Football: The strongest post-zero generation

This season, Liverpool rarely loses the ball when playing against weak teams, and has not tasted defeat in the league so far.

Based on the situation in the past two seasons, the Liverpool team that once "helped fellow countrymen who were about to be relegated" no longer exists.

But this does not mean that the current Liverpool team is invincible. On the contrary, Liverpool's current strong rise has given many teams a sense of common hatred and hatred.

The idea of ​​breaking Liverpool's unbeaten record and ending Liverpool's winning streak is now the common goal of all Premier League teams.

Although the Premier League championship is hopeless, many Premier League coaches and players have said that it is too early to talk about the ownership of the championship now. There are still 17 rounds in the league, and everything is still unknown. Never give up until the end!

Among those who said this, there are some mid- and lower-level Premier League teams. After all, they have no hope of winning the championship, but if they can get points from Liverpool, there is no doubt that they will be able to boost morale and give an explanation to the fans.

Brighton is one of the teams with this mentality. In this game, they are trying to grab points from Liverpool, because they got good news before the game started.

There is a problem with Liverpool's defense. Gomez and Matip will not appear in the starting lineup in this game. With the injured Lovren, Liverpool's central defender is no one except Van Dijk.

Brighton coach Hughes was ecstatic after getting the exact news. In this way, Liverpool is most likely to let the all-purpose vice-captain Milner play as a central defender. Even if Milner and Van Dijk are not partners, it will only be a midfielder.

If Milner is the central defender, the height of Liverpool's defense line will be further lowered, and Brighton's offensive means in this game will be able to have more high balls.

If it is not Milner, then it must be captain Henderson or Fabinho, because Liverpool currently has only these two midfielders who have height advantages and have game experience.

As for the other two players in Liverpool, Ojo and Marco, who are over 1.8 meters tall, I believe that with Klopp's coaching style, he will definitely not feel at ease to hand over the defensive center back to these two players who have not played for a long time.

Whether it is Henderson or Fabinho, there will definitely be unfamiliarity between their cooperation with Van Dijk, so focusing on the attack in the game will definitely be able to reap miraculous results.

When Hughes thought of this, he couldn't help getting excited, so when he saw Liverpool's starting lineup, he noticed the names of Henderson and Fabinho, and Liverpool's defense line only had three familiar names, Arnold, Van Dijk and Robertson, and he became even more excited.

God-given opportunity, everything is under control, today's game is stable, even if you can't beat Liverpool, it shouldn't be a problem to draw the opponent at home!

Once you grab a point from Liverpool, that point is comparable to three points, enough for Brighton to brag for a season!

Hughes, who was dreaming, became extremely relaxed after seeing Liverpool players on the court, but he couldn't help but be stunned while waiting for the kick-off.

What the hell? Why is Li Qing in that position?

On the field, Liverpool's midfielders, Henderson, Wijnaldum and Fabinho, lined up in a row, and in front of them was the trident of Mane, Firmino and Shaqiri.

In the backcourt, the goalkeeper is still Alisson, but today, in addition to Robertson, Arnold and Van Dijk, another person standing in front of Alisson is beyond everyone's expectations, it is Li Qing!

Li Qing and Van Dijk partnered as central defenders?

The fans at the scene also discovered this unusual scene. Many people even thought that Li Qing was standing in the wrong position with the midfielder. After all, Li Qing had always played in the midfield before.

But until the referee blew the whistle, Li Qing still stood in the backcourt, and there was an uproar in the stands of the American Express Community Stadium.

What a joke, Li Qing played as a defender, Klopp's brain was squeezed by the door, and he actually made such a stupid move?

In the Sky Sports live broadcast room, Andy Gray shouted exaggeratedly: "Oh... Is Klopp's self-confidence too inflated? Does he think that the genius Lee is omnipotent?"

Martin Taylor immediately followed up: "I admit that the strength of the genius Lee is unmatched in the Premier League, but that is only limited to the front court. I think Klopp's arrangement for Lee today is very inappropriate!"

BBC commentator and Li Qing's loyal fan Lineker criticized mercilessly: "Klopp is really out of his mind. Does he want to end his 20-game winning streak in such a clumsy way? How can Lee appear in that position!"

He Wei of Tianchao Sports Channel 5 also looked puzzled, "Our rock coach is a little bit arrogant today. This starting lineup is really a bit confusing. Is it really appropriate to put Li Qing in that position?"

"Liverpool has no defenders?" Zhang Lu said bluntly, "Then why did they loan out Klein before? And didn't Gomez and Matip just play in the League Cup? Are they injured again?"

Juli TV commentator Zhan Jun frowned, "Although Brighton is a weak team in the Premier League, it is not easy to bully. Manchester United has suffered a big loss from them this season. It seems that Klopp doesn't take it to heart!"

Almost no commentator would think that Li Qing is a good choice to play as a central defender. Although Li Qing has shown strong interception ability and superb passing and receiving ability in previous games, this does not mean anything.

Especially since Li Qing is still the top scorer in the Premier League and the sharpest knife in Liverpool, many people were puzzled and deeply angry when Klopp arranged him in such a position.

Brighton's players and coaches are the first to bear the brunt. As today's opponent, Brighton, who plays at home, is trying hard to compete with Liverpool, especially their back line, and wants to have a good fight with Li Qing, the top scorer.

Last year, Brighton lost to Liverpool by four goals at Anfield. At that time, Li Qing scored one goal and assisted twice, and was the biggest contributor to the victory over Brighton.

So this year, Brighton hopes to avenge its previous shame, but it did not expect that the strongest enemy in the last game was actually arranged in the back line, which made Brighton's players furious.

Could it be that you, Li Qing, really think you are a genius and can do everything in any position?

In today's game, he didn't play in the front field, but ran to the back line. What does this mean? Do you think you are underestimating us?
