In preparation for next week's Champions League clash with Anderlecht in midweek, many of the players have previously played in two international matches.

Bei Bald made major changes to the lineup, Hyypia, Luis. Garcia, Hamann, Reese and Steven Gerrard, who picked up an injury in the previous round against Chelsea, were all absent from the starting line-up, with Tang Wu even on the bench. Sissoko replaced Steven Gerrard in midfield and Cisse returned to the starting line-up after five bench games.

Blackburn Rovers beat Manchester United 2-1 in the last league round and look confident against Liverpool this time. Savage returned from suspension and Kuchi replaced the injured Bellamy.

After the opening, Blackburn Rovers were more proactive and tough on the road. Savic's passing continued to threaten, especially in the sixth minute, when Pedelsen's cross from the right grazed the post and flew off the line.

"Steven, what's going on with you?"

Gerald's calves were covered in gauze, and his socks were bulging.

"Drogba, he's like a beast!" Gerald shrugged his shoulders, a little helpless on his face.

"Well, I thought Frank did it." Hearing Drogba's name, Tang Wu raised his eyebrows, and the wound on his forehead was still faintly painful.

"Although the two of us are not compatible on the court, he is still okay in terms of character." Gerrard shook his head, "Actually, it's not just Frank, but also Crowder, John, these players are very good. ”

"Well, you're right."

Tang Wu knew what Gerard was referring to.

In the face of Chelsea's wolf nature, Gerrard is indeed a bit alone.

Although Tang Wu missed the league game against Chelsea, it was clear from Gerrard's face that the defeat really caused indelible damage to the Reds.

In fact, even Beckon and the club's hierarchy have misjudged Liverpool and Chelsea.

Fans often say that Liverpool are a goalkeeper-based attacking team, and this time the top brass seem to be looking to prove themselves against the Blues.

As a result, the performance failed, and the Red Army lost decently.

At this time, people found out that it was not Liverpool that needed the goalkeeper to help attack, but the "combination of Chinese and Western" between Tang Wu and the Spanish gang had completely formed a whole, and no link could be missing.

Seeing the team lose, and it was a big defeat, the KOPs who were shouting before also closed their mouths.

Now that you can't even win, who cares about who launches the attack?

Although Blackburn defeated Manchester United, it could not change the fact that they were slightly inferior to Liverpool in terms of overall strength.

The two sides played for more than ten minutes, with the Reds taking advantage of the width of the field to give Crouch and Cisse more chances.

In the 18th minute, Alonso took a corner kick from the right, and Cice's clever hook shot from seven yards in front of the middle of the box hit Crouch's body and bounced towards the goal, but the power was too small and was confiscated by Friedel.

The ball disappointed the KOPs who came to cheer in the stands, and it took a long time for Bei Bald to let go of his clenched fists.

Chelsea thrashed Bolton Wanderers 5-1 yesterday and Liverpool will not only need a win to close the gap, but also a beautiful win to prove themselves.

Otherwise, one will go further and further on the road to a big victory, and the other will not even be able to play with a score of 1-0, and fans will hardly compare these two teams together.

There is also luck in winning the championship, Chelsea is gaining momentum, and the other three red are struggling to support, and the luck is getting thinner and thinner.

The situation on the field is very balanced, which is clearly not within the scope of the Bald plan.

Although Reina also frequently rushed out of the penalty area or attacked or participated in the attack, his offensive role was far from Tang Wu's.

Looking at Reina, who was constantly running uselessly on the field, Gerrard suddenly remembered something: "Don, the team has had a meeting in the past few days and clarified the goals for this season. ”

"Oh? What did the boss say? ”

"Champion!" Gerrard's eyes were blazing at the mention of these two words, "The club's top management has given the head a death order, and he would rather give up the Champions League than win the league title." ”

"The boss said it in front of everyone?" Tang Wu said curiously.

"Of course the boss wouldn't say that!" Gerald shook his head, "But that's exactly what it means." ”

Gerald is the captain, and he does have the ability to get some information that the rest of the team doesn't know.

"So ruthless? Then we'll just be out of the group stage. ”

"That's not going to work." Gerrard shook his head, "The Champions League is still very important, and it is because we won the Champions League last season that we have so much money to buy people, so the club's order is to at least reach the last four. ”

"Final four?" Tang Wu snorted lightly, "What are you hesitating about if you can make it to the top four, even if you fight, you have to fight for a champion!" The club is so focused on the league title this season, I thought the Champions League only needed to have a round of 16. ”

"No, no, don, you're naïve." Gerrard shook his head repeatedly, "You don't know, for the league title and the Champions League, the club has made it clear this season that you will not be sent to the FA Cup and League Cup except for the final. ”

"What?" Tang Wu was surprised to hear this. "Don't even want the FA Cup?"

"That's right." Gerald nodded.

"Chelsea don't have much to offer, and their rise is largely due to the financial resources of the owners and the guidance of the manager. In fact, the club's top management has always thought that only Liverpool can break the monopoly of Arsenal and Manchester United with such qualifications, but now it is difficult for us to win not only Everton, Newcastle and other teams, and the sudden emergence of Chelsea has disrupted the plans of the management. ”

'You know, Chelsea are heretics and they wear blue shirts.

Gerrard said, pinching the jersey on his chest and shaking, "The main theme of the Premier League is red, I'm afraid the old lord and the professor will not allow blue to win the Premier League championship for two consecutive years." ”

"Well, if you're right, we're going to have to work hard this season!"

Tang Wu smacked his lips, if he left the FA Cup and League Cup behind, his schedule would definitely become easier, even if there was no rotation.

But the club didn't even want the FA Cup for the title, which was a bit of a surprise.

As things stand, the FA Cup is Liverpool's easiest title to win. But now, the club is not prepared to field more key players in the FA Cup.

Tang Wu thought for a while, with Reina's ability, he could still cope with these two cup matches. As for where he can rush, it depends on Reina's own creation.

If he plays well, Reyna still has a chance to show himself in front of the world.

Tang Wu and Gerrard were chatting, and the form on the field changed.

In the 39th minute, Cisse was brought down by Sizanishvili on the edge of the box, and referee Halsey twice consulted with the linesman and awarded a direct free kick from outside the box, but Sizanishvili was sent off with a straight red card. Dutchman Zenden's left-footed free-kick from 20 yards went straight at the crossbar and bounced off the crossbar.

In the second half, Blackburn, who had one less man to play, contracted his defense across the board. Despite being outnumbered, Blackburn, who left only Kuchi in front of the attack, was still on the pitch to put pressure on Liverpool.

After gaining the numerical advantage, the Reds continued to test the pressure on their opponents, and the game was at a stalemate.

It wasn't until the 78th minute that the Reds finally broke through the opponent's door.

Savic fouled Cenden from 25 yards out, and it was Alonso who took the free-kick this time. He flicked the ball in Gerrard's foot, and Cisse, who was in place, fired a powerful shot into the bottom left corner of the net.

The 3,000 people who came with the team cheered at the KOP gate.

At the end of the game, who is still counting whether the game is beautiful or not, whether it is a big victory?

If the team can score goals and win, it's already thankful. As a fan, it's better to be down-to-earth.
