The first tumor in football

Chapter 153: We in Liverpool do not take a single penny from the masses

Firmino is indeed a tool in Liverpool.

But he can become the best tool man in the world of football, which also proves his ability.

The handsome man Firmino.

If Salah and Mane are the thighs of Liverpool's forward line, then Firmino is the leg.

Firmino, Salah and Mane are known as the Red Arrows of Liverpool.

Forward trident is the most popular term among football fans.

He was referring to the fact that the three-man frontcourt combination cooperated well with each other and had extremely strong firepower output, which was a powerful weapon for the team to attack cities and capture strongholds.

Among the front trident of this century, the most famous are Real Madrid's BBC combination and Barcelona's MSN combination.

Their strong ability to decide matches has left many deep memories for the fans.

And now, the Red Army's trident combination has just been formed this season, and many people have not yet realized how powerful they are.

After the BBC and MSN groups disbanded one after another, the Liverpool Red Arrows consisting of Salah, Mane and Firmino can be said to have become the new trident that all teams fear.

Dressed in red, they overcame all obstacles on the field and helped Liverpool write the most glorious period in its history.

At this point in time, Liverpool has just completed the initial stages of their rising lineup.

Liverpool has performed well this season and is ranked first in the standings, which is inseparable from the outstanding performance of the Red Arrows.

Compared to Salah and Mane, Firmino, who plays the role of false nine, may not be so noticeable.

But this is exactly the quality he needs most on the court.

He can complete the connection in the frontcourt, and can also suddenly score a key goal when no one is paying attention.

This characteristic is actually the most troublesome thing for defensive players.

Song Wen understood that today's match might be the most brutal one he would ever face.

Liverpool's offensive power was even stronger than Chelsea at the time.

With Ipswich's tractor-like defense, the possibility of defending against the attack of the Red Arrows is almost zero.

What's even more disadvantageous is that in today's game, he has not yet met the conditions for starting the nuclear power drive.

In other words, it was impossible for him to run around the field and assist in defense like he did in the game against Chelsea.

So at Song Wen's suggestion, Ipswich directly put out a 5-4-1 bus formation without hesitation.

It's not shameful to park the bus, but it's shameful to lose.

In this game, Ipswich could only play defensive counterattacks.

Because compared to their luxurious offensive front line, Liverpool's current personnel configuration in the midfield and backcourt is slightly insufficient compared to other giants, and they do not have any world-class big-name stars.

Therefore, the only way to win this game is to park the bus and do our best to block Liverpool's firepower coverage, and then find opportunities to counterattack and score.

However, what Song Wen didn't know was that when he was observing Liverpool's players on the field, he had almost become the center of attention of world football.

[Shocked! Ipswich star Song Wen still insists on playing despite breaking his leg! ]

[Song Wen appeared in time to save the fans' confidence! ]

In the live broadcast of Douyin Live Room, Song Wen just shook his legs casually during warm-up, which aroused heated discussion among fans.

[I just saw Song Qiuwang shaking his right leg. Is his injury not healed yet?]

[Let's forget about this match. It's hard to play without him anyway. It's just right for me to take a break. I don't mind this one point.]

[The fact that you can say this proves that you are a fake fan. If they play against a weaker team, Song may really take a break. But he will definitely play against Liverpool.]

【Song the King of Football, who has always been strong! 】

[Wow, tears welled up in my eyes. He can still play football even with a broken leg. Is this the people's football king? ]

[Don’t be the king of football. In the last game against Chelsea, he went bankrupt the first time he played against a big team. ]

[How could the people's king of football stand on the side of speculative capital? ]

[To be honest, Liverpool should be the most uncomfortable team right now. ]

In the live broadcast room, Zhan Jun looked a little conflicted.

As an old Liverpool fan, he now doesn't know from what standpoint he should use to comment on this game.

Fan Zhiyi, who was already an old partner, was not a very good person to begin with. After seeing Zhan Jun's strange look, he directly asked:
"Teacher Zhan Jun, what do you think will be the final result of today's game?"

Although there seems to be nothing wrong with Fan Zhiyi's question, he is actually asking who you are more optimistic about.

Fan Zhiyi's live broadcast room is not like those official sports platform live broadcast rooms. There are not so many restrictions and requirements, and Zhan Jun also relaxed a lot.

He knew that there was no point in playing it safe at this time. In the past six months, he had learned what program effects were under the guidance of Song Wen and Fan Zhiyi. He spoke directly:

"Today's game will definitely be a draw!"

"It's definitely a draw? Wow, Mr. Zhan Jun, you can guarantee a draw? It's irresponsible of you to say that."

Zhan Jun smiled and began to explain in a serious manner.

"Looking at the lineups of both teams in today's game, Ipswich used a bus formation, which is a big problem for Liverpool's offense. But we know that Liverpool's offensive firepower is very strong this season. The number of goals scored by their team is only second to Ipswich, and is much higher than Manchester City and Manchester United. When they face weak teams, they also have many offensive means and methods to face the bus formation, so I think it is unlikely for Ipswich to rely on the bus formation to defend against Liverpool's offense."

"And Ipswich has Song Wen on the field. Is it not too much for me to give Ipswich two goals? Look at Song Wen's appearance today. His eyes clearly show that he is very..."

"Alright, alright," Fan Zhiyi interrupted Zhan Jun as he was about to start talking nonsense, "To put it bluntly, you want a draw, right?"

Zhan Jun did not hide it and said with a smile:

"To be honest, I think a draw, coupled with an exciting match, is what I would most like to see as a fan of both Liverpool and Song Wen."

Fan Zhiyi snorted coldly, obviously despising Zhan Jun's two-faced behavior.

"I think Ipswich will win this game." He glanced at Zhan Jun and added:
"Don't ask why, because that's what a real fan would say, you fake fan."

Fan Zhiyi's words made Zhan Jun blush, but he still said:

"But to be honest, I think if Ipswich wants to win, this year's game will inevitably be like the one against Chelsea. Song Wen will be under a lot of pressure, and we don't know if there is any problem with his leg. Although from the camera now, Song Wen does not seem to be affected too much when he is walking and jogging, for a professional football player, even the slightest discomfort in his legs is likely to affect his entire game."

Listening to the argument between the two, the comments on the forums also began to make fun of them.

[Brothers, the market is open! ! Deduct 1 for Ipswich win, deduct 2 for Liverpool win, and deduct B for betting. ]

[To be honest, in today's game, Song Zema is probably going to suffer his first defeat. It's not shameful to lose to Liverpool. ]

[Impossible, absolutely impossible. Anyone who says this obviously doesn’t understand us Liverpool.]

[Open the door, fellow countryman. It's Song Zema. Don't be afraid. We in Liverpool will never take a single penny from the public.]

[If you want to know if it’s bitter, think about Liverpool…]

[Stop joking. Liverpool has just regained some of its former glory this season. I really can’t send you warmth.]

[Hey, isn't this a Liverpool fan? The Liverpool fan who breaks the opponent's legs when he can't beat them. ]

Anfield Stadium.

Klopp stood on the sidelines of the court, watching Song Wen who was warming up, and he really felt like a dumb person eating coptis and unable to express his pain.

Song Wen's appearance at this time is the worst news for Liverpool.

Because Liverpool has already taken the blame, but Song Wen still played and Chun Chun became a clown.

After all, now people outside are saying that Liverpool has hired someone to beat someone up, and this is a fact that cannot be washed away even if you jump into the Yellow River.

Originally, if Song Wen really broke his leg and allowed Liverpool to win the game easily, then Klopp would have to take the blame and accept it.

What is the worst thing?
The worst thing is that with Song Wen's appearance on the court, the outcome of this game has become somewhat unknown.

That is what if Ipswich win?
You hired someone to beat someone up before the game, but in the end the other person still beat you. As a top football team, the face of Liverpool is even more disgraced than taking a bath in a toilet.

Klopp is under a lot of pressure today.

This is not just because of the face of the so-called Premier League big6, but because Liverpool has suffered so much in the past few decades.

As a century-old top team, Liverpool once had an extremely glorious history. They dominated the English football scene in the early 1980s.

However, since winning the last English Premier League title in the late 1980s, Liverpool has not won any league championship trophy for the next three decades.

What’s even more interesting is that every time Liverpool was about to win the league title, they would always lose the championship due to various bizarre things.

But after Klopp took over as head coach, Liverpool achieved good results last season.

After completing the lineup update this season, they have been making their way through the league and are considered by Red Army fans to have the best chance of winning the championship this year.

But no one expected that they would beat Arsenal, beat Manchester United, and even be in better shape than Manchester City. As a result, this season's Premier League suddenly saw the emergence of a brilliant dark horse that had never been seen in history, Ipswich.

The outcome of this game is related to the ownership of the first place in the English Premier League.

If Liverpool can win or draw, they will continue to maintain their advantage in the standings.

But if they fail, they will hand over the top spot to others, and Ipswich will directly top the English Premier League standings.

Therefore, the match between the two sides attracted even more attention than the Manchester City derby taking place at the same time.

For Klopp, there are too many elements in this game.

Liverpool Football Club has a face problem.

The issue of the first place in the league.

And more importantly, the Liverpool players who have been reorganized this season are on a high-spirited momentum. Once they lose the game, it will be like opening Pandora's box, bringing unpredictable impacts to their next games.

So no matter what, this game cannot be lost.

At least a draw.

But Klopp knows that facing a player like Song Wen, even if you want a draw, you cannot rely on defense to achieve this goal.

Due to financial reasons, Liverpool's main expenditure this year will be on the front line.

There are not many reinforcements in defense.

This can also be seen from the data.

Although Liverpool is currently on a winning streak, they concede goals in every game, even when facing weak teams.

This is also why Klopp chose to buy Van Dijk, who was still playing for Southampton, for a transfer fee of 75 million pounds in 2018.

With the addition of Van Dijk, the Liverpool Red Army has become a truly complete team.

Now, Klopp knows clearly that if their defense wants to get a goal and an assist in almost every game, it is impossible for Song Wen, who is currently firmly at the top of the English Premier League scorer and assist lists, not to score a goal in offense, as he is regarded by fans as the best player of all time.

So Liverpool have to attack.

Ipswich's defense is the most criticized part. If he cannot take advantage of this weakness of Ipswich, then the trident that he spent so much money to build will be useless.

Amid the excited cheers of the fans at Anfield, the match between the two sides finally officially began.

What made Song Wen regretful was that their luck was not very good. They failed to guess the heads and tails of the coin, allowing Liverpool to get the right to serve.

Liverpool adopted a very aggressive approach after kicking off.

Except for two defenders who stayed behind, almost all the players pressed forward.

Ipswich's defense retreated very far back and could only passively withstand Liverpool's fierce bombardment.

Song Wen did not choose to participate in the let-go because they already had nine people in the backcourt.

He and Grealish always have to provide support in the midfield, otherwise no one will compete for the header in the penalty area, not to mention that McGoldrick cannot be allowed to shoot alone from dozens of meters away.

But what Song Wen didn't expect was that Ipswich's defense was broken in just five minutes when facing Liverpool's attack!
