i am a football star

Chapter 161
Liu Ting shouted the slogan of winning the league championship, which was supported by the vast majority of fans, because Liverpool has not won the league championship for too long.

The last time Liverpool won the league championship was in the 89/90 season, and it will be exactly 20 years this year.

There is a reincarnation every 20 years, 20 teams in the Premier League, one team is changed every year, and it should be changed to Liverpool, right?
For now, most fans desire to win a league championship even more than the Champions League.

On this day, when Liu Ting came out after training as usual, he heard fans calling him from the sidelines. It was a strange trio.

Liu Ting walked over, and the short fat Bill said loudly: "Liu, do you think we can win the league championship this year?"

Liu Ting replied without hesitation: "Of course we can, we are the European champions."

After Liu Ting finished speaking, he turned and left, and there was a murmur behind him: "But we have won three European championships, and we haven't seen the hope of winning the league yet."

Then he responded: "Damn Arsenal, damn Arshavin, if it weren't for the 4:4 draw in the second half of last season, we would have won the league championship last season. This year's situation is not so good. Now we are already 8 points behind Chelsea..."

Since Liverpool won the last league championship, they have already won the UEFA Cup once and the Champions League twice, but they have not won the league once, which is quite strange.

However, Liu Ting is not too worried about Chelsea's good condition now. He clearly knows what troubles Chelsea will encounter in the second half of the schedule.

The league has to take its time, and the UEFA Champions League is coming soon.

Bad things happened the day before the game. Bell injured his left ankle during the warm-up, and Agger had another friend to play with.

Successive injuries have caused Heynckes a headache, and the media has also used this to hype that Liverpool is about to end.

On the evening of September 9th, the first game of the UEFA Champions League group stage of the 16/09 season came. Liverpool played against the Hungarian team Debrecen at home.

Debrecen is a newly emerging team in Hungary. It won the domestic top league championship for the first time in the 04/05 season. This is also the first time Debrecen has entered the UEFA Champions League group stage. There is no player worth more than 300 million euros in the team.

Liu Ting's current transfer market valuation is 4000 million euros, which is about the same as Gerrard's. Torres' valuation has reached 5000 million euros.

However, valuation is valuation, and the price will definitely rise a lot when it really flows into the transfer market.Last year, Ronaldo's valuation was only 5500 million euros, but Real Madrid finally spent more than 9000 million euros to buy him.

Debrecen is such a rookie, no one thinks he can cause trouble for defending champion Liverpool.

In fact, for a team like Debrecen, it is a good result to be in the same group as the defending champion. Anyway, no matter who they are with, they will be in the first round of the group stage.

Due to the injury of Gareth Bale, the Brazilian Aurelio replaced him as the starting left back. The other positions were the strongest lineup that could be arranged. Skrtel and Carragher partnered at the center back, Glenn Johnson at the right back, Javier Mascherano, Xavi Alonso and Gerrard in the midfield, and Liu Ting, Torres and Louitt on the front line.

When they came to Anfield, the Hungarian team’s attitude was also very low. Their head coach said before the game: “Our goal is to score points at Anfield, whether it is one point or three points. If we don’t get points in the end, then we have to play with our own dignity.”

They did, and the whole game was strictly guarded against death.

In the end, relying on the goal of Torres assisting Kevin Dirk before the end of the first half, Liverpool beat the opponent 1-0 at home and scored three points.

Debrecen barely kept their dignity, at least they were not slaughtered, and the loss against the defending champion was not ugly.

As the defending champion, facing a weak new team at home but could not win the game cleanly, this made the English media come out again.

"The Times" said: "Liverpool has not been going well since the start of the season. Injuries have gradually increased and Liverpool is 8 points behind Chelsea in the league. The Champions League is not too good. Facing a weak team, Liverpool has not shown the strong strength of the defending champion. This season, Liverpool may have to return to the previous state where the goal was to compete for the Champions League place..."

Facing the question, Liu Ting replied in front of the reporter: "Our first goal this season is the league championship, and the next is the other championships. This is the goal that was predetermined before the start of the season. We will not be easily defeated. Now the league has just started. Let alone 8 points behind, even 18 points still have enough time to recover."

This round of the Champions League is over, and there are basically no upsets.

All the semi-finals of the Premier League won. In the same group match as Liverpool, Lyon beat Fiorentina 1-0 at home.

At the same time, the most watched battle between Mourinho and Barcelona ended in a draw. Otto’o and Ibrahimovic turned against their former clubs. The most expensive matchup in the Champions League ended with a blank draw. Inter Milan drew 0:0 with Barcelona at home.

In the summer, Barcelona exchanged Otto Oga for Ibrahimovic of Inter Milan, and now it will be a group of Barcelona and Inter Milan in the Champions League. There will never be fewer gimmicks in the Champions League.

Barcelona and Inter Milan are currently the second and fourth most expensive teams in Europe, and their duel is called the most expensive match in Europe.The most expensive team in the team is naturally Real Madrid. The Spanish derby between Real Madrid and Barcelona should be the most expensive duel, but there are at least two games in Spain every season.

Liverpool's current team ranks fifth in Europe in value, with Manchester United third in addition to Real Madrid, Barcelona and Inter Milan.Chelsea ranks behind Liverpool with a slight disadvantage. In the past two years, Absa's money has decreased, and the value of Chelsea's team has also dropped. Liverpool's Champions League victory last year made the team's value rise a lot, thereby surpassing Chelsea.

Real Madrid, which has received much attention and is considered to be the strongest and most valuable, beat Zurich 5:2 in an away game, which seems to prove that the predictions of the "bricks" are correct. Real Madrid has strong firepower and is well-deserved. The strongest team in Europe.

In this game, Ronaldo scored twice with two direct free kicks, and he was the best star in the first round of the Champions League.

In general, the first round of the Champions League group stage ended calmly, and then Liverpool should return to the league.

Liverpool will travel to London for the weekend's league game.

London occupies 20 of the 5 Premier League teams this season, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United, Fulham. This time Liverpool's opponent is West Ham United.
