football dynasty

After the third round of the group stage, Liverpool scored two wins and one draw, scoring seven points and ranking first.Leverkusen consolidated their No.2 position in the group stage by beating Valencia. With two wins and one loss, they ranked second with six points, while Valencia held the original points and scored two. points, ranking third, as for Genk Football Club, it continues to be at the bottom with one point.

At this time, the situation in Group E of the Champions League has become relatively clear. Liverpool has basically locked in a promotion spot. The only suspense is whether Leverkusen can reverse Liverpool and win the top spot in the group stage.After all, the first place in the group stage can avoid the first place in other group matches, and there is a greater chance of meeting weaker opponents in the knockout stage.

Although Valencia only has two points, he is not without a chance. First of all, in the next round of the Champions League group stage, he will play against Leverkusen again. This time it will be Leverkusen at home.As long as they win Leverkusen, there will be only one point difference between him and Leverkusen, so he will be Leverkusen's biggest opponent for another promotion.

As for Genk Football Club, as they said after losing to Liverpool, the most in line with their status is not to advance to the Champions League knockout rounds, but to get third in the group stage and go to the Europa League to continue their European career.

…………

Back in the league, Liverpool played against Norwich at home.

Levi made a substantial rotation, and none of the players who started in the Champions League can start this game. They either sat on the bench or sat in the stands.

In the goalkeeper position, Levi let Neuer sit on the bench for the first time in the league, and the teenager Mattia Palin started the game.

Although Mattia Palin is Liverpool's second goalkeeper, his number of games is actually quite a lot.First of all, in the cup matches, whether it is the FA Cup or the League Cup, Li Wei insisted on letting Mattia Palin start, and there are occasional opportunities to play in the league. Although there are not many, this is also a good exercise Chance.In addition, Mattia Palin is still the main force in the Liverpool reserve team. In fact, this main force should be the third goalkeeper.

However, Liverpool's third goalkeeper is a 32-year-old English hukou introduced in the free transfer market. He has never played in the Premier League in his career, and has been in the lower leagues such as the British Championship and League One for a long time.Even before he joined, Li Wei didn't even know his name. It wasn't until the team reported that he knew his name was Sullivan from the opponent.

And Liverpool bought him back, and Sullivan knew the reason very well, he was just making up the numbers.And he is very clear about his position in Liverpool. He is a pensioner. By the way, he made his resume a little more exciting in the late career.

Although the game intensity of the reserve team is not as strong as that of the Premier League, the level of the reserve team is actually not bad. Occasionally, some stars who have just returned from injury will be sent to the reserve team to find their status. Don't be surprised for the star, this is not a falling out between the star and the head coach of the club, it's just normal leveling to find status.

And in the reserve team, this Italian lad who once played in the youth team has shown amazing potential.Last season, Mattia Palin played well in the Liverpool reserve team and helped the team win the Premier League Reserve Northern Division Championship.

Levi also remembers that Mattia Palin was different from other goalkeepers who became famous at the age of 25 and six. He became famous early on.Mattia Palin also became famous at this age in history.

Li Wei let Mattia Palin start, which is actually a move to appease the opponent. Li Wei has clearly felt that Mattia Palin is dissatisfied with his status as a substitute, and he wants more opportunities to play.Of course, Mattia Palin is also very aware of the gap between himself and Neuer. This gap is not only a gap in strength, but also a gap in age.

Neuer is only 25 years old now. Although Mattia Palin is very young, it is obviously an unrealistic goal to get rid of Neuer.

Therefore, Mattia Palin has already begun to think about leaving Liverpool. Of course, it is not necessarily a transfer, maybe a loan. He wants more opportunities to play.

Li Wei is not angry about this, although he also wants to leave a safe enough candidate in the second goalkeeper position. After all, no one can guarantee that Neuer will not be injured.But Li Wei is more aware that a top goalkeeper must have a heart that is not willing to be left behind. Mattia Palin's idea is good.

It’s just that Li Wei is not going to let Mattia Palin go in a short time, so he needs to use a league start to reward the opponent’s recent outstanding performance and appease him, so that Li Wei has enough time to find a suitable substitute. Tia Palin's goalkeeper.

At the guard position, Li Wei tried a brand new combination, Flanagan right back, Ben Kyle Bartley on loan from Arsenal partner Feng Xiaoting, left back Danny Rose.

Gerrard and Pirlo did not play in the midfield, and they all sat on the bench.Charlie Adam and Moussa Sissoko form a double midfielder, Hazard as a midfielder.

Thomas Müller was on the left, Lewandowski was on the center and Griezmann was on the right.

The game was very stalemate at one point, but in stoppage time in the first half, Liverpool created a chance that was not a chance by virtue of their active running.

Although Russell Martin, who was defending Lewandowski, broke off the football, he made a mistake in making a clearance. The football fell to Thomas Muller's feet, and the German decisively took the ball into the penalty area.Because the Norwich players did not expect to make a mistake in the siege, they were obviously unprepared for Thomas Muller's breakthrough. Nearly twelve yards to the left of the restricted area.

Thomas Muller made a fake move and shot, but he didn't completely deceive the central defender Tierney. He didn't want to be wrong. The football hit Tierney's calf and was refracted. Goalkeeper Rooney found out sadly after making a save. Refracted by the football, I can only watch in grief and indignation that the football draws an arc at an unpleasant speed, slowly flies past me, and flies into the goal.

But in the second half, Liverpool's state suddenly became worse. Charlie Adam was as easy to get a card as ever. It didn't take long before the second half started, and he applied for a yellow card.

Levi didn't care too much at the time. In fact, Charlie Adam's position in Liverpool was a role similar to that of a thug.

Of course, this thug does not really let Charlie Adam hit people on the court, but is similar to the role of Roy Keane and Vieira.In Manchester United with Roy Keane back then, very few players dared to attack Manchester United players, because they knew very well that as long as they dared to do so, Roy Keane would dare to retaliate immediately, and even break your leg .

Vieira's role in Arsenal is also the same as that of Roy Keane, so whenever the two teams confront each other, the two will become the focus of the field, and the conflict that broke out between them has become a topic of discussion among fans. Famous is the conflict between the two once broke out in the 1998-1999 FA Cup semi-finals. The two fought, and the result was that the shorter Roy Keane (180cm) overturned the 1.9-meter-one French big Han Vieira .

Daring to take the cards, not afraid to take the cards, the savage defensive Charlie Adam is Liverpool's deterrent weapon. Whoever dares to slap a Liverpool player, Levi will let Charlie Adam break his leg.

But success is Charlie Adam, and failure is Charlie Adam.

Soon, in the No. 60 minute, Charlie Adam got his second yellow card of the game because of a savage defense. Two yellow cards turned into one red, and he went back to the locker room to wash and sleep.And gave Norwich a pretty good set piece.

The set-piece was taken, and the Norwich striker, who came on as a substitute, beat Felipe Luiz and Kyle Bartley in the penalty area with a header from six meters in front of the goal.The header was so close that Mattia Palin had time to instinctively wave his hand, but missed the football, which scraped the post and flew into the net.

Norwich 1:1 Liverpool, equalized the score.

The worst thing is that Liverpool needs ten players to face off in the next game.

The end of Charlie Adam made Li Wei realize more deeply that Charlie Adam is a sharp sword, but it is also a double-edged sword. If he is not controlled well, he will hurt himself before hurting others.

Levy replaced Hazard and replaced Nainggolan to fill Charlie Adam's position.Hazard's original position allowed Griezmann and Thomas Muller to take turns retreating and part-time the task of the front midfielder.

Hazard was a little unhappy when he left the field, and Li Wei hugged him and said a few words of comfort.

In the No.705 minute, Li Wei once again used the remaining two substitutions.Suarez replaced Thomas Muller, and Lallana replaced Felipe Luiz. He was going to play as a midfielder.

In the final game time, Li Wei did not hesitate to play a three-back formation, but also to strengthen the offense.

It's a pity that Liverpool failed to break through Norwich's iron barrel formation in the end. They always lacked some luck.

Liverpool was tied 1:1 by Norwich at home.

After nine rounds of the league, Liverpool only achieved four wins, three draws and two losses, accumulating fifteen points.

On the contrary, the two clubs in Manchester City have shown a vigorous attitude this season. Manchester United has maintained an unbeaten record in the first eight rounds of the league, with six wins and two draws, accumulating [-] points.

Manchester City performed better than Manchester United. They not only maintained an unbeaten record in the first eight rounds of the league, but also achieved seven wins and one tie, including 5:1 Tottenham Hotspur and 2:0 Everton. The record of defeating strong teams is not all about scoring points against weak teams.

The reason why we only talk about the results of the eighth round of the Manchester duo and not the ninth round is because Liverpool's ninth round of the league starts three hours earlier than the Manchester duo.The ninth round of the league is also a game worthy of attention for the Manchester City duo-because this is a battle of Tianwangshan, the number one Manchester City is a guest at Old Trafford, challenging the former Premier League overlord Manchester United.
