161 is about to sprint
Liverpool swept Norwich 5-0 as the Reds continued their march after the win over Manchester United; In fact, this is another victory for Liverpool in the second half, Liverpool has now won eight consecutive wins in the league, and it is precisely because of this wave of strong winning streaks that Liverpool is now at the top of the standings, and it is precisely because of this wave of victories that the Reds can now watch other teams under heavy pressure not dare to be careless. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In addition to these eight consecutive wins, Liverpool's hot momentum is also included, including Liverpool's 24 rounds of unbeaten league games; Liverpool are unbeaten this season and they will likely replicate Arsenal's unbeaten title-winning miracle.
This is really something that is very likely to happen again, just look at Qin Lang's performance, you can know that such a thing is definitely not an extravagant expectation.
Qin Lang has conceded no more than five goals this season, and it is normal for Qin Lang to have no more than ten goals in a single season after his debut; is also because of Qin Lang's phenomenal performance, many fans have been spoiled, and goalkeepers like Neuer and Joe Hart seem to be incomparable in front of Qin Lang.
The reason is naturally that Qin Lang's performance is very good, he really tops half of the team, and the team with Qin Lang naturally has the best defensive system; Qin Lang, who does not concede ten goals in a single season, cooperates with some defenders who are not the top, and Joe Hart has good helpers, but they cannot concede less than fifteen goals.
Compared with the two, this is why Qin Lang is the first goalkeeper, and he is the first goalkeeper who far surpasses others; It is precisely because Qin Lang's outstanding performance has given fans and the media more expectations that Liverpool's unbeaten season seems to be a very likely occurrence, because Liverpool's defense is really good.
Are Liverpool's defence outstanding?
This is actually a difficult thing to explain, because Liverpool's fewer goals are based on the premise of having a top goalkeeper like Qin Lang; If it weren't for Qin Lang's escort, then the Red Army's defense line would be considered to be of average strength, at least not a daunting defense line.
When Qin Lang is around, Liverpool's feeling is reliable, and they are extremely reliable at the defensive end; No matter how good the team is, no matter how powerful Qin Lang is, it is naturally not a simple matter to score in front of Qin Lang, or it is a victory to be able to score in the face of Qin Lang.
But when there is no Qin Lang, it is normal for Liverpool to concede goals, even if the opponent is a team of average strength; Because Liverpool's lack of goals is not the strength of the overall defense, this is the embodiment of Qin Lang's personal strength and influence.
In the fourth round of the FA Cup, Liverpool visited the Paudali Stadium to face the English One team Alderham; Although Liverpool scored from the start of the game, they conceded three goals in a row and they were knocked out in an upset.
Everyone knows that Liverpool are absent-minded about the FA Cup, and they have opted for a large rest in this game; Just think about Liverpool's current performance, this is a League One team, conceding three goals in a game, Liverpool seems to have completely forgotten to arrange the defensive line after not playing Qin Lang.
This is not at all something that can be explained by the absence of a few key players, after all, it is not the rest of the Liverpool backline.
Although being knocked out of the FA Cup by a League One side was a bit embarrassing for the team, it was not much of a problem; The FA Cup and the League Cup were decided to give up a long time ago, and now that they have been eliminated, it is better to focus on the league and the Champions League with peace of mind.
Playing on multiple fronts is not good for Liverpool, they don't have that much squad depth to stretch the line; Everyone knows that the triple crown and even the five crowns are enviable, but if you want to win so many titles, you really need to do what you can.
Liverpool is in such a state right now; In the league, it is difficult to solve the problem with Manchester United, and the top position is not very secure now, and if you continue to be greedy for the FA Cup at this time, it is really likely that the league will collapse because of too much pressure.
The FA Cup is a very important cup competition in the history of English football, but the FA Cup is just a cup competition, and it cannot be compared with the weight of the league. Then there is the fact that Liverpool won the FA Cup last season, while the Reds have never won the Premier League title.
So being knocked out of the FA Cup is nothing and the Liverpudlians know exactly what they are expecting and they just want to take a good position in the table now.
In addition to the high pressure of the league, there is also the upcoming Champions League knockout round; This is also something that Liverpool must be cautious about, Liverpool has five Champions League titles in their history, but no one will be too much in the Champions League, which represents the highest honor in the club's competition, and even the glory that many giants have been pursuing.
The Reds are not favourites to win the Champions League, but they can go a little further in the Champions League, which is indeed the goal of the whole team.
Liverpool are well aware of what they want to get, and they're constantly trying; It's not that being knocked out of the FA Cup is a sign of hard work, it's about the continued development of the team.
It's the end of January 2013, which means that the winter transfer market is coming to an end; With the exception of bringing in Sturridge at the beginning of the winter transfer window and completing some purges, Liverpool are basically full of transfer scandals, and there are no transfers that have actually been implemented.
But now, another blockbuster transfer in the winter transfer market is still related to Liverpool.
Liverpool have officially announced the signing of 20-year-old Brazilian prodigy Felipe Coutinho from Inter Milan, who will wear the Reds' number 10 shirt. According to the media, Coutinho's transfer fee is £8.5 million.
Liverpool need a midfielder, a playmaker in midfield, and although Coutinho may not be able to become Liverpool's midfield commander in the shortest possible time, his presence gives some hope and the possibility of Liverpool's fluidity in attack.
For Liverpool, the team is getting better and better, and the fans naturally want to see the Reds more competitive.
However, for the players, they don't have that much time to welcome young players to the team; There has been little movement in the transfer market throughout the winter break, and there has been a lack of sensational transfers in the true sense of the word.
Before the opening of this season's winter transfer window, fans of the Premier League powers had certain expectations for the January purchase, but to everyone's disappointment, the crazy scene in the same period of the previous winter window did not appear, and the traditional semi-finals + upstart Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur failed to complete the shocking move.
Liverpool is not bad, there are two transfers of some weight, but that's all. In contrast, the small and medium-sized clubs are quite strong, and Newcastle still completed a multi-million pound deal.
Everyone thought that Manchester City, which was not bad for money, would continue to go crazy to recruit reinforcements, but it turned out that they were surprised; After Sergio Aguero's injury this season, instead of continuing to strengthen their attacking line, Manchester City sold Balotelli.
Well, it could be because the Abu Dhabi consortium is a little unhappy with the frenzied investment in the past few transfer periods, or it could be that they lost their enthusiasm after winning the Premier League. As for Balotelli being sold to AC Milan, it is true that the young Balotelli has strength, but his personality is not easy for ordinary people to handle.
Manchester United is really not moving, basically just loaning out some young players; And Chelsea bought Demba Ba, which can be regarded as making some additions in the forward line. As for Arsenal spending 10 million pounds to buy defender Monreal, although there is only this transfer, it is already good.
A number of giants basically did not make a move, and Liverpool's transfer is a relatively large investment; That's also normal as the Reds are now top of the league table as they look to continue their strong run in the league. It is also because the whole team is well aware of some of the team's shortcomings, and they are trying to fill in some shortcomings.
The team's reinforcements are quite satisfactory, Qin Lang and his teammates didn't expect the team to spend hundreds of millions of pounds on transfer fees like Manchester City and Chelsea.
With the transfer of the team on hold for the time being, Liverpool's management are starting to focus on some important games.
Liverpool have some big games ahead of them in February, and the next few games will be crucial for Liverpool's players.
The opponent in the 24th round is the Gunners Arsenal, and in the 25th round they will play Manchester City; These two opponents of Liverpool are definitely not that easy to win, and this is a game that Liverpool basically cannot afford to lose.
Arsenal are still seventh in the table, but they could finish in the top five at any time; In order to qualify for next season's Champions League, the Gunners will surely give it their all.
As for Manchester City, they are now third in the table; Although there is a gap of more than two games with Liverpool, Manchester City have encountered all kinds of problems this season. However, their overall strength is still very strong, and it is believed that Manchester City are also willing to take Liverpool, because this will allow them to retain their hopes of defending the title.
For Liverpool, in addition to the two tough opponents they have encountered in succession, the situation will also be serious, including the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals that will soon come after these games, which is also a game that Liverpool must go all out to win, and there is no room for negligence.
Liverpool had a near-perfect start to the second half of the game, but that doesn't mean Liverpool can relax; In the sprint stage, you need to run wildly. Otherwise, they risk being overtaken by some of the teams behind them who are starting to sprint! (To be continued.) )
