368. Back at the top of the league table
After the win over Wigan Athletic, Liverpool remain second in the league and maintain their very good momentum.
At this time, there is more and more publicity about this year's European Footballer of the Year, and now most of the media believe that this year's European Footballer of the Year is Messi, of course, Qiu Ze and Cristiano 61 Ronaldo's names are also widely mentioned.
Recently, suddenly some media jumped out to sing the opposite, they believe that Qiu Ze is this year's European Footballer of the Year winner, they think that in this year, Qiu Ze's performance is better than Messi, which seems to have suddenly reborn the suspense of the European Footballer of the Year award.
During this time, Qiu Ze didn't pay attention to these, he is now focusing all his attention on the game, in fact, in Qiu Ze's heart, he knows that he should not win the award, the media is so hyped now, just to create a topic for the European Golden Globe Awards and attract attention.
In the 18th round of the league, Liverpool played Portsmouth away, and Qiu Ze performed as well as ever, helping the team to win 2-0 and continue to put pressure on Chelsea.
Manchester United lost 3-0 at Lehm, Chelsea were held to a 1-1 draw at West Ham and Arsenal won comfortably 3-0 at home.
After 18 rounds, Chelsea and Liverpool are tied on 41 points, but Liverpool have the advantage in the win-loss relationship, and Liverpool immediately overtook Chelsea to return to the top of the league table, much to the excitement of Liverpool fans. Chelsea, on the other hand, were sadly ousted by Liverpool and finished second in the league.
Manchester United lost and are still third in the league with 37 points, while Arsenal are fourth in the league with 35 points. Aston Villa also have 35 points, but in goal difference, Arsenal have the advantage. Tottenham Hotspur are sixth with 33 points.
After this round, Christmas is just around the corner. The Liverpool players were very sad, and they had a game on the second night of Christmas, which was really sad.
And at this time, the French magazine "French Football" published this year's European Footballer of the Year winner on their official website, and it was not surprising that it was won by Barcelona's Argentine Leo 61 Messi.
In second place is Liverpool's Qiu Ze, and in third place is Cristiano 61 Ronaldo of former Manchester United and Real Madrid. In fourth place is Barcelona's Xavi, fifth is Barcelona's Andres Iniesta, sixth is Liverpool's Fernando 61 Torres, seventh is Manchester United's Wayne Rooney, eighth is Inter Milan's Samuel Eto'o, ninth is Barcelona's Ibrahimovic, and tenth is Chelsea's Frank Lampard.
The distance between Qiu Ze and Messi is still a bit large, just from the votes. However, everyone knows that the gap between them is not so big at all.
Knowing that this was the result, Qiu Ze was of course very disappointed, although he had expected it before. But when he learned that he was not elected, he was still not as free and easy as he expected. However, Qiu Ze still agrees with this result, and Messi has indeed performed very well in this year.
However, Cristiano 61 Ronaldo is very satisfied, after the result, Cristiano 61 Ronaldo immediately became angry and expressed his dissatisfaction in front of reporters, he didn't think Messi deserved this award at all, let alone admit that he was worse than Qiu Ze.
In fact, before and before, Cristiano 61 Ronaldo already had a premonition that he would not be able to win this award, and he also thought that it would be Messi who would win the award as the media said. If he can barely accept this, he can't accept that he is worse than Qiu Ze at all.
In Cristiano 61 Ronaldo's opinion, even if he doesn't win the award, he should be ranked second, and he is definitely better than Qiu Ze. In this year, he is the best player, and Qiu Ze does not deserve to be compared with him at all.
Last season, Manchester United reached the final of the Champions League, but what about Liverpool? They are only in the semi-finals, and if the results of the Champions League are to be judged, then he will be better than Qiu Ze, and he will perform better than Qiu Ze.
If the UEFA Champions League results are not the mark of the decision, then Messi should not have won the award, and it should be him Cristiano 61 Ronaldo.
Cristiano 61 Ronaldo was very dissatisfied and questioned the organizing committee and the selection judges. Of course, Cristiano 61 Ronaldo's agent, Portuguese giant agent Jorge 61 Mendes, is also very satisfied, and he stands up to criticize these damn guys, express his dissatisfaction, and seek justice for his players.
At the same time, Jorge 61 Mendes' head coach Jose 61 Mourinho also stood up to express his dissatisfaction, and he also believes that the award should be Cristiano 61 Ronaldo, even if it is not Cristiano 61 Ronaldo, Cristiano 61 Ronaldo should also be ranked second.
During this time, Cristiano 61 Ronaldo made a lot of trouble, because La Liga has entered the winter break, and he has nothing to do all day, so he found such a play to brush his sense of existence.
And Qiu Ze doesn't have so much leisure to fix these vain things, and now they can't even have a good Christmas, so they still have the heart to fix these things. The Liverpool team is indeed very busy, and Adele 61 Lu is also busy, and he can't come back for Christmas.
Qiu Ze and the Liverpool players just had a Christmas party at the home of team captain Steven Gerrard. The next day, Qiu Ze and others went into the 19th round of the English Premier League.
It is said that at this time, the staff of "French Football" sent many camera crews to Argentina and Spain to shoot some promotional videos for this year's European Footballer of the Year, and to interview Messi's childhood friends or something.
After winning this European Footballer of the Year, Messi has stepped into the ranks of Shijie's top stars, and even now someone is pressing the title of "King of the Ball" on Messi's head. This naturally makes Cristiano 61 Ronaldo very dissatisfied, but he doesn't care about this, and now, he is preparing for this 19th round of the game.
In the nineteenth round of the league, Liverpool will face Wolves at their home stadium. However, this match is the last game of the round. The opening game of this round was kicked off by Chelsea, who took on Birmingham City away from home.
It stands to reason that Chelsea should be able to easily beat their opponents Birmingham City in this round, but at this time, Chelsea made an undeserved mistake and they were held to a 0-0 draw away from home by underdogs Birmingham.
It seems that the Chelsea team has been affected by Christmas, and the Chelsea players have put too much energy into the festive season, which is why they made such a low-level mistake at such an important juncture.
It is said that after the game, Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti was furious and scolded the Chelsea players to the blood. Ancelotti is a coach who rarely gets angry, and this guy is so hot, which shows that he is really angry and angry.
Chelsea stumbled, and this is a good opportunity for Liverpool to extend their results and open up the difference. Benitez took this very seriously, and before the game, he kept emphasizing the importance of this game, which they only had one goal, and that was to win.
Benitez also reminded the Liverpool players that this game must not be like Chelsea, this is a good opportunity given to Liverpool, and if they don't take advantage of this great opportunity, it will definitely be damned.
The Liverpool players are also taking this game very seriously, and they will also want to use this game to open up the gap between them and Chelsea.
At this time, Qiu Ze was glad that the players of the Liverpool team did not overplay last night, otherwise such a chance would have been missed.
In this game, the Liverpool team lined up with a full lineup, Carragher and Gerrard both returned to the starting lineup, Qiu Ze also started, Huntelaar still replaced Fernando 61 Torres, and the Spanish striker was still recovering from injuries in Spain at this time.
After the start of the game, the Liverpool team's offensive was very fierce, they were like hungry tigers, crazy to kill the Wolves, and at this time the Wolves were really not as powerful as their team name, they had completely become wolf cubs, and they had no backhand.
At the end of the first half, although the Liverpool team did not score, everyone could see that the Liverpool team scored sooner or later. At the beginning of the second half, Gerrard, who had been absent for a long time, opened the door to victory for Liverpool and scored with a heavy shot.
After the goal, Liverpool were even more ferocious. However, at some point, Wolves also took the opportunity to launch two very good counter-attack opportunities. However, the Wolves striker did not take advantage of the opportunity and did not even score a single goal.
Wasted opportunities are punished, and that seems to be the true saying on the football pitch.
Wolves once again verified this sentence, and in the 26th minute of the second half, Qiu Ze sent a wonderful pass to assist Huntelaar to score, helping Liverpool expand the score and completely establish the victory.
Huntelaar did a good job, coming in with a series of goals, which seemed to make Liverpool fans forget the existence of Spanish striker Fernando 61 Torres.
In the end, Liverpool didn't miss out on the opportunity as they won 2-0 at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers to get the three points they wanted.
At the same time as the match between Liverpool and Wolves ended, the match between Manchester United and Arsenal also ended. Manchester United beat Stoke City 2-0 at home stadium, while Arsenal beat Aston Villa, who were level on points on their home turf, 3-0.
At the end of the round, Liverpool seized the opportunity to open up the gap between them and Chelsea, who are now top of the league with 44 points. Chelsea are second in the league with 42 points, Manchester United are third with 40 points and Arsenal are fourth with 38 points. Aston Villa are fifth with 35 points and Tottenham Hotspur are sixth with 34.
