Young Football Player

On December 2, the day of the English League Cup quarter-finals in the middle of the week, Liverpool went to an away game against Southampton.

The time has entered December, the Premier League's intensive schedule is coming, and Liverpool is preparing to go to Japan to participate in the Club World Cup, so in this League Cup match, Liverpool will still play as a substitute.

Not only did he play off the bench, Klopp even brought up some young players from the youth team and took them away to see the world.

This is the obvious rhythm of abandoning the League Cup.

The motleyball team Liverpool played well in the away game. Within 90 minutes, they drew 1:1 with the Saints, who played most of the main players. However, they conceded two goals in a row in overtime, and finally got their wish. They lost 1:3 and were eliminated. Out of the League Cup game.

With Liverpool out, Manchester City has also become the biggest favorite to win the English League Cup this season.

The four teams currently in the semi-finals are Manchester City, Everton, Stoke City, and Southampton. It seems that Manchester City's chances of winning the championship are indeed very high.

On December 5th, in the 15th round of the Premier League, Liverpool went away to challenge Newcastle United.

Since the Magpies were promoted back to the Premier League in 2010, they have been a very stable Premier League relegation team for five consecutive seasons. Even in the season, they unexpectedly won the fifth place in the Premier League and participated in the Europa League once. Later, he made it all the way to the quarterfinals.

You must know that in that season, Chelsea, which won the Champions League, only ranked sixth in the Premier League, one place lower than Newcastle.

But this season, the Magpies seem a little less optimistic.

At present, the Premier League schedule is about to pass halfway, but Newcastle has been deeply trapped in the relegation zone and cannot extricate themselves.

In the current Premier League standings, Newcastle ranks nineteenth, which is the second-to-last.

Such a position is indeed more dangerous for Newcastle.

But this time, Newcastle really played the spirit of their Magpies, and once again proved that the relegation team is difficult to play.

Newcastle's tenacious defense in the first half prevented Liverpool from finding a chance.

At the beginning of the second half, Li Chenglong received a pass from Robertson and scored a goal, but was called offside first.

But judging from the replay, this should be a good shot.

A good goal was blown away by a misjudgment, and the luck of the next game went to Newcastle.

In the 72nd minute, Dutch midfielder Wijnaldum took a strong shot from the right side of the penalty area. The ball hit Skrtel's thigh and bounced into the goal. The opponent took the lead with an own goal.

Then Liverpool launched a final counterattack, but Wijnaldum single-handedly scored in the counterattack.

In this way, Liverpool lost 0:2 away to the relegation team Newcastle United.

Wijnaldum made an own goal first and then scored to seal the victory. There is no doubt that he became the best player in the game.

In an interview after the game, Li Chenglong also did the work of seduction.

He's a very good player and I think he has what it takes to play for a big club.

I think he's going to be the player Liverpool need...

Newcastle's poor state this season is very likely to be relegated.

Once Newcastle is relegated, many players in their team will need to find a next home, and the price is not expensive, it is definitely a good place to shop for treasure.

In addition to Liverpool's loss in this round of the Premier League,

Manchester City and Chelsea also lost.

Chelsea is really fascinated this season, and any opponent dares to lose. Recently, news about Mourinho's get out of get out of get out of class is bursting out.

It seems that Chelsea's patience has almost reached its limit, and Magic Bird is really about to dismiss get out of class.

Last season, he also led Chelsea to the Premier League title, but this season collapsed inexplicably.

Although some of the teams that Mourinho has coached before have experienced a three-year itch, they have never experienced the current avalanche situation.

From the beginning of the new season to now, Chelsea has been going back and forth near the relegation zone. Now let alone fighting for the Premier League championship, they may not even be able to win a Champions League qualification.

At the same time, Manchester United and Tottenham only got one draw at the same time this round, but Arsenal and Leicester City both won.

After the Blue Fox won, the point difference between them and Liverpool was close to three points.

In the current Premier League standings, Liverpool have 35 points, Leicester City 32 points, Arsenal and Manchester City 29 points, Manchester United and Tottenham 26 points.

Coincidentally, the current point difference in the standings is three points, which is exactly the distance of one game.

In this round, Liverpool is away to challenge Wolfsburg.

Since the team has already locked in the first place in the group, and Liverpool's lead in the Premier League is not too big, Klopp arranged a rotation lineup for an away game in Germany.

Li Chenglong also followed, but he sat on the bench.

Klopp is more casual about this game, and the only requirement is not to lose too ugly.

Liverpool is also the defending champion after all. If the away game loses too badly, it will probably have to let Jackie Lee wait to put out the fire.

Since Liverpool beat Wolfsburg 5:1 at home in the first round, Wolfsburg did shout the slogan of revenge at home in this game.

If Liverpool doesn't play well and Wolfsburg really plays well, they may indeed give Liverpool a massacre at home.

However, in the Volkswagen Arena, there is no such extreme situation.

Wolfsburg took the lead at the start, but soon Liverpool equalized the score, but before the end of the first half, Wolfsburg scored again and ended the first half with a score of 2:1.

In the second half, Liverpool evened the score again, but in the 84th minute, defender Naldo with a knife completed the lore.

In this way, Liverpool lost 2:3 to Wolfsburg in the away game, a score acceptable to both sides. Wolfsburg achieved revenge by defeating Liverpool at home, and Liverpool's loss was not ugly, and it also gave the main players a rest.

At this point, this season's Champions League group stage is all over.

The third place in the group with a negative score of 7 points has won the qualification to participate in the knockout round of this season's Europa League.

As for CSKA Moscow, they finished last with 1 win, 5 losses and 3 points.

In the final round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, the most concerned is Arsenal, to see if they can finally advance.

Fortunately, Arsenal did not disappoint everyone. They beat Olympiacos 3-0 in the away game relying on Giroud's hat-trick, and finally caught up with Olympiacos with 9 points. , and finally advanced to the knockout round.

Originally, Arsenal were allocated a simple group match, but they lost the chain and almost played themselves to death. Fortunately, they advanced without any risk.

The two red teams, Liverpool and Arsenal, both advanced, and the other two blue teams in the Premier League did not go wrong.

Chelsea won Porto 2-0 at home and successfully advanced to the top of the group.

Manchester City is a team that has already qualified early, but after losing to Juventus in the last round, everyone thought that they probably would not get the first place in the group, because in the last round Juventus only needed a tie to lock in the first place in the group.

But no one expected that there would be another twist in the last round.

Manchester City beat Borussia 4:2 at home, but the Old Lady on the other side lost 0:1 away to Sevilla.

In this case, Manchester City achieved a go-ahead in the last round, and finally advanced as the first in the group.

It is worth mentioning that the Bianconeri have been assigned to a slightly dead group in the Champions League this season. The four teams in the group are all from the four major leagues.

The Zebras had two consecutive draws against Borussia in two rounds, one win and one loss against Sevilla in two rounds, but they faced Manchester City in two rounds, and they completed a double kill.

Manchester City, who could be double-killed, ended up first in the group with 4 wins and 2 losses.
