Liverpool aren't a strong team, at least not this season.

In the league, Liverpool's performance is a long way from being strong.

Last season they even finished fifth in the league and didn't even win a Champions League spot!

This season's Champions League is also thanks to the opening of the UEFA network.

It can be said that Liverpool's Champions League title was won at the expense of the league.

You must know that the performance of the league is the foundation of the football club, and Liverpool's approach is really not a giant's temperament.

Last season was not very good, and Liverpool's performance this season is not strong either.

Now in the league, Liverpool are only in third place.

What's more, Liverpool's points are narrowly surpassed by Manchester United, and more importantly, the points are far from Chelsea!

With such a big gap, as long as Chelsea does not make a big mistake on their own, it is impossible for Liverpool to win the league title this season.

Considering Rafael Benitez has only just become Liverpool's manager, it will take some time to revamp Liverpool in the style of Houllier.

It can be said that the current Liverpool, similar to Barcelona last season, is in a critical period of transformation.

However, Liverpool does not want Barcelona to be a members-based club, and there is no owner with a deep pocket, so it is not so easy to get through this transition period.

At least, Barcelona completed the transformation in one season.

Spending a lot of money to buy Zhuo Cunzhi, Eto'o and Deco, the effect is quite obvious.

Now, after a season of cooperation, the tacit understanding between several superstars has been improved by more than a notch!

Even Real Madrid, which is also full of superstars, is now beaten by Barcelona and is powerless!

It can be said that in this game, against Liverpool in transition, Barcelona has no possibility of failure!

However, in the first home game, Rijkaard put on a rather conservative formation.

It is still a 433 formation, with the front trident of Ronaldo, Samuel Eto'o and Zhuo Cunzhi, and the back of which is Valdés, Van Bronckhorst, Puyol, Marquez and Belletti, and the key is in the midfield.

Deco had no problem starting, but Edmilson and Van Bommel were also starters!

Xavi didn't start, and Rijkaard came up with two more defensive-minded midfielders!

This is the Camp Nou, the home of Barcelona!

Rijkaard's cautious set-up really hit the fans' mood a bit.

However, Zhuo Cunzhi can clearly find that after the head coach announced the starting formation, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

Among them, even Samuel Eto'o, who has just returned.

"I've been eliminated from the Africa Cup of Nations, and now I can't afford to lose the Champions League!" Eto'o clenched his fists, "It's better to be conservative, Liverpool have a strong midfield. ”

Zhuo Cunzhi returned to the Chinese national team and played a World Cup qualifier with Saudi Arabia, and won 2:1.

The overall strength is slightly better than Saudi Arabia, but the level of Zhuo Cunzhi has exceeded the limit of Asia.

In this game, Zhuo Cunzhi first assisted Shao Jiayi to open the scoring, and finally laid the victory with a killer goal.

I have to say that Zhuo Cunzhi used all his strength in this game!

Even so, the Chinese team only narrowly defeated Saudi Arabia.

You must know that when there is no Zhuo Cunzhi, the strength of the two sides is almost at the same level.

It can be seen that in a football team composed of 11 people, there is a limit to what one person can do and what he can do.

Even a supergiant like Zhuo Cunzhi can't do too much.

The same can be said for Samuel Eto'o, who is probably the best player in Africa at the moment.

However, Cameroon is not very strong, and in this Africa Cup of Nations, Cameroon led by him was eliminated in the quarterfinals!

That's why Eto'o was able to come back so quickly.

In a sense, maybe that's a good thing?

“…… But then you can't score more goals. Zhuo Cunzhi spread his hands.

"The most important thing is to win." Eto'o said earnestly.

“…… I don't think we have to be so nervous. Zhuo Cunzhi said with a smile, "There is a big gap between Liverpool and our strength. ”

'I thought the same thing about last season's Champions League final. Eto'o recalled.

"At that time, objectively speaking, the biggest reason for being overturned was because of physical problems." Zhuo Cunzhi shook his head, "Now we don't have such a problem. ”

Without waiting for Eto'o to refute, Zhuo Cunzhi preemptively said: "Besides, Liverpool's lineup, there is still a big problem. ”

The midfield combination of Steven Gerrard, Marcos Alonso and Garcia looked extraordinary.

But apart from the midfield, neither the risk nor the back line is comparable to Barcelona.

The only ones worth mentioning are Spanish goalkeeper Reina and Finnish central defender Hyypia.

Among them, Hypia is 33 years old and has entered a period of decline.

Now the core of the Reds' defense has been slowly handed over to the vice-captain Carragher.

As a player cultivated by the academy, Carragher has enough strength and qualifications.

However, compared to Barcelona, and especially to Puyol, he is still a little bit less interesting.

In the England national team, he has also been unable to compete with John Terry and Rio Ferdinand in the central defender position.

It can be said that he is a star central defender, but he is still a notch away from a superstar.

More important, of course, is the defense of Liverpool's two wings.

"Reese? Finnan? Traore? Zhuo Cunzhi shook his head as he spoke, "These people are not my opponents and Xiao Luo's. ”

Finnan and Riser are at a decent level, similar to Barcelona's Belletti and Van Bronckhorst.

But for Zhuo Cunzhi and Xiao Luo, it is a little dwarfed.

Liverpool, on the other hand, do not have a strong attacker on the wing.

Garcia's performance in the Champions League last season was impressive, but this season, when everyone knows him better, Garcia's performance has dropped a lot.

He was named in the Champions League Team of the Year last season, but this season he has lost that possibility.

"There's no chance we're going to lose." Zhuo Cunzhi said categorically.

Eto'o didn't reply, just shook his head.

“…… I feel like you've lost a game, and you've all been beaten to the point of losing confidence. Seeing Eto'o turn away, Zhuo Cunzhi couldn't help but shake his head.

In the team, everyone behaved very cautiously.

But externally, the Barcelona players have repeatedly expressed their belief in "winning".

You can't afford to lose in terms of momentum and the Barcelona players are well aware of that.

The feeling to outsiders is that Barcelona is full of confidence in winning this game!

It wasn't until the day of the game that the fans knew that there was a deviation in the facts-

"The Barcelona players seem to be nervous?" Di Wei asked suspiciously.

"It's hard to say if they're nervous, but I can see that their expressions are stiff." Duan Huo replied.

"It seems that the outcome of this game is hard to say." Still struggling with the latest chapter you can't find? Amway One or search for Hot/Degree/Net/Article "Remember to remove "/"Otherwise you won't be able to search", here is a young lady to help you find books and accompany you to chat!
