tenth

In a UEFA Champions League group match where there was no victory but no draw, Liverpool defeated the French Ligue 1 powerhouse Marseille with a dead ball and finally entered the top 16 of the Champions League. This game was talked about by many media, thinking that Liverpool had once again created a miracle.

Liverpool has "become a model" of being good at playing against the wind.

Indeed, Liverpool was able to win three games in a row and squeeze into the top 16 of the Champions League with only one point in the first three games of the group stage, completing a difficult task.

From this point of view, Liverpool is good at playing against the wind and has created a miracle. If Liverpool is a little-known team, then its desperate counterattack can be called a classic and a miracle. But as a European giant team

, facing Marseille, Besiktas and Porto, three second-tier European teams, Liverpool was beaten to a pulp in the first three games and "created a miracle."

This is a passage from a report by Portugal's "Lisbon Sport". From their report, it can be seen that they do not fully agree with the praise of Liverpool by their media colleagues. They think that "created a miracle" is used to describe it.

Liverpool, this is a huge joke.

In their view, there is no need for Liverpool to make themselves in such a mess. They are also Premier League teams, Manchester United and Arsenal have qualified for the group one round in advance, showing the style of first-class teams. Liverpool and Manchester United Arsenal

Compared with the team, it is simply inferior by many levels.

Moreover, "Lisbon Sport" also looked down upon Liverpool's head coach Benitez. They said in the article: "Liverpool's coach Benitez should learn from Ferguson and Wenger and learn from others.

How to play when you have good cards. During the three years Benitez coached Liverpool, Liverpool did not become a truly strong team."

"Lisbon Sport" also said that Liverpool's American owner is very right. He should send Benitez away as soon as possible and not let him stay at Anfield. Anfield has more choices, and Liverpool's lineup is not bad.

, is a good hand, and with another new head coach, Liverpool will definitely return to the ranks of the giants.

"Lisbon Sport" seems to have deep resentment against Benitez. They described Benitez as worthless and they support the American owner of Liverpool to replace Benitez as soon as possible.

They said in the article: The performance of first suppressing and then improving in the group stage is actually a true reflection of Liverpool's strength in recent years, that is, the team's performance is very unstable. The "rotation system" of head coach Benitez is the culprit.

The culprit was that he stubbornly rotated players who were in good form and slowly lost the feeling of scoring goals.

Since the establishment of the Premier League in 1992, the Liverpool team that dominated European football in the 1970s and 1980s has not tasted the championship. Qualifying from a weak Champions League group is not a miracle. If Benitez really has

If his ability allows Liverpool to lift the Premier League championship trophy next June, that will be a miracle.

Yes, a coin has two sides, and there are two sides to the same thing. Some people praise Liverpool and praise Benitez; others belittle Liverpool and criticize Benitez.

The words of "Lisbon Sport" may seem extreme, but they are not unreasonable. Some of their statements are quite correct.

Among them, Liverpool staged such a big reversal. In fact, it was completely unpretentious. Facing teams like Porto, Marseille and Betaxis, Liverpool should have easily defeated them and qualified early. However, Liverpool did not. Instead, they advanced

Only one point was scored in three rounds, which shocked everyone's eyes.

This situation is entirely caused by the Liverpool people themselves. The three consecutive wins in the last three rounds may seem like a miracle, but in fact it should be reasonable. If such an opponent cannot be defeated, then why is Liverpool talking about revival? What kind of giants are there?

Benitez is also right. Liverpool is too unstable. Without the stability of giants like Manchester United and Arsenal, this is Liverpool's flaw.

The game is over, and the media and fans are endlessly discussing Liverpool. They are all discussing around Liverpool.

Of course, there is another aspect that is Qiu Ze. They are also discussing around Qiu Ze. Qiu Ze's performance really exceeded their expectations. This guy's entry shocked everyone, including the Liverpool fans.

Extremely excited.

However, Liverpool fans are also worried because there are really too many rumors about Qiu Ze's transfer. Although they don't believe that Qiu Ze will leave, they are also very worried about the rumors.

Nervous, they all hoped that Qiu Ze could stay and not leave.

At this time, Qiu Ze didn't consider this issue at all. Now Qiu Ze is thinking about the draw ceremony for the top 16 of this season's Champions League. They are wondering who Liverpool's opponent will be.

At this time, this season's UEFA Champions League group stage matches have ended, and the teams that should enter the top 16 have also been born.

The two teams that qualify in Group A are Porto and Liverpool. Porto has three wins, two draws and one loss and has 11 points, ranking first in the group. Liverpool has three wins, one draw and two losses and 10 points, ranking second in the group.

The two qualifying teams in Group B are Chelsea and Schalke 04. Chelsea has three wins, three draws and 12 points, ranking first in the group. Schalke 04 has two wins, two draws and two losses and eight points, ranking second in the group.

The two qualifying teams in Group C are Real Madrid and Olympiacos. Real Madrid has three wins, two draws and one loss and has 11 points, ranking first in the group. Olympiacos has three wins, two draws and one loss and has 11 points, second in the group. Goal difference

Just a few reasons.

The two teams that qualify in Group D are AC Milan and Celtic. AC Milan has four wins, one draw and one loss and has accumulated 13 points, ranking first in the group. Celtic has three wins and three losses and has nine points, ranking second in the group.

The two teams in Group E are Barcelona and Lyon. Barcelona has four wins, two draws and remains unbeaten with 14 points, ranking first in the group. Lyon has three wins, one draw and two losses and has ten points, ranking second in the group.

The two teams that qualified in Group F are Manchester United and Roma. Manchester United has five wins and one draw and remains unbeaten with 16 points, ranking first in the group. Roma has three wins, two draws and one loss and ranks second in the group with 11 points.

The two teams appearing in Group G are Inter Milan and Fenerbahce. Inter Milan has five wins and one loss with 15 points, ranking first in the group. Fenerbahce has three wins, two draws and one loss with 11 points, second in the group.

The two qualifying teams in Group H are Sevilla and Arsenal. Sevilla has five wins, one loss and 15 points, ranking first in the group. Arsenal has four wins, one draw and one loss and 13 points, ranking second in the group.

The top 16 of the Champions League was born. All four teams from the Premier League advanced to the top 16, three teams from Italy advanced to the top 16, 30 teams from Spain advanced to the top 16, one team from the Bundesliga advanced to the top 16, and Portugal

The Super League team advances to the top 16, the Turkish Super League team advances to the top 16, the Greek team advances to the top 16, the Scottish team advances to the top 16, and the French team advances to the top 16.

Among them, the Premier League team is the big winner. They actually advanced to the top 16 with all four teams. Last time they did not have so many. The last time the Portuguese league was the big winner, Benfica and Porto even advanced to the top 16.

.

This season neither Sporting Lisbon nor Benfica have advanced to the top 16. It is a pity that Benfica, which has advanced to the Champions League quarter-finals for two consecutive seasons, has not advanced to the top 16. At this time, Benfica fans began to miss Qiu Ze.

Benfica only scored seven points in the group stage this season and missed the Champions League round of 16. It is understandable that they were two points behind Celtic and failed to advance to the round of 16.

All the teams in the top 16 were entangled, and now it was time to hold the draw ceremony for the top 16 of the Champions League. After the game, the Liverpool players returned to Liverpool because they had a game on the weekend against Manchester United.

It's a tough game and they have to go back in advance to prepare.

Liverpool's head coach Benitez went to Nyon, Switzerland to attend the draw ceremony for the Champions League top 16.

The draw ceremony for the 2007-2008 Champions League knockout round of the top 16 was held last night at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland. The head coaches of each team had to attend the draw ceremony for the top 16 of the UEFA Champions League. Qiu Ze and others

The players were watching the draw ceremony in front of the TV.

The rules of this drawing ceremony are that the first and second place players in this group will avoid, and the teams under the Football Association will avoid it, and then the first place players in other groups will draw the second place players in the group.

This season, Liverpool is ranked second in the group. They will definitely face one of the first teams in the group. However, they have avoided Manchester United and Chelsea from the same Football Association. Liverpool's remaining opponents are actually not many.

.

Look, their opponents are Real Madrid, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Barcelona, ​​and Sevilla. Choose one of the five. Of course, if Liverpool were to choose, they would definitely choose Sevilla, because compared to

Of the other four opponents, Sevilla is obviously weaker.

However, this is obviously not Liverpool's choice. There is a one-fifth chance that the draw will be good, and a four-fifth chance that it will be a bad draw. Liverpool's knockout round of the top 16 is not very easy.

Liverpool fans are very nervous at this time. They all hope that Liverpool can draw Sevilla, which is the best draw. But they all know that the chance is not too big. They are very nervous at this time, so nervous.

No more.

Of course, Liverpool's head coach Benitez is also very nervous. At this time, he is very regretful and regrets why he made so many mistakes in the group stage. If Liverpool can get first place in the group, what will happen?

It will be much better.

What a pity! There is no if at this time, let alone never. Benitez has to swallow the bitter pill of his own creation. He is now waiting for the judgment of the goddess of fate. Similarly, the players of Liverpool are also waiting for the judgment of the goddess of fate.

Sentence.

The whole draw ceremony was very tense, and the head coaches of each team had no smiles on their faces. It was really too nervous. Even the head coaches who won the first place in the group did not dare to say that they were relaxed at this time.

Because several teams in the second group are very good, they are also nervous.

Look, who are the outstanding players in the second place in the group? Needless to say, the two teams from the Premier League, Liverpool and Arsenal, the first team in the group does not want to draw these two opponents.

The opponent is too difficult.
