Chapter 443 Liverpool with plummeting grades

Compared with the successive victories of the youth team, the situation of Liverpool's first team is much worse.

After losing Alonso, although he bought Motta.

But this season, Mota has shown the attributes of a glass man. In the second round of the Premier League match between Liverpool and Stoke City, although he helped the team beat Stokes 4-0, he felt discomfort in the calf muscles after the game. It's a muscle strain, out for at least two weeks.

After losing Motta, Benitez chose Lucas to partner with Mascherano. However, Lucas is an engineer, not an organizational midfielder. He cannot take on the tasks of Alonso or Motta.

In the third round of the Premier League, Liverpool lost 1:3 to Aston Villa at home.

In the fourth round of the Premier League, although Liverpool beat Bolton 3:2 away, everyone knows that this game is very thrilling and very difficult to win.

In the fifth round of the Premier League, Benitez took the risk to let Motta play. In the first half, Motta assisted Torres to lead Burnley 2-0. However, just after the second half started, Motta was unable to stand up and was forced to leave the field due to injury. .

Although Liverpool finally slaughtered Burnley 4-0 at Anfield, Benitez's expression did not look so happy.Just team doctor John Wolfgang has given a very bad diagnosis report to Benitez, Mota calf muscle injury aggravated, at least one month of truce.

For Benitez, it was tantamount to a bolt from the blue.

However, Master Bei deserves to be Master Bei. He quickly found a way to hand over the responsibility of organizing to Gerrard, and asked Mascherano and Lucas to protect Gerrard.

Finally, in the sixth round of the league, Liverpool defeated the "Hammer Gang" West Ham United 3:2 with Gerrard's long-range shot and Torres scoring twice.

However, the state of Liverpool is not stable. In October, Liverpool ushered in a two-game losing streak in the league and a three-game losing streak in the season. If the 0:2 loss to Chelsea is justifiable, then the 0:1 loss to "Black Cat" San Delan and the Champions League home 0:2 Fiorentina are a bit surprising.

Sunderland is a well-known relegation team in the Premier League. Although Fiorentina is a strong team in Serie A, in the case of the overall decline in Serie A, Fiorentina is no longer the one that can compete with Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan. Serie A Seven Sisters.

In contrast, Liverpool is stronger than these two teams in terms of fame and strength on paper. However, under such circumstances, Liverpool actually lost.People are worried about Liverpool's future.

Just when everyone thought that Liverpool was about to usher in a three-game losing streak in the league and a four-game losing streak in the season, Liverpool defeated the mighty Manchester United 2-0 at home and won the English derby.

There is another voice of praise in the media.

However, Liverpool this season is destined to be unpredictable. After winning the English derby, in the third round of the Champions League, Liverpool lost 1:2 away to Ligue 11 champion Lyon. Lost away, they lost to Fulham 1:3.

On November 1th, in the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Liverpool was tied 1:[-] by Lyon at Anfield!

After four rounds of group matches, Liverpool only won one game, drew one game, lost two games, and ranked third in the group with only four points!

If they win all of their next two group matches, Liverpool will miss out on the last [-] of the Champions League.

There was a voice in the media that Benitez dismissed get out of class and Levi coached the team midway.

Even the "Liverpool Echo", which has always been the mouthpiece of the Liverpool club, is also claiming: "If Benitez can't improve the dilemma in the league and make a breakthrough in the Champions League. He will replace Benitez as the head coach of the team."

…………

Although the media reports are somewhat different from reality, he also put a lot of pressure on Benitez.

After the team was tied by Lyon in the fourth round of the group stage, Li Wei and the business director Al went to the training ground to find Benitez in person and said to him: "The club's financial problems are very serious. Breaking through the group stage, even if it is only entering the top [-], can greatly improve the team's situation. Otherwise, next season, in order to make up for financial problems, the team can only continue to sell one or two main players."

The financial director, Al, eased the atmosphere: "The team's record is not very good recently, and various rumors have begun to appear in the outside media, but please rest assured that the club still has full trust in you. I believe that the current setback is only temporary. You Still the best manager for the club."

Li Wei also said on the sidelines: "Compared to me, you are more familiar with the club. If you can't lead the club out of the predicament, I don't have the confidence to do better than you."

Benitez seemed a little silent, and after a long while, he responded rigidly: "Please believe that the team's performance will be improved soon."

…………

In the No.12 round of the Premier League, Liverpool played against Birmingham at home.

Li Wei personally led the club's top management to watch the game at Anfield Stadium. From the media's point of view, this is a supervising battle.

The game has not yet started, and the on-site commentator has begun to explain the history of the recent battle between Liverpool and Birmingham for the fans.

"Liverpool has two wins and four draws against Birmingham in the last six games, but both victories have come in cup games, but they have drawn all four in the league. Birmingham is also the team that Benitez has never won in the Premier League. Can Benitez break this embarrassing record in this game? In addition, the two sides have faced each other ten times in the history of the Premier League, and Liverpool has two wins, five draws and three losses. The record of wins, 110 draws and 56 losses is dominant."

In this game, Torres was unable to play due to a groin injury. Torres was replaced by French striker David Ngog. It is worth mentioning that David Ngog's cousin is the French international Boumsson.And he himself was brought to Anfield from Paris Saint-Germain by Liverpool in the summer of 2008 with a transfer fee of 150 million pounds. He played [-] times for Liverpool last season and scored two goals.

Everyone has a question mark for Ngog, can he really replace Torres, or even play [-]% of Torres' role?
Not only was Torres injured, the main central defender Carragher was suspended and missed the game.

Fortunately, the team's main players Glenn Johnson, Riera and Skrtel returned from injury, and Gerrard entered the bench because of the rotation problem.

What is worth mentioning about Birmingham is that their goalkeeper is Joe Hart, Levi’s former disciple. When he was loaned to Birmingham, it was Levi’s suggestion to the club and Joe Hart himself. For this reason, Joe Hart was loaned to Birmingham One and a half seasons.
