Midfielder

The American owner who bought Liverpool now really regretted not asking someone to tell fortunes when he initiated the acquisition. Looking back at the deal, he found that it was a sure loss.

I don’t know who said that investing in the Premier League was a sure win. Who was that guy? ? I guess these Americans really want to ask who can make such a conclusion. Has he ever done business?

Look, this is the end of borrowing and acquiring. When your performance starts to decline sharply, don’t expect to get back the money you put in from the stock market. Maybe the result this time is a loss!

Of course, that is the worst result. Before that, these people still hoped that the team could come back to life.

At least let the next buyer see hope, otherwise, they will definitely lose badly this time.

Even if they want to transfer the team now, it is estimated that few people will act immediately. Those speculators are waiting for Liverpool to reduce the price significantly. At that time, the American businessmen will definitely lose money.

Moreover, this place has become a graveyard for coaches. Benítez came here with high spirits, but after a season of struggle, he returned to Spain in disgrace, leaving a mess for Dalglish to clean up.

Although the few Spanish players this guy brought with him can still play a role under Dalglish.

But Benítez has ruined Liverpool's reputation in one season, and he has also found a deadly enemy for Liverpool. I really don't know how Dalglish cursed Benítez in his mind.

Why do you provoke Mourinho, that madman? Do you think Liverpool's situation is not bad enough?

And if you provoke him, it would be fine if you really win, but in the end, you are still stepped on by others.

In the league and the Champions League last season, no matter which one, they were suppressed by their opponents, and they didn't even have a chance to fight back. This season is even more thorough, even the main core has been poached, what the hell is there to kick!

Benítez may have left behind only a string of bad names, but he didn't leave behind any good things. Moreover, he refused to return to the Champions League during his tenure and excluded many local players.

Dalglish is a traditional English coach, but Liverpool's entire structure now follows the European style, defending steadily and then waiting for an opportunity to counterattack, which is not a majestic offensive type at all.

This tactical thinking almost took Dalglish ten rounds of games to change.

It was not easy for Dalglish to control this team on the verge of collapse, but just when it was a little better, Chelsea's blow hit Liverpool's courage with great difficulty.

It is not a shame to be defeated by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, but this is only the first game. Winning 2-0 in the league is just the beginning. Four days later in the League Cup, Chelsea also did not leave Dalglish any face, and it was another 2-0 at Anfield.

This time, they also scored one goal in each half, and Chelsea's tactical suppression was very fierce.

In the league, they also gave Cisse two shooting opportunities. This time, Dalglish used Crouch's high point, but throughout the game, this guy who is more than two meters tall didn't even have a header except for the header.

What is a bamboo pole? You should understand it by looking at Crouch. It is a thin and long pole.

And it will sway with the wind, without anyone hitting it. This guy will not go out when the wind is above level three.

Look at Heskey's physique, and then look at Crouch, you really suspect that his mother has abused him.

Otherwise, how can he be so skinny? If ordinary models see his figure, they will feel inferior.

Friedrich and Terry completely pressed this bamboo pole in the penalty area in a sandwiched way. Jump? Heading? If the header is not heading towards the goal, you can grab two, otherwise, it will be directly blocked.

Friedrich and Terry are both strong men over 1.8 meters tall, although they are a little shorter than Crouch.

But in terms of physique, it is estimated that any one of them is much stronger than Crouch.

Not to mention two people working together, even if they only took one out, I guess Crouch couldn't bear it, not to mention they played a double attack, Crouch's small body was probably destroyed by the double.

Moreover, the two wingers completely strangled the opponent's cross route. Even if there was a ball that could be hung over, it would not pose an effective threat at all. Crouch's skinny physique was ravaged by the two strong men in the middle.

Even Liverpool fans after the game lamented, "What's the use of a big guy over two meters tall! That idiot is so thin that he can be blown away by the wind! Can't we even find a decent center forward!?"

This lament is more of anger. Even if Liverpool has not won any decent championships in the past ten years, at least they can still retain their own characteristics. In terms of offensive ability, no one has dared to underestimate the Red Army. Owen and Fowler were the most famous pair at the time.

But since Owen left, the entire Liverpool team has been in a goal drought, especially after Benítez came. This guy pays more attention to the quality of defense rather than the pursuit of sharp offensive feeling.

Sometimes the forward attack is not good, and Gerrard and Luis Garcia have to help. Now that Gerrard is gone, there is only Luis Garcia left who is being stared at by Makelele.

Cowell played diligently on the wing, but his breakthrough speed was not so effective when he met Bosingwa. Although he could get through sometimes, Bosingwa could catch up with him after turning around.

Cowell often had to choose to cross at a 45-degree angle, but the accuracy rate was imaginable.

Not to mention Riise. He was able to contribute two long shots, but he was almost invisible in the rest of the attacks. This guy was pressed by Robben and was simply unable to breathe and could not press forward.

Now Liverpool's forward line is full of people like Cisse and Crouch. The only one who can show off, Baros, left at the beginning of the season, and Morientes has been suffering from injuries.

Dalglish is really depressed. He is also in a difficult situation. Without good players, he is useless even if he is God. He can't let this old man play the game by himself. When he is behind, Dalglish can only reluctantly let Morientes complete the warm-up activities as soon as possible.

The only one who could cause trouble for Cech was Morientes, who came on as a substitute. The Spanish center forward who had just returned from injury finally made Cech make two saves with two corner kicks before the end of the game.

But this was only one of Liverpool's few offensive highlights, but such an attack certainly could not pose too much threat. The rhythm of the entire game was always controlled by Chelsea. Cassano and Anelka's interlaced running in the frontcourt gave Lin Yi enough space to pass the ball. This kid didn't score a goal in this game, but two accurate low passes still allowed Crespo to seize the opportunity.

Argentina does not have the fierce impact ability of Drogba, but his ability to seize opportunities in front of the goal is better than that African elephant. His first shot was declared successful, and a timely insertion to counter offside. When facing Reina who had already abandoned the goal, Crespo calmly pushed the ball into the goal.

Dalglish had no choice but to attack after falling behind by one goal. After all, this was not the league. Losing a goal meant being eliminated. However, Liverpool's attacking lineup, which they had finally adjusted in the midfield, had not yet had time to exert its power before Lin Yi's pass hit them at home. The boy's pass was once again meritorious.

Less than 30 seconds into the second half, Lin Yi rushed forward with the ball in the middle, passing Sissoko and Hyypiä. Before Hyypiä hooked him down, he had completed the pass and leaned on Carragher's Crespo in the penalty area to shoot at the front point, but this time Reina's reaction was indeed fast enough.

Reina's sideways block made the ball bounce out again, but at this moment, Gerrard's back row had already inserted into Liverpool's penalty area, and Lampard was ambushing at the front point, and Liverpool's defenders had not had time to block the eye-catching Reina, who was already lying on the grass, was completely helpless this time.

Another 2-0, but this time the place where Liverpool was humiliated was changed to their doorstep.

Dalglish had accepted his fate after being beaten by Chelsea in the league. But now he was beaten in a cup match. It was unbearable. Moreover, Chelsea had beaten him more than once. In the following FA Cup, Chelsea rotated half of the main lineup, but they were still the winners in the end. The score changed from 2-0 in the previous two games to 1-0.

But this happened less than 30 seconds after the start. Robben received a straight pass from Lin Yi near the penalty area, got rid of all Liverpool players, and staged a quick cut. The goal was decisive!

After leading by 1-0, Liverpool could only fight Chelsea in the midfield, but with a combination of Maniche, Makelele and Essien, you planned to pass it calmly? That was nonsense.

With such a thick interception net, it was basically impossible for Riise and others to rush directly.

It was with such a midfield line that Mourinho kept the score until the midfield. During this period, Chelsea also got three or four counterattack opportunities, but this time Anelka's foot was not smooth.

Reina should thank Anelka for his inaccurate footwork, otherwise this would have been a game with a score of more than 2-0. But even if he only scored one goal, it would have been enough for Chelsea to successfully eliminate Liverpool on both fronts, and Dalglish's team not only lost the league, but also lost the cup.

Losing three games in a row may be the darkest ten days in Liverpool's history. They fell three times on the same team, and each time was different. The guy who did the sin was a little madman.

It is estimated that after this game, no Liverpool fan will say that he doesn't know Lin Yi, because that kid has caused them too much trouble in the three games, and this time it was very fatal.

No matter how Chelsea adjusts the frontcourt lineup in these three games, Lin Yi is the main force that cannot be shaken.

Although he did not play all the three games, Chelsea's threatening attacks almost all came from his feet. Many Liverpool supporters are lamenting that he is really a madman!

But they can't do anything about this madman. They can't kill him by staring at him, and they can only commit fouls.

In three games, Lin Yi gave Liverpool at least six yellow cards, and Sissoko was sent off with a red card in the FA Cup match. After three matches, Sissoko was tortured into neurasthenia.

I guess this guy will be like Gilberto in the future. When he sees Lin Yi, his calves will cramp involuntarily. There is nothing he can do. These two miserable guys are defensive midfielders. They have to face Lin Yi's destruction in every game, and they have to face him several times a season. It's always endless.

Sissoko has been tortured, but Arsenal may encounter them again. At that time, Gilberto will suffer, or Fabregas or other unlucky guys will be tied up.

Killing Liverpool three times in ten days almost destroyed the Red Army's motivation to move forward. In the next round of the league, even playing at home at Anfield, they failed to stop Everton from winning.

Moyes' team relied on a standard defensive counterattack to beat Liverpool at Anfield when they still had tasks in the Champions League. The defeat in this game completely made Dalglish desperate.

This guy did not attend the subsequent press conference. Instead, after returning to the club with the team, he directly submitted his resignation to the American boss. Dalglish did not want to make himself a laughing stock again.

The torture of this season has made him lose the reputation he had accumulated for a long time. If he doesn't leave now, who knows how embarrassing the next game will be. He can't bear this accusation.

Benitez threw him a mess, and now Dalglish is throwing the next coach a dilapidated team. They failed to win the European Cup last season, and this season doesn't look much better. Now the embarrassing ranking of seventh in the league makes them look very dangerous.

Although the two American owners and some fans tried their best to retain Dalglish, the embarrassing result of losing four games in a row made him unable to continue to sit in the coaching seat safely. This resignation is obviously irreversible. It has nothing to do with salary or anything. It's just that Dalglish is a bit exhausted.

It is estimated that even if Mourinho is allowed to adjust such a demoralized team, he dare not guarantee what position he can bring the team to. After all, Chelsea's level is not so easy to achieve, but the team he has built for more than a year can now really be regarded as the king of the Premier League.

However, Mourinho has also become a head coach killer. Anyone who has a grudge against him is either fired by the team or resigns. Anyway, from Benfica to Liverpool, old enemies have been blackened by him.

Maybe when Benítez, who is now unemployed at home, sees this scene, he will be very glad that he left Liverpool, otherwise he will not be strangled by his opponents this season, or he will be scolded to death by his own fans.

According to Chelsea's current level, if he wants to win, he can basically only achieve this goal in his dreams, otherwise, unless he can be favored by Florentino and rebuild a galactic battleship for him.

Otherwise, don't expect to take advantage of Mourinho. You know, even if Real Madrid goes to Chelsea now, they have to figure out whether they can really beat the opponent.

Don't forget, when in Porto, Mourinho would have given up the last group match.

Real Madrid may not be able to beat them, let alone Chelsea's current strength. Although they can't be called a galactic battleship, with this strength, Real Madrid may not have any advantage. They are already a group of old men, but Chelsea is a group of fierce beasts.

Real Madrid is not sure to beat Chelsea now, but this does not prevent them from cheering for this potential threat, because these guys want to teach Barcelona, ​​their mortal enemy in Spain. As long as Chelsea can win, Real Madrid fans will not be stingy with their roar.

Moreover, many supporters of Real Madrid want to go to Camp Nou to see how Rijkaard's old enemy led the team back to his old club again, and still wanted to win.

What Real Madrid fans think is none of Rijkaard's business now. The Dutch coach now has to consider how to determine Chelsea's tactical play and starting lineup. In the past dozen games, Mourinho has set too many mazes for them, and now there is really no other way except guessing.

According to the advice of Rijkaard's think tank, Mourinho, who seeks victory in a steady manner, will definitely defend at the Camp Nou and then counterattack as much as possible, just like last season.

"Although Chelsea's offensive momentum has been very strong recently, they still have three players who can play as defensive midfielders in the FA Cup match against Liverpool. This may be their tactical drill in the Champions League. Mourinho is very cunning. He knows very well how our offensive ability is, so this guy will not rashly attack at the Camp Nou. He is more likely to choose defensive counterattack."

As Rijkaard's old partner, Ten Cate first gave his own analysis. According to this guy's way of thinking, he dared to bet that with Mourinho's character, he would never easily take risks away from home.

Counterattack must be his first choice, and Chelsea's midfield interception ability is getting stronger and stronger. They will not throw away this advantage, not to mention that the first game is still away from home, they will definitely stabilize first.

This may be the opinion of most members of the coaching staff, but after listening to so many analyses, Rijkaard still has a little worry in his heart. After all, this opponent is too cunning and he has to be on guard. Once the opponent changes its tactics, Barcelona will definitely be the most passive.

Compared to the unpredictable opponents, the current Barcelona team's starting lineup is almost unpredictable.

Even compared to last year, Barcelona lacks enough support points on the bench, and the few that are available have long been seen by others, and it is almost impossible to be a surprise weapon.

The threat posed by a team without any secrets is always very limited. . .
