Chapter 357 Violence

After the League Cup final, the next Premier League schedule is to play the league in the middle of the week and the FA Cup on the weekend.

On March 4th, in the 28th round of the Premier League, Liverpool faced the newly promoted Burnley, who had a hard time relegation, at home.

In the League Cup final, both Gerrard and Coutinho were injured. Fortunately, the injuries were not serious. In addition, Glenn Johnson has recovered from his injury and Sturridge is also undergoing recovery training.

At Anfield, Liverpool won easily. Henderson and Sterling each scored a goal to help Liverpool win the game without bloodshed.

Although Liverpool won, there is no change in the league ranking, because all the top six Premier League players have won this round.

On March 7th, the FA Cup quarter-finals, Liverpool played against Blackburn at home.

Blackburn can be said to be the ancestor of the Premier League gold dollar football, but it set off a gold dollar frenzy in the Premier League.

In order to give back to his hometown, British steel magnate Jack Walker not only spent money to buy his hometown team, but also spent a lot of money to poach people everywhere.

The high price caused Alan Shearer and Chris Sutton to form a devil striker, and the high salary invited Liverpool King Kenny Dalglish to coach, so Blackburn finally succeeded in winning the Premier League championship in the 94/95 season.

After Blackburn won the championship, Jack Walker said a famous saying: This championship made people find Blackburn on the map of Britain.

Indeed, if there is no Premier League champion, even many British people don't know where Blackburn is. After all, it is just an unknown town in northwest England, really unknown.

Even if it weren't for Blackburn's horizontal intervention, Manchester United might have won the Premier League for five consecutive times.

In the early days of the establishment of the Premier League, Manchester United led by Ferguson could not be said to be very strong, but they had an absolute advantage. At that time, the Premier League had no competitors.

At that time, the Premier League was really dominated by Manchester United. Before Blackburn won the championship, Manchester United had completed two consecutive Premier League titles. After Blackburn won the Premier League, Manchester United had another two consecutive Premier League titles.

It happened to be the middle year, and Blackburn beat Manchester United to win the championship by one point.

If it weren't for Blackburn's big investment regardless of the cost, Manchester United might really have won the Premier League for five consecutive times.

But after that short-lived glory, Blackburn quickly declined, like a flash in the pan.

Later, when Mark Hughes was in charge, Blackburn also won the title of Violent Ben because of his rough style of play.

Blackburn experienced relegation and promotion back and forth, and finally after being relegated again in 2012, they fell into the British Championship for a long time.

Today's Blackburn is already an ordinary Championship team.

Since Liverpool will go away to Portugal for the second round of the Champions League round of 16 in the middle of last week, Rodgers once again arranged a big rotation.

In the first round of the top 16 against Porto at home, Liverpool only won by one goal. This result is indeed unstable and needs to be very careful.

However, this rotation attack did not achieve the desired effect. Liverpool played a 0:0 tie with Blackburn at home and needed a rematch.

Originally, Liverpool's schedule was relatively tight, and it was really uncomfortable to have these moths.

After the game against Blackburn,

Liverpool has no rest time at all and needs to prepare quickly to play in Portugal.

On March 9th, the Liverpool team went to Porto, the second largest city in Portugal, one day earlier to prepare for the next round of the Champions League round of 16.

Since the point difference in the first round is not big, the series between Liverpool and Porto is still very suspenseful.

At least Porto fans believe very much that their team can make a comeback.

As soon as the Liverpool team arrived in Porto, they felt their enthusiasm.

All kinds of booing and noise, besieging the bus, and cursing along the way are common methods.

Porto coach Lopetegui has already shouted before the game: The dragon will take off again.

The giant dragon is Porto's nickname, and the giant dragon took off, probably using Liverpool as a takeoff runway.

Liverpool said in a brief interview with the media: We came to Portugal to adapt to the venue and prepare for the Champions League final in advance.

This year's Champions League final will be held in Portugal, so Li Chenglong said so.

But in fact the venue for the final is the Stadium of Light in Lisbon, which is the home court of Benfica.

But they are all in Portugal, so there is nothing wrong with Lee Jackie Chan saying that.

On the night of March 10th, the match between Liverpool and Porto in the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League officially started at the Porto Dragon Stadium.

With Steven Gerrard out due to injury, Jackie Lee wears Liverpool's captain's armband.

Hey, Bruce, go and guess the coin. Since Li Chenglong didn't wear the captain's armband often, he even forgot that the captain wanted to guess the coin before the game, and it was Henderson who reminded him.

After a series of pre-match preparations, the game will officially begin.

Porto's lineup is exactly the same as in the first round. They probably think that if this lineup can only lose one goal at Anfield in the first round, it will be considered a good game.

Due to the injuries of Gerrard and Coutinho, Liverpool has changed a lot.

Goalkeeper: Mignolet

Defenders: Moreno, Skrtel, Lovren, Glenn Johnson;

Midfielders: Henderson, Emre Can, Joe Allen;

Forwards: Lallana, Lee Jackie, Sterling.

Emre Can returned to midfield, while long-term substitute Joe Allen started and Lallana stepped up to striker.

Rogers prefers to play without a striker, and his tactical changes often have the midfielder on top of the striker.

At the Dragon Stadium, the whole Porto team was in high spirits amid the cheers of the home fans, and played very proactively from the beginning.

In the opening two minutes, Porto completed a lob shot, which was completed by the Spaniard Tello.

As a scrapped genius from La Masia, Tello had played against Lee Chenglong two seasons ago.

Porto played a preemptive start, but they really succeeded.

In the 14th minute, Sandro sent a good cross from the side. The Colombian Martinez missed in the middle, and the Algerian Brahimi followed up and hit the goal.

Brahimi, he took the lead for the Dragon Army in just over ten minutes. This is a perfect start. The Portuguese commentator shouted loudly.

The England commentator is sighing: The goal was conceded in the first ten minutes. This is really not good news.

Liverpool only won by one goal in the first leg, and now the opponent has equalized the total score, and the two sides are back on the same starting line.

Lopetegui on the sidelines was pumping his fists excitedly, while Rogers pursed his mouth and looked unhappy.

Li Chenglong hurriedly cheered for the whole team on the court: Everyone, don't worry, they just equalized the score.

This is an away game. We can beat them twice with one ball. Don't panic.
