What ball king, call me ball god

The second half of the game begins.

Ajax was the first to walk out of the player channel.

Liverpool followed, with both teams on the pitch.

The referee was looking at his watch, and when the time was right, the referee blew the whistle to start the second half.

Liverpool's center forward Firmino kicked off for the third time of the game, and he kicked the ball to Fabinho.

I didn't run forward, but waited for the two wings to go, and stayed in the midfield position. This is where Firmino is different from most other center forwards. He is more like an attacking midfielder. He can't even be counted as a shadow forward.

After the start of the second half, he still didn't rush to the position where the center should be in the first time.

Klopp knows the characteristics of players, and he also knows that Firmino is such a forward, but at this time, he is still a little anxious. He yelled loudly on the sidelines to let Firmino go up. In fact, there is a high probability that Firmino will not hear the shouts of the coach on the sidelines.

So Klopp's shouting on this side is just shouting cool.

At this time, the ball had reached Henderson's feet, and Henderson wanted to repeat the same trick, passing the ball to Arnold who was plugging in from the wing, and then went forward by himself, replicating Liverpool's first goal of the game.

But as soon as Henderson took the ball and was still observing, Van der Beek rushed over.

With a sliding shovel, he brought Henderson down with the ball.

The referee was right in front of him, but soon, the referee signaled the game to continue.

He didn't make any foul calls, because the referee could see clearly that Van der Beek tackled the ball first, and he didn't tackle Henderson either. Henderson suddenly lost the ball, his right foot had already swung, and he lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.

Seeing that the referee didn't say anything, Van der Beek immediately passed the ball to Ziyech on the right.

Ziyech was about to face Robertson with the ball, but Ziyech resolutely dribbled the ball straight in Robertson's direction. Seeing that he was about to hit him, Ziyech turned sideways and made a cross.

Leaning on Robertson, he made a cross with his strength.

At this time, Lin Kedi suddenly came out from behind Matip, went straight into the penalty area, and jumped high to meet the incoming ball. A tiger descended the mountain and was about to smash the ball into the net.

But the ball was a bit to the left, and Alisson was concentrating again and blocked the near corner. Alisson's left hand stretched out and blocked the ball.

But at this time, the ball is still in the penalty area.

As soon as Lin Kedi hit the ground, he wanted to rush to where the ball landed, but at this time, Van Dijk kicked the ball directly out of the baseline with a big kick.

"This header is too brilliant. The cooperation between Ziyech and Linke's passing and running is just right, but it was thrown out, but Ajax still has a chance for a corner kick!"

This corner kick was taken by Van der Beek.

Lin Kedi is still the focus of attention. After all, Lin Kedi's second goal was a header.

This time, the people who marked Lin Kedi became Van Dijk and Matip, and Liverpool's central defenders came to mark Link.

Lin Kedi thought to himself, wouldn't there be fewer people marking other people now?
He thought to himself, Van der Beek, you have to pass it on to someone else, Matais.

This way the chances are greater.

Van der Beek didn't see this in the penalty area, he still passed it to Lin Kedi.

Although Lin Kedi also jumped high, but under the double-teaming of the two, the three of them failed to grab the ball. The ball was hit by the back of Van Dijk's head and reached the right side of the penalty area. There was Liverpool's midfielder Fabinho. As soon as he saw the ball flying towards him, he immediately jumped up and tried his best to push the ball out of the penalty area.

Arnold got the ball outside the penalty area.

He wants to move the ball forward quickly, or pass the ball out.

But as soon as he took two steps, he was knocked to the ground by the oncoming Tagliafico.

The referee whistled and came over and gave Liverpool a free kick in the backcourt.

But no yellow card was shown, which caused dissatisfaction among Liverpool players.

Of course, the Liverpool fans were even more dissatisfied, booing everywhere for a while.

Arnold got up from the ground and wanted to argue with the referee.

As for Tagliafico, seeing that he didn't play a card for himself, he decisively left the scene of the incident.

Arnold was chattering and complaining to the referee.

The on-duty referee Skomina did not allow his authority to be questioned, and immediately put on a straight face.

Then pick up the whistle to signal.

"Tagliafico is not a foul worthy of a yellow card. It is a normal physical confrontation. I believe you play in the Premier League. You should be able to feel it! And this is his first foul in this game, so I will not play a card. My scale is consistent throughout the game. I hope you can understand my position and penalty scale. Finally, Mr. Arnold, I don’t like the way you chatter at me, but this is the first time you have made such a mistake in this game, so I will not give you a card!"

The referee's implication is also very clear. Arnold is not stupid, on the contrary, he is quite smart, so he heard the implication, turned around when his anger subsided, picked up the ball, and pretended to take this backcourt free kick.

Then Arnold turned around and put the ball down, ready to take the free kick in the backcourt.

Arnold drove the ball directly to the frontcourt, Firmino wanted to unload the ball first, and then split the side.

But this time, when Firmino rushed to the ball, Schone got the ball directly one step ahead.

Firmino had no choice but to grab the ball immediately.

Schöne adhered to Ajax's consistent tactical style, that is, to play the ball quickly and pass the ball directly to De Jong who was running forward.

After De Jong got the ball, he passed Van der Beek directly and made a long pass to find Lin Kedi who was on the left in the frontcourt.

"Today Lin Kedi spends most of his time on the left."

"Because of Arnold."

"Yes, it's Arnold. Link has defeated Arnold today, and the success rate so far is still—this time too!"

"Lin Kedi beat Arnold 5 times today, and he succeeded every time!"

This time, after Link passed Arnold, he did not choose to cut inside.

After all, Arnold's poor defense does not mean that his teammates can't help to fill up. As soon as Link passed Arnold, Fabinho on Liverpool's side immediately filled up, and then formed a defensive front with Matip.

Lin Kedi observed for a while, and secretly stuffed the ball to the top of the arc at the front of the penalty area, where Tadic was.

Tadic got the ball, but when he wanted to shoot, he was blocked by Van Dijk who stepped forward.

Van Dijk still showed his world-class central defender's instincts when facing players other than Lin Kedi. (end of this chapter)
