The penultimate round of the Champions League group, this round is very important for the four teams in A's loan, and this round of matches is a big event for them to qualify from the group.

By this time, every team in this group has hopes of qualifying, and every team is in danger of being eliminated, so this round of games will be the most crucial round of Group A, and at this time, no one wants to be left behind.

This round is Liverpool's home game Porto, Marseille's away game Betaxis, Liverpool has now been pushed to the edge of the cliff, they must win, at this time, some of Liverpool's famous names have stood up to cheer for Liverpool.

Former Liverpool star Barnes said: "Liverpool always have a chance to explode in the face of adversity, I am confident they can still make it out of the group and Porto will not be able to stop the Reds. ”

Liverpool's King Dalglish also stepped up and said: "Liverpool is not as simple as you think. Liverpool are always going to give amazing things when everyone thinks they don't have a chance, and I'm sure the Reds have that quality right now. ”

Former Liverpool star Michael 61 Owen also stood up and said: "The Reds are a very strong team, now is not the end of Shijie, I believe the Reds can take advantage of the victory to chase and change the current situation and let them advance to the next stage." ”

Former Liverpool player Fowler also stepped forward and said: "I believe in Liverpool because Liverpool's blood is red. They are always not afraid of difficulties, and they always strive to move forward. I believe that this time they will succeed as well. ”

And many England celebrities have also stood up in solidarity with Liverpool, and former England star Lineker said in an interview with the media: "Wow! Red army! The exciting Red Army is back, and I believe that this week has something to look at. ”

BBC radio commentator John 61 Mortensen also stood up and said: "Liverpool have been in excellent form lately and we have reason to believe that Liverpool can do miracles because they can always do miracles!" ”

These celebrities in England are strongly supporting Liverpool, but the media in England are reminding the Liverpool team not to underestimate the Portuguese team. In 2004, Porto beat Manchester United at Old Trafford, in 2005 they were humiliated by Benfica at the Stadium of Light, and in 2006 they fell again to Benfica, and the Portuguese have become England's natural enemies in the Champions League in the past few years.

However, at this time, Benitez was full of confidence: "Now that we have found the key to winning, we just need to get what we want back." ”

'The important thing is confidence, we know Porto well and I hope the team can put the same amount of effort as they did in the last round. Benitez believes Liverpool's fighting power is often maximised at times like these: "I'm very confident that the team is used to playing under pressure and we've shown that countless times in the past. We also have an important advantage: playing at home. Anfield will see Liverpool come back to life. ”

It can be seen that at this time, Benitez is really confident. However, Portuguese journalists believe that Benitez is a strong outsider, and he is using it to build confidence in Liverpool's players, when in fact they have no confidence at all.

Porto's Quaresma said: "Liverpudlians came in and did well, but they still don't have any confidence internally because we've seen Benitez crazy to instill confidence in Liverpool's players. I think we won this game. ”

Porto's players seem to look down on Liverpool's players, but Liverpool's players are praising Porto's players at this time, at least that's what Gerrard did.

'The Portuguese players have a lot of feet and we can't afford to miss anything, especially in midfield, where we have to compress their passing space. Gerrard, on the other hand, said: "I will never allow such failures to happen twice in a week, I have already lost qualification for the European Championship and the Champions League is now my number one goal. ”

'Of course, we have to be aware that there are some problems in the team at the moment, but as professionals we have to put that behind us!' Gerrard said in an interview with The Liverpool Echo.

"What are the criteria for judging the team, for the players? I can't think of any other answer than the result, so we can't be distracted by the outside world, all we can do is focus on the game and win! ”

'The importance of the game against Porto is self-evident, the team has to be 100 per cent spirited and only when we get the three points can we speak hard!'

Steven Gerrard stepped up at this time, as a representative of the players, to express the hearts of the Liverpool players at this time, and he claimed that Liverpool would do whatever it took to finish Porto.

At this time, the topic of 10-0 at Anfield can never be avoided, but the Porto men seem to be dismissive of it: "10-0 is a rare scoreline, they are just lucky, we know that the English team is very strong at the moment, but we are confident to beat at Anfield because we believe in our quality," said Porto's Argentine Gonzalez.

'Liverpool will do everything they can to take us off, but our interest is also to take the three points.' However, Porto coach Ferreira was tough, and the return of captain Emmanuel after a three-month absence may have given the Portuguese team more courage.

At this time, Qiu Ze also stood up and said: "I know Porto too well, and I have a natural advantage when I play against them, that is, I have defeated them many times. I know their tactics very well and the win must have belonged to Liverpool. ”

Liverpool was dismissive of Qiu Ze's words, and they didn't think what Qiu Ze said was the truth. They said Liverpool wouldn't give them any problems at all because they were aiming for qualification and they couldn't afford to lose.

3 December 2007, Anfield, Liverpool, England.

Fans from both sides flocked to Anfield, the home of Liverpool, and in the Premier League, the home stadium of teams like Liverpool is almost every game full. Not to mention today's main event, the huge Anfield Stadium was packed with excited fans early.

Before the game even started, the fans of both sides began to fight a war of words, and their war of words continued the war of words between the two teams, which was warm and unrestrained. The Porto fans who came from afar were not ambiguous at all, as if this was their home stadium, and they had a very energetic time.

At 19:30 in the evening, the players of both sides had already warmed up in the stadium and returned to the dressing room to listen to the manager's tactical arrangements. By this time, the Anfield stadium was already packed, and the atmosphere inside the stadium was so warm that it was definitely able to bake eggs.

"Hello audience friends, here is the European Football Channel, I am your commentator Zhan Jun, today we bring you a match in Group A of the 2007-2008 Champions League group stage, against the Red Army Liverpool from England and Porto from Portugal." Zhan Jun began to explain with his unique voice.

"This match is one of the highlights of this round, and both sides are very strong. And it's about the qualifying situation of this group! Zhan Jun started the game preview, "This game is a game for the home team Liverpool, which is now standing on the edge of the cliff and rushing to safety. If they don't win this game, then they will be crushed. ”

"It's a different story in Porto, it's a different story entirely." Zhan continued, "This game is equally important for the Porto, because as long as the Porto do not lose to Liverpool in this game, they will qualify from this group early. However, now they are not absolutely safe, and they may also be eliminated. So to be on the safe side, the Porto side will definitely give it their all in this game. ”

When the commentators from various TV stations introduced the game, the whole Anfield stadium was very lively, and the fans of both sides had already started the battle, and they were playing happily in the stadium, which naturally attracted the attention of many reporters.

"The players from both sides have already played and the game is about to start, so now I will give you a brief overview of the rosters for today." Zhan Jun began to introduce today's list of the two sides, "Today, the home team Liverpool is in a four-four-two formation, and the goalkeeper's position is Reina, which is the main force that Thunder can't beat. ”

'In the back four, it's Finnan, Carragher, Daniel, 61 and Aveloa. The backline is a normal one for Liverpool, they haven't made any changes, and it was clear that Benitez was happy with the combination. ”

'In the midfield four are Steven Gerrard, Mascherano, Qiu Ze and Babel. Today, Babbel started the game, which was a surprise for everyone. This guy hasn't played many games since he came to Liverpool, I don't know what this guy means by starting today? Zhan Jun was a little puzzled.

Up front, Rafael Benitez partnered Crouch and Fernando Torres at 61, while his former newcomer Voronin was on the bench. It seems that Benitez can't ignore the in-form Crouch, and it seems that the England international is ushering in his spring. Zhan Jun said.

"Haode, now let's introduce the visiting team's starting line-up for today." Zhan Jun began to introduce Porto's starting list, "Today Porto is a 4231 formation, which is different from the lineup of the first leg of the game between the two sides. ”

'It seems that Ferreira felt that it was too unnecessary to put three forward midfielders in the back line, and it would be difficult for Liverpool's attack to threaten them Porto, so today he only sent a double midfielder and added an attacking player in midfield.

'Porto made a change in the goalkeeper position, starting with their number one goalkeeper Elton, while goalkeeper Nuno, who started the first leg, was on the bench.

'In the back four, it's Alves, Stepanov, Bosingwa and Cech, which is different from the first leg between the two sides, so it looks like Porto made a big change today.

"In the double midfield position are Assunção and L61 Gonzalez. In the forward three positions are the M61 Gonzalez, Kazmirchak, and Quaresma. At the top of the front line is L61 López. Zhan Jun introduced carefully.
