To win the game, you must score goals, but having no striker has always been a problem that troubles Benitez. Manchester United has Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo, Chelsea has Drogba and Lampard, and Gerrard is no better than Christie.

Arnold Ronaldo is inferior to Lampard, but the "Red Army" does not have shooters like Rooney and Drogba.

Torres was acquired by Benitez at a high price this year, but the performance of the former Atletico Madrid golden boy at Anfield can only be described as mediocre. To make matters worse, Torres is now injured and unable to play at all.

Of course, Liverpool also has Qiu Ze. Although this guy is a midfielder, he has good scoring ability, and he can also play as the second forward. When he was at Beiramar, Qiu Ze was efficient in scoring goals as the second forward.

But it's very high.

Therefore, if necessary, Benitez can move Qiu Ze to the forward line, so Liverpool's goals should be guaranteed. And the responsibility of organizing the offense should be left to Spanish midfielder Xavi Alonso.

This is his strength.

However, at this time, bad news came again, that is, Spanish midfielder Xabi Alonso was injured at this time, and it seemed to be more serious, even more serious than Fernando Torres.

Suddenly, the people of Liverpool felt that the sky was falling. At this most critical time, Liverpool's generals were injured one after another. This was too unfair.

It is said that Xabi Alonso was injured when his teammates guessed that he had hit his big toe during training. It is said that the injury is still serious and he will need to recover for at least two months.

This is a huge blow to Liverpool. In the next three Champions League games, Liverpool must win all of them to have a chance to qualify. At this time, Liverpool actually lost their midfielder, which undoubtedly makes things worse.

Perhaps before, Liverpool fans and the media still had some confidence in the Liverpool team, but after learning that Xabi Alonso and Fernando were injured, they suddenly felt very worried about Liverpool. They thought that the Liverpool team was in danger. Really

Very suspenseful.

"We know that Torres and Alonso are very important to us, but we must be prepared for them not to play. We have many excellent players, which is Liverpool's advantage." Benitez said before the game.

Although Benitez said it very easily, everyone could hear the helplessness in his heart. Who is willing to lose the absolute main force and core of the team at such a critical time?

Now the direction of the media has completely turned towards Betaxis. They believe that Betaxis will have a great chance of winning the final victory in this game. They believe that Liverpool has already lifted one foot out of the Champions League stage.

Already.

However, at this time, Betaxis' head coach and players did not think so. They thought this was a smoke bomb released by Liverpool. They did not believe that Xavi Alonso and Fernando Torres were injured. They

Think this is a scam.

The head coach of Betaxis said this in an interview with reporters: "No matter whether Torres and Alonso are injured or not, the first thing we need to do is to be ourselves, adjust our own state to the best, and give everything we have

The strength comes."

The reporters at the scene could hear the disbelief in the tone of Coach Betaxis. At this time, these reporters were also considering the authenticity of what Coach Betaxis said. In fact, they also had doubts. They also believed that

At this time Liverpool threw smoke bombs.

In an interview with media reporters before the game, Benitez said: "We have prepared for this game for a long time. I believe that I can get the result we want. My players are in good condition now and they have already

We are well prepared and heading towards victory.

At the same time, in order to reduce the pressure on the team, Benitez even said: "Of course, even if the group fails to qualify, it is not the end of the world. Our planning is for the next few years, not just for this season. Mr. Chairman has already

The team has prepared a large amount of money to strengthen the team's lineup."

News came out a long time ago that Liverpool's American owner promised to allocate 25 million pounds in transfer funds to continue to strengthen the team's lineup. Of course, media reporters knew that this was what Benitez was referring to. Look.

Benitez hopes to use this to divert everyone's attention and give Liverpool a relaxed environment to prepare for the game.

Liverpool captain Gerrard also admitted that the situation was serious, but at the same time encouraged the team to cheer up: "We cannot have the idea of ​​​​giving up or feeling guilty. Although we lost to Besiktas in the last round, we do not think that we really played to no avail.

, in fact we controlled the game, had the initiative, and had chances to score, but their goals made us suffer."

"Right now we have only one way, and it is very difficult to climb this mountain, but we do not lack confidence and firmly believe that the team can do this. We have encountered similar situations before, many times, maybe too many times, every time

We've all gotten through it, haven't we?" The captain of the Red Army was obviously talking about the 2004-2005 season, when his own goal helped the team defeat Olympiacos at the last moment and narrowly qualify from the group stage.

After the Liverpool fans heard the words of the team captain, they were full of expectations for this game. Isn't what we at Liverpool are best at creating miracles?

Liverpool captain Gerrard added: "Looking back at Istanbul, we created miracles in the Champions League final and the great comeback in the FA Cup final against West Ham in Cardiff. These are all decisive games, but

Why don't we show that momentum and win three games in a row? Anfield is our backing. Three games and two home games are a great encouragement. It means that when we are in danger, the fans will help us. Three

Each group stage is three finals. We believe we can do it, but we have to admit that winning three consecutive games is very difficult. I promise everyone that we will do our best."

The Liverpool captain's words inspired everyone, and Liverpool players came out one after another to express their determination.

Qiu Ze said this when being interviewed by media reporters: "Although I have not experienced the night in Istanbul, I experienced the Miracle in Lisbon when I was at Beira Mar. At that time, we finally defeated the powerful Sporting Lisbon and won the final.

Cup winner. I know what it feels like, I know that feeling, and I think I'm very lucky to have another chance to experience that feeling this season."

"I firmly believe that our strength is stronger than our opponents, and this is our home court. I firmly believe that we can win the final victory, and then win one game after another, and finally qualify from the group!" Qiu Ze said firmly.

Liverpool's captain Reina also stood up and said: "The captain is right, now is not the time to give up. We have the strength. We should be confident in ourselves. We will definitely win this game. We want to eliminate us from the group stage.

,That's impossible!"

Seeing the confidence of the Liverpool players, Benitez relaxed a lot at this time. What he was most afraid of was that the players themselves had no confidence, so this game would not need to be played. Fortunately, the Liverpool players were better than he thought.

Much stronger.

Regarding the current predicament, Benitez is convinced that the team can get out of the predicament and win three points in tomorrow's life-and-death battle. "Our current lineup is better than before. As long as we perform to our due level, we can achieve the final victory."

, giving everyone more confidence to continue fighting. We must believe that we have such ability to win this game."

However, Benitez has to face the current injuries in the team. It has been confirmed that Torres and Alonso will be absent. Due to their unrecovered injuries, the two will definitely miss tomorrow's battle. Fortunately, Benitez is still alive.

There is Crouch, who has been ignored and not reused. Although the latter has not made any achievements so far, he has performed well as a substitute in recent games. I believe Benitez should give this England center more opportunities.

In normal training, Qiu Ze has seen Benitez's arrangements for Crouch. In these days of training, Crouch has appeared in the team's main lineup. He believes that Crouch will

Appear in the starting lineup.

Moreover, Crouch has been very serious in recent training, and his performance is also very good. It can be seen that the bench has not sapped Crouch's fighting spirit. He has been waiting for his opportunity on the bench.

Now that the opportunity has come, this guy is very excited and very competitive. At least in Qiu Ze's view, this guy is now ahead of Vononen and others.

Liverpool is prepared, and Liverpool's opponent Betaxis is also prepared.

Recently, Besiktas' situation has not been very ideal. Besiktas lost 1 to 2 to Fenerbah in the Turkish League last weekend, and the main defender Gerkan was also in this game.

Injured and unable to travel with the team. Besiktas will entrust the team's top scorer Bovo with the task of scoring points, hoping to bring back a point from the away game. Besiktas has always had a poor record in the Champions League, so the coach

Ertugrul just wants one point.

Even if Betaxis only gets one point, they still retain the qualifications to qualify from the group. Therefore, it is normal for them to have such an idea. After all, Liverpool is the strongest opponent in this group and can get four points from Liverpool.

points, they are already very satisfied.

In the last round of the Champions League, Liverpool was defeated 1-0 by Turkey's Besiktas in an away game. Since they only scored one point in the first three rounds, the Red Army now has only one choice on the way to qualify, and that is to fight for the next three games.

Complete victory.

In this round of competition, the Red Army will return to Anfield to face Besiktas at home. If they cannot defeat this opponent, the Red Army will bid farewell to this year's Champions League. No revenge or death, can they seize the last hope? Here

One battle.

Liverpool's players are united in this regard. They firmly believe that they can defeat Betaxis at home and sound the clarion call for counterattack. Now they are ready. They are waiting for this life-and-death battle to come. They are waiting.

Before the match between Betaxis and Liverpool, another match in this group will also be held. If Marseille can defeat their opponent Porto, then Marseille will qualify from the group early. In this regard, Porto obviously will not

Sit back and wait for death.
