Looking at Firmino standing next to him, Wei Le knew that he had made the right choice.

The Brazilian striker showed his big white teeth, combing his hair while standing next to Klopp and listening to Klopp's instructions. Then, the fourth official raised a card and he ran onto the field.

He replaced Origi, who was already sitting on the bench.

After the game started, Liverpool changed quickly.

With Firmino on the field, Liverpool's offensive quality improved significantly. Firmino is different from the traditional number nine striker. In a sense, Firmino and Jota have many similarities.

After Firmino came on the field, he retreated to receive the ball and used his personal ability to move forward, making up for the lack of strength of young players in the first half and the lack of connection between the midfield and frontcourt. His role on the field is a true "false nine", and he often retreats to a deeper place to receive the ball.

In the 57th minute, Firmino shook off Ruben Dias and forced Bass to make a tackle in a dangerous position. He was shown a yellow card by the referee. But Emre Can's free kick attempt at the top of the penalty area eventually went over the goal frame.

In the 63rd minute, Liverpool's offensive resumed. During the first half of the second half, Wolves were almost completely trapped in their own half, but the Wolves players did not lose patience. With Ruben Dias in charge, Wolves' rear was relatively stable.

This time it was Emre Can's long pass across the field and found Ben Woodburn on the left. The young player Woodburn was still thin and failed to taste the sweetness in the physical confrontation with Nathan Byrne, and the ball was still snatched away by Nathan Byrne.

After Byrne took the ball, he took it along the sideline to the bottom line and passed it to Jack Pierce.

Jack Pierce didn't delay. He ignored Kenny McDonald who was looking for the ball. Instead, he saw the chaos in the defense of Liverpool. When Joe Gomez turned to him, he passed a hidden through ball behind Joe Gomez!

The ball flew out along the grass. Joe Gomez didn't expect that he had this skill. He turned around quickly, but almost slipped on the grass of Anfield. Behind him, Edwards and Morgan Gibbs-White rushed towards Liverpool's penalty area like two sharp swords-

Because in front of them, there was a 30-meter long no-man's land!

Alexander-Arnold's position was not too forward. He caught up with White, but White didn't stop the ball at all and pushed the ball into the penalty area again!

Edwards rushed out from the gap between people and ran towards Liverpool's goal!

The ball was passed in advance, and someone raised his hand to signal the referee that it was offside, but the assistant referee ignored it. He saw clearly that at the moment of passing the ball, Edwards' whole body was dragged in front of the second-to-last player, that is, the central defender Lucas. The ball was not offside at all.

Edwards rushed into the penalty area. Facing the attacking goalkeeper Karius, Edwards did not make any fancy moves, nor did he dream of passing Karius and shooting again.

Karius rushed up, but Edwards had already adjusted his pace and pushed the ball to the far corner of the goal with a clever push!

Karius immediately dived sideways, but at such a close distance, no matter how good the physical function of the player is, the speed of diving sideways is much slower than the speed of the football flying. Karius could only watch the ball pass in front of him and fly to the goal behind him.

"Bang!"

A crisp sound, Edwards' heart almost stopped beating, and Karius turned around with the last glimmer of hope-

He was sure that this was the sound of the football hitting the goalpost!

But immediately, he heard another sound.

"Swish!"

This was the sound of the football rubbing against the net.

Turning his head, the football was still bouncing inside the net.

Anfield Stadium was instantly quiet, and the Wolves fans who occupied half of the stands were overjoyed! The goal happened in front of them, and Edwards rushed to them, waving his arms and interacting with the Wolves fans!

The time on the red scoreboard at Anfield Stadium passed the 65th minute of the game, and the number behind the name of the Wolves turned into "1".

Wolves are leading! At Anfield Stadium!

"Fuck!" Celars covered his mouth and swore. He jumped up and ran to Wei Le, "Can we win?"

Wei Le was very happy, but he was still very calm, "Our goal remains unchanged."

Klopp couldn't sit still.

He jumped up from his chair and shouted loudly to encourage the players' morale.

Although he didn't attach much importance to the outcome of a game, Liverpool couldn't play like this against a Wolves team that was obviously playing badly!

This ball was essentiallyIt was Liverpool who pressed too much during the attack, resulting in a counterattack. The Wolves players were obviously better at seizing opportunities. They seized the chaos of Liverpool's defense and scored a crucial goal.

But there were still about 25 minutes left, and Liverpool had plenty of time to equalize or even overtake.

Of course, Klopp didn't want a draw. Because the FA Cup system requires that at this stage, the two teams should decide the winner in one round. But if it is not decided, then the home court will be changed and another make-up match will be played to determine the final winner.

He believed that Wei Le didn't want it either.

Wijnaldum stood on the sidelines, and he was going to replace the young player Ejaria. The Dutch midfielder now looked solemn, and he knew that this was a critical stage to determine the outcome.

"The goal of this game is still to win!" Klopp shouted loudly, and he patted Wijnaldum on the shoulder. The latter shook hands with the young player Ejaria who ran down, and then ran onto the court.

To be fair, although Ejaria's performance in this game was not outstanding, at least there was no big problem. It was considered to be quite satisfactory. He was replaced at such an early time mainly for tactical considerations.

After Wijnaldum came on the court, Emre Can and Stewart's midfield partnership was even more powerful.

After Wijnaldum's arrival, Wijnaldum can be responsible for more forward passes and distribution tasks to both sides. You know, although Emre Can also has this ability, he and Stewart are essentially defensive midfielders.

The pressure on the Wolves' back line increased suddenly. Wijnaldum suddenly shot cold arrows after he came on the court, giving the Wolves' back line a blow. His long shot hit the crossbar and bounced out of the bottom line.

The shot was powerful and the ball flew far away. Ekma could also feel that the goal frame was still shaking.

But the role of the "poet" Wijnaldum is not just a cannon, it is also a turret!

After he came on the field, Firmino was completely activated.

In the 70th minute, just five minutes after the last goal, Wijnaldum passed the ball directly to Firmino who was retreating in the area on the left side of the midfield.

Everyone thought that Firmino would resist the defensive players and wait for more Liverpool players to run up and form a local numerical advantage over Wolves before dealing with it. But unexpectedly, Firmino received the ball with his right foot with his back to the goal and suddenly pulled the ball back!

This is a back-heel pass! Bass immediately opened the distance and blocked the space behind Firmino.

But Firmino used the arch of his left foot to knock the ball to the right the next second -

This is the opposite direction predicted by Bass!

Such a juggling action even deceived the camera lens, and Wijnaldum decisively moved forward to this position. He received Firmino's pass and appeared in the penalty area!

He raised his left foot, and Bass immediately stepped forward to block it. He buckled his left foot - this was a fake shot, he pushed the ball to the right, and then raised his right foot!

This is going to be real!

Wijnaldum tilted his center of gravity and kicked out an arc - a lob shot!

The ball went around Alkomai's outstretched hand and went straight to the far corner of the goal!

1:1!

It's evened!
