Chapter 515 There Is No Refund

Liverpool beat Manchester United 2-0 at home!

This quickly became the headlines of major media in the UK and around the world the day after the game.

With one pass and one shot, Yang Yang once again became the focus of worldwide attention.

After more than half the season, the previous doubts about Yang Yang's inability to adapt to the Premier League have completely disappeared.

Whether it was the first half or the second half, Yang Yang's performance was satisfactory.

As the focus of this round, the Shuanghong Club has always affected the hearts of countless fans, especially when it comes to the competition for the league championship.

With the three points of this game, Liverpool once again caught up with Manchester United, but they were still only second.

Manchester United's goal difference is a lot more than Liverpool's, which is the most depressing thing for the Reds.

Counting this game, Liverpool played against the other three teams in the top four in the league this season. They both completed a double play against Manchester United and Chelsea, but only lost to Arsenal, but Liverpool was at a low point at that time. Section's injury cost the team a tragic loss.

As Chelsea and Arsenal have also won opponents, the league standings have not changed much.

Cristiano Ronaldo didn't score, but Drogba did.

Therefore, in the Premier League scorer list, Yang Yang leads with 21 goals, followed by Drogba with 18 goals, and the Portuguese ranks third with 16 goals.

With nine rounds left in the league, everything is still in suspense.

...

Mascherano applied, and Yang Yang negotiated it. Benitez and the coaching staff quickly agreed that Winston Bogarde would be responsible for tailoring physical training for Mascherano.

The Dutch fitness coach is still an adviser to Liverpool.

So, Winston Bogard, who just flew back to China in early January, has to fly back to Liverpool again.

But this time he won't stay too long, a week at most.

Everyone in Liverpool is also full of confidence in Winston Bogard's training, especially a few injured players, and they all hope to take the opportunity to let Winston Bogard take a good look .

In many cases, some injuries of professional players can be avoided.

While Liverpool struggled to beat Manchester United in the Premier League, Barcelona were also mixed in La Liga.

Rijkaard's side have come to their senses after a 3-1 home defeat to Liverpool.

The day after the game, Rijkaard and Eto'o staged a play of reconciliation, and the two sides formally reached a settlement.

In the twenty-fourth round of La Liga, in the focus of the home game against Athletic Bilbao, Eto'o finally got the starting qualification again after a long absence, and assisted Harvey in the 30th minute.

In the 41st minute, Ronaldinho assisted Eto'o to score.

One pass and one shot, Eto'o's debut after his return from injury showed an amazing state.

It is worth mentioning that the talented teenager Messi was placed on the bench in this game, and Eto'o came on the bench in the 67th minute, but he did not perform well.

A week later, Barcelona play Sevilla away.

This is the title race in La Liga this season, with Barcelona at the top of the table and Sevilla a close second.

Eto'o still did not start this game, Ronaldinho, Messi and Giuly formed the front trident.

Rijkaard arranged a three-four-three formation that he has polished for a long time. The midfield is Van Bronckhorst, Xavi, Iniesta and Zambrotta. The four players are in a diamond-shaped position, and the defense is Puyo. Ernest, Marcos and Oleg.

This set of play allowed Barcelona to play hard on the road. Zambrotta assisted Ronaldinho in the 14th minute, and then created a red card for the opponent in the next 29 minutes.

But in the 39th minute, Daniel Alves assisted his teammates to score from the right to equalize the score.

After changing sides and fighting again in the second half, Daniel Alves personally took the knife and broke Valdes' goal again to reverse the score.

Two minutes later, Giuly was sent off with a red card, and then Zambrotta accumulated two yellow cards and was sent off.

Juande Ramos' side came alive at home, coming back against Barcelona 2-1.

This victory also allowed Barcelona to give up the league leader position, and Sevilla took this to the top!

The Catalan media are very dissatisfied with Barcelona's recent performance, believing that Rijkaard has not only lost his competitiveness in the Champions League, but his domestic domination in La Liga has also been challenged.

Losing to Sevilla, Barcelona undoubtedly pushed themselves into a corner.

Not only in the Champions League, but also in La Liga.

As long as they take another step back, behind them is an extremely dangerous abyss.

However, Rijkaard said in an interview with the media that the team did not have enough time to be frustrated, because the second round of the Champions League round of 16 will soon be the focus of the game, and they must do their best to prepare.

The Barcelona coach even said unabashedly, "At Anfield, we have to attack with all our strength."

Whether it is the Catalan media or the British media, they all agree that Rijkaard will adopt a three-four-three formation.

Because when he played against Sevilla, he deliberately adapted this style of play.

In this regard, Rijkaard did not give a direct response, but said, "Liverpool's home record is very good, so all the pressure in this game is on Liverpool's side, and Barcelona has no pressure."

Eto'o also said in an interview with the media that he no longer cares about other things, but only thinks about one thing, that is, how to help the team beat Liverpool on the road and advance to the quarter-finals.

Xavi, Ronaldinho, Messi, Deco and other players have also been interviewed by the media one after another, publicly expressing their confidence in winning a reversal away from home and helping the team advance to the quarter-finals.

Barcelona's technical director, Begiristan, said he hoped to see Liverpool continue to defend at their home ground.

"If they just want to keep the three-to-one score, then we'll be happy because our chance is here!"

"With our attacking ability, it is not impossible to score three goals away!"

But soon, the British media said that Begiristan was deliberately playing psychological warfare.

...

When Barcelona's provocation was sent to England, Liverpool's players also responded.

"I took a look at Barcelona's starting lineup against Sevilla and they didn't have a main team. Obviously, they gave up this crucial league game and paid more attention to our opponent."

In an interview with the club's official website, the head coach of the Red Army said, "We must prepare everything and deal with this challenge with a positive attitude. We have a good chance in the Champions League and I firmly believe that the team can advance."

Captain Gerrard also said that the first leg of the game has enhanced the Reds' influence in world football.

"Before the game, everyone thought that Barcelona would beat us, but with this game, we sent a signal to the world that we are strong enough to beat everyone, even Barcelona at Camp Nou! "

Gerrard also appealed to the players to play at their best, as they did at Camp Nou, and focus on every minute of the game, as Barcelona won't be taking the title of defending champions so easily.

Yang Yang, who scored a hat-trick at Camp Nou, also accepted an interview with Liverpool's official website, saying he was ready.

"We should forget about the three-to-one first-leg score and focus on the second leg."

"Barcelona are really strong, but I would say at Anfield we haven't lost to any team this season."

In addition to Gerrard and Yang Yang, Liverpool's players have also expressed their opinions, saying that the team is determined to win a victory at Anfield, even if the opponent is Barcelona who go all out.

...

When announcing the team's 18-man squad for Liverpool, Rijkaard responded to Benitez's provocation, and even felt a little irritated.

"I like to play against a team like this, because their coach seems to know everything, but usually, this kind of person who knows everything, often doesn't know anything."

Rijkaard even took a rare direct aim at Liverpool itself, arguing that Liverpool's tactics were too simplistic.

"Just watch a few games to see how they play, they're a physical team, disciplined, but no surprises, I don't think I need to find out how to beat them at all, because I already know enough."

...

The battle of words between the coaches of the two sides before the game undoubtedly ignited the war between the two teams.

The media all over the world have also paid attention to this focus war.

The confrontation between the Champions League champions in the past two seasons, the contest between the two talented rookies Yang Yang and Messi, the battle between the gorgeous offensive football and the iron-blooded disciplined forces, this is definitely the most eye-catching game in the world. .

Liverpool's tactics will not change too much, and they will basically continue the first round of the game.

Benitez is convinced that no matter how Barcelona adjusts, they will never leave two key points.

Organization depends on Deco, attack depends on Ronaldinho!

As long as these two points are strangled, Barcelona will be strangled by seven inches.

Although Sissoko did not play well in the first half against Manchester United, Mascherano has not shown the strength to replace him for the time being, so Liverpool's lineup will not be adjusted.

On the contrary, Barcelona will adopt a three-four-three formation.

Ronaldinho, Eto'o and Messi starting to form a trident, this is the most suspenseful choice.

The four midfielders and three defenders are a bit controversial, because in the game against Sevilla, Barcelona adopted a diamond-shaped midfield position, using two wingers Zambrotta and Van Bronckhorst , but the effect is not good.

But in any case, the contest between the two teams has already attracted the attention of fans and media reporters all over the world.
