Chapter 106 Liverpool who dropped the line collectively!
On August 7, in the third round of the Premier League, the entire Liverpool team traveled to North London to face Tottenham away from home.
Tottenham Hotspur, whose full name is Tottenham Hotspur, has a long history of building a team. Although it is not a traditional giant in the Premier League, it is an established and powerful team in the Premier League.
After entering the 1st century, Tottenham has basically been in the top ten every season. This is a team that extremely advocates offense.
In the past few years since the 2009-10 season, Tottenham have been in the top six every year. No one in the Premier League dares to look down on this North London team.
Last season, due to Klopp's sudden emergence, Tottenham were kicked out of the top six by Liverpool and lost their spot in the Champions League.
Therefore, in this game, Tottenham fans were somewhat resentful towards Liverpool, who came all the way.
At the new White Hart Lane Stadium, the game is about to start in half an hour, and Mo Yang and the others are warming up before the game.
"Yang! Don't you have hearing? You were able to sleep so soundly due to the noise last night!"
Salah stood next to Mo Yang and raised his legs and twisted his hips together, but his face looked a little tired. God knows what he went through last night.
"What? Didn't you sleep well last night?" Mo Yang smiled.
"It's not that I didn't sleep well, it's that I didn't sleep at all!" Salah looked angry when he mentioned this. "Those fans were really mean. They set off fireworks from time to time outside the hotel and made me unable to sleep at all!"
"Yeah! Andrew and I didn't sleep much last night either!"
"Those police officers are obviously biased towards those Tottenham fans!"
At this moment, Mane and Robertson, who also looked tired, came over and started complaining.
After hearing this, Mo Yang raised his head and glanced at his teammates on the field. He found that Henderson was not in good spirits, and he suddenly became a little worried.
Away games have always been a life-and-death enemy for every team, and there are too many factors that can affect players.
For example, the fan harassment last night, as well as the climate, altitude, stadium, on-site atmosphere, the players' psychology, and some small tricks of the home team, etc., will all lead to the failure of the away game.
A little carelessness could lead to a huge defeat!
"Hush!"
At this moment, nearly 60,000 Tottenham fans at the scene booed, and Mo Yang frowned. He had a hunch that today's game would be difficult.
【bite!】
【Task released!】

After a while, the pre-match warm-up was over and Mo Yang walked towards the locker room.
Suddenly I heard the sound of the mission announcement, and I was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of my mouth twitched crazily.
Help Henderson get a hat trick! Why doesn’t this dog system let him go to the sky and pick the moon?
Yes! This second task was purely made by the system to make fun of him.
For this kind of task, Mo Yang never forces it. It would be nice to have the opportunity to complete it.
Mo Yang wouldn't force it if he didn't have the chance, he didn't want to affect the game.
Mo Yang was still a substitute in this game, but this time he had company.
For some unknown reason, Klopp put Matip, Robertson, Alexander-Arnold, Firmino and others on the bench.
Liverpool’s lineup is: 4
Forwards: Mane, Sturridge, Salah
Midfielder: Coutinho, Henderson, Emre Can
Defenders: Milner, Klavan, Lovren, Clyne
Goalkeeper: Karius.
And Tottenham’s formation is: 41
Forward: Kane
Attacking midfielder: Lamela, Alli, Eriksen
Midfielder: Dier, Wanyama
Defenders: Danny Rose, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Walker.
Goalkeeper: Lloris
In the press area on the sidelines, media from the three parties gathered, but the largest number of people were Chinese media, followed by South Korea, and the British media was the least.
Because of Mo Yang and Son Heung-min, who moved to Tottenham last year, this match was extremely hyped by the media in China and South Korea a few days ago.
South Korea directly put the words "Asian Derby" in the title.
The domestic media, on the other hand, are relatively shameless and implicitly talked about a 'China-South Korea war', which left many domestic fans who didn't know what was going on and were confused.
As a result, when the match list was released, the media from both sides were in awe.
The person they wanted to see in the Asian Derby, Quan Te Miao, became the water fountain keeper, which was a bit embarrassing.
At 1:00 noon local time, the game officially started.
Within the first ten minutes, Liverpool's disadvantage in away games was highlighted.
In Mo Yang's eyes, Salah and the others seemed to be a little out of their minds.
Not only was the handling of the ball procrastinated, but the offense and defense also made mistakes one after another, as if they were collectively disconnected.
"I'm going to suffer!" Mo Yang muttered in his heart.
"Damn it! Are you sleepwalking?"
"Cheer up, everyone!"
Hearing Klopp's roar, Mo Yang looked over.
At this time, Klopp in the coaching area was already furious. From time to time, he would suddenly rush to the sideline and roar, looking as if he wanted to eat people.
"Our players seem to have not entered the state yet. This is really bad news. No matter which team, playing away from home is a problem. Now we can only hope that these little guys can adapt as soon as possible!"
In the live commentary box, Berglin saw that Liverpool's overall performance was very confused, and his face was full of helplessness.
He stayed in a hotel with the team last night and knew what happened. I can only say that Tottenham fans were really a little too much.
On the court, facing Tottenham's full-court press, Liverpool's offense was completely unable to play, and its defense was also in danger.
Moreover, Tottenham not only pressed fiercely, but their defensive actions were also brutal. Mo Yang was shocked to see the aggression displayed by every player in the defense.
Less than five minutes into the game, Tottenham's leading striker Kane had already scored three times with Alli, Eriksen, and Lamela taking turns delivering artillery shells.
If not for Karius's super performance, Liverpool would have conceded the goal.
Soon, bad luck befell Liverpool.
Fifteen minutes into the game, Tottenham, who had been unable to attack for a long time, got the first left corner kick.
When defending in the penalty area, Lovren didn't know what to think. He didn't see Ali who was not far away from him. His old habit of missing people happened again.
Lamela, who was taking the corner kick, saw this magical scene and without even thinking about it, he directly kicked the ball backwards.
Ali faced the incoming ball, jumped up and hammered the ball into the Liverpool goal.
On the bench, Mo Yang and Matip looked at each other, and both saw the incredible look in their eyes. For a central defender, this was an extremely low-level mistake.
"Sure enough, it's Lefulun. A man as big as Ali is standing behind him, but he doesn't feel anything at all. What is this guy thinking? Doesn't he look back?"
In the domestic LeTV live broadcast room, Zhan Jun was filled with anger when he saw this goal.
"Liverpool was completely out of shape in this game, including Salah and Mane who performed well in the first half, and Coutinho in the midfield. Under Tottenham's aggressive and aggressive defense,
He immediately became invisible. Fifteen minutes have passed since the game, and as the core of the offense, he has not even organized an attack!"
Zhang Lu chuckled and struck Zhan Jun directly in the heart.
Zhan Jun ignored Zhang Lu and said with a puzzled face: "I don't understand, Mo Yang's performance was perfect whether it was against Arsenal or Burnley, why Klopp didn't use him! What is the reason?
?”
"In terms of offensive organization, Mo Yang is really far ahead of this Brazilian!" Zhan Jun said angrily.
The Tottenham fans at the scene were extremely relieved to see Liverpool, the main culprit of losing their spot in the European Cup, being pinned to the ground and rubbed by their own team.
Since Pochettino took over Tottenham, Tottenham fans can clearly see the changes in the team.
In the past two years, the team's offense has become more and more varied, and its defense has become better and better.
Especially with the two top central defenders in Alderweireld and Vertonghen, the team's defense is as stable as a dog. (To be continued)
