370. Liverpool has its ups and downs

Qiu Ze didn't bother with these things, he is now preparing for the upcoming FA Cup.

The FA Cup has been going on for a long time, and now it's the third round of the game, and by the third round of the game, the Premier League teams are going to join in. The draw is out and Liverpool will play Reading in the Championship.

Liverpool's goal this season is to win everything they can win, so the FA Cup is naturally their goal. Now they are against Reading from the Championship and they will certainly want to win against them.

Benitez didn't have much special preparation for this game, and he was ready to use the rotation. Qiu Ze and Gerrard did not appear in the starting list in this game, and Qiu Ze was not even selected for the squad.

Qiu Ze's attendance rate in the Liverpool team is the highest player, especially recently, because of the injury of Gerrard and others, the burden of the Liverpool team has been on Qiu Ze's shoulders, Benitez knows that Qiu Ze can't be kept in attendance, otherwise one day Qiu Ze will not be able to persevere, let Qiu Ze rest now.

Liverpool are not strong opponents in this game, and Liverpool should be able to easily beat Reading. However, after the start of the game, Benitez's face changed, Reading was not as weak as they thought, on the contrary, the attack was still strong.

Reading's attack is still very sharp, and it has been suppressing Liverpool, Reading is very powerful at its home stadium, and Benitez's brows have been furrowed.

Finally, in the thirtieth minute of the first half, Liverpool's goal was breached, and Liverpool was behind Reading, which made Benitez feel very bad, he never thought that the game would be like this.

Benitez was very angry at this time, he came to the sidelines and shouted at the Liverpool players, so that the Liverpool players cheered up and did not underestimate the opponent. Qiu Ze, who was in front of the TV, was also very anxious when he saw such a situation.

At the end of the first half, Liverpool trailed Reading 1-0, which everyone expected.

At half-time, Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez was very dissatisfied with his team's performance, and he yelled at the Liverpool players, accusing them of not doing their best in the game, which made him very unhappy.

Benitez hopes that the Liverpool players will be in good spirits in the second half and not underestimate Reading. Only then did Benitez begin to lay out the tactics for the second half.

Reading's manager, on the other hand, was very pleased with his team's performance in the first half, praising his players' performance with enthusiasm and hoping that they would continue to do so in the second half to win the game.

In the second half, Reading's tactics were counter-attacking and they were hoping to defend solidly and maintain their current win.

The second half of the game started quickly, and the Liverpool players were mentally refreshed, which made Liverpool fans breathe a sigh of relief, and they firmly believed that such a Liverpool could be beaten.

At the beginning of the second half, the Liverpool team's attack was very sharp, surrounding the Reading team in their own half, and the Reading team saw the strength of the Liverpool team at this time. Liverpool's attack was like a storm, making it difficult for Reading to parry.

The Liverpool team's attack was very sharp, but the Reading team insisted on it for more than 30 minutes. Seeing that time is getting shorter and less, the players of the Liverpool team are very anxious, and Benitez is also nervous, is the Liverpool team going to lose in this first round of the FA Cup?

Just when the Liverpool fans were desperate, Gareth 61 Bale stepped up, Liverpool won a direct free kick in front, Gareth 61 Bale sent the ball directly into the Reading goal with a direct curling kick to equalize the score.

With Gareth's 61 bell Zuihou's goal-saving goal, Liverpool drew with Reading. The game ended immediately, and after the draw, there was no extra time, let alone a penalty shootout, and the two sides replayed on a later date.

This result made Benitez very uncomfortable, and the replay on a certain day showed that Liverpool still had to spend a bit of energy for this damn game, which could have been passed one game, but for one reason or another, Liverpool had to waste more energy, which is really bad.

The Liverpool team returned to Liverpool with a very bad result, and after returning to Liverpool, Benitez criticized the players of the Liverpool team harshly, and the Liverpool team also punished them with extra practice, three times a day, which is rare in England.

At this time, the players of the Liverpool team knew about Benitez's anger, and the players of the Liverpool team privately discussed the reason for Benitez's anger, but they were scared in their hearts, and they said that they must perform well in the next game, otherwise it will be over.

At the weekend, Liverpool return to home where they play Tottenham Hotspur, who are now sixth in the league. In this game, the Liverpool team held back a lot of energy, coupled with Qiu Ze's performance was very good, and finally the Liverpool team defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2-0.

Qiu Ze performed very well in this game, he scored twice, which made the Liverpool players thank Qiu Ze well, if there is no Qiu Ze, this game will be hanging.

In this round of matches, Arsenal was held to a 2-2 draw at home by Everton. And Manchester United was also drawn by Birmingham on the road, and Chelsea was also drawn by Hull City away from home, and Liverpool made a lot of money this round.

Liverpool continued to widen the gap with Chelsea, now Liverpool is 50 points, Chelsea is 46 points, Manchester United is 44 points, Arsenal is 41 points, this time Liverpool is four points ahead of Chelsea.

After this round, the rest of the teams will be rested, but Liverpool still have games to play in midweek and will host Reading at their home stadium in a replay of the third round of the FA Cup, after a 1-1 draw with Reading in the last game.

The draw in the last round by Reading made Liverpool lose a big shot, and this time Liverpool must win against their opponents. Before the game, Benitez repeatedly emphasized this game, Liverpool team can no longer drop the chain, Liverpool must not become a joke for England.

This time it was at his home stadium, the players of the Liverpool team were full of confidence, and Qiu Ze also did not start the game in this game, but this time he sat on the bench and was ready to save at any time, it seems that Benitez is still not at ease with the Liverpool players on the field.

Benitez's fears proved unfounded, though, as Liverpool scored in the fifth minute of the first half. It was Huntelaar who scored the goal, and he received a cross from Gareth 61 Bale on the wing to open the door for Liverpool.

In the thirtieth minute of the first half, Gareth 61 Bale broke through on the wing in succession, entered the penalty area, went to the meeting alone, and scored. In the two games with Reading, Gareth 61 Bell performed the best.

Liverpool were already 2-0 up in the first half, and at this point, Benitez was relieved. At half-time, Benitez did not praise the Liverpool players, who were afraid of pride.

After the start of the second half, the Liverpool team continued to attack, and they thought that Benitez was not satisfied with their performance in the first half, so they held back their strength and attacked frantically as soon as they came up.

In the fifteenth minute of the second half, Liverpool scored again. This time it was Arshavin who scored from a long shot into the corner of the penalty area to seal the victory for Liverpool.

However, the Liverpool players did not stop and continued to attack, scoring two more goals in the 30th and 39th minutes of the second half to give Liverpool a 5-0 win over Reading at their home stadium.

Benitez was happy with the result, but still lingered, and if they had beaten Reading in their opening game, they wouldn't have been so tired. However, the good thing is that Liverpool won the opponent and did not get eliminated, which is good.

This time, Liverpool's opponent in the next round of the FA Cup also came out, which was Burnley. Liverpool are lucky, the opponent is not very strong. However, Benitez is still not at ease, because they played Reading in two games, which Burnley does not seem to be having a good time.

In the weekend league, Liverpool played Stoke City away from home, and the strength of Stoke City was not good. Liverpool should have had an easy win over their opponents, however, Liverpool were held to a 1-1 draw by Stoke City away from home.

Maybe it's because of the excessive consumption in the middle of the week, after seeing this result, Benitez regretted it, regretted that Weishenme did not adjust early in the middle of the week, and the early adjustment would have allowed the Liverpool players to rest more.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine to take at this time. Benitez had to accept the draw, and he felt very uncomfortable.

In this round, Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal did not make another mistake. Chelsea beat Sunderland 7-2 at home stadium, which was so amazing that even Rafael Benitez was taken aback.

Manchester United may not be as beastly as Chelsea, but they are no small scoreline, with Manchester United beating Burnley 3-0 at Old Trafford. Arsenal also won comfortably 2-0 away at Bolton.

After 22 rounds of the Premier League, Liverpool are provisionally top of the table with 51 points, followed by Chelsea with 49 points, then Manchester United, who now have 47 points and Arsenal with 44 points.

This time, the difference between Liverpool and Chelsea is only two points, and Benitez has that regret in his heart, really, this is simply too remorseful. If he could do it all over again, Benitez would have planned to pull it earlier.

Next week, Liverpool will also have a double fixture, but next week's midweek Liverpool game will no longer be an FA Cup game or a Champions League game, but the first leg of the English League Cup semi-final.

The English League Cup is a two-legged home and away tie in the semi-finals, the only two-legged home and away tie in the Carabao Cup, with Liverpool facing the Red Devils Manchester United. And at the weekend, Liverpool take on Wolverhampton Wanderers away from home.

For the Carabao Cup Liverpool team is still very important, especially has come to a point, Liverpool team is of course impossible to give up, in the process of preparation, Benitez has been emphasizing that they must win this game.

The first leg was played at Liverpool's home stadium, and Liverpool must guarantee a win and not allow Manchester United to score away goals.

Manchester United, for their part, are also very serious about this game, and now that they are under the pressure of Liverpool and Chelsea in the league, it will be difficult for them to overtake them. If they don't win the league, they have to get it back from somewhere else, and they want to win the League Cup, FA Cup and Champions League.
