With 15 minutes left in the second half, West Ham United scored with a free kick, rewriting the score to 2:1 against Liverpool.

If adjustments are not made, Liverpool will lose this Premier League game.

Mourinho decisively replaced Sturridge and replaced Gu Ran.

After Gu Ran came on the field, Liverpool immediately underwent earth-shaking changes.

Liverpool contentedly took three points from the Hammers and continued to lead the Premier League standings.

On October 10, the Premier League match day, Liverpool faced newly promoted Southampton at home.

In theory, this game is nothing, but Southampton is Gu Ran's home team, and there are at least 5 players in Liverpool's main lineup from Southampton, so this game is also popular among fans. of special attention.

Because the next game is the Champions League group stage against Real Madrid, Mourinho also sent all the main players to play in this game so that the main players can maintain a good competitive state.

Of course, Mourinho asked the main players to relax and avoid injuries due to physical confrontation.

After the game started, Southampton used high-pressure tactics to consume Liverpool's energy, but the two teams were of completely different levels. Liverpool responded easily and passed a long pass to Gu Ran in front.

Gu Ran did not force physical confrontation, but used fake moves to deceive his former teammates and pass the ball to Liverpool teammates who were in a better position.

With his easy long pass and lob play, coupled with Gu Ran's excellent passing, Suarez completed a hat trick and Coutinho also scored a goal.

But every time after scoring a goal, Gu Ran refused to celebrate.

After all, he has feelings for the Southampton team, and he is also the big owner of Southampton.

In stoppage time, Salah received a through pass from Ward Prowse, penetrated Liverpool's loose defense in one breath, and scored Southampton's only goal in the entire game.

Gu Ran happily ran over and hugged Salah to celebrate.

Many Southampton fans in attendance cried.

At the end of the game, the score was fixed at Liverpool 5:1 Southampton.

Without Gu Ran, Southampton has lost the color of miracles.

However, the "calf" background that Gu Ran left to Southampton is still good enough. Although Southampton lost to the Premier League leader Liverpool in this game, Southampton's overall ranking in the Premier League is near the middle. .

After the game, Southampton fans held up Gu Ran’s photos and Gu Ran’s Southampton jersey, sang the song “There is a handsome Oriental man named Gu Ran”, and refused to leave for a long time.

Gu Ran also stayed for the first time and signed autographs for every Southampton fan.

Next, it’s time to prepare for the game against Real Madrid.

This is also the most eye-catching game in the Champions League group stage. Both sides released a lot of smoke bombs before the game. Real Madrid said that Ronaldo was injured and might not be able to play, while Liverpool said that Gu Ran was injured and might not be able to play.

But in fact, both of them are very lively and looking forward to this battle.

Mourinho led Liverpool to conduct fully closed training.

Ancelotti led Real Madrid and also conducted fully closed training.

The two coaches are very familiar with each other's tricks, and the styles of the two teams are also very similar, both are pragmatic.

On October 10, Liverpool players took a charter flight to Madrid, Spain.

On October 10, the third round of Group D of the Champions League group stage began, with Liverpool challenging Real Madrid away.

It’s hard to get a ticket at the Bernabeu Stadium!
Well-known players such as Zidane, Ronaldo, and Beckham also bought luxury box tickets early and watched the game in the box.

Liverpool's starting lineup today is still Mourinho 433.

Gu Ran leads the center forward, with Suarez on the left and Lallana, who has a tacit understanding with Gu Ran, on the right.

Compared with the young Sturridge and Chamberlain, Lallana is obviously more stable, and Lallana also has certain defensive capabilities in the midfield and frontcourt, and can be pulled back as a full midfielder at critical times.

The three midfielders are Coutinho, Gerrard, and the happy boy Sterling.

In fact, the last time he played against Dortmund, Sterling used his speed to tear apart Dortmund's honeycomb defense and made a contribution. However, Sterling's shot was so heart-wrenching that the game against Dortmund was not over yet. , Mourinho decisively replaced Sterling to prevent Sterling from wasting the opportunity.

In today's game, Real Madrid's tactical style must be high-position pressure and strangulation throughout the game. Therefore, from the perspective of seeing tricks, the only martial arts in the world is fast. Liverpool needs a sharp knife like Sterling in the midfield. Breaking Real Madrid's high-position pressure and strangling the entire audience, Gu Ran was fed artillery shells.

Therefore, Sterling should be picked up and used.

Mourinho also specifically talked to Sterling before the game and asked Sterling not to shoot blindly.

Sterling grinned.

Liverpool's four defenders are Van Dijk, Carragher, Enrique, and Agger, and the goalkeeper is still Reina.

This is also the first time that Van Dijk has played in such a major game. From a substitute player to an official starter, Van Dijk has also made rapid progress. It only took three games to win the favor of Mourinho and win for himself. More opportunities to play.

Real Madrid - Real Madrid in the 12th season can almost be regarded as the peak lineup of the Galaxy Battleship. There are as many substitute players as the main players, and the reputation of the substitute players is almost as high as the main players.

In this game, Ancelotti adopted a 4231 anti-counterattack formation.

The 4231 formation is both offensive and defensive, coupled with high-position pressure and full-court strangulation. This formation is almost like killing gods and ghosts.

Of course, Dortmund's Klopp also uses a 4231 formation, but Klopp's 4231 is different from Real Madrid's 4231. To put it simply, Klopp's 4231 is passionate. He goes crazy for the first 10 minutes. After finishing, they defended, but Real Madrid's 4231 was balanced and consistent.

In addition, Dortmund is basically a youth team with high motivation but poor endurance, while Real Madrid are all proven world-class stars, and there is no problem in terms of physical endurance.

Therefore, regardless of the fact that both teams have a 4231 formation, their basic playing methods are different.
