Leaders Manchester United was beaten by Liverpool, Mourinho did not let go of this good opportunity to chase points, with goals from Didier Drogba and Kalou, Chelsea beat Portsmouth, points tie Liverpool, because of the relationship between goal difference in third place, and Manchester United is only three points difference, with nine rounds of the league remaining, the league title race has become more intense.

Among the three giants, Manchester United has the best shape, they not only have three more points than Liverpool and Chelsea, but also 16 more than Liverpool and 19 more than Chelsea, the English points rule is to look at the goal difference first, the goal difference is the same and then look at the mutual record of the two sides, so as long as Liverpool and Chelsea can not catch up with the goal difference, Manchester United is equivalent to one more point than the two teams on the basis of three points.

In the previous round of the league, Manchester United drew 3 games and lost 4 games, according to this ratio, Manchester United in the last 9 games may also be a loss and a draw, if Manchester United only lose one draw, Liverpool and Chelsea must win all to win the title, which is a difficult task for both Liverpool and Chelsea.

However, the game can't be counted like this, in the early stage of the league, because the Champions League is only a group stage, the pressure is not great, and most of the attention of the giant teams is in the league, but now, the Champions League knockout round has begun, and the giant teams have to fight on both fronts, and the Champions League and the league can not be abandoned, so many small teams that occasionally enter the Champions League will be dragged down, even the giant teams with strong benches will be greatly affected, once there is a main injury, the impact will be even greater, like Chelsea, it is because of Terry's injury that Manchester United was thrown away in the league, If it weren't for Manchester United's double defeat by Arsenal, neither Chelsea nor Liverpool would have had a chance to compete for the title.

Liverpool have no time to rest after this round of key fixtures, and they will soon face La Liga giants Barcelona in midweek

In the first leg, Liverpool was a small upset, defeating the European dream team Barcelona 1 away, which also laid a solid foundation for their own promotion.

A team that wins away from home has a 1o chance of qualifying for the Champions League, and no team has yet been able to complete a comeback on the road with a home loss, which is a huge encouragement for Liverpool.

However, Barcelona has always been a team that can create a miracle, and they also have players who can create a miracle, such as Ronaldinho, Messi, Eto'o, Deco, these people are all famous stars in the world, and it is not impossible for them to score two goals against Liverpool away from home.

Besides, the reason why Barcelona lost to Liverpool away from home was not because they were not strong enough, but in large part because of their internal conflicts, not only problems at the top, but also between players and coaches, and even because of this, their ace scorer African Cheetah Eto'o could not play.

Now Barcelona has reached a critical moment of life and death, even if Barcelona is very conflicted, it will definitely unite with the outside world, and players like Eto'o who can play a decisive role will definitely not be put on the bench for a minute.

Liverpool are now having smooth sailing in the league and their league title hopes have been boosted by a win over Manchester United.

Although Liverpool has been longing for the league title for more than ten years, the initiative of the league is no longer in their own hands after all, in case Manchester United has won 9 consecutive games, Liverpool has no way to win all of them, so they will definitely not give up the Champions League, the highest level of competition in Europe.

In order to add double insurance to his promotion, Benitez will also make some off-the-market moves, after the game with Manchester United, "The Sun" suddenly broke the news that Liverpool wanted to buy Barcelona striker Eto'o, and has made an offer to Eto'o.

Eto'o has been in the news lately, but because Eto'o's agent is the Spaniard Wig, Wig has a close relationship with Liverpool's Spanish gang, and Eto'o is still in conflict with manager Rijkaard, and he didn't participate in the last game with Liverpool, so it's not impossible for Eto'o to join Liverpool.

And Benitez's agent, García Quillon, testified: "Barcelona have opened Samuel Eto'o to the English market, have received some offers, for Liverpool, but also for other clubs. Now Benitez is considering bidding 3ouu million for the Cameroonian in the summer. ”

However, Rafael Benitez's agent, Garcia Cuerón, believes that the Reds are bound to enter a fierce price war, because according to the British media, Barcelona will definitely "drive up prices". However, Garcia Queillon believes that after the American owner bought Liverpool, Benitez is not worried about the money, as long as Barcelona wants to let go, Liverpool to get Eto'o is not a problem.

Although the contradiction between Eto'o and Rijkaard is well known to the world, but the British provoked the internal relations of Barcelona and seduced Eto'o too obviously, under the instruction of the Barcelona club, the Spanish media "Daily Sport" immediately used an article "Eto'o said that he was very happy in Barcelona" as a "counterattack", Rijkaard also took the initiative to take Eto'o to participate in the press conference, and the two talked and laughed at the conference, looking united and harmonious like a family.

Although Rijkaard is calm on the surface, in reality the Dutch black swan is worried.

In the focus of this round of the standings, Sevilla fought against Barcelona and beat Barcelona by 1 point to win the leading position. Real Madrid, on the other hand, are still stagnant with a hard-fought draw at home to Getafe, and due to Atletico's defeat to Huelva in their last game, Real Madrid hold on to fourth place and are currently U points behind Sevilla.

Barcelona have had three major matches in the last seven days. The most important of these three games is the Champions Cup match against Liverpool, which will be played in the early hours of the 7th. The league still has a long way to go, it doesn't matter if it's 1 point behind, not to mention that the score is still acceptable, Barcelona won at home against Sevilla, and if the points are the same, the title will end up with Barcelona. The Copa del Rey has never been a priority for Barça, only the Champions League is the most important for Barça people with ambitions to dominate Europe. Zaragoza and Sevilla are currently the strongest opponents that Barcelona can find in La Liga, and it is also appropriate to use them to test the method of opposing Liverpool, so Barcelona played two sets of different contents in the two games34 The set is a midfield that emphasizes the dense middle of Zaragoza, Xavi, Iniesta and Deco in front and Marquez in the back. The other is a midfield with an emphasis on the wings of Sevilla, with only Xavi and Andres Iniesta in midfield, with Van Bronckhorst and Zambrotta in charge of the left and right passages, from full-backs to assist wingers. Barcelona has changed so much that Benitez can't guess what kind of medicine is being sold in his gourd.

The 433 is a formation that Rijkaard has never changed in the past four years in charge, but he has changed in the last two games, because against a heavily defended Liverpool, Barcelona must score goals to have a chance of qualifying.

For a game that has fallen behind before it starts, Rijkaard is no longer thinking about the balance of attack and defense, Barcelona is very confident in their offensive ability, but they don't trust their defensive ability, but in this away game, so in this round of the league, Barcelona appeared at the same time Giuli and Messi two wingers who are also breakthrough wingers. There was a goal in the opening minutes, even a goal, and beating the opponent is the effect he is looking for now. Defensively, the only centre-back to guard against counter-attacks was Puyol. The vast majority of Barcelona's defense will be set up in the front court, and the main means of counter-attacking is tactical fouls.

How much Samuel Eto'o and Messi can swing is the focus of Barca's reversal of Liverpool. Of Barcelona's four strikers, Samuel Eto'o and Messi are much more defensively capable than Ronaldo and Giuli. However, Messi has not dared to make large defensive moves in the last two games, so Eto'o is more important, his reckless running in the front court, crazy pressing will bring great benefits to Barcelona's defense.

Eto'o's role is so important, of course Rijkaard has to reconcile with him temporarily, and now Liverpool is actually using despicable means to sow discord between Eto'o and the team, and Rijkaard's counterattack is also normal.

Rijkaard said, "Barcelona lost the round because they didn't take their chances to kill Liverpool, not how well Liverpool played, and now that Samuel Eto'o is back and Messi is in better form than the last game, I believe we have a chance to beat Liverpool away from home to progress." ”

At this time, the Barcelona club hierarchy also stood up to support Rijkaard and Barcelona, Bekiristan said in an interview before leaving for Liverpool that he was sure that if Liverpool took a defensive position and blindly let Barcelona attack, his team could score two goals in a short period of time to move back to the disadvantage and finally qualify, he said: "If Liverpool are ready to use defense to secure the advantage in the first leg, it will be good for Barcelona." We have the ability to score two goals against them in a short period of time. ”

'Barcelona have to be efficient and at the same time have a fighting spirit and if we can break the ball in the opposition half it will be better.' Bekiristan also stressed: "In the Copa del Rey against Zaragoza in the first half and against Sevilla in the league, Barcelona played very well and lost the league because they didn't score a penalty. The atmosphere at Anfield was good, but Liverpool lost quite a few games there. If they can lose to Arsenal or Manchester United, why can't they lose to Barcelona? …… What Barcelona need to do is continue to maintain the style they have played in recent games. If there is an opportunity, you need to grasp it, Barcelona must score first, so that they can continue to put pressure on the opponent, and at the same time pay attention to protect their own penalty area, you need to be vigilant at all times, because there is a Chen Yu in the opponent's camp, he has broken our goal many times, and his defense must be in place, only by limiting him, we can win the final victory. ”

Everyone on Earth knows that Barcelona's biggest fear is a counter-attack, and Beckyristan is just trying to provoke Benitez and the Liverpool players so that the duel can play out in Barcelona's preferred way. However, Benitez has always acted very steadily, and it is hard to say how effective Begiristan's agitation method can be.

Benitez was not in the mood or energy to study Barcelona before playing Manchester United, and now that Manchester United is finished, Benitez immediately began to study the movements of Barcelona in these two rounds.

In the two games against Zaragoza and Sevilla, Barcelona's biggest change is to let Giuli and Messi play at the same time, with the left foot Messi playing an unfamiliar left winger, and Ronaldo going to play a backward center, this kind of winger position is more convex than the center forward position, which is currently very rare, and it was Real Madrid's dominant European style of play in the fifties and sixties. Eto'o played only 1o minutes with Ronaldo in both games, and it can be seen that Rijkaard did not fully show Barca's quality, and getting Messi to adapt to the left winger was key in both games. Once Samuel Eto'o comes on, Barca's extreme attacking style of play will certainly be sharper.

However, Rijkaard's tricks can't hide Benitez, although Benitez is not as good as Rijkaard in terms of kicking, but in terms of tactics, Benitez is at least twice as good as Rijkaard.

So after studying Barcelona's last few games, Benitez became more confident, he said at the press conference that Barcelona is a strong team, but he is very familiar with Barcelona, and Barcelona is not so familiar with Liverpool, which is the reason for Liverpool's away win, in response to Rijkaard said that Liverpool played badly, Benitez said that at home Anfield, Liverpool will not give Barcelona a chance, "I am familiar with them, although they have practiced the 343 formation in the league, But I don't think Barcelona will use the 343 formation because they are afraid of our attacking power, if they dare to use 34 we can contain their sharp knives, just like we have contained Manchester United, our forwards can also beat their back line into a sieve, here Barcelona has no hope of going out with a win, now we are stronger than when we won the title in O5. ”

Although Rijkaard respects Benitez very much, Benitez's words are very hurtful, and if Rijkaard does not fight back in this case, it will definitely affect the morale of the team and fans, so Rijkaard also said in an interview with reporters, "I feel honored to play against a coach who knows everything. But smart people understand this: the more you know, the more you realize that you don't know anything. The problem with Barcelona is that they don't play well at home, so there is nothing to lose, they have to attack. Liverpool have to face the home fans and the pressure is on their side, not on our side. Now Liverpool fans and the media believe that they have a good chance of qualifying, and this is an opportunity for Barcelona. Liverpool's style of play will not change, recovering the back and looking for counter-attacks, and Barcelona's only way is to attack. There are many possibilities for whether or not to play 34, but no matter which style of play, the most important thing is that the whole team acts in unison, because any style of play is based on the unity and harmony of the whole team. ”

At the moment, the squad is strong and Benitis is confident for Tuesday's game, and he is not going to fight Rijkaard, but wants to show his strength to the fullest, "Compared to the team that won the European Championship in O5, we have not only lost nothing, but have improved. I think the O5 team table is very good, knowing that it is difficult to win against Olympiaks, Bayer Leverkusen, Juventus and Chelsea in a row, they are all top teams. There may be people who will say, 'Luck,' But I have to say luck is only one or two games, not all games. For me, beating Barcelona means you can beat all the top teams. “

While preparing for the game, Barcelona's players also did not forget to launch a psychological warfare offensive. Samuel Eto'o, Xavi and Ronaldinho have expressed confidence that they will complete the comeback on the road.

In particular, Ronaldinho, as the head of Barcelona, he has also been attacked the most by the English media and fans, and a few days ago, a British betting site spoofed the image of Ronaldo, in a promotional poster, Ronaldo's head was placed on the body of an obese sumo wrestler. "Xiao Luo"** sagging, and his belly is full of fat. Behind him is a picture of Gudjohnsen and Eto'o dressed as armed men. The theme is a pun on "patau" no chance), which satirizes both Ronaldo and Barcelona.

The "Sun" in England continued to break the negative news about Ronaldinho, and the reporter used photo comparison in the newspaper to show the fact that Xiao Luo was fat. And sarcastically said: "Xiao Luo is still a heavyweight in the team, but his own weight has a problem. The "Daily Mail" also broke the news that Xiao Luo's weight has been marked with 7 kilograms. In addition, Ronaldo has only participated in a third of the team's training sessions this season, and after the weight problem was exposed by the media, he does not plan to change his eating habits, he still eats barbecue every day, and the Tramanti restaurant opened by the Italian Lombardo brothers is also Ronaldo's favorite place to go.

And Liverpool fans spoofed Ronaldinho's image on the Internet, caricaturing Ronaldinho, grinning happily, his huge body is very exaggerated, and he also bare his breasts, like a bloated fat woman.

Ronaldinho was very angry about this, he deliberately showed his chest and abs after a training session to prove that he was still strong, and said that he wanted to score at Anfield, this is his dream, he must achieve it, and now that the opportunity comes, he will not let Liverpool go. ”

However, Ronaldinho wants to use the facts to prove that he is not fat, but although the facts cannot be as reported in the newspapers, Ronaldinho is indeed fat, at least not comparable to two years ago.
