Coach, I want to play football!

Chapter 791 Really open the champagne at halftime

“What we played in this game was a piece of shit!!”

"What about our offense? Did the opponent break his leg, so we couldn't shoot?"

"Our defense... I'm sorry, it's my fault, I forgot to send a defender on today!"

"Also, Simon, what kind of shit is that?? You didn't sleep all night last night, okay? Tell me, can you still be awake in the second half? If not, I will replace you early!!"

During halftime, Klopp cursed at almost every player.

Under normal circumstances, when the team performs poorly, he will not blame a single player, but will usually directly scold the entire line.

For example, the entire forward line and the entire back line, but because goalkeeper Mignolet's performance today was indeed a bit eye-catching, Klopp did not want to take care of Belgium's emotions.

Mignolet clenched his fists, knowing that he was the biggest problem in this game. Two of the three goals scored by the opponent came from their own mistakes.

"I can do it!! Please believe me, boss! If they score another goal in the second half, I will run away on the training ground when I return to Liverpool!" Simon Mignolet gritted his teeth.

Ye Qi glanced at Mignolet and thought to himself: Do Europeans like Guo Ben? How can you bet that you will always run away?......

Forty minutes after the first half, Klopp replaced center Ings with Mane, and then asked Firmino to play center.

It is equivalent to treating the false number nine as the real number nine and then fighting.

But the effect was still limited. Counting the five minutes of injury time, although Liverpool's offensive route was cleared in the last ten minutes, the quality of the final kick was still not high.

Klopp showed two rows of white front teeth, like an angry vicious dog.

He said to Mignolet: "You'd better remember what you just said, I can accept conceding the ball, but I can't accept such a shitty conceding!"

"If there are another low-level mistakes like this in the second half, you'd better pack your things and get out early, before the transfer window is closed!"

No wonder Klopp was so tempered today, barely saving any face for Mignolet.

If you're to blame, it's because your performance was really disappointing.

And Klopp knows that if this game ends up losing by a big score, then his own time at Anfield may really be running out.

If he is lucky, he will probably be able to survive until next month. If he is not lucky, he will leave after this game.

So in this case, it is natural that Mignolet will not have a good look on him.

Mignolet looked at Klopp with very firm eyes. He knew that as the main goalkeeper of a team like Liverpool, the two low-level mistakes made in the first half today really should not have been made.

In other words, it is estimated that Ye Shanglai's guest goalkeeper may be better than himself!

So he doesn't blame the head coach for not giving him face. Face is not given by others, but earned by himself!

With his performance in the first half today, I must be embarrassed!

Klopp changed his voice and looked at German midfielder Emre Can: "Emre, you are going to be replaced in the second half. Your performance today is remarkable, but we need to attack now!"

Emre Can nodded to show that he understood, and he also knew that he did not perform well in the first half.

He is too concerned about the opponent's fouls and not calling them, and does not provide strength to the opponent in the confrontation. Moreover, as a defensive midfielder, the opponent scored three goals. Although two were low-level mistakes by the goalkeeper, the midfielder cannot escape his responsibility.

Klopp looked around, "My tactical requirements for the second half are only three points, attack! Attack! Or their attack!!"

"Tottenham can score three of us in the first half, then we will give the opponent three, or even four, or five in the second half!!"

"As long as your legs are not broken, I will break them!"

"Don't they like physical confrontation? As long as they don't get a red card in the second half, the rest..."

Klopp looked at captain Henderson, "Give them more intensity, don't think we Liverpool are sissies!"

"Football is a sport for macho men!!"

"We need to strengthen our efforts to grab the ball and start the first step of defense in the opponent's half. In the first half, I rarely saw our pressing when the opponent got the ball in the half!"

"Understood, boss!!" Henderson shouted loudly!

In the first half, apart from Klavan on the bench and coach Klopp's yellow card, Liverpool only received one yellow card for Emre Can.

On Tottenham's side, Alli and Danny Rose also had a yellow card each.

You must know that this game is very fierce. If it were another referee, yellow cards would have been flying all over the place in the first half. As a result, the two teams totaled three yellow cards on the court.

In the dressing room of the home team Tottenham.

Head coach Pochettino praised the team's performance in the first half and reminded the players not to be careless in the second half and to kill the game completely.

After deploying the tactics for the second half, Pochettino led the coaching staff out of the locker room and gave the players more rest in the remaining time.

After all, the confrontation was very fierce in the first half, and the physical energy consumption of both sides was huge.

Based on this kind of confrontation, it is estimated that a player will have cramps in less than 70 minutes.

So he asked the players to take advantage of this halftime break to rest more and replenish their physical fitness.

In the locker room, there are foods such as bananas and chocolates that can quickly replenish energy and eliminate hunger, and of course there are professional sports drinks.

Ali walked over instead of getting a drink, but held a bottle of champagne and shook it.

"bump!"

The champagne cork popped open, and he took the champagne and poured it towards his teammates.

The game isn't over yet, so of course you can't drink champagne, but it's okay to open a bottle to celebrate.

As the captain of the team, Lloris subconsciously wanted to scold Ali. But after thinking about it, I felt that it wasn't a big problem. We were leading by three goals at halftime, and the key was to see how our opponent, Liverpool, looked like, and we didn't want to have too many solutions.

So I let Ali go.

Son Heung-min ran over with a smile, raised Ali's hand while Ali was not paying attention, and poured champagne on Ali's head.

Soon the home team's locker room was in chaos, singing and laughing.

After spraying the champagne, Ali took a sip and smashed it in his mouth.

The other players took advantage of the few minutes left to quickly take a shower and change their jerseys.

For each game, the jersey manager will prepare two sets of jerseys for each player for emergencies.

The home team's dressing room is very soundproofed, so Liverpool's players didn't know that Tottenham were already popping champagne in advance to celebrate.

The atmosphere in the visiting team's locker room was a bit stressful, as if a group of beasts simmering with fire were lurking.

It's like summer, the calm before the storm.

Zhan Jun: "Okay, welcome back. The second half of the game between the two sides is about to begin."

"Look at what adjustments both coaches made at halftime."

Liu Yue said: "Liverpool will definitely strengthen their offense in the second half, but their defense is still a problem."

"Let's see if the coach has any good ideas."
