Football: The strongest post-zero generation

Soon it was matchday, and more than 30,000 fans poured into Molinox Stadium to watch Wolves host Liverpool today.

At this moment, it was already drizzling over the Molinox Stadium, but the rain did not dampen the enthusiasm of the fans.

On the contrary, the Wolves fans who had already poured into the stadium after discovering the rain became even more excited.

Speaking of which, this is also a tradition in England, as an island country, the weather and climate in England are originally rainy all year round, so it is common to watch games in the rain.

And as long as you are a fan, you know that a game played in the rain will look better, because everyone knows that playing in the rain will increase more accidents, especially the goalkeeper will be easier to get rid of the ball, which will cause more scoring opportunities.

So this sudden rain made Wolves fans full of expectations for this game.

Wolves have won three in a row in the league and have been beaten against a team of strong teams, but a win over Liverpool in this game will undoubtedly be exciting.

It can even be said that even if Wolves play badly in the next game, this game alone is enough for fans to blow a whole season!

But compared to the expectations of fans, the coach of Wolves, Portuguese Nuno, stood on the side of the pitch at this time, looking at the water droplets on the turf of the stadium, his brows locked deeply.

Nuno, who is a goalkeeper by training, knows very well how playing in these conditions can affect his team.

Especially when I think about the training session of the Liverpool team a few days ago, on the blistered stadium, the mood becomes even worse.

Obviously, his assistant coach has repeatedly confirmed that there will be no rain in today's game, and there was a little sun during the day today, why is it that it has rained lightly now, and there is a tendency to get bigger and bigger?

In stark contrast, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp returned to the dressing room with a relaxed face after observing the rain in the stadium.

In the away team's locker room, the players who were ready to play were all relaxed, and when they saw the coach coming in, the smiles on their faces did not converge, and they all looked extremely relaxed.

"Lee, this time it's your blessing!" Klopp joked rarely, "The time and place are on our side, and the rest is up to you!"

"In this game, we have to do the same as the last game, and turn the home stadium of Wolves into our home stadium!" Mane was in a lot of mood, and he was very motivated today, not just because of the bet with Jurgen Klopp.

"Boss, you better think about it, how to explain to Ulla when you go back!" Li Qing stood up and smiled at Klopp playfully: "God is standing with me and Mane, if you admit defeat now, I can consider giving you a discount!"

"You stinky boy!" Klopp pointed at Li Qing and scolded with a smile, waiting for the staff to knock on the door and come in, reminding the Liverpool players to get ready to play, so everyone immediately took action.

When walking out of the players' tunnel, Li Qing unexpectedly noticed that the captains of the two teams were actually talking and laughing with each other.

Mane also felt strange, Li Qing, "Li, the captain seems to have a good relationship with the captain opposite, is he also your national team teammate?"

Li Qing raised his eyebrows, he also felt strange, but Coaddy, the captain of the Wolves team, was not a member of the Three Lions, so he didn't know how to answer Mane's question.

At this time, Milner threw a sentence, "Coady is from Liverpool, and he is also a player who came out of the Corkie Academy, and he used to play for Liverpool, don't you all know?"

"Ah, James, are you serious?" Mane's eyes widened with an incredulous expression, and Li Qing was also slightly surprised, because according to this calculation, the captain of the Wolves team was still his senior.

"What are you lying to!" Milner gave Mane a blank look, "Alexander-Arnold told me, by the way, he came to watch the game today, if you don't believe me, ask him after the game." "

Hearing Milner say this, Mane and Li Qing both believed it, but they didn't expect that it would be such a coincidence that the opponent they met was actually a player trained by their own club.

The starting lineup of the Wolves today did not surprise Li Qing, because it was exactly the same as the lineup he played against in the ladder match.

Goalkeeper Patricio, the defenders are Coady, Bennett and Boehly, the midfielders are Doherty, Jonicastero, Moutinho, Neves and Dendoncker, and the forwards are Jimenez and Jota.

This line-up is exactly the same as the Wolves game against Everton in the last round, and on the Wolves bench, White, Costa, Traore and Caballero are also ready to be added at any time.

Liverpool's line-up today is about the same as the previous game, with goalkeeper Alisson, defenders Robertson, Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip and James Milner, but in midfield, there are some changes in personnel.

Keita did not start, with Fabinho, Jordan Henderson and Li Qing forming a new combination of midfield, with the forward trident consisting of Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Sturridge.

This arrangement has given Liverpool's midfield both hardness and height, but there is nothing to do with Li Qing, it is purely modified by Klopp after learning that it was raining before Klopp submitted the game list.

In this game, Liverpool's formation is actually 4231, with captain Jordan Henderson and Fabinho acting as the team's double midfielders, forming the first barrier to protect the team's rear.

In Klopp's tactical arrangement, in addition to defense, Henderson also has to assume a certain responsibility for forward, cooperating with Li Qing in the middle, arranging ball control and passing, and using interspersed runs to bring out space to give the frontcourt players a better chance to score.

More often than not, Fabinho plays the role of protecting the middle and filling in for the defenders.

As the referee of the game, Clegg Pawson, blew the whistle, the game began, and the whole stadium immediately became noisy.

From the first minute of the game, the Liverpool team, which kicked off first, was fiercely pressed by the Wolves who set up a 352 formation.

The Wolves players made full use of their numerical advantage in midfield, through fast movement and local encirclement, so that Liverpool's players felt very uncomfortable.

The two sides fought fiercely in midfield and fought for the ball, and no matter who Liverpool received the ball, the two Wolves midfielders would move closer, forcing the Liverpool players to choose to attack in a detour and hand the ball to the side or behind them.

But because the rain gradually increased at this time, the stadium became slippery, so that the movements of the players on both sides of the game were a little deformed and even fell, but the fans in the stands, after seeing this scene, cheered even louder. _
