Chapter 581 The Real Rival

"Yeah, it's not easy, they look too stable."

Kaka next to him nodded.

"Today, the mentality of their players is very good. It makes people feel that they are preparing for a fierce battle." Dior also added.

"That's right." Sun Yi nodded.Today's Liverpool team is really different.

"Today, it may not be easy for us to win them here," Kaka said.

"Do you have any suggestions?" Sun Yi asked.

"I think we can slow down the attack. This attack is too fast, and I am worried that there will be problems with the defense." Kaka thought for a while and said.

"Yes. I think so too. Judging from the current situation, it is not easy for us to break through their goal in a short period of time." Dior said.

"Okay. Heroes see the same thing!" Sun Yi nodded.

After that, Sun Yi stood up and walked to the sidelines, and began to shout to the field: "Steady."

"Everyone, don't worry. Slow down the tempo a little bit and control the ball."

Seeing Sun Yi shouting from the sidelines, Klopp felt a little regretful.

Still let you find the problem.If we continue playing like this, we have a chance.

What a pity!

However, this is also what I expected.If you can't spot it, it's not you.

Following Sun Yi's request, the Southampton team began to slow down their offensive rhythm.

At the same time, some of the formation that was originally pressed higher and higher was recovered.

At first, the players on the Southampton team did not understand Sun Yi's request.

Especially Southampton fans understand the most.

"Why? Didn't you play well? Why change?"

"Obviously we have already suppressed the Liverpool team. If we continue to attack, they will definitely not be able to handle it."

After waiting for a while, the players understood that Sun Yi was right to do so.

After Southampton slowed down, Klopp went to the sidelines and made a gesture, and then Liverpool began to increase their offensive investment.

As the Liverpool team showed some offensive performance, and the entire team formation improved a bit, they soon no longer lost the slightest disadvantage on the scene.

Next, the threats created by the Liverpool team increased significantly.

Unlike the previous counterattacks, these threats were all kicked out in positional warfare.

Today, Salah and Mane are very active on both sides.Their speed and technique allowed them to put a lot of pressure on Southampton's defense on the wing.

And more importantly, this time, Mane and Salah did not give up, but cooperated sincerely.The two also switch positions from time to time.

This makes Southampton even more difficult to defend.

The sincere cooperation of these two people, coupled with Firmino in the middle, the gate of Southampton team began to be dangerous.

It can be said that after the Liverpool team strengthened their offense, they fully utilized their offensive firepower.

This makes Liverpool's attacking front look comparable to Southampton's.

For a while, the two sides entered a stalemate.And it was the kind of stalemate that was completely evenly matched.

For such a situation, Liverpool fans are very happy.

"Wow! It's so beautiful. We played so well."

"Before the game, I was worried that our team would be like Manchester City, unable to fight back against Southampton. I didn't expect to play so well."

"Look, our offense also created a lot of murderous opportunities. We have a chance in this game!"

The fans felt hopeful, especially the Liverpool players on the field.

The hope of defeating Southampton also boosted their morale.At the same time, the momentum is constantly rising.

And this increase in confidence also made the Liverpool players more and more excited.The performance has also become more and more aggressive.

When the game was deadlocked to No. 205 minutes, Liverpool got an offensive opportunity.

First of all, Salah kept putting pressure on the guarding Saar on the left.

After attracting Southampton's defensive attention, Salah suddenly made a long pass and transferred the ball to Mane on the Southampton's right.

The transfer of Salah's foot was very sudden, and it still had the charm of the Southampton team's defense zone bypass.

As the main defensive attention is drawn to the left, this allows Mane to easily unload and create a threat.

Mane also did not give Arnold a chance to defend. After rushing to the bottom line, a rapid low pass was passed to the goal.

"boom!"

Pavard was very active, he grabbed the first point before Firmino.

It's just that his tackle turned into a tackle by accident, hitting his own goal.

This made Casillas unable to remedy at all, and could only watch the ball fly into the goal.

"GOAL!!!!!!"

"Mane's pass made Pavard's own goal!!!"

The entire Anfield stadium was boiling.Everyone in the Liverpool team cheered with ecstasy.

Although this goal was scored by Paval's own goal, it is enough to lead Southampton to make them happy.

Of course, the main credit for this ball comes from Mane.There is also Salah, who cooperates sincerely and is willing to share the ball.

"Oh no. We were behind. And it was an own goal."

The opponent is cheering.The louder the noise, the more frustrating it was for the Southampton team.

To be honest, the Southampton team never thought they would be behind before the game.

In their view, even if Liverpool cannot be completely suppressed like Manchester City, it should be no problem to gain an advantage and lead.

Who would have thought that it would be the other way around.

This is still a blow to Southampton supporters.

However, everyone didn't know that Pavar's own goal could not be blamed for this ball.

If Paval hadn't shoveled the ball, Firmino behind would definitely seize the opportunity.

The problem with this goal is not the own goal.

The real question lies in Liverpool's ability to break Southampton's door in a positional battle.

This is the biggest problem that the Southampton team will face next.

"I have to say that Liverpool's offense is well organized." Sun Yi sighed helplessly.

"Yeah. Sun, do you feel it. Their offense is very similar to ours?" Dio said.

"I think so too. If they weren't wearing Liverpool jerseys, I almost thought we were playing." Kaka also said.

Hearing what Kaka and Dior said, Sun Yi thought it was true.So he nodded and said, "Really. Did they copy our tactics?"

Regardless of whether Liverpool are copying Southampton's tactics.

But one thing is clear.

"Regardless of the facts, this Liverpool team is definitely our real opponent now."
