Chapter 68 Poor Marseille (first update, please vote for me)
The media are sure that Chen Yingxiong will use the League Cup to score more goals. Their analysis is sound and it seems to make sense. But this time, they really guessed wrong.
Chen Yingxiong certainly wants to ensure that he scores a lot of goals, but this is definitely not an important reason.
What he values more is not scoring goals, but championship honors. As for scoring goals, he broke Messi's record of 76 goals last season. I believe that no one will be able to break his 87 goals for a long time. He is not in a hurry to continue to set new goals. ball.
He wants to lead this second team, composed of reserve team players and some youth team players, to the League Cup final and finally win the League Cup championship.
It's not enough to score goals by yourself. You have to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the second team players and let them play an important role.
As the saying goes, "A fence has three stakes and a hero has three gangs." I also need help.
That's why he gave up his chance to score a goal during the game and passed the football to his teammates, who then completed the goal.
No matter how many goals you score, it's all in vain if you don't win the championship. What he needs is honor, not just personal honor, but also team honor. Personal honors are very simple for him. For awards like top scorer, he just needs to keep scoring goals. But team honor is not that simple.
He needs collective strength.

Liverpool's first-team players, who had taken a break in the League Cup, returned in the eleventh round of the league. They easily defeated Fulham 3:1 away from home. Chen Yingxiong completed a goal and an assist in the game. .
Manchester United, which had just lost the El Clasico, also showed their tenacity. In the League Cup, after a hard battle, Manchester United finally eliminated Arsenal with a score of 2:1.
In the league, they also defeated Blackburn 2:0 at home.
When many people were waiting to see their jokes, they stopped their decline with a two-game winning streak.
It turned out that Ferguson was still able to firmly control this team and they were not really completely defeated by Liverpool.
After losing the El Clasico, Ferguson chose to continue fighting Liverpool to the end. This decision required courage, but for Ferguson, it was more out of inertia...
The current situation is that even if Manchester United loses the game against Liverpool, they are still second in the league and continue to chase Liverpool with 25 points.
So Martin O'Neill is right to say that the enemy that can really pose a threat to Liverpool is really Manchester United.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, a centipede is dead but not stiff, a rotten ship has three pounds of nails... these proverbs can all be used to describe Manchester United today.
So Liverpool really didn't dare to make any mistakes. Even though they are currently six points ahead of Manchester United, last season they were ten points ahead of Manchester United...

After playing against Fulham, Liverpool flew to Marseille, France, to challenge the team there.
This game is very important for Liverpool. If they can win, they can basically establish the situation of qualifying first in the group. They will be much easier in the next two Champions League group matches.
Therefore, in this game, O'Neal did not dare to rotate, so he sent his strongest lineup to play.
The purpose is to completely defeat Marseille in the opponent's away game!
Chen Yingxiong is not unfamiliar with the city of Marseille because he has been here before.
At that time, he was still playing for Zenit St. Petersburg and met Marseille in the UEFA Cup knockout round.
Marseille at that time was no match for him, let alone now.
There are many players in Marseille today that he no longer knows, and many of those from the last time they played against each other have left the team.
For example, the "Marseille killing machine" Loric Sana was once hung on his body to complete the action of turning around and volleying to score. He had already left Marseille and gone to other teams.
But Mandanda, the main goalkeeper from the last match, is still there, and is still Marseille's main goalkeeper.
I believe he must have been deeply impressed by how Chen Yingxiong still completed his turn with captain Sana attached to him, and then bombarded his goal.

From the day he returned to Marseille, Marseille's head coach Pope began racking his brains on how to deal with Liverpool, mainly how to deal with Chen Yingxiong.
They lost 1:4 in the away game, which can be said to be a disastrous defeat.
But we haven't reached the end yet, as long as we can win at home, even if it's 1:0.
At this time, he no longer considered competing with Liverpool for first place in the group. What he wanted was to ensure the right to qualify in the group and not be snatched away by Florence.
If they can beat Liverpool at home and get three points, they can maintain second place in the group, but if they lose to Liverpool, then Fiorentina will catch up. The two teams have the same points. Although Marseille has a record advantage over each other, isn't there still one game between them? So who knows what it will be like in the end, it’s better to nip it in the bud.
The question is, how to defend against Liverpool and Chen Yingxiong?
To this end, he also specifically studied Liverpool's games during this period.
Especially the match between Liverpool and Manchester United at home, he even watched the live broadcast.
He looked for inspiration from Ferguson and saw if he could learn something.
Ferguson's eyes lit up when he allowed his team to score early in the game. I think this is a good idea - Liverpool always scores first in games with others, but what if they concede the goal first? Maybe you can make them get into trouble!
Especially Liverpool's performance in the first half proved this.
Although in the end Liverpool relied on a desperate counterattack in the second half to defeat Manchester United 2:1.
But it still touched Popp deeply.
He felt that the problem was not with Ferguson's attacking tactics. There was no problem with the attacking tactics. The problem is that United only scored one goal.
This gave Liverpool hope that they could make adjustments at halftime and have the confidence and fighting spirit to equalize or even take the lead in the second half.
If Manchester United could have taken a two-goal lead in the first half, Liverpool's morale would have been depleted long ago, and it would be impossible to complete the reversal in the second half anyway.
So the key is to attack in the first half and score more goals, and to pursue the victory after taking a one-goal lead.
Moreover, Liverpool's strongest point is their offense, and their defense is much weaker in comparison. Pepe is a tinderbox. Who knows when his brain will cramp and he will take the initiative to apply for a red card. As for Skrtel, he is tall and good at heading the ball, but he is not flexible enough and his turning speed is particularly slow. Both full-backs are players with excellent assist abilities. They like to step forward to participate in assists, and there must be gaps behind them. Inle is the only one defending the midfield, and it is impossible to cover the entire midfield and backfield...
So the key to beating Liverpool is not how to prevent their goals, but how to score more goals faster and earlier than them!
The more Pop analyzed it, the more he felt there was something interesting about it, and his whole body trembled slightly with excitement.
I am more confident about beating Liverpool.
He was excited at the thought that he could beat the now-famous Liverpool side at home.

Ideals are always beautiful, reality must be cruel...
Pope once again overestimated his own abilities, as well as Marseille's scoring ability, and wrongly underestimated Liverpool's defensive capabilities...
There was a buzz at the Stade Velodrome in Marseille.
Marseille are fighting Liverpool.
The score on the scoreboard is 0:0.
The game has been going on for twenty minutes.
Marseille haven't scored yet.
There were beads of sweat on Bob's forehead now, even though it was already early November, which was considered winter in Europe.
His attacking tactics were unsuccessful. Although he attacked fiercely, he failed to score.
Marseille's performance is completely different from Manchester United in the video.
It was only then that he realized that not all retellings can be learned, it depends on whether it is suitable for his team.
Obviously, Marseille is not suitable for attacking.
And it is very unsuitable!
The attack made Marseille panic, and the football could not stay at the feet of any player for more than five seconds. This is of course done to speed up the passing and cutting speed. But the actual situation is that Marseille often makes passing errors...
If the attack failed, Bop was completely out of options.
Now he can only stand on the sidelines and watch the changes on the court, unable to do anything.
Marseille has nothing left to do, but Liverpool are welcome.
In the 31st minute, Liverpool scored first.
Marseille attempted to attack but failed, and Liverpool unintentionally scored the first goal.
The person who scored the goal this time was not Chen Yingxiong, but Gareth Bale. After receiving Gotze's through ball from the wing, he broke into the penalty area and successfully shot from a small angle.
After Liverpool takes the lead, there is nothing to say.
This game also completely fell into Liverpool's rhythm.
Even if Pop tried his best to adjust during the halftime break, it was to no avail. In fact, Pop himself knew that adjustments were useless, because he spent more than a week thinking about this matter and could not come up with an answer. Could it be that in the fifteen minutes of halftime, there would be a nirvana? Can't?
After the start of the second half, Liverpool continued to pursue the victory.
This time Chen Yingxiong made some gains. He used a direct free kick to expand the score for Liverpool.
Seeing that the victory was determined, Martin O'Neal began to make substitutions. This game was no longer worth his time.
The most powerful opponents in this group are nothing more than this, and Liverpool should take a longer-term view.
Now compared with the league, the Champions League has become less important...
In this way, Liverpool finally defeated Marseille with a score of 2:0 in the away game and won four consecutive group stage victories. They topped the group with 12 points. Not only did they qualify early, but they also had a high chance of finishing third in the group. One line out.
As for poor Marseille, this time is worse than last time. Last time they managed to persist for one chapter, but this time they lost their underwear without even half a chapter.
