Klopp did not show much pessimism before the League Cup final. He believes that Arsenal's season is not over and they have not withdrawn from the battlefield.
Arsenal fans may have become a habit of disappointment in the past years. Now they are mostly more open-minded than players and coaches. There is really nothing to expect from the league. If they can get tickets for the Champions League next season, even if it is a good ending, the rest is to be able to No further in the Champions League.
London, New Wembley Stadium.
Liverpool and Arsenal fans gathered in this stadium, fighting in the stands, cheering deafeningly.
When the players of the two teams entered the court, the whole court burst into cheers and shook the sky.
Situ Yunbing in a suit and shoes walked into the court and took the initiative to shake hands with Klopp.
Klopp obviously felt a little heavy, and after shaking hands with Situ Yunbing silently, he turned and walked to the coach command area.
Situ Yunbing was able to understand Klopp's feelings and worked hard for most of the season, but the most important front was declared out!
The most important thing is that Arsenal have played almost the best record in history!
Even compared with Wenger's undefeated season led by the team that year, it is not comparable!
Outsiders may feel that such a situation is depressing, but it is absolutely desperate to put yourself in Klopp's position and feel it!
Because I don’t know what else to do to improve the record!
Liverpool and Manchester City's points in the top European leagues are a lot of the leaders of other leagues!
Situ Yunbing did not intend to comfort Klopp. In fact, during his years of coaching, he mocked Mourinho, provoked Guardiola, despised Conte and Simeone.
But he has never had a targeted psychological warfare against Klopp.
Because whether Klopp is in Dortmund or Arsenal, his coaching environment and conditions are not very good.
In the Bundesliga there are Bayern and Hamburg, both richer than Dortmund, but also have better resources than Dortmund.
In the Premier League, Arsenal's image of a miser has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for many years.
Coupled with the constraints of the salary system, Klopp's room for play is actually not large.
And like the coaches of other clubs, such as Chelsea, Manchester City, and Manchester United, they have far more resources than Arsenal, but sometimes they can't even reach the passing record.
Therefore Klopp is a respectable opponent.
Maybe he has a bit of sadness, but this is the cruel world of football, which is not much different from the social reality in which everyone lives. It is not that he will be successful if he achieves more than expected.
Standing in the coaching area of the New Wembley Stadium, Situ Yunbing looked indifferent, this temple carrying the highest dream of English football, he has left his mark here in the past five years, and has repeatedly praised it here. With the championship trophy, in the history of honor at the New Wembley Stadium, his record of winning the championship with his team is an impressive one.
Today he will continue to harvest trophies here!
Players from both sides have been on the field for the kick-off ceremony before the game, it seems that Liverpool is more relaxed than the Arsenal generals.
The Arsenal generals are full of seriousness, looking very strong, but also a little nervous.
"Good afternoon, friends and spectators, and welcome to the 2017-2018 season of the English League Cup finals at the New Wembley Stadium in London, England!
The two teams that reached the League Cup final this year are Liverpool and Arsenal.
These two teams are ranked first and third in the league respectively. This League Cup final is an absolute matchup in English football!
The two teams are currently under great pressure on the schedule this season. There is also the Champions League outside the league. Therefore, whether they can do their best in this game will be a question. I think Arsenal's fighting spirit will be stronger. They lost in the last round of the league. After giving it to Manchester City, it is considered to have withdrawn from the championship group, so if it can beat Liverpool to win the League Cup today, then it is not a small achievement.
In the finals that Liverpool have participated in these years, under the leadership of Situ Yunbing, they have never lost. Coupled with their excellent form this season, today they are bound to win the championship!
Introduce the starting lineup of both sides.
Liverpool started 433 today.
Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.
Defenders: Arnold, Van Dijk, Coulibaly, Robertson.
Midfielder: Casemiro, Eriksson, Kanter.
Forwards: Mbappe, Lewandowski, Sane.
For the Red Army, only Sane’s starting is somewhat surprising, but referring to Sane’s recent outstanding performance, there will be no controversy about his starting.
Arsenal also started 433 today.
Goalkeeper: Karius.
Defenders: Bellerin, Koscielny, Matip, Chambers.
Midfielder: Milner, Ramsey, Wijnaldum.
Forwards: Salah, Firmino, Mane.
The two teams can be described as elite, and a big battle is inevitable!
Well, the two teams have ended the pre-match kick-off ceremony, and now Arsenal will take the lead! "
After Arsenal kicked off the ball, Situ Yunbing focused on observing the posture and state of Arsenal today.
After the opening, Arsenal formed a quick forward pressure, looking like they wanted to catch Liverpool by surprise.
Ramsey and Wijnaldum hit the wall to cooperate and then pushed forward. When facing Kanter, the heel knocked back. Milner followed up with a diagonal pass and sent the ball to the front right.
Salah took the initiative to catch the ball and crossed the ball. In the front of the penalty area, about 25 yards from the goal, Salah forced a kick.
The football bounced off Van Dijk.
"Arsenal completed a shot at the beginning, but Salah was obviously anxious with this goal!"
As soon as the blocked football was controlled by Casemiro in the backcourt, Ramsey actively countered the ball and broke the ball beyond the sideline.
Arsenal retreated slightly and began to press on defense.
Situ Yunbing looked solemn, unable to tell whether he was worried or pressured.
When Liverpool fell in the backcourt, they encountered Arsenal's striker and quickly countered it. Just looking at the posture, Arsenal was absolutely strong today!
But this kind of strength did not panic Situ Yunbing, he was just watching for Arsenal's sudden change of posture.
Arnold started a long pass in the backcourt, and Lewandowski headed the ball in the middle of the frontcourt to find Sane, who just stopped the ball and was intercepted by Bellerin!
Arsenal's pressing defense does bring better results to the defense, but it also needs to take higher risks.
Klopp stood motionless on the sidelines, like a sculpture.
He must win this League Cup final!
If there is any reason, it is that he has lost enough!
He has met Situ Yunbing and Guardiola in the Bundesliga, and he also met Guardiola and Situ Yunbing in the Premier League!
As if suppressed by fate!
Of course, if Klopp doesn't like challenges, he has a chance to coach Bayern Munich, and teams like Paris Saint-Germain won the championship year after year!
But that is just a waste of time for the coach who likes to challenge.
Just as most top coaches will not coach the national team at a young age is a reason.
After Arsenal's defensive success, they quickly launched a fast attack. Wijnaldum quickly intervened to disrupt Liverpool's midfield defensive effect. At least in physical confrontation, he has a great advantage against Kanter.
When he tried to cooperate with Mane after hitting the wall continuously, he scored a header in the penalty area and created a wave of danger in front of Liverpool. Goalkeeper Ter Stegen saved the ball with a single palm and propped the ball above the crossbar!
"Wow! Wijnaldum's header almost gave Arsenal a good start!
It's a pity that Ter Stegen played bravely!
Arsenal's momentum is so fierce after the opening!
Liverpool were caught off guard! "
Arsenal's corner kick attack, Van Dijk commanded his teammates to arrange the defense.
Ramsey's corner kick was cleared by Coulibaly after the penalty area.
Bellerin rushed up to the right in front of the penalty area and volleyed!
The football flew into the stands!
Klopp clapped his hands and applauded, satisfied with the team's performance after the opening.
Situ Yunbing was still calm and relaxed.
It seems that Arsenal is playing the king of the game. There is nothing wrong with this kind of play, but it lacks some changes. If they score a goal, they will definitely change their attitude immediately. Playing other teams may not. , But if you play Liverpool, you can get the lead is a good opportunity that must be seized and used.
Situ Yunbing wanted to see what happened to Arsenal today.
He doesn't doubt Arsenal's fighting spirit, but Arsenal looks down on Liverpool a bit too much, or they are more like venting through the game!
He gestured to the team from the sidelines to let the team control the rhythm of the game.
Liverpool will pass more patiently to find holes in Arsenal's defense.
In the 7th minute of the game, when Arsenal’s frontcourt player frantically encircled Liverpool’s possession of the ball, Eriksson directly knocked the ball back to Van Dijk, who took the ball to the left and Robertson took control. After the ball, the ball moved forward, and after colliding with Kanter to avoid Salah's forcing interception, Robertson sent a diagonal pass behind the center line.
Mbappé took the initiative to stop the ball on the right front of the front court. When Chambers made a defense, he made a sudden stop but pulled the ball to the outside line. Chambers rushed to the air and turned to chase. Opportunity.
Mbappé, who was sprinting the ball, sent a threatening cross before the baseline.
Lewandowski attracted firepower in the middle, and Sane followed up with the ball and volleyed directly!
But the force was still too strong and the footwork was not well controlled. The football crossed the beam and flew straight to the stands.
Sane hugged his head and sighed, then gave Mbappé a thumbs up.
This wave of Liverpool's offensive made the Arsenal fans scalp numb, and even Arsenal players have lingering fears.
The goal is only a shot from Sane!
Situ Yunbing did not regret that he did not break the goal. At least Liverpool has made a clear threat in this attack. He wants to see how Arsenal react to this.
