ball at foot

Alonso sacrificed his chance to play in the next game in exchange for a good defensive situation for Liverpool. This also let Mourinho know that it is probably impossible to win this game— — Not only in terms of tactics, Chelsea is completely at a disadvantage, but in terms of momentum, Liverpool also shows no sign of weakness.

In the final stage of the game, he made a tactical arrangement to stick to the defense.And this idea did play a role. After 90 minutes of the game, Liverpool only got a one-goal lead. The 1-0 away victory became Liverpool's final success.

Both sides are not very satisfied with this result. For Liverpool, this game is still unfinished. For Chelsea, this game still retains the hope of a comeback.

After the game, Mourinho also complained to the media for a long time as usual, "Our lineup is not neat, and too many injuries limit our strength. If we are neat, Liverpool can't be ours." Opponents. At Anfield, I am sure that we will advance. Don’t forget, we will win the league if we play one more game, and Liverpool’s No.3 position is now in jeopardy.”

"I don't think about the league, but in the Champions League, we have an advantage." Benitez's answer to this is a very simple sentence, "We are more likely to win. Not only because of the away game Goals, but also because we have nothing to pursue in the league. After all, we can use the rotation lineup in the next game and then play the main force in the Champions League. If they want to defend their title early and win the league title, they have to fight again." [

Such words are too unscrupulous. Where did Liverpool come from such a rotation lineup?It's just a group of substitutes.This is tantamount to telling Mourinho: We don't care about the league anymore, we just want to fight you to the end in the Champions League.

Facing this opponent, Mourinho was anxious and knew that these nonsense probably would not have much effect, so he immediately threw a second bomb to the media, "Our signings after the end of this season Already set. Next season, Chelsea's signings will focus on Arsenal's Ashley Cole, Liverpool's Stephen Gerrard and Manchester City's Wright-Phillips. For these three deals, Chelsea is determined to win."

In this case, it is also to create pressure.After all, now Chelsea's Champions League opponent is Liverpool, and the league opponent is Arsenal. Saying this is also to create pressure on the opponent, don't be obscene.

But Benitez immediately raised a question, "So, is William Gallachase ready to sell?"

Such a question made Mourinho feel angry again: Aren't you going to explain Gerrard's question?Such a guy who doesn't play cards with common sense is the most troublesome.

Gallas called for a transfer for a season, and if he wanted to sign Cole, he would definitely leave.Benitez dared to trust Gerrard, the soul of Liverpool at this time, but Mourinho did not dare to provoke Gallas at this time.

But the reporters, at this time, are not more concerned about their confrontation of swords and swords. Although those things are very important, compared with the Champions League games, they are still inferior after all.At this time, people are more concerned about two other things.

"Excuse me, Coach Mourinho, what do you think of the referee's decision in this game?"

Mourinho likes to complain about referees, which is already a consensus of everyone.Therefore, reporters also like to tease him for nothing to see what he has to say.The problem with the penalty in this game is not big, but Mourinho still said, "The referee took the card too casually. Our player received three yellow cards. This situation should not be. UEFA's The referees were deliberately targeting Chelsea because I exposed their referee collusion with Barcelona, ​​so they retaliated against us in the game."

Other coaches will definitely not say such words, but such words are the reporters' favorite.But Benitez was relieved: Fortunately, I didn't say that I also went to the referee lounge.

Another problem is that it targets two teams at the same time.

"This game is really not good enough..." When the reporters asked questions, they also paid attention to the wording, "When we arrive at Anfield, will we be able to enjoy a more exciting matchup?"

The reporters are still very measured, at least, they didn't say it in person, you bastards are playing defensively and don't attack, shouldn't enough be enough?

But Benitez and Mourinho's answers are surprisingly consistent.

"We will only play in the way that is best for the team."

In other words, you may still continue to be wretched at Anfield.

Because no matter who advances, it is the English team that advances. At this time, the media's attention is more on their beautiful games, or in other words, on the prestige of the English team.But now it seems that Liverpool and then Chelsea are really very simple: results first, good-looking football and so on, they are all scumbags.

I hope that the Anfield game will not disappoint us too much.Play better, will you die?

------------------------------------------[

While Liverpool beat Chelsea 1-0 away, Milan beat PSV Eindhoven 2-0 at home on another field.

Although Eindhoven can't be said to be the luckiest of the semi-finals, but at this point, they are almost at their limit.Although they did cause a lot of trouble for Milan in the game, after all, in terms of overall strength, they are still inferior to Milan.

And in this game, Shevchenko's goal also brought his number of goals to 6, becoming the third in the UEFA Champions League scorer list.

No.2 is naturally Zhao Yaning.Relying on the three goals against Leverkusen, his goal numbers have also improved. So far, he has seven goals.And No.1 is Ruud van Nistelrooy of Manchester United. He scored eight goals in six games in the group stage. Although he failed to score a goal in the knockout round, he still firmly sits at the top of the UEFA Champions League scorer list.

Both Shevchenko and Zhao Yaning scored goals, which made many Italian media a little bit aggrieved.They originally thought that with one game, Shevchenko could catch up with Zhao Yaning's number of goals in the Champions League. Who knew that the final result turned out to be that Zhao Yaning was still pressing Shevchenko.

"Zhao Zhaoqiang has seized too many shooting opportunities from his teammates." In this regard, the Italian media can't say anything. At the same time, his teammates were unable to score goals. This already shows the difference in the level of the two people. Moreover, Shevchenko was fighting against PSV Eindhoven, the former European Triple Crown team, while Zhao Yaning was against it. It is an English nouveau riche team that has never entered the Champions League final and has not won the league championship in 50 years. It is clear at a glance who is stronger and who is weaker.

For such words, Zhao Yaning, who returned to Liverpool, just sneered a few times, "Finally, I have reached the point where I can talk about everything...Eindhoven's Triple Crown Champions have come up with their own words, they are really capable."

Zhao Yaning doesn't hate Shevchenko, nor does he hate Milan, but he really hates these media.It would be fine if Shevchenko stood up and said something by himself, but Shevchenko didn't speak, and the media stood up every day to make a fuss, which made him very annoying.

"However, it is really possible for us to meet in the final." Speaking of this issue, Liverpool also had some ideas, "After all, we have an advantage now, maybe we can really go to the Champions League final and play against Milan. It's a game."

After the away victory over Chelsea, Liverpool is naturally a little proud.So what if Chelsea is so rampant?Didn't the result lose to us?Although their coach didn't shut up like the fans hoped, but the chatter of the losers is pretty good to listen to as a joke.

"It's still the same thing. Don't think about such distant things. It's more important to hurry up and prepare to win the next game. After all, if we can skip the Champions League play-offs, it means a lot to us."

In fact, at this time, Liverpool has benefited from Manchester United.Because Chelsea's No.30 seven rounds of the league are against Manchester United, Mourinho wants Manchester United to line up for Chelsea at Old Trafford, and even released such words a long time ago. Therefore, before they face Manchester United, on the How to win in advance.

Chelsea are very strong, but they are too greedy. Playing on several fronts together not only depends on results, but also on face. This is their biggest weakness.

Now Chelsea has 84 points, and with three rounds left, it is firmly at the top of the league table. Arsenal is second with 72 points, Liverpool is third with 71 points, and Manchester United is one game short with 65 points. Ranked fourth in the league.As long as Chelsea wins another victory, Arsenal will not be able to catch up with Chelsea even if they win the rest of the game.

Chelsea naturally hopes that Liverpool will fight hard in the league at this time. In the last three rounds, Liverpool faced Arsenal in one round.If they can win all three games, Liverpool's points can reach 81 points, and if Arsenal lose to Liverpool, then their points will be [-] points at most. If they make a slight mistake, Liverpool may get second.

And if Liverpool doesn't work hard, if Manchester United wins the remaining four games, they can chase the points to 77 points, maybe they can really overtake Liverpool.

If you can play in the Champions League with No.2 results, you can avoid the trouble of playing in the play-offs.Next season, Liverpool will have more time to prepare for the league.

It's just that Benitez doesn't want to do this: doing so requires winning the remaining three games, including a tough battle with Arsenal.At the same time, it is also necessary to count on Arsenal to make mistakes at the last minute and lose at least one victory before they can overtake them and not play in the play-offs.This kind of thing is a little too difficult.

Don't place your hopes on others.After weighing the pros and cons, Benitez still hopes to focus only on the Champions League.If it is just for one possibility, to fight for the remaining three league games, maybe it is possible to lose the Champions League. Benitez does not want to do such a thing.

But he doesn't think so, but it doesn't mean that Liverpool players don't think so.In any case, such a chance to get the second place in the league has appeared, and it is still very disappointing not to try it.

Anyway, go all out and try it out.What if, really can get the second place?
