After a year's absence, Liverpool are back in the European family, playing their first European game of the season on their home turf, against Portuguese Premier League side Sporting Lisbon.

Sporting Lisbon is a traditional Portuguese giant, alongside Porto and Benfica. However, the Portuguese league is a small European league, and there are only two places to participate in the Champions League, so even if Sporting Lisbon can finish third in the league, they still have to play in the Europa League. Not to mention that Sporting Lisbon only finished fifth in the league last season? I almost didn't even qualify for the Europa League.

In this group, perhaps Sporting Lisbon is the stronger team that can most threaten Liverpool.

Anderlecht is slightly inferior, and as for Slovenia's Grika, it is purely to play soy sauce and send points.

Liverpool will have to beat Sporting Lisbon at home to give them an advantage in qualifying from the group.

Liverpool is very interested in Sporting Lisbon, and Sporting Lisbon also has a fancy for Liverpool. After all, Liverpool have superstars like Steven Gerrard and Chen Yingxing, and Suarez and Sanchez can't be ignored.

In terms of strength, Liverpool are the strongest team in this group, followed by Sporting Lisbon, Anderlecht is slightly inferior and Glicka is the worst.

In addition, it is an away game again, so Sporting Lisbon's strategy is to defend and counterattack. If you have a chance, you will counterattack and score, and if you don't have a chance, you will resolutely defend it. Even if you don't score the last goal, as long as you can get a draw, you can get a draw. It's a good result away from home.

But if Sporting Lisbon draws, where will Liverpool's interests be placed?

Liverpool certainly can't afford to be held to a draw at home.

So in this game, Liverpool must attack and attack again!

"Hero!! Oh-oh-oh! Hero! ”

The old commentator at the Liverpool scene yelled excitedly.

He was just as excited as the tens of thousands of Liverpool fans at Anfield.

Everyone stood up from their seats, raised their arms and shouted, "Hero——!! ”

To be able to make them so excited, it is definitely not that Chen Yingying has a beautiful pass or something, but that he has scored a goal!

Just six minutes into the game, Chen Yingying opened the scoring for Liverpool!

"What a great start! Liverpool lead Sporting Lisbon by one goal at home! The hero seems to be in good shape today! ”

"I always think it's a loss for a hero to play in the Europa League, he should go to the Champions League. In the Europa League, he completely used a knife to kill chickens, and he was at ease in the Europa League! ”

After scoring the goal, Chen Yingying ran to the sidelines with open arms, and then pulled up the corner flag and waved it high in his hand.

His teammates soon ran up and surrounded him, cheering and celebrating the goal.

Martin. O'Neill applauded with a smile on his face, Chen Yingying was in such good shape and fighting spirit, which made him full of confidence in the team's group qualification.

He didn't know that Chen Yingying really scored so quickly because he not only wanted to help the team win the final championship, but also wanted to try his hand in the Europa League. Messi has scored eighteen goals in the Champions League, the Europa League is not as strong as the Champions League, and there are two more games – the Champions League group stage is after the round of 16, and the Europa League group stage is the round of 32 - so how can I score fewer goals than him?

Therefore, Chen Yingying intends to score goals crazy in the Europa League, surpassing Messi's eighteen goals, and he wants to show the whole Europe and the world that what Messi can do, I can also do, and do it better than him!

So he scored in the sixth minute of this game.

Sanchez's cross was not a particularly good chance, but Chen used his body to squeeze away the Sporting Lisbon defender who was defending him, and then smashed the ball into the goal with the headbone of his calf. An unconventional shot on goal, but it worked very well.

Chen Yingying's goal opened the door for Liverpool to win.

In the 59th minute, Steven Gerrard scored to extend the score to 2:0. Despite the 71st minute Sporting Lisbon striker Ricky. Wolfswinkel pulled a goal back for Lisbon.

But that still won't change their defeat.

In the 88th minute, Chen Yingying suddenly shot a cold arrow outside the penalty area, and the football flew into the lower right corner of the goal against the turf, scoring twice!

After the goal, Chen Yingying lifted the ball on his right side, revealing his strong thigh muscles, and then he made a bolt-pulling motion. It was a way to show off his powerful right leg, which he hit with his right foot from distance.

In the end, thanks to his two goals and one from Steven Gerrard, Liverpool beat the oncoming Sporting Lisbon 3-1 at their home stadium. Got himself off to a good start to the Europa League season.

There was no suspense at the other stadium, with Anderlecht of Belgium beating Glicka 2-0 at home. Now in the group standings, Liverpool has an advantage of scoring more goals than Anderlecht, beating the Belgian team and ranking first in the group.

After the game, Liverpool media praised Chen Yingxing's two goals for making Liverpool's voice heard again in Europe.

"The hero's brace is Liverpool's strongest sound on the European stage! He told Europe that the Red Army was back!! ”

Liverpool fans are also excited. It's only a Europa League, but it's better than not even having to play in the Europa League, right?

Last season, Manchester United and Manchester City were both eliminated from the Champions League to the Europa League, only to be eliminated in the first round of the knockout round. At the time, many fans of other teams in England were laughing at the two teams that were not well received. Liverpool fans don't, because they don't even have the right to laugh at others.

No matter what others say, those who have participated in the Champions League and Europa League have only been able to mess around in China.

Well, now the Liverpool fans are also a little bit of a raiser.

The most important thing is that the excellent performance in this first game has given Liverpool fans hope, and Liverpool may really have a drama this time?

After playing the Europa League, Liverpool only had two days of rest before welcoming the sixth round of the league ().

Liverpool travel to Southampton due to the proximity of the two games. Martin. O'Neill made a rotation and put a number of key players on the bench, including Chen Yingxing, and the result was that Liverpool were held to a 0-0 draw away from Southampton.

Although it ended a five-game winning streak, O'Neill was not heartbroken. In his post-match interview, he said that rotation is a must, because this season Liverpool are facing a two-line battle, and the team must rotate in order to distribute the fitness reasonably and not be exhausted before Christmas. He also said that there is no absolute main force in the team, and people like Chen Yingying can sit on the bench.

O'Neill is not perfunctory to the media, what he says is true. If the team does not rotate highly, I am afraid that even if the Europa League group qualifies, the situation in the league is not expected to be too good.

The top four in the league this season must be fought for, and in order to be able to finish in the top four in the league, the results in the first half of the league are very important. Even if we don't finish in the top four in the first half, we can't be too far behind in the top four.

In order to perform well on both fronts, it is necessary to rotate.

Some media also plan to provoke Chen Yingying and Martin. O'Neill's relationship with these media is basically from Manchester.

They thought to themselves that Chen Yingying had sat on the cold bench for a full ninety minutes in this game, and they must have been interested in Martin. O'Neill is very unhappy, so as long as they use words to provoke a little, maybe the relationship between the two will collapse. If the manager is not on the same page, Liverpool will not be able to threaten either Manchester City or Manchester United.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yingying said that it didn't matter if he was on the bench.

'Whether it's Kuyt or Krasnic, they're both very good players and I don't think I have to be the starter. Draw? We're just unlucky, not that the rotation policy is bad. ”

This answer surprised those reporters - when did Chen Yingying become so eloquent? You know, he used to have a very fucked temper......

How did they know that Chen Yingying didn't want to give up on the front line of the league and the Europa League, he wanted the top four in the league, and he also wanted the champion of the Europa League, since this was the case, he naturally had to agree with the head coach's rotation policy. After all, he also knows that rotation is a strategy that teams must adopt when facing multi-front battles.

Without rotation, the team will never go that far.

He definitely doesn't want his team to lose motivation and be eliminated from the knockout stages of the Europa League.

To that end, he also intends to instill in his team-mates in the dressing room that "the Europa League is very important and we need a trophy of enough weight to arouse the enthusiasm and hope of the fans...... And so on.

It is so that the teammates will not lose the motivation and fighting spirit of the game in the knockout stage of the Europa League.

The failure to sow discord was a disappointment to the media in Manchester.

However, the rotation policy has ended Liverpool's winning streak, which is also good news.

This is their first rotation of the season and it is clear that Liverpool are not quite comfortable with the rotation. Otherwise, they could have beaten Fulham on the road.

Now these media can only hope that Liverpool will continue to be so uncomfortable......

If you lose a few more games, maybe you will be under pressure. O'Neal will return the team to its pre-rotation form, desperately squeeze the main lineup, and then when it comes time for the Christmas schedule, it will completely collapse...... Even if you Chen Yingying is in good physical condition, in good health, you won't be exhausted, and you won't be injured, but you can't control other people, the other players in the Liverpool team are not iron-clad! ro！。
