The score of 4-0 is a big enough difference.
However, the previous experience of losing to Burnley away from home in the league made everyone in the Red Army a little frustrated. This game seemed to have found an outlet. Even if they are already four goals ahead, Liverpool will still score if they get the chance.
In the 86th minute, Sturridge scored again, and this time it was Mane who assisted.
Liverpool has expanded the score to 5-0.
At this time, Klopp finally made the last substitution, which was Willard.
He asked Velarde to come on for a few minutes and get a feel for the game.
As a result, Willard almost scored through a corner kick in the 91st minute, but unfortunately his header went slightly over the crossbar.
In the end, Liverpool defeated the English Championship team Burton 5-0 in an away game and advanced to the top 32 of the EFL Cup.
Velarde, on the other hand, relied on the few minutes he came on as a substitute to gain millions in winning experience.
Two days later, on August 25, the 2016/2017 Champions League group stage draw ceremony was held at UEFA headquarters. Klopp attended the draw ceremony on behalf of Liverpool.
Cristiano Ronaldo was elected as the UEFA Player of the Year last season. Although Willard entered the top three candidates with his amazing performance in the Europa League for half a season, in the end he could not compare with Cristiano Ronaldo's Champions League title and Champions League Golden Boot in terms of gold content. .
In the group draw, the old enemies of Real Madrid and Dortmund met again and were placed together in Group F.
Group E, which includes Tottenham Hotspur, CSKA Moscow, Bayer Leverkusen, and Monaco, has become the closest group of death. Anyone can qualify, and anyone can be eliminated from the group stage.
As last season's Europa League champion, Liverpool, which directly qualified for the Champions League group stage, was placed in Group H, along with Juventus, Lyon, and Dinamo Zagreb.
Except for Dinamo Zagreb who should be a weak point giveaway, both Juventus and Lyon have certain strengths. Especially Juventus, as a Serie A giant, should be the main opponent competing with Liverpool for first place in the group to facilitate the knockout draw.
There should be a big drama between the two sides in the group stage to grab points.
On August 27, in the third round of the Premier League, Liverpool challenged Tottenham Hotspur away.
After this league, it will be FIFA match day and the start of the national team competition.
Under normal circumstances, after playing in the Olympic finals, Willard can rest for a week and then directly participate in the national team training and compete in the world preliminaries.
It was for this strong dialogue in the third round of the Premier League that Velarde rushed back to the club to prepare for training.
He doesn't want to receive news that the club has lost again.
Last season, there was an unexpected loss to Southampton in a game, which led to the final loss of the championship. This season, Velarde doesn’t want any surprises.
He hasn't won a Premier League championship yet, so he hasn't gotten tired of it yet. He has secretly made a decision to help Liverpool win their first Premier League title this season, which is also his first league title since moving to England.
At 14:30 noon local time, with referee Madley's whistle, the game officially started at Tottenham's home stadium, White Hart Lane.
Although Liverpool lost in the second round of the Premier League, and this game was Tottenham's home court, Tottenham did not attack Liverpool. Instead, they sent out a 4231 defensive counterattack formation to let Liverpool attack and wait for opportunities. Fight back.
Because Liverpool has already used all its main players in this game, and Velard has joined the starting lineup, Tottenham must avoid its edge.
There are not many teams that can compete with Liverpool right now.
Of course Liverpool would not be polite. With the support of the 433 formation and the leadership of Willard, after a few minutes of adapting at the beginning, they launched a fierce attack on the home team.
However, after the start of the new season, no matter whether it is the Premier League, the EFL Cup, or the European Super Cup, whether it is away from home or at a neutral site, Liverpool has not played a home game, and everyone seems unable to get excited.
After attacking for half an hour, Liverpool failed to achieve any results. Velarde began to increase the frequency of forward penetration, and even rushed directly into the opponent's penalty area to fight for the top.
Finally, with the continuous efforts of Velarde, in the 34th minute, Velarde, Firmino and Mane played a wonderful triangle pass.
When Velarde passed the ball to Firmino, who returned the ball with his back, everyone thought that Firmino would pass the ball to Velarde who was running in the back row, allowing Velarde to complete the shot.
Both goalkeepers and defenders focused on Velarde and Firmino. Unexpectedly, after Firmino received Velarde's pass with his back, he did not pass it back to Velarde, but passed it across to Mane who cut in from the right and reached the corner of the penalty area.
Mane was almost unguarded and kept shooting at the ball. He hit a high-quality shot that hit the ground and went straight towards the goal.
Unfortunately, Mane failed to hit the ball from too tricky an angle and was saved by Tottenham goalkeeper Vorm. But Mane's shot was so powerful that Worm failed to hold the ball directly. Instead, he just blocked the ball and rolled it back into the small penalty area.
Just when Worm was about to make a second save, Velard, who rushed into the penalty area, had already taken the lead and made a flying tackle to shovel the ball into the goal.
After finishing the tackle, Velarde couldn't hold back his body. He slid into the arms of goalkeeper Worm, who was also unable to hold back his body during the second save. He kicked Worm so hard that he clutched his chest and screamed in pain.
The Tottenham players took the opportunity to gather around the referee Madley to demand an explanation, claiming that Willard violated the goalkeeper and the goal just now could not be counted.
However, the referee did not listen to them, and still ruled that Velarde's goal was valid, and then prepared to call in the team doctor to examine goalkeeper Vorm.
As a result, Worm stood up at this time and waved his hand to the team doctor who was preparing to enter the field, indicating that they did not need to enter the field.
In fact, Worm was not really injured. Velarde closed his foot in time, but the force was not very strong. He was just pretending, hoping that the referee would punish Velarde for a foul instead of scoring a goal.
But contrary to expectations, the referee did not call Velarde a foul, but still ruled that Velarde's follow-up goal was valid, so Worm got up quickly and refused to allow the team doctor to enter the field for inspection to avoid delaying time.
In the 34th minute of the first half, Willard opened the scoring for Liverpool and took a 1-0 lead at White Hart Lane.
The last EFL Cup game against Burton does not count, as Willard played too little time. In this game, Willard started and immediately played an important role, helping Liverpool score the first goal and break the deadlock.
There is no doubt that the terrifying Willard last season has appeared in the Premier League again. Velarde only played half of last season. Now that Willard can play a full season, what kind of performance he can deliver is very exciting.
