In fact, the current Charlton Athletic is indeed not a strong team. Although they are not bad at the bottom of the relegation, but all along, that is, in the middle of the league, Zheng Zhi of the Chinese team is still their main player, such a level of team, if only in terms of strength, Liverpool is definitely a lot better.

Now Liverpool is forced to do this, to put it bluntly, it is still a problem of instability at the back. Defenders and goalkeepers are always replaced, and no matter what, it's not a good thing.

However, in this case, the Liverpool players have long been mentally prepared: the season is very long, and all kinds of accidents are inevitable. Liverpool are well prepared this season to cope with the situation. Although Dudek has a problem with his performance, it is also easy to find his form, and such a game should also find his form.

In such an inconsequential game, Liverpool can be bold, conceding more goals than anything, as long as they can win the game - it is not easy to accumulate points, and Liverpool does not want to lose the points obtained by Chelsea in exchange for Charlton.

In the second half of the game, Liverpool's offensive was significantly strengthened. Not only did the players up front run more aggressively, but the two full-backs at the back also plugged in from time to time, which made Charlton unable to hold on immediately.

Soon, Liverpool's attack caused Charlton to concede the ball - Zhao Yaning broke through in front of the penalty area in succession, passed the ball into the box, and Morientes successfully scored with a push to give Liverpool a successful equaliser.

And immediately afterwards, Zhao Yaning was a through plug again, this time it was Garcia who got the ball, and his low shot made Liverpool complete the reversal again.

You can't go on forever. When he was playing, Zhao Yaning was still thinking about it. It's always reversing the game, which looks exciting, but the team's performance is not stable enough. I still have to think about how to make the team play steadily.

At this time, his long ball also passed into the penalty area, and after Morientes headed the goal, it was saved, and Garcia, who picked up the opportunity, scored again with a sweeping shot to make the score 4-2.

Relying on the performance of three goals in a row in the second half, Liverpool won this victory. And after this make-up game, Liverpool has one less round of games, only one point behind Chelsea, which also makes Liverpool extremely excited.

Liverpool's next game against Wigan Athletic, as the bottom team, Liverpool don't think they will cause much trouble for themselves, and if the game with Wigan wins, then the next game is the fourth round of the make-up against Arsenal - even if Chelsea wins this game, at that time, Liverpool will be able to overtake, after all, they have one less round, if Liverpool wins that game, they will overtake Chelsea, draw, they will draw with Chelsea, If they lose, then they are falling behind again.

"The match between Liverpool and Arsenal will directly affect the final champion, and this game will determine who will be at the forefront of the title race."

At this time, the media also began to hype this game. Although Arsenal are playing poorly now, they are still an enemy to be reckoned with, and no one can afford to fight against such an opponent.

"If you have to say that you hate Chelsea the most, Arsene Wenger has to be one of them, right? He was called a voyeur by Mourinho. Do you think it's possible for him to let us win the championship? "Privately, a few people talked about it in the locker room, and it was not without fantasies. Garcia spoke of an ideal situation, and he also fantasized about being able to let Arsene Wenger let Liverpool go.

"Arsenal now? How could they easily throw away points by themselves in the top four. This idea is really a bit naïve, but Zhao Yaning doesn't believe in that kind of good thing, "If we want to win, we still have to work hard." Besides, in terms of the efficiency of our game against Charlton, I think it's a bit suspenseful to say that we can win against Arsenal. ”

The goal conceded in this game is indeed a bit embarrassing, and everyone admits it. And it is really impossible to say that Arsenal will release water. Arsenal are still hovering around seventh in the league, and it is very dangerous for them to finish in the top four, and it is certainly impossible for them to give up the game easily.

"Guys, we've got a dozen games left, and we can't be careless at this time. The thickness of the lineup, we have it, the strength of the team, we are not bad, if it is like this, and in the end we lose the game because of carelessness, we can't say it. ”

Zhao Yaning's words made his teammates nod, "We don't need you to say it, we also know, this time, we can't make mistakes easily." ”

Immediately, Liverpool ushered in the game against Wigan Athletic. In this game, Liverpool still chose to use Morientes, Garcia, and Zhao Yaning as the starters in the front court, and did not rotate.

In this game, Liverpool scored in the 23rd minute of the first half: taking advantage of a free kick opportunity, Zhao Yaning gave the ball to Reese at the edge of the penalty area, and Reese hit the goal with a powerful kick to break through the door of Wigan.

Then, in the 39th minute, Alonso, who had inserted it, knocked on the door of Wigan Athletic again with a heavy shot. It was 2-0 in the first half and they played very easily.

In the second half of the game, Liverpool replaced Zhao Yaning, and then let Fowler come on the field and adjusted the formation to 442.

This change of formation is not bad, at least Liverpool still have the advantage, but in this game, they were unable to score again, and only ended the game with a score of 2-0.

"Why did you replace Joey?" When he arrived in the locker room, Garcia asked a little puzzled, "The other party is already holding on, and at this time, we need a better breakthrough." At this time, you still want to replace the person with the most ability to break through with the ball, what do you want to do? ”

"Save energy." Benitez gave a very simple answer, "Because in the coming period we will be tired from playing, so we have to save the team's energy. That's why Diego and Luiz are all rested for this game, because the next month will be difficult for them to get a chance to rest. ”

"Isn't the schedule of the previous days scary enough?" Gerald was a little puzzled, "The most tiring period has passed." ”

'The Christmas schedule is over, but the Champions League is just around the corner. Add to that the stop-ups, the FA Cup, and our schedule is terrible. I've got a list here, and you'll understand it at a glance. ”

Benitez made a list of them, and when they saw the names on the schedule, everyone exclaimed: these days, everyone's energy is focused on every upcoming league game, and few people will think too long-term, at this time, when they look at the schedule, they know what days will be spent in the next few days.

This is really a devil's schedule, and compared to this schedule, the past month has indeed been weak. In the past, although the competition was intensive, the quality of the opponent was not too high. Apart from Manchester United and Chelsea, there are hardly any strong teams. But now, looking at the games ahead, they know what kind of schedule they are facing.

A league match at home to Arsenal on 14 February and an FA Cup match at home to Manchester United on 18 February. The Champions League away to Bayern Munich on February 21, the league game at home to Manchester City on February 26, the league game away to Arsenal on March 4, and the Champions League game at home to Bayern Munich on March 8 - in 22 days, Liverpool will play six games, and in these six games, five of them will be against the best teams - Arsenal, Manchester United, Bayern, Manchester City, Arsenal, Bayern, except for one Manchester City, other teams, Either one has the potential to cost Liverpool.

"Is this a deadly rhythm?"

Looking at such a schedule, everyone doesn't know what to say. Everyone has played giants, but with such a dense game against giants, this is definitely the time to test the team's quality.

In these games, when playing Manchester City, the players can take a little rest, and in the two games against Bayern, if they can have a big enough game advantage on the road, they can also consider a little rotation at home. But the rest of the games are not sloppy.

The league against Arsenal, the Champions League against Bayern, the FA Cup against Manchester United, any game, can not be easily missed.

"It's really troublesome to play like this. Don't talk about whether you can surpass Chelsea in the next game, maybe you will be thrown away by Chelsea again. ”

The competition for the league championship is already a very troublesome thing. Especially when the two teams are of similar strength, it is even more difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat. If you slack off a little, you may be caught up by your opponent, which is indeed a huge problem.

However, at this time, Benitez spoke, "Actually...... We are now at the top of the league table. In the league that just ended, Chelsea, lost. ”

This sudden news stunned everyone.

Chelsea's losing streak?

This news made the Liverpool players not know what to say.

After losing 2-0 at home to Liverpool, Chelsea faced another tough opponent in the FA Cup. This time, they played 90 minutes against Everton, but they were unable to win, and a 0-0 replay was needed after a leak that rained overnight. After a four-game winless run, they have to travel to Middlesbrough.

In this league game, Chelsea, who lacked soldiers and was tired, lost to the opponent with a score of 0-3.

"I don't even know what I'm going to say now, should I congratulate them on their defeat or complain that their 3-0 defeat made our 2-1 win look worthless?"

At this time, Liverpool's dressing room was naturally jubilant.

By the end of the third round of play-offs, Liverpool were already just one point behind Chelsea. And after this game, Liverpool finally overtook Chelsea and took the top spot.

With a game in hand, a two-point lead could extend the lead to five points if they can beat Arsenal in the next game.

5 points...... Such an advantage is definitely worth celebrating.

If it's a two-point lead, but it's an advantage, then a five-point lead is a huge advantage. A five-point difference may allow the team to win the championship in advance.

"Take Arsenal." Several people were interested, "After winning them, we will have more time and energy to spend on the cup." Let's let them know that the devil's schedule can't beat Liverpool! ”
