Chelsea is also the winner of this round, after they beat Wigan Athletic 2-0, although the difference with Liverpool has not changed, but it has narrowed the gap between Arsenal and Manchester United to within one game, which is important for Chelsea, who has not yet recovered from the change of manager, Chelsea has not been able to shake Liverpool's top position for the time being, if they can surpass the city rival Arsenal and Manchester United in the previous two years will also greatly boost the team's morale and improve the team's cohesion.

After the game, Liverpool manager Benitez was very satisfied with the game, he said that Blackburn is a very strong team, the recent form and record are better than Manchester United and Chelsea, it is not easy to win away from home, the players played well, especially Chen Yu, he showed the style and role of a superstar, and was the key to Liverpool's victory.

As the results of the World Footballer of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or are getting closer and closer, Benitez also expressed his support and blessings to the media for Chen Yu, "In the past year, no matter what Chen Yu's state is, as long as he is on the field, he is the key figure who decides the outcome of the victory, and his performance is fully worthy of a Golden Ball Award, I believe that football is fair, Chen Yu will be the world's No. 1 person this year, which is also what he deserves." ”

Chelsea's opponent Wigan Athletic is not strong, but it is not easy to catch up with Arsenal and Manchester United at the same time, and it is not a common thing, in this regard, manager Grant believes that Chelsea has returned to normalcy and once again entered the ranks of contenders for the league title, "Now we are only three points away from Arsenal and Manchester United, and the gap with Liverpool is five points, such a gap is no longer desperate, the season has just passed less than a third, anyone can make mistakes, and the points leader must have the initiative, But whether we win the championship or not, the fate is still in our own hands. ”

Chelsea and Liverpool have benefited, but Manchester United and Arsenal have not suffered much, the two teams are similar in quality and form, and both are title rivals, and a draw is actually a good result for both sides. So even knowing that Liverpool and Chelsea had won, Ferguson and Arsene Wenger didn't care.

After the game, the English media commented on the Red Devils and the Gunners battle, thinking that after 12 rounds, the Premier League finally returned to the original order again, after Arsenal took Henry, all of them were home-ghosts, Manchester United started like, Chelsea had a change of coach in the middle, only Liverpool's strength is undiminished, and it is very stable, many reporters and celebrities think that this season's Liverpool possibility Mourinho coached Chelsea in the second year, and he rode the dust early, but he didn't expect that after 12 rounds, Arsenal's youngsters staged a storm of youth, the momentum is even stronger than Liverpool, no matter how long they can last, now they are indeed one of the favorites to win the championship, although Manchester United started very poorly, but Sir Alex Ferguson is really sophisticated, in the case of extreme difficulties, he tried hard to defend, stabilized the situation with n games 1-0, did not collapse, and gave up the League Cup, and finally waited for the return of Ronaldo and Rooney, and they also returned to the championship team.

Compared with Arsenal, the most surprising thing is Chelsea, Henry left during the transfer, although it had a great impact on the Gunners, but after all, Professor Wenger has been prepared, but Chelsea's soul coach Jose Mourinho left halfway, Chelsea was not prepared at all, everyone thought they collapsed, but they didn't expect that they relied on an assistant coach to stabilize the situation, and now they are back in the team business of competing for the title.

Now the top four of the Premier League standings are still the original top four, the gap between the top and fourth place is only 5 points, as long as one or two mistakes, the score will immediately catch up, that is to say, this season is still the pattern of the top four to compete for the title, if there is anyone who can threaten the position of the top four of the Premier League, then there are only a few chances such as Manchester City, Everton, Blackburn, etc., but from the past Premier League rankings, the hope of an upset is very small.

If Arsenal is a surprise, then Liverpool is stable and terrifying, or Chen Yu's stability is terrifying, since Chen Yu joined Liverpool, his goals in attack have never been abnormal, an average of one goal per game, and rarely icing on the cake, mostly in the snow, which makes Chen Yu's goals more valuable.

Under the leadership of Chen Yu, Liverpool has also become extremely strong, and has been at the top of the table from the beginning of this season, the only criticism may be that it did not win in the game with Arsenal and Chelsea like last season, but considering that the opponent's defense of Chen Yu has doubled the intensity compared to last season, Liverpool has not made good use of Chen Yu's opportunity to attract defense and attack, such a result is also acceptable.

"The Times" said that Liverpool with Chen Yu is unsolvable, no one can prevent Chen Yu, and Liverpool's defensive interception ability is first-class in the Premier League, it is so difficult to win such a Liverpool, so far Liverpool has not tasted defeat in all competitions, which shows that the opponent is not capable of breaking through Liverpool's defense when defending against Liverpool's attack, which is more terrible than a winning streak.

"The Sun" believes that Liverpool does not have the same state as the mad demon in the second half of last season, that is because the opponent knows Chen Yu better, but Liverpool's state is more stable, as long as Chen Yu is there, the game that should be won will never miss, and the evenly matched game is at least guaranteed not to lose, which is very scary in the league This kind of system, if there is no large-scale injury trouble, Liverpool basically defended the title this season.

Liverpool's own mouthpiece "Liverpool Echo" is not as crazy as other media, they routinely praise Liverpool's victory and the player's excellent performance, began to find fault with Liverpool, thinking that although the current Liverpool seems to be inexplicable, but too dependent on Chen Yu, before Chen Yu came, Liverpool broke the deadlock by Gerrard, and now even the Liverpool team is a little dependent on Chen Yu's goals, which is not a good thing for Liverpool, once Chen Yu has an injury and ban, the back will be dangerous, Referring to Chen Yu's ban at the beginning of the game, Liverpool was unable to win several rounds of playing weak teams.

"Liverpool Echo" believes that Liverpool in addition to relying too much on Chen Yu in goals, in the organization and scheduling of the backfield also rely too much on Alonso, without Alonso's Liverpool midfield can only steal, can not reasonably share the ball, so the attack depends more on Chen Yu and Gerrard's personal ability, if the other midfielders can not stand up, Liverpool's will play more and more difficult.

Finally, the "Liverpool Echo" believes that Liverpool also lacks a good substitute in the position of central defender, and the combination of Carragher and Aager is absolutely world-class, but once one of these two cannot play, whether it is the genuine central defender Hyypia or the cameo Aurelio can not reach the average level of the Premier League, which is Liverpool's biggest hidden danger.

In fact, Liverpool is very clear about his own problems, but the current Chen Yu is too rebellious, and although Liverpool's central defender problem is a hidden danger, Liverpool's midfield has a strong interception ability, which can make up for the lack of the backline.

After the 12th round of the league, it is the Champions League group stage in midweek, this is the fourth round of the game, this round Liverpool has to face the opponent Besiktas just played two weeks ago again, in the away field, Liverpool won hard, the game process is very ugly, because the opponent's strength is too poor, such a process makes Liverpool's players and fans deeply ashamed, this time they play Besiktas at home, every Liverpudlian is holding their breath to give Besiktas players a little bit of power.

In the past three rounds of games, Porto won two draws, accumulated 5 points, Liverpool won two and drew 7 points, and Liverpool has an away game with Marseille behind, Liverpool wants to win the first place in the group is not nine out of ten, at least against Besiktas they must get three points, and even more goal difference, so as to ensure that even if the performance is abnormal, they can also get the first place in the group.

Besiktas lost all three of their previous games, not only has no hope of qualifying from the group, but also has no hope of even the League Cup, Besiktas's previous three away games in England Island have lost two, including the 00/01 season with Leeds United 0-6 defeat swallowed the club's worst defeat in Europe. This Champions League group stage away from home to Liverpool is almost as little like travel for them.

Although the opponent is weak, but because of the difficult away game, Liverpool still played with all the main force in this game, and sent Chen Yu, Crouch and Kuyt's three forward combination.

Although Liverpool were keen to vent their frustration away from home with a big win, Besiktas almost gave Liverpool a little color at the start of the first half.

In the second minute, Crouch made a mistake in front of the pass, Besiktas immediately launched a quick counterattack, Delgado crossed from the right, and Sedif fell to the ground five meters from the goal to tackle, but unfortunately the shot was not perfect, and the ball hit the side netting and went wide.

In the 7th minute, Reeser crossed from the left, and Crouch's header from 8 meters went wide. Two minutes later, after Benayoun and Finnan combined on the right side, Benayoun broke into the box with the ball, but unfortunately the last kick was too powerful, and the ball was protected by Uzulmez from the bottom line.

After a succession of wasted shots, Liverpool finally broke the deadlock in the 19th minute.

Gerrard rolled the ball from the left side of the midfield, E-Cisse fell to the ground and tackled just to form the ball, Crouch faced the defense of Uzulmez and his left-footed shot was blocked by Alican, and Chen Yu then scored with a left-footed volley from 6 meters on the left side to rewrite the score to 1:0.

All 40,000 Liverpool in the audience stood up and chanted Chen Yu's name in unison.

One minute later, Alonso's hanging goal in the right corner of the penalty area was deflected by Alicanto, and then Riser received a powerful header from the middle of the corner and was cleared by Uzurmez's head on the edge of the post.

The commentators at the scene chanted that Chen Yu was the new king of Liverpool at this time, and Anfield also sounded Chen Yu's name again.

In the 44th minute, Gerrard's free kick from 32 yards out was powerful and low wide of the near post. In the first half of the game, Liverpool led Besiktas 2-0 into the half-time break.

Besiktas made a substitution at the start of the second half, bringing on Tandogan for Ozkan, but it didn't work.

In the 53rd minute, after Reeser and Chen Yu cooperated on the left side, the Norwegian's powerful shot was blocked by Alikan, and Benayoun pushed the empty goal with his right foot 6 meters in front of the goal to rewrite the score to 3:0.

At this moment Besiktas has been beaten to the ground, and the game has turned into a one-sided slaughter.

In the 64th minute, Gerrard received a pass from Babel and burst into the penalty area and his left-footed shot was blocked by Alikan, and Babel shot into the near corner and was blocked by Alican.

In the 69th minute, Gerrard cooperated with Chen Yu, Gerrard knocked a pass with his back heel, Chen Yu inserted a right-footed shot on the edge of the big penalty area, the ball bounced to the ground and flew into the net, the score became 5:0, and Chen Yu scored a hat trick.

At this moment, the fans in the audience no longer sang the team song "You Will Never Walk Alone", but began to chant Chen Yu's name non-stop.

At this time, there was no suspense about the outcome of the game, and the head coach Benitez was considering whether to replace Chen Yu, but he saw that Chen Yu was very positive about scoring goals today, and Benitez decided to ask Chen Yu later.

Benitez didn't expect his decision to work a miracle.

In the 72nd minute, Gerrard's left rib was widely transferred, Benayoun took the ball and crossed, Chen Yu turned sideways and knocked with his right heel 4 meters from the goal to rewrite the score to 6-0, and he himself scored the fourth goal of the game and completed a big hat trick.

This goal has equalled the previous record for a Champions League goal difference set and held by Juventus (7-0 Olympiax in 2003) and Arsenal (7-0 Slavia Prague this season), and is the most Liverpool have scored since Benitez took over.

At this moment, the Anfield stadium has gone crazy, all the fans are crazy for Chen Yu, they almost worship like a god, scoring 5 goals in 75 minutes, Chen Yu's performance today is absolutely god-like.

Benitez was so excited that he immediately put Volenin on the pitch to replace Chen Yu and let him be bowed by the more than 40,000 fans in the stadium.

At this moment, the Anfield stadium was like a volcanic eruption and a tsunami, everyone stood up, rushed to the guardrail frantically, waved to Chen Yu and shouted, some fans even jumped off the guardrail to chase and hug Chen Yu, but were quickly caught by the security guards and taken out of the stadium.

Although Chen Yu left the field, Liverpool's attack did not stop, and it seemed that they were going to set a record today. In the 83rd minute of the game, Besiktas finally had a chance to shoot inside the woodwork, Bobo headed hard, but it was easily confiscated by Liverpool goalkeeper Reina because the angle was too positive.

In the 84th minute, Babbel received a pass from the left side of Colwill and hit the goal with a header from 5 meters, and the ball hit the lintel and bounced.

In the 89th minute, it looked like there was no hope of breaking the record, but it was at this moment that Benayoun crossed from the right and Wallenen jumped up from five yards unguarded to head home twice. In the end, Liverpool swept Besiktas 8-0 at home, setting a record goal difference in a single game in the Champions League, and Chen Yu also set a single-game goal record in the Champions League with five goals, helping Benitez write a new chapter in his 50th appearance in the Champions League with the Reds.
