The Ball at Your Feet

: 442 The Progress of the League

Although the Champions League is an important game, Liverpool still has a league to play at this time. After returning from Turin, just a day later, Liverpool and Tottenham started a league match.

Liverpool’s players obviously did not play away from the away game. After all, they just finished Juventus on the 14th, got off the plane on the 15th, and will face Tottenham again on the 16th, which is really exhausting.

In order to make the players more adaptable to the game, Liverpool had to make a rotation: Gerrard was just a little bit injured and returned with injury, while Warnock, Pellegrino and Morientes all rotated. The starting debut.

But at the beginning of the game, Liverpool lost in midfield and was scored by Tottenham. Benitez had to accept the fact that Warnock was really not a qualified starter.

The game had just started twenty-six minutes, and Riise, who had been given the chance to take a break, had to come on the bench at this time.

Towards the end of the first half of the game, after Zhao Yaning made a long pass to Morientes, Morientes scored a header and equalized the score for Liverpool. After the start of the second half, after a cooperation with Garcia, Zhao Yaning scored again with a long shot in front of the goal, and while surpassing the score for Liverpool, it also ended the seven-round drought from the game against Fulham to the present.

And this goal also allowed him to score 19 goals in the league-but he was still the third highest scorer in the league. Andy Johnson scored his tenth penalty kick of the season a few days ago, turning the number of goals into 21. Although Henry has been injured, it is not certain whether he can come back this season, but before the injury, his two hat tricks, so that he now has 25 goals, is still ranked first in the league.

Although it was a good thing for Zhao Yaning to score, Liverpool immediately missed another opportunity: Zhao Yaning broke into the penalty area and fell to the ground by a Tottenham defender. This gave Liverpool a chance to win a penalty kick. However, Gerrard, who took the penalty kick, made a penalty kick and missed the door slip and missed the chance to seal the victory.

In the final moments of the game, Tottenham took advantage of a corner kick to tie the score 2-2.

"From now on I will never take a penalty kick again."

Back in the locker room, Gerrard cursed and cursed the street. Because of his missed penalty, Liverpool turned his three-pointer into one, which made him very unhappy.

"It would be great if Danny was still there. He never had a problem with penalties." Carragher also complained a bit about this. "If he is still there, we won't lose points."

"It's useless to say that those are all useless. Just play the next game. Manchester United can't catch up with us anyway. It's also difficult for us to catch up with Arsenal. There is no need to worry about such a game." Zhao Yaning comforted, " Just win the next game."

Because Arsenal and Manchester United both have FA Cup matches to play, their 33rd round of matches was postponed. This makes the gap between Liverpool and Arsenal in the standings further narrowed, and then the gap between Manchester United has further widened. Although such a score will be added in the end, it is still very happy to watch the gap change at this time.

But at this time, Benitez told them a bad news, "our next league game, we can't change the time."

Because the match against Chelsea was held on Tuesday, April 28, and the league match was held on Sunday, April 26, Liverpool found the FA and tried to change the game to the week. Six in order to give the team a buffer of time. However, the FA rejected this suggestion, and they still demanded to maintain the original game time.

"But Chelsea's game is on Saturday." The players are very dissatisfied with this. "Their league and cup buffer time are about two days, but we only have one day. The FA is not fair at all."

This is not what Liverpool put forward first, but Ferguson of Manchester United was the first to criticize Chelsea for being taken care of by the FA, with longer rest periods, and the start of the game mostly in the evening, which was more glaring than other teams. But in this regard, Mourinho immediately retorted, saying that Manchester United can always get a lot of penalties during the game, and Wenger also jumped out at the time, saying that if Manchester United did not take care of the referee, it would be a mid-range team like Liverpool. And Arsenal is the one who was really tricked by the referee. If Arsenal get the same care as Chelsea and Manchester United, Arsenal will lead the standings, and Mourinho immediately said Wenger is a **** and only likes to stare at others. Look at the team...

The Premier League has always had a lot of verbal battles, and since Mourinho came, the Premier League has never lacked the soil for quarrels.

"The game against Chelsea is definitely not easy." Benitez's words have been unanimously agreed by everyone. The game against a team like Chelsea must be filled with a lot of running, confrontation, mutual fouls, and muscle team competition. , Is always the most tiring.

"So, this game against Crystal Palace, we give up."

"Give up again..." This sentence made the players complain, "Crystal Palace is the bottom of the league..."

But the situation forced Liverpool to have no more good choices. In this game, Liverpool 1-1 away and drew with the bottom team Crystal Palace. Crouch scored a goal for Crystal Palace, and in the final stage of the game, Zhao Yaning assisted Morientes to score a goal. The game between the two sides ended in a 1-1 draw.

"I don't know when we should complain about Liverpool's passive challenge, or whether we should complain that Liverpool's gifts are not enough: for the other relegation teams, they all generously donated and directly gave three points!"

The media is also extremely dissatisfied with Liverpool’s unscrupulous savings and strength to prepare for the Champions League-when you played a strong team, you played well. You played Juventus, Manchester United, and Chelsea are all good, but you met a relegation team. At that time, it was all kinds of embarrassing losses. What exactly do you want to do in this kind of game? Do you want to use practical actions to express your hatred of gambling?

"Does coach Benitez still think that they will beat Mourinho's Chelsea in the Champions League? You know, Mourinho has always been a master of key games, he is a natural winner, two rounds of the Champions League, Chelsea king The wind is full, and against Liverpool, in the League Cup final, Chelsea had already beaten Liverpool to abandon their helmets and armor. They could not deal with it. If it were not for the referee's mediocrity and sent out Mourinho, Liverpool was inevitable. Failed. Don't Liverpool understand things like this? Do they think they can win this game?"

At this time, the war of words began as everyone expected. Not surprisingly, almost all media are optimistic about Chelsea.

"Why do I think that since I arrived at Liverpool, I have been repeatedly notified by the media throughout the year. How strong are our opponents? It seems that when we played in the Champions League last year, Chelsea hadn't been praised to this point. Well." Zhao Yaning was very disgusted with such things, and in the interview, he also directly expressed his opinion, "Chelsea is a strong team, otherwise it is impossible to enter the semi-finals. However, they are still much worse than Juventus. Yes, we will definitely be able to beat them."

The media is constantly increasing pressure on Liverpool-Liverpool does not seem to be Chelsea’s opponent. On the other hand, the relationship between Chelsea and the media is already stronger than that of Liverpool. They put pressure on Liverpool through the media. Naturally, it is very easy to do. Faced with such a situation, Zhao Yaning really couldn’t stand the media asking him every day how much pressure he was, and he simply said harshly to the media, “Chelsea and Mourinho both lost to me last year. A group of losers hugged me. Can you beat me by licking each other's wounds together? I don't think so."

Zhao Yaning's words caused a lot of controversy. He seldom speaks to the media, but because of this, he says he can beat Chelsea, which makes him appear more credible. After all, Mourinho has almost scolded all of Europe in this season, and everyone knows what he said without interviewing. And Zhao Yaning said such a thing for the first time, the credibility is higher.

However, there are still some media who insist on being optimistic about Chelsea, and do not know from which perspective they have come to the conclusion: Chelsea is a king.

Obviously all the knockout matches are lost away, and Arsenal in the league is also completely at a disadvantage, so if playing the weaker team is superb, playing the strong team is the weakest team, but in the eyes of the media, it is already the strongest team in Europe. One out.

On the road to the rise of Chelsea, it has always attracted most of the media attention. But in fact, the media's attention to them has always been more positive and less negative. If Mourinho’s madness is exposed, he will be said to be overwhelming when he reaches others, but when he is at Chelsea, he will only be said to be domineering and exposed. If others are the leaders and have not won the game against the weak team, the media will accuse them of the downturn, but Chelsea, the media will accuse the opponents of retreating and shrinking.

Although Chelsea have portrayed themselves in front of the media as a representative of the grassroots team that has been persecuted by the g14, and have courageously challenged the rich and powerful revolutionary team, their relationship with the media has never been bad.

At this time, Zhao Yaning didn't bother to pay attention to the media. UU Reading www.uukahnshu. com, he has entered his own space and watched the gains of this period.

After the first game, the card exchanged with Trezeguet was a 2 card named "Hunter", which was a balance 2 card, while the card exchanged with Nedved in the second game was It is an "Iron Man" with stability 4.

Zhao Yaning used the cards with balance 2 at will, which also allowed his balance to reach 18. However, the cards with increased stability had some problems.

His attribute is already 17, and with this card, it becomes 20, and another item has reached its full value.

Almost fully enhanced. Looking at his attributes, Zhao Yaning also had a lot of confidence.

In the three games with Chelsea, for 300 minutes, Liverpool Gerrard Alonso was on the court for a total of 28 minutes. And now, Gerrard and Alonso can finally play at the same time, our backcourt strength has improved a lot, this is the strongest Liverpool.

One and the other, Chelsea’s bilateral road, Davroben was injured at the same time, and there are no two counter-attacks. How strong can Chelsea be?

Want to be a dynasty? Think you are number one in the world? Money buys stars, buys it to praise, buys it to compete with weak teams. However, now in the Champions League semi-finals, there are no underdogs. Whoever wins and loses, but it all depends on strength to speak.

Can you lead this upstart, break through the Champions League semi-finals, and prove that you are a true champion coach? Let's talk about it after the comparison.
