278. Against Boca Juniors

The draw for the "Audi Cup" has long since ended, Liverpool did not draw their rivals Rossoneri, but drew Boca Juniors in South America, while Bayern played against the Rossoneri, Liverpool had good luck, and Boca Juniors should be the worst of these teams.

However, even so, the Liverpool team will not underestimate the opponent, because the current Liverpool team is not the Liverpool team in the strongest period, and now the Liverpool team is adapting to the new tactics, so it is difficult to say whether the Liverpool team can win this game.

Boca Juniors was founded on April 3, 1905, and its base is located in the most scenic Boca district of Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina. The first players to arrive at the River Liaquelo were named "Boca" (meaning estuary) for this reason.

She is one of the most famous clubs in Argentina and a football giant known as Shijie. She is yet to play the likes of Maradona, Caniggia, Batistuta, Veron, Palermo, Riquelme and Carlos Tevez.

The most famous superstars in the Boca Juniors team are of course Riquelme and Palermo, although both are very old, their strength and fame are still there, and Riquelme has only returned to Argentina from European football for a long time.

The players of the Liverpool team are still very clear about Riquelme's strength, so this game is not as easy to play as the outside media thinks.

The match between Liverpool and Boca Juniors was the opening match of the inaugural Audi Cup, and about half an hour after their match, the match between hosts Bayern Munich and the Rossoneri would officially begin.

Two days before the start of the Audi Cup, the Liverpool team left Gelsenkirchen and flew to Munich, where they began to prepare for the upcoming Audi Cup. Liverpool are arguably the latest of the four to arrive in Munich.

Bayern Munich was the first to arrive here because they had been waiting in Munich for a long time. Then there is the Boca Juniors team in South America, perhaps because the road is relatively far, so they flew to Munich in advance, after all, people have to adapt to the climate or something.

The Rossoneri came to Munich half a day earlier than Liverpool, and the Rossoneri lost Kaka this season, but so far they have not made a decent transfer, which makes Rossoneri fans anxious.

However, at this time, there are rumors that the Rossoneri are now frantically chasing David 61 Villa and David 61 Silva, and the situation of these two people in Valencia is really very bad, very bad, after sending Kaka away, the Rossoneri have taken a fancy to these two.

However, it will be very difficult for the Rossoneri to bring in these two stars, after all, even Spain's Real Madrid and Barcelona have not been able to poach successfully, what can you Rossoneri Weishenme poach?

David 61 Villa said before the summer transfer door opened, he is very eager to join Real Madrid, and Real Madrid also intends to introduce the local goalscorer, but Valencia is dead, just don't sell it?

In this way, Real Madrid has not been able to succeed. In Qiu Ze's memory, he knows that David 61 Silva transferred to Manchester City, and David 61 Villa went to Barcelona, of course, not this summer.

Therefore, it seems that this summer, the Rossoneri are likely to have a bamboo basket to draw water.

After coming to Munich, the Liverpool team was warmly welcomed, and there were actually a lot of Liverpool fans who came to Munich, Germany to watch the Liverpool team's warm-up game, and these Liverpool fans were simply too hardcore.

To be honest, the specifications of this warm-up match are very high, just look at the opponents of these warm-up matches, you will know what Bayern Munich, Rossoneri and Boca Juniors are, which is equivalent to a game at the level of the Champions League.

Of course, it mainly depends on what kind of form and attitude each team has to play this game, if they really play this warm-up game with the attitude of playing the Champions League, the standard of this warm-up game is simply too high.

In the past two days in Munich, the training of the Liverpool team has been very relaxed, and it can be seen that Benitez still hopes to get good results in this competition.

On July 29, the first matchday of the "Audi Cup" arrived, and the first match was played against Boca Juniors.

The "Audi Cup" is a four-team tournament with a relatively simple format, with only two games to play in each team. First of all, this first game is equivalent to the semi-finals, whoever wins, who advances to the final, goes to compete for the championship, and the two losing teams directly compete for third place.

Because the "Audi Cup" is a commercial competition, it is held by Audi, and the nature of this competition is as if Audi invited these four teams to perform a commercial performance for them to celebrate the centenary of their "Audi brand".

These four teams all have money, but it all depends on the team's results, and the bonuses from first place to fourth place are very different. So, of course, these four teams are also very keen to win the championship, and who doesn't want more money?

It was a winner-or-lose game and Liverpool were very careful to prepare for it, they didn't want to lose to Boca Juniors right out and go straight for that damn third place.

Before the game, Liverpool's manager Rafael Benitez made it clear to the Liverpool players that Liverpool must win today's game, and they must win beautifully, and he hopes that the players can play their new tactics.

The Liverpool players are also very confident about this game, who are they? They are the favourites for the UEFA Champions League title this season.

Soon it was time for the game, with Liverpool and Boca Juniors arriving at the pitch almost at the same time, while the other two teams did not, and their game was two hours later than the Liverpool and Boca Juniors.

In today's game, Liverpool's manager Rafael Benitez played with the main force, with a 4231 formation, with Spaniard Reyna in the goalkeeper position and Glenn 61 Johnson, Carragher, Skrtel and Joel Luca in the back four.

In the double midfield position are Gerrard and Mascherano, and in the front three position are Maxi 61 Rodriguez, Qiu Ze and Arshavin, because Kuyt was injured in the previous game, so today Maxi 61 Rodriguez started.

At the top is of course Spain's striker Fernando 61 Torres, who is a main squad for Liverpool in the new season.

Boca Juniors, on the other hand, have a four-four-two formation, with Abondancheri in goalkeeper, Lopez, Rodriguez, Batagria and Nova in the back four, and Soto, Diaz, Riquelme and Insua in the midfield. The two up front were Forin and Palermo.

At the beginning of the match, first of all, Boca Juniors kicked off, Boca Juniors attacked as soon as they came up, and this is the case with South American teams, they are a group of footballers who prefer to attack. However, Boca Juniors' attack was not reckless, as they both sent the ball to Riquelme's feet and let him organise the attack.

Riquelme is the core of the midfield of the Argentine national team, this guy's strength is very good, Qiu Ze has a large part of his energy to defend this guy today, and Gerrard is going to carry the banner of attack today.

Riquelme has a very good range of movement in the midfield, and Qiu Ze must work hard to defend him, otherwise, the Boca youth team will be really difficult to deal with.

After the start of the game, Riquelme was very active, this guy has him in the front and back, he is like the midfield operator of Boca Juniors, the whole team is running under his combing, running very smoothly.

Looking at Riquelme's way of playing, Qiu Ze is also impressed, here Quelme is really a master on the football field, a typical classical striker. Looking at the way this guy plays, Qiu Ze himself can't help but pay more attention to this guy's way of passing and receiving the ball, and some things that he runs in position.

Qiu Ze felt that Riquelme had something to learn from him. At this moment, Boca Juniors midfielder Riquelme suddenly sent a long ball over the top, and the football flew directly to the side, Boca Juniors' full-back Insua quickly stepped forward, past Liverpool full-back Joel Luca, and then unloaded the football and sent a direct cross from the wing.

The football flew into the Liverpool penalty area, and the Liverpool central defenders jumped up to fight for the ball. However, the football was snatched up by Boca Juniors' striker Palermo, who was still good despite his age.

It is said that until now, there are European teams willing to bring in this very old striker, but unfortunately Palermo is reluctant to go out, so this guy is playing at Boca Juniors.

With a bang, Palermo's head slammed into the football, and the ball immediately shot at the Liverpool goal like a cannonball, and the ball was so fast that all the fans at the scene couldn't help but stand up at once, staring at the football tightly.

On the sidelines, Liverpool's head coach Benitez couldn't help but sigh at the ability of this guy Palermo, this is really an excellent center forward, if he is a few years younger, he Benitez will definitely bring him to the Liverpool team without hesitation.

Syllable! Liverpool's goalkeeper Reina's reaction was very timely, he directly made a sideways pounce, saved the football from the bottom line, and the Liverpool team escaped.

Fortunately, this time there was Reina, who was very focused, and he made a judgment in advance, which blocked Palermo's header. If Reina's reaction had been a little slower, Liverpool would have breached.

Corner, Boca Juniors won the first corner since the start of the game.
