The strongest winger

Chapter 735 Two Yellow Cards
As we all know, Liverpool is the team with the best record in the European war in England. This is the pride of all Red Army fans, but they also have an unacceptable 'record', that is, since the establishment of the Premier League, they have not won the Premier League championship.

Therefore, in the summer of 2004, the Liverpool executives invited Benitez, who led Valencia to win the league title and the UEFA Cup. There is no doubt that the first season was amazing. When the league title was missed, he led Liverpool to the Champions League.

But... until now, this Liverpool team has gradually lost itself. Whether it is in the Champions League or the league, they have not achieved satisfactory results. Therefore, during the Christmas period, the team executives gave Benitez an ultimatum. Either the league championship or the Champions League championship, if you can't get it, get out!

After some rendering by the media, many Liverpool players felt tremendous pressure, especially Mascherano and Torres. Both of them failed to show their due strength in the game against Chelsea.

Under the background of great pressure, Liverpool players once again sought a war of words with Chelsea players in an attempt to disrupt the opponent's attention in the game.

When Mascherano was interviewed by reporters this time, he took the initiative to talk about how to defend Aiello. He said viciously: "In the past games, Ai was always the winner, but I believe it will not be him this time!"

Faced with Mascherano's fierce and confident answer, the London media didn't take it seriously. Didn't he always say that in interviews with reporters after the verification of countless games in the past?

People are tough.

However, Mascherano's next words made the London media very crazy, and even wiped a cold sweat for Aiello.

"I will not be polite to him, this is the Champions League knockout match, it is a battlefield! If I have the chance, I will tackle his leg!!"

Gerrard, who was communicating with his teammates at the training ground, heard Mascherano's answer and frowned instinctively. Obviously, he was a little dissatisfied with the Argentine's words. As a Liverpool man, he should be bloody, but he was too stingy when he blatantly said "I will tackle his leg" in the follow-up interview. Langkou.

This is not a good signal.

So... Gerrard is going to have a good talk with Mascherano after training.

The news from the Melwood training base was quickly passed on to the Cobham training base. Before Aiello could speak, Barack said viciously in an interview with The Times: "Shooting Ai's leg? Haha... Then I can only say that he is not suitable for playing football. He can participate in international violent fights. That is his battlefield!"

It is very likely that the Brazilian Lucas, who was absent from Xavi Alonso's injury, heard the response from the Chelsea players. He said excitedly: "Chelsea with bus drivers and big talkers is really disgusting, but we firmly believe that a disgusting team cannot win at Anfield!"

In this way, in the war of words between the players of the two sides, the first round of the quarter-finals of the 2008-2009 UEFA Champions League began slowly.

首先进行的是上半区的两场1/4决赛，巴伦西亚在处于绝对劣势的情况下主场1：1艰苦的战平阿森纳，而另外一场1/4决赛结果则出乎所有人意料，曼联竟然在主场2：2被波尔图逼平。

※※※

The UEFA Champions League quarter-finals between Liverpool VS Chelsea and Barcelona VS Bayern Munich kicked off on time at 1:4 p.m. the next night.

The moment Chelsea players stepped onto the Anfield pitch, Liverpool fans in the stands booed loudly.

This situation continued until the official start of the game.

Of course, this also happens when Chelsea players have the ball.

This is how Liverpool fans express their distaste for Chelsea and their loyalty to Liverpool.

But this kind of behavior of the Liverpool fans was useless at all except for making disgusting noises, so that the reporters who came to the scene felt very speechless, so they didn't lift their spirits for a while after the game started, just dazedly pressing the shutter in their hands with their own feelings.

The game lasted until more than ten minutes before the eyes of the reporters lying on the railings caught on.

When Mascherano defended Aiello head-on, he finally used a defensive action with bright studs, which immediately caused a riot between the players on the field. Even Mourinho, who was standing off the field, yelled insults at Benitez next to him, and the coaches of the two sides also started friction on the sidelines.

Ballack, who was sitting on the bench, had the most violent reaction. He rushed directly to the sidelines and yelled at Mascherano, but because of the huge boos from the stands on all sides of Anfield, his voice was not heard by many parties.

"This game is interesting."

Looking at the scene on and off the court, the commentator in the live studio said.

But more people are concerned about whether Ai Luo is okay. Huang Jianxiang frowned and said: "According to the slow-motion replay, when Mascherano put the shovel in front of him, there was a movement of raising his foot. This is very dangerous. If Ai Luo didn't judge in advance that there was a jumping movement, then this would be troublesome. I believe he is fine..."

"Javier Mascherano's shovel is very brutal this time, and it feels like it's going directly to Ai's head!"

Lineker's tone was full of dissatisfaction.

After a brief treatment, Ai Luo stood up again, which also made many fans who cared about him breathe a sigh of relief.

"Ai, be careful, you may be targeted by Argentine mad dogs!"

Modric patted Aiello on the shoulder, covered his mouth and said.

Aiello turned his head and looked at Mascherano meaningfully, and said with a smile: "If he really dealt with me like before the game, then Liverpool has already lost half!"

Mascherano, who was lining up the wall according to the goalkeeper Reina's request, seemed to feel that someone was watching him, so he turned his head and looked at him based on his feeling, just in time to meet Ai Luo's eyes. Soon, he gritted his teeth, and even wanted to go up and beat Ai Luo.

Because he felt that Ai Luo was provoking himself!

Thinking of the contests in the past ten games, I have become Ailuo's green leaf, and the unknown fire in my heart is burning.

"Havel, calm down, otherwise the team will be very passive."

At this moment, Captain Gerrard's voice reached Mascherano's ears, and his shoulders were also heavy.

Mascherano turned his head and glanced at Gerrard. Only then did he realize that he had received a yellow card just now. If there is no way to drive out the negative emotions in the future, then he will become a sinner of the team.

Therefore, he nodded, agreeing with Gerrard's point of view.

"why?"

On the other side, Modric asked blurted out.

"You'll know later." Ai Luo looked at Mascherano and Gerrard not far away, and said with shoulders.

After finishing speaking, Aiello jogged towards Liverpool's penalty area to compete for the set kick. This distance was too far and too far to suit his free kick characteristics. However, after just two steps, he was temporarily 'invited' to play by the referee.

Immediately, he realized that as long as he received treatment from the team doctor on the playing field, he could not participate in the ongoing offense or defense...

Two minutes later, Aiello broke through with the ball in Liverpool's half. Mascherano was cautious when defending Aiello because he already had a yellow card on his back.

Aiello feinted with his right foot above the football, and his upper body also moved to the left. Mascherano had to throw his body out in order to stand in the defensive position, but Aiello slammed the ball to stop at this moment. Mascherano had no time to brake, so he could only choose to use foul methods to defend Aiello, and dragged his left hand to the back of the jersey.

But at this moment, he suddenly realized that he had already carried a yellow card, and his left hand, which had already put on the jersey, relaxed.

Cut inside!

"Oops!"

The local TV commentator in Liverpool looked at the camera and exclaimed.

As soon as the words were finished, a fierce sliding tackle from Brazilian Lucas came from the side. Ai Luo alertly poked the ball forward, then jumped up, only to be kicked by the toe of Lucas's shoe, and fell to the turf.

"Liverpool's players really worked hard for this game. Less than a quarter of an hour into the game, the two defensive midfielders of Mascherano and Lucas shoveled against Aiello one after another!" Andy Giray said with a frown, but when he saw the yellow card shown by the referee, his voice changed: "Oh? Yellow card! This is definitely Chelsea's opportunity. The game didn't last more than a quarter of an hour. Liverpool's two defensive midfielders both received yellow cards for defending Ai's breakthrough!!"

Standing off the court, Benitez's expression was normal, but cold sweat broke out behind his back.

He knows Ai Luo's strength better than anyone else. It is not an exaggeration to say that Ai Luo's personal director of the past seven-game losing streak!

Now that both defensive midfielders have received yellow cards, it means that the defense in the middle is very likely to collapse!
