Keep going, maybe next time it's the Ballon d'Or, the World Footballer of the Year, it's really possible!
For the Champions League group draw, the Liverpool players don't have much to say; Although the draw is a bit unfavorable for Liverpool, but it is not to the real group of death, breaking through from the group is still very confident for Liverpool, perhaps that is, Dortmund can threaten Liverpool's position, and they have a chance to grab the first place in the group with Liverpool.
Now I am concerned about the upcoming European Super Cup.
For Chelsea, Liverpool can be said to be more familiar; Chelsea this season will certainly not be underestimated, as Jose Mourinho has returned to Stamford Bridge after leading Chelsea to the top, and because Chelsea themselves have plenty of squad depth.
This opponent is not only Liverpool's opponent in the UEFA Super Cup, but also Liverpool's main rival in the league and possibly even in the Champions League.
The new season, the new manager, and the lineup are a little new; It's good to play against such a Chelsea, and it doesn't hurt to get familiar with this opponent.
Chelsea's squad is goalkeeper Petr Cech; Ivanovic, Cahill, Luiz and Ashley Cole lined up at the back; Double-backed Ramirez and Frank Lampard; midfielders three Schurrle, Oscar and Eden Hazard; Golden boy Torres at the top.
4-2-3-1, Chelsea are quite cautious, they have enough depth in midfield, they are still very afraid of Liverpool's attack. These people are also well aware that although many people think that Liverpool's forwards are holding the team back, if Liverpool do not attack, then they will not be able to win the league title and win the Champions League.
You still need to be careful in this game, although Suarez was banned in the league, but the league and UEFA matches are parallel, and the league ban will not affect UEFA games; There won't be a UEFA Super Cup, neither will the Champions League, and Chelsea are likely to face the strongest Liverpool in this game.
Indeed, Liverpool were almost at their best in this game.
goalkeeper Qin Lang, Johnson, Ag, Toure and Enrique on the back line; The midfield duo is Lucas, Steven Gerrard, Philippe Coutinho and Christian Eriksen; Twin strikers Sturridge and Suarez.
The historical feud between the two teams is not very deep, but it is certain that there may not be a pleasant and friendly atmosphere between the two teams; Because they all want to compete for the title, because they are quite competitive teams.
With both Liverpool and Chelsea looking to prove that they are the best teams, it is only natural that they will not be as friendly as the other competitive ones.
And it has something to do with Suarez, who was in the final game of the league last season because of an itchy mouth, which not only caused Suarez to be overwhelmingly criticized, but also heavily punished.
It's not that the enemies are very angry when they see each other, but it's estimated that it's about the same; Anyway, there is a little grudge, and this is all about wanting to win the championship, this game will definitely be quite intense and exciting.
The two teams started the game with the initiative and they played wide open.
It didn't take long for Liverpool to press all over the line, and Suarez, who had been suppressed for a long time, received Eriksen's pass and turned and volleyed slightly wide according to Cahill. David Luiz then rubbed with Sturridge with his hand movements as he fought for position.
Less than three minutes into the game, a quality shot was struck and the players of both teams were seen to make a little move.
The smell of gunpowder is still fierce, because both teams have a strong desire to win; This game has to be won and they all want to bring home the trophy.
Liverpool were a bit strong after the start but the Chelsea players definitely didn't think they would be suppressed, they didn't even need to adjust because it wasn't that hard to beat Liverpool at all, and that's what the Chelsea players thought.
In the eighth minute, Hazard dribbled in the middle circle; Gerrard rushed over as soon as he could, stopped the ball and accelerated sharply, and Hazard used his speed to break through Gerrard, who was starting to get old; Lucas stepped in but Hazard only changed direction slightly before stabbing the ball forward.
Liverpool's midfield defense was suddenly breached, and after attracting the attention of the defence, Hazard distributed the ball to the right side, Schurrle crossed from the side, Torres chested the ball near the penalty spot, and faced Toure who pounced, the golden boy's light push made Toure's movements appear brave and dexterous.
Although Liverpool's defense line was completely torn apart, it did not make the Liverpool players panic at all, and Qin Lang!
There really is no need to be nervous, Qin Lang sees all this in his eyes; Eden Hazard's breakthrough was beautiful, Schurrle's low cross was incisive, and Torres' push was creative.
It's just that all this is in Qin Lang's control, and the back line does not give other Chelsea players a chance to respond and make up shots; Torres, who only had a chance to shoot, did not have the time and opportunity to adjust, and his push shot was beautiful, but Qin Lang domineering took the ball directly into his arms with one hand.
Chelsea might be able to make good breaks, precise passes, and they might be able to put in a good shot; However, for Chelsea, they also have a big threat, that is, they have to face the huge pressure brought by Qin Lang.
Maybe Qin Lang is just a goalkeeper, and Qin Lang rarely has the opportunity to cause much trouble for Chelsea in the offensive end; But Qin Lang's defense is too depressing, and it is too difficult and demoralizing to break through the goal guarded by Qin Lang!
The blow to Chelsea continues, not only because Liverpool has the iron wall arranged by Qin Lang, but also because Liverpool needs to be afraid of Liverpool's strong attack in the offensive end.
It's a bit offensive and defensive balanced, and Liverpool no longer feels like the previous two seasons as strong in defense and weak in attack; Although Liverpool does have some areas to improve in attack, it has to be admitted that Liverpool has continued to improve, they are constantly developing, and they are getting better and better.
Liverpool controlled the tempo, and Chelsea slowed down with Liverpool's tempo; The two teams played each other for fifteen minutes after the opening kick-off, and then temporarily withdrew the game.
However, in Qin Lang's eyes, the initiative of the game is constantly deflecting towards Liverpool's side, and Qin Lang believes that if this rhythm continues, Chelsea will definitely be dragged to death.
The team is now somewhat moving towards a technical flow team, and Liverpool's passing and cutting combinations are very fluid at the moment. As long as Chelsea's formation is pulled out of the gap, it will be Liverpool's chance.
Sure enough, the opportunity came.
In the 22nd minute, Eriksen played a right-footed shot into the far corner from the edge of the penalty area with Sturridge, and Cech made a sideways pounce to seal the ball off the line. With a missed hit, Liverpool continued to drag the tempo; It wasn't until the 27th minute that Suarez got rid of Ramirez and fired straight past Cahill just wide of the far post.
Chelsea then counter-attacked with a quick serve, and Torres turned and fired a right-footed volley from inside the box, but the ball flew off the line.
The tempo was now entirely on Liverpool's side, and just after half an hour of the game, Philippe Coutinho latched on to Eriksen's cross and fired a shot that Cahill blocked with his body. Three minutes later, Eriksen's left-footed shot from the ball was deflected off the line and Petr Cech saved it from the side.
This time Chelsea have been in front of goal, and they have encountered a strong threat from Liverpool on several occasions, and they have almost been broken again and again.
Even all this is a bit tepid, Liverpool boiled frogs in warm water, and unconsciously Liverpool firmly controlled the midfield, and whether the game was fast-paced or played was according to Liverpool's meaning.
Jose Mourinho is clearly aware of some of the awkwardness of his team, and he is aware of some threats in his team.
Adjustments have to be made, and Liverpool can't be allowed to dictate the tempo like that; If you want to say that Chelsea are better at tactics, defensive counterattacks are really one.
Since the team has put on a lineup with two backs, it can't let these two backs lose their effect; At this time, don't think about winning the championship right away, or make sure not to concede a goal. Once the goal is lost, it is basically the championship side, because it is difficult to equalize the score if you lose the ball first, who makes Liverpool in front of the goal Qin Lang!
The first half of the game was over, and the fans at the scene complained a little; The first half was a bit tepid for most of the first half, but in the final stages of the first half, Liverpool finally got violent, and as a result, Chelsea shrank, what else is there to say!
Although the score of 0-0 in the first half was a little disappointing, Qin Lang and his teammates didn't really care too much; Naturally, because the team's performance in the first half can be summed up as 'remarkable', Liverpool actually occupied a certain initiative in the first half of the game.
With the initiative in hand and tactics played, Qin Lang and his teammates naturally had no reason to be dissatisfied with the game; We haven't scored yet, but with a little patience, the goal may be coming soon.
In this Super Cup, it is natural that Liverpool wants to win the championship; It's just for such a slightly chicken cup competition, Liverpool will not really have a bloody battle with Chelsea's bayonets, after all, Liverpool will start to compete with rival Manchester United in the league after this game, and Liverpool can't consume too much at this time.
Chelsea's players may feel the same way, and it's only natural to go all out for the title; It's not worth it to fight for this championship trophy at all costs.
This is at most a league-level competition, at least Qin Lang didn't see that the players on both sides were fighting very fiercely.
The two teams will definitely fight it out in the second half, and it certainly doesn't hurt for Liverpool to force one on.
The game restarted, and Liverpool was still tepidly controlling the ball; And the corners of Qin Lang's mouth unconsciously showed a smile, he knew that the opportunity for Liverpool had come.
Eriksen scurried down the flanks and made a sharp breakthrough catch the Chelsea defenders off guard; The formation was torn apart, and Eriksen's sudden acceleration disrupted Chelsea's defence.
Eriksen suddenly crossed, and at this time, Chelsea, which was originally a little difficult to echo, was in chaos again; Ramirez made a fierce save, but he lost his position and he was cut straight through by Gerrard.
The Liverpool captain shoots his foot in front of the penalty line, a sign of the Liverpool flag; A long-range shot headed straight for goal, and Blues goalkeeper Petr Cech struggled to his feet, his fingertips touching the ball but it still sinked into the net!
1-0, Liverpool broke the deadlock at the beginning of the second half, and Liverpool was a big step closer to bringing the UEFA Super Cup back to Liverpool!
Gerrard was celebrating wildly, and the goal was a good reason for Gerrard to celebrate; He knows it's hard to be in great form for long and he knows he wants to lead his team to league titles and maybe it's their last chance.
And now that he can score goals, and can help the team bring the title with his goals, Gerrard has too many reasons to feel excited; Even if this UEFA Super Cup is a bit of a chicken rib, but it's still a championship trophy, which is a pretty good lottery!
Qin Lang is also very happy, no one will think that there are many champions, in fact, Qin Lang won the European Super Cup for the first time; Although he won the Champions League at Bayern, he only came to Liverpool after winning the Champions League, which is also the first time Qin Lang has stood on the stage of the European Super Cup.
This time, there will be one more championship medal in his collection room, even if the gold content of this medal is not particularly sufficient, it doesn't matter, because this is a champion, a champion who has not won before!
However, Qin Lang knows very well that he can't take it lightly now, and he can't celebrate wildly now; The Chelsea players are certainly aware of the challenge and they know it will not be easy to score the equaliser, but they are absolutely unwilling to give up and can try to get it.
As for Liverpool's players, they are at ease, and this European Super Cup is basically decided; There wasn't much suspense at all, unless Chelsea could score two goals in a row in the next few minutes, it would be basically impossible.
Even if Chelsea were to score a goal, it would basically be a penalty shootout; That's a tragedy, Chelsea was killed by Qin Lang in a penalty shootout in the FA Cup final a year ago, if it happens again, the Blues will really collapse, and it is better to lose than to play a penalty shootout!
Chelsea want to take the Super Cup, it's basically impossible!
