I haven't written a picture for a long time, but after carefully watching the Newcastle home game against The Reds Liverpool in the 35th round of the Premier League, it really makes people sigh: the current Liverpool team is too powerful! Strong to a little crazy feeling! Look at the way Keita scored in the first half, as if blending into no man's land. They are really strong, but they also have weaknesses!
Starting lineup: Because of self-confidence, switch freely
Uncle Klopp
Why are people crazy? It's because of the confidence in the heart. Such self-confidence stems from the accumulation of reality and from the strength of opponents. In this game, against the "new local tycoons", against Newcastle, who are unbeaten in 7 unbeaten league games (6 wins and 1 draw), Klopp is still strong enough to make a big rotation.
Salah
In the starting lineup, Firmino, Salah, Fabinho, Ciago and Arnold all put on the bench to replace Jorta, Díaz, Milner and Keita. You know, the Premier League is still in a serious situation, Liverpool want to overtake in a corner, they must ensure that every game must be won, but also need to expect Manchester City to make mistakes, so they have no room to make mistakes, but even so, Klopp is still bold in the rotation. Even if the opponent's home record is red.
Because of his confidence! Even more because of his madness!
On the one hand, he believes in his own strength, on the other hand, he is still planning the second leg of the Champions League next week, although in the first leg, Liverpool led Villarreal 2-0, but he still hoards heavy troops, maintains physical strength, guarantees that nothing is lost, Kloppzhi is not only in the league to keep chasing, the Champions League, he is also eager to continue to climb to the top!
Keita succeeded Salah and Jota docked with Firmino
Keita
To say, Klopp's confidence is for a reason. Keita, a midfielder, but he has the dexterity, dribbling and scoring skills of striker Salah.
Keita scored the process
Look at Keita's scoring process, 2 over 1 kicking the wall, then running position, passing the ball, wading past the goalkeeper, shooting and scoring! People are just confident! Confident to "no one in sight", confident to "no one can stop" such a practice, like Salah!
Jota's header hit the goal
Ruota is really powerful, hard to break up the "Red Army Trident" that once caused headaches, this brother is not tall, but the ability to score headers is really amazing, he is not using height to fight, but to use running position, is to use his judgment, the first time to find the landing point of the ball, and then complete the goal.
That's why he was able to dismantle the trident!
Mane
The only regret is that in this game, Mane shot several times, played too well, and missed a good opportunity. Díaz gave him 2 great passes, but he wasn't in too good shape today. Sorry to miss! Otherwise Liverpool could have pulled the score apart early.
Klopp adjusted on the spot, killing two birds with one stone
regretful
After Mane missed the opportunity and charged the goalkeeper with a yellow card, Klopp immediately made a substitution adjustment, which seemed to be a routine operation, but had other intentions.
Salah
In the 70th minute, he replaced Mane with Salah and sent Salah to PK Mane. Fabinho replaced Henderson and let Henderson rest to cope with the Champions League. The seemingly counterpoint substitution is actually to keep the players in a strong healthy competition with each other and stimulate their upward fighting spirit, at this point, Klopp played a pure fire!
And then on
After Salah came out, the attacking power in the front was active again, and Dias and Salah kept tinkering with the Newcastle defense in the front, but still regretted not being able to extend the score. Reluctantly, Klopp made another substitution adjustment, replacing Milner with Siago.
Siago
It is also like a counterpoint adjustment, and more importantly, he wants to let Siago play warm-up and continue to maintain his form, while also eager to use Ciaggo's fatal pass to help Liverpool complete the suspense of ending the game. At the same time, veteran Milner also needs to adjust because of physical factors.
Look at the 3 cards Klopp played and the moves are in place! Kill two birds with one stone. At the same time as the main rotation, the lineup switches to ensure the rationality of competition!
Of course, the final result, Liverpool only with Keita scored the only goal in the whole game, helped Liverpool get 3 points on the road, the title situation is still suspenseful, it can be said that in this game, Klopp's wishful thinking is still reached! It not only ensures the continuity of competition in the league, but also accumulates the strength of the Champions League. With 4 crowns this season, they can still look away!
2 questions or into regrets
Klopp
Liverpool won 1-0 over Newcastle in this match, ending the opponent's unbeaten record at home. But Liverpool is not without concerns.
First, the confidence of the players may become their biggest obstacle
Look at the beginning of the game, Alisson with the ball in front of the goal, and even sometimes want to try to pass, in a short distance and the cooperation with the defender almost intercepted by Newcastle, I don't know if it is confident to light enemies, or Alisson is bold?
Sometimes the biggest enemy on the road to success is not others, but yourself! They are strong, they are crazy, they are confident, but if they are not grasped well, they become conceited! Admittedly, Alisson's foot skills can also be placed in other positions on the pitch in the Premier League, he has a good ability to assist in scoring with long passes, and his ability to block single-knife balls is even more unique, but he can play with fire.
Second, the Liverpool defense line is pressed, and the large area of the back defense is easy to penetrate
This campaign, Newcastle also scored a goal, perhaps when the ball is scored, the heart of Liverpool fans is destined to be nervous. Their defensive line is indeed very good, Matip + Van Dijk these two tall, not only the technical flexibility under the feet, the speed of turning, the height advantage is also obvious, and the rear defense is also pressed with an Alisson, which allows them to easily press.
But on the pressure, if the Newcastle striker takes a slight step back, that is, starts a little later, then the score can be rewritten! This should be a wake-up call, and this game, Newcastle is not only an offside, you can say that Liverpool is superb at creating offside, but often walk by the river where there are not wet shoes, the current stage, do not allow wet shoes, even if it is a wet, the championship will change!
Alisson
Liverpool are ambitious, they can imagine four crowns, (the League Cup has won, the FA Cup reaches the final against Chelsea, the Premier League and Manchester City are only one point apart, the Champions League reaches the semi-finals) but they need to be more careful!
They are strong and strong, and what they need to do more is to be good at themselves! Don't take the enemy lightly!
