During January 2015, the 2015 Asian Cup on the other side of the world was held in Australia as scheduled.

The Chinese team achieved a good result of three consecutive victories in the group stage, but was immediately knocked out by the host Australia in the quarterfinals.

Such a result can be regarded as the normal performance of the Chinese team.

In the 2015 Asian Cup final, Australia played against South Korea. In the end, Australia defeated South Korea 2:1 in overtime and successfully won the championship.

The South Korean team reached the finals of the Asian Cup for two consecutive times, but lost to Japan and Australia successively, and they were all killed in overtime, which can be regarded as a very characteristic death.

South Korean players are required to serve in the military, and winning the Asian Cup can help them exempt from military service. However, they were killed in overtime in two consecutive finals and missed an excellent opportunity to be exempted from military service. No wonder they cried so badly.

The worst thing should be the final in 2011. The South Korean team was defeated by Lee Zhongcheng. Just by looking at the name, he was a Korean guy.

Li Zhongzhong is actually a Korean who grew up in Japan, but he is indeed a Korean. He first stated that he wanted to play for South Korea, but he was squeezed out everywhere in South Korea. In a fit of anger, he chose to become a Japanese citizen to serve for South Korea. Japan played football, and then beat South Korea in the Asian Cup final.

This plot is just as legendary as the movie.

In this Asian Cup final, South Korean player Sun Xingmin scored a very beautiful goal with his personal ability in stoppage time of regular time. This performance has been generally recognized by the European media.

Even the English media were helping to brag that it was a world-class goal.

Sun Xingmin is currently performing very well in the Bundesliga with Leverkusen. Rumors about him have begun to appear in many Premier League teams. The English media will naturally seize the opportunity to create topics.

In the middle of the week after winning West Ham United, it was the day of the FA Cup fourth round replay, and Liverpool could take the opportunity to take a break.

In the replay of the FA Cup, Manchester United successfully passed and advanced to the next round.

In the ensuing FA Cup round of sixteen draws, Liverpool drew Crystal Palace, which was considered destined, but they had to play away.

After a week's rest, Liverpool's next schedule will be more difficult.

In the next three rounds of the Premier League, Liverpool will face Everton, Tottenham and Southampton respectively.

Needless to say, Tottenham are one of the top six in the Premier League.

Everton is a rival in the same city. No matter how they play in other games every season, they will be energetic when they play against Liverpool. This is Everton's natural passive attribute. Sometimes it is really difficult to deal with, especially in that kind of game. Meet at the critical moment of the championship or the fourth.

Southampton is the super dark polo team of this season. They have defeated Arsenal and Manchester United successively before, and even drew with Chelsea.

In general, the next three league rounds will not be easy for Liverpool.

More importantly, sandwiched between these three games, Liverpool will have another FA Cup round of 16 and a UEFA Champions League round of 16 first leg.

To put it bluntly, the next schedule is definitely Liverpool's devil schedule.

On February 7th, the 24th round of the Premier League, Liverpool challenged Everton away, the second round of the Merseyside derby this season.

The Merseyside derby is definitely the most intense match in the Premier League. Since the establishment of the Premier League, the Merseyside derby has produced 20 red cards, which is the most intuitive manifestation.

In such a fierce confrontation, Rogers still arranged for the newly injured brittle bone Sturridge to start.

Rogers may be trying to complete a double play against Everton. After all, Liverpool had already won at home in the first round.

But Sturridge really couldn't stand this level of confrontation. Before the first half of the game was over, he was shoveled off the field.

Then in the second half, the Brazilian Lucas was also injured.

Liverpool had two injuries in a row, and Everton, as they did in the past, played like chicken blood, as if they only played one or two city derbies a season.

In the end, Liverpool played a 0-0 draw with Everton at Goodison Park, a result that was barely acceptable to both sides.

Everton did not lose and avoided being double-killed by their rivals in the same city.

Liverpool failed to complete the double play, but they also scored a point, which is necessary for them to compete for the top four.

In other Premier League games this round, Manchester United drew 1:1 away at West Ham United, Manchester City drew 1:1 at home with Hull City, and Arsenal lost 1:2 away to Tottenham in the North London derby.

However, Chelsea successfully won Villa 2:1 away, and Southampton also beat Queens Park Rangers 1:0 away.

In this case, Chelsea's lead in the Premier League standings has reached 10 points, almost ending the suspense of the Premier League championship.

The current Chelsea is indeed in a very good state and is making great strides, fully playing the demeanor of Mu's second-year team.

The teams coached by Mourinho often reach a peak in the second year, every time.

When he was in Porto in the Portuguese Super League, he won the Portuguese Super League and Europa League championships in the first year. In the second year, in addition to the domestic championship, he even won the Champions League championship all the way. It was really shocking at that time the whole of Europe.

It was the first time to coach Chelsea. Mourinho led the Blues to win the Premier League title for two consecutive years. This time, Mourinho's second year was relatively dull, that is, he completed a Premier League title defense.

Then went to Inter Milan, won the Serie A championship normally in the first year, and directly led the team to the Triple Crown in the second year, reaching the top of Europe again.

Then he went to Real Madrid. In the first year, he helped Real Madrid lose the embarrassing hat of the top 16 of the Champions League, and at the same time won a Copa del Rey. Then in the second year, he beat Barcelona to win the La Liga championship, and set a record of 100 points to win the championship.

Now in Chelsea for the second time, Mourinho is still the same as before, reaching his peak in the second year again.

Today's Chelsea should have no problem winning the Premier League this season.

So this second-year Mu team is indeed quite miraculous, and also somewhat unreal.

But generally speaking, Mourinho rarely coaches a team for more than three years, which is also a curse.

It is also quite miraculous that the inner ghost will come out in the third year.

Chelsea lead the Premier League table with 58 points, followed by Manchester City on 48, Southampton on 45, Manchester United on 44, Liverpool and Tottenham on 43 and Arsenal on 42.

With such a point situation, apart from Chelsea, other teams are almost in chaos.

Next, Liverpool needs to face Tottenham and Southampton one after another. These are all contests with direct competitors, and it is also a key game worth six points.
