With Liverpool, full of injuries, Benitez tried his best to assemble a semi-main squad to visit Deportivo La Coruna.

This is the first return visit to Spain after being Liverpool manager, Cisse can only be used as a lone striker after Cisse is injured, and Colwill, who should have been ambushed behind him, was replaced by Reese.

The other bad news is that Xavi Alonso has also been put on the bench, and the two games against Chelsea and Millwall have left the Spaniard with two calves swollen, and his green and red muscles have made it impossible for him to continue for 90 minutes.

Laco is yet to score in the Champions League this season but has recently returned to form and is now unbeaten in six consecutive matches. Midfielder Sergio returned from suspension, and judging from the situation of the two teams, Laco's form is picking up, and Liverpool is undoubtedly going downhill.

Less than 30 seconds into the game, Barosh almost made a one-on-one shot, but he couldn't control the ball and Molina cleared. And this single knife turned out to be the most likely opportunity for Liverpool to score, and it was wasted.

Rafael Benitez's return to his hometown did not bring good fortune to his side, and in his post-match press conference, he lamented his "small-farmer mentality": "We played a very serious game against the opponent and I told my players before the game that if we score a goal and hold on to it, we will have an easy time qualifying for the group stage. Unfortunately, maybe it was because I didn't motivate the players enough, or maybe it was bad luck in the game because we didn't even get a goal. ”

Medieval Spain had the notorious Inquisition, which was borrowed by the British press to describe the Riazor Stadium in A Coruña, as it was almost as dark as the Inquisition for the visitors.

Riazóben is a famous fortress in the Champions League.

Over the years, Laco has played 30 European games here, losing just six. Juventus have lost three times here, Manchester United and PSV Eindhoven twice, and Arsenal, Bayern Munich, AC Milan and Galatasalej have all gone home empty-handed.

This time, Liverpool can get 1 point here, which is also a "blessing" for Bei Bald.

However, he was clearly unconvinced by the home draw: "It was the goalkeeper who saved them in that game and the first half was my best 45 minutes since Liverpool took charge. This time in Riazó, obviously they need points more than we do. ”

'But I have to admit that it was our goalkeeper who saved us.

Tang Wu made a total of 14 successful saves in this game, once again becoming the tightest hurdle in the Reds' backline.

In an interview with the reporter of the "Marca" newspaper after the game, Tang Wu's fluent Spanish won praise from many media.

'A goalkeeper makes a lot of saves on the pitch, that's what a goalkeeper should do. In my opinion, this should not be a reason for him to be praised. ”

'There's been a lot of unfortunate things going on at Liverpool lately, and if I hadn't hurt my forehead, maybe I'd be in the ward with my three team-mates and maybe we'd be able to play mahjong at the same table.'

Chinese mahjong spread around the world, and reporters also smiled at Tang Wu's humor and humor.

"The next few days were the most painful for Liverpool. I'm not a striker and can't help Liverpool score and win games; But I'm going to stick to my defence, and when Captain Steven returns from injury, I'll give him a Liverpool who haven't been left behind in any competition! ”

"Captain Steven will be back in two weeks' time, which is the most exciting thing for me at the moment!"

Tang Wu's words won praise from reporters such as Marca, who portrayed Tang Wu as a resilient knight in their post-match report. In a battle that lost the "commander", Tang Wu and his army were separated from the "king", and now Tang Wu's ultimate goal is to bring the team back to the "king" intact.

Gerrard is that king, and if Liverpool hasn't been pulled apart by other teams in all competitions in two weeks' time, then Liverpool's current strength, coupled with Gerrard's return, will definitely have a chance to challenge for all titles.

In the other Group A game, Monaco lost 1-0 away to Olipia Cisco to cede top spot. There are now two rounds left in Group A, with Liverpool and Monaco both on six points each, Olympia Cisco in third with five points, and even Laco at the bottom of the table with four points.

So far, the four teams in Group A are in a stalemate, and either team could qualify or be eliminated. And it's hard to tell from the cards and their experiences in the respective Nations Leagues who are the most likely teams to qualify.

Three days later, in the 12th round of the Premier League, the Reds finally returned to Anfield. Liverpool, who have played two games in a row and are always playing in different places, are exhausted.

It was Husky's first return to Anfield since leaving Liverpool in the summer, and when he entered the stadium before the game, he looked at nearly half of the Reds' unfamiliar faces.

Birmingham have failed to score a goal in their last three league games and their winless run on the road has been extended to 11 months.

As soon as the game began, Husky single-handedly mobilized the fighting spirit of the Birmingham Department; Liverpool, who are back at home, also showed confidence in their ambitions, and the two sides engaged in fierce battles in midfield.

In the 77th minute of the game, Birmingham took a tactical corner, and Cunningham received Savic's wide cross and headed it into the goal.

Tang Wu made a subconscious save almost without thinking about it, and whether the person who received the ball continued to ferry or hit the goal with a header was no longer in his thinking.

Half a second later, substitute Anderton made an easy run from one metre in front of goal, but the ball he had just touched with his left foot was blocked almost instantly by a six-fingered glove.

Anderton subconsciously looked down and saw a hideous face with a scar on his forehead.

After 90 minutes, Liverpool held the score 0-0 at home until the end. So far this season, the home team has not tasted a defeat, barely holding on to the title of "home dragon".

One point in the league was picked up, but Liverpool once again paid a terrible price. Baros, the team's only striker, suffered a thigh muscle strain, and the team doctor recommended a break of at least a week.

The result caused a huge shock among Liverpool fans, who were at a loss and many could not accept the lack of strikers.

Owen is gone, Cisse has a broken leg, Baros is also injured, who will attack Liverpool?

Three days after the team's home draw at Birmingham, the Spaniards almost fielded a "suicidal" line-up.

On November 10, Liverpool started the Carabao Cup with the same young Pengol and Mailer up front.

Having celebrated his 22nd birthday six days ago, the Sheffield-born youngster spent last season on loan at West Ham United after an unhappy season there.

Mailer has made just eight previous appearances for Liverpool's first team, netting once in a warm-up game. If it weren't for too many surprises in the team, Mailer would have been almost a luxury to start even in the Carabao Cup.

Mailer, who was given the news of his play, was so unnatural that he simply stood at the edge of the line shyly during the pre-game moment of silence for Reds legend Hughes.

"Neil, you run forward when you get the chance, there, there, and behind that guy, understand?"

After Mailer, who was warming up by himself, received the "instructions" of Tang Wu, who was two years younger than him, his restless heart gradually calmed down.

"Uh... TOM, I don't know if I'll do it, but I think I can give it a try. Mailer scratched the back of his head, he had seen Tang Wu quickly drive the ball to the front area countless times in training, but it was either Cisse or Barosh who received the ball, and he had no chance to practice this kind of fast attack from the goalkeeper.

"Believe in yourself and just run!" Tang Wu gave Mailer a thumbs up, and below the thumb, five fingers curled together.

Seeing Tang Wuru's smile like a spring breeze, Mailer nodded, feeling a lot more confident.

Liverpool's opponents, Myburgh, won the League Cup because of last season's Carabao Cup triumph, and now they are also in high spirits in the European arena, and they are used to the sweetness, they still sent their main players in this game.

The players on both sides fought to the 80th minute in a "conflict" of chasing and catching up, and the scene was still 0-0.

At this time, this young man named Mailer, who wore the No. 33 jersey of the Red Army, appeared in people's eyes.

In the 83rd minute, Wales, also from the Liverpool Academy, made a precise pass like a "clever hand", Mailer won the ball against offside, and faced the attacking Nash with a clever shot to break through the defending champion's goal.

In the 89th minute, it was almost a replica of the match six minutes ago, except that this time the pass came from a farther and deeper backfield.

When Mailer heard the dull sound of leather and football clashing with him, he pulled his leg and ran forward, and when he ran over the center circle to the right edge of the opponent's arc, a precise "guided cannonball" landed exactly one meter in front of his right foot.

The No. 33 Reds teenager picked up a kick directly without stopping the ball and broke Nash's ten fingers again.

Seeing the white waves set off on the net, the chasing Myburgh players all stopped and sighed again and again. Myburgh's dream of defending the title was shattered at Anfield tonight.

It's hard not to compare him to Irving's outstanding performance, but after the game, Mailer almost couldn't believe it, and when facing the media, Mailer was almost "speechless".

Encouraged by the media, Mailer finally spoke: "I didn't think I would start before the game, to be honest, I was unprepared for this start. ”

"But before the game, TOM said to me, 'You have to build confidence for yourself so you can win your chances.'"

"I think I've seized the opportunity! If it weren't for TOM, maybe I would still be the timid kid in the ring. ”

Bei Bald also looked happy in the interview: "I'm happy to see him step up when the team needs him, I know he (Mailer) has this quality, it's just that he is not confident in himself!" ”

Barosh is recovering well from a thigh strain and may be back in the next game. With the formation of Bei Bald 4411, Mailer may not be seen in the league field. But, as the official Liverpool website chants: the future is bright, and this may be the future of the Reds!
