ball at foot

Liverpool finally ended their winning streak after eight consecutive victories.The draw with Bolton finally stopped Liverpool's momentum.Although they have only one loss and two draws so far, it seems that the momentum is still good, but at this time, Liverpool has once again lost its advantage over Chelsea.

The entanglement on the points is okay, but the loss of the psychological advantage will also make the two sides fall into the torment of the tug-of-war again.

However, compared to that, there was another thing that worried Liverpool even more.Sissoko's injury is far from as simple as imagined.

"His eye is seriously injured and must be operated on immediately." After the examination, the team doctor concluded, "He must be operated on, and then... the injury will be out for a month."

"A month? A month's injury during the Christmas schedule? That's crazy." Carragher answered immediately. [

"His injury is very serious. If it is not handled well, this eye is likely to go blind. This is not a small matter. Such an injury has a very important relationship and cannot be delayed."

Everyone stopped talking.Although everyone doesn't know medical skills, at least they know how important eyes are.An eye injury doesn't sound like a trivial matter.

However, in this way, he will miss three league games and two FA Cup games... One month, why is Liverpool's road to the championship so difficult?

"Are the sequelae of his injury serious?"

At this time, it was Benitez who asked the most important question.

The team doctor said, "There will be no sequelae... If treated in time, it will not affect future games and life at all. But the problem is that his injury is an eye injury, and he cannot recover immediately after the operation."

That's okay... If the player suffers a disabling injury for the game, then it's called trouble.

That's it, I missed the whole month of January, but fortunately, there are only three league games left in January, Birmingham and Tottenham Hotspur should be able to win, the trouble is just...

"Manchester United." Several people said the name together.

During the period when Sissoko was listening, the strongest opponent Liverpool had to deal with was none other than Manchester United.These two mortal enemies happened to have a league match at Old Trafford in January this year.

For Liverpool, the most dangerous enemy and the most memorable enemy is definitely Manchester United.They also have enough reasons to believe that since they met each other at the most critical time, Manchester United will never care about the issue of Sissoko's injury, and will be stingy with the opportunity to bite Liverpool.

The relationship between these two teams has always been like this.Whoever has the chance will hope to put the other party to death.

But at this time, what can we say?

The game is very important, but at this time, everyone has no way to say anything.Who wants to get hurt?The injury to the eyes of Sissoko is still serious. If it is more serious, he will even lose his sight. At this time, he must have an operation.Moreover, taking a step back, even if the game is lost, it does not necessarily mean that they will not win the league championship.And even if they really can't win the league championship, there is still next year and the future.But the eye injury had to be treated.If you're blind, that's a big deal.

Liverpool's main midfielder had to face injuries.At this time, the only thing Liverpool can use is Haman.

But Haman is already 33 years old... Let a player in his 30s play six games in a month, with such intensity, there will definitely be problems.This has nothing to do with willpower and mental strength. The lower back is the position where you run the most. In your 30s, no matter how strong your willpower is, you can't keep up physically. Haman's own level is not as good as The problem, but at his age, it is impossible to adapt to the continuous high-intensity combat in this position.

In this position, Liverpool does not have too good manpower.There are only a few main reasons: Firstly, Sissoko’s physical fitness is good enough, he looks strong like a bull, no matter how you look at him, he doesn’t look like an injury basket, so Liverpool didn’t consider finding him. A very good substitute. Secondly, it is also because Liverpool insists on not selling the players who won the championship last year, and insists on keeping Harman, Diaw and others. People are not serious.

But who would have thought that Harman's condition would decline very quickly without any games to play for half a season, and Dior would not be able to use it at all. How can he survive this period of time.

Maybe we can sign in to supplement the manpower, it happens to be January, the transfer period is open, we can sign in... Zhao Yaning thought of something, but his train of thought was interrupted again. [

Yaya Touré was the only good midfielder he knew, but he was from Côte d'Ivoire.Côte d'Ivoire is going to play in the Africa Cup of Nations, Drogba is gone, and Yaya Toure will naturally report to the national team.Even if this signing is done, it will still be too far away to quench the near thirst.If you can wait until he returns from the national team for a month, then it is better to wait for Sissoko to return from injury.

Zhao Yaning tried hard to think about the midfielder he knew, but after thinking for a long time, there was no suitable candidate.

"Actually, it's just a game, and even if there are signings, if there is a problem of running in the lineup, it is the same way to fight against Manchester United. They are a strong team, and they can't fight against them just by adding someone. Yes. Two games, we can't have a good run-in."

In the locker room, when everyone talked about this issue, Benitez also expressed his views.Although everyone understands what he said, everyone is not very willing to accept this fact.

"In that game, we still have a choice. One idea is that Stephen returns to the midfielder position, and then we rely on the strict defense of the backcourt to stop Manchester United's attack. If we try our best to fight for a draw, we have Great chance." Benitez said in his own words.

But his words made everyone silent.This unexpected draw against Bolton has already caused Liverpool to lose its advantage over Chelsea. If they lose another two points, Liverpool will obviously be at a disadvantage.Although there are still problems with the African Cup, what if Chelsea has a solution?

Such an approach is still not acceptable to everyone.

"If there is any more, it will be whoever wins on Literature.com." Seeing everyone's expressions, Benitez said again, "But this is not safe enough, we may not get a share... ..."

"There is no big difference between scoring one point and not scoring one point. If we want to win this season, don't we have to fight hard?" Don't give up easily!"

"After Liverpool didn't win this game, obviously, Liverpool and Chelsea are back on the same starting line."

After this game, people have more debates about Chelsea and Liverpool's championship.Liverpool has performed very well during this period, but at this time, they suffered injuries.And Chelsea is as stable as ever, and it can even be said to be stable like a machine. Although there are unexpected failures, they are always stable and shocking.

Throughout the first half of the season, Chelsea lost only two games on multiple fronts.Lost to Barcelona in the Champions League and Manchester United in the league.And when playing against other weaker teams, they will not have the slightest problem at all.

"Chelsea's stability is terrible. Liverpool has suffered the loss of the main force now, and it is difficult to catch up. However, they can't manage it. The FA Cup game is about to start, and this is the schedule they face. The biggest reason for the extreme difficulty. If they give up the FA Cup, they may save a lot of energy and use it in the league. But, we don’t know if Benitez will do such a thing, in the cup Choosing to give up is a very beneficial choice for Liverpool."

The outside media are all predicting who will win the championship.It's just that Liverpool and Chelsea are obviously not the champions everyone wants to see.Liverpool was too arrogant in the 80s, and because of the two major tragedies, they competed with the FA. In English football, they had already made enemies, and Chelsea, as a new force, rose by money. The same is not popular, no matter who wins the championship of these two teams, it will not be satisfactory.

However, at this time, Liverpool was at a disadvantage, and the media naturally began to help Liverpool.At least, let the league decide the winner later, for neutral spectators, there is still something exciting to watch.Therefore, they are also giving Liverpool ideas, hoping that Liverpool will last longer in the league.

"Arsenal has already fallen behind this season. After selling Vieira, they have suffered other unexpected blows. Campbell, Henry, Ashley Cole's injuries have left Wenger with only a bunch of children now. Available, they are still enduring the pain caused by the replacement, temporarily unable to compete for the championship. The same is true for Manchester United. After losing Keane and Alan Smith, their midfield has fallen into a slump. Now, they are behind the leaders Chelsea has [-] points. It is very difficult to make up for such a gap. Even if they have the advantage of not having to play in the Champions League, they have fewer games and more concentrated strength, but it is still difficult to catch up with the two teams in front of them. And now, the reason why the league championship has not become Chelsea's one-man show is all thanks to Liverpool's pursuit. At this time, Liverpool must make a choice in order to last longer in the league. For some, giving up the FA Cup may not be a good choice. After all, the depth of Liverpool's lineup may not be able to support the third-line battle."

Amidst the speculation from the outside media, Liverpool also ushered in the third round of their FA Cup match with Luton.What everyone can't imagine is that in this game, Liverpool not only did not choose to give up, but instead sent almost all the main players.

"It seems that Liverpool are not going to give up the FA Cup! They still have a chance to win this game!"

In this game, Zhao Yaning, Gerrard, and Alonso scored one goal each, Milito scored two goals, and Liverpool won a 5-1 victory.

And this also sent a declaration to the entire Premier League: Liverpool will not admit defeat so easily. No matter which front, Liverpool will not give up!
