Section 549 The first of the group

After returning to England, the English media naturally sang praises to virtue. Although some people are still dissatisfied with him squeezing Lampard down, the vast majority of people are still celebrating the emergence of another Ballon d'Or winner in the Premier League.

"I don't think there's anything worth discussing about this award, just take it. Now I'm more concerned about the game. ”

Zhao Yaning's words were regarded by everyone as a hypocrisy. No one knew that when he was in Paris, he was touched too much because of Xiao Luo's smiling face, and what he said at this time was all true.

Whatever the reason, delaying football itself is not something worth advocating. In the past, he made mistakes, but now, he has to learn smart.

And because he went to Paris, Benitez was worried that he would be tired from the journey, and in the Liverpool game, he was also arranged to rotate. But he rotated, and his teammates made promises to give him a good game for him to see.

"Just watch how we win." Garcia said to Zhao Yaning before the game, "The Golden Ball Award or something is judged, and the champion is the one who kicks out." Our group is now all teammates of Mr. Footballer, so let's show you how we won the game. ”

And their opponents, Sunderland, also had to face the excitement of Liverpool. Poor Sunderland are now bottom of a five-game losing streak, and this game has been ruthlessly washed away by Liverpool.

In the first half of the game, the first to score was Gerrard, who was the most captain. His long-range kick opened the scoring for Liverpool, giving them the lead less than 10 minutes into the game.

And soon, Garcia scored Liverpool's second goal. After cutting in on the right, he received a pass from Figo to score another goal for Liverpool.

And just before half-time, Reese hit the back of the net again for Liverpool with a heavy shot to make it 3-0.

"Guys, that's pretty much it." In the locker room, Zhao Yaning also smiled and persuaded a few teammates, "I'm angry, don't bully the relegation team." Almost. I'll play in the second half, so let's play again. ”

"No need, just sit and watch." Garcia held him down, "It's good to take a little rest." ”

"I'm not as weak as you think, okay?" Zhao Yaning smiled bitterly, "It's just a short trip, what's the big deal?" ”

However, in the second half, Benitez refused Zhao Yaning's request to play, "There is no need, we have already won the game." All you have to do now is get some rest. ”

"Coach, I'm fine."

"You don't have a problem, just watch on the sidelines how your teammates are playing, whether they play at a good level, you can see more."

Then look at it - Zhao Yaning can only accept the arrangement.

However, in this game, Liverpool did play very well. And what surprised Zhao Yaning the most was that Gerrard was playing better and better.

In the past, Steven Gerrard had always played in the back. His speed, good physique, and ability to scramble, coupled with a sè pass, have always seen him as a potential player at the level of Keane.

But his problems are actually quite serious: his poor sense of position, coupled with his execution problems, makes him always have serious problems with misposition when he plays. And not only that, because there are many scrambles in the backcourt, and there are many bursts of running and confrontation that are required, although his physical fitness is good, he has also endured more beatings. He doesn't have the natural temper of Vieira and Keane, so he gets injured much more often than the average person.

But under the current arrangement, Gerald's problem has been greatly alleviated. He stopped playing in the midfield, but in the midfield position. His running can cover the entire midfield, can help teammates sort out the attack, guide the attack, can also help the team to carry out front-court counter-robbery, on-the-spot pressing, a front with the ability to tackle the back is a terrible front-court pressing weapon, which has a very big impact on the game. Moreover, his long-range ability, which has already attracted the attention of the entire Premier League in the midfield position, has also begun to play a greater role in the forward midfield position.

Moreover, this change also has a significant significance: after Gerrard arrived in the frontcourt, there was no large-scale running and excessive scrambling, and this season, his injuries were much less.

Steven Gerrard has never been very slippery in football, and although his new position has brought him many benefits, he has always been very uncomfortable. In the previous games, he played more like a fixed-point battery, and later it was a mobile battery. And now, he has taken another step forward, and he has begun to really have the meaning of being able to attack and defend the command platform.

It's a good thing to see a change in which teammates improve, and the team is on the rise.

After a 3-0 game against Sunderland, Liverpool's next opponent is Wigan Athletic.

Like Sunderland, they are a combative opponent.

Wigan Athletic's schedule is a bit scary: their opponents are Tottenham, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea in five consecutive rounds. They have already lost the first two games, and the last three have been won

The hope is even slimmer, and a five-game losing streak awaits them, which naturally makes them unable to beat the jīng gods.

And in this game, Zhao Yaning also returned to the starting position. And he scored the first goal for Liverpool shortly after the game began.

This time the shè gate is a far shè outside the big penalty area. After the ball passed several times, Zhao Yaning took the ball from the side to the front of the penalty area, after running sideways, almost everyone thought that he was preparing to pass the ball into the penalty area, but at this time, he chose to turn around, no extra preparations, and directly hit the ball to the goal!

The ball spun into the goal, sending the Liverpool fans cheering.

But Wigan Athletic is not in a good mood. Their game has been unlucky enough, and in this game, they have to face the attack of Zhao Yaning, the new footballer.

They have a decent line at the back, with Premier League star Piernes on the left wing-back and Frenchman Zim Bonda on the right, who is now also considered a potential full-back to be the best of the year. And they also have Liverpool's old defender Joe Hens at centre-back, which is quite a decent defensive line.

But when faced with Liverpool's attack, they were ineffective. Zhao Yaning slipped Zim Bonda back and forth on the left side, and Zim Bonda was depressed to find that he couldn't stop Zhao Yaning in Ligue 2 at the beginning, and he can't stop it now. On the right side, Figo also played Baines very well, Liverpool is now playing against the weak team, and the presence of these two wings is enough to achieve a comprehensive suppression of the weak team.

And after Zhao Yaning's goal, Liverpool soon found another opportunity. This time, Gerrard, who got the ball, sent the ball to Zhao Yaning's feet with a straight kick after making a fake move of shèmen, Zhao Yaning got the ball in the small penalty area, the goalkeeper had already saved, Zhao Yaning pushed sideways, and Milito directly shè door to win!

Zhao Yaning, Milito and Gerrard ran together to celebrate, it is this kind of cooperation, this tacit cooperation, is the way to make the team stronger!

"Steven Gerrard was very clever with a through ball and Zhao Yaning was very calm in front of goal. Obviously, Liverpool's performance has not been affected by off-field reasons as we thought, and they have been very consistent, which is very thankful. ”

In fact, Liverpool also have to thank for the arrangement of the stadium. After all, these two games were played by Sunderland and Wigan, and they didn't have to spend much effort, although they were still affected to some extent, but they were not reflected.

Liverpool's luck has actually been really good this half season. There are not too many injuries in their squad, although there are occasional injuries, but there are also suitable substitutes, and the players have been able to maintain a main squad to participate in the game, such luck is indeed excellent luck, in contrast, the unlucky Manchester United has injured three people, Arsenal is now full of injuries, Liverpool can still maintain the competition with Chelsea, this summer, the investment in the medical team is also spent.

And now, Figo and the team have integrated, Gerrard is also getting better in the forward position, Zhao Yaning's mentality is also stable, and they can play better in the second half of the season.

And at the end of the game, Liverpool scored again. This time, Zhao Yaning's corner kick flew directly to the midfield. Alonso, who met his pass, blasted the ball towards the goal, and although Johenz tried his best to block the shè goal, he could only change the course of the ball slightly, and the ball still flew into the goal.

3-0, Liverpool won another game.

'Now that we have two terrible teams in the Premier League, we're looking forward to seeing what kind of team Liverpool will lose to?

While the media was raving about Liverpool, Liverpool immediately lost a surprise one: they lost the Champions League against Panathinachs.

In this game, Liverpool almost sent half of the substitutes, because they had already determined the qualification in advance, and they did not fight with all their might, after all, the Club World Cup game is approaching, they have other things to do, such a game that does not matter whether it is won or lost, it is not surprising to lose.

But even after losing the game, Liverpool still has four wins, one draw and one loss, and the group is first in 13 points. The second-place Bremen has three wins, two draws and one loss, and the second place in the group with 11 points, Real Betis has one win, two draws and three losses, and was eliminated with 5 points, while Panathinax at the bottom has one win, one draw and four losses, and the bottom is directly out of the competition with 4 points.

And the last round of the group stage, the final result made everyone fall through the glasses.

Liverpool and Arsenal finished top of their group: it wasn't a big deal, they were the best teams in their group. Even Arsenal's last game drew with Ajax and did not win all of them, which is considered a big pity.

And Chelsea was squeezed into the second place in the group by Barcelona, which is not too much of a problem, although Chelsea is very strong, but now Xiao Luo is like rì Zhongtian, almost recognized by people as the next king of the ball, and now, what he needs is a World Cup to crown himself. Chelsea were beaten by him, no shame.

But at this time, the biggest topic of the Premier League is not them, but the most humiliating team.
