Chapter 324: The Biggest News

Against Fulham, Liverpool's overall table was not good, as Benitez said, it has to do with the team's rotation and the team's bench depth.

Liverpool don't look like Chelsea, with a whole bunch of stars on the bench.

The front court is okay, there are Morientes on the bench, there are also Finnan, Zenden, Kewell and others in the midfield, and there are no players at all in the backfield, even the main lineup is a little pitiful, in this game, Alonso, Garcia, Cisse and Jimmy Carragher did not play, Benitez can only start a number of young players.

Kewell is still a big midfielder, and the young players who started at the back have made it even more difficult for Liverpool's defence.

Len Porter, Wertbride, David LaVine

These players who do not have much league experience make Liverpool's defense a mess, with only one Hyypia at the back to support them, and at the same time, they cannot provide more support up front.

Overall, the draw was a good result.

After the game, Zhang Tiehan became the only player in the Liverpool squad to be praised, he scored a goal in the game, and the second goal also had a lot to do with him, he also passed the ball to a good position after attracting the attention of the defense, and Gerrard could pass a good ball to assist Kewell to score.

He became the man of the match.

But the media praised not this, but his number of goals in the Premier League, so far, Zhang Tiehan has scored six goals in the league, and he has only played six league games, the efficiency of one goal at a time is absolutely amazing, and his six goals have also squeezed him into the top three of the Premier League's scorers, equal with Manchester United's Van Nistelrooy, and two goals less than Arsenal's Thierry Henry.

Thierry Henry played in all nine of Arsenal's games, with one of his eight goals coming from the penalty spot. And one of Vanney's six goals was a penalty, even if the number of games is not counted, Zhang Tiehan's goal is higher than Vanney's, so he is ranked second in the scorer list, and Vanney has the same number of goals as him. It can only be ranked third.

Zhang Tiehan jumped to the second place in the scorer list, which still surprised many people.

Some people who follow Zhang Tiehan have noticed that Zhang Tiehan has scored so many goals before he knows it, and although he has not played in two league games and Liverpool has played two games less, Zhang Tiehan still enters the top three scorers, which is surprising.

So after the match with Fulham, Liverpool's draw was not the point, but Zhang Tiehan's goal was the point.

But it may have something to do with the outcome of other matches.

It's not just Liverpool. Chelsea and Manchester United also drew in this round, Chelsea drew with Everton, Manchester United drew with Tottenham, so Liverpool's draw was not eye-catching, but Chelsea, and their draw made the whole of England talk about it.

Over the past week, Chelsea have beaten Bolton Wanderers and Betis in quick succession, scoring nine goals in less than 100 minutes, a horrific goalscoring efficiency that has left everyone in awe. So the whole of Europe said it would take a lot of luck to beat Chelsea.

Before the words could be spoken, bad luck found Chelsea.

They were given their fifth league goal of the season by bottom-of-the-table Everton thanks to a mistake on the road, three of which were scored against Liverpool and then by a referee's error. They lost the victory they had already reached.

In this game, Mourinho's strategy is still admirable.

He abandoned Portuguese compatriot Carvalho and used Huth, who has an advantage in the air, to target the opponent's 190-year-tall Duncan. Alex Ferguson, making it impossible for the home team to play high-ball tactics. The rest of the players continued their winning streak and left Everton struggling from the start.

Just one minute into the game, Essien had a long-range shot from around 20 meters that sent the home fans in surprise.

Frank Lampard, Orno, Wright-Phillips and Didier Drogba all had a number of chances afterwards, but it was Everton who scored first after a back-to-back defeat and just one goal so far in the league. In the 36th minute, Wright Jr., who had returned to the defense, was tackled by Cahill as he was ready to start after intercepting the ball, and then desperately chased back, but tackled it on the left edge of the penalty area, and referee Clattenburg sentenced him to death.

"There is no doubt that the ball is a foul," the ESPN commentator said, "and the only thing the referee needs to do is confirm whether the foul occurred in the box." ”

Slow motion shows that there is no problem with this penalty.

Beattie smashed the ball into the top corner of the net, a theoretically unsavable corner, and it was Everton's goal that led to Everton's draw.

With the lessons learned from Bolton Wanderers last week, the question was in the minds ahead of both teams: 'Will Chelsea raise the butcher's knife again?' Instead of 'Will Chelsea lose?'

Frank Lampard's goal in the opening five minutes of the second half seemed to confirm the fears.

Coincidentally, the goal was also refereed, with Orno's throw-in meant to be played to Claude Makelele, but the referee blocked the Frenchman's path and Lampard cut in from the left at high speed, and from 25 yards down the middle, he pulled a right-footed ball past Martin into the bottom right corner. It was his eighth goal of the season and put him back at the top of the scorers' charts. The jubilant Everton fans fell silent, with only a handful of Chelsea fans cheering in the stadium.

With Chelsea's ensuing onslaught, the ESPN commentator sighed: "It looks like the tragedy of a week ago is going to happen again."

That came true in the 62nd minute, when Frank Lampard slid a series of swings from the top of the box and passed straight to Didier Drogba, who slotted home from the middle with ease, but the referee ruled out that the Ivorian was offside, reinvigorating the already crying home fans.

However, the replay showed that it was a clear miscalculation, with Kilbane on the left side of the Everton penalty area dragging almost a metre in front of Drogba, offside only for Gudjohnsen, who was not involved in the attack.

'Chelsea were a little bit unlucky. The ESPN commentator said with some regret, "But it's their turn." ”

The Blues were unlucky, or God didn't want to let their path go too well. They couldn't count the number of shots on goal but couldn't find a goal, while Everton managed to keep the back of the net and the game was covered in the media after the game.

In an environment of collective 'hatred' of Chelsea in England, Everton seem to have become heroes. Despite their poor results, they are the only team other than Liverpool to have not lost to Chelsea in the first 10 rounds.

Coincidentally, Everton and Liverpool are the same city teams.

So the Liverpool media rejoiced, they shouted, "The team in London can only be restrained by Liverpool". Translated, "Liverpool's football can represent football in the north of England", and as for Manchester United or something, it was simply ignored.

The Manchester media were very unhappy and they started to fight back, "Manchester United haven't played Chelsea yet. ”

"The game is also a loss......

'That's impossible, Manchester United have a lot of stars.' Manchester Media.

"We have Zhang who scored a hat-trick against Chelsea!" Liverpool Media.

'We've got Wayne Rooney, we've got Cristiano Ronaldo. There's Ruud van Nistelrooy, lots and lots of stars! ”

'So what, Chelsea have a lot of stars, it's not a loss to Liverpool, it's just a draw against Everton. And Manchester ...... Manchester City seem to have lost. ”

“……”

The Manchester media are a bit passive, after all, Manchester United have not played Chelsea yet, and Manchester City have already lost to Chelsea first, so they are starting to look forward to the game between Manchester United and Chelsea. As long as Manchester United can win, it will not be the turn of these Liverpool media to be arrogant.

As for losing...... Is there anything else to say about that?

The war between the two cities of Liverpool and Manchester has begun again. However, the battle between the two cities has happened many times in a hundred years, which is a historical contradiction, and now the solution between the two cities is football.

Football in Manchester and football in Liverpool.

The football of the two cities basically represents the football of the north of England, and the war of words between the media of the two cities has also lasted for dozens of centuries.

……

Amid the media noise in Liverpool and Manchester, the Premier League ushered in the eleventh round. Liverpool's opponents are West Ham United and the match is played at Anfield.

West Ham United, who were promoted last season, returned to the Premier League in the summer, but will face a tough time staying here.

Since there is not much transfer fee. West Ham have only been able to sign a few free agents, and manager Alan Pardew will have to contend with a Premier League rival with limited resources.

In such a situation, it is not easy to have an unexpected appearance.

West Ham United is not bad, they are now ranked eleventh in the league, and they have been out of the relegation zone, which is better than many Premier League powerhouses, but this time they met Liverpool, and it was an away game, West Ham United table xiàn is quite tenacious, but unfortunately the difference in strength is still not small.

In the end, with the goals of Zhang Tiehan and Gerrard, Liverpool won the game cleanly.

This result is not surprising.

After the game, the media still paid attention to Zhang Tiehan, not his goals, nor his appearance in the game, but his private life - Zhang Tiehan and Lola appeared in front of the media camera together after the game, and the love and harmony between the two shocked the attention of many media.

"Zhang, how long have you been dating?"

"How did you meet?"

"Have you considered getting married?"

"How many children do you plan to have in the future?"

“……”

All kinds of media surrounded Zhang Tiehan and asked questions, Zhang Tiehan just smiled and hugged Lola, very intimately, and then introduced to reporters, "This is my girlfriend, Lola!" He said, gesturing to Lola's face, "Remember this face, my girlfriend!" ”

The eyes of the reporters were a little wooden.

Lola's face was red, rare, and she had a little ferocity on her face.

Just as Zhang Tiehan was about to laugh and say something, Lola twisted his waist and said fiercely in his ear, "What are you going to say!" ”

"Yes! Be! Zhang Tiehan laughed with him.

He was just about to make a statement about his loving relationship with Lola, and it ended before it began, which he felt a little sorry for, but he left with Lola anyway.

The two just disappeared in front of reporters.

After the two walked away, a group of reporters immediately reacted, looking for the photos just taken, and preparing to publish the news on the front page of the gossip, which also became the biggest news after this round. (To be continued......)
