do that, he made the choice to let the head coach scold his mother!

He flicked the ball sideways and began to dribble towards the middle of the line against the baseline!

No one knows what exactly he was thinking at this moment!

Goalkeeper Mignolet watched his teammate go from safety to his own defensive zone, his eyes half doubtful, half fearful!

You Lovren, the big-eyed guy...... Is it a traitor?!

"Don't come here! I'm going to call someone again! ”

Mignolet was just about to roar when he saw a garlic stir at Lovren's feet!

He's big!

Mignolet was by him!

You TMD took a total of two shots, and Lanzini didn't press closely...... Why is it so big?!

Lanzini, who was already about to retreat, sped up and dribbled in before Lovren could react, and then found a teammate who was also ambushed at the top of the penalty area with an inverted triangle pass in front of Mignolet.

With Lovren still in the corner flag area, Liverpool are left with Mignolet and Skrtel in the middle of the penalty area, and ...... Their rhythm has long been completely disrupted by their own teammates!

When West Ham's Noble calmly kicked a low shot, Mignolet could only look at the football - coach, this is not my pot!

-

FUXXXXXXK！

Rogers kicked the mineral water bottle in front of him!

Why do you all like postbacks?!

Do you want to be?!

-

The 0-2 scoreline was brought into the dressing room.

Without Rodgers having to speak, the players lowered their heads one by one.

But Rogers still had to speak:

"I'm skeptical that some people have been doing something in the last week, are the players I see on the training pitch every day and you being twin brothers? Why didn't you even recognize your mom today?! ”

The players' heads were lowered even more.

Rogers directly criticized by name:

'Philippe, this is your 100th Premier League game for Liverpool, right? Can you tell me what else you did other than that yellow card at the last moment? ”

Coutinho grinned and showed an extremely ugly expression.

He is not actually a player who likes to express emotions directly with his voice, his personality is relatively low-key and dull, and he does not like to hang out in entertainment venues such as nightclubs like other Brazilian players, and his personal life is more disciplined.

His psychological quality is actually very good, otherwise during his many years in Liverpool, he would not have used long-range shots to turn the tide many times; But in other occasions when he was needed to step up, he often disappeared.

"Coach, there's no need to blame everyone."

Long Shute coughed:

"Don't feel pressure, I'll be with you in the second half, and we'll complete this reversal!"

-

What Lonshette didn't notice was that while his statement took the pressure off many of his teammates, it also made Coutinho's expression even more unnatural.

With Suarez and Raheem Sterling leaving, Steven Gerrard leaving the United States, Sturridge being bedridden for a long time, and Henderson being unproductive, Coutinho was actually the heart of Liverpool's attack, but the arrival of Lonsert unceremoniously snatched that position from him.

Facing the dragon boss with three golden balls in his hand and backed by Chinese capital, Coutinho couldn't even complain.

He wasn't dissatisfied with it, but he inevitably had some complaints in his heart.

After all, most people aspire to be the leader of their team when they are young.

The presence of Longshute has brought pressure to him, but also motivation.

Therefore, Coutinho was more active in the second half.

He naturally fought for the lead when attacking, even in the defense that he was not good at, and even retreated to the edge of the box to act as a midfielder, as Long Shut usually does......

But he may have forgotten that he doesn't have the physicality of Lonshit, and he doesn't have the defensive experience of Lonshette.

Therefore, when in the 58th minute, Payet made a dashing Marseille maneuver in front of him, the meritorious Coutinho directly knocked the opponent to the ground with a sliding tackle!

"Drop!"

A shrill whistle echoed over Anfield.

The referee walked quickly in front of Coutinho and showed a second yellow card without hesitation!

Two yellows turn into one red!

Long Shute, who was warming up on the sidelines, couldn't help but stay where he was.

Rogers kicked the second bottle of mineral water away!

Lao Tzu knows...... This world is not so naïve and friendly!

God...... Never smile at you continuously!

My name is ...... Marco Joseph Massimiliano Rogers.

Van Basten, Heynckes and Allegri are possessed by their souls at this moment!

Now, it's my turn to fight wits and courage with God.
