Chapter 218: Champions League quarterfinals

God closed the door for someone and opened a window for him at the same time.

This sentence did not apply to Balotelli, God opened the whole door for him, but it filled his mind with water.

Klopp was thunderous at this time, and he had the heart to kill.

In the precious time of halftime, he also gave Balotelli a special explanation, you must be careful, be reliable, don't eat cards anymore, but there is no use.

"Wow, just a minute into the second half, Balotelli was sent off, what did he do?"

In the slow-motion replay, Balotelli was pushed to the ground by Blackburn midfielder Masoor, and the referee only verbally warned Masoor, which caused Super Mario to be dissatisfied, he went up to the referee to theorize, and poked Mr. Referee's ass with his fingers......

"This is Balotelli, you never know when he's going to get a mess of his brain! This action will cause him trouble. Lineker shook his head and said the Italian could be suspended after the game.

The camera captured that Jiang Chenxi on the bench covered his face with his hands, obviously unable to look directly at this scene.

"Bastard!" The veteran Skrtel was speechless next to him.

Balotelli was sent off and Liverpool played one man less.

This put Liverpool, who should have won the game easily, into a hard-fought battle, and although they won the game by a score of 1-0, the process was more difficult than they expected, and in the final moments of the game, Liverpool almost completely retreated, and the Premier League leaders have never been so embarrassed.

……

Liverpool beat Blackburn Rovers 1-0 to reach the last four of the 2014/2015 English FA Cup.

It also means that Liverpool continue to move forward in the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League.

However, after the game, the media did not pay attention to Liverpool's win, and even the focus was not on Jiang Chenxi's nosebleed injury, Balotelli left the field with a red card at the beginning of the second half of the game, which made Fleet Street as excited as a shark smelling blood.

In his post-match press conference, Jurgen Klopp refused to discuss Balotelli's second yellow card.

However, the media will not let Liverpool and Balotelli go.

When Balotelli joined Liverpool, there was a constraint that was written into Balotelli's contract: the team asked him not to do anything that would affect the team's image, otherwise he would be punished.

The English media hyped that Liverpool had enough of Balotelli, and that the talented Italian goalscorer had only a few days ahead of him.

For Italian striker Balotelli, the past season has definitely been a season of rapid decline, after returning to England in a whole season in the Premier League only scored one goal, coupled with his perverse personality and lazy style on the field, the former "Super Mario" has become a hot potato, Liverpudlian can't shake it off in his hands, and other teams dare not take it, and Balotelli's career is about to enter a dead loop. This quick card eating incident will undoubtedly ignite Liverpool's anger again. —The Times.

Compared to a year ago, when he bought him from AC Milan for £15 million, Balotelli is now worth a lot of money, and Liverpool FC is even willing to sell it at a very low price in order to get rid of this burden...... Now there is finally a team that dares to take Balotelli. According to The Sun, Turkish club Trabzonspor are willing to accept the bad boy on the pitch, but only if "the price is fair".

……

Klopp has a headache, he admits Balotelli's talent, but Klopp is strict in governing the army, and the slightest laziness of the players will cause him unhappiness, let alone a troublemaker like Balotelli.

After the match with Blackburn, the Liverpool hierarchy and Balotelli's agent Raiola held urgent consultations, and the super agent refused to admit that there was a problem with his player, believing that the red card incident that occurred in the game with Blackburn Rovers was just a normal category on the pitch, and did not damage the image of the Liverpool club, and Liverpool could not punish Balotelli for this.

"Poof!" Jiang Chenxi was eating breakfast when he saw a report in the newspaper.

"Daily Mirror" broke the news that Balotelli slept with a Liverpool female fan, this female fan named Emma is a 23-year-old hot girl, she sent her private photos to Balotelli, and successfully hooked up with Balotelli, the female fan thought that her dream came true, but after some clouds and rain, Balotelli kicked her out of the door in the middle of the night, which made the female fan very hurt, and angrily exposed Balotelli's 'scumbag' face to the media.

Mario is finished!

Jiang Chenxi made a judgment that this 'scandal' is intolerable to Liverpool's top management before the red card incident has passed.

……

After arriving at the Melwood training base, everyone was also discussing the matter.

This incident even caused the dissatisfaction of many Liverpool veterans, including Gerrard, and it is clear that Balotelli's behavior is very inauthentic, let alone involving fans, although the female fan's motives for taking the initiative to approach Balotelli are not pure.

Balotelli was not present at Melwood Training Base for the day's training.

Assistant coach Kravitz announced the club's decision to punish Balotelli:

Decentralization of reserves.

In the case of Liverpool's third-line operation and the strength of the army is stretched, this penalty decision is enough to show the dissatisfaction of the Liverpool club management with the Italians.

Even, many players are secretly speculating that it may be difficult to see the Italian team-mate again in the first team in the future, and he has no future at Liverpool.

The atmosphere at Melwood's training base was solemn, and everyone could see that manager Klopp was in a bad mood, and the atmosphere of training that day was also very low.

At the critical moment of the second half of the league season, first Sterling's contract renewal problem, and then Balotelli's bullshit affair, Klopp's mood can be imagined.

……

A day later, the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

Liverpool host Schalke 04 at Anfield.

In a 5-0 first leg, Klopp made some rotation of the team.

Jiang Chenxi suffered a nose injury in the match with Blackburn, and the game was watched from the stands.

Philippe Coutinho and Jordan Henderson were also on the bench.

Schalke 04, who was almost certain to be out of the game early, played very actively in this game and took the initiative on the field.

In the end, Liverpool lost 2-3 at home in this game, which was also Liverpool's first home defeat this season.

However, although the loss, Klopp's mood is not bad, he was mentally prepared to lose at home when he chose to rotate, and now some of the main players have been rested, and this defeat has not prevented Liverpool from advancing to the quarterfinals of this season's Champions League with an aggregate score of 7:3, and in such an 'inconsequential' game to be broken at home unbeaten golden body, it can also relieve the psychological pressure of the players to a certain extent.

This is also Liverpool's second Champions League quarter-round after eight years.

……

On this Champions League matchday, the most eye-catching match was the match between Bayern Munich and Shakhtar Donetsk, with the Bundesliga South Kings, who were held to a 0-0 draw in the first leg by a snowy Ukraine, beat Shakhtar Donetsk 7-0 at home in the second leg to advance to the quarter-finals with an aggregate score of 7-0.

Coupled with Schalke 04's 3-2 defeat to Liverpool in the second leg, it also made the German media cheer.

A day later, the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals was completed and the quarter-finals of the 2014/2015 season were all decided.

All of a sudden, all eyes of the world were on Nyon, Switzerland, where the draw for the quarter-finals of the 2014/2015 Champions League season will take place.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
