Champions

That was the stage that Wu Sanshi longed for the most.

In Europe, isn't the Champions League the most important stage on the tower? The top players should play in the top leagues in the top clubs.

The Champions League is undoubtedly the brightest stage.

After the game with Burnley, Wu Sanshi set his sights on the Champions League, although the matter between Torres and Benitez was in a uproar, but it was the matter of the manager and Torres, and it had nothing to do with him.

There are media reports that he grabbed Torres's core position, but what does it mean to rob? This is professional football, whoever is awesome is on it, there is no robbery at all, if Torres scores more goals than him and is in better shape than him, he can't be the core if he wants to.

The British "Observer" asked him this question outside the training ground the next day, and Wu Sanshi did not have a dark face at the time, but his answer was a little cold.

'I'm top of the Premier League scorers' charts, I've got six goals, that's why I'm a regular at Liverpool.'

"I hope you don't create a conversation and a conflict between me and Torres, I don't have any problems with Torres, the rivalry that exists is only on the pitch, we all want Torres to come back and score more goals, that's what I think about Torres. He's a great striker who has won the European Championship and they could even win it at next year's World Cup. ”

Although sitting in the core position, it is impossible for Wu Sanshi to fall into the well and step on Torres, although Torres stepped on him for Aguero back then, he is not a grudge-holding guy.

However, it looks like Torres is going to continue his tragedy in the Champions League, and according to the current situation, Torres is unlikely to squeeze into the main lineup.

Liverpool's big win also made fans pay less attention to Torres, and even Gerrard's matter was about to be downplayed.

Gerald quietly returned to his family's mansion, and at this time, there were no paparazzi to follow him.

Everyone is waiting for the Champions League to arrive.

On Monday morning, Liverpool announced their squad for the Champions League group stage, a 28-man squad that is worth mentioning that Degen, who was brought in last summer, was left out of the list.

Liverpool does often raise a lot of idlers, sometimes Wu Sanshi really doesn't understand, why Benitez always likes to buy some useless guys, and Manchester United in the next few years, are some players who seem to be able to play, but are not famous.

Later, Wu Sanshi understood, because although the club is also a super giant, it is especially not attractive enough for players, because there is no hope and they can't win the championship......

Liverpool can win the Champions League, but they can't win the league title, which may be the biggest problem.

And, of course, money......

No more salary, no honor, the best stars don't want to come.

The 26-year-old former Swiss international joined Liverpool on a free transfer in the summer of '08 and signed a four-year contract with a weekly salary of £37,000, and while the price for bringing him in was modest for the Reds, it was an inefficient deal in terms of input and output, and so far, the injury-ridden Degen has only played 157 minutes for the Liverpool first team, which equates to £15,000 for every minute he plays.

Rafael Benitez had planned to sell Degen this summer, but could not find a buyer, and Liverpool looked to have little hope of Degen, who was selected for a number of youth shortlists, without Degen being considered.

Liverpool's Champions League squad

Goalkeepers: Reina, Cavallieri, David Martin;

Defenders: Aquilani, Gerrard, Benayoun, Mascherano, Lucas, Spring, Plessis, Riera;

Forwards: Torres, Wu Sanshi, Kuyt, Babel, Suarez, Amo, Ecclestone

In the opening game at Anfield, Liverpool were nine out of ten against their weakest opponents.

In the Champions League, no European team underestimates Liverpool. Even if it's AC Milan and Real Madrid.

Needless to say, Milan will never be able to raise its head when it comes to 2005, although they took revenge in 2007, but they still can't let go of 2005 in their hearts.

As for Real Madrid? In the last meeting, Liverpool beat them all over the ground.

And Liverpool had a series of records before this game -

Liverpool's European record (total): 300 games, wins, 171, draws, 65, losses, 64

Liverpool's Champions League match record: 169 games, 99 wins, 36 draws, 36 losses

One more win for the Reds in the Champions League would increase their tally to 100. Their first Champions League win came in August 1964 when they thrashed Iceland's Reykjavík 5-0.

Liverpool's three more goals would take their tally to 550 goals in European competition.

Liverpool's three group stage opponents in this season's Champions League have never played Liverpool before. Debreson will be Liverpool's 104th opponent in European competition.

The game will be Liverpool's first meeting with a Hungarian side in 35 years – the last time being in the 1974/75 European Cup Winners' Cup against Ferencvalos.

In eight meetings with Hungarian sides, Liverpool have won just twice, and both times at home.

Liverpool have reached the group stage of the UEFA Champions League for the sixth year in a row (for the eighth time in nine years). However, it was only in 2006/07 that Liverpool achieved their goal of winning all of their group stage home games.

Last season, Liverpool reached 14 points in Group D, the Reds' highest number of points in the group stage.

Since losing to Rafael Benitez's side Valencia in 2002, Liverpool have failed just once in their last 15 home group games.

Steven Gerrard has scored 32 goals in European competition, the most of any English team among any English player. With just one more goal, he will be able to surpass Alan Shearer (whose 32 goals were scored by Newcastle and Blackburn Rovers respectively). However, Gerrard is still some distance away from Ruud van Nistelrooy, who has scored 38 goals for Manchester United, and Thierry Henry, who has scored 42 goals for Arsenal.

Steven Gerrard is two goals away from 30 Champions League goals in his career.

Dirk Kuyt's second goal would make him the third most efficient player in European history for the club. He has scored 11 goals in 34 games so far.

But none of these records are important to anyone's records, and that is Wu Sanshi's first time.

Unsurprisingly, he will make his first appearance for Liverpool in the Champions League and will be his first appearance in the Champions League!
