185. Torres' bad luck

In the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals, Barcelona drew 0-0 with Liverpool at home. This is very good news for Liverpool. After returning home, Liverpool will take the initiative.

In fact, the score of zero to zero does not give Liverpool much advantage. In the away game, Barcelona even only needed one to zero to solve and eliminate the Liverpool team. Now the reason why Liverpool people have an advantage is that

Psychological and geographical advantages.

Liverpool are very confident in this game. They firmly believe that they can defeat their opponents and advance to the UEFA Champions League final.

On the second day of this game, the first leg of another UEFA Champions League semi-final also officially started. Manchester United defeated Arsenal 1-0 at their home court. Cristiano Ronaldo was in the game.

It was only in the 88th minute that Arsenal's goal was broken and they gained a one-goal advantage at home.

Manchester United's performance in this game was still very good, but Arsenal also performed very tenaciously. They once scored a goal in this game, but it was ruled offside by the referee. However, from the slow pace of the game,

Judging from the replay of the action, the goal was scored without any problems. When midfielder Cesc Fabregas passed the ball, Van Persie was indeed not offside, and Manchester United's Ferdinand was trailing behind.

This should not be an offside kick that is difficult to judge, but the linesman at the time raised the flag without hesitation and was very determined. If everyone just looks at the linesman's expression and decisive actions without watching the slow-motion replay

If so, you would definitely think the ball was offside.

However, the fans at the scene and in front of the TV did see clearly that the ball was not offside. Therefore, this also caused dissatisfaction among the Arsenal fans. The Arsenal fans reacted very fiercely and even stopped the game for a time.

Arsene Wenger was very angry on the sidelines. He was very dissatisfied with this penalty. He thought there was definitely something fishy in it.

After the game, Arsene Wenger once again had a long speech about the refereeing issue, which made the referees disgraced.

In fact, during the halftime break, when the referees went back to rest, they watched the replay of the first half of the game, and they also saw their own mistakes. At that time, the linesman who raised the flag for offside saw this.

When he saw the picture, his face suddenly fell, and he was ashamed of his stupid mistake.

Therefore, after the game, no matter how Wenger reacted or cursed, he never came out to retaliate and remained silent.

Wenger had good reason to be angry. In Wenger's view, if the ball had not been misjudged, the game would have followed a different trajectory. Arsenal would have definitely defeated Manchester United and won the game.

, and it might even be a big victory.

Of course, there are no what-ifs in reality, and Arsenal deserve to accept the reality. They are now losing to Manchester United 0-1 in the first round.

In fact, the gap is not very big. They are only one goal behind. After returning to the home court, Arsenal still has a great chance. But Arsenal is always dissatisfied with the result of this game and feels very

regret.

After all, we have reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League, so the four teams that entered the semi-finals are very cautious. Therefore, the scores in this first round are not very big, and only one goal was scored in the two games. This

It did make fans feel a little disappointed. They originally wanted to watch a hot classic showdown.

The second leg of this season's UEFA Champions League semi-finals will be played a week later, with Arsenal playing Manchester United at home one day and Liverpool playing Barcelona at home the next day.

Before these two games, everyone still has one round of league to play. In this weekend's league, Liverpool will face Newcastle United at their home court. Newcastle United's strength is still good, but the results are very poor.

The bad.

Newcastle United has had two head coaches this season, but their results have never improved. I really don’t know why.

However, when facing such a team, Liverpool still dare not take it lightly. Two days before the game against Newcastle United, the injured Qiu Ze recovered from his injury and began to resume training. However,

At the beginning of this game, Benitez did not include Qiu Ze in the eighteen-man roster.

Benitez is preparing for the second leg of the UEFA Champions League a week later. In that game, Liverpool will face Barcelona in Spain. Barcelona is very strong, but Liverpool is not at all.

Be able to take it lightly.

Moreover, at this time, Liverpool had received news that Barcelona's Messi had returned from injury. In order to allow Qiu Ze to adjust to the best condition, Benitez did not let Qiu Ze play for Newcastle United.

this game.

The day before the match between Liverpool and Newcastle, Barcelona also played a round of La Liga. Barcelona defeated the opponent 5-1 in that game. Messi, who returned from injury, showed good condition. He was in good condition in this game.

Scored twice in the game.

This shows that Messi is in very good condition. Benitez immediately realized that his decision was correct, and he even thought that the midweek game next week would definitely be a very difficult game.

Because it was a home game, Qiu Ze also sat in the stands on the day of the game to watch the game live.

In this game, Liverpool's captain Gerrard returned from injury. He appeared in the starting lineup, and he took the position left by Qiu Ze and served as the attacking midfielder for this game.

In the position are Xavi Alonso and Mascherano.

The forward is of course Fernando Torres, the forwards are Arshavin and Babel, and the four backs are Arbeloa, Carragher, Daniel Agger and Joel Luca. The goalkeeper is even less suspense, the Spaniard Reina

.

After the game started, Liverpool took control of the game. Although Newcastle United also had opportunities to attack, their final kick was really bad, but it didn't have the sharp feeling when Shearer was there.

Liverpool, on the other hand, played more and more smoothly. In the 27th minute of the first half, Arshavin on the wing made continuous breakthroughs and suddenly made a cross, accurately finding Fernando Torres in the center. The Spanish forward did not waste the effort.

With the assist of his teammates, he scored his 27th goal in the Premier League this season.

However, even so, Fernando Torres has not been able to appear at the top of the scorer list. The position of the Premier League scorer list this season is still occupied by Cristiano Ronaldo of Manchester United. At this time, Cristiano Ronaldo?

Ronaldo has scored 31 goals in the Premier League, which is a terrifying number of goals.

However, Cristiano Ronaldo has not scored many goals in the Champions League this season. He has only scored a total of four goals in the Champions League this season, which does seem a bit less. Here

Fernando Torres has surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo, and the Spaniard has now scored ten goals in the Champions League.

However, Fernando Torres only ranks second in the UEFA Champions League scorer list. The first place is Qiu Ze. Qiu Ze has now scored 13 goals in the UEFA Champions League. Qiu Ze

The top scorer of the UEFA Champions League is basically determined.

Fernando Torres was really excited to score the 27th goal in the league. Now he is only four goals away from Cristiano Ronaldo's 31 goals. Fernando Torres once again saw the hope of becoming the top scorer in the league.

.

To be honest, Fernando Torres is really miserable. These 27 league goals were the most powerful contenders for the top scorer in any previous season, and he could get 90% of the top scorer.

ah.

Unfortunately, in the two years since he came to the Premier League, Fernando Torres has encountered two monsters, Qiu Ze and Cristiano Ronaldo. Nima scored 27 league goals in a single season and was still unable to win the league's top scorer.

This is too cheating.

However, the league is not over yet. In addition to this round of games, there are still four rounds of Premier League games to end. It is not that Fernando Torres has no chance to overtake Cristiano Ronaldo. Fernando Torres is determined to do it.

Become the league's top scorer this season.

The game continued. The Fernando Torres brothers were very active. They wanted to score more goals. However, today this guy's luck seemed to have run out. No matter how hard this guy tried, the goal just couldn't score for Newcastle.

United's goal.

However, Gerrard, who returned from injury today, hit Newcastle United's goal with a heavy shot before the end of the first half, changing the score to 2-0.

This first half made Fernando Torres very unwilling. At the beginning of the second half, Fernando Torres worked frantically to score more goals, but this guy couldn't score. Seeing this, Benitez

Fernando Torres was not given too much time, and the Spanish forward was replaced in the 70th minute of the second half.

Benitez replaced Torres at this time. He was actually preparing for the second round of the UEFA Champions League three days later.

When he was substituted, Fernando Torres was still a little reluctant. He really hoped to seize this rare opportunity to score more goals. Unfortunately, this guy couldn't score today. Maybe this is the rule of haste.

Not up to it.

Not long after Fernando Torres was substituted, Liverpool scored again. This time it was Robbie Keane who had just been substituted. In this way, Liverpool easily defeated 3-0 in this game.

Newcastle United continued to put pressure on the leading Manchester United team.

Winning this game made Benitez feel relieved, and he could now focus more on the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals.
