During the halftime break, Mo Yang received Klopp's instructions and put on a yellow vest.
Being moved to the substitute team, Mo Yang's situation immediately improved a lot.
Although he still didn't get the ball many times, the players on the substitute team at least didn't resist or specifically target him. It was just distrust caused by simple unfamiliarity.
It's simple. Perret once said, use strength to conquer them. Football coaches use results to speak, while players use strength.
Soon the opportunity Mo Yang had been waiting for appeared.
The main team relied on short passes to slowly penetrate into the substitute team's penalty area, and then handed the ball to Coutinho.
As a result, Coutinho fired a shot directly outside the penalty area, but Gomez raised his foot to block it.
The ball hit Gomez's feet, and by chance it bounced directly behind Mo Yang near the right rib of the penalty area, like a pass.
Mo Yang quickly turned around to chase the ball, and Henderson, who was lagging behind, also quickly moved over to fight for the top.
But Henderson was a little far away, and by the time he got closer to Mo Yang, he had lost his best position to fight for the ball.
But Henderson is not a simple figure to be the captain of Liverpool.
This guy is known as the ball-blind filter. You can't tell how good he is, but you can see him at critical moments.
Henderson wanted to use his strong body to knock Moyang away, but after he bumped into him, he found that he couldn't move the kid.
He was very surprised. This kid looked thin, but he didn't expect to be so explosive, so Henderson changed his strategy.
Mo Yang didn't dare to be careless at all. He found that Henderson was very capable of following and defending, and his fighting ability was also very strong, just like a piece of dog skin plaster.
Just when the ball was about to fall, just when everyone thought Mo Yang would stop the ball, they saw Mo Yang suddenly jump towards the ball and hit the ball hard with his head.
The ball took off again, like a cruise missile, flying directly into the unoccupied space on the right wing.
Two seconds later, Salah rushed in at high speed, hit the ball and accelerated again.
Salah, who is sprinting with the ball, is like a sharp knife, diagonally thrusting into the penalty area of the main team. Mane on the other side is not slow either.
Therefore, Lovren and Matip, who are returning to defense, can only focus on each other, and they have to prevent Olic and Wijnaldum from intervening in the middle.
Seeing that Salah had no intention of passing the ball, Lovren smiled inwardly, but when Salah came to him with the ball, he stopped laughing.
Salah made a simple change in speed, changed direction and accelerated again. He passed him alive simply and roughly, and then shot with a sudden kick.
Seeing the ball blast into the net from the near corner, Salah roared, turned around and ran towards Mo Yang, jumping directly onto Mo Yang.
"Yang! You're great! You can stuff this kind of ball!"
Mane and Wijnaldum also gathered around, laughing so happily.
Especially Wijnaldum, who is also a midfielder. He was just thinking about what he would do with this kind of ball if it were him just now.
But after thinking about it, he felt that he should choose to stop the ball. In his opinion, Mo Yang's head-on pass just now was too whimsical.
But he succeeded, and the accuracy of the pass made his scalp numb.
"Yang! Give me a few passes like this later!" Mane also grinned. This ball shook him hard.
He could see very clearly that Mo Yang was tightly entangled by Henderson at that time, and the two of them kept fighting.
But even in this difficult situation, Mo Yang still passed the ball in an unimaginable way, and he passed it so accurately that he had to surrender!
"You should pay more attention to the gap behind them, I will try my best to pass it!" Mo Yang also had a smile on his face and a very humble tone. This goal also dispelled a lot of depression in his heart.
"Genius-like imagination and creativity!" Klopp grinned on the sidelines. He really didn't expect that Mo Yang would pass the ball like this.
"Just for this through header, this little guy is worth 20 million pounds!" Carragher said with admiration.
"The physical confrontation ability is also very good. He can actually hold up Henderson. I am becoming more and more curious about this little guy!" Pete also smiled.
On the other hand, the main team on the field all had wry smiles on their faces, as if they had seen a ghost, and they could still hit it so accurately with their heads, so it was not like they were seeing a ghost.
Sturridge had a gloomy look on his face. The reason why he targeted Mo Yang was actually not for Mo Yang, but for Klopp.
Ever since he was informed by the club that he had to either transfer or stay as a substitute, Sturridge was filled with anger and nowhere to vent his anger.
He wants to prove to Klopp that he can still score goals.
But now, he suddenly felt a sense of frustration that he was really old.
Especially the visually impactful speed of Salah and Mane just now reminded him of himself back then.
In fact, it wasn't that he didn't react to Mo Yang's pass in the first half, but that he simply couldn't catch up. That's why he scolded Mo Yang when he got angry, but in fact, he was scolding himself.
At this moment, Sturridge really realized that football is a young man's game.
You have to admit it when you are old, otherwise you will just bring shame on yourself!
This goal completely changed Mo Yang's situation. In the following games, Mo Yang felt as if he was back at Leeds United.
On the bench side, the ball will basically be handed over to Mo Yang.
And Mo Yang lived up to this trust and frequently sent through balls for the two wingers, Mane and Salah, to chase them.
It’s a pity that the main team is not vegetarian either!
In the 83rd minute, Coutinho relied on his outstanding personal skills to cause chaos in Moyang's penalty area, and then sent a through ball to assist Firmino to score and equalize the score.
Because it was a competitive match, both sides were very relaxed until the end.
And Mo Yang and Coutinho, the two core offensive players, seemed to be more powerful, frequently organizing efficient attacks.
In the 88th minute, the substitute team once again seized the opportunity and forced a steal from Sturridge in the backcourt. Then Robertson directly stuffed the ball in front of Mane and organized an attack.
Mane started to speed immediately after receiving the ball, but Arnold was not slow either and kept biting Mane.
Until the two came to the bottom line, Mane was unable to get rid of Arnold.
"Sadio!"
Just when Mane wanted to use his body to break through and cut inside, he heard Mo Yang's voice and without hesitation, he knocked the ball back to Mo Yang, who was unmarked.
"Yang is in a good position. There is no marker in front of him for the moment. He can shoot directly. If the angle is tricky enough, it will be difficult for Karius to hit it!" Shooting coach Achtberg analyzed.
Klopp laughed when he heard it and said: "I'll tell you a joke!"
"Yang will shoot!!" Klopp was overjoyed after saying this.
The members of the coaching staff on the side didn't understand what the point of the joke was, but they could only give the boss some face and laugh along, otherwise it would be embarrassing for him to laugh alone.
But at this moment, Mo Yang flicked the ball with his right foot, then ran a few steps towards the ball. When Matip came up, he directly hit the ball with his outside instep, and actually shot directly.
"Gah!..."
Klopp's laughter stopped suddenly, and his face was stunned, and then full of anger. This kid actually dared to waste an offensive opportunity.
But the next second, Klopp saw the ball shot by Mo Yang suddenly change its flight trajectory in mid-air, suddenly turning from the left side of the goal to the right side of the goal, and then went straight in, making the net roar.
Trembling.
Listening to the cheers of the substitute players, Klopp stared blankly at the ball bouncing in the net, and was immediately petrified, including the members of the coaching staff around him, who had collective dementia! The arc of this ball is so dazzling!
In front of the goal, Karius had a wry smile on his face. He was really not to blame for the goal.
Just now, he discovered Mo Yang's long shot from outside the penalty area, and quickly determined that the route was to the right side of the goal. Who knows, the ball turned askew after he moved over, and went directly in from his left side, shooting with the outside of his instep.
Coutinho stood in front of the top of the arc, looking a little gloomy as he watched Mo Yang celebrating with his teammates.
At first, he felt that Klopp brought in a so-called British Championship midfielder purely to serve as a substitute.
But when he got to know Mo Yang, he no longer felt that way. He was keenly aware that this kid would threaten his position and even replace him.
Although he was not inferior in terms of personal breakthrough skills, he vaguely felt that Mo Yang was stronger, so there was no need to compare with his passing skills. He could not pass with the precision of precise guidance.
At this moment, Coutinho is a little frustrated!
Although he is also hailed as a Brazilian genius, he has to admit that there is a gap between geniuses, but he will not admit defeat.
He also has advantages that Mo Yang does not have, which is a lot of game experience and his ability to score goals. He is not afraid of anyone in terms of shooting.
But Coutinho doesn't know that there is a kind of genius in this world who can gain as much experience as others from playing one game.
