ball at foot

The 1-0 score was not reversed until the midfield.After all, Newcastle has always been an underdog, and they are no longer what they used to be.

"If I'm still in my prime, you can't win." When exchanging jerseys with Zhao Yaning after the game, Shearer was still emotional, "I just can't do it when I'm old."

"Football is updated after all." Zhao Yaning said.

"Yeah, we also have to have a new striker." Shearer didn't say anything, but his eyes always made Zhao Yaning feel a little strange.Who are they looking at to succeed Alan Shearer?

After returning to Melwood, Liverpool also got a new lecture from Benitez. [

"The next game of the Champions League is April [-]th, and the FA Cup has already been eliminated, that is to say, we have nothing else to do for a long time, and during our current period, There is only one thing to do, and that is to collect points." When Benitez was in the locker room, he also announced his next plan, "The next Champions League game is April [-]th, before that, We have three league games and we have two games to play in addition to this one against Newcastle. Winning those three games and saving ourselves some extra points will be good for us for the rest of the game."

It means that the following games still have to give up... Everyone is somewhat used to Benitez's approach.After all, there are few people and they can't afford to play double lanes. There is no way around this.

In fact, from now to April 30th, there are only No. 30 rounds and No. 28 rounds of the Premier League.But because there are still [-] make-up matches in this round, Benitez said that there are three games.

Among them, there is also a national team match day in March.Zhao Yaning still has to go back to China to play an away game against Saudi Arabia and a home game against South Korea.

However, this period of time has passed, and when it comes to the Champions League, Alonso will almost be able to make a comeback.At that time, maybe the Champions League can go one step further.

In the next game against Blackburn, Liverpool ushered in another bad news: before this game, Hyypia had a bad stomach and caught up with stomach discomfort.The back line who had no problems for a whole season had to be rotated in this game.

Pellegrino switched to playing central defender, and finally made up for this loophole in front of him.

In the frontcourt, Benitez let Garcia go to the left in this game, and let Smicer play on the right-after all, Kewell hasn't recovered yet, and he doesn't want Kewell to play the game .As for the forward position, Benitez still insisted on using Morientes.

In the game, Blackburn was still the same. From the beginning of the game, they wanted to use active fighting to create opportunities for the team.The two sides fought fiercely from the very beginning.The roughness and fierce defense of the Blackburn players are the best in the Premier League. Playing against them is extremely difficult.In the away game, Liverpool's Baros paid the price of a broken leg, and this time, even though it was at Anfield, Blackburn was still very brutal.

Throughout the first half, both sides played without any achievements.Steven Gerrard received a yellow card for Liverpool, while Foley Crawford also received a yellow card for Blackburn.For the entire first half, the two sides struggled with the constant midfield interception and pressing, but nothing was gained.

But in the second half of the game, the situation of the game was a little better. After all, the physical strength of fighting was exhausted, and neither side could hold on to the whole game.Blackburn put on a full-back Mateo to play at the back and try to stick to it.

At this time, a huge problem for Liverpool was also exposed: their wingers really don't have any extraordinary ability. There is nothing they can do about such an opponent who can't hide.

Riise did try two long shots from the outside.But his feet were not going well, and he missed the goal with two consecutive feet.However, in the second half, Zhao Yaning successfully intercepted Nelson in the frontcourt and forcibly broke into the penalty area, but his kick was a step slower, and the ball was intercepted again.

It's basically grinding meat.

At the end of the game, Liverpool still found a chance. After shaking a few times, Zhao Yaning passed the ball into the penalty area. After receiving the ball, Morientes tried to turn around and break through, but was brought down by Mateo up.

penalty.

The penalty penalty made Blackburn immediately angry: both sides are fighting for defense, and Blackburn has almost no offensive ability. Giving Liverpool a penalty in this kind of game is simply killing the game.

But the referee insisted on the penalty very stubbornly.And Morientes stood on the penalty spot, stepped back, ran, and did it overnight!

Relying on the 1-0 victory brought about by this penalty kick, Liverpool once again scored three points.Although Blackburn coach Mark Hughes was furious after the game and said that the penalty was the culprit that killed the game, Liverpool was still very satisfied with the victory of this game. [

"I hope there will be some retribution for Liverpool - this kind of referee victory, they should pay for it."

Mark Hughes' words are obviously crow's mouth.After he finished speaking, Liverpool also drew their European opponents.

"Our opponent in the quarter-finals is Juventus."

There was silence in the locker room, no one knew what to say.

How could it be so unlucky to meet Juventus.

This is Juventus, the Juventus that dominates Serie A and looks at Europe.The Juventus with the highest odds of the Champions League, the Juventus with a lineup that makes people feel terrible.

Buffon, Thuram, Cannavaro, Zambrotta, Zebina.Outside such a set of guards, on the bench, are Chiellini, Barezza, Lerottaglie, Tudor, and Ferrara.In the midfield, there are Nedved, Appiah, Emerson, Camoranesi, on the bench, Blasi, Tacchinardi, the front line, Trezeguet, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is their main force, and they also have Del Piero on the bench.

And if the lineup is amazing, it may not necessarily be amazing: their head coach is Capello.Tactics, don't worry about them.They have never been a team that will show their flaws easily.

Terrible lineup, terrible thickness, terrible strength.Even if it is playing football games, it may not be possible to make up such a lineup.

"Why did we draw Juventus! Even Real Madrid lost, how can we play?" Someone complained in the locker room.

"Yeah, it is said that Juventus is best at playing underdogs. Aren't we the standard underdogs? It would be great to give us PSV Eindhoven or Inter Milan, maybe there is still some hope!"

Several people are complaining about their bad picks.

In these few games, almost no one cares about the match between Lyon and Eindhoven. Anyway, whoever wins will play a round in the semi-finals.

The match between Milan and Inter Milan seems to everyone to have no suspense.Although Inter Milan has improved this season, it is not Milan's opponent after all.Especially for a team like Milan that is working hard in the Champions League, it is even more impossible to lose to their rivals in the same city.As long as Milan is not as nonsense as last year and was staged a big comeback, it should not be a big problem.And considering the opponent Inter Milan, the possibility of such a comeback is not great.

As for Chelsea's game against Bayern, there are still some suspense: Although German football has declined enough, Bayern still has such a strong team after all.Ballack, Hargreaves, Kahn, these famous Bayern still have a certain strength.In the first round of the knockout round, they defeated Arsenal, which made their strength even more optimistic, and also made their match against Chelsea even more optimistic: many people count on it, relying on the strong will and team attributes of the Germans to stop Chelsea.

Moreover, because Mourinho could not produce tangible evidence that he saw Rijkaard enter the referee lounge, his speech was deemed improper and was suspended for two games.This also makes Bayern Munich fans feel that they can win.

Although there is suspense in this game, Zhao Yaning also doesn't think there is any difference: if the German's mental strength is useful, Bremen and Leverkusen will not lose miserably.In the final analysis, football is still a game of strength. Mental strength can allow you to go on when your strength is equal, but when your strength is too far apart, it is easy to distinguish the winner from the loser.

Chelsea's strength, after all, is still slightly better.

As for the match between Liverpool and Juventus... It was already unexpected for Liverpool to beat Leverkusen. What else can they expect to advance to the match against Juventus?

Although Capello said a lot of good things about Liverpool in the interview, and called Liverpool the nemesis of Juventus, but everyone knows that there is no need to mention what happened 20 years ago. up.Liverpool at the time of the Heysel tragedy is very different from Liverpool now.

In fact, in this draw, Liverpool still had a certain amount of luck in their hearts: Although Juventus, Chelsea, and Milan, the top three odds, have not been eliminated, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Manchester United, and Barcelona ranked 4-9. , Porto, and Monaco were all eliminated.Among the remaining teams, the odds of Lyon and Inter Milan are higher than Liverpool, but after all Lyon is a Ligue [-] team, Inter Milan has been weak all year round, and there is PSV Eindhoven, Liverpool thought it was possible to draw a good lottery Sex is still not small, but now it seems that it is really the most difficult bone to crack.

"Juventus is very strong." In the silence, Morientes said, "But it is not strong enough to be rivaled. At least, we have defeated them before." [

"You are Real Madrid." Gerrard looked up.

"And now, we are Liverpool," Morientes said. "Tell me, Liverpool, is it worse than Real Madrid and Juventus?"

"Of course not! But..."

"No but." Morientes stopped Gerrard, "Don't talk about strength. Seven years ago, I reached the Champions League final for the first time. Before beating Juventus, we hadn't won in 32 years. Champions of Europe, they are in the final of the Champions League for the third time in a row. But so what? We are Madrid, we are confident that we will not lose to anyone. Now, it is your turn to speak. Tell me, Stephan, you Is it really worse than them? Do you not believe in the name Liverpool that much?"

"This is Liverpool, you are here, you are the representative of this name." Morientes patted Gerrard, "Whether Liverpool's name will be shamed is up to you!"
