Chapter 721 Klopp's thoughts

For Southampton, their next opponent, Liverpool, is also a hurdle they must overcome.

After all, although they have won [-] consecutive victories, considering that only Manchester United is the top seven team, their current advantage is not safe, and Manchester City is very strong in this respect. Apart from being tied by Everton One game away, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Arsenal have all lost at their feet. If Southampton is defeated by Liverpool, then not only will their unbeaten record be blocked, but they will also be psychologically in a position to face Manchester City. downwind.

This is a very mysterious psychology, and Ji Ya tries to avoid it as much as possible.

So even though most of their main players played two full games on the FIFA match day, Ji Ya still sent most of the main players in this game, instead of playing in the FIFA match as before. After the league game day, use the substitutes to play the game.

Of course, considering that he is facing Liverpool, which has been in good form recently, such a choice can only prove that Ji Ya is still very safe, and has not been arrogant enough to beat all teams because of his outstanding performance in recent years.

Goalkeeper Gulac, defenders Cancelo, Chilwell, Maguire, Rudiger, midfielders De Bruyne, Phillips, DePaul, Grealish, forwards Du Yue, Vardy, this is Kiya sent the main lineup in this game.

And Klopp showed no sign of weakness.

There are also many international players among his players, but in this game, he also sent almost all the main players.

Goalkeeper Mignolet, right back Alexander-Arnold, left back Moreno, center backs partnered by Van Dijk and Lovren, midfielders Henderson, Wijnaldum, Milner, forwards Salah, Firmino , Mane.

This is also a lineup with a lot of former Southampton players, Van Dijk, Lovren, Mane, these are all players who have played for Southampton, and Klein and Chamberlain are still sitting on the bench...Of course, Chamberlain It was Arsenal who went first, and was poached by Liverpool this season.

In fact, there are still a few players in this lineup that Ji Ya didn't want to dig, such as Henderson, he wanted it very early, but unfortunately Southampton was only a British Championship team at that time, and Henderson couldn't be recruited at all. Sen, and Arnold, he also thought about doing it, but before he could do it, Klopp had already dug him...

But this kind of thing is always inevitable, after all, no one can have all the good players.

"Your lineup is very strong this year, especially the trident in the frontcourt. I can't help drooling." Ji Ya said when shaking hands with Klopp.

"...Isn't that all because you are generous enough? Players like Coutinho and Dembele are all ready to sell..." Klopp said speechlessly.

"The two people add up to [-] million, you won't sell it?" Ji Ya said.

Klopp was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement...

Indeed, it cost him 6000 million pounds, or about 8000 million euros, to poach Mane from Southampton.

Firmino, 4000 million euros.

Salah also cost them a lot of money this year, but only more than 4000 million euros, less than 5000 million.

In other words, buying this set of tridents that he was extremely satisfied with only cost a total of 6000 million euros.

No matter how good Coutinho and Dembele performed, they may not be able to match these three people, but they sold [-] million euros. Such a business, a fool would not do it.

However, apart from Barcelona, ​​which earned 2000 million euros through Neymar this year, what club would be stupid enough to spend so much money to buy two players?Real Madrid will not pay [-] million euros to buy someone in one go!

Possibly a Grand Paris...

Such a good opportunity was seized by Southampton, so there is nothing to say.

So Klopp can only say one sentence in the end: "This game, let us see your quality."

Ji Ya only replied: "We have won eleven games in a row."

Klopp can only lose - in the face of such results, Klopp feels that he is really humiliating himself.

However, he can still fight for the final result of this game.

Klopp has actually prepared for the overall plan for this season. After Salah and Van Dijk joined in succession, Liverpool already has the strength to compete in the Premier League and the Champions League in terms of overall strength. However, they still face a very serious problem, that is running-in.

Both Van Dijk and Salah are not ordinary players, but core-level players. Van Dijk is just a central defender on the surface. In fact, he also has the ability to play and organize in the backcourt. He is an extremely good modern defender. Although Salah looks like a winger, he can bring a lot of goals and assists.

Such two players are not plug-and-play hardware, but core-level components, which require the cooperation of others and surrounding them to play at their best.

So at the beginning of this season, they lost a lot of points due to running-in, which is actually normal. After the start of the new season, strong teams have introduced important players. It must be continuous running-in to be able to have excellent combat capabilities.

However, in this season's Premier League, there have been two monster-level teams. They have achieved such outstanding results from the very beginning, leaving other teams far behind.

Under such circumstances, although Liverpool cannot say that there is no chance at all, after all, Southampton and Manchester City may lose the chain behind, but Klopp clearly knows that it is okay for a team to count on them to lose the chain. The team expects them to lose the chain at the same time, which is unlikely.

So the most realistic goal of this season is to ensure the top four in the league, that is, to qualify for the Champions Cup next season, and then focus most of the attention on the Champions Cup, so that it is easier to get good results .

This is a very realistic approach, but in this game, it is very important to test the quality and strength of your own team and see if you can meet any team in the Champions League. important.

There is nothing wrong with Liverpool in the Champions League group stage. They have two wins and two draws in four rounds, and they are basically close to qualifying ahead of schedule, but Klopp also knows that the knockout round is the real game worth testing. The team that has won the Cup for four consecutive times, what kind of performance Liverpool can play against them is the real result of the game that can be referred to.

So for this game, Klopp also attaches the same importance. Instead, he is worried that Ji Ya will use part of the rotation in this game. Now it seems that Ji Ya will not make such a mistake, and this wonderful game is what he wants. expected!

"Let's see if we have the strength to compete for top honors now." Klopp, who returned to his position, thought silently in his heart.
