Chapter 555 The visit of the old friend

Before the draw, Liverpool thought that what they encountered would not be a too strong team.After all, this is only the matchup of the top [-] of the Champions League. If the strong teams meet too early, it will easily cause the subsequent games to be unsightly. Therefore, they believe that even if the Champions League is for broadcasting fees, they cannot let them draw. The opponent in the game is too bad, right?

Those who are more pessimistic believe that Liverpool is likely to encounter Real Madrid-the contradiction between Zhao Yaning and Real Madrid is not shallow, and there are also many entanglements between Liverpool and Real Madrid. With the virtue of UEFA, it is easy to do this. kind of thing.

However, getting Bayern was indeed a bit unexpected.

Although Bayern's lineup is not as good as Real Madrid's, their strength is also in the middle of the Champions League, but if the lineup is reasonable, they are better than Real Madrid. .

Their goalkeeper is Kahn, and the defense is Sagnol, Lucio, Ismail and Lizarazu.Such a defensive line is very strong. Although the two wings are a bit old, Sagnol and Lizarazu are not full-backs who rely on speed to make a living. Their crossing ability is very good. Especially after getting older, the skill of the 45-degree long pass is getting more and more profound, and the strength is still not to be underestimated.Not to mention anything else, let's just say that Lahm, who performed well in the Bundesliga last season, returned to Bayern this season. Most of the time, he was Lizarazu's substitute rotation player. [

And their midfield has excellent defensive players such as Hargreaves, Jeremys, Demichelis, Ze Roberto, etc., as well as Ballack, Deisler, Karimi, Sauer, Schweinsteiger et al.

Among these few people, Saul is already old and his opportunities are getting less and less.And Demichelis used to appear more in the guard position, but this season, after Bayern coach Magath mentioned him to the midfielder position on a whim, he played the best season of his career instead.But even so, there are still others in front of him: the combination of Jeremiah and Hargreaves, the old and the young, is still Bayern's best defensive guarantee.

And although their attack line is slightly weaker, they are still powerful.Needless to say, Barack, Deisler's talent is very good, and he still plays well occasionally.And Karimi is also a leader among Asian players. Although Schweinsteiger is immature, he is also a very well-regulated main force of the giants.

As for the forward position, Ma Kai and Pizarro are usually the main players, while Santa Cruz, who is hailed by the European media as the most handsome guy in football, is on the bench.Although the fame of these few people is not too great, but when it comes to strength, they are still quite good.

Although the strength of this team cannot be said to be a top-notch team, they are all powerful factions whose strength is greater than their reputation, and their style of play is very tough. When they meet, it is inevitable that they will fight fiercely.

Although against Real Madrid, it is very likely to be killed by the opponent's superstar with various unexpected attacks, but everyone is still more willing to play against Real Madrid: after all, an open opponent's battle can save some energy, and against Bayern, kick In a fierce battle, even if the chances of winning are greater, the consumption will definitely be greater.This season's Liverpool, thinking about the league championship, hope to save some energy, and any consumption is very troublesome for Liverpool.

Not just Liverpool, but several other Premier League teams are not very lucky.

Arsenal are as unlucky as Liverpool, they drew the second most powerful Real Madrid in the group.

This year's Real Madrid has actually shown a decline.In the group stage, they were completely defeated by Lyon and fell to the second place in the group.But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Real Madrid will be Real Madrid at any time. No one wants to meet a team composed of Ronaldinho, Raul, Zidane, Beckham and others.

Chelsea, on the other hand, was unlucky: they directly drew Milan.As the strongest team in the Champions League in recent years, anyone who meets Milan will feel uncomfortable.Although Ancelotti has a command like a pig, but relying on on-the-spot command to win, who can guarantee that he can do it every time?

"The draws of the three teams in England are obviously not very good. None of them can be sure that they will be able to win, and they need to work hard."

The words of the reporters revealed the common problems of the three teams.They all have the hope of advancing, and they all have great hopes, but the problem is that if they want to advance, they cannot take the game too lightly.This also makes them all have to face the pressure of two-line combat.

Arsenal have fallen behind now, and it can even be said that their troubles have become a problem for winning the fourth place.However, the entanglement between Liverpool and Chelsea has not yet been resolved, and it is not clear who will win and who will win. At this time, they have to be distracted to go to the European war. It can be said that the pressure on the three is not light.

However, Manchester United, which was eliminated, is now considered to be relieved.If it weren't for the huge profits from the Champions League, which would be related to the flow of tens of millions of funds, and Manchester United really didn't have much competitiveness in the league this season, everyone would even start to wonder if it was intentional for these guys to be out at the bottom...

"It seems that we don't have any shortcuts." After watching the opponent's situation, Gerrard sighed, "But it's okay, let's go and meet this Bundesliga giant. There is still time in the Champions League, and there is still time in the Champions League. Before that, let us, first and Chelsea, see if we win or lose in the league!"——

In fact, when Gerrard said this, the big and small media in England were also hyping Liverpool's next league game.It's not because their opponents are strong, or because Liverpool can overtake Chelsea after this game, but because, this time, their opponent is Newcastle, and the opponent they face is Liverpool's former golden boy Owen.

And this game happened to be Liverpool's home game. Owen's return to Anfield has also become the key information that people pay attention to.

And Owen himself, before the game, also accepted interviews with reporters.And one of the questions that reporters are most concerned about is: In this game, if Irving scores a goal, will he celebrate the goal.

Although the relationship between Liverpool and Irving is already very bad, after all, Liverpool is where Irving grew up and where he became famous.Famous stars have returned to the place where they grew up. After all, most players choose not to celebrate.Even, some stars who have been transferred have shed tears when facing their old clubs.Everyone also wants to know what Owen will do if he returns to Liverpool. [

In an interview, Owen directly expressed his attitude, "Of course I will celebrate my goal, as long as I score Liverpool's goal, I will definitely celebrate, just like I played West Ham last Saturday. I don't feel guilty or embarrassed, but I also don't rush to Liverpool's dugout and make the V sign."

Obviously, Owen felt that he should celebrate. If he didn't provoke him, it would be considered as a face.

He also specifically explained his attitude, "I hope the fans in the kop stand can understand that I must now be 100% loyal to another club. I once saw a scene with Carragher that a player didn't celebrate after breaking the old goal. I Neither could understand why he didn't celebrate. I scored a goal anyway, so I will."

Owen's words naturally made the fans extremely dissatisfied.How can fans accept a player who says he wants to celebrate on their turf and asks them to forgive him on the other hand?

"We don't need to listen to what a striker of a relegation team has to say." In the Liverpool newspaper, the interviewed fan representative said with anger, "We have other things to do: we want to celebrate winning the championship. Knowing how busy we are now: of course he doesn't know how busy the celebration of the Club World Cup is, he hasn't even touched the Champions League!"

Owen's words not only caused an uproar outside, but also made Carragher swear in the locker room.It is obviously not kind to talk to him at this time.Carragher himself has always been ashamed, but getting involved with this kind of thing really upsets him.

"You didn't really say that, did you?" The teammates couldn't help asking.

"Some situations are different." Carragher said with a red face, "Some players who were actively sold by the team did not celebrate the old man's goal. He said he thought it was strange. I watched a game for fun, didn't it? Do you still want to quarrel with him? His situation is completely different."

A few of them were talking on the sidelines, and in the locker room, Gerrard was even more silent.He couldn't say anything. Although Owen used to be his friend, Irving's attitude towards the team made him not know what to say.He was confused once, and he cannot continue to be wrong.

"It turns out that in his eyes, Liverpool and West Ham United are the same." Garcia couldn't help sneering when he read the newspaper, "And, what's even more interesting is that he actually talked about loyalty with us. This It was ironic that the words came out of his mouth..."

"I forgive him a little bit now." Riise also said, "Maybe he didn't do it on purpose, but it was really stupid. He returned to the Anfield game and expressed his attitude to celebrate. Do you want the fans to forgive him for doing something like this?"

"Anyway, we can't give him a chance to celebrate!" Carragher said, "Now in the casino, there are odds for Owen to score, and odds for Owen to make a penalty kick. Give them all to me. Be careful, in this game, we can't give him any chance, for such a person, if you give him a chance to speak, he will dare to make us worthless."

Not allowing Irving to score is easier said than done. This season, Irving only played nine games due to injuries, and in these nine games, he has already scored seven goals.Although Owen's character is debatable, but in the Premier League environment, he is indeed arguably a powerful striker.

But at this time, everyone's echoes were extremely loud.

When you meet this person, you should let him have something to say.In this game, we not only need to win, but also let Owen win something to say, and let him know that Liverpool's life is better without him.
