"Oh yes...... toast to the old and new captains", a football match is playing in the noisy bar, and the open door always brings in a cold wind and snow.

"F**K, how many times have I said, don't go in and out during the game", a drinker immediately scolded.

This year's Liverpool is exceptionally cold, just arrived at the end of November, the first light snow of early winter rarely drifted, and the whole weather was gloomy, making people have no desire to go out.

Many outdoor workers in Liverpool are part-time workers at this time, and their biggest hobbies are to nest in bars, drink, watch football, and talk about women.

"Haha, I'll just say we're going to win, how can the damn farmer stop our two captains, Judy, serve me wine", a big man wiped the foam from his beard and shouted at the bar.

Sitting on the edge of the bar, a woman with heavy makeup chewing gum glanced at him, picked up a tray and placed a large draft beer on the tray and walked over.

"Haha, this is a tip", the big man rolled a bill and stuffed it into Judy's furious furrow, and wiped it along the way.

"Smack", the bubble from the woman's mouth burst, glanced at the big man with disdain, and turned to leave.

"Haha, that's a lot of energy"

"Huh", the drinker next to him immediately whistled and coaxed, "Don't take Mark's goal to rub Judy's oil, haha"

"Fuck off, if you want to use me and use Gerrard's, Mark has only scored one goal in these rounds, so I'm thankful"

After losing to Tottenham Hotspur and drawing with Atletico Madrid at the beginning of the month, Liverpool played three more league games and a League Cup this month, winning and drawing well, but fortunately did not lose.

"Bastard, how dare you look down on Mark?" , a young man next to him asked angrily.

"Easy, easy, man, he's just kidding, there's no one in Liverpool who doesn't like Mark," explains the old patron of the bar next to him.

"That's it, Mark is now the first in the assist list, he is responsible for assists in these games, and the Jay team is responsible for scoring goals, invincible"

They were talking about Liverpool vs West Bromwich Albion, with Mack scoring a brace and Gerrard scoring a hat-trick to win 3-0.

Then they sent League One side Rotherham home with a clean 2-0 in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup, but their luck in winning streaks so far did not seem to be strong, and then they played Bolton Wanderers 0-0 away.

On TV, Mack happily ran to the sidelines to celebrate with the fans, this game against Fulham, he and Gerrard assisted each other, both made a pass and a shot, and beat Fulham 2:1 at home.

"Mark, a beautiful back-up shot into the far corner, Anfield denied the Farmers a point to take away from them as they beat Fulham in the 89th minute," shouted Jan from the commentary box.

"With the winter break approaching, they have risen to eighth place and Liverpool are slowly reclaiming their rightful place"

'Mark also scored his fourth goal in the league and Steven Gerrard's goal has risen to seven, closely followed by Cristiano Ronaldo and Nicolas Anelka, with Liverpool's new and old captains carrying it forward tenaciously.

Gerrard broke out in November last year, and this year it's like that, it's weird, but sometimes players are like that, there's an inexplicable time curse.

For example, Kane of Tottenham Hotspur later had weak legs and no harvest in October, and God couldn't find the reason.

Mack is at the top of the assist list with six assists, and it seems that this year's scorer and assist list are not as strong as last year's.

Cristiano Ronaldo in last year's scorer list and Cesc Fabregas in the assist list are basically desperate existences, but this year they are generally relatively flat, and the gap is not so big, which may have something to do with the fact that summer is a big year.

……

Three days later, it was still Anfield, the dressing room.

11.27 Home vs Marseille, Champions League qualifier for life and death.

12.02 Home vs West Ham, League 15th round.

12.04 Away vs Derby County, EFL Cup Round 5.

12.06 Away v Blackburn Rovers, round 16 of the league.

12.10 Away vs PSV Eindhoven, final round of Champions League group.

12.13 Home vs Hull City, Round 17 of the league.

"This season, starts today!"

Mackin looked at the blank space on the tactical board, only a large blank piece of paper was pasted on it, and the Liverpool crowd came out under the leadership of Gerrard.

Everyone knows the importance of today's game! , lost, they said goodbye to the Champions League!

Marseille are their old rivals in the Champions League, and this time last year, also at Anfield, also against Marseille, Mackin scored his first goal in the Champions League.

"This opponent is Mark's lucky star, Liverpool did not perform in the first three rounds of the Champions League group stage last year, but they won three in a row in the second three rounds," said Peterson and McManaman as they analyzed the game after the commentary.

"We saw Fernando [Torres] also in the stands," said Maika, "and it is said that he will be able to return early around Christmas, and it will be difficult for him to accept that he will be eliminated from the Champions League when he returns"

"Liverpool, win", "Liverpool, win"

Still in the players' tunnel, the neat cheering outside the field can be heard clearly, and the players of the two teams have serious expressions and do not squint, waiting for the entry of the game.

It's a battle that both teams have to win, and whoever emerges victorious has the right to keep going.

Compared with last year, the lineup of the Marseille team has been changed by half, and Liverpool's old man Cendon has also been reduced from the main team to the substitute.

In today's game, Skrtel on the back line officially returned, and the team's deputy Carragher sat on the bench, and his form after his return was really not good enough.

Liverpool were in full force today, with the exception of Cahill, who replaced Carragher, who was younger and quicker to follow down the flanks.

With the classic singing of the Champions League over, the referee made a gesture to the captains of both teams, and the players officially entered.

"Okay, the game is about to start, Zhang will guide you to analyze it first," Zhan Jun said.

Zhang Lu nodded towards the camera, and the live broadcast screen played a picture-in-picture, "Today's game is very important, whoever wins can basically be said to have advanced to the knockout round, and the first position in the group of Atletico Madrid is basically unshakable"

Zhan Jun continued: "Liverpool are in good form in the league, especially Mackin and Gerrard, who have been in good form for the past two months, let's see if they can lead Liverpool through difficulties again"

Makqin stood behind the centre circle and straightened out his shorts, waiting for the game to start, as it was written on a blank sheet of paper in the dressing room, the season is only now in earnest.

This season they have been more tired than ever, the clock is still grinding their bodies, and now, they have encountered a key level.

Step past it, and it's another sky.

……

"......Boom, let's get through the storm ...... together" in the buzzing stadium heralded the official start of this crucial Group D match.

Every time he plays at Anfield, Mackin feels immensely motivated, and even though he had just played a game three days ago, he was full of energy as the pitch got hot.

Both Ejere and Sami Lee stood straight on the sidelines, and it was a game that could not be taken lightly for a minute or second.

Looking down over the stadium, red poured into Marseille's half like a tidal wave, trying to burn the blue to ashes.

From the first minute, the game went into bayonet red!

Skrtel's comeback can not only liberate Cahill, but also liberate Liverpool's right side, and with Cahill's ability to chase back, he can boldly press in the midfield.

Carragher is still more suitable to play at centre-back.

'Liverpool started the game with a high press, they tried to take the initiative from the start,' Peterson commented as the crowd cheered and cheered.

Egere was also taken aback, Liverpool have rarely played so imposingly this season, and he quickly shouted loudly into the field: "Steady, don't panic"

Liverpool have never lacked the courage to fully engage in attack, but they have stumbled and lacked personnel this season.

As the core, Mackin and the coaching staff must be in the dark, dormant, waiting for the moment when the conditions are ready.

Now it doesn't matter what their bench is: Cavalieri, Carragher, Aurelio, Bruno, Lucas, Valle, Voronin.

The main lineup on the field is in the middle and backfield, they are no less than any team, just wait for the forward knife Torres to return to its place, it is they who take off, start!

Mack Qin and Alonso directly pressed the half, after a small half of the season running-in, Alonso has slowly adapted to the cooperation with Mackqin, once against Manchester United shine in the magic quartet.

The base is still there!

"Mandanda, under the pressure of Kuyt, Skrtel, the iron guard in the army, is also an air tyrant, with him, Liverpool no longer has to worry about air defense" Zhan Jun's commentary passion also became active with the momentum shown by Liverpool at the beginning.

Alonso pads the ball to the next Macklin, who directly pinched the instep of his foot, and the ball flew to the right, and Cahill inserted a direct push.

That's where the full-back comes in, a very mobile full-back who is crucial to the midfield play.

Gerrard didn't stop the ball and dropped his left foot back to Alonso, and Liverpool's run was like a tide.

Mackin did not pick up again, protected by Mascherano and confident Alonso would play the ball to the left.

Sure enough, Enrique cut in very high, because Liela had already pushed into the box, and Enrique was a winger when he attacked.

"Enrique, a little header, gave it to Mackin who came to pick up, quickly stepped forward, and Liverpool's transfer of these feet was quite smooth," Zhang Lu said.

Xie Lu had already run over, and Ma Qin leaned back and let go, without pausing at all, turning around and picking up his right foot.

The ball flew up from the left midfielder and headed straight for the right side of the penalty area, which is their usual combination lately.

With a gust of wind, Gerrard went straight into the penalty area.

Two quick left-right dispatches made Marseille's backline have no time to move their center of gravity and were torn apart.

"Gerald!" Zhan Jun shouted, although the angle was not big, he still saw Gerrard pick up his thigh, smack, and volley on the ball.

He's been shooting super well lately, with a strong desire to shoot and confidence.

"Volley ......", the ball is like a white light, ferocious straight to the top corner of the near post.

Even in slow motion, that's a kind of extreme speed!

"Duang", a pop, Mandanda didn't have time to fully straighten his arm, just touched it lightly, slightly changing the direction of the ball.

It slammed into the crossbar and bounced towards the far post.

"And, also, Lila, he got the ball outside the line of the small penalty area, with Zubar on his back, and Makqin came up......"

"Lelaleila!" , Makqin shouted.

Liela feigned a pass, but with a buckle on the outside of his instep, he volleyed directly with his left foot from a small angle, "Wow", and hit the side-netting.

"Pass the ball!" , Ma Qin was furious, what a good opportunity just now, he angrily threw his arm.

Liela also knew that it was a bit of a loss, and made an apologetic gesture to walk back, and Mark Qin exhaled fiercely.

"Macqin seems to be very dissatisfied with Liella's handling in the big penalty area, and he seems to be ......angry just now", Zhan Jun looked at the live broadcast signal and said, "It was a better choice to pass the ball just now"

It's not that Makqin is angry with Lila, after all, everyone eats this bowl of rice, but such an important game, wasting opportunities, he really can't suppress the fire in his heart......

It's like shit, I haven't scored a goal in half a season, and I like to shoot so much!
