ball at foot

Although the Champions League is an important game, Liverpool still have leagues to play at this time.After returning from Turin, only one day later, Liverpool and Tottenham started a league match.

The Liverpool players obviously didn't play the away game. After all, they just finished playing Juventus on the [-]th, got off the plane on the [-]th, and will face Tottenham again on the [-]th. They are really tired.

In order to make the players more adaptable to the game, Liverpool had to make a rotation: Gerrard just recovered from his injury and returned with an injury, while Warnock, Pellegrino, and Morientes all made rotations debut.

But at the beginning of the game, Liverpool lost in midfield and was scored by Tottenham, which also made Benitez have to accept the fact that Warnock is really not a qualified starter.

Just 26 minutes into the game, Riise, who originally got a chance to take a rest, had to come off the bench at this time. [

At the end of the first half of the game, after Zhao Yaning passed a long pass to Morientes, Morientes scored with a header and equalized for Liverpool. After the second half began, after a cooperation with Garcia, Zhao Yaning scored again with a long shot in front of the goal. While Liverpool overtook the score, it also ended the seven-round drought from the game against Fulham to the present.

And this goal also brought his league goals to 19-but he was still the third in the league's top scorer list.Andy Johansen scored his tenth penalty of the season the other day, bringing the tally to 21.Although Henry has been injured, it is uncertain whether he can come back this season, but before the injury, his two hat-tricks allowed him to score 25 goals, still ranking first in the league.

Although it was a good thing that Zhao Yaning scored the goal, Liverpool immediately missed another opportunity: After Zhao Yaning broke through the penalty area, he was knocked to the ground by the Tottenham defender, which won Liverpool a penalty kick.However, Gerrard, who took the penalty kick, slipped a penalty kick close to the goal and missed the chance to seal the victory.

At the last moment of the game, Tottenham took advantage of a corner kick and turned the score into a 2-2 tie.

"From now on I will never take a penalty kick again."

Back in the locker room, Gerrard swore and swore at the street.Because of his missed penalty, Liverpool turned their three points into one, a result that made him very unhappy.

"It would be great if Danny was still there. He has never had a problem with penalty kicks." Carragher also complained about this. "If he was still there, we wouldn't lose points."

"It's useless to say that, just play well in the next game. Anyway, Manchester United can't catch up with us now, and it will be difficult for us to catch up with Arsenal. Don't worry about such a game." Zhao Yaning comforted, " For the next game, just win it.”

Because Arsenal and Manchester United both have FA Cup games to play, their No. 30 rounds have been postponed.This has further narrowed the gap between Liverpool and Arsenal in the standings, and then further widened the gap between Manchester United.Although such a score will be made up in the end, it is still very gratifying to see the gap change at this time.

But at this time, Benitez told them a piece of bad news, "We cannot change the time for our next league game."

Because the game against Chelsea was on Tuesday, April 28, and the league game was on Sunday, April 26, Liverpool approached the FA and tried to move the game to Saturday to give The team's buffer time of the day.However, the FA rejected this proposal, and they still demanded to maintain the original game time.

"But Chelsea's game is on Saturday." The players were very dissatisfied with this. "The buffer time for their league and cup games is about two days, but we only have one day. The FA is not fair at all."

This point was not brought up by Liverpool first, but Ferguson of Manchester United was the first to criticize Chelsea for being taken care of by the FA, the rest time was longer, and most of the games started at night, which was better than other teams.But in this regard, Mourinho immediately retorted, saying that Manchester United can always get a lot of penalties during the game, and Wenger also jumped out at the time, saying that if Manchester United did not have referees to take care of them, they would be a mid-range team like Liverpool. And Arsenal was the one who was really plotted by the referee. If Arsenal got the same care as Chelsea and Manchester United, Arsenal would lead the standings, and Mourinho immediately said that Wenger is a voyeur who just likes to stare at others The team looks at...

There are already many wars of words in the Premier League, and since Mourinho came, the Premier League has never lacked the soil for quarrels.

"The game against Chelsea is definitely not going to be easy." Benitez's words were unanimously agreed by everyone. A game against a team like Chelsea must be full of a lot of running, confrontation, mutual fouls, and muscular teams. , is always the most tiring.

"So, this game against Crystal Palace, let's give up."

"Give up again..." This sentence made the players complain, "Crystal Palace is the bottom of the league..."

But the situation forced Liverpool to have no more good choices.In this game, Liverpool drew 1-1 away from the bottom team Crystal Palace.Crouch scored a goal for Crystal Palace, and in the final stage of the game, Zhao Yaning assisted Morientes to score a goal. The game between the two sides ended in a 1-1 draw.

"I don't know whether we should complain about Liverpool's passive response, or whether we should complain about Liverpool's insufficient gifts: for the other relegation teams, they are all generous and directly give three points!" [

The media is also extremely dissatisfied with Liverpool's accumulated strength to prepare for the Champions League. When you play against a strong team, you thrive. You play against Juventus, Manchester United, and Chelsea. Sometimes, it's all kinds of embarrassing losses. What do you want to do in this kind of game?Are you trying to express your hatred for gambling with practical actions?

"Does Coach Benitez still think that they will beat Mourinho's Chelsea in the Champions League? You know, Mourinho has always been a master of key battles. He is a born winner. In two rounds of the Champions League, Chelsea is the king." The wind is full, and the confrontation with Liverpool, in the League Cup final, Chelsea had already beaten Liverpool to the ground, and never dealt with it. If it weren't for the stupidity of the referee, Mourinho was sent out, Liverpool would be inevitable Failed. Don't Liverpool understand such a thing? Do they think they can win this game?"

And at this time, the war of words started as everyone expected.Not surprisingly, almost all the media are optimistic about Chelsea.

"Why do I feel that after I arrived at Liverpool, this year seems to have been repeatedly notified by the media, how strong is our opponent? It seems that when we played in the Champions League last year, Chelsea hadn't been blown to this level Well." Zhao Yaning was very disgusted with such things, and when he was interviewed, he also directly stated, "Chelsea is a strong team, otherwise it would be impossible to enter the semi-finals. However, they are still much worse than Juventus. Yes, we can definitely beat them."

The media is constantly increasing the pressure on Liverpool. Liverpool does not seem to be Chelsea's opponent. On the other hand, the relationship between Chelsea and the media is stronger than Liverpool. Naturally, they are also putting pressure on Liverpool through the media. It's very easy to do.Faced with such a situation, Zhao Yaning really couldn’t stand the media asking him how much pressure he had every day, so he simply said harsh words to the media, “Chelsea and Mourinho both lost to me last year. A group of losers hugged him. Licking each other's wounds together will defeat me? I don't think so."

Zhao Yaning’s words caused a lot of controversy.He rarely speaks to the media, but that's why his claim that he can beat Chelsea is all the more credible.After all, Mourinho has almost scolded the whole of Europe this season, and everyone knows what he said without an interview.It was the first time Zhao Yaning said such words, and his credibility was higher.

However, some media are still optimistic about Chelsea, and they don't know from what angle they came to the conclusion: Chelsea has the style of king.

Even though they lost all away games in the knockout rounds, they are completely at a disadvantage against Arsenal in the league. If God helps them to play against the underdogs, but they are unable to play against the strong teams, in the eyes of the media, they are already the strongest team in Europe. one of them.

On the road to Chelsea's rise, it has always attracted most of the media attention.But in fact, the media's attention to them has always been mostly positive and less negative.If Mourinho's madness is exposed, it will be said to be overreaching when it comes to others, but it will only be said to be domineering when it comes to Chelsea.If others are the leaders and fail to win the game against a weaker team, the media will blame them for their downturn, but for Chelsea, the media will blame the opponent for retreating and shrinking.

Although Chelsea portrayed themselves in front of the media as a representative of a grassroots team that was persecuted by g14 and a model of a revolutionary team that had the courage to challenge the giants, their relationship with the media has never been bad.

At this time, Zhao Yaning didn't bother to pay attention to the media. He had already entered his own space and watched the gains of these days.

After the first game, the card exchanged with Trezeguet was a 2 card named 'Hunter', which was a balance 2 card, while the card exchanged with Nedved in the second game was is an 'Iron Man' card, stability 4

Zhao Yaning used the cards with balance 2 at will, which also brought his balance to 18, and the cards that increased stability had some problems.

His attribute is already 17, and with this card, it becomes 20, and another item has reached the full value.

It's almost fully enhanced.Looking at his attributes, Zhao Yaning also gained a lot of confidence.

In the three games against Chelsea, 300 minutes, Liverpool Gerrard Alonso was present for a total of 28 minutes.And now, Gerrard and Alonso can finally play at the same time. Our backcourt strength has improved a lot. This is the strongest Liverpool.

One ebbs and another, Chelsea's bilateral road, Duff Robben is injured at the same time, without two counterattack points, how strong can Chelsea be?

Want to be a dynasty?Do you think you are number one in the world?Money can buy stars, praise, and confidence when playing against weak teams.However, now at the level of the Champions League semi-finals, there are no underdogs anymore.Who wins and who loses, but it all depends on strength.

Can you lead this nouveau riche to the top four of the Champions League and prove that you are a real champion coach? Let's talk about it after the comparison.
