After a 3-0 win away to Bremen, Liverpool all but announced that they had entered the knockout stages of the Champions League.

Three wins in three games, nine points to the first place in the group, last year, it was Liverpool who was worried about qualifying from the group, and this year, it has become other teams need to worry about meeting Liverpool after qualifying from the group.

Back in England, they were greeted with another piece of good news.

Chelsea have finally failed to win in the tenth round. After exsuming too much jīng power in the Champions League in midweek, in the league, they had to swallow a draw. Obviously, Chelsea's grouping is not as good as Liverpool's. They spent too much energy in the confrontation with Barcelona and had to fight harder in the Champions League, which allowed Liverpool to finally recover some of the league games.

If there's one thing that makes people unhappy, it's the Chelsea side who drew with it, but it's Everton......

"If only we would." In this regard, everyone has no complaints in private.

"What's so good about a draw, the next time we meet, it's good to win them." Everyone can only encourage each other like this, "Anyway, we haven't won against them." ”

But that's easier said than done. Chelsea's home stadium record has always been outstanding, they haven't lost last year, they haven't lost so far this year, they are recognised for playing at home, and it's obviously too difficult to get a win at their home stadium.

But how do you know if you don't try? Didn't Liverpool lose at home last year? It's not been conquered this year. If you don't work hard for something like this, you won't get a satisfactory result.

Liverpool's opponent at the weekend was away to Aston Villa. This time, Morientes, Garcia, Colwill and Zhao Yaning played up front, while Hamann and Alonso were deployed at the back.

Obviously, Liverpool were also affected by the away Champions League games, and everyone was equally tired in consecutive away games, and Liverpool failed to score in the entire first half.

At the start of the second half, Liverpool suddenly picked up the pace.

The faster the pace of the game, the greater the physical exertion, and this principle is unchanged. Liverpool didn't play much in the first half because you were overworked, and the game was always smooth, but at the beginning of the second half, Liverpool's continuous attacks suddenly increased the tempo.

This change made Aston Villa a little uncomfortable, and it was by taking advantage of their discomfort that Liverpool had already scored their first goal.

After a few quick lateral runs in the middle, Zhao Yaning attracted the attention of most of the people in the backfield. He then slid the ball through to Garcia, who cut in on the right, and Garcia crossed for Morientes to slot.

The simplest kick, but also the most effective. Such a three-person cooperative attack method seems simple, but Zhao Yaning's involvement, Garcia's running and Morientes's shè door have all been played to the extreme, and it is actually quite difficult to have such a goal.

And after a goal, Liverpool's attack returned to calm. They have a lot of physical exertion, and they have no interest in persisting with their opponents, so their range of motion will soon shrink.

But this has stimulated Aston Villa's overall situation, and in the face of such an opportunity, Liverpool will naturally not let it go.

Zhao Yaning launched a counterattack after getting the ball once, rushing directly from the left side. Instead of opting for a cross near the left-hand baseline, he smashed the ball into the box and then handed it to Alonso. And this time, Alonso didn't pass the ball, he unexpectedly broke through with the ball in one step, and pushed shè from a small angle to get the ball into the net!

'Xavi Alonso scored his first goal of the season! Very beautiful goal, Liverpool through a counterattack, once again extended the score! ”

The score remained unchanged until the end. Liverpool won 2-0 again and took advantage of the opportunity to close the gap on Chelsea.

"As soon as they draw, we lose, and the disadvantage is not very big."

The Liverpool players were also very happy about this, never thinking that by midweek, they would be in trouble again. And this trouble is beyond imagination.

Liverpool suffered a surprise defeat to Crystal Palace in the third round of the English League Cup in midweek.

In this game, Zhao Yaning watched the game in the stands. Benitez didn't even put their main players on the bench list, and in his opinion, this game is a sure game in terms of Liverpool's strength, even if they only play on the reserve team and the bench.

But obviously, things were beyond his imagination, in the first five minutes, Colwill, who started the game, was knocked to the ground by the opponent during a scramble for a header, and then raised his hand to indicate that he couldn't do it.

"Why do I have a normal feeling every time I see Colwill injured? How many times has he been injured this year? ”

In the ridicule of the commentator, Benitez could only reluctantly replace Colwill. The absence of one man at the start of the game obviously upset the players, but it wasn't the worst of all: in the second half, substitute Steven Gerrard was also fighting

Injured in the snatch.

Even Liverpool, who lost a series of players, played weakly in the second half of the game, and in the end, the game also lost 0-1, as the defending champions, Liverpool was humiliated to be eliminated in the third round of this year's League Cup.

"It's just a chicken rib race, it's not a big deal."

After the game, several people could only comfort each other like this. Fortunately, although the game was lost, it was of little significance, and the League Cup was a trophy that was better than nothing. Moreover, Gerrard's injury is not serious, although he will not be able to play in the next game against West Ham, but when it comes to the home game against Bremen, he will definitely be available. Cowell, on the other hand, is more seriously injured and needs to rest for about a month.

It's just that compared to these words, the attitude of the media after the game is even more infuriating. Several media outlets have said that the biggest problem with Liverpool's defeat to Crystal Palace may not be their lack of quality, but their bad attitude. There are even suspicions that they deliberately did not play well in the game and lost to Crystal Palace in order to retain enough jīng power to go further in the league.

"Who knows what they think? For Liverpool, the Carabao Cup is nothing, the league is different. ”

Such rumors are rampant, and some people even run to ask Benitez with the rumors. Benitez's attitude is naturally extremely angry about such words, "We injured two players, lost a cup in a humiliating way, and now there are still people who suspect that we played match-fixing? This is illogical slander! ”

Liverpool was angry at such words, but the players, now they see a lot, "They are coming for the name Liverpool." They're not going to make it easy for us anyway. Match-fixing...... It's ridiculous, the rumors of Mann's connection have been circulating for so long, and they don't care. And we lost the game because of two injuries, and we were suspected of match-fixing. If we are so strong, why don't they suspect that our defeat to Chelsea was also match-fixing? It's better to replay. ”

"Ignore them, they're just that. We are still not tough enough in the past, so we were teased by them. Win until they shut up. ”

Once Gerrard had boosted the morale of the team, his mission was done. After all, against West Ham United, he couldn't play, and he could only watch the outcome of this game from the stands.

The adjustment made by Liverpool is to put Zhao Yaning in the middle, Figo on the left, and Garcia on the right.

However, not long after the game started, Liverpool were breached by West Ham United. West Ham United defender Koncheski launched a surprise attack and played a long ball to Ashton. Ashton, on the other hand, was tackled to the ground by Sissoko immediately, but it also gave West Ham a free-kick opportunity.

It was from this free-kick that Ferdinand snatched a penalty in the crowd and took advantage of the chaos to open the scoring for West Ham.

"Liverpool's door is breached! This is the second Premier League side other than Chelsea to breach Liverpool's door this season, which gives some suspense to the development of the game, so let's see how the game will play out. ”

Although the commentator was very excited, Liverpool was not too affected at this time. They weren't supposed to be proud to defend hard and not concede a single goal. What they are really known for, and proud of, is their ability to turn the game around.

Soon, Liverpool equalised.

Alonso did not choose to make a long pass this time, but let McCone plug in, and he made a cooperation with him and rushed up, and McCone obviously understood what he meant: there is no Gerrard in the front, the counter-attack pressure is not enough, and Liverpool needs to strengthen the backfield press. And after a few steps forward, he wobbled a few times and passed the ball to Alonso, who was inserted.

Alonso slammed a powerful shot into the goal and kicked the ball straight out. Ferdinand blocked his shè door, but Milito, who was close at hand, immediately made up for it!

“gooooal！！！！ Once again, Liverpool showed their formidable ability to turn around in the game! With a 1-1 equaliser, Liverpool equalised the score, and perhaps, this is another prelude to a reversal?

The narrator's words apparently became a prophecy, and soon Liverpool were given another chance.

Zhao Yaning's far shè was saved from the bottom line and Liverpool won a corner.

After taking a look at the position in the penalty area, Zhao Yaning took two steps back and drove the ball to the back point with one kick!

Normally, standing in this position is Liverpool's old captain Hyypia. But now, Hyypia is injured and replaced by Liverpool's new defender Nemanja Vidic. Vidic jumped high in the face of the flying ball, and he almost pressed Antón Ferdinand, who was jumping with him, with a powerful header, and smashed the ball into the net!

“gooooal！！！ Nemanja Vidic scored his maiden goal for Liverpool! A ferocious header smashes the ball into the back of the net! Out of the defender, at this moment, he gave people a glimpse of his possible successor to Hyypia, and Liverpool found a last defender successor! Nemanja Vidic announced his arrival in the Premier League with a goal, and now, Liverpool can proudly say that they have the best backline in the Premier League! ”ω· u(8) Update the fastest reading network
