On the evening of November 7, the Anfield stadium was packed with dense fans inside and outside the stadium, and there was a sea of red everywhere, and the fans of the Shakhtar team were completely decorated in the sea of red.

At this time, the sky was drizzling, the temperature was slightly cool, and Liverpool in November ushered in the first rain of winter today, just before the match between Liverpool and Shakhtar.

The fans in the drizzle were enthusiastic, but in the home team's dugout inside the Anfield stadium, Klopp had a constipated expression on his face.

Damn, this rain doesn't fall early or late, but it falls before the game, and looking at this rain, the game will be carried out in the rain tonight!

Klopp looked at the list of away players he had just gotten in his hand and was in an even worse mood.

Before the game, he was informed that Shakhtar Donetsk captain Stepanenko and midfielder Tyson would both miss the game due to injury.

But the current roster, along with Stepanenko and Tyson, who are warming up on the pitch, let Klopp know that this game is going to be a tough one.

Stepanenko is a Ukraine international and the heart of both the national team and club teams, while Tyson is another threat to Shakhtar Donetsk's midfield.

In the first round against Liverpool, Stepanenko and Tyson both missed the game due to injury, and the club originally announced that they would still be suspended for this game, but they did not expect it to be smoke.

Two unexpected variables, coupled with the rain, Klopp's previous tactical arrangements became a dead letter, which made him have to completely overturn the previous arrangements for the players and reformulate the tactics for the players on the spot.

"It's raining today, the game is likely to fall into a stalemate, everyone must pay attention to warm up, play fast, pay more attention to cover in the midfield, be sure to concentrate, don't let the opponent open the big foot......"

In rainy games, the ball will be unpredictably bounced or refracted during the touch, and there are usually teams that will arrange players with good long-range shots to play the role of cold arrow shooters in the game.

While football matches are often played in rain or even snow due to geographical constraints in Ukraine, Liverpool is one of the few tourist cities in Great Britain where the weather is still mild in winter.

So today's game, the right time and place were occupied by the away team, and the home team did not actually have any home advantage except for the home fans cheering louder than the away team fans.

Especially under the leadership of Klopp, Liverpool's current attack is through the continuous rapid change of midfielders, creating more receiving points for teammates in the frontcourt, creating imbalances and loopholes in the opponent's defensive system, and forming opportunities to score.

In this kind of attack, most of the Liverpool players cooperate on the ground and finally form a goal-scoring opportunity, so the players' individual breakthroughs and physical requirements are very high.

After all, no matter how good a player is, in high-speed movement, the human body will be in an oxygen-free environment, and the team will not be able to avoid mistakes and loopholes.

It's just that Liverpool's players before were very adaptable to this kind of attack, and they were more talented than players from other teams, so Liverpool was able to lead their opponents by a large margin many times this season.

But today's game is rainy, the ground is slippery, there is a lot of unpredictability in football in this kind of field, once the opponent plays in this kind of weather, their own strengths, it will be a disaster for Liverpool.

And football games are not like basketball games, basketball games can be almost unlimited substitutions and pause the game at any time to arrange tactics, football games except for halftime, most of the time can only rely on the players themselves on the court to find a way to solve the opponent.

So after rearranging the tactics, Klopp stood on the edge of the pitch with a rare wreck, watching the players on the pitch start to warm up.

Li Qing could see the head coach's worry, but he didn't say anything, for him, instead of worrying about this and worrying about that, it was better to end the game directly with a big score.

Since you were able to solve your opponent before, you will definitely be able to solve your opponent at your home stadium.

"Beep......

With the whistle of Hungarian referee Victor Kaushoi, the match between Liverpool and Shakhtar Dun began to play.

The visitors at Anfield Stadium took advantage of the kick-off advantage and quickly organized a wave of attack.

Shakhtar striker Cayodi quickly passed the ball to his teammate Tyson on the right, and the unworthy and skinny Tyson showed his Brazilian player's flexible style of play, breaking through Wijnaldum, who pounced on him, and passed the ball out.

The ball bounced around on the slippery grass and the players from both sides scrambled to squeeze the strong bodies of the Shakhtars, highlighting their superiority.

Henderson, who is 1.87 meters tall but weighs less than 70 kilograms, was knocked away by the opposing midfielder Stepanenko, broke through with the ball and took a few steps, and suddenly shot a cold arrow.

The ball was very powerful, and Stepanenko was still a half-high ball, and the ball obviously had a falling arc in the air, and Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson did not dare to hold it up, and quickly pounced in the direction where the ball fell.

But at this moment, a figure flashed in front of Alisson as fast as lightning, and Alisson suddenly lost the trace of the ball in front of him.

The Liverpool fans in the stands who were shouting loudly instantly felt as if they had been choked by the neck at the same time, and the entire Anfield stadium was silent for at least three seconds.

Liverpool's goal, the ball lay quietly in the net, and less than a minute after the game, the visiting Shakhtar striker McCone actually scored for his team.

Klopp shook his hand fiercely, clenched his teeth, and closed his eyes in pain, what he feared the most, he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

In the same way as the goal conceded against Manchester City in the eighth round of the league, Stepanenko's powerful low pass showed that he was not inferior to De Bruyne's quality.

But Klopp didn't expect that the short Brazilian striker McCone in the opponent's team was not inferior to Aguero in front of goal, and he actually grabbed the ball in front of his compatriot Alisson and stabbed the ball into the goal.

The big screen on the scene immediately gave Klopp a close-up, and the solemn expression of the Liverpool coach instantly fell in the eyes of tens of thousands of people in the stadium.

After the goal, McCone and Stepanenko happily hugged each other, and soon more players from the Shakhtar team pounced on them with cheers.

In the opponent's home stadium, when everyone is not optimistic about themselves, it is really not a good feeling to break the opponent's goal!

Liverpool's players were a little confused, and they all looked dignified after reacting, and none of them expected to be scored so quickly by the opponent, especially Henderson and Wijnaldum, who couldn't figure out how the goal was scored.

But at this moment, a familiar voice came from the middle circle, "What are you doing in a daze, the game has just begun!"
