Chapter 114: Season Double Kill

"In the 83rd minute of the second half, Manchester United overtook the score!! Now the pressure is on Klopp!! ”

"If he is beaten by Liverpool in the season, and the two sides are down by a big score in the first leg, it will be difficult for Klopp to explain to the Liverpool fans."

Klopp was feeling a lot of pressure at this time. The two-goal lead in this game was overtaken by Manchester United, not to mention that Liverpool fans did not accept such an ending, and even he himself was difficult to accept.

Equally difficult to accept were Liverpool's players, with Mignolet lying on the grass with his head buried under his arm as the United players celebrated.

Matip, who had just been defending Li Qingshan, angrily kicked the post of the goal, as if complaining that the post did not contribute to Liverpool's defense.....

The rest of the Liverpool players didn't look much better. Sturridge's face was gloomy, and of course, as a black man, not many people could notice that he was even black.

He didn't get the ball much in this game because most of the time it was United who were attacking with the ball.

'Manchester United came back from two goals down and you might be surprised if you just look at the alternating scoreline, but when you look at the stats so far, you won't be surprised.

"Possession, Manchester United 76 per cent against Liverpool 24 per cent, shots, Manchester United 18 shots, eight shots on goal, and one header hit the crossbar, while Liverpool so far only have four shots, two shots, passes Manchester United 526 times against Liverpool 229 times, foul Manchester United 7 fouls, Liverpool 13 fouls! It's almost a crushing stat comparison, Manchester United is playing a lower league team, unbridled reactionary attack! Andy Gray criticized in the commentary box, "Klopp is too conservative in this game! ”

"Maybe he was scared by the score when the two sides played each other two months ago....."

Commentators have been critical of Klopp's tactical choices.

That's the case with competitive football, and if Klopp is lucky, they keep the two-goal advantage until the end of the game, and it is expected that Klopp will be touted after the game. Unfortunately, Liverpool apparently failed to do so, and they were greeted by an overwhelming stream of criticism.

Klopp rubbed his face, there was only one way in front of him now.

That is, he has to score, at least, he can't be beaten by Manchester United again!!

For Liverpool, it's either to win the title or beat Manchester United. These two must always account for one, otherwise, Liverpool fans will definitely not accept it.

At this time, a hand was placed on Klopp's shoulder.

He turned around and saw that it was his assistant, assistant coach Zigello Bovac, who had been working with him for sixteen years.

"You're too afraid of him, Jurgen!"

Bwach said softly.

The voice exploded in Klopp's ears.

He looked at Li Qingshan, who had finished celebrating and was waving his fist in response to the fans at the scene.

yes, I'm too scared of him.

So much so that I've been playing in the way I'm least good at, in the way Liverpool is least good at.

How can you be undefeated!

It's ridiculous that he actually told the players not to be afraid, in fact, he is the most afraid of the opponent in his heart.

Klopp understood. He played as a striker when he was a professional player, but his career was not very successful, especially compared to Li Qingshan, it was simply a heaven and an earth, and it was completely incomparable.

In Klopp's own words, he was a second-rate striker with first-class awareness and third-rate physicality when he played.

Maybe deep down, I am full of envy for a super-first-class striker like Li Qingshan...

"Origi, go warm up!!"

Klopp didn't hesitate any longer, and he was immediately ready to make a substitution.

There are still a few minutes left in the game and he has now decided to focus on me!!

Origi quickly warmed up and came to Klopp's side.

Klopp was talking to Origi's ear.

Jurgen Klopp wasn't trying to attack with all or nothing – the consequences of that he had already seen the last time the two sides met. But now Liverpool need to attack, rather than passively waiting for the opponent to make a mistake and then play a counter-attack.

"High pressing!! Let's run!! Pick up the tempo of the midfield!! ”

Origi nodded and stared at the field, he couldn't wait to get on the field.

However, at this time, a scene on the field made Klopp curse secretly, and even the work of explaining tactics stopped.

Sturridge sat on the grass with his lap clutched.

"Looks like Sturridge is injured again!!"

'The Liverpool striker has only just recovered from injury and the game is not over yet, so it seems that he can't hold on anymore.

The referee stopped the game, and Liverpool's team doctor rushed into the field.

Sturridge tried to get Rojo's ball, but Rojo passed the ball and Sturridge made a save, perhaps because his thigh muscles reacted when he stopped to change direction.....

The team doctor made a gesture on the pitch, which made Klopp completely unbearable.

Damn it!!

He had intended to bring on Divock Origi and replace Wijnaldum, then bring Coutinho up and revert to a front three in an attempt to organise an attacking campaign.

But now Sturridge's injury has completely disrupted his set-up, and now he has to replace Sturridge with Origi.

Sturridge limped off the pitch with the help of the team doctor.

After the resumption of the game, Liverpool's side wanted to launch an attack, but Manchester United firmly controlled the situation on the pitch and did not give Liverpool any chance.

Towards the end of the game, United were still trying to control the ball in central midfield, while Liverpool were already starting to get a little anxious.

In the 89th minute, Milner brought down Juan Mata on the wing and received a yellow card for the second chapter of the game and was sent off the field.

The red card completely dashed Liverpool's ambitions to fight back.

Three minutes of stoppage time passed quickly, and referee Atkinson waited until Liverpool's last shot to fire an anti-aircraft gun before blowing the whistle for the end of the game!!

"The game is over!! With Li Qingshan's hat-trick, Manchester United reversed Liverpool at home and completed the season double against their sworn enemy!! ”

The camera's lens is firmly locked on Li Qingshan, who is undoubtedly the best in the game.

Jurgen Klopp, on the other hand, turned and walked into the dressing room.
