The Ball at Your Feet

Before the draw, Liverpool thought that they would not encounter a team that was too strong. After all, this is just the Champions League round of sixteen. The premature play of the strong teams can easily cause the subsequent games to be unsightly. Therefore, they believe that the UEFA Champions League cannot let them draw even if it is for broadcast fees. The opponent in China is too bad, right?

The pessimists think that what Liverpool are likely to encounter is Real Madrid-Zhao Yaning and Real Madrid have a lot of conflicts, and there are many connections between Liverpool and Real Madrid. With the virtues of UEFA, it is easy to do this. Kind of thing.

However, it was indeed unexpected to draw Bayern.

Although Bayern’s strength lineup is somewhat inadequate compared to Real Madrid. In the Champions League, their strength is also ranked in the middle, but if the lineup configuration is reasonable, they are better than Real Madrid. .

Their goalkeeper is Kahn, and the back line is Saniol, Lucio, Ismail and Lizarazu. Such a defensive line is very strong. Although the two wingers are a bit old, Sagnol and Lizarazu are not full backs who rely on speed to eat. Their cross ability is very good. Especially after getting older, the skill of oblique forty-five degrees of long passes has become more and more sophisticated, and the strength is still not to be underestimated. Not to mention anything else, just talk about Lahm, who performed well in the Bundesliga last season. After returning to Bayern this season, most of the time, he was Lizarazu's replacement player.

And their midfielders have outstanding defensive players such as Hargreaves, Jeremiah, Demi Kellys, and Ze Roberto, as well as Ballack, Desler, Karimi, Sauer, Schweinsteiger et al.

Among these people, Sauer is old, and the opportunities are getting less and less. Demichelis used to appear more at the guard position, but this season, after Bayern coach Magath suddenly mentioned him to the position of the midfielder, he instead played the best season of his career. But even so, there are still others in front of him: Jeremys and Hargreaves, the combination of the old and the young, is still Bayern's best defensive guarantee.

Although their attack line is slightly weaker, they are also powerful. Of course, Barack needless to say, Deisler's talent is very good, or occasionally play well. Karimi is also one of the best players in Asia. Although Schweinsteiger is still immature, he is also a very law-abiding giant.

In the forward position, the main players are generally Mackay and Pizarro, while on the bench is Santa Cruz, who is praised by the European media as the number one guy in football. Although these people are not very famous, when it comes to strength, they are still quite good.

Although the strength of this team cannot be said to be a super strong team, it is also a powerful faction whose strength is greater than its reputation, and their style of play is very tough. When they encounter it, they will inevitably have a bad fight.

Although against Real Madrid, it is very likely that the opponent's superstar will be killed by various accidental attacks, but everyone is still more willing to play Real Madrid: after all, an open opponent game can save some energy, and against Bayern, kick In a fierce battle, even if the winning side is greater, the consumption will definitely be greater. This season, Liverpool is thinking about the league championship, hoping to save some physical strength, and any time consumption is a very troublesome thing for Liverpool.

Not just Liverpool, but the other Premier League teams are not lucky.

Arsenal are as unlucky as Liverpool. They drew Real Madrid, the second strongest in the group.

Real Madrid this year has actually shown a decline. In the group stage, they were completely defeated by Lyon and fell to second place in the group. But the lean camel is bigger than Madrid. Real Madrid will be Real Madrid when it comes. No matter who wants to meet a team composed of Ronaldo, Raul, Zidane, Beckham and others.

But Chelsea was out of luck: they drew Milan directly. As the strongest team in the Champions League in recent years, anyone who meets Milan can not help but feel uncomfortable. Although Ancelotti has a pig-like command, who can guarantee that he will do it every time by directing the victory on the spot?

"The signings of the three teams in England are obviously not very good. None of them can be sure that they will be able to win. It requires a lot of effort from them."

The words of the reporters pointed out the common problems of the three teams. They all have the hope of qualifying, and the hope is still great, but the problem is that if they want to qualify, they can't be too light on the game. This also makes them all have to face the pressure of two-line combat.

Arsenal are now behind, and it can even be said that their trouble has become a problem for fourth place. The entanglement between Liverpool and Chelsea has not yet come out, and now it is not clear who won and who won. At this time, you have to be distracted to go to the European war. It can be said that the pressure of the three is not light.

Manchester United, who was eliminated, is now considered to be all light. If it weren’t for the huge benefits of the Champions League, it would be related to the flow of tens of millions of funds, and Manchester United did not have much competitiveness in the league this season. Everyone even began to wonder if these guys were out of the game on purpose...

"It seems that we have no shortcuts." After reading the opponent's situation, Gerrard also sighed, "But it's good, we will go to the Bundesliga giants. The Champions League still has time, and in Before that, let us play with Chelsea first and see the highs and lows in the league!"——

In fact, when Gerrard said this, the English media, large and small, were also hyping Liverpool's next league game. It's not because their opponents are very strong, or Liverpool can surpass Chelsea after this game, but because, this time, they met Newcastle, and the opponent they faced was Liverpool's former golden boy Irving.

And this game, it happened to be Liverpool's home game, Owen's return to Anfield, has also become the focus of attention.

The Owen people also accepted an interview with reporters before the game. The reporter’s biggest concern is this: If Irving scored a goal in this game, would he celebrate the goal?

Although the relationship between Liverpool and Owen is already very bad, after all, Liverpool is where Owen grew up and where he became famous. The famous star returned to the place where he grew up. After all, most players choose not to celebrate. Even after some transfer stars, when facing their old club, there have been tears. Everyone would like to know what he would do if Irving returned to Liverpool.

In an interview, Irving directly expressed his attitude, "Of course I will celebrate my goal. As long as I score Liverpool's goal, I will definitely celebrate, just like playing West Ham United on Saturday. I will not feel guilty or embarrassed, but I will not rush to the Liverpool coach’s bench and make a V sign."

Obviously, Owen feels that he should celebrate, and if he doesn't provoke him, he will save face.

He also specifically explained his attitude, "I hope the fans in the p stands can understand that I must be 100% loyal to another club now. I once saw a player with Carragher not celebrating after breaking the main goal. , Neither of us can understand why he didn’t celebrate. Anyway, I scored a goal and I will celebrate.”

Irving's words naturally made the fans extremely dissatisfied. A player says that he wants to celebrate on their turf, and on the other hand he wants to forgive them. In this case, how can the fans accept it?

"We don't need to listen to what a relegation team forward said." In the Liverpool newspaper, the fan representative interviewed was filled with anger. "We have other things to do: we have to celebrate the championship-he I certainly don’t know how busy we are now: how busy the celebration of the Club World Cup is he certainly doesn’t know, he hasn’t even touched the Champions League!"

Irving's words not only caused an uproar outside, but also made Carragher curse in the locker room. At this time, he still hung up on him. Obviously, it was not kind. Carragher himself has always had a clear conscience, but being connected with this kind of thing really upsets him.

"You didn't really say this, did you?" The teammates couldn't help asking.

"Some situations are different." Carragher said blushingly. "Some players who have been actively sold off by the team do not celebrate the goal of the old owner. He said that he felt strange. I watched a game for fun, isn't it? Do you still have to fight with him about this? His situation is completely different."

A few of them were talking on the sidelines, and in the locker room, Gerald bowed his head in silence. He can't say anything. Although Irving was once a friend of his, but ~www.ltnovel.com~ Irving's attitude towards the team made him wonder what to say. He was confused once and couldn't keep making mistakes.

"It turns out that in his eyes, Liverpool and West Ham are the same." Garcia couldn't help but sneer when he looked at the newspaper. "Moreover, what's more interesting is that he actually talked about loyalty to us. This It's ironic that the words come out of his mouth..."

"I forgive him a bit now." Riise also opened his mouth. "He did this, maybe not intentionally, but really stupid. He returned to the Anfield game and expressed his attitude to celebrate. I also hope that the fans forgive him-would anyone with a brain do this kind of thing?"

"Anyway, we absolutely can't give him a chance to celebrate!" Carragher said, "Now there is a handicap for Irving to score goals in the casino, and a handicap for Irving to make penalties. Give it to me. Be careful. In this game, we can't give him any chance. If such a person gives him a chance to talk, he will dare to devalue us for nothing."

It is not easy to prevent Irving from scoring-this season, Irving has only played nine games due to injury, and in these nine games, he has scored seven goals. Although Irving’s character issue is questionable, he is indeed an undisputed strong forward in the Premier League environment.

But at this time, everyone's response was extremely loud.

If you meet this person, you should leave him speechless. This game, not only to win, but also to make Irving win nothing to say, to let him know that Liverpool will live better without him.
