Chapter Seventy-Seven: Winning the Game

In the second half, Jurgen Klopp made a not-so-good decision when he brought on Philippe Coutinho for Jordan Henderson.

Coutinho is a Brazilian player who is good at dribbling, shooting, passing and is an out-and-out attacking player who has some disadvantage on the defensive end.

Obviously, Klopp feels that Liverpool's counter-attacking ability is slightly weaker and needs Coutinho to counteract.

But problems also come with it.

Liverpool's sweeping midfield line-up was not as efficient as it could be.

Emre. Jane and Wijnaldum became difficult to resist Tottenham's midfield attack, especially with Yile being much less restrictive.

In the words of the on-site commentator Lawrence: "Coutinho is a good player, but Liverpool's lineup in the attacking end is obviously not comparable to Tottenham, Coutinho is difficult to compete with Yi, and this substitution will lay the groundwork for Liverpool." ”

Sure enough, after 68 minutes, the problem arose.

A presumptuous move from Coutinho led to a fleeting gap in the middle.

What Tottenham do best is this ability to pick up gaps.

At this moment, everyone reacted.

Higuain pulled to the left, preventing the defence from shrinking towards the middle, and Ibrahimovic pulled to the right, knowing that he was not a player with speed, so he took the initiative to concede this opportunity.

Son Heung-min chose to top the front position while seeing the gap.

And the moment he started, Yi Le's through ball had already been delivered.

This through ball directly shredded Liverpool's defence, causing Son Heung-min to make a one-on-one shot.

Son Heung-min was so fast that he didn't give Liverpool's backline a chance to foul at all, and after winning the ball, he quickly made adjustments, went straight into the penalty area, and struck into the bottom right corner before the goalkeeper could pounce.

The ball rolls into the gate at the feet of Liverpool goalkeeper Milneo.

Tottenham finally capitalised on Liverpool's mistake and scored a goal to make it 1-0.

"This is Tottenham! Never give us a chance, a small mistake and we can all convert it into a goal! ”

'A kick-off from Coutinho made Liverpool's half-time defence useless, maybe all Liverpudlian wanted was a draw, but Tottenham refused to do so!'

"Victory! Tottenham just need to win! ”

"Well done, boys!"

Lawrence waved his arms excitedly, and the clean goal was a huge morale boost.

Liverpool dragged on for a full 68 minutes, but they still inevitably made mistakes.

And this mistake is inevitable from a certain point of view.

Tottenham put too much attacking pressure on them.

It's a huge test of mentality with the players.

Pressed and kicked for more than 60 minutes, they also wanted to fight back, and it was in this rush that they made mistakes.

A small gap and Tottenham directly converted him into a goal!

......

Boas clapped softly from the sidelines, smiling and visibly pleased with his disciples' performance.

Tottenham are very sensitive to space, because of Yile's feeding, they have a very clear idea of the timing of forward insertion and running, and they cooperate selflessly.

Higuain couldn't break into the centre circle on the left and he made a decisive pull.

Ibrahimovic knew he wasn't going to be fast, so he took the initiative to give up his position and pull the edge towards the right, so that Liverpool's gap in the middle could not be filled.

Son Heung-min took the lead and used his speed to chase Yi Le's through ball, resulting in this goal.

That's a team win!

......

Klopp shook his head helplessly, he didn't think it was a wrong decision to bring on Coutinho.

It's just that Coutinho can show the ability he wants.

His instructions to Coutinho were to play high balls and defend first.

But after another performance, Coutinho ventured.

There's no way around it, Krup can't control the players' minds, everyone makes mistakes, it's just that Tottenham's ability to take chances is a little too strong.

Let Tottenham score first, and the game is basically over.

For a team like Tottenham, it would be difficult for them to regain control of the situation once they had an advantage, let alone move back to the disadvantage.

Among the Premier League teams, there is a consensus.

Against Tottenham, it's better to disrupt the rhythm of the opposition in the first half, or choose to defend the whole game, and definitely not give Tottenham an advantage, they are too strong to finish the game after scoring first.

This is the summary of countless teams in the game, even the big teams against Tottenham.

......

In the field footage, Sun Xingmin climbed on Yi Le's back and waved his arms vigorously.

He looked excited, and Son Heung-min had not scored for two rounds.

In the end, the two high-fived and celebrated, and the game resumed.

After Tottenham gained the upper hand, their attack became sharper and sharper.

The Liverpool players secretly gritted their teeth, these insatiable guys, one is enough, and how many more do you want to score?

Coutinho didn't dare to take any further risks and played honestly defensively.

Finding the front of the pitch when they had the opportunity meant Liverpool to play a good counter-attack or two, but they still couldn't get close to Tottenham's big box.

N'Golo Kante and Alderved defended to be frustrated.

The game lasted 90 minutes, and the two sides maintained a score of 1:0, and finally the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

......

The White Hart Lane stadium erupted in applause, and the current Tottenham fans are extremely happy.

They like the current team, young and energetic, always dare to fight, and enthusiastic team.

Yi Le also raised his hands and applauded as he walked towards the players' tunnel.

At this moment, there was a sudden call behind him.

"Easy!"

Yi Le turned his head to look at Liverpool player Divock Origi.

The Belgian, with dreadlocks on his head and shirtless, trotted over with his jersey in his hand.

Yi Le immediately reacted, the other party wanted to exchange jerseys.

Yi Le took off his jersey and handed it over.

"You're doing a great job!" Origi gave a thumbs up.

Yi Le smiled and said, "You also played very well." ”

Origi rolled his eyes and said, "Do you want to come to Liverpool?" ”

Yi Lelen paused for a moment, then showed his trademark smile.

"Hehe..."

"What do you mean by laughing? Let me know if you want to come. ”

"Hehe..."

"Okay, I kind of get it."

"Hehe..."

Origi: "........"

The Belgian suddenly felt that this smile was a little hateful, and although Yi Le was just laughing, his mood was inexplicably very bad.

There wasn't much to say about the game after the game.

Most people's eyes are drawn away by the upcoming Champions League.

Heading into February, the impact of the Champions League last-16 tie has put most people's eyes on it.

And the Paris Saint-Germain vs Tottenham Hotspur match also warmed up early.

The Sun newspaper also came alive.

"Neymar VS Yi!"

"It's a talkative contest! It's worth more than the two teams themselves. ”

"One is a talented player of the Samba Army, and the other is a super midfielder who has been rumored in Europe in the past two years!"

"Their confrontation is destined to be the focus of everyone."

"Yi and Neymar also have a tortuous grudge!"

"Yi is a product of La Masia's academy, and his place in Barcelona was squeezed out by Neymar, but now that the Brazilian has left Barcelona, the red and blue have started chasing Yi again."

"Obviously, after a remedy, Barcelona also understood that outsiders are outsiders after all, Yi is their own person, they are the players they have cultivated, and they want to take this super midfielder home, so as to solve the problem of Barcelona's weak midfield."

"But it's easier said than done, PSG have made many high-profile displays of love, and their huge money will be a hindrance, and Barcelona will have to pay too much price if they want to take it home."

"And around Yi, Neymar, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, this game will be a key!"

The Sun is starting to make trouble!

In fact, they also understand that it is not Neymar who squeezes out Yile, and their two positions do not overlap.

But it's a gimmick to write like this!

And it's also a fact that Paris Saint-Germain is chasing Yile with Barcelona!

Although it has not yet been shown, after entering the summer, with the lifting of Yile's 'two-season non-transfer clause', this super midfielder will flow into the transfer window, which is bound to cause competition from many big clubs.
