In the end, at the end of the first half, Stoke City temporarily led Liverpool 2-1 at home.

Stoke City's players looked a little depressed, and they were haunted by the late goal they conceded in the first half, only to be pulled back by Liverpool in the last minute, which cast a shadow over their hearts.

Liverpool's players, on the other hand, looked in a good mood, and their last-minute goal in the first half gave them hope of a comeback!

Reporters in the media gallery and many fans in front of the TV were excited, and as a reference to the wide open and closed attack in the last game of last season, this game is likely to be another goal shootout.

In the away dressing room at the Britannia Alloy Stadium.

Lovren sat in his seat with a heavy heart, and his teammates did not complain about him, but came over to comfort him, not to take the mistakes of the first half to heart, who hasn't used the time of mistakes.

It's just that Lovren was obviously a little preoccupied, just nodded and didn't say much.

"Alright, let Dejan (Dejan. Lovren) be quiet for a moment, he's not feeling well. ”

Jiang Chenxi came out to relieve the siege of Lovren.

It turned out that he was not feeling well, no wonder he made mistakes one after another in the game, and his teammates felt that they knew the reason, and they were stunned.

Jurgen Klopp explained the tactics of the second half of the game.

Towards the end of the halftime break, the players left the locker room under the leadership of Jiang Chenxi and returned to the court.

Jurgen Klopp kept Lovren in order to talk to the favourite, who had been a bit absent-minded since his departure to Stoke City this morning.

"What's going on?" Klopp asked.

Lovren didn't speak at first, Klopp didn't continue to ask, just sat aside, if the players really wanted to say, they would say it, they were all adults, and he didn't want to ask anything, but he didn't want the players to bring off-field factors to the field.

Suddenly, Lovren's eyes were red and he began to cry.

This scared Klopp, Lovren is a real tough guy who can make a tall tough guy break down and cry, what happened?

Jurgen Klopp is even reviewing whether his direct 'merciless' replacement of Lovren today is a bit too cruel.

Then, though, from Lovren's intermittent crying, Klopp knew what was happening.

Seeing the tough guy crying like a child and learning the truth of the matter, Klopp was both angry and sympathetic.

"Don't worry, the club will always be with you! The club's legal department will be with you if you need to! ”

……

The second half of the game has begun, and the commentators and reporters in the media box are surprised that Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has not returned to the dugout, not only Klopp, but Lovren has not returned to the bench, which has also made reporters talk, and some reporters are already thinking about what is happening?

[Klopp and Lovren have an argument in the locker room! ] 】

[Klopp and Lovren fight each other in the locker room! ] 】

[The scene is tragic! 】

Anyway, the more serious the situation, the better!

It wasn't until 51 minutes into the game that Jurgen Klopp stepped out of the tunnel and returned to the dugout, but Lovren did not show up.

The camera also gave a close-up of the Liverpool manager, trying to find clues from the coach's expression.

Klopp's expression is solemn!

Ha!

This also made the reporters excited, and they continued to think about it.

……

At this point, on the pitch, Liverpool completed a successful defense at the back, and then launched a quick counter-attack.

Lucas passes the ball straight to Lallana!

Lallana pulled the ball and turned around, and he went forward, and he chose to break through in a straight line from the middle!

Speed is not Lallana's forte, he took two steps and someone passed by him, and Lallana immediately hit the ball!

This is Mane coming to pick up!

Sadio Mane dribbles the ball forward!

Mane, who strode with the ball, was quick and quickly passed the centre circle and continued to advance.

Stoke City's players scrambled to retreat, while Liverpool's attacking players pressed at full speed.

There were loud boos from the stands again, and the Stoke City fans remembered the fear of being dominated by Liverpool's frenzied second-half attacking counterattack in the final round of last season!

"Stop him!" The Stoke City fans roared wildly.

Salah, Jiang Chenxi and Lallana and Milner on the left wing, four players are running, four straight lines, straight into the direction of the Stoke City penalty area!

Stoke City's defence, under the onslaught of four men, looked porous and tired of defending at the moment.

……

When Mane is dribbling the ball, he is also watching his team-mates' movements.

Salah is being taken care of there, Shaqiri is following him, Stoke City people are very concerned about the connection between Salah and Jiang Chenxi today, the former Basel twin stars are full of tacit understanding, very threatening!

As for Jiang Chenxi? He was even more heavily defended by him, Cameron was running with him, and in the penalty area, Shawcross was already in full swing, and they wanted to encircle Jiang Chenxi!

Only Milner was on the left flank and Lallana on the right in the middle, and the two of them were temporarily unguarded: the Stoke City defenders had clearly taken care of one or the other!

Sadio Mane chooses the left side closest to him!

With a flick of his ankle, he swung the ball straight to the left!

Stoke City right wing-back Glenn Brown is desperately trying to get back on the defensive. Johnson fell to the ground and slid to make a sliding tackle to ruin the pass!

However, he didn't get to touch the football, and he almost passed by the football!

The ball rolls on the turf and Milner accelerates from Glenn who has slid out of the sideline. Johnson's side ran over and caught up with the football!

Let's be honest, Glenn. Johnson's choice to make a sliding tackle was a mistake and he lost the chance to chase and press for Milner, who had the ball!

After finishing the pass, Mane continued to run, ready to cut forward to meet his team-mates, and his forward cut forced Stoke City to split up their already stretched defensive forces to defend him.

"This ball is here!" Klopp clenched his fists on the sidelines, and the opponent's defense had already been torn apart, and he was close to the final blow!

……

Milner, who got the ball, made a false shot and made a gesture to continue down the wing, but suddenly cut inside!

Glenn. Phelan reached for an interception, tripping Milner and stumbling, but he didn't fall to the ground.

Objectively speaking, it was a tripping foul after being breached.

However, the referee had a good grasp of the rhythm of the game, he did not blow the foul, he made gestures, the attack was advantageous, and the game continued!

Milner suddenly sends a through ball with his left foot!

The ball rolls into the box!

Shawcross suddenly falls to the ground for tackle!

His toe touched a football!

The ball changed direction and rolled near the baseline!

Jiang Chenxi is desperately catching up!

Just when everyone thought that the ball was going to go out of the bottom line and Liverpool would get a corner kick opportunity, Jiang Chenxi's speed played to his advantage, and he was able to catch up with the football when it was about to go out of the bottom line, and then he didn't hesitate, a half-turned shovel pass to the ground, sweeping the football to the goal!

……

Mane falls to the ground and sliding!

He rubbed shoulders with football!

Lallana was in the middle and he staggered and kicked the ball into the air without touching the football.

Stoke City's central defender Walhurd also watched the football slide past him, he didn't even dare to make a clearance, he was afraid to score an own goal!

The ball rolls to the back post!

There are no Stoke defenders there!

There was only one man in Liverpool's purple away shirt there!

"This is - Salah !!"

Salah appeared on the course of the football, and Shaqiri, who had been following him all along, was gone!

He's unguarded!

The Egyptian volleys directly against the football!

Stoke City goalkeeper Butland stepped out to make a save, and he felt like he was touching a football, but the close-range shot, and the power, could not change its trajectory even though he touched it.

The ball changed its line slightly and crashed into the net!
