The Ball at Your Feet

After returning to England, the English media was naturally indispensable to sing praises. Although some people are still dissatisfied with him squeezing Lampard, most of them are still celebrating the appearance of another Golden Globe winner in the Premier League.

"I don't think there is anything worth discussing about this award. I just take it. Now I care more about the competition."

Zhao Yaning's words were regarded as false and serious by everyone. No one knows that when he was in Paris, because of Ronaldinho's smiling face, he was touched too much, and what he said at this time was all true.

Whatever it is for, delaying football itself is not something to be promoted. He made mistakes in the past, but now he has to learn to be smart.

And because he went to Paris, Benitez was worried that he would be tired from the journey, and he was also arranged for a rotation in the Liverpool game. But he changed, but his teammates promised to play a good game for him and let him see.

"Just watch how we win." Garcia told Zhao Yaning before the game, "Golden Globe awards are all judged, and the champions are kicked out. Our people, now also Now that they are all teammates of Mr. Football, let you see how we won the game."

And their opponent Sunderland also had to face the excitement of Liverpool. Poor Sunderland is now at the bottom of the five-game losing streak in the league, and this game has been ruthlessly washed away by Liverpool.

In the first half of the game, the first to score a goal was the captain Gerrard. His long shot opened the scoring for Liverpool, allowing Liverpool to take the lead in less than 10 minutes.

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

And before the end of the first half, Riise's kick hit the goal heavily and once again broke the goal for Liverpool, turning the game into 3-0.

"Guys, it's almost done." In the locker room, Zhao Yaning also smiled and persuaded a few teammates, "I'm relieved, don't bully the relegation team. It's almost done. I will play in the second half and let's play well. "

"No, you can just sit and watch." Garcia held him down, "It's good to take more rest."

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

But Benitez refused Zhao Yaning's request to play in the second half. "It's no longer necessary. We have won the game. All you have to do now is take a good rest."

"Coach, I'm fine."

"You have no problem, just watch how your teammates are playing on the sidelines and see if they are at their level."

Then watch it-Zhao Yaning can only accept the arrangement.

However, in this game, Liverpool did play very well. What surprised Zhao Yaning most was that Gerrard was getting better and better.

In the past, Gerrard has always played as a midfielder. His speed, good health, and excellent fighting ability, coupled with an excellent pass, make him always considered as a potential player at Keene level.

But his problem is actually quite serious: his poor sense of position, coupled with the problem of his execution ability, makes him always have a serious misplacement problem when he plays. And not only that, because there are more fights in the backcourt, and more explosive running and confrontation are needed. Although his physical fitness is good, he has suffered more beatings. He doesn't have the natural ball domineering temperament of Vieira and Keane, so his injury frequency is much more than that of ordinary people.

But under the current arrangement, Gerrard's problem has been greatly eased. He no longer plays in the midfielder, but in the front midfielder. His running can cover the entire midfield, can help teammates sort out the attack, guide the offense, and can also help the team to counter the frontcourt, press on the spot, a midfielder with the ability to steal the midfielder is very scary The frontcourt oppresses the weapon, which has a great impact on the game. Moreover, his long-range shooting ability-in the midfielder position has already attracted the attention of the entire Premier League's outstanding shooting, in the front midfielder, also began to play a greater role.

Moreover, this change also has a major significance: After Gerrard arrived on the frontcourt, there was no large-scale running and excessive fighting. This season, his injury situation was also much less.

Gerrard has never been very slick. Although the new position has brought him a lot of benefits, he has always been playing very uncomfortable. In the previous game, he played more like a fixed-point turret, and later it was a mobile turret. But now, he has gone one step further, and he really has the meaning of an offensive and defensive podium.

Such a change is gratifying: the progress of teammates naturally represents the strength of the team to a higher level.

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

Like Sunderland, they are also an unscrupulous opponent.

Wigan Athletic's schedule during this period is really scary: their opponents, for five consecutive rounds, are Tottenham, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea. They have already lost the first two games, and the hope of winning the next three games is even slimmer. A five-game losing streak awaits them, which naturally makes them unable to beat their spirits.

In this game, Zhao Yaning also returned to the starting position. Soon after the start of the game, he scored the first goal for Liverpool.

This shot was a long shot from outside the penalty area. After passing the ball several times, Zhao Yaning dribbled the ball from the side to the front of the penalty area. After running across, almost everyone thought he was going to pass the ball into the penalty area, but at this time, he But he chose to turn around, without any extra preparations, and directly blasted the ball towards the goal!

The football spun into the goal, which also made the Liverpool fans cheered.

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

One of their defenders is still quite good. Their left defender is Premier League star Bynes, and their right is Frenchman Zimbunda. This player is now considered to be the best full defender. of. And their central defender also has Liverpool's old defender Joe Henz, which is a very good line of defenders.

But when faced with Liverpool's attack, they were not at all useful. Zhao Yaning slipped Zimbunda back and forth on the left. Zimbonda found depressed that he could not stop Zhao Yaning in French second, and now he can't stop him. On the right flank, Figo did the same with Bynes. Liverpool is now playing against the underdogs. With these two wings, it is enough to completely suppress the underdogs.

After Zhao Yaning scored, Liverpool quickly found the opportunity again. This time, Gerrard, who got the ball, made a fake shot and sent the ball to Zhao Yaning with a through kick. Zhao Yaning got the ball in the small penalty area. The goalkeeper had already jumped in. Zhao Yaning kicked the ball horizontally. , Milito shot directly!

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

"Stephen Gerrard is very smart through the ball, and Zhao Yaning's handling in front of the goal is also very calm. Obviously, Liverpool's performance is not affected by off-court reasons as we imagined. Their performance is still stable. , This is a very thankful thing."

In fact, Liverpool also have to thank the venue arrangements. After all, they played Sunderland and Wigan in these two games. They didn't have to spend too much effort. Although they were affected to some extent, they didn't show it.

For Liverpool this half of the season, luck has actually been really good. Their lineup is not too injured. Although there are occasional injuries, they also have suitable substitutes. The players are still able to maintain a main lineup to participate in the game. Such luck is indeed excellent luck. In contrast, the unlucky Manchester United have injured three people, and Arsenal is now full of wounded soldiers. Liverpool can still maintain the competition with Chelsea. This summer, the investment in the medical team can be regarded as It took place.

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

At the end of the game, Liverpool scored again. This time, Zhao Yaning's corner kick flew directly towards the midfield. Alonso faced his pass and slammed the ball towards the goal. Although Johenz tried his best to block the shot, he could only slightly change the course of the goal and the football still flew into the goal.

3-0, Liverpool won another game.

"Now, the Premier League has two terrible strong teams, and we are looking forward to it, what kind of team will Liverpool lose to?"

When the media was boasting about Liverpool, Liverpool immediately lost one unexpectedly: they lost in the Champions League and Panathenaic game ~www.ltnovel.com~ This game Liverpool almost came in half. The team substitutes, because they have already confirmed their qualifications in advance, they did not try their best. After all, the Club World Cup match is about to approach. They have other things to do. In such a match where winning or losing is irrelevant, you lose. It's not worth being surprised.

But even after losing the game, Liverpool still had four wins, one draw and one loss, leading the team with 13 points. The second-placed Bremen had three wins, two draws and one loss. The 11-point team qualified for the second place. Real Betis had one win, two draws and three losses. Five points were eliminated, while Panathinax was at the bottom with one win and one draw. Four losses, 4 points out of the game.

After the final round of the group stage, the final result made everyone fall through.

Liverpool and Arsenal qualified as the first in the group: this is no big deal, they are the teams that dominate the group in their own group. Even Arsenal drew with Ajax in the last match and did not achieve a complete victory. It was considered a pity.

And Chelsea was squeezed to second place in the group by Barcelona. This is not a big problem. Although Chelsea is very strong, Ronaldinho is now in full swing and is almost recognized as the next king. Now, all he needs is A World Cup that crowned himself. Chelsea was defeated by him, not ashamed.

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

Manchester United were out of the bottom of the group stage.
