Chapter 950: The Crisis of the Old Man and the Opportunity of the Newcomer

From the record to the strength, Liverpool has no possibility of losing at home, and the result is in line with everyone's predictions before the game, but the process is not flattering, although the scene is a little better than the first game, the score is a little bigger, but the three points are by no means easy to get, and the situation in the middle of Liverpool has become very dangerous, until the 78th minute after the captain Gerrard scored the third goal, Liverpool can be regarded as lifting the alarm and locking the win. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In his post-match press conference, Rafael Benitez not only did not praise his team, but instead praised his opponents, West Ham United, "...... West Ham had a good day, they haven't won at Anfield for almost 40 years, but they caused us a lot of problems today, and although we got the three points at the end, our team also exposed a lot of problems that, if not resolved, could affect our plans to defend the title......

Benitez did not elaborate on what problems were exposed, but the media believes that according to Benitez's statement, these problems are the pride and arrogance of Liverpool players; second, except for Chen Yu, there is a lack of people to break the deadlock at critical moments; The third is that when the defenders are not in good condition, Liverpool's bench lacks a strong substitute, these problems are of course not a problem now, but as the schedule deepens, the game is becoming more and more intensive, injuries will inevitably occur, and then these problems will be exposed, Liverpool's luck in the second half of last season is too good to be better, the main force is basically not injured or sick, and all the main forces play all the games, which is also the key to Liverpool's ability to reverse Manchester United to win the championship.

After the game, Chen Yu was in a bad mood and did not accept the interview, Liverpool's captain Gerrard was interviewed, although he was very satisfied with the result of the game, but he also had a lot of complaints about the process, thinking that in the face of an opponent like West Ham United, the process should not be so thrilling, this is not the opening game, the players have no pressure, most of the reasons for playing like this are psychological problems, not enough attention to the opponent, not enough research.

Although the Liverpool boss was unhappy with the course of the game, the result of the two consecutive wins was excellent, and after just two rounds, Liverpool left his old title rivals Manchester United four points ahead of Chelsea and Arsenal who had played one game less because of Champions League qualification.

The strength of the top four of the Premier League is equal, every championship is a life and death, not to mention 4 points, even the goal difference has to be divided, Liverpool can leave Manchester United 4 points at the beginning, and Manchester United does not know how much effort it will take to smooth out the 4-point gap.

It is said that Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson was very disappointed after hearing the news of Liverpool's big victory, he angrily scolded West Ham United for being incompetent, Kobishley was a fool, and then scolded his own players for not being angry, and Liverpool opened the game with so many points.

The next day, when the media took stock of the second round of the Premier League, said that if Manchester United can't catch up, Chelsea and Arsenal can't stop Liverpool in a strong dialogue, then this season's Premier League may break the pattern of the top four formed for more than ten years in one fell swoop, and become Liverpool's standout.

The Times believes that this is not impossible, in the 80s, Liverpool once swept the English and European arenas, establishing a feared "red empire", if it were not for the Heysel tragedy, no one knows how long Liverpool's "red empire" would have existed.

There are also media that the idea of Liverpool riding the dust is unrealistic, although the young Arsenal may be out of contention, but Chelsea are definitely not going to be up and down, Mourinho has always been a utilitarian, they are still full of desire for the league title, and it is basically impossible to let them out of the title race.

In fact, by the time of the second round of Premier League fixtures, Chelsea and Arsenal had already made their debut in the Champions League qualifiers, and both had won beautifully.

Arsenal beat Czech double winners Spartak Prague 2-0 away. Although the score is not big, there is no suspense in Arsenal's victory, although Chelsea only won 1:0, but his opponent is the only opponent that belongs to the top five European leagues, Ligue 1, third place strength, Chelsea can win away from home is very good.

After the Champions League qualifying match, the strong dialogue between Liverpool and Chelsea also kicked off.

The third round of the Premier League is a very important round of the 0708 season, this round of Liverpool and Chelsea strong dialogue, Manchester United and Manchester City staged a derby, only the opponent is weaker Arsenal is sitting on the hill and watching the tiger, due to the poor record of Manchester United in the previous two rounds, only two points in the two games, this round of games has become more important for Manchester United.

The strongest strength of this season's semi-finals is undoubtedly the defending champion Liverpool, followed by Manchester United and Chelsea, Arsenal because of Henry's departure and no comparable star to join, the strength is actually declining, so before the start of the season, many media believe that this season's Premier League championship is the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, not the Final Four hegemony, and Arsenal can keep the Champions League seat is a victory.

However, the league has only been played for two rounds, and the situation has become a big surprise, the generally favored Manchester United has performed poorly, two games without a win, and also caught two absolute main Rooney and Ronaldo, the disaster is not alone, the next Manchester United and Manchester City derby match.

Manchester City is no longer the original Manchester City, after Manchester City was acquired by former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra in July, he immediately changed his body, upgraded from ** silk to Gao Fu Shuai, the summer transfer is not over, Manchester City has bought eight players, and also invited the Swedish coach Eriksen, the role of Jin Yuan is obvious, after Thaksin became the owner, Manchester City started with two consecutive wins, and is now ranked third, if they can beat the Red Devils Manchester United in the derby, Manchester City can not only push the city rival into the abyss, You can also raise your current ranking again, which can really be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Can Manchester City win at home? This question is not only wanted to know by Manchester City fans, it can be said that fans all over the world want to know, it is not easy to know this question, football matches are very unpredictable games, otherwise there would be no famous saying that football is round, but according to the state, morale, and strength of both sides of the game, it can actually be predicted.

Now Manchester City's strength has increased greatly, morale is high, and it is a home game, and Manchester United not only won two rounds, but also lost Rooney and Ronaldo, the game has not yet started, in fact, the balance of victory and defeat has fallen to Manchester City.

In fact, the media is now also pessimistic about Manchester United's game, believing that Manchester United's current situation should no longer expect to win, it is better to stabilize the situation and remain unbeaten first, after all, Manchester City now has the ability to impact the top four, and it is also a good choice for Manchester United to drag the pace of Manchester City first.

United's winless two-game run followed by a derby is a good opportunity for both Liverpool and Chelsea, as a win in this round would be tantamount to knocking out two of their toughest opponents at the same time.

Although the Premier League is considered to be the top four, in fact, after Benitez and Mourinho took over, the competition for the Premier League is mainly between Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea, Arsenal is basically fighting to keep the Champions League place, and the opportunity to get rid of two sworn enemies in one round of games is rare, Chelsea and Liverpool must firmly grasp it, so this round of games has become more important due to Manchester United's two consecutive draws.

This round is a huge opportunity for Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City, and it is also a huge opportunity for the new signings of these three teams.

For newcomers, if you want to win the opportunity to win the position quickly, the most important thing is not only to continue to excel in some unnoticeable games, but to play well in key games, so that he will leave a deep impression in the heart of the manager, and will be considered to be able to play tough battles, so that the manager will always think of him, as long as the player is not bad, he can almost play.

After beating West Ham United, Liverpool's new arrivals this season, such as Babel, Wallenen and Benayoun, have actively asked the manager and fans to play, hoping to get a chance to start or come on as a substitute.

Speaking to reporters, Babbel said he was starting to get excited by the moment and that Chelsea were a great opponent and that Chelsea had plenty of his idols in the squad, including Dutch stars like Arjen Robben. Babbel wants to start, and he believes his speed and impact will help his team win.

Benayoun is older and more mature than Babbel and he says playing against a team like Chelsea is extremely precious, and playing against a team like that, when you win, you not only win three points, but you also gain confidence, and he wants to get more game time so that he can play to his full strength.

Wallening was introduced by Benitez for free, and Benitez positioned him as a substitute, but Wallening did not want to be on the top, he knew that in Liverpool, Chen Yu's position in the forward line was unbreakable, and he could compete for Kuyt and Crouch, so before the game, Wallening has been emphasizing that he and Chen Yu are very comfortable with each other both in training and in the game, and Wallening hopes that he can continue to partner Chen Yu in the game with Chelsea.

And Chelsea's Malouda is the biggest star introduced by Chelsea this season, in the first round, Malouda's performance is very good, in the Champions League qualifying match with Toulouse, Malouda also played very well, many football experts believe that Malouda has the conditions to be on top, and now Real Madrid wants to poach Robben, because Chelsea has Malouda, the glass man Robben is no longer indispensable.

Malouda has the conditions to be the main force in terms of strength, all he needs is an important game, and the game against the defending champion Liverpool is such a game, Malouda is very clear about this, before the game, Malouda actively asked the manager Mourinho to play, and Malouda said that if Chen Yu plays as a winger, he can limit Chen Yu's play.

Limit Chen Yu's play, which is what every team that fights with Liverpool dreams of, but no one has been able to do it yet, of course Mourinho knows very well that for this game, Mourinho has long been prepared, but he did not dampen Malouda's enthusiasm, and asked Malouda to fight, Mourinho said that he would give Malouda a chance, and Malouda is his important weapon against Liverpool.

Like derby games and strong dialogues, it is an opportunity for newcomers to become famous, and for some veteran players, it may also be a lifesaver for whether they can continue to stay, such as Liverpool's Crouch, such as Manchester City's Sun Hai.

Crouch was Liverpool's second-highest scorer last season, but he has played less than 20 minutes in two games this season and has not played as much time as new signing Volenindo, much to Crouch's displeasure.

In the second round of the game against West Ham United, Crouch came on in the 83rd minute and soon scored the team's fourth goal, although it was the icing on the cake, but the goal was the last word, and Crouch also had the confidence to ask the manager Benitez for a main position.

In an interview with The Sun, Crouch said he would love to talk to manager Rafael Benitez, and he wanted to know what Benitez's position is in this season and whether Liverpool still has a place for him.

Crouch knows that he can't stop Liverpool's forward center of gravity incessantly tilting towards Chen Yu, so his strategy is the same as that of Vollenin and Kuyt, emphasizing that he is more suitable for Chen Yu, "I think Chen Yu doesn't need too much game time to play to be powerful, his strength is world-class, if you are lucky, Chen Yu has scored five goals now." I created some chances with him and I think we're a good pair. ”

There is also a reason why Benitez does not reuse Crouch, with Liverpool having four strikers in the front line: Chen Yu, Kuyt, Crouch and Volonin. He has no reason to put the top scorer Chen Yu on the bench, Kuyt's all-round characteristics are deeply appreciated by him, and the tall Crouch is just a player who can enrich the team's playing style, the Premier League and the more important games Chen Yu and Kuyt are the main players, Crouch is more suitable for Crouch to play in European games.

However, of course, these words cannot be said explicitly, so Benitez can only pretend not to hear Crouch's words and put the contradiction aside for the time being.

China's overseas player, Sun Hai, had a much more difficult time than Crouch.

After Thaksin became the owner of Manchester City this season, he invited Eriksen and recruited a lot of troops, after the strength was improved, Sun Hai became a marginal person like Sun Hai, the league played two rounds, Sun Hai did not even enter the squad, for Sun Hai, if this game with Manchester United still can't enter the squad, he should actually consider leaving.

Like some more powerful players, at this time will have a showdown with the manager, either give me a chance or let me go, like Crouch did this, but Sun Hai's strength is difficult to find a new owner in the Premier League, so he can only passively wait for Eriksen's decision.

When he was depressed and desperate, Sun Hai remembered Chen Yu, among the Chinese foreign players, Chen Yu is the best mixed, and it can be said that he has a decisive weight in the entire European football circle, because of Chen Yu's success, Chen Yu's agent Zhang Shubin has also become a well-known football agent in Europe, and he has a wide range of contacts in the circle, Sun Hai hopes that Chen Yu can help him think of a way to see if he can change his current disadvantage.
