football dynasty

After Liverpool won Manchester City, they finally ushered in a period of rest, but Levi knew very well that this period of rest was just the calm before the storm.

Liverpool play Norwich in six days, but it's away to Atletico Madrid in three days.In other words, after the match against Norwich, the Liverpool players had a day off, ended training early the next day, and had to fly to Spain in the afternoon. After resting in the hotel for the night, after preparing for the game during the day, they had to participate in the Champions League semi-final at night. .

Given that the players were very tired during this period, the medical report Levi received after the game against Manchester City is also very worrying.

Kyle Walker must have suffered a knee sprain, but after examination, the situation was more serious than expected. Kyle Walker torn knee cartilage, which is the medical name, and the more common name is meniscus damage.

After the meniscus is torn, I have to go through surgery and then rest.When Eto'o was at Barcelona, ​​​​he was recuperating for 5 months due to a torn meniscus.

The medical report given by John Wolfgang is that after Kyle Walker underwent surgery, he had to recuperate for four months before returning.

Gary Cahill did have a concussion after examination.

Concussions can be big or small, and John Wolfgang's suggestion is to keep Gary Cahill out for a week.

Liverpool can still reserve the position of central defender, and Levi is not very worried that Gary Cahill's absence will have a great impact on Liverpool's central defender.

And judging from the data, it is not Gary Cahill, but Benatia, who is currently the pinnacle of Liverpool's defense.The Monaco central defender averaged 2.1 steals, 2.8 interceptions, and 6.3 clearances per game. Among them, the number of interceptions and clearances is the first in the team, and he is also among the top ten players in the Premier League.

In addition, many players have experienced muscle fatigue. Muscle fatigue does not affect players playing games, but it also means that players are likely to be injured during games or training.

For this reason, after the match against Manchester City, Li Wei specially announced that the players will not only have two days off, but also organize a half-self-funded tourism activity. Players who are willing to participate will be able to travel to Barbados with the club's private jet for free. After arriving there Will be free at leisure and fly back to Liverpool the next afternoon.

When it comes to black-dominated countries, many people's first impression is that they are poor and backward, but Barbados is an outlier.It is the only developed country in the Americas other than the United States and Canada, and it is the first developed country in the world where blacks are the main body.

Barbados is also a favorite place for English football stars to travel, because it is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. There are many British immigrants. While retaining a lot of British customs, it also has a tropical island style that the UK does not have.

Wayne Rooney may be the star who likes Barbados the most. After the 2010 World Cup, Rooney went on holiday to Barbados with his wife and son. In 2011, Rooney traveled to Barbados again, this time with Joe Hart.In addition to Rooney, Carrick, Smalling, Carroll and Phil Neville have also been to Barbados for vacation.

Most of the Liverpool players chose to participate in this tour and chose to relax in Barbados.

…………

The happy time is always short, and Liverpool soon returned to England from Barbados to prepare for the game.

What greeted Liverpool was the game against Norwich. Norwich was once the lucky star of Suarez. Every time Suarez met Norwich, he always scored goals, including two hat-tricks last season.

It's just that Norwich is still Norwich, but Suarez is no longer at Liverpool.

In view of the away game against Atletico Madrid three days later, Li Wei basically started all substitutes in this game, except for the goalkeeper Courtois.

In the end, Liverpool won very thrillingly, and finally beat Norwich 3:2.

Among them, Sterling scored again, Griezmann passed and shot, and Klose made a header.

After winning the game, the team flew to Madrid, the Spanish capital, on the third day.

Before coming to Madrid, Levi asked the club staff to greet Real Madrid early. During Liverpool's stay in Madrid, they will be able to use Real Madrid's training ground.

The relationship between Liverpool and Real Madrid is still good. There are many Liverpool players in this Real Madrid team, such as Alonso, Bell, and Arbeloa. They are all players who have played for Liverpool for a long time.

Coupled with the recent rise of rivals Atletico Madrid in the same city, Real Madrid doesn't mind adding obstacles to their opponents.Anyway, he knows that if there are other teams in the Champions League to play against Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid will borrow the training ground for these teams.

…………

This is not the first time Levi has met Atletico Madrid coached by Simeone. Liverpool played against Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup as early as 2012.

In the end, although Liverpool won Atletico Madrid, this does not prove that Liverpool will definitely win Atletico Madrid this time.

What's more, Atletico Madrid has become more mature under Simeone's coaching, and they currently have a large number of capable players in the team.

This can be seen from the starting lineup. The goalkeeper is the Slovenian player Oblak. Although Oblak is still a little immature, Li Wei knows that this is another world-class goalkeeper.

The back four are: Juanfran, Miranda, Godin, Felipe Luis.

Felipe Luiz was originally transferred from Liverpool to Chelsea, but the Brazilian full-back was not reused at Chelsea, coupled with Chelsea's frequent coaching changes, prompted him to return to Spain.

In the end, Atletico Madrid only spent 500 million euros to win this world-class full-back.

Back midfielder: Gabi partner Mario Suarez.

Midfield: Raul Garcia, Diego, Koke.

The striker is Diego Costa, known as the "beauty of the prosperous age".

On the bench, Atletico Madrid also sat the former Spanish number one striker Villa and the Turkish core Arda Turan who joined Barcelona with 4000 million euros in the future.

Li Wei still remembers that in history, Atletico Madrid broke into the Champions League final with this lineup.

But Li Wei is not afraid of this Champions League runner-up team in history, because he has better cards than Simeone!
Goalkeeper: Keylor Navas.

Defenders: Stefan Lichtsteiner, Benatia, Papastathopoulos, Ricardo Rodriguez.

Midfielders: Gerrard, Hazard, Modric.

Forwards: James Rodriguez, Lewandowski, Neymar.

This is a lineup capable of overturning all European giants!

At the Calderon Stadium, the home of Atlético de Madrid, the battle is imminent!
