The 2014 Golden Globe Awards caused a lot of controversy, and even indirectly led to the issue of internal strife in the England team, which is likely to lead to major changes in the structure of the England national team.

But those things still need time to ferment slowly. After Lee Chenglong returns to England, he will rush to prepare for the game.

On January 17, in the 22nd round of the Premier League, Liverpool went away to challenge Aston Villa.

In the first round of this season, Liverpool was beaten by Villa at home, so this time, it can be regarded as Liverpool's battle of revenge.

Villa has been in decline for many years, and they have no grudges against Liverpool. In fact, there is no revenge, but it is just to avoid being double-killed.

The pre-match press conference, which was Jackie Chan's first appearance in front of the media after the Golden Globe Awards, attracted a large number of English media.

We are here to participate in the game today. Out of respect for Villa, I hope everyone can talk about issues related to this game as much as possible.

Li Chenglong gagged the reporters directly from the beginning.

The Golden Globe Awards are in the past tense, and Lee Chenglong doesn't want to quarrel anymore and create topics for the media.

However, under the provocation of a group of reporters, Li Chenglong still said: I hope that this year's Champions League knockout round can draw Real Madrid. After all, last year's Champions League final gave me good memories.

But you were double-killed by Real Madrid in the group stage. As soon as Li Chenglong challenged Real Madrid, some reporters immediately raised objections.

The group stage and the knockout stage are completely different games. Is it your first day as a reporter? You don't understand such a simple truth? Li Chenglong said a few words to this uninterested reporter, and then left.

At Villa Park, a determined Liverpool played with ease.

In the first half, Li Chenglong received a pass from Henderson in the penalty area and scored a goal. Then in the second half, he took a beautiful curve ball from the left side of the front of the penalty area and scored twice.

In the end, Liverpool beat Aston Villa 3-0 in the away game. The other goal was scored by Lambert who came off the bench.

Liverpool won easily, but there is no change in the league ranking, and the point difference with the teams in front and behind has not changed, because Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham and the dark horse Southampton all won this round.

On the contrary, Manchester City lost 0:2 to Arsenal at home, and they drew with Everton in another round. Chelsea has now opened up a gap of 5 points.

After winning Villa, the next week will be the League Cup semi-final against Chelsea.

The schedule of this season has entered the second half, and it is time for the team to consider the goal planning for this season.

For this reason, Jackie Lee deliberately took Gerrard to communicate with Rogers.

Li Chenglong believes that it is unrealistic for Liverpool to compete in the Premier League at present, so more consideration should be given to other games that can make a difference.

The League Cup has reached the semi-finals. This is the most chance to compete for the championship, and of course it is an important game.

Next, as long as they pass the Chelsea semi-final, the chances of winning the League Cup will be much higher.

In addition to the League Cup, the Champions League is also an important game that requires energy.

Although Liverpool played a bit poorly in this year's Champions League group stage, as Lee Chenglong said before, the group stage and the knockout stage are completely different types of games.

Teams that didn't play well in the group stage but made it all the way to the knockout stage have happened many times.

So as long as Liverpool adjusts their form, the knockout can still make a difference.

Li Chenglong believes that the focus of Liverpool in the second half of the schedule should be the League Cup and the Champions League knockout rounds.

Of course, although there is no chance of winning the Premier League, you can't just give up. It is necessary to try to ensure that you enter the top four.

Therefore, in order to avoid being involved in energy at that time, Li Chenglong felt that he needed to grab points in the Premier League before the Champions League knockout, so that the team could quickly return to the top four, and it would be best to establish some advantages.

In this way, after the knockout round of the Champions League comes, the team can properly shift its focus to the Champions League and strive for good results in the Champions League.

This season's Champions League is the first time for Liverpool to participate in the competition after many years. For Rodgers, it is the first time to lead the team to participate. For Lee Chenglong, it is the defending season, and even for Gerrard, it is his curtain call.

In short, for everyone, this year's Champions League is very special and very important. Everyone hopes to achieve some good results.

On January 20, in the first round of the League Cup semi-final, Liverpool faced Chelsea at home.

Before the start of the game, Lee Jackie saw the banners pulled by the fans for him in the Anfield stadium.

King Bruce, you are the real best player, and you will always be the best in our hearts!

The semi-finals of the League Cup are based on a home and away two-round system, but unlike European matches, this two-round system does not count away goals. If the two rounds are tied after 90 minutes, they will directly enter the extra round. Time game.

If the score is still tied after extra time, then the away goals will be counted, and the team with the most away goals wins.

If the number of away goals is also the same, then it will enter the penalty shootout.

This format is a bit strange, but it has been used for many years, this is the tradition of the FA.

At Anfield, Liverpool arranged the strongest lineup, while Chelsea rotated Fabregas and Kanter, two important players.

They probably want to hold back.

Although the key players were rotated, Chelsea was the first to attack.

After the start of the game, the two sides tested each other for a while, and then in the 15th minute, Hazard broke into the penalty area with the ball and was tripped by Emre Can. The referee immediately awarded a penalty.

Hazard did it overnight and helped Chelsea take the lead.

However, just 5 minutes after Hazard's goal, Liverpool equalized the score.

In the 20th minute, Li Chenglong received the ball in front of the penalty area to get rid of William, and then tried a long shot.

Unexpectedly, the ball just hit the side of Matic's calf and bounced into the opponent's goal.

This unexpected refracted goal greatly boosted Liverpool's morale, and then the team continued to attack. Sterling scored before the end of the first half, reversing the score 2:1.

In the second half of the game, the two sides continued to see each other back and forth for a while, but the score still remained unchanged.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Mourinho began to direct the team to slow down, ready to accept the result of a small loss in the away game.

With a small loss at Anfield, Chelsea has every chance to return to Stamford Bridge to equalize the score in the second round, or even reverse the score.

But in the 78th minute, with a corner kick from Liverpool, Li Chenglong found a gap in the scuffle in front of the goal, stabbed the goal, and rewritten the score to 3:1.

Bruce~~~It's him again!! He scored twice, this is his two goals in two consecutive games!

He should have vented all his depression about missing the Ballon d'Or on the court!

Li Chenglong is in good form. After scoring twice in the Premier League on the weekend, he scored twice in the semi-finals of the League Cup, which made the England commentator consciously find a reason for him.

After Jackie Lee scored that goal, the entire Liverpool team shrunk their defense and kept the score 3:1 until the end.

Liverpool defeated Chelsea 3:1 in the first leg, which is a great advantage, and they will have a great chance to advance to the League Cup final this season.
