Chapter 335 Champions League life and death battle
I missed a good chance to enter the top four in the league, but as Rogers said, as long as the Champions League can reach the knockout round, everything is worth it.
The final round of the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 2015 season started. Liverpool played at home against the Swiss team Basel, known as the Premier League killer.
Before the start of the game, the English media were also talking about Liverpool's current qualifying situation.
In the current Liverpool group, although Ludogorets still has a chance to qualify, it is actually not great. If the Bulgarian team wants to qualify, they must defeat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu. A draw will allow them to qualify.
Actually, Real Madrid has won five consecutive Champions League group matches. I believe they will not let water at home and miss the opportunity to win six consecutive group matches.
If it is assumed that Ludogorets cannot beat Real Madrid by default, then another top team must be produced before Basel and Liverpool.
According to the points of the two teams, as long as Liverpool is unbeaten at home, they will be able to overtake Basel in points, get second in a group, and enter the Champions League knockout round again after six years.
The last time Liverpool participated in the Champions League was in the season five years ago, but that season Liverpool failed to reach the knockout rounds.
So Liverpool's last Champions League knockout trip was six years ago.
Speaking of which, although Liverpool can still qualify in a tie, if it really draws, Liverpool will qualify with 6 points, which will tie Zenit St. Petersburg last season and be listed as the team with the lowest points in the UEFA Champions League. , that might be awkward.
At Anfield, both sides have arranged their strongest lineups.
Since Liverpool only needed a tie to qualify, they played a bit conservatively after the game started.
This is Rogers' arrangement, and he hopes that the team can play more steadily.
But he may have forgotten, can the current Liverpool team be stable defensively?
Sure enough, after only more than 20 minutes of stability in the opening game, Liverpool was scored.
In the 24th minute, the opponent's midfielder Fabian Frey shot a long-range world wave and directly broke through Mignolet's goal to help Basel take the lead.
Although things like world waves are difficult to limit, at that time no one tried to limit the opponent's long-range shots, and the defense still had to be blamed.
Now it's all right, the match where a tie can qualify allows the opponent to take the lead, and it has really become a life-and-death battle.
And after taking the lead, the morale of the Basel team has greatly increased. It may be that the attribute of the Premier League killer has been activated. After that, no matter the offense or defense, they will play in style.
Throughout the first half, Basel did not lose the wind on the scene, and it seemed that they really wanted to kill Liverpool.
Fortunately, Liverpool played well at home. Although they failed to find a chance to equalize the score, they did not continue to give their opponents another chance.
Liverpool temporarily ended the first half with a score of 0:1 behind.
During the intermission, the England commentator kept worrying about Liverpool.
In the locker room, Li Chenglong also took the initiative to stand up and express his thoughts.
Let's attack. Attack should be the characteristic of our team.
Li Chenglong put it more tactfully, in fact, he has no trust in the team's defense at all.
However, Liverpool's defensive performance this season is indeed not reassuring.
Rogers also agrees with this point of view. At present, the score is behind. If the team cannot equalize, it will really be eliminated, or it will be eliminated in a group that is not difficult. This might affect his career. of.
At the beginning of the second half, Liverpool began to strengthen their offensive, and Basel also made substitutions, replacing Rocky Samuel, who is currently serving the retirement of their team.
But Samuel was already in his mid-thirties, and the fuel tank was almost out of gas.
In the 54th minute, Sterling passed a half-high ball from the right. This was not a good opportunity, but under the interference of Samuel, Lee Chenglong forcibly completed a half-turned volley from outside the penalty area.
Li Chenglong hit the ball head-on with the instep, which not only made the ball extremely fast, but also unintentionally drew a small arc.
The ball successfully passed over the head of the opponent's defender Safari, then bypassed the five fingers of the opponent's goalkeeper Vacilik, and flew directly into the upper right corner of the opponent's goal.
Goooooooooooal~~~~~~~
Bruce~~~~ A ground-breaking volley!!!
The ball was played so beautifully, it was a perfect goal!!
When Liverpool's score fell behind and the situation was unfavorable, Super Blues stood up. He helped Liverpool equalize the score and put the team back in a favorable position.
After scoring the goal, Li Chenglong rushed to the sidelines excitedly and let out a venting roar.
He only led Schalke to win the Champions League last season, but after joining Liverpool this season, his performance in the new team was not satisfactory.
His personal performance is not bad, but Liverpool's overall performance is not satisfactory. He has been excluded from the top four in the Premier League for a long time, and it is also very difficult in the Champions League. his reason.
Although Liverpool's Champions League is difficult, it is not unrelated to Li Chenglong's suspension.
But those media don't care about this, they will just say that Lee Chenglong's ability to lead the team is not good enough, he only had an accidental rise last season, and now he will show his true colors immediately.
Now that he scored this very beautiful equalizer, Li Chenglong also took the opportunity to vent.
Soon, the entire Liverpool team rushed over and celebrated excitedly with Lee Chenglong on the sidelines.
Bruce, that goal was so fucking beautiful.
How you did it is unimaginable.
Gerrard, Henderson and others embraced Jackie Lee excitedly and cheered.
At the same time, the Liverpool fans in the stands were also chanting the slogan of the king. Jackie Chan is already the king of Anfield.
Jackie Chan's shocking world wave not only allowed Liverpool to equalize the score, but also seemed to dissipate the morale of Basel.
Then the game restarted, Liverpool continued to strengthen the offensive, but Basel did not have the momentum of the first half.
It may be that they are tired from running and cannot move.
So in the 76th minute, Gerrard also completed a long-range shot to help Liverpool overtake the score.
This goal is not only a go-ahead score, but also basically helped Liverpool secure the knockout spot.
As long as Liverpool will not concede two goals in a row, they will definitely be able to advance to the knockout round, because in the same game on the other side, Real Madrid has already led Ludogorets 3:0.
The three goals in this game were all long shots, and they all went into the goal on the same side of the field, but Bruce's volley was the most beautiful. Seeing that the situation is completely favorable to Liverpool, the England commentator also said in the mood started other.
Under Liverpool's deliberate consumption, the next game time ran quickly.
Not long after, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.
At this time, the Anfield Stadium once again fell into crazy cheers, and various red flag ribbons were flying around the scene.
The game ended and Liverpool won. With the goals of Lee and Gerrard, they beat Basel 2-1 at home and successfully advanced to the knockout stage.
After a lapse of six years, we will see Liverpool again in the Champions League knockout round, and see the red team that England is best at playing in the Champions League.
