Chapter 276
In any case, Liverpool relied on a set kick to open the deadlock. Lin Yi, who had only had one shot before, used a header to open Chelsea's goal.

Liverpool are in the lead.

This is a perfect start for Liverpool led by Klopp.
For Chelsea, the next game will be difficult...

After Mourinho finished cursing, he stood on the sidelines and frowned.

He also understands Chelsea's current situation.

In the end, Mourinho made a decision. After conceding the ball, he did not rush to counterattack. Instead, he maintained his current defensive posture and would not continue to concede the ball.After all, the game has just started and less than 10 minutes have passed. It would be too dangerous to attack at this time. There is enough time for Liverpool to score another goal.

Liverpool's morale is high after taking the lead. They can play whatever they want when attacking. At this time, not conceding more goals is more important than equalizing the score, and it is less difficult to execute.

But Liverpool are not in a hurry. Since they are ahead, let's deal with Chelsea to see who loses their temper first. Anyway, it's not Liverpool who are lagging behind now.

The score remained unchanged until the end of the first half, and Liverpool entered the halftime break with a one-goal lead.

None of Chelsea's players looked particularly good-looking when they left the field. They either lowered their heads, making it impossible to see their expressions at all, or they just had long faces.

Mourinho gave all his players a training session at halftime.

Because this is indeed a defensive problem on the team's part. Otherwise, how could Lin Yi score a goal?

If there was someone who could follow Lin Yi all the time, jump close to him, and get stuck inside, Lin Yi wouldn't be able to hit the ball so easily.

Every Chelsea player was scolded by Mourinho until they couldn't hold their heads high.

On the other side, Klopp was not happy because his team took the lead in the first half. In fact, he was looking for mistakes for his players, telling each player one by one what was wrong with their performance in the first half. .

"...Henderson, you got the ball too much in the first half. Don't always lower your head and dribble. Pass the ball. Pass the ball more. When you pass the ball, you make it harder for the opponent to defend... …”

"Royce, you returned too many passes in the first half. If you can only return passes, I will replace you..."

"Firmino, you moved too little in the first half..."

Really every player was criticized by Klopp, even Lin Yi was no exception. Klopp criticized Lin Yi for being too slow to enter the state after the start of the first half, before the long shot that caused the corner kick. There was no shot. This may be normal for other players, but when it comes to Lin Yi, Klopp can think it is abnormal.

After Lin Yi was criticized by Klopp, he didn't have any dissatisfaction. He just nodded: "I understand."

After the intermission, the two sides returned to the court.

Neither team made any adjustments at the same time, and the game continued.

In the second half, Chelsea, which was one goal behind, took advantage of the first seven or eight minutes of the second half to launch several waves of fierce attacks, but failed to score. Then they quickly recovered their defense and returned to the same state as the first half.

Mourinho is very experienced. He knows that being behind by two goals is the most fatal than being behind by one goal. So even if the score is still 0l in the end, as long as there are 10 minutes left, Chelsea still has a chance. They only need to score one goal. The ball would tie the score and send the score into overtime.

You must know that equalizing the score at the end of the game is a huge stimulus for the team that scored the goal, but it is a heavy blow for the other team that has been leading before.

The two sides will enter overtime with a completely different mentality, and the performance will be completely different...

So although the score was behind, it could be seen that Chelsea was not in a hurry, but was very calm.

Mourinho's adjustments during the halftime break were still effective.

Klopp naturally knew what Mourinho was going to do, but he did not press out and let the team score the second goal and end the suspense of the game early. He also made the team play leisurely. of.

Anyway, in the last 10 minutes, if Chelsea wants to press hard, then let them counterattack. Who will be afraid of who when the time comes?

With a player like Lin Yi, Klopp has no fear of being equalized by Chelsea at the last minute.

The game is definitely going in that direction as well.

Before the 10th minute, both sides were playing fairly tepidly. As a result, just after the game entered the 80th minute, Chelsea suddenly exerted force and launched wave after wave of fierce offensives towards Liverpool's goal.

But after Lin Yi ran with the ball for tens of meters and shot, but Courtois used his fingertips to push the ball out of the baseline, Chelsea's offense was obviously not as fierce as before - this was the most painful thing for them, the score Falling behind, there is not much time left in the game. If you want to fight to the death, you may really die before the fight is successful... Fighting to the death does not mean to really die, but to show desperate momentum, but in the end you still have to If you survive, if you die in the end, what's the point of fighting?
Chelsea made Lin Yi's speed very annoying, but they couldn't think of a better way.

So is Mourinho.

He can replace all the offensive players together and pounce, and really die with Liverpool, but does that make sense?

This is just a Community Shield. If you win, you may not be able to win the league championship or the Champions League.

To put it bluntly, this is just a relatively formal warm-up match before the season.The number of substitutions who didn't watch this game is not three, but five?
There is really no need to fight against Liverpool in this game, even if they are rivals in the same city.

The veteran Mourinho takes a longer-term view and does not care about the gains and losses of one city or one place, but looks at the entire season.

So in the end, he didn't ask the team to fight to the death, but he used up the five substitutions in his hand...

Finally, when the referee blew the full-time whistle, huge cheers rang out in Wembley Stadium, and these cheers came from the Liverpool fans.

"At the end of the game, Liverpool defeated Chelsea 1:0. They finally defeated Chelsea again in the new season with Lin's header. They won the Community Shield again after nine years!"

The award ceremony in the venue has reached its climax.

As the new team captain, Henderson stepped onto the podium.

First, he lowered his head and hung the gold around his neck, and then he took over a disc. This is the Community Shield Cup!
When Henderson received the trophy, a large amount of blue and white confetti sprayed out from behind the podium, and the chorus of Liverpool fans echoed through the sky.

Liverpool's players gathered around, vying to touch the Community Shield.

While Liverpool fans were singing and cheering, they couldn't help but wonder - is Liverpool's golden era coming?On August 2015, the first round of the 2016-[-] Premier League season officially kicked off.

The opening game is Chelsea vs. Tottenham at home.

The game ended with Chelsea defeating Tottenham 2:1.

Later, the Premier League teams have appeared.

Liverpool's first game is also included, as they face Stoke City away from home.

This is also Salah's first official game for Liverpool.

In this game, Liverpool fielded the strongest lineup they could field.

After Salah came on the field, Liverpool's offense was suddenly different.

He and Henderson occupy the wings, delivering cannonballs to Firmino in the middle. Midfielder Lin Yi can advance forward at any time and is also the fulcrum of the frontcourt. Occasionally, he will switch positions with Royce behind him, next to Reva. In response, Kante was trailing behind, becoming the last barrier in the midfield.

In the 303rd minute, after receiving the ball in midfield, Royce turned around and passed the Stoke City player who pounced too hard.

Then he almost didn't look at it and sent a through kick.
At the same time, Lin Yi suddenly cut in from the wing, rushed into the gap, received the through ball from Royce in the penalty area, and then shot with his right foot without stopping the ball.
The football flew into the goal between the goalkeeper and the goal post, and the goalkeeper only had time to make a save stance - the distance was too close, Lin Yi's shot was too powerful, and the speed of the football was too fast. It was normal for him to not be able to react. of……

"hoooooooooooooooongh! Lin! Lin Yi! He scored the first goal for Liverpool in the new league season!"

After scoring the goal, Lin Yi turned around and ran towards Royce, who stood there with his arms open, waiting for him.

Lin Yi ran over and the two hugged each other. Other Liverpool players also rushed up and surrounded the two of them.

The Liverpool fans who were traveling with the team in the stands sang the lyrics written for Lin Yi, and joy from the bottom of their hearts burst out along with the singing.

In the first half of the game, Liverpool took a one-goal lead thanks to Lin Yi's goal.

In the second half, the two sides changed places to fight again, and this time it was Lin Yi's turn to perform.

He broke through with the ball, and after attracting two of the three Stoke City players to defend him, he suddenly passed the football out, but he did not simply pass it to the goal, but passed it in an inverted triangle. , this was a bit beyond the expectations of the Stoke City defensive players. They were either chasing and intercepting Lin Yi, or guarding Firmino in front of the goal. No one expected that Lin Yi, who was about to break through to the bottom line, would pass the football. Go outside the restricted area.

Because all Stoke City players were trapped in the penalty area by Lin Yi's breakthrough, there was no one at the top of the penalty area outside the penalty area. At this time, Salah rushed up and fired a furious shot!

His shot made the football fly into the air and passed the densely packed Stoke City players in the penalty area. It also put Stoke City's goalkeeper out of reach. Although he jumped into the air and pounced on the football, Salah's shot was too fast. He is still some distance away from football...

In this way, the football plunged into the net!

"Salah! - Salah! Liverpool is leading Stoke City 2:0. The Egyptian has just joined Liverpool and scored a goal in his first official game. What could be a better debut than this?" ? The Egyptian used the fastest speed to make Liverpool fans fall in love with him!"

Salah was very excited after scoring, but he didn't forget to thank Lin Yi for the assist. He ran to Lin Yi and celebrated with him!
Klopp saw this scene off the court and had a smile on his face.

In the end, Liverpool's first league game of the new season ended with this score.

2:0!Liverpool easily defeated Stoke City in the away game. Regardless of the result or the scene, Liverpool had the upper hand.

After the first round of the league, Liverpool players can finally take a break. Due to the East Asia trip, the warm-up matches were arranged relatively closely. In addition to the Community Shield Cup, Liverpool players can be said to be playing the game with high intensity.

Fortunately, there is no messy schedule at the beginning of the league. The second round of the game is eight days later, and the opponent is Bournemouth. Faced with such an opponent, Liverpool relied on a goal from Firmino to win 1:0. Take down your opponent lightly.

Lin Yi played on the court for 10 minutes and was replaced before the urgent goal came. Because Klopp found that his opponent had no ability to resist, he asked Lin Yi to take a rest in advance.

Liverpool only scored one goal because they didn't want to score more goals, not because they couldn't. Even when their opponents had given up resistance, Liverpool didn't act aggressively.

Moreover, Arsenal in the third round is not a weak team. There are also active signings in the new season, especially the addition of Cech, which has brought a great improvement to Arsenal.

Fortunately, Klopp still has a week to adjust!

On August 25, the third round of the Premier League officially started.

Liverpool fans are also very aware of the importance of this game, so as many as [-] Liverpool fans traveled with the team. Although only [-] fans were able to enter the Emirates Stadium in the end, these fans still followed the team with great enthusiasm. , even if they can't enter the stadium, as long as they can be in the same city with the team and breathe the air under the same sky, they are satisfied.

In this way, they show their support for the team, tell the team that they are not alone, and that these fans are supporting them.

Soon, players from both sides began to appear.
The cheers from the Gunners fans are to cheer for their own team, and at the same time they are also putting pressure on the visiting team Liverpool.

Tell them, this is Arsenal's home ground, everyone here supports Arsenal, and you, Liverpool, don't even think about getting the slightest advantage here!

In addition to the cheers for the home team, there are boos for the visiting team.

This was especially obvious after the game started. As long as Liverpool players took the ball, there would be a burst of boos in the stands.

When Lin Yi took the ball, the boos were the loudest.

The Arsenal fans in the stands were crazy.

Every time a Liverpool player got the ball, there was a storm of boos.

In the past, Arsenal fans used this kind of storm to cause a lot of trouble for many teams that came to play at the Emirates Stadium. Amid their boos, Arsenal took the lead in the first 8 minutes of the game. French forward Giroud scored the goal. The team opened the scoring.

When Giroud scored, you couldn't hear anything except the cheers in the Emirates Stadium. Even if two people shouted loudly face to face, you could only see his mouth move, but you couldn't hear what he said.
