Atletico Madrid will face the challenge of PSV Eindhoven.

The current round of games is very important for the Red Army Liverpool. Liverpool is currently ranked first in Group D. They currently have eight points, but this is not enough to ensure that they qualify from this group. Because the second place is

Atletico Madrid, they have six points, in third place is Marseille, they have four points, and in fourth place is PSV.

There are now two rounds left in the group stage. As far as the current situation is concerned, the four teams in Group D have not been eliminated and all have hopes of advancing. Now is the critical moment to compete for the right to qualify. PSV Eindhoven and

Of course the Marseille team also wants to fight, they are not here to watch the fun.

For Marseille and Eindhoven, if they want to qualify, they must win the next two rounds, otherwise there will be no chance. For Liverpool and Atletico Madrid, if they want to qualify, in the end

They only need to win one of the two rounds.

Therefore, the current form is very beneficial to Liverpool and Atletico Madrid, because after this, there is no direct confrontation between the two teams, and the chances of the two teams qualifying are very high.

Of course, Liverpool hopes to lock in the qualifying spot in advance at this time, because the competition in the Premier League is very fierce now, and they hope to put more energy into the league. Therefore, this round of Liverpool's home game against Marseille, Liverpool very much hopes to directly

Take Marseille.

Now, Liverpool is in very good shape. In the previous two rounds of the league, Liverpool has defeated its opponents with great success, winning 6-0 in two consecutive games. Liverpool is in good shape.

However, things are not going smoothly for Liverpool now. Liverpool has many internal problems. At the beginning of the season, Liverpool spent more than 20 million pounds to introduce Robbie Keane from Tottenham Hotspur.

After the guy came to Liverpool, he had few opportunities to play at first.

Later, even if this guy had a chance to play, he almost always came on as a substitute. In the beginning, this guy performed very poorly and did not perform in line with his worth. However, recently, this guy's performance has been poor.

Yes, he also made great achievements as a substitute.

This should have been a good thing for Liverpool, but it is no longer the case. After a better performance, Robbie Keane, who replaced Mr. 20 million, is no longer just content with being a substitute.

, now he wants to get a starting position.

Before the last round of the league, Robbie Keane approached Benitez alone and expressed his desire to get the main team. In the last round of the game, Benitez did not start Robbie Keane. In this game,

, this guy lost his temper and started making a fuss.

This is indeed a big problem for Liverpool, which directly affects the unity within Liverpool. To be honest, Robbie Keane's goals are pretty good recently, but this state may not be particularly good.

Because Liverpool's opponents have not been very strong recently, and when Robbie Keane came on the field, his opponents had basically been defeated by Liverpool. It is not easy for him to score goals at this time? To put it bluntly, Benitez is worried about Robbie Keane.

Keane can't fight a tough battle now.

Benitez is going to inspect Robbie Keane again before making a decision. Robbie Keane's commotion instantly put Benitez in an embarrassing situation. This commotion is definitely a sign of Liverpool's current good state.

Will be affected, which makes Benitez very unhappy.

Benitez now wants to kill Robbie Keane directly. This guy is really capable of causing trouble.

After Robbie Keane made a fuss, the situation in the Liverpool team suddenly became a little bad. Because now it is not just Robbie Keane who is thinking about the main position. Liverpool players

They listened to Robbie Keane making a fuss, and they also had the intention to make a fuss.

Another person who has been affected is Babel. The Dutchman now plays much less time, and the lack of position on the striker is an important reason. Babel himself wants to play forward rather than on the wing, but after Keane came, his position was naturally

To the back row. In fact, in terms of performance, ability and potential last season, the 21-year-old Babel has more promise than the 29-year-old Keane. But the current situation is that Robbie, who has just arrived in the new season?

Keane has been playing more often, but Babel has completely popped out of the audience's attention. Almost half a season has passed, and Babel has only played twice, and the total time is less than half an hour.

The Dutchman Babel recently expressed his dissatisfaction with not being able to play in the game: "I have always said that I want to play as a forward. If I can't play in the game, I will not be able to improve. I played as a forward in the Netherlands. I have always played as a forward when I was growing up.

This is the position I want. People say I am still young, only 21 years old, and my time will come, but I am not a player who wants to wait. I want to perform now, not wait until three or four years.

back……"

Babel is very dissatisfied with his current situation. Not to mention his limited playing time, but also his position as a substitute. He himself prefers to play as a forward, and in Beni

In Tes's mind, Babel was a wide player, which made Babel very incomprehensible and made him feel very uncomfortable.

Before the game between Liverpool and Marseille, Dutch forward Babel said this in an interview with media reporters before the game: "The position that suits me best is forward. I now need games to train and improve myself. And these

Liverpool can't give me what I want now. If you can't give me what I want, you can let me go, rent or transfer! I have to play now, and I don't want to be ruined on the bench."

Comrade Babel expressed his eagerness to leave Liverpool. As soon as this thing came out, the atmosphere in the Liverpool team became extremely tense. It can be heard from Babel's words that this guy has great feelings for Liverpool and Benitez.

Deep resentment.

Babel couldn't stay here any longer, and he desperately wanted to escape from here.

As soon as this issue came up, the outside media immediately publicized this point in a high-profile manner, especially the French media. They hoped to use this to defeat Liverpool and increase Marseille's chances of winning.

When they got the news at the first moment, the French Ligue 1 team Marseille immediately made an offer to Liverpool. They hoped to introduce Liverpool's Dutch striker Babel. The head coach of Marseille even made a big statement at the pre-match press conference.

He praised Babel and expressed his appreciation for Babel. He also expressed his infinite love for Babel and hoped to take Babel to Marseille immediately.

This approach of Marseille made Liverpool very dissatisfied, and Benitez was even more angry. He criticized Marseille's approach before the game. However, at this time, it was not only Marseille but one club that was interested in Babel.

Many clubs from the Bundesliga, Eredivisie, and Premier League are interested in Babel.

Among them, Babel's former club Eindhoven was very interested in Babel. Even at such a critical moment when they were about to face Atletico Madrid, they issued a statement hoping that Babel would consider them. They have always had Babel's talent there.

Location.

Seeing Babel becoming the favorite of various teams, Liverpool fans were very nervous at this time. They began to put pressure on the club, hoping to keep Babel, and also hoped that Liverpool Club could give Babel more game time.

.

Liverpool fans are optimistic about Babel's potential. They believe that Babel will become a very important player for Liverpool in the future. Now Liverpool must keep Babel.

In this way, Benitez fell into a passive position. Of course, Benitez only has the potential of Babel, but in his opinion, Babel belongs to the future, not the present. Now that Liverpool's lineup is relatively complete, it is so rash to

Putting Babel into the main lineup, wouldn't this disrupt Liverpool's current deployment?

Although Benitez also wanted to keep Babel, he did not compromise at this time. Babel still did not appear in the main lineup against Marseille, and still appeared on the bench, sitting with him.

Also on the bench is Robbie Keane.

This game is extremely important for both teams. If Liverpool wants to qualify early, they must defeat Marseille in this game. And if Marseille wants to qualify from this group, they must defeat Liverpool in this game.

Only then can we have hope.
