The king of European reversal!

After Liverpool reversed Arsenal 2-1, it won unanimous praise from the media across Europe.

The head coach Benitez was absent due to surgery and was unable to command on the spot. The midfielder Mascherano was absent due to a cold, and it was a strong conversation against Arsenal on the road. Liverpool had just managed to get out of a lot of unfavorable factors. blood road.

So far this season, Liverpool have played many reversals, and they can be called the veritable reversal king in Europe.

After the game, Sky Sports immediately commented that Yang Yang's brace helped Liverpool reverse Arsenal.

"In the absence of the coach and the unstable performance of the back line, Yang Yang stepped forward at the critical moment and scored twice to lead Liverpool to reverse Arsenal 2-1 away."

"It's not just a three-pointer, more importantly, this is the first time Yang Yang has scored twice in the Christmas schedule since he joined the Premier League for three years, and judging from his performance in this game, his state Very brave."

Sky Sports believes that this brace against Arsenal helped Yang Yang break through another hurdle in his career.

"In the past two years, the Christmas and winter break schedules have always been Yang Yang's nightmare. Every year and winter, his performance has declined, and he even fell into a scoring drought for a long time, but this time, he looks like Fully prepared."

Andy Gray, a commentator on Sky TV, also said that Yang Yang looks to have stepped out of the shadow of the Christmas devil's schedule.

"In this game, his brace not only helped Liverpool get precious three points, but also made people see his real superstar strength, breaking this level, his overall self-confidence and strength will be It's a huge improvement."

As a former professional star, Andy Gray obviously has a good grasp of Yang Yang's psychology.

Yang Yang also said in an interview with Sky TV after the game that he is happy with the two goals, but the most important thing is to gain confidence and confidence. This game makes him more confident that he can break the three-year resistance to the Christmas devil's schedule. .

"I think I'm ready!"

...

Yang Yang received overwhelming praise, but Liverpool's performance was equally astonishing.

The Times wrote a commentary that Liverpool will become the number one favorite to win the Premier League this season after beating Arsenal.

"As we all know, the Premier League's small cycle is known as a big signal to win the championship. The reason why Chelsea is not optimistic this season is that the Blues' performance in the small cycle is a mess."

"But so far this season, Liverpool have won all against the other three in the semi-finals, and they have performed very well, with 16 wins, one draw and one loss in 18 games so far. "

The Times believes that in the past seasons, Liverpool's performance in the small cycle has been unsatisfactory. Even in the first few years of Benitez's coaching, Liverpool's performance in strong and strong dialogues is still not good enough.

But since Yang Yang joined, it has brought stable goals to the team, greatly improved Liverpool's offense, and completely changed the situation. Liverpool have performed very well in small cycles in the last three seasons.

"After the small round of results, Liverpool's performance in the league is also quite outstanding. One league runner-up, one league championship, and this season is the favorite of the league championship."

The Times believes that Liverpool's outstanding performance so far is inseparable from Yang Yang's outbreak, and looking at the entire European football, Liverpool's performance is second to none.

"The only one who can compete with Liverpool is Barcelona in La Liga."

"Guardiola's team has maintained an impressive record of four victories in the last four direct matches against rivals, keeping pace with Liverpool, and this La Liga giant is also making great progress in La Liga.

"Although Serie A is known as Inter Milan's only show, and the Nerazzurri scored a lot of points, they did not have the upper hand in the direct competition with their competitors, and even lost to AC Milan."

The Times finally concluded that in today's European football, the only teams with real top strength are Barcelona and Liverpool, and these two teams will also become the biggest highlights of this season's Champions League.

...

After Liverpool played Arsenal, the draw for the Champions League round of 16 was also held at UEFA headquarters.

Liverpool qualified first in the group. The potential opponents of the draw are seven teams except Atletico Madrid. However, since Arsenal and Chelsea only won the second place in the group, there are only five potential opponents strictly speaking. .

Chelsea lost to Roma in the same group competition, while Arsenal lost to Porto.

Of the remaining five teams, Inter Milan lost to Panathinaikos, finishing second in the group, Sporting Lisbon in Portugal, Villarreal in La Liga, Lyon in Ligue 1, and Real Madrid in La Liga.

Liverpool's mentality about the draw is relatively relaxed, because no matter who they encounter among these teams, the Red Army has enough confidence and chance of winning.

In the end, Liverpool drew Real Madrid.

As soon as the draw results came out, the whole of Madrid fell into a mourning.

Everyone has no doubts about Liverpool's strength. Now that Real Madrid has drawn Liverpool, the possibility of advancing from the round of 16 is slim. If they stop in the round of 16 again, then Real Madrid will be disgraced.

This is the Galaxy Battleship that has stopped in the top sixteen of the Champions League for many years in a row, and is nicknamed the Champions League Sixteen.

Manchester United drew Inter Milan, Arsenal drew Roma and Chelsea drew Juventus.

The opponents encountered by the Premier League semi-finals are not weak. If you want to advance, you have to show your true skills.

However, with the current strength of the Premier League, as long as you play steadily, it is not difficult to advance.

Gareth Bell sprinted forward along the left line at the fastest speed. Welsh Flying Wing seemed to be flying. The speed was so fast that no one could catch up with him.
