The Ball at Your Feet

After the selection is over, the lottery will naturally come. And when the lottery was drawn, Zhao Yaning was also looking at the table tennis balls-he had always suspected that the table tennis **** were fraudulent. However, after watching for a long time, he also came to the conclusion: even if it was a fraud, he couldn't see it, he really didn't understand this...

Soon, Zhao Yaning was a little surprised by the few groups drawn.

Chelsea drew Barcelona again-the two of them are really close friends, and they can run into each other every time. But it’s not surprising to think about it, aren’t they propagating the ultimate in power football and technical football? Since it is the ultimate, then I will meet again. How can UEFA make money without letting the two of you meet each other and creating a topic?

Afterwards, Bayern met Inter Milan-Zhao Yaning was a little expectant this time. After all, Inter Milan has strengthened a lot this summer, Juventus fell, they bought Ibrahimovic and Vieira, and they are also in the league, they are also in the league, and they are at a loss. After reinforcement, can they compete with Bayern Munich? After all, Bayern is shameful enough this summer. First, Ballack left, and then he wanted to buy Aguero but the price was too high. I don’t know if it’s because of the problem of repairing the stadium. Now Bayern is struggling financially. It has not led the season until now, and its strength has dropped significantly. How is it hard to say.

After that, Liverpool won PSV-the draw was a good one. Although Eindhoven is the Eredivisie squad, Ajax is almost out of breath now, but their strength is not as good as Liverpool after all.

Then, Valencia drew Benfica, Manchester United drew Roma, Arsenal drew Porto, Milan was lucky enough to drew AEK Athens, and Real Madrid apparently suffered from the same disease as Barcelona, ​​and once again drew Lyon. The two strongest teams led one back...

"Why do I think this thing is fake every time after the lottery is drawn?" After the lottery was drawn, Zhao Yaning couldn't help thinking this way.

Afterwards, all three and four teams were also drawn out, and Zhao Yaning was also very satisfied with the grouping of Liverpool.

The third team is Galatasaray, and the fourth team is Bordeaux.

"Galatasaray in Turkey, and Bordeaux in France."

When these two names were mentioned, Zhao Yaning was naturally very happy, "This is not a strong enemy!"

Bordeaux, naturally, needless to say, the Ligue 1 teams have similar commonalities. Like Lille and Paris, they are also the same European war soft-footed shrimp. After all, Ligue 1 is not strong, but the league dividends are enough. Therefore, unless it is Lyon, Marseille, Monaco, and other teams, they rarely waste their energy in the European war. Galatasaray is not a mainstream league team after all. After all, the Turkish league is inferior. They are well-known, not because of their strength, but because they have a stadium called the home of the devil. But for Liverpool, the stadium in Istanbul contains very good sweet memories.

In fact, there are not many teams that can threaten the first team in the third or fourth gear. After all, it was not at the turn of the century in the past two years. In the past two years, the relationship between the restructuring of the Champions League group stage has changed many things. As the two rounds of group matches turned into discussions, the possibility of weak teams being lucky to score points is greatly reduced. The dividing line between strong and weak teams has become more and more obvious. In 2004, the third and fourth teams of Porto and Monaco met. It's hard to happen in the finals.

Even the most difficult group this year is the three rivals of Bayern, Sporting Lisbon and Sparta Moscow. A giant, a strong team, plus a Russian team, which made Inter Milan angrily shouted unfair, and even pointed out that the new UEFA president Platini wanted to avenge Juventus.

Zhao Yaning didn't care whether Platini was really a real Tini or not. What he cared more about was that after returning to Liverpool, he went to play the next league game.

Liverpool's fifth game, the team against Chelsea. This game is very important for Liverpool. After all, four matches and two wins are bad enough. If five matches and two wins, then what else to play?

And Chelsea is also miserable. At the beginning of the season, they have already lost to Middlesbrough once. The entire Premier League is discussing their decline. At this time, when they meet Liverpool, the game can be considered an extremely important battle.

This game is Liverpool’s first league game with strong dialogue in the new season. Liverpool still takes it quite seriously. The players listed are also the goalkeeper Reina, Maicon, Carragher, Hypia, and Li. Ser is the defender, Sissoko and Alonso are the back midfielders, Zhao Yaning and Figo are on both sides, Gerrard is in the center, and Kuyt is in front.

And the Chelsea side's lineup has also undergone a lot of changes. Their goalkeeper is still Cech, and the back line is Ferreira, Carvalho, Terry and Ashley Cole. In the midfield, they surprisingly arranged a diamond-shaped midfield combination, Ballack delayed the defense, Essien was on the right, Robben was on the left, and Lampard was in the front midfielder, and Shepchenko and Dro were on the front line. bar.

Is this Chelsea? Seeing their playing style, Zhao Yaning felt very awkward for the first time. Although such an arrangement can't be said to be a big mistake, Zhao Yaning always felt that they played like this, as if they were not as powerful as they looked at last season.

Maybe it's because I'm too worried. After all, the pressure on Liverpool from Chelsea last season was unprecedented, and Zhao Yaning would inevitably feel that they are very powerful enemies. Now, seeing them make such a big change, although Zhao Yaning has not seen them play, he already feels that they are not as good as last season.

However, seeing the faces of the Chelsea players, there is not much anxiety or dissatisfaction. Zhao Yaning also has to admit that at least they look good. Klinsmann coaches, at least not depressed them. They changed coaches so quickly. It's not easy to fight with high spirits.

Klinsmann is indeed a very charismatic coach, which everyone has to admit.

After the game started, Zhao Yaning was also watching the changes in Chelsea. Compared with the time when the Community Shield met, Chelsea has begun to have some changes, and Klinsmann has already put his mark on this team. It seems that they are paying more attention to oppressive attacks, and the frontcourt counter-robbing and passing control coordination has increased, and they have put a lot of the quick counter-attack they used to dominate the Premier League. This is not surprising. There have always been rumors that Abramovich is dissatisfied with Mourinho’s conservative and ugly tactics. If Klinsman dared to hold on to Mourinho’s tactics, he would not be a Chelsea coach. .

But what their strength is, Zhao Yaning still feels that he has to try to find out.

Soon, he got the opportunity. After Lampard made a corner kick, Carragher gave the ball to Zhao Yaning. After receiving the ball, Zhao Yaning rushed from his own penalty area to the opponent's penalty area.

The corner kick has just ended. At this time, Chelsea's attack has just ended, and it is too late to return to defense. Zhao Yaning's speed increased to the fastest, and at the same time, his eyes were looking for the defender of the Chelsea players, but to his surprise, until he rushed to the penalty area, he did not see anyone around to defend.

Is this really Chelsea's defensive line? It's empty and unbelievable. In the past, Chelsea’s defense was tight as if it were a bus, but now, such a defense can simply stop the bus.

So, what else can I say!

Zhao Yaning stepped into the penalty area, and Ashley Cole, who was chasing back, had no time to block. Without a word, Zhao Yaning raised his thigh and kicked the ball towards the goal!

"Al!!! Zhao Yaning opened the record for the first time!!! Unbelievable, a long-distance raid that was nearly 80 meters long did not encounter any interception!"

In an instant, the entire stadium was boiling. What goal can be more impressive than a long-distance attack? Such a dash of tens of meters and the game of scoring goals by himself is enough to make anyone cheer! Even Zhao Yaning himself, at this time, was equally excited and inexplicable: he really did not expect that he could score such a goal-the opponent, after all, is Chelsea!

With cheers, Zhao Yaning turned his head. He saw behind him and was always chasing, but Ferreira, who could not keep up with speed, and Essien and Barak who had been chasing back in the middle of the road, took another look and he saw Robben standing near the midfield, pinching his waist. With.

It turned out that although this team still had its original shape, it was already in vain. Ballack is not Makelele. He will not rest assured in the backcourt. Instead, he thinks about going to the frontcourt to shoot. After all, shooting in front of goal is his specialty. Robben was finally free after leaving Mourinho, no longer being forced to run back and forth to chase and intercept. And Essien and Lampard, I'm afraid they are also powerless, right?

Although Mourinho has a bad personality, he has tactical merits after all. Under his coaching, it is impossible for him to think that he will be in a man's land like this. But from this game, although Klinsmann's tactical reform ideas are very clear, it seems that the reform has not been completed yet.

A team, three new aids, a new formation, and a new coach at the same time, it is always not so easy to complete the reform.

Since you have carried out the meaningless reforms properly and at the same time have not completed the reforms, don't blame us for taking advantage of you.

Zhao Yaning waved his teammates to continue to strengthen the offensive, but did not choose to back down. What surprised Zhao Yaning was that Chelsea’s midfielder obviously did have some improvements in attack. They are no longer a simple wing breakthrough. In terms of passing through the midfield, they did make progress. .

It's just such progress, but it's not so fast to beat a stable and mature team.

Before the end of the first half, Zhao Yaning finally found a chance again. He made a pass and kicked it into the penalty area. Kuyt grabbed a shot and kicked the ball into the goal. When he turned around, he noticed. , The person closest to him turned out to be Figo who ran into the penalty area.

There seems to be something wrong with Chelsea's defense, and even Kuyt can calmly start. Then, take this opportunity to go to another city.

Before the end of the game, Zhao Yaning made a free kick pass and again dangled into the penalty area. Vidic again scored with a header!

"The gap between Chelsea and Liverpool now seems obvious."

The commentator’s words, with a hint of surprise~www.ltnovel.com~Liverpool obviously hasn't become much stronger, so Chelsea has weakened. "The 3-0 score is simply an incredible thing in the red and blue battle. In a game, Liverpool declared their confidence to win the championship, and Chelsea, it takes time to rebirth from Nirvana."

This Chelsea doesn't look like Chelsea anymore, and it doesn't make much sense to kill. Zhao Yaning said with emotion, a change of coach is like a knife change, especially when Chelsea has just ousted, or the coach who laid the foundation for them. After such a change, they will of course be silent for a while.

Winning this victory, Liverpool also got a respite. To be able to beat the opponent 3-0, Liverpool's inspiring fighting spirit also adds confidence. Chelsea are not dead and worthless, at least, they have helped Liverpool improve.

"You played well." After the game, Zhao Yaning thought for a while, took off his jersey and walked towards Lampard, "If you have some time, you will get better."

"Of course." Lampard knew what Zhao Yaning was saying was kind, but he nodded, "We will definitely get better... But don't change the jersey."

Zhao Yaning was a little surprised, "Will Klinsmann also give such an order?"

"No, no, it's just...I don't want to change."

Zhao Yaning looked at Lampard and slowly dropped his hands. Perhaps, what Mourinho brought to this team still has some leftovers. Not tactics, not personnel, but something beyond it.
