Football: The strongest post-zero generation

Manchester City played one game first, and the points disadvantage seemed to be reduced to six points. In fact, it is very likely to expand to nine points.

Tottenham is considered the top team in the Premier League and a strong contender for the league championship in recent seasons, but it is still slightly worse than Liverpool, who are in excellent form.

In the ninth round of this season, Liverpool challenged Tottenham as a guest. With Li Qing's three shots and one pass, Liverpool won the game 4:2.

This campaign is at home. Whether it is Liverpool fans at Anfield Stadium or Liverpool fans in front of the TV, they all believe that their home team can easily defeat Tottenham at Anfield and further expand their league lead.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the scoreboard showed 3:3. Li Qing, who contributed two goals and one assist, shook his head helplessly.

The seemingly even score actually has a hidden meaning.

To be more precise, it was destroyed.

You must know that at the end of the 90 minutes of regular time, the scoreboard showed still 3:1, but by the end of the sixth minute of injury time, it became 3:3.

Liverpool coach Klopp's face was ashen, and it was obviously difficult to accept that the three points he received turned into one point.

As the biggest contributor to Liverpool's draw with Tottenham, Lovren held his head in his hands, giving people a very painful sense of deja vu.

Two rounds ago, Liverpool almost defeated Manchester City. It was Lovren's wave that caused Manchester City to score two goals in the final stage, chasing the score from 1:4 to 3:4, and turned a big defeat into a defeat. Regret to lose.

This round of playing at home was even more unbeatable, directly ruining the winning situation, and the 21-game winning streak came to an end. Fortunately, the league has remained undefeated so far.

Li Qing, who looked at Lovren, couldn't help but wonder, could this guy buy Liverpool's home draw with Tottenham from the outside?

This possibility exists, but neither Li Qing nor his teammates will question it.

Head coach Klopp was very angry, but for the sake of unity within the team, he told the media that it was normal for the team's overall state to have ups and downs, as long as the next league play well.

Lovren, who made mistakes, was also very sensible. In the locker room, he took the initiative to admit his mistakes to the whole team and begged for forgiveness.

We are all teammates, and we usually have a good relationship. We cannot blame a certain player for the winning streak being ended by Tottenham. It can only be said that the whole team did not work together at that moment.

Of course, it is one thing for the team to forgive Lovren, but it is another thing to be able to trust Lovren again.

At least head coach Klopp has decided not to appoint Lovren in the next games. Anyway, the central defender position is still sufficient. In addition to the starting central defenders Matip and Van Dijk, there is also England's young central defender Joe Gomez. and veteran Klavan.

Liverpool unexpectedly drew with Tottenham at home, and the points gap with Manchester City is still seven points. The local media from Manchester began to take the lead and began to be less optimistic about Liverpool's prospects for the league championship. They even did not hesitate to use Liverpool's victory over Chelsea to win the league championship last season. A gimmick to put pressure on leaders Liverpool.

Manchester City coach Guardiola and his players really drank the chicken soup served by the "Manchester Evening News" and believed that there is still hope for the league championship!

With seven points, there is obviously still a chance to catch up with the Premier League with 12 rounds left.

At the end of this month, Liverpool will challenge Manchester United at Old Trafford. Next month, they will face Crystal Palace, which robs the rich and gives to the poor. The 33rd round is a guest Merseyside derby, and the penultimate round of the league will be a guest at Stanford. Bridge Stadium.

As long as Liverpool loses two and draws one of these four key games, Manchester City can come back and win the 2017-2018 league championship!

As a result, the entire Manchester City team has regained confidence and is full of expectations for the next league championship.

Liverpool, who drew with Tottenham in the league, vented their anger on Leicester City, their opponent in the next 27th round of the league. Li Qing scored twice and assisted Salah and Mane to score consecutively, helping the away team Liverpool win at King Power. The stadium took away a 5:1 victory.

At the end of the game, the broadcast showed Vardy very depressed. He only scored one goal in the opening game, but ended up being scored five goals in a row. Is this... can we continue to play?

Vardy, who lost, took the initiative to find Li Qing...

Cry.

After finishing the league, the focus of the Liverpool team will shift to the first leg of the 2017-2018 Champions League 1/8 finals at the Dragon Stadium in the middle of next week.

Porto is one of the top clubs in the Portuguese Super League, taking turns with Sporting Lisbon and Benfica. Their most glorious moment was undoubtedly the 2003-2004 season. Mourinho, the current Manchester United head coach, once led Porto to achieve the Portuguese Super League championship and domestic cup competition. Champions and Champions League triumphs.

Followed by the 2010-2011 season, when Colombian captain Falcao and Brazilian giant Hulk won the Europa League that season.

Times have changed, Porto's overall strength has been affected by the attention of the league, and the loss of good players has been serious.

Except for Casillas, there is no well-known player in the team, and Casillas has also reached the twilight years of his career and his ability has declined greatly, otherwise Real Madrid would not let him leave at all.

Can such a team pose a threat to Liverpool, who are fully preparing for the game?

the answer is negative.

"aoaoaoaooaooooo——"

The Dragon Stadium, which can accommodate 50,000 fans, was packed. The atmosphere of this five-star stadium certified by UEFA was fanatical, and more than 40,000 home team fans in the auditorium unleashed their passion.

Li Qing, who celebrated his 17th birthday, was not the most dazzling player in the game. Mane, who performed a hat trick, became the focus of the audience and stole the limelight that belonged to Li Qing.

Although Li Qing did not score Mane on his birthday, he contributed two goals and two assists to help Liverpool beat the home team Porto 6-0 at the Dragon Stadium.

A hearty victory at the Dragon Stadium almost means that Liverpool has advanced to the quarterfinals of this season's Champions League ahead of schedule.

Why?

Since defeating Chelsea at home in the league last season, Liverpool has remained unbeaten at home in all competitions. If it had not been for an unexpected draw with Tottenham at home, the unbeaten home game could even extend to a complete victory in the league. Therefore, Liverpool fans have absolute reasons to believe in the football they support. The team will easily advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

Moreover, Porto does not have the strength to make a comeback at Anfield. It can even be said that Liverpool can use a substitute lineup to face the second round at home.

Klopp also had similar thoughts about taking away a big victory on the road, but the premise was that the team's physical fitness was affected before the second round of the 1/8 finals next month.

Judging from the schedule, Liverpool does have this risk.

The second leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals begins with a home game against Newcastle United, followed by a visit to Old Trafford to challenge the league's No. 3 player, Manchester United.

In order for the team to go to Old Trafford in a good spirit, Klopp will 90% use a substitute in the second leg of the 1/8 finals against Porto at home.
