After the game against Manchester United, the whole of England talked about Liverpool's form this season, they have won Manchester United and Chelsea in the league, although there is still a gap with Chelsea in league points, but Liverpool have two games less, and if they win both games, Liverpool will have one more points than Chelsea.

This is quite a good result.

Many English media are willing to see the rise of the Reds, in their eyes, Liverpool is the real aristocracy, Chelsea is just an upstart, even if Liverpool has not won the title for many years, but their influence in England is still quite large, which is much better than Chelsea.

Manchester United, on the other hand, lost the game against Liverpool, and the points gap is a bit wider, but they are still three points ahead of Arsenal and third in the league.

Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, this is the first group in the Premier League.

Christmas hasn't arrived yet, and the league isn't halfway through, but the form of the four teams is already shaping the way this season is in contention for the title – Liverpool and Chelsea are battling it out for the league title, while Manchester United and Arsenal are battling it out for third and fourth.

As for the other teams, the chances are really slim.

Behind Arsenal is their local rivals Tottenham Hotspur, who have had a good run this year, but are also five points clear of Arsenal and, importantly, have lost the derby with Arsenal.

Then there are Bolton, Newcastle, Blackburn, it is worth mentioning Blackburn, they did not have a good result at the beginning of the season, but after more than a dozen rounds, Blackburn has risen to the second group in the league with a three-game winning streak, and there is a trend to catch up with Newcastle, this form and table Xiàn have attracted a lot of attention.

Overall. The gap between Group 2 and Group 1 in the Premier League is still a bit big, and their only hope of jumping into Group 1 is to catch up with Arsenal.

But Arsenal's recent form, with Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho's war of words, seems to be getting better and better, with their leading scorer Thierry Henry having scored five goals in the last three league games. The efficiency is quite high.

The above is the current Premier League shape shì.

For Liverpool, it is worth being happy to win Manchester United, after the game between Liverpool and Manchester United, there was another verbal bombardment, and in the end there was no result, the important thing is that Liverpool won, what Manchester United says specifically, in fact, it doesn't matter, that is just a way for Manchester United to get back face.

They lost the game. No matter what, the result will not be rewritten.

Liverpool have to deal with the next game, Benitez is fully focused on the Champions League group stage, Liverpool have a pretty good result, in the Champions League, Liverpool can be said to be the best result of the English team, Liverpool won three of the four group games, and only the game against Chelsea was a draw. The opponent Chelsea has two wins, one draw and one loss. Three points off Liverpool.

Then the fifth match of the Champions Cup is quite important.

Liverpool's opponent is Real Betis, and it is a home game, as long as this game is won, Liverpool's shape will become very good, and the group qualification is certain, whether it is the first place in the group. It will also depend on Chelsea's table, but in the end, if we win this game, Liverpool's group shape will be the best, if Chelsea don't play well. They could even qualify early as group winners.

Benitez cares a lot about the game and he fielded the best team the team can put out.

The forward line is partnered by Cisse and Zhang Tiehan, both of whom belong to the kind of center forward who can score goals, but as soon as the two are partnered, Zhang Tiehan's position must be retreated, otherwise the positions of the two will coincide, if Zhang Tiehan plays the center, then Cisse can only get off the field, the positions of the two basically coincide, Cisse is not the kind of striker who can pull back.

But at present, Liverpool, Zhang Tiehan's threat is the greatest, he can insert, and after he can pull, it will be difficult for the opponent to defend.

The combination of midfielders Steven Gerrard and Alonso is very strong, with Finnan and Reese on the flanks, Garcia is suspended for one game due to yellow cards accumulated in the league, and defenders Warnock, Carragher, Hyypia and Josemi are the strongest defensive combination that Liverpool can come up with at the moment.

As soon as this squad came out, it made the hearts of the fans at Anfield Stadium reassured.

Sending out the strongest squad also means that the team will go all out to win, and such a game is worth watching, although the visiting Real Betis are a bit bitter, they have to face Liverpool's strongest squad away from home.

The last time they were at home, they lost 4-0 and now at Anfield, Liverpool are still going all out, and they really don't have much confidence.

This state of mind is also expressed in the game.

Real Betis's offense can't play, and the defense makes frequent mistakes, from the beginning, the initiative is in the hands of Liverpool, not that Liverpool is playing too well, but that Real Betis is too bad.

Liverpool aren't in great shape.

In the first 20 minutes, they had eight shots on goal, three of which were good, but they didn't score, Zhang Tiehan also had one chance, it was a direct volley in front of the penalty area, no one defended at the time, but Zhang Tiehan used too much force and hit a plane directly.

"Haha......" After Zhang Tiehan shot the goal, he looked at the football flying towards the audience, and was embarrassed to silently top his head.

But the fans in the stands on the side of Real Betis were very crazy, and the moment the football flew into the stands, they all stood up and snatched the football, and the result was a little surprising, it was a child, who looked less than ten years old, and sat the football under his butt, and the others could only watch with envy.

"Congratulations."

The big screen was also pointed at the child, and the narrator joked, "There don't seem to be any parents next to him, but he still grabbed the football, which is completely worth the ticket price." This is the 'plane' that Zhang kicked and I think there must be someone willing to pay a high price for that football after the game. ”

Finally, he added, "If it was under five hundred pounds, I would certainly consider ......."

It is estimated that it is not considered, but directly bought. Zhang Tiehan shot a lot of goals in a good position, but there were not many times when he jerked off, and he also kicked the football into the stands, so it gave football a special meaning, although this is just an ordinary group stage of the Champions League, but with Zhang Tiehan's fame and reputation, it is still very easy for football to sell for five hundred pounds.

On the pitch, Liverpool launched a new wave of attacks.

Gerrard and Finnan cooperated twice in a row on the wing, allowing Finnan to calmly bring the ball to the bottom line, and then Finnan crossed at the bottom line, Cisse's header did not reach the top, and the football fell to the back point, Alonso passed the ball back to Zhang Tiehan, Zhang Tiehan stepped forward and fired a powerful volley, but unfortunately the football flew out of the bottom line by grazing the post.

Zhang Tiehan shrugged at Alonso.

"That's good." Alonso patted Zhang Tiehan's hand, "It's almost ......"

"But it still didn't go in."

Zhang Tiehan was a little helpless, he felt that he was in good shape, but these two shots did not score, although it was only a little bit just now, but Zhang Tiehan felt that as long as he did not score, it was a stinky ball.

"It's because you're too demanding, and it's hard for others to play well in that position just now." Alon Cableway.

Zhang Tiehan didn't say anything, turned around and prepared to defend.

During this time, Real Betis's attack gradually came into play, and it also posed a little threat to the Liverpool defence, but in general, Liverpool played with ease.

They dominated the situation and were just a goal.

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

As Real Betis gradually found their form, their defense has been more solid, Liverpool have not had so many chances, Liverpool also had four shots on goal in these ten minutes, but still did not score, Benitez is also a little anxious off the field, he knows that the team's poor is to score, if there is no goal, it will hit the team's morale.

But football games are often like that, and rushing doesn't help.

Liverpool always wanted to score, but until the end of the first half, they still didn't score, there were a lot of chances, but all good chances, for various reasons, led to no result.

A very helpless first half.

When the commentator summed up the first half, he also expressed this meaning, "In the first half, Liverpool was always looking to score, they played well and worked hard, but maybe God was not on their side, Liverpool's players didn't seem to have shooting boots today, even Zhang, he had five shots, but still didn't score." ”

It's really helpless.

In order to score goals, in order to win, Benitez made some changes to the lineup, he asked Zhang Tiehan to play as a center forward, so that he could be closer to the goal, so that even if the shooting was a little worse, it was easy to score goals when he had a chance, while Cisse was replaced, and Morientes, who returned from injury, came out.

Morientes is also a striker who likes to score goals on his own, but his experience has given him a very well-rounded ability, and playing as a shadow striker can also have a qualified appearance, which is what Benitez likes him the most.

Like Zhang Tiehan, although he is also comprehensive, he is always the player who finishes the goal last.

Cisse is even worse, he can only play as a center forward.

And Morientes can even have a stable table in the midfield, sometimes when there is no one in the midfield, Morientes can also be on top, the only pity is that Morientes's form is a bit up and down, he doesn't seem to be very suitable for the Premier League, and when he becomes a pointed center, the goal efficiency is really a bit unbearable.

Benitez hopes he can find his groove so that he has more strikers at his disposal.

Morientes also hopes that he can find his feelings, but now that Zhang Tiehan is a center forward, he can only play shadow striker, but he still hopes to use his watch to fight for more opportunities, and after being substituted at the beginning of the second half, Morientes has been running frequently in the front court, constantly trying to find opportunities.

His table is quite shining, especially the number of passes to Zhang Tiehan is quite large.

It's completely different from Cisse.

Cisse is on the field, and when he gets the ball, he almost shoots, and sometimes Zhang Tiehan has to make the ball for him, while Morientes frequently passes the ball to Zhang Tiehan, the difference between the two makes Zhang Tiehan feel quite good now...... (To be continued......)
