Chapter 47: Equalize! It's that simple!

In the 68th minute of the game, Klopp replaced Shaqiri and Jota with Mane and Salah.

Although he didn't start Salah and Mane in this game, he couldn't let these two main wingers sit for the whole game. He always had to go up and find out the feeling of the game.

After this game, Liverpool will usher in the second round of the Champions League group.

They will travel to Moscow, 3,000 kilometers away, to face last season's Russian Super League champions Spartak Moscow away from home.

After the game restarted, Liverpool, which had been completely formed, launched an offensive.

The situation suddenly flipped, with Liverpool unilaterally attacking Leicester City.

This scene was extremely painful in the eyes of Leicester City fans.

Once upon a time, in their most glorious season, they were the only ones who dominated others. They never thought that the team would end up in this situation after a sudden change of attitude.

Although they were angry, they could not shake the club management's operational strategy.

Now that the glory has passed, all that is left to them are the beautiful memories of the past and the heartache over the team's constant losses.

In the 75th minute of the game, Arnold and Matip worked together to steal the ball from Vardy on the edge of the penalty area and then launched a fast break.

The ball quickly moved to the left half through Mignolet and was handed to Mo Yang by Van Dijk.

When Mo Yang got the ball, he blew the charge horn, dribbled the ball in, crossed the center line and faced Ndidi.

Mo Yang carefully observed the performance of the Nigerian midfielder off the court.

He found that although this guy was not as ghostly as Kanter, he was really not much worse than Kanter in terms of interceptions and steals.

Moreover, this guy also has a strong body. There were several confrontations with Van Dyke in the penalty area in the first half, and Van Dijk was actually at a disadvantage.

Endidi slowly backed away, looked around, and found that his teammates were all at their positions. He was completely relieved and planned to meet Mo Yang head-on.

But soon he realized that he had thought too much, and Mo Yang had no intention of confronting him head-on.

If he knew Mo Yang well enough, he would know that Mo Yang would never do anything stupid like competing with others to see who can slap louder.

Mo Yang, who was running, passed the ball over the top without any warning. The ball fell directly behind Endidi, which was the right rib of Leicester City's penalty area.

Ndidi turned around and followed the movement of the ball!

But when he saw where the ball landed and the position of Morgan on the left next to him, he was immediately frightened.

Because he found that captain Morgan, who was originally on his left and lagging behind, was led by Ibrahimovic to the top of the arc at some point.

In this way, the gap behind him cannot be covered by Morgan, and he can be protected immediately.

As soon as the ball was passed from Mo Yang's side, Mane in front took action. His feet suddenly exploded. With a flick of his left hand, he broke free from the entanglement of Leicester City full-back Simpson and went straight to the spot where the ball landed.

In front of the Leicester City goal, Schmeichel found a loophole in the defense. He took a look at Mo Yang's pass and felt that if the speed of his attack coupled with the inertia of the ball rolling forward, he should be able to get ahead of Mane.

Get the ball.

After making an instant decision, Schmeichel abandoned the goal and ran straight towards the flying ball.

However, when he broke out of the penalty area, Schmeichel was stunned.

Because he discovered that the ball had a tendency to rebound after it hit the ground. From a distance, it looked like it was jumping in place, waiting for Manet to come over.

Now Schmeichel is in trouble! Unable to advance or retreat, he can only grit his teeth and charge forward.

When Mane saw Mo Yang's pass, he immediately experienced the same magical feeling as Salah last time. He just felt that tens of thousands of African elephants Duang Duang were galloping past in his heart.

Originally, he thought that Schmeichel would clear the ball first due to the inertia of the ball touching the ground, but he didn't expect that the secret lies in this.

At this moment, Mane was really convinced. He fell to the ground and was completely convinced!

In full view of everyone, Mane stretched out his foot in front of Schmeichel and shot directly, and the ball fell accurately into Leicester City's goal!

Witnessing the birth of this goal, the Leicester City fans at the scene were all silent. The scene they were afraid to see finally came.

“goal!!!!!”

In the commentary box, Beglin had a horrified look on his face. He was frightened by Mo Yang's weird pass, and he was stunned for a while before yelling out.

In the coaching area, Klopp threw his hat again, this time directly into Peter's face, which made him cry.

Klopp rushed out of the coaching bench, as if he was crazy, took off his glasses and threw them to the ground, running and jumping around like a grasshopper.

In Klopp's eyes, Mo Yang's kick has no secret, it just adds a strong backspin to the ball.

But it’s one thing to know it, and another thing to use it.

Even if many players know the principle, it is often difficult to pass it out on a court where every second counts.

In the history of football, there are only a handful of people who can pass such a ball.

This is the incredible and powerful thing about Mo Yang in Klopp's eyes.

Klopp has lived half his life and has never seen a player like Mo Yang whose assists are as easy as drinking water.

On the court, Mo Yang high-fived Mane, who was running over, and bumped their butts. Then Mane actually danced an African dance, which made Mo Yang amused.

Ibrahimovic ran over and took the two of them into his arms, one in each hand, looking extremely excited.

Although it was not him who scored the goal, it still made Ibrahimovic feel excited.

Ibrahimovic hasn't had this feeling for many years!

No!

To be precise, no midfielder has given him this feeling in many years.

He only had this numb scalp feeling when he was at Barcelona.

At this moment, Ibrahimovic felt that his decision was right. He came to Liverpool at the right time. This kid is the midfielder he is looking for.

The birth of this goal also dispelled the spirit of the Leicester City players to pursue the victory.

But this is their home court after all, and although the spirit is gone, the confidence is still there.

Seeing that his team was at a disadvantage, Shakespeare quickly changed players and adjusted his style of play.

At this time, he regretted not asking the team to start a defensive counterattack as soon as Mo Yang came on the court.

Now that they have been equalized, Liverpool are on the offensive and they are in big trouble.

On the field, Mo Yang found that Leicester City's style of play had changed and he wanted to steal the chicken, so he slowed down the pace of the game slightly. In addition, there was still plenty of stoppage time, about ten minutes, so hurry up!

As a result, the situation on the field was somewhat stalemate, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the balance of the game was slowly tilting towards Liverpool.

Although Leicester City can counterattack from time to time, the threat is mostly small.

The Leicester City fans at the scene were also very worried.

If Liverpool attacks like this, they will lose the ball sooner or later. The lions also have a chance to take a nap, not to mention they are foxes.

In the 88th minute of the game, the Leicester City fans' premonition came true.

Moreno, who replaced Milner, gave Liverpool a side kick close to the corner kick with a cross from the wing.

Upon seeing this similar scene, the Leicester City players, who had fully learned their lesson, quickly selected various defensive targets and did not dare to delay any longer.

Seeing Mo Yang trotting over to catch the ball, Leicester City's defensive players immediately became nervous. They sent two people directly to the edge of the penalty area to mark Mo Yang, and even Mahrez came back.

But Mo Yang watched without realizing it, and still went his own way, waving to Moreno for the ball.
