Chapter 636 After the Game

After the 6:1 home victory, Arsenal fans were filled with regret, and Liverpool's old fans were in tears, recalling how they envied Arsenal fans a few years ago.

Because in that unbearable time, Arsenal was always able to participate in the Champions League, while Liverpool could not even guarantee to participate in the Europa League for a period of time after 2009!

But whether it was Hodgson or Dalglish during that turbulent period, Liverpool people always used the phrase "You will never walk alone" to stick to their red.

The arrival of Rogers once gave them hope, "Daretodream, Will to Win." This slogan was shouted out at that time.

Since then, Liverpool people have never concealed their desire for the championship, and with the arrival of rock coach Klopp, the city of Liverpool has finally been completely ignited.

In the celebrating crowd, Li Qing could feel the fans' heartfelt enthusiasm, and some people even cried with joy.

They were not overwhelmed by the big win in this game, but by the team's stable performance and the players' spirit of never giving up. This was the scene they had been waiting for for too long!

The Liverpool players on the field kept waving to the fans in the stands. Everyone believed that at the end of this season, they would definitely get the championship trophy they wanted!

2018 is about to pass. This year is a year of great change. Messi and Ronaldo's hegemony in individual player awards was completely overturned by Li Qing alone.

In the field of coaching, great changes are also taking place. With Zidane's retirement and Mourinho's dismissal, many people are discussing a new issue, that is, among the current coaches in football, who can compete with Guardiola in terms of reputation and strength!

In football, the degree of recognition of a coach, there is no doubt that reputation and strength are the most intuitive standards. From this point of view, Guardiola is undoubtedly the best in today's football!

His brilliant coaching achievements and highly entertaining tactical play have earned him unparalleled reputation, and under his brilliant background, the current coaches are slightly declining.

Allegri's resume is brilliant enough, but his conservative style of play and unattractive personality have always made him tepid.

Ancelotti seems to have stepped down from the altar. His former glory is a thing of the past. Now he is lonely and can only make a living in a mid-stream team.

As for Valverde, Sarri, Pochettino and others, although they are in a wealthy club or have a good record, they always feel that they are far behind in terms of reputation and strength.

But Klopp is an exception. If there is anyone in today's football world who can compete with Guardiola, there is no one except Klopp.

After so many years of construction, continuous and patient polishing, internal potential tapping, and huge investment in signing strong reinforcements, the current Liverpool system has finally evolved to perfection.

Therefore, on the first day of the new year, Manchester City played a decisive battle with Liverpool at home, which was like an "English derby" and attracted countless people's attention.

In the last day of training at the Melwood training base, captain Henderson seemed to be working very hard. He finally got to play in the match against Manchester City.

In fact, almost all the players in the team performed very hard. The starting list has not been determined yet. Everyone hopes that they can play by then, so the atmosphere on the training ground is more enthusiastic than usual.

But in this atmosphere, Li Qing seemed a little too quiet. He was running laps with the vice-captain Milner who had just recovered from his injury.

"Jordan is very active today." Milner looked at Henderson who was sweating on the training ground, smiled and asked Li Qing: "You look a little nervous, it won't be because of the next game with Manchester City!"

"Nervous?" Li Qing sneered: "What a joke, with the current Manchester City, I really don't take it seriously."

"Then why don't you go to training and run laps here with me? Don't say you want to practice physical fitness!" Milner joked.

"You're right, I'm just training my physical fitness." Li Qing said seriously, and then asked Milner, "James, with your current ability, how far do you think you can run in a game?"

"Why do you suddenly ask this?" Milner was stunned for a moment, then thought carefully for a while before answering: "It should be about ten kilometers."

"Then who do you think can run more than ten kilometers in a game like you in our team?" Li Qing continued to ask.

Milner was stunned by the question again, but reacted after a moment and teased Li Qing: "You are definitely not, you can only run eight to nine kilometers at most in a game."

"Van Dijk should be fine, Robertson and Arnold can do it, but Lovren is probably not good enough, I am one of the midfielders, Henderson can do it, Fabinho and Wijnaldum can do it."

"But I don't know if the frontcourt players can do it, but no matter how much running, defeating the opponent is the hard truth. We are in control of the situation in the game, so it is not surprising even if we don't run too much."

"So according to what you mean, the strength of our opponents will result in us not having too much running distance, but if the opponent we meet is a strong team, and the strength of the players in their team is not much different from ours, what do you think will happen?"

Hearing Li Qing say this, Milner frowned slightly and stopped at the same time, "Li, what do you mean by this? Have you thought of something?"

"I didn't think of anything." Li Qing denied it, and a lazy smile appeared on his face again, "I just feel that I have no opponent, and I want to play the game now."

"Ah?" Milner couldn't catch up with Li Qing's thoughts. Before he could react, Li Qing had already run away and came directly to Klopp.

Milner watched Li Qing and Klopp talk for a while, and saw Klopp ponder for a while, then suddenly walked to the edge of the training ground and blew the whistle.

"Damn, what does this guy want to do?" Milner ran over quickly, and the Liverpool players who were training on the field also gathered in front of Klopp, waiting for the coach's speech.

At this moment, many people had excited expressions on their faces. At this time, Klopp gathered everyone together, most likely to announce the starting lineup for the next game against Manchester City, so everyone's chest was a few points higher than usual.

But surprisingly, Klopp said directly: "Take a fifteen-minute break, everyone warm up and prepare for the team competition!"
