Chapter 575 The Opportunists

On the training ground, they finally welcome back Dirk Dirk and former captain Steven Gerrard, and Liverpool's combat effectiveness has naturally increased dramatically.Today is different from the past, the role of the two of them in the team is no longer indispensable.

Dirk is technical and tactical, while Gerrard is spiritual.However, although these two people were suspended for five games, they still trained with the team during the suspension period, and played games with the reserve team on weekends, maintaining a good state.

After their return, Benitez threw them the yellow vests, which means that Benitez will have to rotate. If he doesn't rotate, he will be exhausted playing in the Champions League and the league.

But Liverpool has nothing to worry about. After all, Manchester United's performance has been extended. Liverpool only has the league and the Champions League, and Manchester United still has a few lines. However, the thickness of Manchester United's lineup is obviously not comparable to Liverpool's. Change.

Couitt is still his favorite player. After returning, he put on the yellow vest immediately during training. This guy is also very competitive, and he puts all his energy into training. His debut was perfect.

If you don't fight hard, you will have to be a substitute. No one wants to be a substitute and sit on the bench.

As for Gerrard, he is the core of Liverpool's midfield, and there is no such thing as a substitute.It happened that Portsmouth was playing at home on the weekend, so Benitez naturally pushed the boat along and returned the two players to the main force.

The 5-0 victory over Wigan gives people reason to believe that they can also beat Portsmouth at home this weekend.

There was still a lot of commotion outside the training ground, and almost half of England's sports reporters went to Hale Wood, but Benitez ordered that no one should be interviewed by reporters unless it was officially approved.After finally ushering back the two main players, the team's performance has recovered, Sterling's lace has dissipated, and Benitez will not let the team cause trouble again.

At noon on Saturday, when the reporters were expecting Sterling to be the starter again, Benitez disappointed everyone. Sterling did not start, and Wu Sanshi only sat on the bench.Obviously, Benitez wants to use good steel wisely, and he has already aimed at the Champions League in the middle of the week.

He has already smelled that Lyon is waiting for Liverpool at home. He must make Liverpool strong and strong, and he even booked a place in the Champions League semi-finals in his heart.

The last time the Pompeii Legion won a guest at Anfield was in August 1951, and as the "deputy squad leader", they had only one poor victory in the last 8 rounds.It would be unreasonable for Liverpool not to win Portsmouth.

The Pompeii army surrendered after only resisting for 26 minutes.

In the 26th minute, when Ash received a pass back from his teammate and was about to make a big kick, he was slowed down by Gerrard, who was actively rushing up. Maxi Rodriguez successfully intercepted the ball and crossed it. Suarez pushed from 10 yards. Shot the first goal.

Two minutes later, Portsmouth's defense made another mistake.In the 2th minute, Rocha made a clearance from Glenn Johnson's right-hand pass and the header was poor. Suarez got the ball from the left side of the penalty area and returned it. The ball is sent into the bottom right corner of the goal.

In the 32nd minute, Gerrard and Suarez cooperated on the left side of the front court. The Uruguayan kicked a pass with his heel. Gerrard deliberately gave way. Aquilani inserted his left foot and shot from a close corner to score his first goal after joining Liverpool. .

In the 77th minute, Aquilani went straight, and Suarez took the ball on the left to face Rocha's frontal defense and cut in, then scored twice with a wonderful right-footed shot from 16 yards.

Although in the 88th minute, Belhaji scored a point from close range for the Pompeii Army, but it did not hinder Liverpool's easy 4:1 victory at home.

However, in another game, Manchester United also defeated their opponents. Rooney's state is very good, and he continues to keep Manchester United at the top of the list. It seems that everything will have to wait until the next weekend's Tianwangshan battle...

Wu Sanshi and Sterling didn't even play for 1 minute, which made the media more sure that the two of them will definitely start in the Champions League.

Especially Sterling, it seems that a new record is about to be created again, the record for the youngest English player to play in the Champions League...

Two consecutive victories also showed Liverpool's good condition, and the French media were worried about Lyon.The authoritative "L'Equipe" analyzed the prospects of Lyon and Liverpool - can Lyon withstand the impact of Liverpool's three forwards?In the recently concluded Premier League game, Liverpool beat Portsmouth 4-1. In this game, their new captain Stone did not even get a minute of playing time. The Uruguayan solved the goal problem. The comebacks of Gerrard and Kurit are also in excellent condition. In addition, there is a 1-year-old chasing boy sitting on the bench. He makes people forget Irving quickly!

——Lyon will face a fierce battle no matter how you look at it, and Liverpool may even be unbeaten away because their striker is really too strong!

Lyon, the seven-time champion, is not as good as Liverpool in front of L'Equipe, but in fact they are not so unbearable.

France's [-]-time champion generally plays a [-] formation.

The goalkeeper is the [-]-year-old French goalkeeper Lloris.

The four backs are the [-]-year-old French international Reveer on the right, the two central defenders are the [-]-year-old Brazilian defender Chris and the [-]-year-old French international Toulalan who originally played as a midfielder and is currently addicted to the central defender. The left back is France/Senegal. Sissoko, who is a dual citizen.

The midfielder is a combination of the [-]-year-old Swedish international Castelen, the [-]-year-old "Bosnian Kaka" Pjanic, and the Greek international Gonia Lons. Among them, Pjanic's position is equivalent to a free agent. Castron and Gonjarons played double midfielders.

The striker trio is the [-]-year-old Argentine winger Delgado, the Brazilian Ederson on the right, and the [-]-year-old Argentine center Lisandro Lopez in front.

It seems that the lineup is not as good as Liverpool, but it is not necessarily true in actual combat.

However, the spinach company is also optimistic about Liverpool. Their handicap is a tie, and they are optimistic about Liverpool's undefeated. 4 balls, which means they are optimistic about a 2:2 draw.

However, the famous Lyon star Juninho believes that "Lyon will beat Liverpool."

"Because Liverpool's defense has problems."

"The attack concealed their defensive problems. There was a lot of space behind Mascherano. As long as they used it well, Lyon could score a goal."

As for Liverpool's striker, Juninho Jr. believes: "The English media have exaggerated them, they are not that strong."

"Especially Stone, as long as someone keeps pestering him, he has no chance of scoring goals, but if you let him go and let him run easily, it will be fatal."

"He's an opportunist."
