Chapter 584 Improvement of fighting spirit

On the way back to China, Zhao Yaning was still flipping through the newspaper—the first round of the Champions League is over, and now, their results are also published in the newspaper.After the first round of the Champions League match, the performance of the three English teams made the English media feel a little nonsense.

Liverpool drew with Bayern in the away game-this game is not unexpected.Liverpool's schedule is too perverted, and it is definitely impossible to go all out. Although the 1-1 away result is not good, it is barely passable.It's just that Liverpool, the defending champion, won the knockout stage last year with a crazy seven-game winning streak.This year, however, they played a draw when they came up, which made the English media feel that Liverpool played without the arrogance of last year.

In fact, Liverpool did not play as well as last year, but in this game, the English media still gained something - Hargreaves played quite well in the game, and his effective interception alone made Liverpool miss at least three times Excellent opportunity, Figo was almost frozen by him, this player who was born in Canada, grew up in Germany and played for England, is now more and more trusted by the English media and national team coach Eriksson, This gives the English media a reason to once again promote the strength of the "best Three Lions in history" and continue to shape the image of England's strong team.

However, Arsenal's game played unexpectedly.

For a long time, Arsenal's image has been a typical example of an expert in civil wars, an amateur in foreign wars, and a typical example of soft feet when it comes to the Champions League.But this time, when they met Real Madrid, the second strongest player in the group, many people have completely disliked them, but this time, they were surprisingly not soft-footed.Although two generals, Ashley Cole and Campbell, were missing from the defense line, they relied on this impromptu defense line to prevent all Real Madrid's attacks.What was even more surprising was that they scored a goal directly: Henry directly scored a goal for Arsenal after taking the ball in Real Madrid's midfield. [

Although this is only the first round of the round of sixteen, most people still believe that this is definitely the most exciting goal of this Champions League.It is not something that everyone can do to stage a solo ride for thousands of miles on the Bernabéu stadium.And the 1-[-] victory over Real Madrid in the away game gave Arsenal a great advantage after returning to the home court. Defeating Real Madrid and entering the top [-] may not be as difficult as people imagined.

On the contrary, Chelsea, at their own home court, lost 1-3 in this round of the game, and went without a win for six consecutive games. , Said that after this season, Mourinho will leave get out of class.

But in this game, Mourinho was not to blame for the loss - Drogba still didn't play, he had just returned from the national team, dusty and overworked, so naturally he couldn't play.Gallas and Duff are both injured and unable to play, plus the suspended Essien, it is naturally difficult for Chelsea to win against Milan in such a state.

But even so, they did not expect that they would be played so badly by Milan-Kaka's solo raid, a long-range goal after passing through the midfield alone, and Shevchenko and Kaka cooperated to kill Entering the penalty area, scoring a goal from a small angle in the penalty area, plus a free kick from Pirlo assisted Stam to score with a header, three away goals, Milan won it can be said to be easy and simple.

Although Chelsea also resisted, Crespo also scored a goal, but such a goal can only be said to be better than nothing.

Unless it is a 3- away game, Chelsea may advance-but beating this Milan 3- at the San Siro Stadium is simply impossible.

Chelsea's Champions League journey has basically come to an end now.The rest, that is, whether they are ready to give up at San Siro or fight to the death for the sake of dignity.This is also the most discussed question.Many people believe that Mourinho is a person who knows the current affairs, and it is very likely that he will give up the Champions League and work hard in the league.However, Mourinho himself firmly stated that he would strive for a comeback, and vowed to win the double crown.Such an attitude also makes people dare not draw conclusions lightly. After all, although Mourinho has many other problems, he has never done such a thing as giving up the game.

As for the other teams, nothing unexpected happened.

Both Lyon and Barcelona have beaten their opponents away.Lyon 1 - Avenged half of the match by defeating PSV, who knocked themselves out last year.Barcelona, ​​on the other hand, defeated Werder Bremen 3-2 away. In the away game, they, like Arsenal, have a very high possibility of advancing.

And Inter Milan and Villarreal are both 2-2, and they drew away from Ajax and Rangers respectively. Although the same is a draw, they both have two away goals. Getting out is also a great advantage.

The only team that has won at home is Portugal's Benfica.They beat Juventus 3-2 at home.However, considering the two away goals, such a victory can only be said to have won miserably.

"The current strength of the Champions League has a big gap. It is obviously very difficult for the second team in the group to beat the first team in the group. After this game, we can already do well We can clearly see what will happen in the subsequent games: it is very likely that none of the teams in the second place in the group will be able to succeed."

Actually, it's also a matter of luck.If Chelsea had drawn Inter Milan, or if Bayern had drawn Lyon, it would be hard to say the outcome.But this time, the luck of the second place in the lottery group was not very good, and the strength gap with the first place in the group they drew was a bit big, which made the possibility of qualifying for an upset much smaller.

In addition to the results, the more gratifying thing is that after the game, Walcott also became famous.Before this game, when people mentioned him, they would only say that he was the winter standard king of the English League, and he was famous for his worth, but in this game, he relied on his performance to make the All England, even the The eyes of all Europe are on this amazing little guy.

Receive the ball from one's own penalty area, run to the opponent's penalty area and pass back - this process is not too difficult.But the problem is, he did all this in ten seconds, and he was chasing him all the way with a famous full-back like Lizarazu, with such opponents, such a stage, such a background board, which made him He also became famous in one fell swoop.

Few people will notice how rare this opportunity is.How many times can a person encounter such a large-scale attack in a lifetime when the backcourt is empty?Walcott ran for dozens of meters from receiving the ball to passing the ball, without even passing a single person. He was completely playing running, and the person who ran against him was a 37-year-old full-back.In fact, with such a good opportunity, if Irving and an outstanding striker like Ronaldo got the ball, it would be useless not to humiliate Kahn.But what Walcott did was just return pass assists, and he was still fundamentally different from top players.

But even so, it was enough for him to be noticed by everyone.There are even rumors that England wants to take him to the World Cup.

What a lucky guy—but come to think of it, the British also want to use him to deal with the slow German defense line, right?After all, now that Irving is disabled, England is also missing a big weapon, and now it is also in a hurry to go to the doctor.I don’t know when the British seemed to be kicked out of their nightmare by the Germans. They always regarded the Germans as their greatest enemies, and they were always thinking about how to fight against Germany.As for Germany's defense line, the biggest problem is that the speed of turning around and chasing back is surprisingly slow. Those who have enough speed to break through them are absolute killers.

It's always good to see the youngsters on your team grow.While Zhao Yaning was happy, his interest was also much higher when he played this Asian Cup qualifier.And this game, at the end, also ended with a goal by Daewoo and a goal by Zheng Zhi, and it ended in a 2-1 victory. [

However, while the game was over, Zhao Yaning also received news: Liverpool was on the road and was tied 1-1 by Manchester City.

Sure enough, he was afraid of something... In this regard, Zhao Yaning gave a wry smile and rushed back to Liverpool.At this time, he was surprisingly not in a hurry: he knew best how tired the team was, and even he had systematic protection and never had physical problems, all of which were due to mental fatigue, and his teammates were even more tired. And what can you blame your teammates?

When he arrived at the club, he hadn't spoken yet, and Sissoko stood up, "It's my responsibility that I didn't win. My return pass error caused the loss of this game, and it's all my fault."

Zhao Yaning asked carefully before he understood the matter: when he lost the ball, after he got the ball, he originally wanted to pass it back to Reina, but he didn’t notice that if the players next to him were normal, he wouldn’t make a mistake. Such a mistake, but because of the injury, his eyes have not fully recovered, and he has to wear glasses to live.And the glasses seriously interfered with his vision, preventing him from seeing the opponent's striker, and also gave Manchester City a chance to score an equalizer.Reina, who had just come back, also failed to block the opponent's striker well, which allowed Manchester City to score a goal and finally got a 1-1 draw.

"That stupid glasses, I will never wear them again." Although the eyes are not sharp yet, Sissoko did not listen to anyone's persuasion and resolutely stopped wearing glasses. We lost the ball and I'm never touching it again."

"Momo, health is much more important than winning." Zhao Yaning also persuaded, but Sissoko still shook his head, which made him not know what to say, "I am also responsible, as long as I insist on staying. "

"And me, I haven't completed the task of opening up the space, I wish I could be in a better state." Garcia also said.

"My long-range shots are not very reliable." Gerrard opened his mouth and said.

"At the end of the day, I am the one who lost the single sword. I am more responsible than anyone else. You are all losers." Reina also spoke.

"Momo, no one blames you. That thing is not a bad thing. On the contrary, if you don't take it and get injured, we will feel even more guilty and not in the mood to play well." Zhao Yaning said, "And, no Did we lose a game, how far were we ahead of Chelsea before we lost this game?"

"Five points?"

"what about now?"

"Three points."

"Aren't we still ahead? What are you afraid of! There is one less game in the game, and they want to catch up with us, it will not be so easy!"

But it is only a few points ahead, not behind.And, so what if you fall behind?After this game, the Liverpool players have raised their fighting spirit again because of self-blame and stimulation. Why should such a Liverpool be afraid of Chelsea?

However, this is easy to say, but difficult to do.In the game against Arsenal, only 10 minutes into the game, Liverpool was already behind.
