Chapter 36: Spurs

At 13:25, under the leadership of referee Michael Oliver, the players from both sides stepped onto the court.

"Welcome everyone to watch the first game of the fifth round of the 2018-19 Premier League season brought to you by pp Sports, the focus of the battle between Tottenham and Liverpool."

"The starting lineups of both sides in this game are..."

Tottenham:(442)

Goalkeeper: Vorm

Defenders: Trippier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose

Midfielder: Eriksen, Dier, Dembele, Winks

Forwards: Kane, Lucas

"Based on the previous four games, Pochettino's 442 should still have a hidden secret." Zhang Lu looked at Tottenham's first game on the screen and said with a smile.

Zhan Jun nodded and said: "Tottenham scored a total of 9 goals in the first four league games and only conceded two goals. Judging from these four games, has Pochettino's 442 been successful? We are now very

It’s hard to judge, but at least it hasn’t failed yet.”

Liverpool:(433)

Forwards: Jota, Firmino, Salah

Midfielder: Chamberlain, Henderson, Mo Yang

Defenders: Robertson, Gomez, Matip, Alexander-Arnold

Goalkeeper: Alisson

"Liverpool's side is still Klopp's 433 that remains unchanged forever!"

"Chamberlain, Zhang Juzheng, Maggie Cheung, this is his first start after moving to Liverpool, and finally he got his wish and played in the middle!"

"Haha!" Zhang Lu laughed when he heard Zhan Jun's ridicule, "Actually, there are still changes, and they are very obvious. We all know that in the Liverpool games a few years ago, in addition to the iron blood, we could also see the excitement and passion.

"

"But in the five games of Liverpool in the new season, we have seen that Liverpool has become more mature. He is still full of unlimited passion, but he is more sophisticated and cold-blooded in his response to the game!"

"Cold-blooded?!" Zhan Jun looked surprised.

Zhang Lu nodded and said: "Yes, cold-blooded. Look at the match between them and Leicester City. After the surging passion in the first half, even though they were equalized in the second half, they were still calm and controlled the rhythm of the game.

In his own hands, he suddenly exerted force in the last ten minutes of the game and killed Leicester City in one go!"

"This season, just in these few games, Liverpool gives me the feeling that they are completely mature, sophisticated and cold-blooded, and even more terrifying!"

At exactly 13:30, with the whistle of referee Michael Oliver, the focus of the fifth round of the Premier League officially started.

After the game started, Mo Yang set his sights on Tottenham's midfield, and found that it was exactly what Klopp said before the game, and Mo Yang knew it.

"Sure enough, Pochettino continued the tactical thinking of the previous games. Eriksen's position is just behind Lucas and Kane. His position is more similar to an attacking midfielder. His main responsibility should be to provide Kane with

He and Lucas are delivering cannonballs, and behind him are the three defensive midfielders, Dell!"

"Diamond midfielder!" Zhan Jun laughed.

Zhang Lu nodded, "This kind of diamond-shaped midfielder and strong defense in the middle will probably make Liverpool very uncomfortable, but that may not be the case in other places."

As Zhang Lu finished speaking, Liverpool's murderous intent suddenly appeared on the field.

At 1 minute and 08 seconds into the game, Liverpool got a sideline ball near the midfield line of the half.

Robertson sent the ball and threw it directly to Gomez in front of the right rib area.

Gomez stepped on the ball and waited for Lucas to press forward before calmly pushing the ball back to Robertson.

Robertson was also unhurried, waiting for Lucas to come up before pushing Van Dijk back.

Lucas knew that these two guys were trying to trick him, so he slowed down.

But at this moment, Gomez suddenly turned around and dribbled the ball backwards. After running a few steps, he suddenly moved laterally to the right half.

Arnold retreated and turned around early to stop the ball. Seeing that Winks was not coming up, he raised his right foot and kicked it directly. It was a long pass to Mo Yang who switched positions with Salah on the right side of the frontcourt.

Arnold had great ideas and his delivery was accurate.

But Tottenham left center back Vertonghen was right behind Mo Yang and did not dare to let down his guard.

Seeing the ball coming, Vertonghen, who was also facing the ball, stuck to Mo Yang from the right side, using his hands and feet together, pushing up and down, but he was stunned and could not get Mo Yang away from the landing point.

Seeing that the ball had fallen, Vertonghen changed the target and planned to destroy the ball before Mo Yang, but the next second he saw a familiar scene again.

Because Mo Yang's outstretched foot was right on his foot, about a fist high.

In Vertonghen's sight, Mo Yang's extended left ankle flicked, and the outside instep passed the ball out.

At this moment, Vertonghen thought of the fear of being dominated when he played against Mo Yang for the first time in the Premier League, and thought of Mo Yang's miraculous skill of predicting your predictions.

In full view of everyone, the ball was passed back by Mo Yang, making a small arc and just bypassing Danilos in front of Mo Yang as if it was alive.

Danilos, who cut off the connection between Mo Yang and Salah, was not prepared. He did not expect that Mo Yang would force a pass back to Salah on the center line. When he saw the ball rolling towards Salah, he immediately rushed forward.

But at this moment, Salah, who was on the center line of the wing, kept the ball on the spot and came straight forward along the sideline and passed the ball over the top.

At the same time, Mo Yang had completed his turn and successfully blocked Vertonghen behind him.

At this moment, Firmino and Jota, who were standing parallel to each other on the left and right of the center circle, started to advance forward almost at the same time. One rushed towards Alderweireld, and the other rushed towards Trippier who was in the middle.

Seeing his old partner Vertonghen out of position behind him, Alderweireld was about to move to the wing to block Mo Yang, but he saw Firmino and didn't dare to move.

Unable to move.

In the coaching bench on the sidelines, Pochettino rushed directly to the coaching area the moment Salah passed the ball, obviously frightened.

But when he saw that the ball's flight trajectory was not far away, Pochettino breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before he could catch his breath, something happened again on the field.

Finding that Salah's pass was a bit out of standard, Moyang, who was pulled and pushed by Vertonghen behind him, ran to the sideline where he landed, jumped directly and rubbed the ball towards Phil, who was coming from the center on the left to support him.

Mino.

"Musa, look at him!

"

Vertonghen pointed at Moyang and quickly left the wing, moving closer to Alderweireld, trying to flank Firmino who was facing him and stopping the ball with his chest.

Firmino clearly knew what would happen if he stopped the ball at his feet.

So he didn't wait for the ball to touch the ground. Facing the sideline, he raised his right foot to the left and sent the ball to the sideline, right in front of Mo Yang who was sprinting along the sideline.

Because Danilos came up to grab Salah, Moussa Dembe came to fill his place at this time.

Dengbei came right behind Mo Yang, obviously just a few feet away, but he chased all the way but couldn't catch up.

Fortunately, Vertonghen came out in time and blocked Mo Yang on the side road.

After Dembe came to see it, he gave up the pursuit and drew in his ribs to protect.

On the right wing of the penalty area, after Mo Yang caught up with the bouncing ball, he did not choose to go to the bottom of the ball. Instead, he suddenly used his right foot to smash the falling ball out. After turning around, he immediately followed up and pocketed the ball directly.

Enter the restricted area.

On the right end line of the small penalty area, Trippier and Alderweireld were staring at each other.

Seeing the ball coming, four people jumped forward at the same time, but hell, none of the four people hit it. The ball flew into the upper corner of the small penalty area on the right side. Jota and Alderweirer were on the right side of Trippier.

De's middle bounced and then went straight to the back post.

Worm, who came close to block the shooting angle, was miserable and was fooled into pieces.

In full view of everyone, the ball bounced twice in the small penalty area, hit the right side of the back post and bounced into the goal.

"boom!

!

!

!

!”

The moment the goal was scored, the White Hart Lane stadium, which can accommodate more than 62,000 players, fell silent.

Then there was a burst of cheers mixed with violent wailing.

"goal!

!

!

!

!

!

!”

"The ball went in!

!”

“Mo Yang’s third goal in the Premier League this season!

!" Zhan Jun shouted, "Liverpool's dream start! This is the true nature of the Red Army!"

"It's like a message, it's like a shot! Mo Yang, it's another fairy ball!" Zhang Lu applauded.
