Section 402 The Fall of the Tough Guy

Chelsea's 3-1 defeat to Liverpool has become the biggest news in English football.

In fact, the game didn't mean much - after the game, Chelsea were still three points ahead of Arsenal, and Liverpool were still hanging in the air, full of standings, and there was no change in either side.

And to say that it is not commemorative. It wasn't the first time Chelsea had lost, the defeat to Manchester City was their first defeat. And it wasn't the first time Liverpool had won against Chelsea, having not lost in recent years.

But this game still has a lot of significance. After all, Chelsea have won a series of big wins since the tenth round, which is extremely suffocating to watch. United lost, Arsenal's lead was levelled and the whole of England was shouting that Chelsea were a strong and unbeatable team – but at Anfield, a team that was considered invincible was beaten by Liverpool.

What will Mourinho say after the game? This is also a topic of concern for journalists. Jose Mourinho has been their favourite since he came to the Premier League: this man has an amazing amount of nonsense, and he talks to the media when he has nothing to do, such a person is naturally the favorite of the media.

But at the post-match press conference, Mourinho did not pursue the penalty as the journalist had imagined. In this game, the object of his complaint, not the penalty.

'Chelsea only have seventeen men to play at the moment and we don't have enough depth in our squad to cause our failures. And it's just luck that they can win, it's a game they win by luck. ”

Benitez did not disagree with his statement, "We did win by luck, but luck is also spelled out. ”

With his statement, Liverpool players naturally don't feel uncomfortable psychologically. How did it turn into luck when you finally won a game?

But in this case, they didn't say much, after all, now that they have won, they don't want to think about those superfluous things.

But Benitez is okay to say that, after all, he is the manager and he has contributed a lot to the team's victory. But Owen said the same thing in an interview, which upset the Liverpool players.

"It's just luck that Liverpool can win." Owen was also a little embarrassed that what he said to himself was overturned so quickly, but in front of the media, he was still strong, "Anyone is lucky, this time Liverpool is obviously lucky." ”

As a former star of the team, he didn't give face to the team when he spoke, and it also made the whole Liverpool scold the street. Even Zhao Yaning, who has always been good-tempered, couldn't stand it at this time.

"Everybody has their luck, yes, like Irving, who was lucky enough to win the Ballon d'Or." Zhao Yaning also spoke to the media, "But there is no strength, no luck, such as Owen, no matter how lucky, it can only be the part of Real Madrid covering the bench." ”

Zhao Yaning opened his mouth to push Owen, making Owen a little speechless.

"It's just a soft egg." In the locker room, everyone was also scolding Owen, "Why did God give him talent." ”

After scolding him, there was another thing, which made Zhao Yaning a little surprised, "Why is this time, the Chelsea manager is so easy to speak, he usually scolds people very well, why didn't he say anything this time?" ”

"He doesn't care about arguing with us." Carragher replied, "He's forcing the Russian tyrant to pay for him." ”

Mourinho is now also thinking about getting some money to buy people again in the winter transfer period, so he is also using the media to create an image of Chelsea's lack of manpower, forcing Abobou to pay for it.

Compared with such big things as improving the team lineup, arguing or something is not a thing. Mourinho is a person who can distinguish priorities, so he will not be at this time, and he only cares about bickering.

"Speaking of reinforcements, we should bring in reinforcements too, right?"

Although this game was won, Liverpool had a lot of problems. Xavi Alonso and Reese, who retired injured in the game, Reese was okay, only a slight sprain, but Alonso's problems were huge.

Broken ankle and three months out of action – such a thing, for Liverpool, is like a basin of cold water poured on the head.

"How the hell did he hold on and kick for six minutes after he broke a bone? The bones are broken, and he can still endure the pain and kick for six minutes? After the game, Gerrard admired Alonso, "They Chelsea, Manchester United, always boast of being iron-blooded and tough guys, but that is not an expert in fake falls? It's all soft eggs that are humming on the ground and can't get up for a long time after being touched. Harvey is a real tough guy. ”

Zhao Yaning does not object to this. There are only two Basques he knows, both Deschamps and Alonso, who are enough to be called models of tough guys. In Zhao Yaning's view, whether he is a tough guy or not is not determined by being rude to others, and he who is ruthless to himself and is not afraid of strong enemies is the real good man.

"If I knew it was like this, I would be fighting against Chelsea." Zhao Yaning complained about this constantly, "If you lose, you lose, and in the next three months, we can always win back." ”

"It's three months, but it's more than a dozen rounds." Carragher also lamented this, "The League Cup, FA Cup, and Champions League will all be missing...... How is this game played? ”

Just as Alonso's injury was confirmed, another serious injury to Liverpool was also confirmed, with Colwill suffering a groin strain and being sidelined for another month.

Nunez, Kirkland, Smitchell, Gerrard, Garcia, Colwill, Baros, and now Alonso, this season, Liverpool's players are a strong endless injury suspension, and it is a miracle that they can survive until now.

And this time it's time for the winter transfer, and it's finally time for Liverpool to think about bringing in players.

"I've heard that we don't have much money this time." For this transfer, Hyypia knows more details, "There are still a lot of positions for the team, and this time, it may be really troublesome." ”

Liverpool do have a lot of problems right now: Henjoz can't be trusted by Benitez, he's ready to transfer, Liverpool doesn't even have a backup at the back, and they have to buy one anyway.

And after Corkland's injury, Liverpool's goalkeeper substitute is gone. Buying a goalkeeper is also what Liverpool must do.

And then there is a position, which is naturally the forward position that has been shouted for half a season.

In all three positions, Benitez has found a candidate.

At the back, Benitez wants to bring in Valencia defender Manuel Pellegrino - as a backup defender, he is not worth much, and it should not be difficult to buy him.

As for the goalkeeper position, because Corkland has been injured for three months, Liverpool also need to buy someone. Benitez fell in love with Leeds United's 19-year-old goalkeeper Carson, who is England's main goalkeeper for the U21s, and his strength is okay. And now that Leeds United are on the decline, he would love to make a transfer.

In the forward position, Liverpool's recruitment is a big problem. Benitez has eyed three candidates who can play as strikers for Liverpool, and now they are in a lot of trouble.

The best signing Benitez can think of is Real Madrid's Morientes. But the problem is that Real Madrid let him play in the Champions League, and he can't play in the Champions League for Liverpool. And the transfer fee proposed by Real Madrid is also high, and Liverpool is only willing to give 3.5 million euros, which is really impossible to buy.

The second person is Manchester City's striker Nicolas Anelka.

He is also dissatisfied with Manchester City's results now and wants to change teams. Not only is he better, but he's also better adapted to the Premier League and, most importantly, he's also able to play in the Champions League. It's also important for Liverpool.

In addition to them, the other candidate is Crystal Palace's goalscorer Andy Johansen. However, in an interview, he made it clear that he was more interested in Everton than Chelsea.

"Liverpool are really down, even Everton can compete with us for players." In this regard, Hyypia sneered, "If you want to go, let him go, without him, Liverpool will not lose to Everton." ”

In fact, Hyypia understands why some people are now staring at going to Everton more than Liverpool - after Everton sold Rooney, the money in their hands has not been spent, and now, they can open a big contract, and naturally many people are worried about it.

But such a player who only aims at money, Hyypia still looks down on it.

But in the subsequent games, Liverpool found that it was really impossible not to bring in reinforcements.

In the 22nd round, against Norwich, Liverpool still kept their luck. Just two minutes into the opening game, Liverpool picked up a chance in vain: Norwich's goalkeeper, England's young international Green, made a mistake at the kick-off and threw the ball directly at the feet of Zhao Yaning.

Faced with such an opportunity, Zhao Yaning naturally would not be polite to him. He accelerated into the box and then gave the ball to Milito with a cross kick, allowing Milito to add a goal.

"If Green's butter hand problem is not changed, he will not want to be the main player in the England national team."

Martin Taylor was a little speechless about such a ball. But he was speechless, and Green didn't care: the England national team is all butter hands, as long as I'm not worse than them.

However, the game that I thought there was no problem was extremely unfavorable to Liverpool's situation. In the second half, Huckby hit Carragher's arm with a cross and the referee blew a penalty.

Norwich didn't waste their chances either, scoring straight into the net.

After the 1-1 draw, Liverpool found another chance to play there, and this time, Riese's long ball went straight to Garcia to give Liverpool the lead again, and the score became 2-1.

In the 64th minute, Norwich captain Fleming made another mistake and passed to Zhao Yaning's feet again, Zhao Yaning's direct and powerful shot was blocked by Green with one hand, but Rieser, who successfully grabbed the point, kicked the ball into the door with a supplementary shot.

But I thought it was already a winning game, but in the 88th minute, there was a change. England Under-19 Jarvies came off the bench to receive a pass in the box and cut inside to send the ball into the back of the net.

The game ended 3-2 and Liverpool's Christmas schedule was over. Four wins and 12 points were all started, so that Liverpool had a pretty good time this Christmas.

It's just that, having said that, after Liverpool is without Alonso, it is true that the problem is becoming more and more prominent. The matter of reinforcement is indeed imperative.

And on January 5, Liverpool finally welcomed their first player: Manuel Pellegrino joined Liverpool. u(8) Update the fastest reading network
