At 7pm the next day, the warm-up match between Liverpool and newly-promoted English Championship champions Leeds United was held as scheduled at Anfield Stadium.
Although this game was a warm-up match, Anfield, which can accommodate more than 50,000 fans, was packed with fans, most of whom were Liverpool fans.
For Liverpool fans, the team's results last season were both satisfying and surprising.
Since the team sold their core tactical player Xavi Alonso in the 2009-2010 season, Liverpool's performance has deteriorated year by year.
In 2010, Liverpool's performance was disastrous. To make matters worse, the club's finances were also on the verge of bankruptcy. Fortunately, a wealthy man purchased Liverpool, thus avoiding the fate of bankruptcy.
But even with huge financial inputs, the team's performance has been up and down in recent years.
Over the years, the team has changed coaches one after another and spent huge sums of money to introduce countless players, but the results have never been stable. The roller coaster-like results really frightened Liverpool fans.
Klopp took over Liverpool last year. At first, Red Army fans were not optimistic about Klopp, even though he is a famous Bundesliga coach.
But after Klopp took over the team, he gave them a big surprise.
Although the team failed to win in the first few rounds of last season, in the subsequent games, the Red Army fans saw the changes in their team, which was a change that made them feel ecstatic.
The Red Army led by Klopp has defeated powerful opponents such as Manchester City and Chelsea.
Not only that, when facing last season's dark horse Leicester City, the Red Army did not lose at all and finally defeated them.
Since then, Liverpool has fully blossomed, its league ranking has steadily improved, and the League Cup and Europa League are also gaining momentum.
Although they ultimately lost the championship in the final, Klopp's transformation of the Red Army satisfied all fans.
Compared with the sluggish Red Army in previous years, the current Croatian Red Army is full of passion and has been infused with the soul of Klopp, a passionate coach.
Klopp is making drastic changes to the team this summer, and he is quite intent on creating the youthful football style he had in Dortmund.
Therefore, Red Army fans flocked to this game. They wanted to know what magical changes would happen to the team that made large-scale signings in this summer window.
Although it is a warm-up match, the game procedures such as shaking hands and choosing sides between the two teams must not be less, and they must be as formal as possible.
But Klopp on the sidelines was not so disciplined. He threw himself on the Leeds United coaching bench, grinning and chatting with Bielsa. You can tell by looking at Bielsa's expression that he was worse than dead.
How annoying.
This game does not receive much attention in England, but it is highly valued in China. It is a pity that this warm-up match was not broadcast live.
This is Mo Yang's first game in the Premier League, and it can be said that it has attracted much attention among Chinese fans and media circles.
Seeing those fifty-six Chinese journalists, you know how much they take it seriously.
After a while, the game started.
Because it was a warm-up match, neither side paid much attention to winning or losing.
After all, the main purpose of the warm-up match is for players to get a feel for the game and practice tactics.
So after the game started, both sides followed the coach's intention and started a crazy offensive battle.
Defense? Doesn’t exist!
Just kidding, I don’t even look at who the head coaches of the two teams are. Bielsa is a famous madman all over the world. His 3313 set almost broke a hole in the world of football.
And when Klopp saw his passionate command and tactics on the sidelines during the game, he knew that he was also a passionate little madman.
When the big and small lunatic teams collided, it created a crazy rhythm at the beginning of the game, which made the fans at the scene climax one after another.
In the 8th minute of the game, Hernandez passed the ball to Harrison at the top of the arc.
But it was intercepted by Matip's long legs.
Liverpool switched from defense to attack, and the ball was handed to Arnold.
Arnold started the attack with the ball from the wing, brought it to the center line, and suddenly made a long pass, directly hoisting the ball to the other side of Leeds United's empty wing. Mane's speed reached the extreme.
But Phillips retreated very promptly, blocking the fatal ribs and preventing Mane from cutting in to pass the ball or hit the goal.
Mane tried several times, but was blocked by Phillips. After taking the ball to the baseline, he had no choice but to pass it back to Coutinho.
Coutinho received the ball in his ribs and immediately made a move to shoot from a long distance. Cooper was so frightened that he rushed out to block the shot.
As a result, after Cooper rushed out, Coutinho quickly lowered his raised right foot. With a deft fried ball, he passed Cooper directly and broke into Leeds United's penalty area. Coutinho took off his foot.
Pass the point later.
Salah jumped high, but unfortunately heading the ball was not the Egyptian Pharaoh's strong point. Dallas took the lead and pushed the ball directly over the baseline.
Seeing Mo Yang walking towards the corner kick, Silvestri was immediately excited.
"Dallas, get closer to the goalpost, and prevent Yang from hanging the door!"
"Phillips, keep an eye on the big black guy next to you!"
"And Koch, Cooper, you have to target their high points for me!"
Silvestri, who was facing a powerful enemy, looked at the Liverpool players in disbelief.
"Man! It's just a corner kick, don't watch it so exaggeratedly!" Henderson looked at Cooper, who was guarding tightly in front of him, with a face that didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"When you get to know Yang thoroughly, come and tell me this again!" Cooper said with a smile, "We have been teammates with Yang for a whole season, and now we very much agree with what our leader said, which is to face Yang like this.
Players, you can never be careless, otherwise the consequences may be tragic!"
"Ha!" Henderson looked stunned after hearing this.
He admitted that Mo Yang passed the ball very accurately, but he shouldn't be so exaggerated!
Mo Yang stood in front of the corner flagpole, glanced at the penalty area, and found that the high points of Matip, Henderson, and Lovren were tightly guarded by Cooper and the others. He immediately grinned with joy. These guys are really special.
How understand him.
After a few glances in front of the restricted area, Mo Yang had an idea.
Slowly taking a few steps back, raising his hand to signal, Mo Yang took a direct run, and then directly hit the middle of the ball with the inside of his left foot.
A low ball was passed directly to Salah who was wandering at the top of the arc in the penalty area.
Salah was a little stunned after receiving the ball, but he quickly understood what Mo Yang meant, quickly adjusted, and shot into the far corner of the goal before anyone came up to press him.
This kick was not very powerful, but it had a full arc. No matter how long Silvestri's hand was, he could not reach it, and he drilled into the goal close to the right post.
"Roar!"
After scoring the goal, Salah seemed very excited and was surrounded by teammates to celebrate.
"Yang! Come here!" Salah waved to Mo Yang.
Mo Yang shook his head. At this time, he felt a little uncomfortable. At the moment Salah scored a goal, the first thing he felt in his heart was not joy, but a feeling of annoyance and loss after losing the goal.
Mo Yang reacted instantly. He knew that this was just the sequelae of leaving Leeds United not long ago. His subconscious role had not yet been completely transformed. He subconsciously regarded himself as a Leeds United player.
Many Leeds United fans came today, numbering in the tens of thousands.
Seeing Mo Yang help Liverpool break through the door of their own team, these fans felt very uncomfortable.
What a good player, but it's a pity that he has already put on the opponent's jersey, but these Leeds fans still gave Mo Yang warm applause.
These applause have nothing to do with goals, victory or defeat, but only for their past glory.
Coach Sibelsa always had a faint smile on his face.
Although at the beginning of the game, he could see that Mo Yang's status in Liverpool was not yet the core, he determined in his heart that it was only a matter of time before Mo Yang became the core of Liverpool, otherwise Klopp would be unqualified as a head coach.
Mo Yang is the most comprehensive midfielder he has seen in recent years. Whether it is vision, ball play or personal breakthrough skills, everything is impeccable.
