Young Football Player - Chapter 346
The 2014 Golden Globe Awards caused a lot of controversy, and even indirectly led to the problem of infighting in the England team, which is likely to cause a major change in the structure of the England national team.
But those still need time to slowly ferment. After Li Chenglong returns to England, he will quickly prepare for the game.
On January 17, the 22nd round of the Premier League, Liverpool went away to challenge Aston Villa.
In the first round of this season, Liverpool was killed by Villa at home, so this time, it can be regarded as Liverpool’s revenge battle.
Villa has been in decline for many years, and they have no grudges against Liverpool. In fact, there is no revenge, but they should avoid double killing.
The press conference before the game. This was the first time that Jackie Lee appeared in front of the media after the Golden Globe Awards, which attracted a large number of English media.
“We are here to participate in the game today. Out of respect for Vera, I hope everyone can talk about issues related to this game as much as possible.”
Lee Chenglong directly blocked the reporters’ mouths from the beginning.
The Golden Globe Award is a thing of the past. Jackie Lee doesnt want to quarrel anymore and create topics for the media.
However, under the teasing of a group of reporters, Lee Chenglong still said: “I hope that Real Madrid can be drawn in this year’s Champions League knockout. After all, last year’s Champions League final gave me good memories.”
“But you were double-killed by Real Madrid in the group stage.” As soon as Li Chenglong challenged Real Madrid, reporters immediately raised objections.
“The group stage and the knockout stage are completely different competitions. Are you a reporter on your first day? You don’t understand such a simple truth?” Li Chenglong said something to the uninteresting reporter, and then left.
At Villa Park, Liverpool, with a determination to win, played very easily.
In the first half, Li Chenglong received a pass from Henderson in the penalty area to complete the goal. Then in the second half, he took a beautiful curve from the left side of the penalty area and completed his personal brace twice.
In the end, Liverpool defeated Aston Villa 3:0 away, and another goal was scored by Lambert who came off the bench.
Liverpool won easily, but the league ranking has not changed, and the point difference between the teams in front and behind has not changed, because this round of Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham and the dark horse Southampton have all won.
It was Manchester City who lost 0:2 at home to Arsenal. In addition, they drew Everton in one round. Chelsea have already opened a five-point gap.
After winning Villa, the next week will be the League Cup semi-final against Chelsea.
This season’s schedule has entered the second half, and it is time for the team to consider the goal plan for the next season.
For this reason, Jackie Lee deliberately took Gerrard to communicate with Rogers.
Lee Chenglong believes that it is no longer realistic for Liverpool to compete in the Premier League, so more consideration should be given to other games that can make a difference.
The League Cup has reached the semi-finals. This is the best chance to compete for the championship. Of course it is an important game.
As long as you pass the semi-final Chelsea level, the chances of winning the League Cup will be much greater.
In addition to the League Cup, the Champions League is also an important game that requires effort.
Although Liverpool played a bit badly in this years UEFA Champions League group stage, as Jackie Lee said before, the group stage and the knockout stage are completely two different types of matches. The group stage did not play well, but they counterattacked the team in the knockout stage. , That has appeared many times.
So as long as Liverpool adjust their form, the knockouts can still make a difference.
Lee Chenglong believes that Liverpools focus in the second half of the schedule should be the League Cup and the Champions League knockouts.
Of course, although there is no chance of winning the Premier League, but you can’t just give up, that is to try to ensure that you enter the top four.
Therefore, in order to avoid the time to involve energy, Lee Chenglong feels that it is necessary to quickly grab points in the Premier League before the UEFA Champions League knockout matches, so that the team can quickly return to the top four, and even better to establish some advantages.
In this way, after the Champions League knockout matches, the team can appropriately shift its focus to the Champions League and strive to achieve good results in the Champions League.
This season’s Champions League is the first time for Liverpool to participate in the Champions League after many years. It is the first time for Rogers to lead the team. It is the defending season for Lee Chenglong, and even for Gerrard, it is his curtain call season.
In short, for everyone, this year’s Champions League is very special and very important. Everyone hopes to achieve some good results.
On January 20th, in the first leg of the League Cup semi-final, Liverpool faced Chelsea at home.
Before the game started, Jackie Lee saw the banners drawn by the fans in the Anfield Stadium.
“King Bruce, you are the real best player, you are the best in our hearts forever!”
The League Cup semi-finals adopt a two-round home and away system, but unlike European competitions, this two-round system does not count away goals. If the two rounds are tied after 90 minutes, they will go directly to the plus Time race.
If the score is still tied after overtime, then the away goals will be counted, and the team with the most away goals will win.
If the number of away goals is the same, it will enter a penalty shoot-out.
This competition system is a bit strange, but it has been used for many years. This is the tradition of the FA.
At Anfield, Liverpool arranged the strongest lineup, while Chelsea rotated Fabregas and Kanter, two important players.
They probably want to have reservations.
Although the key players have been rotated, Chelsea is the first to take the lead.
After the game started, the two sides tried each other for a while, and then in the 15th minute, Hazard took the ball into the penalty area and was tripped by Emre Can. The referee immediately awarded a penalty.
Hazard personally managed it overnight and helped Chelsea take the lead.
But just 5 minutes after Hazards goal, Liverpool equalized the score.
In the 20th minute, Li Chenglong caught the ball in front of the penalty area to get rid of William, and then tried a long shot.
Unexpectedly, the ball just hit the side of Matics calf~~ and it bounced into the opponent’s goal.
This accidental refracted goal greatly boosted Liverpool’s morale. Then the team continued to launch an offensive. Before the end of the first half, Sterling completed the goal and reversed the score 2:1.
In the second half of the game, the two sides continued to see each other for a while, the score still remained unchanged.
Seeing that the time is almost up, Mourinho began to command the team to slow down and prepare to accept the result of a small away goal.
A small loss at Anfield, Chelsea have a chance to return to Stamford Bridge in the second leg to equalize or even reverse the score.
But in the 78th minute, Liverpool took advantage of a corner kick. Li Chenglong found a gap in the melee in front of the goal. He stabbed the goal and rewritten the score to 3:1.
“Bruce~~~It’s him again! He scored twice, this is his second score in two consecutive games!”
“He should be depressed that he missed the Golden Globe Award, all vented on the court!”
Lee Chenglong is in good condition. After scoring twice in the Premier League at the weekend, he scored twice in the semi-finals of the League Cup. This allowed the English commentator to consciously find a reason for him.
After Lee Chenglong scored that goal, the entire Liverpool team shrank the defense and kept the 3:1 score steadily until the end.
Liverpool defeated Chelsea 3:1 in the first leg. This is a big advantage, and there will be a big chance to advance to the League Cup final this season.
