Chapter 19: Three consecutive wins in the warm-up

Liverpool played better in the second half than in the first half, especially the team's several reinforcements, which kept using their own practical actions to frantically paste gold on Nan Xiao's face, so that the owner Henry and some senior staff of the club who watched the game at the scene all recognized Nan Xiao's work ability!

Argentine superstar Sergio Aguero was in great form after coming on the pitch, first relying on his strong individual ability to beat several people outside the penalty area before hitting Sergio with a long-range shot. Asenjo guarded the goal, and then leaned on Villarreal central defender Musacchio in the penalty area to play the ball to Ignacio, who is also a new signing this season. Camacho, assist the latter to score a low right-footed shot in the direction of the goal!

Although it was just a pre-season warm-up match, considering that the opponent this time was not weak, and it was all the main force, Aguero's performance of one pass and one shot was still very convincing, and Nan Xiao was naturally very satisfied with the performance of the Argentine! Sergio Aguero's Manchester City side under Pep Guardiola last season did not get the same ironclad starting position as before, especially in the case of Brazilian rising star Gabriel. After Jesus arrived in the team, he gradually fell to the fringes of the team, and even played further than Iheanacho in a few games! Guardiola's approach finally made the Argentine star unbearable, he didn't think that he could not get the main position in this team with his current ability, so in the final stage of last season he also completely fell out with the head coach Guardiola, and Guardiola's coaching philosophy is not to allow players who do not agree with his own concept to stay in the team, just like the Cameroonian star Eto'o when he coached the "Cosmos" Barcelona Barcelona, no matter how strong your ability is, as long as you don't agree with my coaching style, Then I can only ask you to leave the team! Aguero's ability is unquestionable, which is why Nan Xiao asked Yulu to bring the Argentine to the club at any cost. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

After the team had a 4-0 lead, the time of the game also came to 75 minutes, and at this time, Nan Xiao also made the second personnel adjustment of the game! Because there is no limit to the number of substitutions in the friendly match, "times" is used here to describe Nanxiao's substitutions, not "one" in the official game; After another substitution adjustment by Nanxiao, all the starting players were no longer on the field, Belgian striker Divock Origi played another player of the Brazilian twin star Coutinho appeared in the left winger position, and the left-footed Swiss international Shaqiri also replaced Mane as the right winger, which also allowed him to play the advantage of cutting inside in the game; Youngster Halilovic, who has been on loan from Barcelona this season, has replaced Lallana, Emre. Zhan took over captain Jordan Henderson's midfield position, academy youngster Trent Alexander-Arnold replaced Klein, Moreno, who was on the verge of leaving, also got a chance to play, and continued to play at left-back after vice-captain Milner came off, and another reinforcement who did not play in the first personnel change Wiltman also replaced Matip and Manolas to form a center-back combination!

After the second personnel adjustment, Liverpool's offensive has obviously stuck, because although there are new signings on the field before, the team's main framework is still the starter of last season, so there is actually no change in the overall style of play, and several new signings can also be easier to integrate into the team; However, the second substitution adjustment with Coutinho, Mane, Lallana, Henderson and other main frame players down, this Liverpool is basically equivalent to another team, although there are currently Origi, Moreno, Zhan, Arnold These players are still on the field, but their strength is not enough to play according to their style of new signings who are obviously stronger, so at this time Liverpool also seems to have become a four-like team, and the players have reduced a lot of passes due to mutual disagreement, And there are many situations where players rely on their individual ability to do it alone, including Aguero and Shaqiri, two strikers, and Origi, who originally lacked team cooperation, also made the two reinforcements even more non-passing, so Liverpool had a more serious unclear style of play in the attack for a period of time, and during this time, Villarreal also organized several threatening counterattacks, and their leading scorer Bakambu scored twice, Twice pierced the gate behind Kalius!

Although the team conceded two goals in a short period of time, Nan Xiao, who had been standing on the sidelines, didn't care, because he discovered a few things in just a few minutes, and the most important of them was that Origi was really hurt to go out on loan to practice!

In the closing stages of the game, Halilovich, who has always been loved by Nanxiao, also showed his worth by creating a beautiful assist for Shaqiri; He picked up the ball near midfield and found the ball perfectly from Jamie Hou Mei when the Villarreal defence was recovering. Shaqiri sprang past Costa, who coolly fired a low shot into the goalkeeper's back of the net after receiving a clever pass from a team-mate.

Liverpool, who were playing at their training base, were beaten 5-2 by a visiting Villarreal side, who travelled to London a week later to face a warm-up game against Crystal Palace.

After the team defeated the "yellow submarine" that is likely to meet in the Europa League in the future, it was also with a very relaxed and happy mood to go to Portugal to meet the warm-up trip with the two Portuguese Super League teams, and in these two warm-up matches with Braga and Guimaraes respectively, Nan Xiao did not carry out large-scale rotation like the previous game, but honed the main lineup in his current heart, so in this trip to Portugal, Origi, Moreno, Arnold, Wiltman, Kalius also didn't get a minute to play.

Liverpool won the two games with the Portuguese team 4-0 and 5-1 respectively, and Liverpool also made great progress in the tacit understanding of the players in these two games, which is what Nan Xiao wants to see the most, and in the face of Guimaraes, Coutinho and Aguero broke through the defense of the opponent's entire back line and "passed" the ball into the goal. And after leaving Portugal, Liverpool will also take a flight to a country on another continent that they both feel relatively unfamiliar with, Nan Xiao's hometown, China!
