Chapter 139: Half of the main force and half of the substitute (the second one is for a monthly pass)

The situation of Ferguson and Manchester United has nothing to do with Liverpool. After the game, Chen Yingxiong and O'Neal will not care about Manchester United. For them, whether Ferguson can continue to work as Manchester United head coach, they will They are okay. ""

After the focus battle between Liverpool and Manchester United, the Champions League quarter-finals have also come to an end, and all eight teams participating in the quarter-finals have also been released.

Then UEFA held a lottery ceremony. This lottery ceremony will directly determine the quarter-finals and semi-finals. At the same time, after deciding on the two rounds of matches, the situation of the finals will be obvious.

In the eyes of outsiders, Liverpool had good luck. They were assigned to the upper half, avoiding the rivals of Barcelona and Real Madrid. Real Madrid and Barcelona are divided into the lower half. If they want to advance to the finals, they must fight each other in the semifinals.

The matchup between Real Madrid and Barcelona has been the mainstream of European football in recent years, because these two teams have been ahead of the giants of other European continents by too many, and no one can compete with them anymore. They play by themselves. In La Liga, the "Western Super League" formed by the two of them far surpasses the other 18 teams. Every season, no matter who is the second in the league, the gap with the third in the league is more than ten or twenty points. .

In the strong Champions League, they can always advance to the top 16 with an undefeated record.

If it weren't for Liverpool, maybe these two teams would be able to meet in the final every year.

This time Liverpool drew a good draw in the quarter-finals. Their opponent was Porto from Portugal.

In terms of strength comparison, Porto is definitely not Liverpool's opponent. Everyone said that Liverpool had already won tickets for the semi-finals in advance.

Porto’s coach Victor Pereira said directly in an interview after the draw ceremony: “Liverpool is a team that the whole of Europe is unwilling to meet. Our luck is too bad... I don’t know. Can we go further, it is unrealistic to talk about this issue now, let's talk about it when we play the first game with Liverpool..."

In fact, Porto is Portugal’s real giants. It has won the European Champions Cup twice. Now it has become popular in Real Madrid. The famous Mourinho coach was first known by the world from Porto. Porto’s first The two Champions League titles were won under his leadership. "" Later, Boas, who was once considered "Mourinho second", also came from Porto. He led Bordo to the triple crown.

But facing Liverpool, the team that won the second most championship in Portuguese football history, also had to bow its head.

※※※

The match against Porto will not take place until the end of March.

Before that, Liverpool had another league game-Liverpool played against Sunderland at their home court. This game was not too difficult to play, so O'Neal made a rotation and played against Sunderland with half the main players and half the substitutes.

Even so, Liverpool beat Sunderland 3-0 at home.

After that game, many English media did not care about the feelings of Manchester United and Ferguson, and directly put the "new generation of Premier League hegemon" on Liverpool's head.

Martin O'Neal has always insisted on a low-key style of acting, and now it doesn't help.

Everyone firmly believes that Liverpool has replaced Manchester United as the true hegemon of the Premier League. After the Premier League has sent away 21 years of Manchester United era, it is about to usher in an era of Liverpool that does not know how long it will last... There is only one way to prevent Liverpool from dominating the king, and that is to let Chen Yingxiong turn. Will leave.

But this is nothing short of whimsical.

Chen Yingxiong scored one goal and assisted one goal in this game. Now he has a great time in Liverpool. The owner and manager of the Liverpool club are his good friends. Martin O’Neal meets all his requirements. In the dressing room, Gerrard supports him. He has a large group of good friends and Iron buddies, they are firmly united around him, but the hero of Chen is looking forward. From the top to the grassroots, everyone supports him. He is just like the Supreme Emperor. Why did he leave?

Before Manchester City offered a astronomical weekly salary of 300,000 pounds to attract Chen Yingxiong, they were unsuccessful. Therefore, financially, he would not easily betray Liverpool because of some small favors.

In terms of honor, Liverpool has won the Premier League title last season, and now Liverpool has the ability to compete for the championship in all aspects. It is no longer the previous team that could only make people shake their heads and sigh. The latest chapter of the church stayed in Liverpool, and the future was bright. There really is no reason for Chen Yingxiong to transfer and leave.

After finishing Sunderland with half of the main force and half of the bench, Liverpool ushered in Porto at home.

It is also half the main force and half the substitute.

The narrators were a little surprised, but he didn't expect that Martin O'Neal, who has always been cautious, would be so bold.

"Does this look down on Porto?"

To say that Liverpool look down on Porto, everyone really believes it.

After all, the difference between the strength of the two teams is too big, plus Liverpool has an invincible hero Chen, what does Porto have? The previous meritorious players are almost gone, and they can reach the quarterfinals entirely because of their luck.

Generally speaking, when Liverpool use such a lineup to deal with an opponent in the Champions League, the opponent will definitely feel insulted, will be very angry, and will fight Liverpool to the death.

But Porto's coach Pereira is the opposite-he doesn't feel insulted at all, on the contrary, he is very happy. Because Liverpool still uses rotation when facing them, this shows that Liverpool did not have the main force to do their best. If there is no main force, then Liverpool will not be as strong as in the legend. Maybe we Porto have the opportunity to take advantage of it?

With this idea, Pereira asked his players to go all out in the away game. Don't just think about keeping the tie, but try to score goals.

As long as there is an away goal in hand, Porto will not panic. Back at home, does it mean that there will be no chance?

Before the game, Victor Pereira really felt that his team was out of play.

But now, when I look at it, Liverpool has only used half of the main force!

He is keenly aware that this might become his own opportunity.

So he hurriedly revised the strategy of the game a few minutes before the game, hoping to get at least one away goal.

But when the game started, Pereira realized how wishful he was...

With only half of the assistant Liverpool, that is also Liverpool!

And most importantly, no matter how Martin O’Neal rotates, Hero Chen is still on the court!

This is the worst!

If you have the ability, O'Neill will rotate half of the main force and turn Chen Yingxiong into it!

Through this game, Victor Pereira fully realized that Chen Yingxiong can top Liverpool's half of the main force. The so-called rotation half of the main force, as long as Chen Yingxiong is still on the court, it does not count. Even if he only rotates Chen Hero, he can be regarded as "half the rotation of the main force"!

※※※

In the 20th and eighth minutes of the game, Liverpool took the lead and Chen Yingxiong was the one who scored the goal.

Then the game entered into Liverpool's most familiar rhythm. After they took the lead, they could comfortably play a defensive counterattack.

However, because Porto temporarily adjusted their strategy before the game, the players were heavily pressed and wanted to score an away goal, naturally the back line was empty.

So at the end of the first half, it was not surprising that Porto, who was eager to score goals, was defeated by Liverpool...

Two goals in the first half lead, this game has basically lost the suspense.

And the two goals are like two basins of cold water, which completely awakened Porto’s coach Victor Pereira.

It made him realize what a behemoth he was facing! He even wanted to take at least one goal difference in their home court...

I simply don't know how to write dead words!

During the intermission, Pereira returned to the team's previous tactics-defense, in addition to defense or defense.

In fact, Pereira was planning to let the team defend a 0:0 on the away field. In this case, returning to the home court would not be so passive.

How can I think that I was confused by Liverpool's removal of half of the main force, and unexpectedly gave birth to thoughts that I shouldn't have.

Now that the big mistake has been made, I don’t know if it’s too late to make up for it, but it’s always something to be done. Is it better to lose two goals than to lose four?

※※※

In the second half, Porto retreated. Liverpool thought it was a trick to get the snake out of the hole. Because Porto showed a very strong goal in the first half, everyone felt that Porto definitely wanted to score.

After more than ten minutes of observation, it was discovered that Porto really didn’t want to score. They just wanted not to lose the ball...

In this case...Liverpool can confidently press on.

Then in the 74th minute, Liverpool finally blasted Porto's dense defense and Chen Yingxiong scored a goal.

In the end, relying on Chen Yingxiong's score and Adam Johnson's goal, Liverpool beat Porto at home 3-0.

This result made many people feel that the second round of the game lost suspense.

After the match, Porto’s coach Victor Pereira also admitted that Liverpool were too strong and they could not compete with it.

"I think the three teams of Liverpool, Barcelona and Real Madrid should form another Champions League, where their three teams will play a home and away double round-robin system, and finally rely on points to determine the championship."

Pereira on the stage was helpless, but the reporters in the audience were amused by his complaints.

This may be the voice of many other team coaches!

Because these three teams are really too strong now. Although Liverpool is not as powerful as Barcelona and Real Madrid, it is only a matter of time before it reaches the height of the two teams.

Liverpool just defeated Manchester United, a season of double play, two consecutive defeats at Old Trafford, they have lost their opponents in England, then, naturally, they will sweep Europe!
