Young Football Player - Chapter 348
The League Cup semi-final is over, and the next Champions League knockout is not far away, so Liverpool need to quickly grab some points in the Premier League and prepare some points in advance.
On January 31, the 23rd round of the Premier League, Liverpool played against West Ham United at home.
The Hammers played quite well this season, and after more than a dozen rounds, they can be in the top four, which is really good.
But now, they seem to lack stamina. They have suffered four consecutive rounds of invincibility before. The last round of home games was difficult to defeat the relegation team Hull City, which ended their invincibility, but the Premier League ranking has fallen very fiercely. .
Before the game started, Rogers took the initiative to stand up for the team.
“I believe everyone already knows that Southampton lost, so we must win this game.”
“As long as we win the game, we can successfully squeeze out Southampton and return to the top four again.”
“Being able to return to the top four before the UEFA Champions League knockout round will be a huge incentive for our team.”
In an earlier match in this round of the Premier League, Southampton lost to Swansea with an upset 0:1 at home.
At present, Liverpool is only three points behind Southampton. As long as this game against West Ham United is successfully won, Liverpool will be able to tie Southampton in points and squeeze into the top four with a goal difference advantage.
Of course, if Manchester United also lost points this round, Liverpool could even squeeze into the top three.
At Anfield Stadium, Liverpool, with a determination to win, showed full momentum.
Just 9 minutes into the game, Sterling caught the opponent’s return pass error and successfully intercepted the ball and broke into the penalty area to complete the goal.
Sterling’s opening goal didn’t seem to convince the Hammers. Alledys commanded his team to strengthen the offensive from the sidelines, demanding an equalization as soon as possible, but Liverpool quickly gave them a tough counterattack.
In the 18th minute, Gerrard scored the ball in the middle, and Lee Chenglong inserted from the left at high speed and made a low-level shot. The Hammers’ Spanish goalkeeper Adrian couldn’t react at all. The ball flew directly in from his feet. In the goal.
“Bruce, he scored goals again. He has been in a very good condition recently, and scoring is as easy as drinking water for him.”
After Lee Chenglong scored, Liverpool continued to strengthen the attack.
In the 36th minute, West Ham again made a mistake on its own. Henderson stole the Liverpool veteran Downing in midfield and then transferred to Coutinho.
Coutinho slammed forward, Lee Chenglong ran back and jumped in, took the ball away from the opposing defender Collins, and swiftly pushed the goal.
“Bruce, he has scored twice, this is his two consecutive Premier League goals, he is in really good form.”
“As the Champions League knockout matches are coming, this is definitely good news for Liverpool fans.”
Lee Chenglong scored twice and a goal from Stirling allowed Liverpool to lead West Ham 3-0 in the first half. This game is basically not a big problem.
At the beginning of the second half of the game, the two sides inked each other for a while, and the score did not change, so Rogers began to make substitutions and let Sturridge, who had just recovered from his injury, go up to find his state.
The Champions League knockout is coming, Sturridge is returning from injury at this time, which is also good news for Liverpool.
Sturridge is really the kind of player who can have an effect on the field.
In the 73rd minute, Moreno stepped forward to assist and sent a cross from the wing. Sturridge found an opportunity in the penalty area, went up to the goal and stabbed the ball into the opponent’s goal.
Sturridges goal completely killed the game, but Lee Chenglong is still looking for opportunities to pursue his own hat trick.
Finally, in the 84th minute, Gerrards long shot made a corner kick, and then Coutinho took a corner kick. Lee Chenglong pulled up on a dry ground, jumped high from the crowd, slammed his head and broke the goal again. The goal of the Hammer Gang.
“Gooooooooooooal~~~~~~”
“Super Bruce~~~~~Hat Trick~~~~He completed the hat trick!!”
“With this header, Bruce completed his second Premier League hat trick and also his first league hat trick at Anfield!!!”
After Lee Chenglong scored, the uniform King Bruce shouted again in Anfield Stadium.
The whole Liverpool team celebrated with Li Chenglong on the sidelines, while the dark horse team West Ham United was at a loss.
It seems that the Hammer Gang was a bit stunned.
In this way, Jackie Lee led the team with a hat trick to help Liverpool beat West Ham United 5-0 at home, winning the team’s biggest victory this season.
After this big victory, Liverpool returned to the top four as they wished.
But because Manchester United won, Liverpool can only be ranked fourth.
In this round of Premier League matches, the most concerned is Chelsea vs. Manchester City. It was a battle between first and second place.
Although Chelsea lost to Liverpool in the League Cup semi-finals, they were ready for this focus game and defeated Manchester City 2:1 at home to expand their lead again.
In the current Premier League standings, Chelsea continue to lead with 55 points. Manchester City, who is in second place, has only 47 points, which is a full 8 points behind, a very large points gap.
Manchester United in third place scored 43 points. Liverpool and Southampton and Arsenal both scored 42 points. However, Liverpool had the most goal difference, followed by Southampton and Arsenal the least.
The Tottenham points are also 40 points later, not much behind.
Overall, Liverpool managed to get back into the top four, but the position is not stable.
Southampton, Arsenal and Tottenham behind him, these three teams may threaten Liverpool’s position at any time.
But Liverpool can also threaten the team in front of him. Now Liverpool is one point behind Manchester United and five points behind Manchester City. The gap is not that big.
The current Premier League has begun to become the outlier of Chelsea, and several other teams are competing for three Champions League qualifications.
In the last four rounds of Premier League matches, Lee Chenglong scored a total of six goals, which brought his league goals to 22~~ Diego Costa is also in good shape recently, four He scored four goals in a round, and his number of goals came to 17.
But Aguero was injured during the intensive Christmas schedule, and his number of goals remained at 14.
In the Premier League scorer list, Lee Chenglong’s lead is more obvious, leading Costa by five goals and Aguero by eight goals.
In the past few days, those gambling companies have adjusted the odds of the Premier League Golden Boots very optimistically about Lee Chenglong.
Lee Chenglong is likely to come to the Premier League seamlessly after two consecutive Bundesliga small steel guns in the previous two years and immediately win the Premier League Golden Boot.
But the Premier League Golden Boot is still early, and we have to wait until the end of the season. In addition, Diego Costa and Aguero are not completely out of chance to catch up.
However, Lee Chenglong has a good chance to break another record-the scoring record in the first season of joining the Premier League.
The previous record holder was Torres. He scored 24 goals in the Premier League during the season, the first season that Tony joined Liverpool, which was the highest record before.
In addition, Van Nistelrooy and Aguero, they both scored 23 goals in their first season in the Premier League, which is the second highest record.
Today, Jackie Lee has scored 22 goals in the Premier League. He is only one goal away from Ruud van Nistelrooy and Aguero’s records, and only two goals behind Torres’s record. There are still 15 rounds in the Premier League this season. To break the record, it is only a matter of time.
