Starting with Thursday's League Cup, Leicester city have been hit in a row. In the League Cup knockout match with Liverpool, Leicester City once led by 2 goals and once led 3-1, but because of Takushi Minamino's goal, he was dragged into the penalty shootout, and as a result, Leicester City lost in the penalty shootout and was eliminated. Such a plot is too cruel for Leicester City. To make matters worse, in the ensuing match against Manchester City, Leicester City were doused with six goals and lost 3-6. And three days after losing to Manchester City, Leicester City played Liverpool again, this time in league matches. Not many people were optimistic that the exhausted and wounded Leicester City would get points, let alone win. As a result, Leicester City played very tough, won the game hard, completed the revenge against Liverpool, very incredible, Rogers God, it was a great 1-0.
It's extremely difficult for any team to beat Liverpool, even a big team like Manchester City and Chelsea. A team of Leicester City's level to play against Liverpool does not have much choice at the tactical level, nothing more than a low-post defense, waiting for the opportunity to create opportunities to counterattack by improving the offensive and defensive conversion rhythms, or using the opportunity of set-pieces to see if it can break the goal. Leicester City's goal was an opportunity brought by the acceleration of the midfield pass. Liverpool's hole was not very big at the time, but Lukeman's ability to seize opportunities was very strong, and when facing the bag, he adjusted the shot in one go. It was also Leicester's only shot on target, and Alisson was a little embarrassed.
Defensively, Leicester City didn't do as well as the score in this game, as it gave Salah a chance to take a penalty and also gave Mane a chance to single-handedly. In other words, Leicester City can not concede a goal, and the luck is also quite good. Of course, a game in which the weak wins the strong is always a factor of luck. However, Schmeichel, who has performed steadily, is also the key to Leicester City's ability to save the goal. Rodgers raved Schmeichel's performance, saying he was a top goalkeeper and one of the best goalkeepers in Europe.
Klopp did no worse at the beginning of the game than Rogers, but Rogers beat Klopp in terms of on-the-spot adjustments. Rodgers didn't simply let the team defend, he changed, he replaced Tillermans and Lukeman in the 56th minute to make the team more aggressive on the offensive end and try to score goals. As a result, Rogers succeeded, and Lukeman, who came off the bench, completed the task. Klopp's three substitutions didn't work, and Keita, Milner and Firmino didn't give the team a qualitative boost after they played.
