Chapter 68: Clearing

In addition to the FA Cup fourth-round play-offs, 5 February is another big day. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Champions League draw has begun.

It's such a coincidence, so good that Liverpool drew the opponent is, Real Madrid.

As the two strongest clubs in the history of European football, Real Madrid and Liverpool, among the three strongest clubs in the history of the Champions League, have a lot of history of playing against each other.

In the Champions League round of 16 on 26 February, the quarter-finals, Liverpool will travel to the Bernabeu.

On 5 February, the play-offs for the fourth round of the FA Cup arrived in a hurry.

This time, the Liverpool players are holding their back to prove that the team is still the best.

Everton, on the other hand, has also recovered from the remembrance activities.

At Anfield, Everton said they would give it their all.

But in fact, Everton, who played with all his strength, met Liverpool, who played with all his strength, and did not benefit at all.

Wang Zhen proves that he is the world's No. 1 center forward in the league and has doubled his cup status.

In this game, Wang Zhen scored in the seventh minute.

So far, Wang Zhen's total number of goals for Liverpool in all competitions has reached 36 goals, and there are still two full months left in the whole season, and in the previous season, Wang Zhen also rested for nearly six games (two substitute appearances).

In this game, Alonso confirmed his ability, and the parallel midfield combination with Mascherano made it impossible for Everton to push forward.

I have to say that after Wang Zhen came, the defensive ability of Liverpool's midfield was liberated, because Mascherano could play endlessly, coupled with Alonso's toughness, Liverpool's middle was basically impossible to pass.

In the 35th minute, Fernando Torres scored a goal.

The goals of both sides were frozen, 2-0, and after Liverpool returned to home, the FA Cup went one step further.

Three days later, the twenty-fifth round of the league began in a hurry, away to Portsmouth.

Portsmouth has had a bad time recently, the first half of the season looked good, but after the start of the second half of the season, Portsmouth's results have been declining, Karankica has not many options, watching the team step by step into the relegation zone, as for whether he can lead the team out of the quagmire in the end, it depends on the last ten key games.

For this game against Liverpool, Portsmouth didn't even think about scoring.

Even if the media trumpets that Liverpool's recent form has been inconsistent and blowing, the people of Portsmouth are very cautious, and they are not willing to have too much consumption in this game.

Therefore, the result of the game was obvious, Wang Zhen scored a goal and maintained terrifying firepower, Torres did not score, however, Alonso suddenly broke out, came with a goal and an assist, and assisted Wang Zhen to score a goal himself, which is a rare performance in the past year.

The result was clear, with Liverpool winning the game 2-0.

If that's all there is to it, then there is nothing to say about this game, but it is good to die, and in the third round of the game (Manchester United has the same number of games as the teams, but the third round is delayed, and in the seventeenth round it was played earlier, so it is also a total of twenty-five rounds), Manchester United was forced to draw by Fulham, which is Manchester United's home stadium.

Four suddenly became six.

Wang Zhen was very happy to open the taunt skill after the game: "I heard that someone is in the most us? But how do I feel that the people behind me are getting farther and farther away? It's almost impossible to see. ”

Even if the roots of Manchester United's popularity itched, no one stood up to speak.

Because Ferguson has learned his lesson in the transfer saliva of Cristiano Ronaldo, the players of the Jingzhi team mentioned relevant things in front of the media without permission.

On 15 February, the fifth round of the FA Cup arrived in a hurry, and the international break came, and Benitez had already issued a statement to the various national teams with Liverpool players that it would be the last midweek international break for Liverpool to allow the release, and there was a weekend before June to release the players, and the rest of the time, all at all, if not slow, to FIFA arbitration.

In the last year, there has also been a lot of uproar over the international break, with clubs deeming it inappropriate to pay high weekly salaries and only play three games for the team for four weeks a month, while playing two games for the national team.

As a result of the dissolution of Group G, it is now the Club Confederation that now negotiates with FIFA.

On the one hand, the World Cup qualifiers have not been carried out in the past two months, on the other hand, players are prone to injuries in the fatigue schedule, and more importantly, FIFA does not necessarily help the national team in the recent period of arbitration.

So, they also agree with Benitez.

But on the 15th of February, Liverpool's first team was still largely empty.

The team is back to the state of Wang Zhen with a substitute. As in previous midweek international breaks.

This time, the opponent is the fifth round of the FA Cup, Aston Villa.

The only thing to be thankful for is that this time it's Liverpool's home turf.

Since they are both top-flight teams, the home choice is the draw.

Liverpool had a bit of luck.

And in this game, Aston Villa has no less than a few internationals.

But Liverpool still has a Wang Zhen left.

As a result, Liverpool, which was substituted by Wang Zhen, was stronger than Aston Villa.

The team has gone one step further in the FA Cup and has reached the final three rounds.

And in this game, Wang Zhen scored a goal and maintained the goal rate, which is not crazy.

And the expected FA Cup hat-trick did not take advantage of this opportunity.

On 22 February, at home to Manchester City.

After the last game against Manchester City, Manchester City has changed dramatically.

One of the biggest changes is that Thaksin's roll is gone.

Arab investment firm Abu Dhabi Group takes over Manchester City.

Unlike Wang Zhen's memory, an incident happened, three months late.

However, after the change of owners, Manchester City did not behave as if they suddenly opened up, and they were still the same as at the beginning of the league.

Ranked around the tenth, constantly fluctuating up and down, unable to rush up, unable to fall.

To describe Manchester City in one word, it is desireless.

Manchester City are also very amusing in this game, wanting to test their strength with Liverpool.

The results can be imagined.

Liverpool, who dares to play with a controlling style of play, will fight against each other, and how miserable it will die has been proven by the team.

Even Arsenal suffered 5-4, how can Manchester City and Liverpool attack?

In the end, Wang Zhen scored two goals, Gerrard scored a goal, Torres scored a goal, and Manchester City only scored one goal by Robinho, and it was a 4-1 bloodbath.

The only problem with this game is that Steven Gerrard is injured.

In another scramble, Gerrard reached for the ball and did not get up after falling, which turned out to be a thigh strain.

In just four days, they will travel to the Santiago Bernabeu and Real Madrid for the quarter-finals.

Gerrard's injury at this time is not good news.

Gerrard, on the other hand, is also making a difficult decision and he is ready to play behind closed doors.
