Qin Xiong had a weekend off, and he will not play in the Champions League in the following week, just sit on the bench and watch the game.

Koeman has been a bit of a frustration lately.

Because Qin Xiong is too famous, after he retired from injury in the previous round, he did not play in another league, which made Fleet Street speculate a lot, plus Torres came back, but his performance in the league was mediocre, which made the outside world full of doubts about Torres's future.

There was one more thing that made Koeman angry at the club's transfer negotiation team, led by Wilkot: the news of the full-back introduction leaked!

The number one target Liverpool want to bring in is Tottenham's Gareth Bale.

It can be said that a year ago, although Bale became famous at a young age, he never played the main team at Tottenham, plus he was still very unlucky, and Tottenham couldn't win the game he played!

It was only a year ago that I got rid of such doom.

And in this year, Bale has become the number one wide player in England.

Before this season, Bale had been playing as a full-back, and this season he was pushed to the position of full-back, not only becoming the Premier League's king of crosses so far, but also had a lot of goals, especially key goals and assists!

This made Coman very fond of Bale, and he envisioned Bale coming to the team to play as a full-back and form a dominant attacking combination with Qin Xiong on the left wing!

Because Qin Xiong has a larger range of activities and can be called a free man in the front court, then Bale's space on the left side will not be limited.

This ideal design was perfect in Koeman's opinion.

Another point is the new policy implemented by UEFA before this season, in order to stimulate transfers in European football, the rules and restrictions of the previous Cup-tied have been relaxed!

Bale represented Tottenham in the Europa League in the first half of the season, as long as he transferred to Liverpool in the winter and Liverpool signed him up for the Champions League, then Bale will be able to represent Liverpool in the Champions League in the second half of the season! It's also a great temptation for the players!

But the news leaked!

It's still more than a month before the transfer window opens.

The media hyped that Liverpool was going to bring in Bale, and the news made it very difficult for Liverpool to bring in reinforcements!

This is not a "go-and-go" summer transfer window, and players don't have to face pressure from their coaches, team-mates and fans at the club. Behind closed doors, you can negotiate with a broker.

But it's too stressful to negotiate a transfer while the season is underway!

This is tantamount to a betrayal.

However, the news that Liverpool locked up Bale's transfer was learned by Fleet Street.

This also gives Tottenham room to operate.

As a club that has become Jewish-controlled, Tottenham Hotspur is of course in the business of making money, not trophies.

Before the start of the fifth round of the Champions League group stage. Fleet Street revealed the news that Tottenham Hotspur FC had set a sky-high price of 60 million pounds for Bale!

At the pre-match press conference for the Champions League, Fleet Street reporters rushed to ask questions about Liverpool's intention to bring in Bale after the winter transfer window opened.

Koeman can only avoid talking about it.

'We're playing a Champions League game tomorrow and I'll only answer questions related to the game, thank you.'

Fleet Street reporters are not angry either, Liverpool are going to meet Tottenham Hotspur in the league at the weekend. When the time comes, there will be opportunities.

"Will Qin Xiong appear in tomorrow's game?"

'He's got his thigh muscles back but we've already finished top of the group stage, so given the pressure ahead, I'll let him rest tomorrow and be a substitute if he doesn't have to.

"Torres is in average form since his comeback, how much time will he have tomorrow?"

'Fernando Torres has been doing well since his comeback, he contributed a lot to the team's victory last weekend and we will rely on him for the weekend's league game, so tomorrow he will probably have 60 minutes or so to improve the feeling of the game.

The more attention is paid to the outside world. In fact, the more bad it is for the club.

The pressure on the players will be very high, and the outside world will look at you from different angles, and even judge you!

On the evening of November 25, Liverpool took on Werder Bremen at Anfield.

Qin Xiong, who entered the stadium early as a substitute, greeted the fans on the edge of the stands, many of whom wanted to get his autograph, and Qin Xiong said that he could meet the fans' requests after the game, but not now.

Substitute players should also look like substitute players.

He sat on the bench and watched the game with Steven Gerrard and Marcos Alonso.

Werder Bremen now has just one point. But it hasn't been completely eliminated yet.

FC Twente have 5 points and Inter Milan have 4.

If the other game is drawn and Werder Bremen take all three points at Anfield, the final round of the group stage will be a bitter battle for a place among the three teams.

So today Werder Bremen came to Anfield with a high fighting spirit.

Torres & Babbel. Kuyt partnered today's striker.

Liverpool's midfield combination is unusually tough, with Mereles, Lucas, and Tiot.

Enough to withstand Werder Bremen's onslaught.

The game turned into a head-to-head battle, with Liverpool gradually gaining the upper hand in the tug-of-war with a more lethal midfield.

Werder Bremen went all out to advance and the backline was full of mistakes. This gave Liverpool plenty of opportunities to play the ball behind the ball.

Fernando Torres finally scored his first goal since his comeback after missing two chances.

Then Meireles and Babbel also scored.

Liverpool won 3-0 at home to a desperate Werder Bremen.

At the end of the game, Liverpool fans applauded Torres, who had only played 63 minutes and scored a goal and an assist, a performance that made people believe that the former Red Army Holy Child had been revived!

In the other game in the same group, Inter Milan beat FC Twente 1-0 at home and withstood the pressure to return to second place in the group.

After 5 rounds, the group standings are as follows.

Liverpool 15 points.

Inter Milan 7 points.

5 points for Twente.

Werder Bremen 1 point.

In the final round of the group stage, Liverpool challenged Twente, and Inter Milan challenged Werder Bremen.

Liverpool's early promotion has long been settled, but Inter Milan are still at risk of being out.

After the game, a media reporter asked Koeman: Will Liverpool give Twente water in the final game of the Champions League group stage?

Maybe you can get rid of Inter Milan in this way!

Koeman said lightly: "Inter Milan has the initiative to qualify, Liverpool also has their own season plan, we can't send the strongest squad in every game, because we have to take care of multiple fronts, so please don't continue the conspiracy theory, even if we lose to Twente, is it really to do Inter Milan?" But what if Inter Milan don't lose away to Werder Bremen? Isn't that ridiculous? (To be continued.) )
