Coach, I want to play football!

Chapter 874 It’s too late to replace someone

After the substitutions and adjustments, Liverpool's offense has indeed become much sharper.

But the problem also arises, because the offense during this period caused Liverpool to have some defensive problems.

In the 70th minute, it was Ibe's breakthrough with the ball that created another opportunity. He single-handedly cut inside and found center Wilson.

Wilson took a shot near the penalty spot. Stewart stretched his foot to block it but failed.

Mignolet fought hard and saved the ball, preventing Wilson from scoring another goal.

But the ball rolled into the penalty area, and Wilshere, who followed up, got the ball before Leiva and Klavan, and after a slight adjustment, he kicked and hit the goal!

Veteran Klavan stretched out his foot to block the ball, and the ball hit his thigh and flew out of the baseline.

Wilshere shook his head regretfully. If Klavan did not block the ball, it would not be a goal, but it would definitely pose a threat to goalkeeper Mignolet.

Later, Bournemouth's corner kick did not pose a threat and was cleared by Milner who was back in place.

In the 74th minute, Bournemouth's counterattack came back.

This time, Arthur and Schulman intercepted Wijnaldum's ball, and Schulman immediately gave the ball to Wilshere who was in front.

Wilshere did not give Leiva a chance to counterattack, and penetrated Liverpool's defense with a long pass.

Wilson rushed between Stewart and Klavan. Stewart reached out to pull the jersey, but failed.

Wilson was very fast. After receiving the ball, he dribbled into the penalty area. Mignolet was late to attack. Wilson took a shot and Mignolet couldn't save it, and the ball went into the net.

The fans of the away team who came to Anfield to cheer for the team went crazy. Being able to lead 2-0 here is obviously exciting enough just thinking about it.

At the same time, taking away three points at Anfield was something they never expected. With the second goal scored at this point in the world, victory was almost within their grasp.

The home team's Red Army fans were also furious. They didn't expect that a lower-tier team like the Cherries could lead them by two goals at Anfield. Could it be that the Red Army's instability has returned again?

Fortunately, the linesman on the sidelines raised the flag in time, and the referee's whistle was not pointed in the center circle, but in the direction of Liverpool's goal.

The ball is offside and the goal is invalid!

Wilson, who scored the goal, was in disbelief and went to the referee to argue.

The replay of the broadcast footage did show that the ball was offside, and Wilson started the ball early before Wilshere could pass the ball.

In the end, when Wilshere started to pass the ball, Wilson was just one shoulder offside!

Before the Premier League added var equipment, such offside could only mean that the linesman had a keen eye!

Wilshere was also unconvinced because his appeal to the referee was too exciting and he was eventually given a yellow card by the referee.

Seeing that it was an offside kick, Liverpool fans finally breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that they still had a chance.

Just after this ball, Klopp made his second substitution adjustment.

But not on the offensive end, but on the defensive end. Stewart was substituted and Lovren came on as a substitute.

Obviously, Klopp was not satisfied with Stewart's performance today.

In the 79th minute, Firmino received a pass from Lallana and followed up with a fake shot. After attracting two Bournemouth defenders to stretch their feet at the same time, Firmino immediately swung his leg to win the ball. It was given to Mane who came from the wing.

Without saying a word, Mane started to hit directly!

Bournemouth central defender Cook took off and tried to head the ball out, but was a little late and missed the ball.

Mane's shot went straight into the upper right corner of the goal!

One to one! Liverpool equalized the score with ten minutes left in the game!

Mane was celebrating his goal. Klopp was not idle at this time and immediately made substitutions.

Ye Qi spit out the gum in his mouth, took off his training shirt and listened intently to the assistant coach's arrangements on the sidelines.

He could not sit still for a long time off the court. He guessed that the head coach would probably let him come on as a substitute, especially when the score was behind and the situation was passive.

But he didn't expect it to be so late. To be honest, he felt that ten minutes was really a bit late. Even if there were twenty minutes left, it wouldn't be a big problem.

Ye Qi's appearance is not surprising. If you don't believe it, look at Eddie Howe's expression on the sidelines. It looks like he has already expected it.

It's just that the player Ye Qi replaced surprised everyone. It was not Firmino, nor Lallana and Wijnaldum in the frontcourt.

Instead, he replaced veteran midfielder Milner!

Although Milner is already a veteran, his physical fitness is no problem. As Liverpool's jack-of-all-trades player and a dedicated player who can't run to death, it's not a big problem to play a full 90 minutes in a game like this.

So this substitution is definitely not a physical consideration, but a tactical adjustment.

After Ye Qi stepped onto the court, he immediately made a gesture to Lallana.

After seeing this, Lallana expressed his understanding and began to retreat.

After watching for two minutes, everyone finally understood Liverpool's formation changes.

Wijnaldum and Leiva team up as a double midfielder, with one responsible for defense and the other responsible for attack in the center.

Lallana plays as an attacking midfielder or central midfielder, mainly responsible for passing and dribbling the ball in the middle.

Firmino and Mane were on both sides, ambush behind Ye Qi. Of course, Ye Qi came forward from the middle.

After Ye Qi came on the field, Liverpool's offense really caused Bournemouth a lot of trouble.

In the 85th minute, after Ye Qi received the ball, he suppressed the opponent's two central defenders and passed the ball to Firmino, but Firmino's shot missed the post slightly.

In the 87th minute, Mane's breakthrough caused the Bournemouth defense to panic, and Mane followed up with a pass to the center of the penalty area.

Ye Qi overpowered the opponent's central defender Cook to hit the ball, and then hit the goal with a powerful header!

Goalkeeper Boruc managed to lift the ball over the crossbar with one palm, and the ball almost went in!

Ye Qi smiled and shook his head. His body had only just warmed up after playing, so he didn't think too much when he hit the ball. If it came out at an angle, the goalkeeper would have no choice.

Obviously Eddie Howe also felt the sense of crisis. After Ye Qi came on the field, Liverpool's several attacks made his heart beat faster.

So taking advantage of this dead ball opportunity, he immediately made his second substitution adjustment.

Ibe was substituted and replaced by a defensive player.

Later, Liverpool's corner kick came out, and Ye Qi once again headed the header, but this time he did not do it himself, but passed it to Lallana.

The arch of Lallana's outside instep drew an arc toward the far post, but the ball was slow and was cleared by full-back Daniels standing at the far post.

Lallana put his head in his hands and made an apologetic gesture.

At the 89th minute, the time was up and Eddie Howe's determination to hold on increased infinitely. Although it seems that there is no way to take away three points, in fact, being able to take away one point from Anfield is something I never thought of before.

So he used up the last substitution, replaced forward Wilson, replaced him with a defender, and defended resolutely!

In addition to wasting the few minutes of game time, a defensive player was also added.
