Football: The strongest post-zero generation

The 232nd Merseyside derby, this topic alone is enough for football people around the world to write about it.

Especially at the start of the game, after everyone saw Liverpool's starting list, more voices began to appear.

Andy Gray, a Sky TV commentator, exaggerated his prolonged voice to express his emotions: "Oh...... Oh my God, what are Liverpool trying to do? Is the game list wrong?"

Commentator Martin Taylor was also extremely surprised, "Liverpool's game list today is really a little incomprehensible, although the recombination of the front trident is exciting, but the midfield is really okay with this arrangement?"

The commentator of Celestial Empire 5 was also shocked, and He Wei said bluntly.

"Liverpool's central axis today, in addition to Wijnaldum, for the first time sent a new combination like Fabinho and Nabi Keita, why did Li Qing sit on the bench?

Xu Yang immediately echoed: "Fabinho and Keita are both players who have joined this season, although they have performed remarkably in recent games, but starting in this kind of derby is really debatable. "

Zhang Lu: "Yes, it is undeniable that Uncle Scum is sometimes bold in arranging troops, but in today's derby, the midfield is not Milner and Lallana, who have been in excellent form recently, but two defensive midfielders, is there something wrong with Liverpool?"

BBC commentator Lineker directly opened his mouth: "Klopp is a bad pen, why don't you go to the genius Lee? Such an important game, does he want to mess up? Liverpool without Li Qing, is it still Liverpool?"

The fans at the scene were also a little confused when they saw Liverpool's starting lineup.

To be honest, today's fans are very much looking forward to what kind of performance Li Qing will use to conquer them in the first Merseyside derby this season, but they didn't expect Klopp to not arrange Li Qing to start.

Could it be that Li Qing was also injured?

The fans were shocked and looked towards the bench, and when they saw Li Qing, Milner and Lallana all sitting on the bench, their hearts relaxed slightly, but they immediately felt a wave of annoyance.

Although it is very important to let the rotation of the main players get rest, it also depends on the occasion and the situation.

Today's game is a home derby, why not arrange Li Qing to rotate or rest in the next league game with Burnley and Bournemouth, but arrange to rotate the substitute today?

Everton are not easy to mess with, Chelsea have already tasted the pain of Everton this season, didn't Klopp make pre-match preparations?

It's no wonder that fans think so, since they choose to watch the game and it's at their home stadium, who doesn't want to see their team play a hearty win or a derby.

However, in this game, captain Jordan Henderson was injured, vice-captain and first sat on the bench, Van Dijk wore the captain's armband, Fabinho and Keita started, despite the front trident, it can be clearly a posture ready to play defensive counterattack.

But looking at the away team's formation today is 4231, which is also a typical lineup for defensive counterattacks, then this means that today's game between the two sides is likely to become tasteful, which no one wants to see.

The scene of the game was specially given to the Liverpool owner, John Henry and his wife Linda Pizzutti, who came to watch the game, and they were listening to the words of Liverpool CEO Peter Moore sitting next to them.

Fans immediately made up their minds, and Liverpool's CEO was explaining to his boss why Klopp had a problem with today's line-up, so he began to make a loud noise.

The noise of the fans quickly attracted the attention of the three people, and the big screen at the scene quickly removed the camera from the three people, which attracted a louder drum noise from the audience.

Klopp quickly noticed the situation, and his face became very ugly, he didn't expect his lineup to attract such a big backlash from the fans.

If you all play the way you want to play, what's the use of me as a manager?

Klopp was indignant, but quickly focused on the game in front of him, and he was very confident in today's game.

But soon, Klopp's confidence almost suffered.

Less than four minutes into the game, Liverpool were awarded a free-kick from the left side of the pitch, which was sent to the Liverpool penalty area, and Everton defender Mina's header almost opened the scoring.

Less than fifteen minutes later, Everton made a comeback, the little tiger Walcott's header was ferried, and Everton defender Andre Gomez headed the goal from close range, which was bravely lifted out by Alisson, shocking the cold sweat of the Liverpudlians.

Seeing his team being pressed and beaten by the away team, Klopp's face began to look bad, and Liverpool's players on the field seemed to feel the manager's dissatisfaction and began to exert their strength.

However, the front three seemed to have lost their sharpness in this game, and neither Mane's shot in the box nor Roberto Firmino's long-range shot could break the deadlock on the pitch.

Although midfielder Keita had an excellent chance to score, his shot was denied by England international Jordan Pickford, and this opportunity was also Liverpool's only best chance to score in the first half.

As for Salah, he seems to have completely lost himself in the confrontation with the opposing defenders.

Especially in the final stages of the first half, Salah played one-on-one with the opposition defender on the wing he was good at, but he could not get past the opponent and was robbed of the ball by the opponent.

Although the referee finally awarded the opposing defender a foul, it must be said that Salah's performance in the first half was unsatisfactory.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and Everton were as lively as ever, with Little Tiger Theo Walcott's shot from outside the box putting Alisson under pressure.

Sigurdsson's powerful long-range shot made Liverpool's penalty area even more popular.

On Liverpool's side, the front trident continued to be lost, although there were a lot of shots, but they were all fruitless, Mane and Salah wanted to play together, but they didn't expect Salah to fall into the opponent's offside trap.

In the 70th minute of the game, the score of the two sides was still 0-0, which made the fans at the scene suddenly feel greatly dissatisfied, especially at this time, Klopp has not made a single substitution, which makes the fans even more unhappy.

But just when the fans were about to make a move, a move by Klopp made the fans instantly excited. _
