ball at foot

In the game against Birmingham, Zhao Yaning, Gerrard and Alonso were suspended together.The difference between these people is that Zhao Yaning was suspended with a red card, and Gerrard and Alonso both accumulated yellow cards.The Football Association is still kind-hearted—or in other words, the Football Association still thinks that the excitement is not big enough—they did not add suspensions to the three players, that is to say, after this game, in the focus match against Chelsea, the three players still All can play.

The accumulation of red and yellow cards in the Premier League is the most troublesome league: in the Premier League regulations, before the end of February, five yellow cards are automatically suspended for one game.If it is past the end of February, then, even if there are enough five cards, there is no need to suspend the game, but just wait until ten yellow cards are accumulated before suspending the game.And if after accumulating five suspensions before the end of February, and accumulating ten in April and then suspending the competition, it will be suspended for two games.And if there are more, the Football Association will hold a hearing to discuss the suspension of games.

The red card rule is that if two yellows turn into one red, one game will be suspended.Direct red cards depend on the circumstances, one for tactical fouls, two for insulting opponents, or fouls against opponents, three for flagrant fouls.And if it is the second red card, even if it is a tactical foul, it will be two games, and there will be an additional game for each additional game in the future.

Many people have been clamoring for such a complicated rule to be reformed, but the reform of the Football Association has been discussed for a long time, but the result has been delayed.

But this time, both Gerrard and Alonso were unlucky. By mid-January, five cards were enough.On the other hand, Zhao Yaning turned two yellows into one red, and also stopped for one game. [

Liverpool also appealed against Zhao Yaning’s red card. Although Zhao Yaning himself thought it would be useless, he at least showed the club’s attitude and he accepted it.Sure enough, the Football Association's penalty was upheld, and Zhao Yaning still had to be suspended.

"Is this the FA's forced rotation for us?" In private, several people also complained a lot to the FA.Obviously, the FA still wants them to play against Chelsea, but this time they can only spend it in the stands.

In the game against Birmingham, Liverpool's main lineup was suddenly reduced by half-Zhao Zhao, Alonso, Gerrard and Sissoko were not there, and even if Vidic was counted, five people were absent from the main lineup.

And coupled with the fact that Harman and Figo, who were too tired in the last game, did not play very well in this game, Liverpool is really fighting with half a team.

And the result of the game is indeed unpredictable.Birmingham scored a goal at Anfield to seal a 1-0 victory.This naturally made Birmingham ecstatic. In their own home court, they were bloodbathed by Liverpool 0-6, but at Anfield, they were able to score three points. For Birmingham, what is there to be dissatisfied with? What about?

"I thought that in the middle of the season, it was time for us to grab points and overtake, but who knows, it became the time for us to lose points. In the four rounds, one win, two draws and one loss, we only got 5 points in total. gone."

After the game, in the locker room, everyone was in awe.

"Originally, the Christmas schedule is a time when it is easy to lose points. After half a season of fatigue, yellow cards have begun to explode at this time. Even if we can't get points, what's wrong? We're not the only ones who lost. , Didn’t Chelsea also win two rounds?” Gerrard couldn’t help but comfort him at this time.

This is true.Without Drogba, Essien couldn't play blatantly. Chelsea's game was also not smooth.Their two rounds of matches are also tied for two consecutive games. First, Fulham and then Aston Villa, they failed to win. Compared with Liverpool, they only played two more games, leading by 7 points.

"As long as we win Chelsea in this game, the advantage will still be ours." Regarding this, Gerrard was full of confidence, "Guys, are we scared?"

Fear?This is not acknowledged.But a win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge?This is easier said than done.

"Chelsea hasn't lost a league game at Stamford Bridge since the 04-05 season. Besides, doesn't their head coach claim to never lose at home in the league?"

"He's really capable. He claims to never lose. The home game is a dragon, the away game is a joke to others, does he still take it as a good word?" Carragher said, completely forgetting that Liverpool used to be very proud of not losing at home. Come on, it’s just that this season, I lost two games successively, and no one mentioned this, “Besides, what’s the big deal at Stamford Bridge? It’s said that Liverpool winning the league championship is the most difficult thing in English football, and If the opportunities are presented to us and we can’t grasp them ourselves, then let’s not blame others.”

Several people in the locker room clenched their fists, and the game was just around the corner. At this time, they couldn't back down anymore.

What's more, after playing Chelsea, it will be a make-up match against Charlton and Arsenal.After the two make-up games, it is time to see where the standings should be.Whether to defeat Chelsea, go ahead and lead the standings, or lose this game and continue Liverpool's days without a Premier League champion, just watch one game——

Before the game against Chelsea, several news came in succession.

First, Mourinho declared that for this game, Essien was willing to play with injuries.Immediately, Essien also stood up and said affectionately that for Mourinho, he would be willing to run and break his leg.This news directly caused the Liverpool players to scold them. It was clear that they had faked their injuries to a crucial game and wanted to come back to play the game. Why would they say such nice things?I really want to run back to Ghana with an injury and a broken leg.

Then, Ferguson also expressed his views to the outside world. He believed that Chelsea was likely to defend the title, and Liverpool was not Chelsea's opponent.

In this regard, the Liverpool players did not say anything.If Ferguson said in an interview that he hoped Liverpool would win the championship, the sun must have come out from the west.However, at this time, it must be difficult for Ferguson to make a choice!Since the inception of the Premier League, no team other than Manchester United has defended the title.Today, Manchester United has fallen out of the championship zone early, and Liverpool and Chelsea are competing for the championship.Is it to support the mortal enemy for a lifetime, or to support this new enemy who may defend the title and challenge hegemony?For Manchester United, it must be enough tangled issues. [

However, these things did not affect everyone: no matter how much others say, Chelsea will not become stronger, and they don't need to worry about anything.Moreover, didn't they say these things because Liverpool was enough to threaten Chelsea?Now that they are afraid, then Liverpool should naturally seize the plan and win the game.

In addition, at this time, another news came out. The best team in Europe was selected again. Not surprisingly, both Zhao Yaning and Gerrard were selected for this list.

"In this way, we have been quite affirmed this year." Looking at the list, Gerrard was extremely happy.This is the first time he has been selected into this lineup, so he is naturally very happy.

However, Zhao Yaning didn't think there was anything to be happy about: this list was based on performance, nominated by UEFA, and then the fans selected it online.This kind of public participation in the best, its fairness is very limited.After all, because many players play for small clubs, have few fans, and receive less attention, no matter how good their performance is, it is difficult to get any favor, and some big clubs, even if their players perform slightly worse , But as long as you are famous and have the number of fans, you can win back a city, and rely on your popularity to make yourself the best.

For example, among the best candidates for the midfield position on this list, apart from Zhao Yaning and Gerrard, the other two are Ronaldinho and Ronaldinho.Here, Zhao Yaning, Gerrard, and Ronaldinho are all recognized players with the best performance this year. What does Ronaldinho have?The best team in the Premier League didn't even make it in, but they were able to make it into the best team in Europe?He performed really well, but the word best is not his turn. Although Zhao Yaning has to admit that he is biased, if he didn’t make it to the Premier League’s best team, Gerrard didn’t make it either...

Such a selection really doesn't make much sense.Online voting is not a reliable thing after all.

Compared with those things, there is another thing that makes Zhao Yaning care more: Sissoko has finished his treatment and returned to the club.

It's just that his injury hasn't completely healed after all, and the doctor asked him to wear protective glasses before he can play. Therefore, when he came back, he still wore glasses.

"This stuff is so cool." Seeing his eyes, his teammates were still teasing him, "You only hurt one eye, why do you wear a pair of glasses? It would be nice to wear one, see Looks more handsome."

"I'm not a pirate. And this thing is very uncomfortable. My eyesight is very poor now, and people in the distance can't see clearly at all. I have probably recovered about half of my vision. The doctor said that I have recovered 80% of my vision. %, but I still can't believe it."

"It would be great if it can be cured, which means that the current team doctor is reliable. In the past, you would have to retire now." Carragher looked at his injury and said a few words.

Liverpool's previous team doctors were basically related households, and the medical level can be said to be very low.However, this is almost the situation of almost most teams in the Premier League. In fact, apart from the previous Manchester United and Arsenal, very few Premier League teams will invest a lot of money in their own team doctors.

The team doctor of Liverpool's relationship household cured Redknapp alive and left a message for Owen.And the former Manchester United player Li Sharp was also able to compete with Giggs. After the transfer, he met Giggs and laughed and said that it was really unnecessary to control my playing at Manchester United before. When he said this, Giggs had already seen that he walked with a limp and after a while, he retired.

Last season, Liverpool also had a series of injuries and attacks.After finally capturing Europe, the club made great efforts and decided to rectify the medical team. Relying on the championship title, he suppressed the controversy and updated the medical team. This is what Liverpool has benefited a lot this season.Except for Dudek and Hyypia, no one had a major injury throughout the season.

And now, Sissoko's eye disease has healed so quickly, which makes the whole team rejoice.

"Since we have all the members together, what else is there to say? For this game, let us go to Stamford Bridge and let them see how eager Liverpool are to win!"

ps: The accumulation rules of red and yellow cards in the Premier League have been changed more than once. In my memory, it should be cleared once in February.
