While the whole Liverpool team is going all out to prepare for the upcoming European competition, the English league is also going on at the same time. After two rounds, Liverpool has won one and drawn one. （pm）

Despite a draw in two games, Liverpool remain firmly at the top of the table, for the simple reason that Liverpool's biggest rivals, Arsenal and Manchester United, have also had problems in both games.

Perhaps Arsenal also knows that according to the current form, it is difficult for them to win the league title, so they put all their energy into the Champions League, and the English league also hides most of the main players, which also led to Arsenal getting one draw and one loss after two games.

As for Manchester United, or want to compete with Liverpool, but Manchester City does not allow it, Manchester derby, Manchester City is stunned to rely on the whole crazy, beat Manchester United by one goal, and won the derby. This has also led to Manchester United's record of one win and one defeat.

Although Liverpool did not win all two games, according to the situation of Arsenal and Manchester United, Liverpool instead extended the lead by several points, which also made the whole Liverpool team more assured to prepare for the Champions League.

In this year's Champions League, there are no dark horses, perhaps in the top 16 of the knockout stage, there are still a few dark horse teams, but after a round, when the Champions League enters the quarterfinals, those so-called dark horses have also gone home.

In this year's quarterfinals, the English team once again smiled at Europe, Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal all successfully broke into the quarterfinals, as if to announce to the whole of Europe and the world that the rise of English football is imperative and no one can stop it.

The remaining five teams, La Liga's Barcelona and Real Madrid are impressively listed, Serie A's Milan is insisting on maintaining the honor of the declining world's first league, and the Bundesliga, only Bayern Munich is loyal to rely on their own efforts to prove the level of German football.

As for the quarterfinals, Liverpool and Barcelona collided, while Real Madrid met Arsenal, and it seems that English football and Spanish football are ready to compete in the Champions League. As for Manchester United, it is Inter Milan, while AC Milan is ready to beat Bayern Munich.

In this kind of matchup, it can be said that every team has the possibility of qualifying, but every team can also be eliminated. To be able to fight to this point is no longer a matter of strength, but of experience and preparation. In this case, AC Milan, a star with a lot of experience in major tournaments, seems to be the most likely to win the championship, and of course, the powerful offensive ability of the Galaxy Battleship is also something that no one can underestimate.

But no matter what. None of this is Liverpool's business at this point. Because Liverpool everyone. At this time, they all stayed quietly in the locker room. Listen to Lao Bei's final pre-war tactical arrangements. Because in a few more minutes. Liverpool are about to host Barcelona at home.

"How. Do you all understand? Who else doesn't understand what. There is still time to take advantage of the fact that there is still time. Hurry up and propose. "Five minutes. Lao Bei kept talking about the last thing that needed to be explained. When Lao Bei finished speaking. Still a little uneasy to ask.

Faced with the old Bedi asked. George and the others all shook their heads. Say you are clear and understood. There's nothing I don't understand.

Truly. The whole Liverpool team has been preparing for this game for the past few days. In training matches. Lao Bei and Thompson also kept roaring and reminding. A few days later. It's clear to everyone.

"OK~ Since that's the case. Then I don't have much to say. But everyone has to remember. This is Anfield. It's our Liverpool territory. Over here. We Liverpool are invincible. For victory. For the championship. For the sake of honor. For Liverpool. Take out Barcelona. ”

When I saw the team members, they all said there was no problem. Lao Bei also put down the tactical board in his hand. He looked at the players standing in front of him. Roaring loudly.

"Kill Barcelona!" Lao Bei's encouragement effect is still obvious, when Lao Bei's words were just finished, the Liverpool players who had long felt their enthusiasm were all yelling.

While the Liverpool players were still yelling in the dressing room, in another dressing room not far away, Rijkaard was also making the final arrangements for his disciples before the game.

"I would like to emphasize that Liverpool is very strong, really strong, not the so-called quasi-giants in the media's mouth, and it is still one step away from the real giants. Twice knocked out Juventus, eliminated Bayern Munich, defeated Manchester United and Arsenal, and is currently top of the English League. If such a team is still just a quasi-giant, then there is no giant club in this world. ”

Rijkaard admonished his players with a serious face that they should not underestimate Liverpool, otherwise they would suffer the most severe punishment.

No way, before Barcelona went to the UK, the Spanish media said that Barcelona would definitely be able to win Liverpool smoothly, although Liverpool's strength is good, but it is only a quasi-giant, and there is still some distance from the real giant. And Barcelona is a real giant, and its strength is naturally stronger than Liverpool, a quasi-giant, and it is natural to win against Liverpool.

Rijkaard was depressed, how to say that those reporters and the media are also old qualifications who have been doing sports work for many years, don't you know that anything can happen on the football field. Such a crazy tout of Barcelo

Low Liverpool, could it be that these media took Liverpool's black money, deliberately making Barcelona despise their opponents, and then they were eliminated.

It is precisely for this reason that Rijkaard has repeatedly emphasized the strength of Liverpool to his disciples, and even asked his own children to treat Liverpool as Real Madrid. You must know that there is only one team in the world that can make Barcelona pay the most attention, and that is Real Madrid.

"Bo you have said this more than ten times, don't worry, we understand what you mean, and we don't mean to despise Liverpool." Captain Puyol stepped forward and said to Rijkaard.

As soon as Puyol's words were finished, the other Barcelona players nodded their heads and said that they would never despise Liverpool, just like captain Puyol.

Listening to Puyol's words and looking at the expressions of his disciples, Rijkaard couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. No way, Rijkaard is under a lot of pressure this season, after all, Rijkaard is currently the head coach of Barcelona, you must know that Barcelona and Real Madrid, that is a team that claims to make the fans dissatisfied and win beautifully, even if you win more championships, it will be a team.

As a manager in such a team, the pressure on Rijkaard can be seen. What's more, this season, Rijkaard has just coached Barcelona, and he is not very familiar with the team and players, as well as the teams in La Liga, and the current situation of Barcelona in the league is very bad, which also makes Rijkaard more pressured.

If it weren't for the Catalan derby and the national derby, Rijkaard's Barcelona achieved a good record, I'm afraid Rijkaard would have been taken out of class a long time ago.

Don't think that the younger brother is talking nonsense, like this kind of thing, for Barcelona and Real Madrid, it is a normal thing, not surprising at all. Especially if the league results are not good, especially if you lose the national derby, then the position of the head coach may not be guaranteed at least seven floors.

Everyone can check this casually, because of the poor league results, the most important thing is the two teams of managers who were fired because of losing the national derby, not one or two. It doesn't matter if you win the league or not, but for both teams, the national derby is a game that you can't lose.

Rijkaard knows very well that according to the current La Liga standings and the next opponents, although Barcelona is currently in second place in La Liga, it is only less than four points away from the first Real Madrid. But there are a lot of tough bones in Barcelona's next games, and basically, Barcelona's next league road is very difficult.

Therefore, Rijkaard also put all his energy on the Champions League, Rijkaard knows very well that there is no hope for Barcelona in La Liga, since this is the case, it is better to put all his energy on the Champions League, if he can successfully win the Champions League, then his position can also sit firmly.

"Liverpool's style of play is very simple, that is, fast attacking and defensive counterattacks, from this you can see that Liverpool's defense is very strong, otherwise, Liverpool would not dare to play such tactics as defensive counterattacks. So my request is very simple, that is, when defending, you must pay attention to the opponent's breakthrough, when it is time to foul, don't hesitate, but when you foul, pay attention to the position, don't give the opponent a penalty and a threatening free kick. While attacking, you must keep passing the ball, relying on constant passing and attraction, tearing apart the opponent's backline and looking for opportunities to score. ”

"Hello everybody, welcome to Anfield, I'm an old friend, Moss, a big football fan, uh to be exact, a real Liverpool fan. Well, no more nonsense, because soon, the Champions League quarterfinals will be staged, and Liverpool will meet the challenge of La Liga Barcelona at home, so let's wait and see who can successfully advance. ”

As soon as Moss's words were finished, the entire Anfield stadium suddenly erupted in a frantic shout, and all the Liverpool fans raised their hands high, kept waving, and shouted Liverpool's name loudly. With the frantic shouts of the fans, a unified shout was gradually formed, as if to tell Moss that the only team that can successfully advance is Liverpool.

In the face of the enthusiastic Liverpool fans, the Barcelona fans who were compressed by the flames in a small area of the stadium did not show weakness, and shouted Barcelona's name one after another, but the more than 2,000 Barcelona fans seemed so small in front of tens of thousands of Liverpool fans.

"Hiji!" While the fans of both sides were still starting the rush of fan moments, the two teams had already arrived in the players' tunnel and began to prepare for the entrance.

In fact, from the time the Barcelona players appeared in the players' tunnel, George has been looking at Puyol, who is side by side with him, the captain of Barcelona, known as the little lion king, what is the difference.

Perhaps sensing George's gaze, Puyol also turned his head, and when he saw George looking at him, he couldn't help but smile and greet him first.

"Hi Joel, hello." Seeing Puyol actually greeting him, George couldn't help but be stunned, but he finally reacted in time, and also showed Puyol a smile, and said with a smile.

"Hehe, you can call me Kars.

George, Puyol said with a smile. But at this time, looking at the handsome face, Puyol wondered why he was not as handsome as George, otherwise, his female fans would probably increase countless times.

"Oh, okay, Kars, I'm sorry, you still need to call me George." Seeing that Puyol was so friendly that he could call him by his first name instead of his last name, George said with some embarrassment.

You must know that in Western countries, generally calling each other's surnames is just a polite salutation, but those who really have a good relationship generally only call each other by their names.

"Hehe, I know this." Hearing George's words, Puyol said with a smile.

You know, George is the captain of Liverpool, just by virtue of this, Barcelona has no reason not to look up George's information, not to mention that George's impact and goal rate as a striker are very terrifying, as Barcelona central defender Puyol, naturally has to pay special attention.

While looking at George's profile, George only likes to be called by his last name, not by his first name, and Puyol knows it, because he doesn't care.

"Huh, huh?" George smiled sheepishly. Damn, I didn't expect me to be so famous now, even Puyol, who is far away in Spain, knows this habit.

Thinking of this, George couldn't help but feel proud, knowing that being able to let an opponent know his habits is either crazy media reports or himself has been carefully observed and understood.

And George happens to not like to be in the limelight, rarely appears in front of the media, plus some unknown reasons, the media throughout Europe, basically rarely find trouble with George, just want to interview George, if George Bu accepts, he will definitely turn around and leave, and will not say anything in the next day's report, crazy belittlement and slander George.

Then there is only one possibility, and that is that Puyol did a detailed investigation of himself before coming to England. Thinking of this, George couldn't help but feel proud. You must know that the other party is the captain of Barcelona, the defender Puyol, in front of this world, I am afraid that no one can enter Puyol's eyes, let alone after a detailed investigation.

However, George seems to have forgotten that he has become one of the world's top strikers at this point, and Puyol will of course investigate himself and study his breakthrough and shooting habits in detail.

It seems that George's mentality has not yet changed, and he still looks very admired when he sees a star, but he rarely realizes that he is also a top star in the world.

It's not a matter of being young, it's about how well you play in the game, a player who can score goals in all competitions, who scored 20 goals last season, and who has not finished the league this season, has reached 17 goals, which is definitely the best striker in terms of performance and efficiency.

"Alright, gentlemen, it's time to get in." Just as George wanted to continue chatting with Puyol, the referee suddenly turned his head and reminded the players on both sides behind him, and walked into the field first.

After being reminded by the referee, Puyol and George reminded their teammates, and then followed closely behind the referee and walked into the stadium with their chests held high.

"Oh a pity, this Puyol is good, it would be nice to talk about it again." As he walked to the pitch, he looked like Puyol was kind and knew that he was used to it, so George couldn't help but want to talk to Puyol more.

Of course, Puyol looked very kind before the game, of course George would not take it seriously, or on the field, Puyol is indeed very kind, but on the field, Puyol is definitely a lion, if you don't let it, Puyol will not have the nickname of a little lion king, let alone be called a defensive warrior by others, not a defensive general.

Not to mention, Puyol also has the title of Desperate Saburo, and from this point alone, you can see how fierce Puyol is in the game, and he is definitely a killer-level character.

George thinks Puyol is kind, and he just thinks about things that have not yet started, because George knows very well that when the game officially starts, Puyol will show his fierce side like everyone.

Exchanging team flags, picking sides and balls, George had good luck today, continued to guess the right coin, picked the side, and Barcelona naturally kicked off.

At the referee's whistle, the game officially began, and after several passes, the ball came to the feet of Deco and began to slowly approach the Liverpool penalty area with the ball.

This time, Liverpool's formation is specially prepared for Barcelona's three-back formation, three defenders with good defensive strength, making it difficult for Barcelona's attack to break through the midfield for a while.

(To explain this, Gyuli came to Barcelona from Monaco a season early.) ）

However, Barcelona is obviously like Liverpool, training for Liverpool's attacking characteristics, George has just received a pass from Colwill, and before he can pass the ball to Owen on the side, he is cut off by Puyol.

Looking at Puyol's very ferocious sliding tackle, neatly cutting off the ball at his feet, George also shook his head helplessly, damn, strong and decisive enough.
