Coach, I want to play football!

The Blue Fox miracle last season left a deep impression on Klopp, so today's starting lineup is still relatively conservative.

Otherwise, Wijnaldum will most likely sit deeper, cancel the defensive midfielder Emre Can, and end up with an attacker like Firmino or Lallana.

So the moment Ye Qi knew his side's starting lineup, he understood what coach Klopp was thinking.

Even though it was on his home court, the boss chose to be conservative.

"This is abnormal..." Ye Qi muttered in his heart.

As we all know, Klopp is not a conservative manager.

Then Ye Qi turned to look at the starting lineup of his old club Leicester City. Most of them were old friends, but of course there were also new faces.

At this time, Zhan Jun continued: "Next, let's take a look at the starting lineup of the visiting team Leicester City. The goalkeeper is still Denmark's national goalkeeper Schmeichel, and the four defenders are Fuchs, Huth, Morgan and Simpson."

"The double defensive midfielder is the drinking man Drinkwater, partnering with the Senegalese international Mendy. There is no problem with the hardness of this midfielder."

"Albrighton and Mahrez are on both sides, and the double center partner is Vardy and Japanese international Shinji Okazaki."

"Ranieri's starting lineup is not much different from last season's championship lineup. The only difference is that Ye Qi and Kante who left the team were replaced by Shinji Okazaki and Mendy."

Liu Yue said: "Leicester City's defense is basically the main defense that won Leicester City's championship last season. This defense is rich in experience, but... the age composition is... Isn’t it a bit unreasonable? They are generally older.”

Zhan Jun nodded and said: "Morgan in the defense is already 33 years old, and his partner German central defender Huth is also 32 years old. Simpson, Fuchs and Schmeichel are all 30 years old. , it’s really hard to tell when this defense line meets the powerful Liverpool.”

The biggest difference between Ranieri's starting today and last season is Ye Qi and Kante who left the team. After the Blue Fox won the championship last season, the Premier League opponents have fully studied this style of play, so this cannot bring success. Surprise everyone.

This may be one of the reasons why Leicester City's performance has declined compared to last season.

After Kante left the team, the Blue Foxes added Mendy and Endidi, two strong midfielders. Mendy is capable of fighting now, and young Endidi may be an investment in the future.

After Ye Qi left the team, Ranieri added Algerian striker Slimani, which cost a lot, and with floating clauses of almost 30 million pounds, this is not a small amount of money for Leicester City.

However, the heavily recruited Slimani was only Ranieri's third choice. The Italian coach chose to straighten Shinji Okazaki after losing Ye Qi.

The broadcast footage frequently showed Ye Qi. Perhaps the director wanted to find some emotional changes on Ye Qi's face against his old club Leicester City.

It's just that Ye Qi's expression is no different from usual. The only difference is that he smiles more.

Maybe it was the reunion between friends.

The game kicked off with the everlasting melody of "You'll Never Walk Alone" sung by the Anfield home fans.

It was Leicester City who got the ball. The referee just blew the whistle and Vardy quickly gave it to Drinkwater behind him.

Seeing this, Ye Qi pounced directly on Brother Drinking Water. Based on his understanding of Brother Drinking Water, the ball would most likely go to Mahrez on the wing, or pass back to captain Morgan who was further back.

Therefore, Ye Qi paid attention to Drinkwater's movements when he was rushing forward, and was ready to intercept the opponent's passing route at any time.

After receiving the ball, Drinkwater's face leaned slightly to the right, and this side is Mahrez's position.

Ye Qi felt that he had guessed correctly and was ready to strike at any time when he pounced on Drinkwater.

Just as the distance between the two was getting closer, Drinkwater stretched out his feet to pass the ball to Mahrez.

After Ye Qi arrived, he quickly stretched his feet forward. He did not intend to make physical contact with the opponent, but intercepted the opponent's passing line, especially when the ball came out.

Drinkwater saw Ye Qi's flying dive, pulled his foot, immediately dunked the ball back, and passed the ball to Albrighton on the other side with his left foot.

Ye Qi's jump was missed, and he turned to look at Brother Drinking Water.

Unexpectedly, Drinkwater turned back and smiled at Ye Qi at this time.

Ye Qi: Well, you’re such a thick-browed guy, you’ve learned bad things too!

Derek Watt: I didn’t expect it, I’m not the same person I was last season!

Zhan Jun looked at the ball and said: "Drinkwater... cleverly smashed Ye Qi away. This fake smash was quite deceptive. After all, the two of them can be said to know the basics. In this way Ye Qi was deceived. However, the quality of this pass is average. After all, he is a right-footed player, and long passes from his left foot are more awkward."

Albrighton also discovered the passing problem of his teammate, so he took two steps back to catch the ball.

Liu Yue said: "This summer Leicester City only let go of the two core players Ye Qi and Kanter, but other giants are still eyeing other players in their lineups. It is rumored that Chelsea is very interested in Derek Watt."

Zhan Jun smiled: "I have tasted the sweetness of Kanter, so I also plan to buy Kanter's former partner together."

"But it's not just Drinkwater, Mahrez is also paying attention to Manchester City. Vardy also has many potential buyers, but he has renewed his contract with the Blue Fox for the new season. This is his intention to expand his career. My career will stay with the Blue Fox!"

As soon as Albrighton got the ball, Mane came forward. He was responsible for the first wave of pressing, and there was Wijnaldum on the inside.

Liverpool's frontcourt press is still very good. After all, the main focus is a high-position press. Shadow forwards like Firmino were transformed by Klopp into a false nine shield forward.

Note that the false nine is the false nine and the shield front is the shield front. It’s just that Firmino does both.

Albrighton knew that he missed the opportunity to attack quickly, mainly because Drinkwater's pass was not ideal.

If Drinkwater sends the ball in front of him, then he is confident that he will get the ball behind Mane and then send a long pass to Vardy in the middle.

But now it is obvious that this method will not work, after all, his back is almost facing the direction of attack.

Hmm... Of course, it is also possible that Drinkwater wanted to pass the ball in front of him, but due to the passing ability of his weak foot, it ended up being a ball behind him.

But it wasn't a big problem. Albrighton saw Fuchs cutting in at high speed.

He made a fake move to turn around with the ball, attracting Mane to move his body to block the position. At this time, he decisively knocked the ball with his heel and sent a ball behind him.

The ball passed Mane along the sideline and went behind the opponent.

Wijnaldum immediately went up to cover the wing, but Fuchs, who was well prepared, was faster than him!
