339. Shift the center of gravity of the game
2-1, Qiu Ze scored twice to help Liverpool exceed the score again.
Arsenal fans were in a very bad mood at this time, they really didn't expect the game to be like this. They can't accept this result, and they must win this game. And Arsenal's manager Arsene Wenger could not accept the strength, and he immediately deployed his troops in the hope of saving the defeat.
In the following games, the Arsenal players worked very hard and worked very hard, but they still failed to score. Of course, after taking a 2-1 lead, Liverpool were left behind and they didn't score again.
In the end, Liverpool won the game with a 2-1 win at the Emirates Stadium and advanced to the next round of the League Cup.
The next round of fixtures is the quarter-finals of the English League Cup, and after the match between Liverpool and Arsenal, the quarter-finals of this season's English League Cup have been fully born, they are Manchester giants Manchester United Manchester City, then Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Portsmouth, Blackburn, Aston Villa and Liverpool.
Then the quarter-finals also came up, with Portsmouth taking on Aston Villa, Manchester United against Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City against Liverpool and Blackburn against Chelsea.
Liverpool fans are happy that they have taken another step forward in the English League Cup. Arsenal fans, on the other hand, are very dissatisfied, believing that the winner of this game should be theirs, and they should be the champions of Zuihou.
Arsenal manager Arsène 61 Wenger was also very dissatisfied, saying in the post-match press conference: "I am personally very dissatisfied with the result of this game, because the victory of this game should actually belong to us. At some point, we had turned the tide and the scales of victory were already tilting in our favour, but at some point the referee was the protagonist of the game and he decided the course of the game. ”
Arsène 61 Arsène Wenger expressed his dissatisfaction with the referee: "At that time, Vermaelen may have committed a foul, but the place of the foul was obviously not in the box, it was definitely not a penalty. Later we watched the slow-motion replay and it was even more illustrated, it wasn't a penalty. I really don't know how the referee at the time saw that it was a penalty. ”
Arsène 61 Arsene Wenger was very dissatisfied, he also said: "I am very unhappy with this game, I think we were treated unfairly. We're preparing the materials now, and we'll definitely do that after the game, definitely. ”
After the game, the referee of the game was naturally sought after by the media reporters, everyone interviewed them one after another, asked his opinion, the referee said: "I don't think my decision was wrong, I saw it clearly, the ball was indeed a penalty, Chris fell in the penalty area at the time, and the place of the foul was also in the penalty area, there is no dispute." ”
Journalists also mentioned that Arsene Wenger was going to appeal, and the referee of the match was not surprised: "There are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand readers. In fact, the sentence is the same, a thousand people will have a thousand opinions, and it is normal for Mr. Wenger to have his own thoughts. But I still stand by my opinion, it was definitely a penalty and I have a lot of confidence in myself. ”
Of course, Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez was also interviewed by reporters after the game, and he said: "I don't have anything to say about that penalty, there's no problem with that. I believe the referee made the right decision. I'm still very happy with the game, although there were some ups and downs. ”
Qiu Ze said: "Whether this ball is a penalty or not, this is not my decision, of course, it is not Mr. Wenger's decision, let alone the referee's decision, this is the facts, you can go back and watch the slow motion, I believe that everyone will get their own answer." ”
Although Liverpool's recent form has not been very good, they can still win Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal in this situation, which makes all the media reporters excited.
Now the media reporters are reporting and praising the Liverpool team, and they are even about to praise the Liverpool team as a cosmic team. In their opinion, Liverpool have dominated the Premier League, and this season Liverpool will definitely implement a three-in-a-row hegemony in the Premier League.
The media in England are very excited right now, and now they are talking about the Liverpool team the most. The Liverpool team has now become one of the hottest terms in England, and the Liverpool team is about to become popular.
Now Liverpool are preparing for a league game at the weekend, in which Qiu Ze will not be able to play because he is suspended for a red card. However, Liverpool fans are not at all worried about this game, and they believe that Liverpool will be able to win the game easily.
Liverpool went to face Fulham away at the weekend, although there was no Qiu Ze, but Liverpool is still a super team, and Fulham certainly has no way to compete with Liverpool. However, the result of the game was a big surprise for everyone, as Liverpool lost 3-1 away to Fulham for their second Premier League defeat of the season.
The result of this game was really beyond everyone's expectations, and everyone did not expect that Liverpool would be so miserable and lose to Fulham.
Of course, this is the reason for the Champions League clash with Liverpool in midweek, and Liverpool have reservations in this game. But even the reserved Liverpool team is not something that Fulham can easily beat, which makes the media reporters very surprised.
After the game, the media reporters interviewed the Liverpool team personnel, and the Liverpool manager Benitez was of course the most interviewed, Benitez said: "I really didn't expect the game to be so difficult, really. It was more than I expected, but of course it was mainly because we weren't prepared enough and put too much energy into the Champions League next week. ”
Qiu Ze of the Liverpool team is also the object of media reporters, Qiu Ze said in an interview with media reporters: "I really didn't expect the result of this game, I watched this game in front of the TV at the time, we did not perform well enough, I think everyone is too tired." ”
Qiu Ze also said: "However, this is not the end of Shijie, the league is still very long, and it is reasonable to lose one or two games." Of course, we Liverpool can't win all of them and win the league and lose one or two games, it's all within the acceptable range. ”
Qiu Ze added: "Now our focus has to shift from the league to the UEFA Champions League, and now the UEFA Champions League has reached the most critical moment, we have to make sure that we qualify for the Champions League and then come back to the league. ”
Yes, as Qiu Ze said, all the energy of the Liverpool team is now focused on the Champions League. Now, Liverpool have reached an existential critical moment, and they can't afford to be careless.
Now in the league, although Liverpool lost in this round of games, they are still in first place in the league with 29 points, and they have a goal difference advantage over Chelsea, who are in second place. Arsenal and Manchester United are tied on 25 points and are third to fourth.
Now Liverpool is still in first place in the league, it still looks good, the position is very good, and the league should not have too many problems. Now it is mainly a question of the Champions League, which is now halfway through the group stage, but Liverpool have only won one and lost two of their first three games, and have only won three points and are third in the group.
The group leader now is, of course, Lyon, who beat Liverpool in the last round. Lyon now have nine points from three wins, and Fiorentina are naturally in second place with two wins from three games, with six points.
Now it is an existential moment for the Liverpool team, if the Liverpool team wants to qualify from the group, each of the next three games is very important, if the Liverpool team wants to ensure that they qualify from the group, they must win all the next three games.
However, in the first leg, Liverpool lost to Fiorentina and also lost to Lyon, and it will not be easy for Liverpool to win from these two teams.
In the next round of games, Liverpool will go away to play the current top-ranked Lyon team, which forced Liverpool into such an embarrassing situation in the last round of the game with a 2-1 away victory over Liverpool.
Now Liverpool are definitely looking to get out of the group, and they will certainly hope to win the next three games. This time I went to challenge Lyon away, and Liverpool definitely had only one goal, and that was to win.
Lyon, on the other hand, are in a very good situation right now, and it can be said that they have one foot in the last 16 of the Champions League, and if they win the next three rounds, they will be basically safe.
Now Lyon are very keen to get out of the group as soon as possible, because the more they drag to the back, the more energy they will expend in the Champions League, which is not particularly good news for their league.
Now Lyon will be hoping they can finish Liverpool on their home turf as they did in the previous leg, so they can take the initiative completely into their hands. Of course, they also know that it will be miserable.
The strength of the Liverpool team is very strong, which Lyon team has learned. However, they still want to win, and Lyon themselves are very confident that they can beat the damn Liverpool.
Liverpool are very serious about this game and it is a very important game for them and they have to win this game. So Liverpool flew to France two days ahead of schedule and they had to prepare well for this game.
