Koeman himself should have thought of playing Arsenal at the weekend.

As a head coach, whether it's himself, the media, or his colleagues, he will be reminded.

However, he learned the lessons of the failures of October and November, and looked ahead and backward in the two-front battle, and generally said that it would be easier to divide the energy evenly.

In addition, this Champions League group stage finale is a life-and-death battle, once Liverpool encounters Waterloo, it will move to the Europa League, and no one wants to see such an outcome.

So in such a situation, he can only give it his all and not think about the weekend game against Arsenal.

Thankfully, the game went in Liverpool's absolute favour and now, with Sammy Lee reminding him, it's time for him to make the right choice.

Reserve your strength for the weekend of BIG4 Civil War!

Moreover, Fiorentina has been beaten out of spirit by Liverpool, he believes that the team will not make a mess, and now Liverpool's morale is high, the team's attention to the game is highly concentrated, and there is no such thing as being careless.

In the 65th minute of the game, when Qin Xiong received Torres's return pass in the front court and blasted a long-range shot that deviated from the goal, the referee stopped the game and signaled for a substitution on the sidelines.

Qin Xiong turned his head to look and was a little surprised to see that Coman chose to replace him first.

"Liverpool, who led 3-0, took the lead in substitutions, and there was some commotion in the Anfield stands, and it seemed that the fans were not satisfied with Koeman replacing Qin Xiong, and Lucas would come on to replace Qin Xiong, which should be a clear sign that Liverpool want to hold on to the victory."

Qin Xiong walked to the sidelines, and after high-fives with Lucas, Qin Xiong walked out of the field, he raised his arms above his head to applaud the fans, and Coman put his arms around Qin Xiong's shoulders as he walked. He whispered in his ear: "The team needs you against Arsenal at the weekend, so rest now. ”

Qin Xiong then understood why he was replaced, in fact, as a player, he rarely cared who he fought against in the next game, he did his job. I often know about the opponent in the pre-match preparation meeting, and then listen carefully to the introduction and game deployment of the opponent by the coaching staff.

Koeman's reasons for replacing him are beyond reproach, given that the Premier League is about to enter the Devil's Christmas schedule and he will need to retain his fitness to cope with the brutal schedule.

Five minutes later, Coman used up his second substitution.

Benayoun comes on for Steven Gerrard.

Gerrard was greeted by applause from the fans when he left the game, and after he came down, he put on a warm coat and sat next to Qin Xiong, he smiled lightly: "I thought it would be Xavi's second to be replaced." ”

Qin Xiong stared at the field with his arms around his chest, and said lightly: "The team needs Xavi to control the scene on the court, at least the midfield and backfield can't make chaos, and the most feared situation is that there is even a stable point in the backfield." None of the points existed. Xavi is on the field, and everyone will not be confused about the transition between attack and defense. ”

Gerrard nodded, then watched the match in silence.

Fiorentina has the idea of trying their best to counterattack after Liverpool's two main players are off the field, but Liverpool's midfield interception is too fierce!

Lucas and Mascherano can go to the flanks as they please, without worrying about the emptiness of the central defence.

However, this allowed Fiorentina to get some set-piece opportunities, but luck did not seem to favor the Purple Lilies and their set-piece attacks did not create a clear threat.

80th minute of the game. Koeman used up his last substitution and brought on Babel Torres. Then let Kuyt return to the midfield, change the formation 4411, and the strength of Liverpool's midfield defense will be taken to the next level!

Florence was almost in a situation of being trapped in a beast fight.

They try hard to play fast, but the attacking players will drown in Liverpool's frantic midfield defence.

The race came to the finish in a turbulent rhythm.

The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the 2009-2010 Champions League group stage Group E matches were all over, in the final highlight game. Liverpool won 3-0 at Anfield thanks to a brace from Qin Xiong and a goal from Fernando Torres.

In the other game, Lyon beat Di Biseni 4-0 at home.

The final standings for this group are as follows.

Lyon has 6 games, 4 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss, and currently accumulates 13 points.

Liverpool has 6 games, 4 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss, and has accumulated 13 points.

Fiorentina have 6 matches, 3 wins, 3 losses, and 9 points.

Di Bisseini has 6 losses in 6 games and has 0 points.

Although Liverpool have the same number of points as Lyon. However, in the head-to-head record between the two teams, Liverpool has 1 draw and 1 loss, so they can only settle for second place in the group.

Fiorentina were saddened to move to the Europa League, with Prandelli's side failing to pull off a miracle at Anfield, which made their previous three-game winning streak come to naught.

Progression to the last 16 of the Champions League is good news for Liverpool, but their finish second in the group means there is a good chance of a strong opponent drawn in the Champions League last-16 draw, although given Liverpool's recent comeback, they should not be afraid of any strong opponents.

Well, after all the Champions League group stage is over, the Champions League will say goodbye to us for the time being, and only in mid-February next year will we be able to watch the Champions League again in February 2010! ”

After the game, Anfield echoed the team anthem sung by the fans in unison, Qin Xiong stood up to grab the shirt he had taken off earlier, and he walked to the edge of the stands, where the fans rushed to ask him for the shirt.

He searched his eyes and saw a little boy about ten years old, he stepped forward and handed the folded jersey to the little boy with his own hands, the little boy should have come to watch the game with his father, his father had a surprised smile on his face, constantly thanked Qin Xiong, and praised Qin Xiong's wonderful performance in the game.

Qin Xiong reached out and touched the hair of the slightly shy little boy, then looked at his father and said with a smile: "I also look forward to the day when I will bring my children to the scene to watch the ball game, that feeling must be great!" ”

"Of course! But first your child has to be a fan and have their own side to support them. ”

"Okay, I remember, I want him to be a fan and a team that he likes."

Qin Xiong kept raising his hands and applauding the fans as he left, and at the exit of the players' tunnel, the media waited for Qin Xiong's arrival.

He simply accepted questions from reporters and only expressed his views and position when asked if he was worried about Liverpool's 1/8 final draw a strong team.

"There will be no worries or panic at Liverpool, it is our opponents who pray, don't draw Liverpool, otherwise their Champions League journey will be over." (To be continued.) )
