When the final roster for the Champions League is finally released, following Liverpool's victory over the "Old Lady" Juventus at the Stadio Alpi.
Everyone is exclaiming, "The wolf is coming!"
Yes, among the top four, AC Milan in Serie A, PSV Eindhoven in the Eredivisie, Chelsea and Liverpool in the Premier League.
If Chelsea and Liverpool had not staged an "internal fight" in the subsequent group battle, maybe there would have been a Premier League battle in the final stage of this Champions League.
¡°Many times, we need more courage to admit reality than to avoid it. The current reality is that after the semi-finals, a British team is destined to enter the 2005 Champions League final.
Furthermore, the semi-finals in two weeks will be turned into an outright "British Derby" by the British team - no matter how unhappy you have been with these rough and simple guys! "
Regarding such comments, the most disappointing thing at the moment is probably the Bundesliga and La Liga. At least on this glorious list, their names have long disappeared.
¡°One is a representative of the technical stream, and the other is a steel chariot with iron-blooded will and never giving up, but they were completely defeated in front of the golden money that smelled of copper.
And now, the Premier League, where the Jinyuan offensive is strong, is in full swing!
If Manchester United can defeat AC Milan, this list may be far more surprising than it looks now!
The phrase "Wolf is coming" also became a hot topic in football the next day!
At the same time, the comments about Liverpool's victory over Juventus are also chattering, as if they will never give up until they fight for one, two, three or four!
"Playing at a home court. As long as they can get a score of 2-0, they can advance to the semi-finals. They didn't even show the courage to go 1-0. Their willpower determined that they were the losers of that game. . An infinitely close possibility was given up by them before the game. The nearly 10 offsides showed their impatience and disorder, like a euthanasia, leaving you unaware. But what is strange is that Liverpool placed The iron-barrel-like defense, strict and even violent defense, killed all the good hopes of the old lady at the Alpstadion."
"I mean if. If Juventus can beat Liverpool, maybe they will have a derby with AC Milan. With their style of play, they are more likely to win that game. But all this is just a hypothesis. , now AC Milan has entered the semi-finals, facing opponents like PSV, as long as they are not careless, their name should be in the finals."
"And Liverpool, the team that stepped on the heads of the Italian giants and entered the semi-finals with their chest high, used their wildness and organizational discipline to defeat Juventus, the top team in Europe. This once giant team, in that Oriental Under the leadership of the team, a rare game of iron-blooded football was played. The score was 0 to 0. Who would have thought that the scene would be so exciting if they had not seen it with their own eyes? A temporary captain who was less than twenty years old, led a group of A 'warrior' who was older than him, in front of a group of rich people with high salaries, beat them up hard. Maybe for Juventus, Lin, a man from the East, is their 'yellow peril.' What we are talking about is not The 'wolf' is coming, but the Orientals are coming. Chelsea, Mourinho, are you ready?"
"Chelsea. Mourinho, are you ready?" also woke up the world!
yes!
Don¡¯t just watch the excitement, Chelsea is the top seed in the semi-finals this year. Regardless of the results of the members of their team in the national team, now that they are gathered together, they are a first-class team.
The ruble waving by Abramovich was initially dismissed by people as a nouveau riche, but now it is flocked to. Latecomers follow the trend and lead the trend in football.
If there were such rich people in the football circle before the 21st century who would do anything for the stars, then Abramovich is the trend-setter who has once again led the trend after entering the 21st century.
An oligarch from Russia!
And when Liverpool left the Champions League and returned to the Premier League.
Facing the away game, a slightly tired Liverpool did not give Portsmouth any chance!
Taking advantage of the lingering power of the Champions League victory, coach Benitez put the main player Gerrard on the bench to rest and recuperate. Lin Shaodong and Alonso continue to sit in the midfield, with Garcia and Riise on both sides. Spanish defender Pellegrino, who has been in average shape recently, failed, and Traore was appointed as the left midfielder.
Facing the away game, Liverpool took the initiative from the beginning of the game. In just two minutes at work, they almost scored.
Portsmouth's Dutch defender Dezeu made a serious mistake. Facing Lin Shaodong, he actually made a missed defense and was forced into the small penalty area by Lin Shaodong.
Had it not been for Lin Shaodong¡¯s wonderful pass being missed by Baros at the last moment, I am afraid Liverpool would have taken the initiative on the field after the start.
"ah!"
Faced with a shot at hand, Barrush was a little ashamed of Lin Shaodong.
But two minutes later, they got another chance!
It was Lin Shaodong again. He received Alonso's return pass at the edge of the penalty area. He took a big step and brought the football into the penalty area. Facing the menacing Portsmouth defender, Lin Shaodong moved around in the penalty area as if he was nothing. , at the last moment, passed the football over the goalkeeper's head. This time, Morientes seized the opportunity.
?This Mr. Liverpool, who was unable to play in the Champions League, finally scored a long-lost goal!
¡°goooooal!!!¡±
In less than five minutes, Liverpool took the lead.
Subsequently, Liverpool's offensive gradually slowed down under Alonso's control, and Portsmouth gained a certain amount of initiative.
However, Liverpool¡¯s cold counterattacks from time to time still make the Portsmouth coach break out in a cold sweat!
In the 15th minute, Riise broke through from the wing and suddenly fired a shot 30 meters away from the goal. If the goalkeeper Ashtang hadn't been experienced and focused, he might have been scored by this sudden long-range shot. succeed!
"so close!"
The on-site commentator said with lingering fear.
"Facing Liverpool like this, we really have no choice. If we want to defeat our opponents, we must work harder than them. We must not just sit back and wait. For Liverpool now, even if Gerrard cannot play, it still seems like Tigers come out of the cage, they still have sharp teeth and claws! No matter whether they attack or defend, they are not afraid of any opponent What if, I mean what if, Liverpool, who have a one-goal lead, defend with all their strength, I think we will lose. .¡±
However, the commentator's worries are obviously unnecessary. Facing such an opponent, Liverpool will not fully defend and have no offense.
In the 27th minute, Morientes once again received a long pass from Lin Shaodong, but when attacking with the ball, he collided with the opponent's defender Dezeu. This was an obvious foul!
The referee awarded a penalty kick for Liverpool!
"Are you coming? Or am I coming?"
Alonso asked tentatively.
"You do it!"
Lin Shaodong waved his hand.
Maybe such a goal has no effect on him, but it is different for Alonso. As the attacking midfielder in this game, he needs a goal to prove himself, even if it is just a penalty kick, It will also allow him to find the feeling of shooting.
If he really ignited the Spaniard's offensive rhythm, he would still be terrible!
It¡¯s just that this time God was not on Liverpool¡¯s side. Alonso¡¯s shot deceived the goalkeeper but not the goal post!
The gentle shot drew a wonderful arc, but hit the goal post. The goalkeeper Ashdown hugged him excitedly. The Liverpool soldiers who wanted to make up the shot had no chance and shook it impatiently. Shake your head!
They are not worried about the missed goal, but they are worried about Alonso's state!
The Spaniard obviously did not expect that the game would turn out to be such a comedy, and that a safe shot would end in such a way.
"Why!"
That kind of regret echoes in the hearts of many fans!
Now, too many people understand that although Benitez can have Lin Shaodong and Alonso on the court at the same time, with this penalty, whose stability and importance occupy a greater position in Benitez's heart. This is already expected!
The Spaniard¡¯s heart trembles slightly!
Perhaps it was this penalty that made Alonso out of shape in the rest of the game, and the entire first half was a mess!
In the 36th minute, Portsmouth ushered in a long-lost opportunity and they got a rare corner kick.
After taking the corner kick, Kamara's shot from the back point tied the score at one to one!
"Oh my God! We actually scored, we scored. Do you think it is possible for us to win this game? No, as long as it is a draw, it is a victory for us!"
Many people were excited and cheered with this goal!
But the reality soon told them that good fortune and misfortune depend on it!
Without Alonso, Liverpool still has many other reliable people, such as Riise and Lin Shaodong!
Just two minutes after Portsmouth scored, in the 38th minute, LiPu's attack from the wing bypassed the center. Lin Shaodong, who inserted in the back row, cleverly received Riise's pass when Alonso was confused, and faced the pursuit and interception of two defenders. Lin Shaodong's sudden leap was like a god!
"Be careful about that Chineseman!"
Before the on-site commentator finished speaking, he was disrupted by the sound of silence!
Like a bomber raiding Portsmouth, Lin Shaodong's roc spreads its wings with great momentum. Two slightly older defenders were beaten to death by "random punches" in front of Lin Shaodong, a green young man!
The header shot forward without hesitation, squeezed away the defender, broke into the gap between the goalkeeper's hands, and hit the net!
¡°goooooal!!!¡±
"It's Lin Shaodong again. His goal laid the foundation for Liverpool to regain the initiative. I think such goals will become more and more common outside the Champions League. The Chinese have become indispensable for Liverpool this season. A memory, maybe many years later, when we talk about Liverpool this season, we have to mention this name"
