Chapter 18
After the game between Liverpool and Chelsea was over, the European media went crazy again, reporting the content of the game one after another.What about "Scar warrior showing off his power and playing goalkeeper", what about "flying Spanish golden boy, helping the team equalize the score", and "reproducing Owen's standard goal, the chasing boy returns to the top", and finally there is a long article Introduced the teenagers Gareth Bale and Modric, saying that one of them has a free kick that looks like Beckham, and the other will be a future midfielder.In short, it is to praise Liverpool so much.

Another Manchester United-Arsenal game was swept away because there was only one goal and there was not much excitement, and Wenger ran away on the spot after knowing about it. Do you think it is easy for us to win a game?And it was even more difficult to win against Manchester United. If you don't report it, it hurts people's self-esteem. After talking about it, Wenger was full of anger.

On September 9th, Liverpool regrouped and began to prepare for the second round match against Newcastle on the 19st. September is a real devil month for the entire Liverpool team. Starting with Everton on September 21, they have to play 9 games in 9 days. On average, they have to play one game every three days.Excluding those who have played, the next home game will be Newcastle on the 9st, Tottenham Hotspur at home on the 21rd, Galatasaray at home in the second round of the UEFA Champions League group stage on the 7th, and an away game on the 21th. Bolton.

Seeing the upcoming itinerary, Li Lin's scalp became numb.But fortunately, three of the five games are at home, so there is no need for exhaustion.

Thinking that the players have participated in too many games and did not have a good rest, during the three-day preparation time, Li Lin did not arrange high-intensity training, but let the players have a good rest.Occasionally, there will be some light-intensity 5-a-side games to keep the players in shape.

On the night of the 20th, Li Lin turned on the computer at home and entered the game. First, he checked the status of his players and found that the physical strength of the players in good condition was only 70% of the full value. full value.Li Lin considered that he would have to compete with Tottenham in the next game, so he decided to play these players with good physical strength in this game against Newcastle.And it's not like Li Lin has no chance. Liverpool suffers from a dense schedule, as does Newcastle, and the schedule is as dense as Liverpool.It can be said that they are two difficult brothers.

The match between Liverpool and Newcastle was scheduled for the night of the 21st. The weather today is fine with a little breeze, which is very suitable for football matches.When the two teams were still preparing in the locker room, Ruskin and Lineker came to introduce the two teams in the stadium broadcast room. Okay, so Sky TV put the two people together and then dedicated to explaining Liverpool games. (Hehe, Ruskin won't be lonely in the future!)
"Hi everyone, I'm your old friend Ruskin. I'm still Gary Lineker by my side." Ruskin said first.

"Hello, I'm Gary," Lineker said with a smile.

"Gary, what do you think the game will be like?" Ruskin asked.

"Well, Liverpool has an overwhelming advantage in the history of the Premier League with 12 wins, 7 draws and 7 losses, especially at home with 10 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss scoring 29 goals. The two sides have faced each other in 142 league games, and Liverpool has 66 wins, 37 draws and 39 losses. They have the upper hand. But the recent situation of the two teams is similar, and they both have to participate in a lot of games, so rotation is necessary. But Newcastle has made reservations for this game in the last game, and some of the main players did not play, but unfortunately Newcastle's main goalkeeper Given is injured, which is very bad for Newcastle. But despite Liverpool's rotation, the level of players on the field is also top-notch, so I think Liverpool may win this game." Lineker Er analyzed.

"Well, Gary's analysis is very good. Please wait for a while, we will watch the game after the commercial." Hearing Lineker say that Liverpool may win, Ruskin said happily.

Li Lin announced the starting players in the locker room, "Goalkeeper: Dudek, defender Finnan, Agger, Hyypia, Gareth Bell." Hearing his name, Bell shouted happily Said: "Head, don't worry, I will play well."

"Hehe, little Belle, we all believe in you. Sit down and continue to listen to me. The midfielder Haman, the two wings Nani, Luis Garcia, the midfielder, Modric, the striker Crouch, Ollie Qi, Captain Hypia on the field. That’s it. Let me talk about the tactics of this game. Finnan, your task is relatively heavy. Duff, you also know that the speed is very fast. Of course, you are not slow, but you still have to be careful, haha Man, you should also pay more attention to Martins. His speed is not slow. Bell, I will give you freedom in this game. The left is yours. Use your speed to break Newcastle's left. Road, come to the middle more at the right time, press Newcastle's midfield with Luka, don't let them have a chance to breathe, that's all. Guys remember, as long as we win today's game, we will be First place in the league, think about how long Liverpool has not been able to stay in the first place in two games. Come on, win the game!" Li Lin yelled.

"Roar." The players also yelled. They also really want to win the game. After all, some of them don't play often. If they perform well and win the game, they may become the main force in the future, so of course they will be more energetic.

"Welcome everyone to come back and continue to watch the game between Liverpool and Newcastle. The game is about to start. Let me tell you about the starting players of both sides. Liverpool really has a wide range of rotations, but the formation is still the main 4-1-2-1 -2, goalkeeper: Dudek, defender Finnan, Agger, Hyypia, Gareth Bale, two wide Nani, Luis Garcia, midfielder, Modric, forward Crouch , Olic, captain Hyypia on the field. For Newcastle, goalkeeper Harper, this is the original substitute goalkeeper, defenders: Carl, Bramble, Moore, Babayaro, forwards: Solano, Butt, Parker, Duff, striker: Ameobi, Martins. Oh, the main force is out. Does Rodell want to take advantage of Liverpool's large rotation to win this game? It seems that this game is very interesting." said Ruskin in surprise.

The referee blows his whistle and the game begins.Liverpool kicked off first. Nani received a pass from Modric and dribbled the ball along the side. Although Carl defended well, he smoothly cut inside and shot. Although he didn't score, he also gave Newcastle a warning-don't underestimate us. .Then both sides began to attack and became stalemate.

In the 5th minute, Duff dribbled the ball from the side and used his speed to overwhelm Finnan. Although Finnan's speed was also very fast, he was still half a beat behind. Then Duff made a pass, but the ball was ejected by Hypia, Parker's long shot hit the plane.

In the 13th minute, Garcia received a split from Modric, and also used his speed to eat Babayaro raw, and then made a pass. Crouch hit the football, but the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar.Crouch was also scratching his hair angrily.

In the 31st minute, Liverpool finally scored. Gareth Bale sprinted with the ball, made a pass at the front of Newcastle's penalty area, tricked Carl, and then crossed to Nani. In the gap, he shot furiously, Harper barely blocked the ball, but the ball came to Olić's feet. Faced with such a gift, how could Olić refuse to accept it, and pushed lightly , the goal was scored, 1 to 0, Liverpool lead.

Unwilling to fail, Newcastle immediately gave a mad attack.In the 34th minute, Martins took a long shot and the ball went over the crossbar again.

In the 37th minute, Newcastle made a comeback.Martins passed Hamann and Agger in a row, but he had no chance to shoot in the face of Hyypia, and then handed the ball to Duff on the wing. Duff did not cross this time, but knocked the ball back to the big In the middle of the penalty area, Parker shot angrily and the ball was scored.

"Goal in, Newcastle finally pulled it back towards the end of the first half. Oh oh oh, the linesman raised the flag and signaled that Duff was offside when he had just received the ball. Oops, what a pity, let's see Replay, oh, it's really a bit offside, but it's just one hand offside, the linesman is really aware of it." Lineker said helplessly.

In the 46th minute, after Martins' first goal in the penalty area missed the goal, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, easing the tense atmosphere of the game.

During the intermission, Li Lin replaced the exhausted Haman with Mascherano in the locker room to strengthen the defense, then replaced Nani with Kewell, who performed well, and then let Modric take over Liverpool's offense. And let him pay attention to the rhythm of the game.Then let the players rest.

In the second half, Newcastle did not make any substitutions. Perhaps the head coach Rodell still wants to continue to rely on these players.And Newcastle is still attacking without hesitation.But this time Martins' breakthrough didn't work. When meeting Javier Mascherano, who was young and physically strong, Martins stepped aside as soon as he bumped into it.Then Mascherano handed the ball to Modric, and Newcastle still had a lot of people in the backcourt because the offense had not yet started, so there was no good opportunity to attack, Modric did not attack, and It is continuous passing with teammates that pulls Newcastle's defense.

But because of this, the game was not as good as the first half.In this way, Liverpool passed slowly, with tension and relaxation, but the Newcastle players who hadn't got the ball for a long time panicked. They were behind.Finally, in the 68th minute, Modric took the ball and saw the gap on the right, and immediately passed the ball. Garcia received the ball steadily and entered the penalty area, and then scored with a low shot.

"Goal... Luis Garcia, a low-level shot, let Liverpool lead 2-0. There are about 22 minutes left in the game, and Newcastle should have lost. Haha..." Ruskin said in Lai Inkel said smugly in front of her.

Garcia, who hadn't scored a goal for a long time, was very excited. He hugged Modric, said two words of thank you indiscriminately, and then pointed at Modric to the fans, indicating that Modric has contributed a lot to this goal.

After the re-kick-off, Rodell replaced Butt with Milner to increase the offensive intensity.However, this also led to the lack of rear.In the 77th minute, Liverpool completely sealed the victory. Finnan dribbled the ball in for a rare time. After running more than 20 meters in the middle of the field, Crouch headed the ball into the goal before the Newcastle goalkeeper, 3-0 .
The ensuing game went into garbage time.Newcastle didn't score until the end. Poor Rodell wanted to take all three points, but Li Lin took three points.

After this campaign, Liverpool won all 5 rounds of the league and ranked first in the standings with 15 points.Portsmouth is second with 4 wins and 1 draw, and Manchester United is third with 4 wins and 1 loss.Chelsea is fifth with 3 wins and 2 losses. Although Arsenal beat Manchester United, they are still hovering in the second half of the standings.

And Li Lin also got 10GP points, a total of 203GP points.
