Football: The strongest post-zero generation

"Conceding a goal first, and then letting my ace scorer confuse my players, it's enough for you!"

A cold light flashed in Hodgson's eyes, but looking at the field again, Hodgson felt a burst of powerlessness, and now this team simply does not have the strength to compete with Liverpool.

Palace have yet to fill the void left by the passer in midfield since Cabaye's departure this season, and the expiration of Roftes' loan spell has left the team with one less point of surprise up front.

Most of the current Crystal Palace team's attack is completely based on the indulgence of Zaha alone, and the connection between Ayew in the front court.

However, Liverpool clearly took note of this area after conceding a goal, and Fabinho sacrificed his own attack to freeze Zaha.

Without Zaha's sharp breakthrough in the front, Ayew became a source of water, although there were still Macarthur and Kouyate and others in the midfield, but after most of the half, the physical strength of the Crystal Palace players on the field was obviously unable to keep up.

Jurgen Klopp's side clearly had plenty of room to spare, and Li Qing's abrupt performance on the right created three chances, two of which turned into goals, which made Hodgson feel very jealous.

God knows what kind of tactical thinking the German from Dortmund on the other side has instilled in this Liverpool team!

But Hodgson knew that in the next game, if no changes were made, he could only sit and wait, but the stubborn old coach was not a person who liked to admit defeat, so he waved his hand, and the German international Meier on the bench began to prepare for the warm-up.

It's not uncommon for the lagging side to make substitutions after expanding their advantage, especially now that it's the second half of the second half, and if they can't make changes, Palace will have no chance.

However, Klopp did not make any substitutions, and his usual style of coaching was to chase after the victory, and the team was now only one goal ahead of the opposition, which was simply not enough, so he began to wave loudly from the sidelines.

"Keep attacking, press up, don't let them catch the ball comfortably, James, run, are you really old!"

Crystal Palace substitution, German Meyer came on the field, replacing Macarthur, who was already a little out of fitness, after coming on the field, Meyer appeared on the left, and Zaha's position changed from the left to the middle, becoming a second striker position.

Clearly, the former Liverpool boss has decided to take a gamble and leave Anfield with his head held high, even if he loses.

The game restarted, after Meyer got the ball, he very resolutely hit Liverpool's right side, Milner was a little powerless under the impact of Meyer, and the thirty-three-year-old Liverpool vice-captain, the pace obviously could not keep up with the Germans who had just come on the field.

Feeling that he could not keep up with his opponent's footsteps, Milner had no choice but to put down Meier, who was about to get rid of him, and the referee immediately blew the whistle and then stepped forward to give Milner a yellow card.

Seeing this yellow card, Klopp on the sidelines frowned and shook his head, without Arnold on the field, Liverpool's right side defense is really unreassuring.

Although Milner is used as the team's central midfielder, he can't often be used as a tinker, especially when used as a defender, and some of his frequent fouls and mistakes will make people tremble on the sidelines.

Although there is youth defender Camacho on the bench, he doesn't dare to expect an eighteen-year-old child to be able to defend the German international Meier on the opposite side, not everyone can be as good as Li Qing, and he can play at a level in any position!

Otherwise, let Li Qing play at right-back and replace Lallana with a solid defense and attack? Klopp hesitated a little.

But just when Klopp hesitated, Crystal Palace fought for the ball in the midfield, and then handed the ball to the feet of Meyer, who began to break through with the ball.

This time it was Henderson who defended Myer, and the Liverpool captain was obviously a little careless in the face of the opponent, and at the same time, the marking was not tight, and the kick also seemed a little casual, so that Myer was easily deceived by a feint and was successfully ridden by the opponent.

Meyer, who shook off Henderson, immediately galloped towards Liverpool's right with the ball, Ayew and Zaha in the middle of the pitch both fired arrows, and Matip and Van Dijk were both attracted to attention.

The Liverpool players on the field did not realize that the running position of Zaha and Ayew was opening up space for Myer, and as long as Myer could successfully break through from Milner's side, he would form a one-on-one face against the opposing goalkeeper.

"Hell!" Milner, noticing that Henderson was getting rid of by Meyer, didn't hesitate to lunge at the other man.

As a player who has played football for more than 20 years, all he thinks about at the moment is that there is no yellow card warning on his back, only to put an end to the attack of Crystal Palace in front of him.

Milner stared at the opponent in front of him, without a frizzy kick like Henderson just now, and Milner's steady posture made Meier feel a little anxious.

The fast attack that was finally launched from him could not be abandoned halfway because of the opponent in front of him, thinking that Milner had already carried a yellow card, and then looking at the large space behind Milner, Meyer gritted his teeth and made a decision.

Meier's foot slid across the ball and he made a gesture to break through from the right, but Milner was unfazed and concluded that Meier was a fake.

But just when Milner thought that the opponent was trying to confuse him with a feint, Meier poked the ball forward at his feet, twisted and broke through from the right side.

Not a feint?

Milner was shocked, stretched out his hand to grab the opponent, but he caught it empty, in a hurry, Milner directly put a shovel, and Meier, who had broken through Milner, lost his balance instantly, rolled forward exaggeratedly several times in a row, and lay on the ground.

"Beep-"

The referee's whistle blew, and Milner felt a chill in his heart when he heard the whistle, and when he saw that the referee had made the move to take the cards out of his pocket, he felt a chill all over.

The players from both sides instantly gathered around, Henderson folded his hands and pleaded with the referee, while the players of Crystal Palace kept accusing Milner of the bad foul just now.

Klopp's eyes closed the moment he saw Milner put the shovel down, you idiot!

As soon as Li Qing ran back from the front court, he saw the referee take out two cards from his pocket, first signaled a yellow card to Milner, followed by a red card, and then pointed out to the outside of the field.

Li Qing looked at the vice-captain who was walking off the field in frustration, and then looked at Myer, who was standing up in a crowd of players at Crystal Palace, and was talking and laughing, and a wave of anger welled up in his chest. _
