53. Liverpool has had its ups and downs
Two to one! Liverpool beat Marseille with two goals from Fernando 61 Torres and Qiu Ze to knock Marseille out of this season's UEFA Champions League and qualify for the last 16 of this season's UEFA Champions League one round earlier.
In this game, Qiu Ze's performance was very double-eyed, he not only delivered an assist, but also completed a stunner, he undoubtedly became the best player of the game, after the game, Qiu Ze this guy is very sought after.
At the same time as this game, the result of another matchup in this group was also produced, Atletico Madrid also defeated the Netherlands' PSV Eindhoven 2-1 at their home stadium, so that PSV Eindhoven also lost hope of qualifying, and Atletico Madrid also advanced to the last 16 of this season's UEFA Champions League one round of games ahead of schedule.
In fact. After the end of this round of games, all the teams that advanced to the round of 16 have been produced, and the group stage of this round has become a chicken rib, and it can even be said that it is meaningless, because all the teams that have advanced have been produced.
But it's very important for the teams who didn't qualify because they still have to compete for qualification for the UEFA Cup, so this round is hugely important for them.
The UEFA Champions League has only been played, and all the top 16 teams have been produced, which has never been seen in the history of the Champions League, which is really a new record.
This season has been a miracle season that will remain in the history of the Champions League, and it will be a big one.
After the game, all kinds of media reported on this grand occasion, claiming that this is the most suspenseless UEFA Champions League group stage, of course, there are also many media criticizing UEFA's policy of taking care of small leagues, which makes the UEFA less and less competitive, more and more watery, less and less exciting, and not fun.
However, there is also a lot of media that has already focused on the draw for the last 16 of the Champions League in two weeks' time, and they are speculating about the outcome of the draw.
Qiu Ze and Liverpool, on the other hand, don't have that much energy to focus on this, and they now have to focus on the next league games. Liverpool have just played a tight game at their home stadium in midweek, and Liverpool's fans are very detrimental to the upcoming league campaign.
At the weekend, Liverpool will still be on their home turf against West Ham United, and now it's the most intense time to fight for the top spot in the league, and with everyone out of the Champions League, the environment is the same, and now it's up to who can take their chances.
West Ham came to Liverpool with the goal of picking up points, and they saw just how much Liverpool were consuming in midweek and they thought it was a great opportunity for them to even win if they played well.
Therefore, after the game started, the West Ham team put on a defensive jiashi, which was to play Liverpool's counterattack. And Liverpool, on their home turf, were really hoping to win this game, and they launched a ferocious attack from the start.
In the opening half-hour, Liverpool's attack was ferocious, threatening West Ham's goal on several occasions and even coming close to finding the back of the net on two occasions. Unfortunately, West Ham were lucky enough to survive in the end.
After 30 minutes of hard work, West Ham gradually found that they were under less and less defensive pressure, and they immediately stepped up their counter-attack, desperately wanting to take the three points away from Liverpool.
Half an hour later, Liverpool's players were very much less physical, and the midweek game was really too much for them, and they were actually unable to attack at this time, which gave West Ham a chance.
West Ham have been waiting for such an opportunity and now that it has come, they are of course attacking frantically and hoping to get on the scoresheet as soon as possible.
In the following games, West Ham gradually took the initiative on the pitch and threatened Liverpool's goal many times, but their ability to grasp the opportunity was too poor, and several very good opportunities were not grasped, and in the end West Ham still failed to get their wish, only got a point away from home.
Yes, in the end, Liverpool drew 0-0 with West Ham on their home turf, with both sides picking up a point each. Both sides are very unhappy with this result, because both sides want to win. Liverpool are now going to hit the top of the league table, and those three points are of course important.
West Ham, on the other hand, saw Liverpool's midweek attrition and it was a good chance for them to win, and they certainly wanted to get the three points, but neither team could do so, and the result ended in a draw.
In fact, if it were in normal times, West Ham would be able to get a point at Anfield, and they would definitely be very satisfied, because they know very well the devil at Anfield. But now they are very dissatisfied.
Sometimes people are like this, and when they want to be better, they are insatiable.
At the end of this round, Liverpool had a decent result, retaining their second place in the league and not allowing the Red Devils to overtake them. However, the current form is precarious, the Red Devils Manchester United are eyeing the back, the two teams are not far apart, at this time, Liverpool can not afford to make mistakes again.
Liverpool will not be playing a double game next week, and they have just one game this week, which is away to Blackburn Rovers at the weekend. Then the following week of the game, they will have a double week, with a midweek away game against PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands, and then Liverpool will fly to Japan for the Shijie Club Cup at the weekend. And this round of the Premier League Liverpool vs. Hull City match is about to be rescheduled.
After the UEFA Champions League group stage, Liverpool, who won last season's UEFA Champions League, will travel to Japan to compete in the Shijie Club Cup. Although this title may not seem very heavy, Liverpool must be very keen to win this title, and they are not travelling to Asia.
Now, Liverpool have emerged from the UEFA Champions League group stage and advanced to the round of 16. However, they did not ensure the top spot in the group, and Liverpool will certainly give it their all in this round of the group stage, and they certainly do not want to fall behind Atletico Madrid and can only finish second in the group.
In this round of fixtures, Atletico Madrid will play Marseille away from home, while Liverpool will play PSV Eindhoven away from home. Marseille and PSV Eindhoven have been eliminated from the competition, and now this round of matches will be between Liverpool and Atletico Madrid.
However, Liverpool still have a league game to play before this round of the Champions League group stage, and Liverpool will face Blackburn Rovers away from home.
In this game, the Liverpool team is all on the field, and now the league is the most important thing for the Liverpool team. Even if they lose in the group stage of the Champions League and finish second in the group, they are not unacceptable. If they lose to Blackburn Rovers in the league, they will never be able to accept it.
So, against Blackburn, Liverpool were all in the squad and they were aiming to get the win.
However, it was not them who scored at the start of the game, it was Blackburn. Blackburn Rovers were lucky, leading Liverpool at home with a dribble balloon as soon as they came up, much to the excitement of Blackburn fans.
What could be more desirable than this start? Once they took the lead, Blackburn were much better at playing, and they started to play on the counter-attack with all their hearts, just waiting for Liverpool to make a mistake and hope to take advantage of the opportunity to extend the lead.
After conceding an accidental goal, Liverpool launched a ferocious attack, and again, they absolutely could not accept a loss in this game. They can't afford to be outdone by the Red Devils and they need to win this game.
Liverpool's attack was very ferocious, but in the first half, Liverpool did not break through Blackburn's goal, which made the Liverpool players nervous.
Fortunately, at the beginning of the second half, Qiu Ze stepped up and fired a powerful long-range shot from outside the penalty area into Blackburn's goal to equalize the score.
Fifteen minutes later, the Russian Tsar Andrei 61 Arshavin crossed the ball on the side, thinking that he would pass the football to the Spanish center Fernando 61 Torres in the middle, but he didn't know that he didn't eat the right part, and the football flew into the goal of the Blackburn Rovers team like a ghost, and the Liverpool team magically exceeded the score.
Liverpool's goal was really exciting and quite lucky. Blackburn Rovers were completely blinded after conceding the goal, they really didn't expect Liverpool to overtake the score like this, they couldn't believe it at the time.
However, this is the truth. Blackburn's luck was good, Liverpool's luck was even better, and in the face of such a situation, Blackburn had to grit his teeth and accept it.
After being overtaken, Blackburn Rovers did not defend to the death, and there was no point in defending it, and they immediately launched a ferocious attack, hoping to take advantage of the home advantage to score and win against Liverpool. At first, Blackburn's offense still had some effect, but Blake himself was not angry, so they didn't take advantage of the opportunity.
Zuihou, Liverpool took advantage of the opportunity of Blackburn's big press, and the Spanish striker Fernando 61 Torres successfully countered offside, went to the meeting single-handedly, scored a goal, and locked the score to 3-1, Liverpool defeated the Blackburn Rovers team in a thrilling away game, and got the three points as he wished.
This zuihou's goal still comes from Qiu Ze's assist, Fernando 61 Torres and Qiu Ze's cooperation is simply too tacit, so that Liverpool's opponents are unguardable.
At the end of this round, Liverpool continued to maintain a strong impact and continue to put pressure on the leading Chelsea. At the same time, they also stubbornly pressed the Red Devils Manchester United under themselves and continued to occupy the second place in the Premier League.
This round of the league was really thrilling for Liverpool, and the goal conceded in the opening game once made the Liverpool players stunned, and they had nothing to do in the first half of the game. Fortunately, at the beginning of the second half, Qiu Ze stepped up and scored with a long-range shot, waking up the sleeping Liverpool team, and the Liverpool team won triumphantly and hard.
The victory in this game also sounded the alarm bell for the Liverpool team, that is, when going to the away Philips Stadium, the Liverpool players must not take it lightly, otherwise it will be their Liverpool team who will lose the game.
After this round of league games, Liverpool first took a day off and then recuperated in Liverpool for another day before the team set off for the Netherlands to embark on the final game of the group stage of this season's Champions League.
At the Philips Stadium, home of PSV Eindhoven, Liverpool will be in the hunt for top spot in this season's European Champions Love Group Stage. And when this game kicks off at the same time, their opponents Atletico Madrid will also attack this throne, and Liverpool cannot take it lightly. They can't afford to lose this game.
