Back in England, Liverpool played against Middlesbrough in an away game. In order to face the game against Real Madrid, Rafael Benitez did not take the team's main players to the away game. He thought that even if he did not bring the main players, Liverpool would win.

They can all get three points from Middlesbrough.

However, the reality is cruel. Liverpool, who played all substitutes, actually lost to Middlesbrough 1-2 in an away game. This surprised the Liverpool fans and made Rafael Benitez regret it. It was really too much.

Underestimating Middlesbrough.

Fortunately, they lost this game and were not overtaken by Chelsea. They continued to sit in the second position. However, the bad thing was that the point difference between them and Manchester United was widened. This

It makes Liverpool fans nervous.

It is indeed a pity to lose this game, but now Benitez and Liverpool do not have so much thought to consider these issues. Now they have to compete for the second place in the next UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.

Preparing for round competition.

Liverpool didn't have to travel long distances this time. They just had to sit back and wait for the arrival of Real Madrid in Liverpool. The Real Madrid team came to Liverpool the day before the game and they stayed in Liverpool for one night.

As predicted by the media before the game, Arjen Robben did not come to Liverpool. He has been relegated to the sidelines by Juande Ramos.

For this game, Real Madrid has no other ideas. They must win this game, otherwise, they will be eliminated. This is obviously unacceptable to them. They are here to win today.

Of course, Liverpool will not let Real Madrid succeed. They also want to enter the Champions League quarterfinals. Before the game, Liverpool's top star Qiu Ze was sought after by media reporters.

Because after the last game, media reporters reported that Real Madrid chairman Calderon and Real Madrid chairman candidate Florentino met privately with Qiu Ze at the hotel where they stayed in Liverpool.

It is said that these two big guys have offered very strong conditions to win over Qiu Ze. Everyone is guessing whether Qiu Ze has reached an agreement with them in private, so they all ask.

Regarding this, Qiu Ze did not have any response. He just said that he would not show mercy in this game and the victory must belong to their Liverpool team.

March 10, 2009, Liverpool's Anfield Stadium.

Today, a large number of fans came to the scene to watch the life-and-death battle between Liverpool and Real Madrid. Liverpool fans made the Anfield stadium very devilish, which made the Real Madrid fans who came from afar feel palpitating.

Of course, many Real Madrid fans also came, and they came from as far away as Spain. They didn’t come to witness a defeat today, they came to witness a victory. They can’t wait to see the game start.

Already.

"Hello, audience friends, this is Sky Sports, I am Tim Laursen, who you are familiar with. What we bring to you today is the second leg of the quarter-finals of the 2008-2009 UEFA Champions League.

In this game, the two teams are the Red Army Liverpool from the English Premier League, and the Galacticos Real Madrid from the Spanish Football League! Let us use our warm applause to welcome the players of the two teams to their official appearance!!" Sky Sports'

Commentator Tim Laursen immediately shouted after receiving the prompt from the Sky Sports director!

Following the words of Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen, the players from both sides, led by the referee of this game, walked into Liverpool's devil's home stadium - Anfield Stadium!

Returning to his home stadium this time, Qiu Ze is certainly not as serious and nervous as he was at the Bernabeu Stadium. Moreover, Liverpool is still leading 2-0 with two away goals in hand. Qiu Ze is full of confidence at this time, with a look on his face.

Full of smiles.

At this time, the Real Madrid players also walked into the player tunnel. The Real Madrid players were extremely serious at this time, even more serious than the previous game. They knew what the result of this game meant,

Therefore, they are very serious and they cannot afford to lose this game!

"Okay, the players from both sides have already entered the court, and the game is about to start. Now let me introduce to you the rosters of both teams today!" Sky Sports commentator Tim Laurson took advantage of the opportunity to introduce to the fans.

Let’s start the list of both sides!

"Okay, let me first introduce the starting lineup of the home team Liverpool. Today Liverpool's head coach Benitez has a 4-2-3-1 formation." Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen immediately

Said, "This is different from the formation in the last game between Liverpool and Real Madrid. This time, Benitez is back on track!"

"In the goalkeeper position, Spanish goalkeeper Reina is natural. This is unbeatable." Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen said.

"In the four-back position, there are Arbeloa, Skrtel, Daniel Agger and Joel Luca." Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen said, "There are some in the defense.

Big changes, different from the first round match between the two sides, Daniel Agger finally returned to the starting lineup today. And Joel Luca also returned to his full-back position. It seems that today, Benitez is in

Please change.”

"It seems that the victory in the last game did not make Benitez impetuous. He is still very careful and is prepared to use these changes to catch Real Madrid off guard!" Tim Laursen analyzed.

"In the double defensive midfield position, it is the combination between Gerrard and Xabi Alonso," said Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen. "This is back to Liverpool's regular combination in the league. This

The combination is very strong offensively, are Liverpool going to attack today?"

"The three people on the forward line are Robbie Keane, Chris Chiu and Arshavin." Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen said in surprise, "Wow, this is really surprising.

Well, Robbie Keane actually started the game, and he wasn't even a striker. This is really a huge change."

"There are some big changes in Liverpool's midfield, which is obviously different from the last game. And what shocked everyone the most was that Irish forward Robbie Keane started today, and he played as a right midfielder. This is amazing.

." Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen said in shock.

"Well, the player who appeared on Liverpool's frontline today is Spanish forward Fernando Torres." Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen continued.

"The changes in Liverpool's lineup today are very big. I didn't expect it. I think Juande Ramos will be surprised. Rafael Benitez really dares to do it. This is so shocking.

.Incredible!" Sky Sports commentator Gary Lineker also expressed his opinion.

"Okay, we have introduced the starting lineup of the home team Liverpool, now let's take a look at the starting lineup of the visiting team Real Madrid." Sky Sports commentator Gary Lineker continued after sorting out the information in his hand.

At this time, the fans in front of the TV immediately sat upright and listened carefully. They wanted to see what tricks Juande Ramos would do today.

"Now let me introduce to you the starting lineup of today's visiting team Real Madrid. Today's coach Juande Ramos of Real Madrid turned out to be a 442 formation. This is the same as the last game. It seems that

Juande Ramos is not asking for changes!" Gary Lineker said, "The goalkeeper position is of course Spanish goalkeeper Casillas, there is no doubt about it."

"The four people in the defense are Drenthe, Pepe, Cannavaro and Sergio Ramos. There is only one change in today's defense compared to the last game, and that is the Dutchman

Drenthe replaced Heinze and returned to Real Madrid's starting lineup." Sky Sports commentator Gary Lineker was a little surprised.

"Heinze's performance in the last game was pretty good. I wonder why Heinze didn't start today? Is it because Real Madrid strengthened their offense and let Drenthe, who has a stronger assist ability, start?" explained Sky Sports.

Guest Gary Lineker guessed.

"The foursome in the midfield are Marcelo, Sneijder, Lars Diarra and Van der Vaart." Sky Sports commentator Gary Lineker said, "The configuration of this midfielder is very impressive.

Everyone was shocked that Sneijder and Van der Vaart started at the same time, but Arjen Robben did not start as expected because he never came to Liverpool."

"Today Real Madrid's forward partners are Raul and Higuain." Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen said, "This is the same as the last game. The two players in the last game

Everyone's performance was unsatisfactory, I wonder how the two of them performed in this game?"

"Flute..." the whistle sounded, and the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals between Real Madrid and Liverpool began.

"Sky Sports, Sky Sports, dear viewers and friends, the second leg of the 2008-2009 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, Liverpool's home game against Real Madrid has begun, the scene is from the right side of the TV screen to the left

The home team Liverpool is attacking, and the opposite team is Real Madrid. The home team Liverpool that kicked off first, today Liverpool is wearing their traditional red jersey, and Real Madrid is also wearing their traditional white jersey." Sky Sports commentary

Member Tim Laursen said.

The fans at the scene and in front of the TV were shocked when they saw the starting lineups of the two teams. They really didn't expect that the two teams had changed so much. Compared with the first round, Liverpool has changed so much that Juande?

Moss was shocked.

Real Madrid's formation seems to have not changed much, but its personnel changes are still very big, even if only three people have changed. The starting of Sneijder and Van der Vaart is even more surprising, because before

There have been many rumors that both of them are about to be sold off by Real Madrid.

These two people really had a very bad life in Real Madrid. Now they all regret coming to Real Madrid. Now they all want to be like Arjen Robben and think about escaping from this place immediately. Damn it.

The place.

When the game started, the Liverpool team kicked off the game immediately, and the scene immediately erupted into a burst of fiery cheers. Fans from both sides shouted loudly and were excited.
