Young Football Player - Chapter 335
I missed a good chance to enter the top four in the league, but as Rogers said, as long as the Champions League can make it to the knockout stage, everything is worth it.
/The last round of the Champions League group stage of the 15 season kicked off. Liverpool played at home against the Swiss team Basel, known as the killer of the Premier League.
Before the game started, the English media was also talking about the current situation of Liverpool’s qualifying.
“In the current Liverpool team, although Ludogorets still has a chance to qualify, it is actually not that big. If the Bulgarian team wants to qualify, they must beat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, while Liverpool and Basel are here. Only if they are tied can they meet the qualifying conditions.”
“Actually, Real Madrid has won five consecutive Champions League group matches. I believe they will not release the water at home and miss the chance of six consecutive wins in the group stage.”
“If Ludogorets is tacitly unable to beat Real Madrid, then the other team must come before Basel and Liverpool.”
“According to the points of the two teams, as long as Liverpool are unbeaten at home, they can overtake Basel in points, get a second place in the group, and reach the Champions League knockouts again after six years.”
The last time Liverpool participated in the Champions League was the season five years ago, but that season Liverpool failed to make the knockouts.
So Liverpools last Champions League knockout trip was already six years ago.
Speaking of which, although Liverpool can qualify for a tie, if it is really tied, Liverpool will qualify with a 6-point team, which will equal Zenit St. Petersburg last season and rank as the team with the lowest qualifying points in the Champions League. , That might be embarrassing.
At Anfield Stadium, both sides arranged their strongest lineups.
Liverpool only needed to tie to qualify, so they played conservatively after the game started.
This is Rogers arrangement, he hopes the team can play more steadily.
But he may have forgotten, can the current Liverpool stand defensively?
Sure enough, after only more than 20 minutes of stability, Liverpool was scored.
In the 24th minute, the opposing midfielder Fabian Frey shot a long-range shot from the world wave and directly broke Mignoles goal to help Basel take the lead.
Although the world wave is difficult to limit, no one was trying to limit the opponent’s long-range shots at that time, and it was still a matter of defense.
This is good, the match that can qualify after a tie gives the opponent the lead, and it really becomes a battle of life and death.
After taking the lead, the morale of the Basel team has greatly increased. It may have been activated by the attributes of the Premier League killer. Then, whether offensive or defensive, they will play the same.
Throughout the first half, Basel remained on the scene and seemed to really want to slay Liverpool.
Fortunately, Liverpool played well at home. Although he could not find a chance to tie the score, he did not continue to give his opponent another chance.
Liverpool temporarily ended the first half with 0:1 behind.
During the intermission, the English commentator kept worrying about Liverpool.
In the locker room, Li Chenglong also took the initiative to stand up and express his thoughts.
“Let’s attack. Attack should be the characteristic of our team.”
Lee Chenglong put it rather euphemistically, but in fact he has no trust in the team’s defense.
But Liverpool’s defensive performance this season is really not reassuring.
Rogers also agrees with this view. The current score is lagging behind. If the team can’t equalize, they will really be eliminated. Or they will be eliminated in a group that is not difficult. This might affect his career. “of.
At the beginning of the second half, Liverpool began to strengthen the offensive. Basel also made a substitution and replaced the rock Samuel who is currently retiring from their team.
But Samuels 35-year-old is almost out of gas.
In the 54th minute, Sterling passed a half-high ball from the right. This was not a good opportunity, but under the interference of Samuel, Li Chenglong forcibly completed a half-turned volley outside the penalty area.
Lee Chenglong’s instep hit the ball frontally, which not only allowed the ball to have extremely fast speed, but also unintentionally pulled out a small arc.
The ball successfully passed over the head of the opposing defender Safari, then went around the five fingers of the opposing goalkeeper Vaclik and flew directly into the upper right corner of the opposing goal.
“Gooooooooooal~~~~~~~”
“Bruce ~~~~ a shocking volley!!!”
“This ball is played so beautifully, it is a perfect goal!!”
“In the case of Liverpool’s unfavorable lagging situation, the Super Bruce stepped forward. He helped Liverpool equalize the score and put the team back in a favorable position.”
After scoring a goal, Li Chenglong rushed to the sidelines excitedly and let out a roar of venting.
He led Schalke to win the Champions League last season, but after joining Liverpool this season, he did not perform well in the new team.
His personal performance is not bad, but Liverpool’s overall results are not ideal. He has been excluded from the top four in the Premier League for a long time. It is also very difficult in the Champions League. He was double-killed by Real Madrid, and the qualifying situation was once precarious. These have all become doubts. His reason.
Although Liverpool’s Champions League is difficult, it is not unrelated to Lee’s suspension.
But those media don’t care about this. They will just say that Jackie Lee’s ability to lead the team is not good. Last season, he only made an unexpected appearance, and now he is completely out of shape.
Now that he scored this very beautiful equalizer, Lee Chenglong also took the opportunity to vent.
Soon, the whole Liverpool team rushed over and celebrated with Li Chenglong on the sidelines.
“Bruce, that goal is so beautiful.”
“How you did it is hard to imagine.”
Gerrard, Henderson and others all embraced Li Chenglong excitedly and cheered.
At the same time, the Liverpool fans in the stands were also chanting the slogan of the king. Lee Chenglong is already the king of Anfield.
Jackie Lees shocking world wave not only allowed Liverpool to equalize the score ~~, it also seemed to have demoralized Basel.
Then the game restarted, Liverpool continued to strengthen the offensive, but Basel did not have the momentum of the first half.
It may be that they are tired from running and can’t move under their feet.
So in the 76th minute, Gerrard also completed a long shot to help Liverpool overtake the score.
This goal is not only a go-ahead score, but also basically helped Liverpool secure a place in the knockout round.
As long as Liverpool will not lose two goals in a row, they will definitely be able to advance to the knockout round, because in the game on the other side at the same time, Real Madrid has a 3-0 lead over Ludogorets.
“The three goals in this game were all long shots, and they all went into the goal on the same side of the court, but it was Bruce’s volley that was the most beautiful.” Seeing that the situation is completely favorable for Liverpool, the English commentator is in the mood Others started.
Under the intentional consumption of Liverpool, the next game time ran very fast.
It didnt take long for the referee to blew the whistle for the end of the game.
At this time, Anfield Stadium was once again caught in a frenzy of cheers, and various red flag ribbons were flying around the scene.
“The game ended and Liverpool won. Relying on Lee and Gerrard’s goals, they defeated Basel 2:1 at home and successfully advanced to the knockout round.”
“After six years, we are about to see Liverpool in the Champions League knockout rounds and see the red team that England is best at playing in the Champions League.”
