After Liu Ting scored a goal, Sunderland still didn't look like they wanted to fight back, they still had a defensive posture, it seemed that they wanted to wait for the midfield manager to adjust, so the score of 1:0 was maintained to the midfield.

At halftime, Heynckes has nothing to adjust, after all, the advantage of the field is too obvious, and the opponent doesn't seem to have much ability to resist, at most he pays attention to the opponent's counterattack.

Sunderland didn't press out at the start of the second half, with Liverpool continuing to dominate the game and quickly extending the scoreline.

In the 57th minute, Liu Ting received a pass from Gerrard in the penalty area on the left side, Sunderland goalkeeper Flopp wanted to come out to collect the ball but took the ball away, Modric, who was originally inserted into the penalty area to receive the ball and shoot, did not let go of this good opportunity, facing the ball not far in front of him, he stabbed the ball into the net with a supplementary shot.

"Modric!! It's him again!! He's been in great form lately, and he broke through the door of Real Madrid a week ago, I think Heynckes is going to have a headache, Gerrard has recovered from injury, Modric is in great shape, and when Torres comes back soon, I don't know how he should arrange the start, should Kuyt be replaced to play 442? ”

The British commentator is trying to figure out a way for Heynckes, and Heynckes also has a bit of a headache, Gerrard is the soul of Liverpool's team, and it is impossible to let him be substituted if his body is fine. Although Modric has the ability, he is always a newcomer, and it is okay to let him sit on the bench for a few games, but if he does not get many opportunities to play for a long time, he will definitely want to move away.

Hey, I can only take one step at a time.

Modric's goal reassured fans for the time being, and it was safer to lead by two goals, at least Liverpool would not be equalized immediately if the opponent scored a goal unexpectedly.

Sunderland, who was in the middle of the standings, had no desire, and it was not until the 70th minute that they began to replace the striker and wanted to fight, but Liverpool did not give them a chance, and Heynckes began to replace defenders one after another, to get the three points in his hands steadily, so that Liverpool could get out of the predicament of losing points one after another.

In the 76th minute, Cisse also got the chance to play, and when he came on, he also received applause from some Liverpool fans, and his two years at Liverpool can be regarded as a contribution, if it were not for the successive major injuries, his career would not have stopped there.

Interestingly, Heynckes also replaced Modric with Zheng Zhi in the 82nd minute, and Cisse and Zheng Zhi competed together again after three years, I don't know if the two have any feelings.

Liverpool beat Sunderland cleanly 2-0 at home to halt the slide in the table.

Among the other giants in this round, Manchester United reversed Newcastle United 2:1 away, and Newcastle led Manchester United at home in just 9 minutes of the opening game, but unfortunately it was reversed by Manchester United in the second half, and Kevin Keegan lost to Ferguson again.

Newcastle United's long-term relegation zone after losing 5-1 at home to Liverpool in the first half of the season led to a change of manager for Newcastle management, and Kevin Keegan then took over, but it still looks like Newcastle United have not been able to get out of the relegation zone, and Kevin Keegan also lost to Ferguson again.

Chelsea's 1-0 win away at Portsmouth was still three points clear of Liverpool.

Arsenal defeated promoted Masi Bromwich Albion 3-1 away, finally getting rid of the shame of drawing and not scoring. Arsenal has been 0:0 in four consecutive league games before, and if this is another 0:0, Arsenal will become the first team in the history of the English league to win five consecutive rounds of 0:0 in the league, and I believe Arsenal fans will not like such a record.

For the next week, Liverpool can prepare for the Champions League and Real Madrid matches.

The teams in other leagues have a league in the middle, such as Liverpool's opponent Real Madrid has a Madrid derby with Atletico Madrid in the middle, and the Premier League schedule is that there is an FA Cup quarterfinals in the middle, but Liverpool has been eliminated and can prepare for the Champions League with peace of mind.

UEFA recently released its latest European points, with Liverpool surpassing AC Milan to the top of the table with the last week's away win over Real Madrid, becoming the club with the highest points in Europe.

AC Milan reached the Champions League final three times in five years from 03 to 07 and won the championship twice, and occupied the top of the European standings for a long time, but AC Milan failed to qualify for the Champions League last season, and this season can only participate in the Europa League, and it was eliminated in the top 32 of the Europa League, or it was deliberately abandoned because it did not want to play in the Europa League, in short, it is now surpassed by Liverpool in European points.

Among the top ten European points, the four giants of the Premier League occupy four seats, AC Milan and Inter Milan in Serie A are shortlisted, La Liga Barcelona and Sevilla are in the top ten, Real Madrid has fallen out of the top ten for many years, Sevilla has squeezed into the top ten with a lot of points in the Europa League, and the other two seats are occupied by Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga and Lyon in Ligue 1.

The Champions League is approaching, and only Bayern Munich has secured the first leg of the round of 16, while the other teams still need to fight for the second leg.

Real Madrid's 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid in the Madrid derby may be good news for Liverpool.

In the quarterfinals of the FA Cup, the three giants other than Liverpool all advanced to the semi-finals, and the remaining one was Aston Villa. At first glance, it is giving the professor an assist.

With the Champions League coming, the major media will naturally provoke a war of words, especially the English media and the Italian media, who made the theme of the round of 16 the Premier League against Serie A?

Soon, some media summed up the war of words between Britain and Italy from the first round to the present:

1, the British media kept saying that Italians just like to fake falls, while Chelsea's beast striker Drogba kept falling on the pitch like intermittent plague attacks;

2. The Italian media keep criticizing the Premier League as a group of leagues that rely on foreign owners, foreign coaches and foreign aid, in fact, as the representative of Serie A, you can't see an Italian on the bench of Inter Milan;

3. The countries that have the upper hand in the three matches will declare that they are the best league, playing the best football, and in fact Spain occupies the first place in the league European points ranking and national team rankings;

4. Whoever wins the match between Arsenal and Roma will be described as a representative of beautiful football art football, while the loser will be labeled as flashy and useless art football;

5. British fans will chant 'you old Italian devils who love to fake falls' during the game, and Italian fans will respond with 'you English drunks', once there is a conflict outside the stadium, British fans will smash all the bars where they can drink, and Italian fans will throw firecrackers at the British on small motorcycles;

6, Cristiano Ronaldo claims that he is better than Pele and Maradona, but will not say that he is better than Ronal;

7. Lampard only needs to shoot from distance in front of the penalty area to get a UEFA-sanctioned goal, even if the ball has been deflected eight times before the goal;

8. The British media accused Italy of the level of law and order in the 19th century, while the Italian media accused British fans of always drinking and making trouble.

Well, there is a lot of saliva in the Anglo-Italian media war, but Liverpool is playing against Real Madrid, and it is not involved in it for the time being.

Real Madrid arrived in Liverpool a day early to settle in and the reporters were happy.

Pepe was the first to come out and say: "The next game is different from the first leg, I don't think Liverpool will defend at home as much as they did at the Bernabeu, we have a chance, we have to take advantage of that." ”

In the first leg, Heynckes arranged an away defense-oriented, which was basically a defensive counterattack, and Heynckes would have been satisfied with a 0:0 game, but he didn't expect the game to be over Modric scored a goal.

Real Madrid captain Raul also needs to come out and speak, Raul was criticized for his poor performance in the first leg, but he still has to find Raul if there are difficulties.

Now that the former president of Real Madrid, Calderón, has resigned, the new chairman has not yet been elected, there is only one acting president, the team is in turmoil, Raul needs to stand up and speak: "About ten years ago, Real Madrid completed a great game at Old Trafford, we drew 0-0 at home, we came to England but beat Manchester United 3-2 away to advance, and finally won the Champions League that year, that game will give us passion and courage, we can replicate the feat of the last time, we can repeat the magic, We're going to play a game that doesn't disappoint the fans who support us. ”

In fact, Raul's last sentence is already a bit of a 'even if we lose, we have to stand and lose', wanting to play a result that is still glorious despite defeat, such as the draw away to Liverpool.

Raul was talking about the 99/00 Champions League knockout tie against Manchester United, which also scored twice at Old Trafford.

Real Madrid manager Juan de Ramos said: "We have a psychological advantage in terms of our all-time record against Premier League teams. ”

Real Madrid have met England once in the group stage and four knockout rounds in the Champions League so far.

The group stage was in the same group as Leeds United in the 00/01 season, Real Madrid beat Leeds United to qualify first in the group, but Leeds United appeared second in the group and reached the Champions League semi-finals that year, winning the names of the White Roses and the Young Guards.

In the knockout round, Real Madrid has met Premier League teams three times in four times, Manchester United has been eliminated by Real Madrid twice, and only Arsenal has eliminated Real Madrid in the knockout round in the Premier League, but he forgot that Real Madrid also met an English team in the Champions League final.

Liu Ting said in front of reporters: "If you compare history, Liverpool's record against Real Madrid is a 100% win. ”

Real Madrid is the most Champions League winner of the Champions League 9 times, Liverpool is the third most Champions League winner of the 5 Champions League, but the two teams have only one short meeting, that is, the 80/81 Champions League final, Liverpool defeated Real Madrid 1-0, that is also the only two Real Madrid in the final but did not win the title, and now this is Liverpool's second Champions League encounter Real Madrid.
