U8 Update Fastest Reading Network Although the pre-match preparations are very positive, but when it comes to the Champions League game, looking at Liverpool's lineup, few people can laugh.

Alonso is still injured, and Gerrard is also suspended due to the accumulation of yellow cards in this game, and a pair of main midfielders cannot play. And Morientes and Pelagrino have both played Champions League games with Valen at Real Madrid, and they are also not allowed to play. Although Colwill's timely return can be regarded as relieving some pressure on Liverpool, but even so, Liverpool is still the most unsettling one when the Premier League semi-finals play in the Champions League.

While Manchester United face a strong Milan, Arsenal face Bayern Munich and Chelsea face Barcelona, Liverpool arguably have the easiest schedule in comparison. But considering Liverpool's squad problems, it is they who are the most underestimated.

Most of the media's predictions are that Liverpool can get a 0-0 draw to be considered a victory, after all, the current Liverpool, the problem is a bit big, and most of the English celebrities believe that Liverpool should draw at home, and when it comes to the away game, wait for Gerrard to play and then strive for victory.

However, Liverpool are not without their advantages: Júnior's defensive headers are a huge problem, and Bayer Leverkusen, who are used to playing 352, had to play Juan and Júnior as double centre-backs in this game due to Novotny's injury, while Schneider and Placentt also dropped back to play in a 442 formation.

Such a change in formation has become Liverpool's biggest chance to win.

'We'll win, even if we don't have Gerrard, but we still have Zhao Yaning, and we can go far in the Champions League.' In interviews with the media, Benitez also expressed his determination. But most of the media don't accept it. At least, in the eyes of the English media, Zhao Yaning has not played well in the Champions League this year.

"After all, Zhao Yaning is not in the state when he played in the Champions League last year. Last year, Zhao Yaning scored four goals in the group stage of the Champions League, won great honor for himself, and also attracted the attention of the whole Europe. But this year, the group stage is over, he has participated in five games, five games have passed, Zhao Yaning has only scored two goals, his Champions League goal efficiency is much less than last year, the number of entries in the entire group stage is not as much as Rooney's first game in the Champions League, he is no longer the same as last year, the performance of the Ballon d'Or is not able to appear every year, whether he can become Liverpool's dependence is still difficult to say. ”

"A hat-trick by Wayne Rooney, are they going to say a year?" Zhao Yaning looked at such words, and really felt a little powerless. These English media, sometimes really annoying. How long has it been, and I still talk endlessly.

Yes, the hat-trick is awesome – but it's not on the lips every day. Haven't Manchester United faced enough underdogs in the Champions League? Ruud van Nistelrooy has brushed eight in the group stage, who knows how many he will end up with? But what does such a goal do? What kind of ability is it to be powerful in the group stage.

"A year? Are you underestimating the English media? Carragher sneered, "He can eat this for the rest of his life, believe it or not?" ”

Carragher has never had a good opinion of the media. His English pronunciation has a strong accent, so the media often ridicules him for this incident. Sometimes, when the British media came to interview him, they even took the trouble to bring an interpreter with him - it is strange that he has a good impression of the media.

Zhao Yaning shook his head with a wry smile, and stopped talking about him, "Do you think the tactics the coach said are really feasible?" ”

"The midfielder is stubborn, attacking from set-pieces? Anyway, it's all chicken stealing tactics, what's the difference? Carragher shrugged, "You don't have to worry, it doesn't matter if you steal or not, we will definitely be able to hold it in the backfield." When Stephen comes back in the next away game, we have a good chance. ”

In this game, the tactics arranged by Benitez were a very helpless defensive counterattack tactics. It can even be said that even the counterattack, Benitez did not arrange much. After all, without Gerrard and Alonso in the midfield, Liverpool's midfield counterattack will definitely not be very fluent, so Benitez simply decided to let Liverpool defend to the death, and then the goal in the front field relied on Zhao Yaning's set-piece ability to sneak attack. Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't steal it, anyway, this is the home field, and the defense can't be a problem, it's a big deal, just go to the away side to turn the tables.

It's just that this kind of tactic is really a bit obscene, the defense relies on people, and the offensive set-pieces, this kind of tactical arrangement, Zhao Yaning blushed when he said it.

"You can't trust me......" Zhao Yaning smiled bitterly at Carragher's words.

"I'm trying to decompress you!" Carragher glared at Zhao Yaning, "No matter what I say, the captain is also here on the field." ”

"You just don't have to say a word and think about how to defend. Isn't that Berbatov said to be very powerful? You can think about him, the attack and the goal of the front, just leave it to me. Luis Garcia also spoke.

"Yes, Berbatov, Voronin, Franza, Ponte, Freier, Krenovak, Donovan - compared to 2002, Leverkusen may be worse, but there are a lot of strong players, you still have to be careful."

Zhao Yaning's advice made Carragher sigh, "In 2002, we were one step behind. If it hadn't been for the manager to replace Hamann and the midfield without a defence, and let Ballacmon go in, maybe we would have passed. It would have been nice if we had reached the final of the Champions League in 2002......"

"Memories are a fart? Let's kick it in and it's over. Garcia retorted.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Carragher smiled, "However, you are also an extremely important part of the tactics that the coach said, can you?" ”

"Isn't it just anti-offside? What's so hard about it? Garcia nodded, "Bundesliga teams like to play offside when they defend, this kind of game, that's when I play a role, Joey, as long as your pass is in place, I will definitely not disappoint." ”

I hope so. Zhao Yaning muttered in his heart, let me see how far I can go in this year's Champions League-

Liverpool's lineup in this game is still a accustomed 451.The backfield is still Dudek goalkeeper, Finnan, Carragher, Hyypia, Reese as the back, Garcia, Zhao Yaning, Colwill, Biscayne, Hamann as the midfield, and the front court is against Milito, who has lost his main position in the league.

Leverkusen, on the other hand, has not changed much in the front, except for the adjustments made at the back. In midfield, Ramirao was the main midfielder, with Freier, Ponte and Kì Novik in front, and Berbatov and Voronin in the front.

The strength of this Bayer Leverkusen team is still quite good, at least in this year's Bundesliga, they played a 4-1 defeat to Bayern Munich, Berbatov scored two goals and one assist in the game, performed well, and also made a name for himself.

The famous Bundesliga striker, because of his tall stature, delicate skills, good foot work at the same time, is not at a loss in figure, therefore, he is also considered to be the representative of the new generation of strikers in the Bundesliga, and some people even compare him with Ibrahimovic of Serie A, thinking that they are both representatives of the future technical xìng center forward in European football. Because of his chic style of play, beautiful football, and his appearance also reveals a star temperament, Berbatov is also rumored to be associated with many giants.

And the Champions League game is also regarded as a stage for him to prove himself. After all, this player, when he usually plays, has been accused by the media of not playing seriously, not focusing enough, and not running enough. It is also unknown whether he will be able to perform well in the competition, and his performance in this game is also the concern of many teams.

In these two legs, Liverpool played home and away. This time, they faced their opponents at Anfield. As soon as the game was played, Bayer Leverkusen found that Liverpool's approach to football was very different, their attacking momentum was not violent, although the formation of the three central midfielders was listed, but there were not many decent attacks organized. On the contrary, it is their front-court counter-robbery and midfield interception, which is eye-catching.

But with this style of play, you can't deal with the German team. Bayer Leverkusen are newcomers who have a lot of teamwork and physical strength, and they believe that they will never be exposed by Liverpool's counter-attack.

Bayer Leverkusen made a few attempts and discovered that Liverpool did not have a strong grip in midfield, so they started attacking, and in the 11th minute, Freier took the lead when he shook off Rise on the right and cut inside into the box before sending in a cross. Ponte, who just received the ball, sent the ball into the sky with one kick, wasting a great opportunity in vain.

Just two minutes later, Bayer Leverkusen's attack was renewed. This time, when Berbatov dribbled the ball in front of the penalty area, he suddenly raised his foot and sent a sudden shè goal. The power of his ball is not small, Dudek who pounced on the ball was not able to hold the ball in his arms, but after blocking it, the ball came out of his hand, but in the face of such an opportunity, Leverkusen did not have anyone to follow up in time, and missed a good opportunity in vain.

But that's it. After seeing Liverpool's performance, Bayer Leverkusen's players also made a preliminary judgment.

"It looks like Bayer Leverkusen is going to be out of luck." Martin Taylor, who was watching the game, made a prediction.

"Why? Bayer Leverkusen obviously has the upper hand. Andy Gray asked, puzzled.

"But this Liverpool team, in essence, is still the team left by Houllier. They are very solid at the back and very difficult to penetrate. And you have to know that they have been playing defensive counterattacks for many years, and it has become a habit for counterattacks, and the opponent is strong, which is nothing, and for teams that are used to defending against counterattacks, a small opportunity can make them easily turn the tables. ”

As if to confirm his words, an attack by Liverpool was launched

In the 15th minute, after receiving a pass from Biscayne, Zhao Yaning shook Krìnovic in the midfield, and then relied on this step to change direction past Ramirao. After connecting the two, he was already facing an empty backline, and at this time, he kicked the ball in with an extremely accurate pass. The ball flew between Juan and Júnior, and Luis García, who was inserted, quickly caught up with the ball, ran two quick steps, and then hit the goal!

“gooooal！！！！！ Fifteen minutes into the game, Liverpool, 1-0!!!!! ”ω· u(8) Update the fastest reading network
