ball at foot

After an away 30 win over Werder Bremen, Liverpool almost announced that they have entered the Champions League knockout round.

Three wins and three wins, nine points in the first place in the group. Last year, Liverpool was worried about qualifying for the group. This year, it has become other teams that need to worry about meeting Liverpool after qualifying for the group.

After returning to England, they soon received another good news.

In the tenth round of Chelsea's match, they finally failed to win.In the league, they had to swallow a draw after expending too much energy in the Champions League game in midweek.Obviously, Chelsea's grouping is not as good as Liverpool's.They consumed too much energy in the confrontation with Barcelona and had to fight harder in the Champions League, which made Liverpool's league finally recover some.

If there is anything that makes people unhappy, it is only the team that drew with Chelsea, but it happened to be Everton...[

"If only we were better." Regarding this, everyone would not complain in private.

"What's so good about a draw, the next time we meet, it's better to win against them." Everyone can only encourage each other like this, "Anyway, it's not like we haven't won against them."

But easier said than done.Chelsea's home game, the league record has always been outstanding. They haven't lost in the past year, and they haven't lost in this year. They are good at playing at home. This is recognized. It is obviously too difficult to win a victory in their home game. up.

But how do you know if you don't try?Didn't Liverpool lose at home last year?This year has not been conquered.Such things, if you don't work hard, there will never be satisfactory results.

In the weekend's game, Liverpool's opponent is an away game against Aston Villa.This time, Morientes, Garcia, Kewell and Zhao Yaning played together in the frontcourt, while Harman and Alonso were placed in the backcourt.

Obviously, Liverpool was also affected by the away game of the Champions League. Everyone was equally tired in the consecutive away games. Throughout the first half, Liverpool failed to score a goal.

But at the beginning of the second half, Liverpool suddenly accelerated.

The faster the pace of the game, the greater the physical exertion. This principle remains the same.In the first half, because you were overworked, Liverpool didn't increase their speed to play. This also made the situation of the game very stable. However, at the beginning of the second half, Liverpool's continuous attacks suddenly increased the rhythm.

This change made Aston Villa a little uncomfortable, and taking advantage of their unadaptability, Liverpool had already scored the first goal.

After several quick lateral runs in the middle, Zhao Yaning attracted the attention of most people in the backcourt.Then, he kicked the ball through and sent the ball to Garcia's feet on the right. Garcia hit a cross and Morientes kicked the goal.

The simplest way of playing is also the most effective way of playing.Such a three-person cooperative attack method seems simple, but Zhao Yaning's involvement, Garcia's running position and Morientes' shooting have all been brought to the extreme. It is actually quite difficult to achieve such a goal.

After one goal, Liverpool's attack returned to calm.With a lot of physical exertion, they have no interest in continuing to fight against their opponents, so their range of activities will soon shrink.

But this has stimulated Aston Villa to get involved in the overall situation. Faced with such an opportunity, Liverpool will naturally not let it go.

Zhao Yaning launched a counterattack after getting the ball once, and rushed directly from the left.After reaching the bottom line on the left, he did not choose to cross, but smashed the ball into the penalty area, and then handed the ball to Alonso who plugged in.But this time, Alonso did not pass the ball. He unexpectedly broke through with the ball, shot from a small angle, and scored the ball into the net!

"Javi Alonso scored his first goal of the season! Beautiful goal and Liverpool made it back again with a counter attack!"

This score has been maintained until the end.Liverpool 20 won again and took advantage of the opportunity to narrow the gap with Chelsea.

"If they draw and we lose, the disadvantage is not too great."

The Liverpool players were also very happy about this. They never thought that they would encounter trouble again in the middle of the week.And this trouble is bigger than imagined.

Liverpool unexpectedly lost to Crystal Palace in the third round of the English League Cup held in midweek. [

In this game, Zhao Yaning watched the game from the stands.Benitez didn't even put their main players on the substitute list. In his opinion, with Liverpool's strength in this game, even if only the reserve team and the substitutes were on the game, the game would be sure.

But obviously, things went beyond his imagination. In the opening 5 minutes, Kewell, who started the game, was knocked to the ground by his opponent when he was fighting for a header, and then raised his hand, indicating that he could not do it.

"Why every time I see Kewell injured, I have a feeling that this is normal? How many times has he been injured this year?"

Amidst the commentator's ridicule, Benitez had no choice but to replace Kewell.One person was missing at the beginning of the game, which obviously made the players very upset, but this was not the worst thing: in the second half, Gerrard, who came off the bench, was also injured in a fight.

Even Liverpool, who suffered consecutive losses, played hard in the second half of the game. In the end, the game was also lost by a score of 01. As the defending champion, Liverpool was disgraced in the third round of this year's League Cup.

"It's just a tasteless event, it's no big deal."

After the game, several people could only comfort each other like this.Fortunately, although the game was lost, it was of little significance. Trophies like the League Cup were meant to be won.Moreover, Gerrard's injury is not serious. Although he will not be able to play in the next game against West Ham United, he will definitely be able to play in the home game against Werder Bremen.On the contrary, Kewell was injured more seriously and needed to rest for about a month.

It's just that compared to these words, the attitude of the media after the game is even more infuriating.Several media have said that the biggest problem of Liverpool's loss to Crystal Palace may not be their lack of strength, but their improper attitude.Some people even suspected that they deliberately did not play well during the game and lost to Crystal Palace in order to retain enough energy to go further in the league.

"Who knows what they think? For Liverpool, the League Cup is nothing, the league is different."

Such rumors are rampant, and some people even ran to ask Benitez with the rumors.And for such words, Benitez's attitude is naturally extremely angry, "We injured two players and lost a cup in a disgraceful way, and now there are people who suspect that we have played match-fixing? This is illogical slander !"

Liverpool was very angry at such remarks, but it was the players, who have seen it a lot now, "They are here for the name Liverpool. Anyway, they will not make it easy for us. False kicks... It's ridiculous, Manchester United The rumors of contact have been circulating for so long, but they don’t care about it. And we were suspected of match-fixing because two people were injured and lost the game. Since we are so strong, why don’t they suspect that our loss to Chelsea was also a match-fix? It would be nice to have a rematch."

"Don't pay attention to them, that's what they are. Our past results are not strong enough, so we are molested by them. Win until they shut up."

After Gerrard boosted the morale of the team, his task was done.After all, he couldn't play against West Ham United, and he could only watch from the stands for the outcome of this game.

The adjustment Liverpool made was to put Zhao Yaning in the center, with Figo on the left and Garcia on the right.

But not long after the start of the game, Liverpool was broken by West Ham United.After West Ham defender Konchesky unleashed a blitz, he passed the ball long to Ashton.Although Ashton was immediately shoveled to the ground by Sissoko, it also gave West Ham a free kick.

Instead, he took advantage of this opportunity of a free kick, arranged for Ferdinand to grab points in the crowd, and took advantage of the chaos with a low shot to open the scoring for West Ham United.

"Liverpool's goal has been breached! This is the second Premier League team other than Chelsea to have broken Liverpool's gate this season. how."

Although the commentator was very excited, Liverpool was not greatly affected at this time.They were not proud of defending strictly and not conceding a goal.What they are really known for, and what they are proud of, is their ability to turn games around.

And soon, Liverpool equalized the score.

Alonso did not choose to pass the ball long this time, but let Maicon insert it, and he cooperated with him and rushed up together, and Maicon obviously understood his meaning very smartly: there is no outstanding player in the frontcourt. Ladd, the counter-robbing pressure is not enough, Liverpool needs to strengthen the backcourt pressure.And after he took a few steps forward, with a few shakes, he passed the ball to Alonso who was plugging in.

Alonso slammed the goal hard and kicked the ball straight out.Ferdinand blocked his shot, but Milito, who was close at hand, immediately made a follow-up shot!

"gooool!!! Liverpool once again showed their fearsome reversal ability in the game! 11 equalized, Liverpool tied the score, maybe, this is the prelude to another reversal? [

The commentator's words clearly became a prophecy, and soon Liverpool got another chance.

Zhao Yaning's long-range shot was saved from the bottom line, and Liverpool won a corner kick.

After looking at the position in the penalty area, Zhao Yaning took two steps back and kicked the ball to the back point!

Under normal circumstances, it is Liverpool's old captain Hyypia who stands in this position.But now, Hyypia is injured, and his replacement is Liverpool's new defender Vidic.Facing the flying ball, Vidic jumped up high, almost pressing down on Anton Ferdinand who jumped with him, a powerful header smashed the ball into the net!

"gooool!!! Nemanja Vidic scored his first goal for Liverpool! A ferocious header into the top of the goal! Brilliant defender, in this moment, he let people see him take over The possibility of Hyypia, Liverpool has found a final defender successor! Vidic announced his arrival to the whole Premier League with a goal. Now, Liverpool can proudly say that they have the best defender in the Premier League. The back line is on!"
