Reborn Liverpool

Chapter 294 The Situation of the Second Round

2月18日是国际比赛日，所以英超的28轮要到2月24日才重燃战火，利物浦将士在锤完波尔图后纷纷回了国家队。

Zhang Mai stayed at the club due to the long journey, and was focused on preparing for the subsequent Premier League and the second round of the Champions League on March 3.

等到2月22日，欧冠16强首回合比赛全部收官。8场比赛共打进27粒进球，可谓是精彩纷呈。

In the early morning of the 22nd, a total of two games were played, and the results were somewhat unexpected.

Among them, Manchester United had a difficult 0:0 away draw with Sevilla:
In the 17th minute of the first half, Herrera retired from injury and Pogba came off the bench; in the second half, Rashford replaced Sanchez and Martial replaced Mata. In the end, both sides failed to break the deadlock. Sevilla 0 at home -0 draw with visiting Manchester United.

In this game, Sevilla created a lot of scoring opportunities, but Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea performed well and tried to keep the goal.

In another game, there was a lot of upset. Shakhtar Donetsk beat Rome 2:1 at home and took the lead:
In the first half, Ondel took the lead for Roma, then Ferreira equalized for the miners, Santos helped the miners to overtake the score, and the miners finally repelled the visiting Red Wolves 2:1 at home.

In the previous games, Real Madrid beat Paris 3-1 at home, Manchester City beat Basel 4-0 away, Juventus drew 2-2 at home with Tottenham, Liverpool beat Porto 6 goals away, Bayern 5-0 Chelsea swept Besiktas at home and drew 1-1 with Barcelona at home.

The cruel first round of the knockout round showed the biggest characteristic of the respect of strength on the green field: the strong team is always strong, the weak team is upset, and the fake strong teams are revealed one after another.

The five participating teams in the Premier League can especially illustrate this point. Liverpool and Manchester City beat their opponents wildly, and the other three teams tried their best to get only one draw.

欧冠16强次回合的赛事将于3月份来临，开赛时间分为两大阶段，3月7日和8日，以及3月14日和15日。

After the first round of the game, some people were happy and some were worried. Some teams almost entered the top 8 with both feet, and some only stepped in with one foot. More teams need to fight hard in the second round. The bayonet sees red,

Teams with almost two feet into the quarter-finals: Manchester City, Liverpool, Bayern.

Manchester City vs Basel:
Manchester City beat Basel 4-0 in the first round, and there is almost no suspense to advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

The strength gap between the two teams was exposed in the first round, and Manchester City, which had 4 goals in the second round, could advance smoothly even if they lost by a small score.

Liverpool vs Porto:
Liverpool beat Porto 6-0 away in the first leg, and they have more reasons to advance to the quarterfinals than Manchester City.

Besiktas vs Bayern:

In the first round, Bayern beat Besiktas 5-0 at home. The difference in strength between the two teams is too great. The fundamental factors that affect the result of the second round are what kind of lineup the strong side will send to play and how many substitute players will be.

A team that has reached the top 8 with one foot: Real Madrid

Paris Saint-Germain vs Real Madrid:

In the first round, Real Madrid beat Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 at home. The advantage of 2 goal difference is not big, but it is not small. Paris Saint-Germain still has an away goal. .

The strength gap between the two teams is not very big, but in the two rounds of the home and away knockout rounds, Real Madrid, who are in the Champions League, have rich experience. In addition, the La Liga championship is basically hopeless. Real Madrid, who is desperate for the Champions League, really counts on this year's Champions League .

The teams that saw the bayonet in the second round: Juventus, Tottenham, Chelsea, Barcelona, ​​Shakhtar, Roma, Sevilla, Manchester United.

Tottenham vs Juventus:

Juventus 2-2 Tottenham in the first round of the two teams, the difference in strength between the two teams is very small, Tottenham's offense and Juventus' defense are tit-for-tat, the sharp and sophisticated battle between the two sides will continue to the second round.

Barcelona vs Chelsea:
The score of the first round of the two teams was 1 to 1. Barcelona's strength was obviously higher than that of Chelsea. The score of 1 to 1 was extremely unfavorable to the car.

However, it may be very difficult for Chelsea to attack the Devil's home court in Barcelona in the second round. It is impossible to escape without a performance against the sky.

Roma vs miners:

In the first round, the miners played 2-1 Rome at home, that is to say, Rome must win the second round to advance, even a small 1-0 victory is fine.

Roma's strength is limited compared to the Miners. Although the second round is the home of the Red Wolves, the bottom line of the two teams' demands is different. It will not be surprising if there is any situation.

Manchester United vs Sevilla:

In the first round, Manchester United played 0 to 0 Sevilla away. The two sides were roughly at the same starting line, but it was still unfavorable for Manchester United who failed to score in the away game.

Under the leadership of Mourinho this season, Manchester United has perfectly inherited Liverpool's previous characteristics of "robbing the rich and helping the poor". Germany's home field bonus advantage has long since been lost.

Although Sevilla is not very prominent in La Liga, it is a champion of La Liga in Europe. At least Liverpool has frequently missed Sevilla in Europe.

Therefore, in the second round of the decisive battle between the two teams, the outside world is not optimistic that Manchester United can take advantage of the home court to successfully win the La Liga powerhouse.

Klopp also asked Zhang Mai for his opinion on the second round of the Champions League. The two were optimistic about the promotion of the other three Premier League teams to the Champions League. Zhang Mai also expressed his determination to play in the second round.

As an old opponent who fought to the death in the league.Why do both Uncle Zha and Zhang Mai hope that the Premier League team can pass the test smoothly?

That's because clubs with Champions League competitions will more or less restrain themselves in the league, and Liverpool are now enemies on all sides.

……

On February 2, the 24th round of the Premier League kicked off. Liverpool took the lead in competing with West Ham at Anfield.

After a 90-minute fierce battle between the two sides, Liverpool beat West Ham 4-1 in the end. Zhang Mai, Salah, Firmino and Mane scored successively.Liverpool continued to lead the standings by 1 point after winning streak.

In this battle, Mignolet, Chamberlain, Klein and Matip played in rotation.

On February 2th, Tottenham beat Crystal Palace 25-1 in an away game without any surprise. This time, it was Sun Xingmin who made the contribution.

What followed were two strong dialogues, and the final result disappointed Liverpool.

On February 2, Mourinho led his team against his old club Chelsea at Old Trafford. William took the lead, Lukaku passed a shot, and Lingard scored a goal to reverse.Manchester United beat Chelsea 25-2 at home.

Chelsea suffered a losing streak in the league away from home, while Manchester United won a 3-game winning streak at home in the league, continuing to consolidate their third position in the league.

Madman uncharacteristically did not speak out after the game, and sneered at Chelsea who drove him away in the past.

On March 3, in the last game of the 2th round of the Premier League, Manchester City beat Arsenal 28-3 at the Emirates Stadium. Bernardo, Silva and Sane scored successive goals, and Aubameyang missed a penalty kick.

Manchester City double-killed Arsenal for the first time in 42 years and continued to chase Liverpool.

Even Arsenal couldn't stop Manchester City's edge, and Liverpool soldiers expressed that the pressure was great.

If you want to blame, you can only blame Arsenal for being too weak. In just 4 days, Arsenal suffered two three-goal defeats against Manchester City. This is no longer a question of strength gap.

Needless to say, Aubameyang, last season's Bundesliga Golden Boot + Bundesliga season MVP, Mr. African Footballer, is known as the fastest forward in Europe!Abandoned.

Lacazette?The Ligue 20 Golden Boot, who is also a French international, and the man who scored [-]+ goals for three consecutive years, also withered.

Ozil, the brain of the midfielder of the world champion German team, the man who once won the assist king in the Bundesliga, La Liga, and Premier League. There are 11 rounds left in the Premier League. So far, he has 22 goals and 4 assists in 7 games.

Kolasinac, the best left-back in the Bundesliga last season, squeezed out Alaba, the man who was selected as the best team in the Bundesliga, known as the Eastern European Hulk, has now become a rat.

Xhaka, Borussia Mönchengladbach and the Swiss double captain, have now become "heart-wrenching"!
Bellerin, the successor of Alves, has his own Barcelona DNA. The fast-moving sports car from last season, Barcelona is determined not to let it go. He once brutally ate Alba raw, known as the football flash, and now he has become a "lame duck".

Welbeck, known as the great British striker, a tough and black center of Manchester United, Mourinho once claimed that "if he is one of the players he will never sell", he has now become the inventor of kicking assists.

With all these things, Zhang Mai feels that Professor Wenger's time at Arsenal is really numbered!
