After Van Dijk stole the ball from Shen Xiao, he immediately passed the ball to Shaqiri.

In the 19-20 season, Liverpool fans loved and hated Shaqiri.

As a super winger in Switzerland, Shaqiri has performed very well in the national team and Bayern Munich.

After moving to Liverpool, under the guidance of Klopp, Shaqiri's performance in the Premier League was also very eye-catching.

But since the beginning of this season, Shaqiri has been suffering from injuries!

Every time when the team needs him, Shaqiri always suffers muscle strain at critical moments.

In just the first half of the Premier League season, Shaqiri stopped playing for nearly three months due to injury.

Many Liverpool fans once doubted whether Shaqiri had the attributes of a "glass man".

In many sports media, there are also many voices about selling Shaqiri.

Therefore, even the fans believe that Klopp cannot be blamed for not giving Shaqiri a chance, but that his own performance is temporarily not worthy of Uncle Zha's trust in him.

So in this winter window transfer period, it was a matter of course for Minamino Takumi to join Liverpool.

And for this man who was often injured and easily injured, his injuries finally healed again a few days ago.

Since he hasn't played a game for a long time, Klopp asked Shaqiri to come on and get a feel for the game in this FA Cup game.

However, Shaqiri's position on the field was arranged in the right midfield.

Obviously, Klopp didn't want him to directly confront the defensive players.

As a winger, what you need is speed and breakthrough.

However, these two things have always been the main causes of injuries to wingers.

Therefore, in this unimportant cup match, Klopp just asked Shaqiri to play in the midfield position and organize the team for a while.

Shaqiri received the ball from Van Dijk and then slowly dribbled forward along the right wing.

At present, Liverpool's trident of Origi, Firmino and Minamino are moving forward quickly.

Coventry's four defenders of Ross, Mason, Billy and Mike did not dare to be careless at this time.

The four of them immediately closely defended Liverpool's three forwards.

O'Harre, one of Coventry's defensive midfielders, immediately went to the right wing to interfere and steal Olic's dribbling.

At this time, Liverpool's other midfielder Fabinho also followed Shaqiri in a parallel movement.

Shaqiri deliberately glanced at Fabinho on his left, raised his right foot slightly and swung it twice in the air.

O'Harre thought Shaqiri was going to pass the ball to Fabinho, so he quickly turned his body to the side, preparing to block Shaqiri's passing route.

But the pass didn't happen!

When Shaqiri saw that O'Hare's body shifted his center of gravity, he immediately pushed the ball forward vigorously!

Football and Shaqiri quickly ran towards the frontcourt at the same time.

Shaqiri started on the spot and ran as fast as a runaway hare!

So fast!

Shaqiri, who is only 169cm tall, quickly dribbled the ball near the penalty area line.

Seeing this, Coventry left back Ross had to withdraw from the penalty area and ran towards Shaqiri.

Rose came to Shaqiri and blocked him with his body.

Compared with the short Shaqiri, Rose, who is 183cm, looks relatively tall.

Rose blocked Shaqiri's path, but at this time Shaqiri did not make another breakthrough.

Because his current position is near the sideline and baseline, it is very easy for Rose to intercept the ball or clear the sideline.

Shaqiri stepped back on the ball twice with his feet, and then passed the ball to Minamino Takumi, who was also on the right.

Shaqiri did not stop after passing the ball, but continued to run towards the bottom line of the penalty area.

After receiving the ball, Minamino Takumi understood, and he immediately passed the ball to the right front.

Shaqiri and Minamino played a simple one-two.

Shaqiri received the ball smoothly near the bottom line of the penalty area, and then he quickly looked up into the penalty area.

Cross from the bottom!

Shaqiri kicked the football high and passed it towards the center of the penalty area.

Coventry's central defender Billy and others were immediately shocked and hurriedly squeezed together with the Liverpool forward trio in the penalty area.

Fight for the header!

The ball is getting closer and closer, and the landing point in the penalty area is becoming clearer and clearer.

Billy, Mason and Mike stared closely at the flying football. The three of them, Minano and Origi pushed each other.

At this moment, Firmino, who was unmarked, jumped up high and slammed the ball into the net with his head.

The ball went in!

Maurosi had tried his best to save, but the distance between Firmino's header and the goal was too short!

"Goal! Goal! Goal!"

"The ball went in! Shaqiri made a beautiful cross!"

"Firmino scores with a header!"

Zhan Jun shouted excitedly in the live video room.

After the referee blew his whistle, his right hand pointed to the center line of the court.

After scoring, Firmino happily pointed with both hands at Shaqiri who assisted him.

He ran to Shaqiri's side and hugged Shaqiri excitedly.

The Anfield stadium suddenly became a sea of ​​joy.

The fans gave a warm round of applause!

Applause is not only given to Firmino who scored the goal, but also to Shaqiri who provided the assist.

Shaqiri also secretly breathed a sigh of relief at this time!

He, who has always been questioned as a "glass man", just performed a long-distance run and breakthrough.

But Liverpool's head coach Klopp stood up from his chair on the bench.

Klopp's expression was a bit serious at this time, and he called Shaqiri, who was celebrating with his teammates, to his side.

"Sheridan, your body has only recovered a little while ago. I'll just let you get familiar with the feel of the game in the midfield!"

"You can easily get injured if you waste your body like this!"

Klopp said solemnly to Shaqiri.

"Don't worry, coach!"

"The opponent is just a third-level league team!"

"To find the feeling in the game, you need to attack heartily like this!"

Faced with Klopp's questioning, Shaqiri replied indifferently.

"Anyway, be careful not to get injured. This game doesn't require too much effort!"

After Klopp said something softly, he went back to the bench and lay down comfortably.

But Coventry's head coach Robbins was very angry at this time!

"Billy, Mason, when you guys are fighting for a header, don't just focus on the ball! You should also focus on people!"

"O'Hare and Joe Bello, you two defensive midfielders, must also return to defense in time!"

"Players in the frontcourt, when running without the ball, you should also participate more in the team's defense!"

…

After Coventry conceded a goal, Robins criticized and guided all the players.

However, the one who was in the lowest mood at this time was undoubtedly Shen Xiao!

The team's conceding of the goal can also be said to be entirely due to Shen Xiao's possession of the ball being intercepted, and then Liverpool counterattacked.

"Shen Xiao, if you behave like this again later, just switch places with me!"

"In this game, defender is quite suitable for you!"
Chapter completed!
