Chapter 414: The Unpopular League Cup

While Liverpool beat CSKA Moscow 3-1 away, Wolfsburg beat PSV Eindhoven 2-0 at home in another game in the same group.

So in the standings after three rounds of the group stage, the situation of Liverpool's group is still clear, basically it is the situation where Liverpool and Wolfsburg join hands to qualify.

Liverpool ranked first with 2 wins, 1 draw and 7 points, and Wolfsburg ranked second with 2 wins, 1 loss and 6 points.

Then CSKA Moscow ranked third with 3 points, and PSV Eindhoven ranked last with 1 point.

Speaking of which, Eindhoven's point was still won from Liverpool.

Among the other Champions League group matches in the middle of the week, there are two strong battles that have attracted much attention.

Real Madrid challenged Paris in an away game. This game can be regarded as Real Madrid's revenge against Rogers. Last season, Real Madrid lost to Liverpool in the Champions League semi-finals, and it was also lost to Rogers.

Now Rogers went to Paris to coach, but met Real Madrid again.

In the end, the game was played 0:0, which was a bit disappointing to everyone.

Another strong battle is Arsenal's home game against Bayern. This can be regarded as a life-and-death battle for Arsenal to qualify.

In the third round of the group stage, they encountered a life-and-death battle for qualifying. This is indeed a bit embarrassing, but it is the way it is.

If they can't win Bayern at home, Arsenal will basically say goodbye to this season's Champions League.

Arsenal, who were on the edge of the cliff, rebounded from the bottom. They defeated Bayern 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium and continued to retain the possibility of qualifying for the group.

At the same time, the other two pairs played in the Premier League, Chelsea tied Dynamo Kiev 0:0 away, and Manchester City defeated Sevilla 2:1 at home, both of which were not bad results.

With Chelsea's current shit-like state, it is not bad to score a point against Dynamo Kiev.

Only three rounds of the UEFA Champions League group stage have been played, and Lee has already scored 8 goals in the UEFA Champions League, which is a career record.

Season Champions League group stage scoring record.

Previously, Jackie Chan's single-season Champions League group stage goal record was only 6.

Now, Jackie Lee has refreshed his record to 8, and he is only one goal away from the highest record of goals scored in a UEFA Champions League group in a single season.

Cristiano Ronaldo in the 13/14 season and Adriano in the 14/15 season both scored 9 goals in the group stage.

It is also worth mentioning that after scoring twice this time, Jackie Chan's total number of goals in the Champions League has reached 47.

Such a number of goals has raised Lee Chenglong's ranking in the Champions League's top scorer list to within the top ten, and tied for eighth with Eusebio.

Among the players in front of Jackie Chan, only Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are active players, and the others are all retired celebrities.

In all aspects of football, Li Chenglong is trying his best to prove that he is a player at the same level as Melo.

After the midweek Champions League game, the next weekend is the Premier League.

On October 25th, in the 10th round of the Premier League, Liverpool played against Southampton at home.

Due to the previous two consecutive draws,

Manchester City gradually caught up, so in this game, Uncle Zha insisted on scoring three points.

If Liverpool can't win this game again, and at the same time Manchester City wins smoothly, then Liverpool will lose the top position after this round.

Of course, this round of Manchester City's game is not easy. They will usher in the first Manchester Derby this season, and it is an away game. It is still difficult to get three points.

At Anfield, Mane was in excellent form against his old club.

He first broke the deadlock for Liverpool in the first half, and then made the opponent's red card in the second half. At the same time, he also sent a nanny assist to help Li Chenglong also score a goal.

In this way, Liverpool won the Saints Southampton cleanly 2:0 at home, ending two rounds of winless, while continuing the team's unbeaten record.

At the same time, in other games of this round, Manchester City drew 0:0 with Manchester United at Old Trafford.

In this case, Liverpool took the opportunity to open up the two-point difference.

At present, Liverpool continues to occupy the top spot with 26 points, and Manchester City ranks second with 22 points.

The point difference between the two teams has expanded to 4 points, which is considered a relatively safe point difference distance, and at least one game cannot be recovered.

Instead, Arsenal took the opportunity to catch up, and they are only one point away from Manchester City.

In addition, Chelsea lost again this round. They lost to West Ham United 1:2 away in the London derby and slipped to the relegation zone.

On October 28th, the mid-week League Cup round of sixteen match day.

This time, Liverpool will face the relegation team Bournemouth at home, and Uncle Zha once again arranged a substitute lineup to play.

Liverpool has already played too many games this season, and when the Christmas schedule is intensive, the team will also fly to Japan to participate in the Club World Cup, so of course the key players in the team must be rested.

It is worth mentioning that the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League have ended, and Guangzhou Evergrande has reached the final without any surprises, and will face the UAE team Dubai Al-Ahli in the final.

It should not be a big problem for Evergrande to win the AFC Champions League. After all, the AFC Champions League has been won by East Asian teams for a long time in recent years.

So the Chinese media have also begun to look forward, looking forward to the match between Evergrande and Liverpool in the Club World Cup.

Facing Bournemouth, which is not strong at home, Liverpool successfully advanced even if they played off the bench.

Adam Lallana scored with a long-range shot in the first half. This was the only goal of the game. Liverpool eliminated Bournemouth 1-0 and successfully advanced to the quarter-finals of the League Cup.

In this week's round of 16 in the League Cup, there were three upsets.

Chelsea was eliminated by Stoke City, which can only be regarded as a little cold. After all, Stoke City is a Premier League team, and Chelsea is currently in a mess.

However, Manchester United was eliminated by the Championship team Middlesbrough at home, and Arsenal lost 0:3 to Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship. These two games were relatively big upsets.

In other words, in the quarter-finals of the League Cup this season, four of the top six teams in the Premier League are absent.

In addition to Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United who were eliminated at the same time in this round, Tottenham have also been eliminated. They drew Derby in the last round and were eliminated by Arsenal 1:2 at home.

So now, only two strong teams, Liverpool and Manchester City, are still in the League Cup.

Soon, the results of the draw for the quarter-finals of the League Cup by the FA came out.

Liverpool didn't draw Manchester City, but they didn't draw easy opponents either.

Among the current top eight teams in the League Cup, there are four Championship teams: Sheffield Wednesday, Middlesbrough, Hull City and Stoke City.

In other words, in terms of probability, Liverpool should have a half probability of being drawn to the English Championship team.

It's a pity that the FA successfully allowed Liverpool to avoid the four teams perfectly, and drew Southampton, who had just played against each other in the league.

If the main force is facing Southampton, Liverpool will have no problem winning the opponent.

But if they play as a substitute, Liverpool can beat the Saints without seeing it, especially in away games.
