Volume 2 Chapter 69 The Champions League Begins

Near the end of March, Liverpool ushered in the first light rain of early spring, the drizzle fell on the streets and alleys, there were few pedestrians, the willow leaves wet the branches, the grass spit dewdrops, a warm spring picture slowly unfolded.

Although it rained, the weather was not gray, on the contrary, it was very refreshing, and next month, the UK will officially usher in the best season for tourism, which lasts until September.

In the living room, Mr. Mak, who was eating a sandwich, was watching the sports presenter who hadn't eaten breakfast toiling at work.

'Arsenal's March was a disaster, with Chelsea vs Arsenal last weekend at the same time as the Red Cross, and Chelsea won 2-1 at home to Arsenal thanks to a double win by Didier Drogba's Mel, leaving Arsenal with only one game left in March, but Arsenal have not tasted a win."

It only took four or five games for the former championship contenders to be completely reduced to the situation of protecting four, and Mark Qin felt sorry for them with a serious face.

Arsene Wenger, who was far away in London, had a sad face, and he didn't understand why the team was so strong before, and completely dropped the chain in March, as if he didn't touch any strong teams except Chelsea...... bar.

For a while, the shouts of the "soft" gunners were endless, and the current Professor Wen really didn't take the fourth place in his eyes as a kind of achievement, and he really thought that he had failed this season.

Therefore, once this person has been hungry for a long time, everything he eats is delicious, and Mackin feels that the original Liverpool is not much better, and it is to the point of starvation.

Knowing that this season's league is completely hopeless, Wenger has to turn his attention to the Champions League, and it will be a three-game match with Liverpool at the beginning of next month!

Coming back and seeing the video of Old Trafford, Wenger took another blow, and Liverpool after the New Year was the same as opening up, it was at Old Trafford, they won 4-1.

Mackqin's state made him feel terrified, and now he opened a newspaper casually, and without the news of this kid, he would lose.

"Liverpool's ascension to the throne" and "The Legend of the Theater of Dreams reappears", Mackin completely played the momentum of his first rookie under the age of 20 with this battle.

'Liverpool host Everton this weekend for their second Merseyside derby of the season......

The host on the TV was still not hungry, so Mark Qin stuffed the last bite into his mouth and packed up and went out.

A teenager with a light raincoat all over his body came out of the back door, got on the bike and began to run.

Because he was wearing a rain hat, buttoned windproof glasses, and a sports scarf around his mouth and nose, no one recognized him, but thought it was a sports teenager who came out on a rainy day.

He hadn't enjoyed pedaling in the rain for a long time, and he missed the fact that a touch of green galloped past Melwood on the still deserted road.

Left a figure of idiot.

……

"I've heard that Capello is coming," Gerrard told him as he changed his clothes in the dressing room.

Gerrard arrives very early every time the Merseyside derby is the week before, and the only one Benitez doesn't dare to rotate in this kind of game is Gerrard.

Needless to say, the Champions League is in three days' time, and the World Cup final is played the next day, and Gerrard must also play.

The two of them were chatting about Sir Charlton talking to him the night before, and they talked about Capello while chatting.

"He's a big coach, I hope to change the status quo of the England national team, play well in the 10-year World Cup, otherwise the pressure will be too much", Gerrard said depressedly.

There is a strange circle in England, that is, the results of star clubs are often a few streets behind the results of the national team.

They say that they are the first-class giants in Europe, except for the 66 World Cup, there are only a handful of shots in other major competitions, not to mention the finals, and there are few times when they enter the semi-finals.

Mackin hasn't been able to adapt to the transition from you to you all at once, but he has played half the game, and he can be regarded as stamped.

World cup! He found himself looking forward to it.

But what results did Capello lead the team to? He had almost forgotten that England really didn't have much of a presence.

"Don't worry, if you didn't suffer a wave of injuries in the European Cup, it would be no problem to enter the main match at that time", he told the truth without heart.

Gerard looked at him speechlessly, co-authored in your eyes, we are the three players in the main game, right?

"Haha", he quickly changed the subject.

"Steven, we're six points ahead now, and you're still insisting on playing this game?" , in other words, Mackin really didn't take a team like Everton too seriously, and it couldn't affect the overall situation.

Two of United's next seven games will be against Arsenal and Chelsea, and they now have a huge advantage in terms of points and fixtures.

In his opinion, the league champions will definitely not be able to run unless they die on their own, and it is rational to concentrate on the Champions League.

Gerald shook his head speechlessly, this baby's heart is starting to grow, too, isn't it the same when he is young.

'Mark, anyone can take a turn off, but I can't, unless I'm injured, it's the responsibility of the Liverpool captain,' Gerrard said, looking at him as he changed his clothes.

"If you can be captain one day, you have to do it too"

Mackin smiled, every club has its own game that you have to go all out, and everyone has their own persistence.

"But it's still going to be many years before I retire, so you can still rest this time and prepare for the Champions League, and I'm sure Benitez will do the same," Gerrard said with a laugh.

After the two had a conflict, Gerald never called Benitez the head, and Mackin got used to it.

"I really want to play in the Champions League more than I do play at Everton", said Mack Qin after closing the cabinet door, "and I don't have the physical strength of you, I can play continuously......"

Gerrard had the same expression I already knew, and the two walked to the training ground while chatting, and began to warm up with a short pass in the drizzle.

After a while, teammates and coaching staff arrived one after another, and the training atmosphere was relaxed.

The away victory over Manchester United removed a big rock in their hearts, nearly a dozen rounds of long-distance running for the championship, and the time span reached nearly four months, and it is fake not to be tired!

But they survived, and now no one but themselves could threaten their position anymore.

The two home and away games laid the foundation for their strong season, and if the first one made them ignite a fire in their hearts, they bravely launched an attack on the championship.

The second game is to make them completely confident, even Manchester United's home stadium we can attack, what else can stop us?

……

Weekend, Anfield.

"You'll never walk ...... alone", the song shook the sky, and the highlight of the round was going on on the pitch: the Merseyside derby.

The game lasted more than 30 minutes and the score was still 0-0, and most people didn't watch the derby in this game, although Everton are now sixth, which can be regarded as a strong conversation.

More people want to see if Liverpool can keep winning, whether they can win the title a few rounds in advance, or whether they will miss the horse.

The camera frequently showed Mackin and Torres on the bench, and the two main strikers were seated on the bench.

"Benitez was bold in this game, using a semi-rotation line-up, and now it looks like their attacking power has really affected a lot," Pietersen said from the commentary box.

'The absence of Fernando Torres and Mark really took away most of their attacking prowess and Liverpool didn't have a fluid combination today,' said McManaman.

'But they were on the bench and if it didn't open up in the second half, I'm sure Benitez would have replaced them.'

It seems that Gerrard is still right, Macqin did not play because of fitness problems, to stay for the Champions League, Torres is Benitez does not want to risk his bare feet and have any problems.

The two chatted lightly on the bench, and to be honest, even a draw now is not the end of the world, and Manchester United cannot afford to lose a point against Arsenal and Chelsea.

They are also fighting on two fronts, this is Benitez's confidence, after four years, he can finally have a luxury.

In the fifteenth minute of the second half, the score remained unchanged, everyone was anxious for Liverpool, and just when Benitez was almost unable to stand up, they finally knocked on the door of Everton, and Liverpool opened the scoring with a corner kick.

"Goal~al~al", Peterson shouted, "Liverpool have finally scored, if they do drop points in this game, Benitez will suffer a lot of criticism, fortunately luck has been on his side this season"

In the end, thanks to a missed kick from Kuyt's corner, Liverpool won a hard-fought 1-0 home win at home to Everton.

The other three won all, Manchester United beat Aston Villa 4-0, a 1-4 defeat to Liverpool, and Ferguson's team spirit is still strong.

Arsenal won 3-2 against Middlesbrough and finally stopped the slump of multiple rounds of winlessness.

Arsene Wenger breathed a sigh of relief, and the post-match interview cheered up the players by the way, "We were really in average form throughout March, but we found our rhythm in this game"

'After the Champions League, we will definitely be in the best form, we have two home games first, we have the advantage in the schedule, Liverpool need to play on two fronts, it is difficult for them to do ......both.

When asked about this question after the game, he smiled and said: "Yes, they really don't need to think about the league because they have lost that qualification, any game is the same for us, try to win"

……

At the beginning of April, the Champions League was rekindled, and Liverpool ushered in three consecutive games with Arsenal in a week.

Macqin doesn't know if other people will vomit, anyway, if he really plays the same opponent three times in a row, he will definitely vomit.

The Times: The battle for the best midfielder begins.

The Guardian: The Champions League and Premier League quarterfinals have begun.

Although Mark plays in the forward position, he is more of an attacking midfielder, while Cesc Fabregas is the absolute heart of Arsenal's midfield, and the performance of both of them will greatly affect the success or failure of the team.

His conversation with Cristiano Ronaldo on the pitch made the media addicted, and Manchester United's fiasco also affected Ronaldo's reputation to a certain extent, proving that even in the Premier League, there are still people who can challenge his status.

It also stimulated Cristiano Ronaldo to score twice in the last league game, and Mackin is now on the rise, beating Cristiano Ronaldo with a perfect performance away from home, and if he can also beat Cesc Fabregas in such a direct conversation, he will be on the rise.

What's more, Mackin is still thinking about the top scorer in the Champions League......

Sorry for the late update! Let's talk about the reason: Because the chapter I wrote last night was deleted, and it involved a small plot, the author felt bad today, and it was useless, and this chapter came back at night to rewrite it, crying to death.
