Chapter 889 Liverpool vs Valencia vs Leverkusen

As for Li Wei's fierce remarks after the game, the FA will give him a lighter sentence. There will be no suspension, and only a symbolic fine of several thousand pounds.

Of course, the red card given to Li Wei by Friend during the game is still valid, and Li Wei has to be suspended for one game.

The FA also has to give some indication to the internal referee. Otherwise, anyone can attack the referee at will and pay a small amount of money. Does the referee still have authority?Without an authoritative referee, how can he enforce the game in the future?

Li Wei is actually still a little unwilling, but he knows that this is the best result.

Otherwise, unless he overthrows the FA, the rules of football are like this, and he cannot change it arbitrarily.

Even if it is a living fossil of the Premier League like Ferguson, hasn't he suffered less from being tricked by the referee?
…………

After getting a call from David Bernstein, Levi didn't want to pay attention to the disturbance about the Premier League referee.

There are already enough things about him. As for the confrontation between UEFA and FIFA on the national match day, as well as Liverpool's four-line battle, Levi doesn't have so much energy to argue with the FA over the issue of referees. pull.

Liverpool's focus is on the upcoming midweek Champions League group match, Liverpool vs Leverkusen.

In fact, the outcome of this UEFA Champions League group stage does not have a great impact on Liverpool's qualifying. After five rounds of the group stage, Liverpool has an unbeaten record of three wins and two draws, accumulating eleven points and ranking first without a doubt. .Behind him is Valencia with eight points, No.3 Bayer Leverkusen with six points, and the last place is the doomed Genk Football Club.

However, Liverpool is not the same as Genk Football Club, they are all soy sauce.

On the contrary, Liverpool's game against Valencia was unbeaten.

why?

Because now Liverpool and Valencia have a goal difference of eight. In other words, if Valencia beats Liverpool in the final round of the group stage, they will have the same points as Liverpool.In the case of a tie, it depends on the goal difference. It turns out that the goal difference is the same. If Valencia can beat Liverpool, the goal difference will increase by at least one.In the group stage standings, Liverpool will be overtaken by Valencia due to goal difference and become second in the group stage.

The draw for the round of [-] in the UEFA Champions League group stage is that the same league teams do not meet, and the first place in the group stage does not meet. It turns out that the same group stage teams do not meet.In other words, the second place in the group stage will definitely draw the other first team in the group stage.

Now the qualifying situation of the UEFA Champions League group stage is relatively clear. It is certain that there are already several clubs that appear first in the group stage, including European giants such as Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich.If he had a choice, Levi definitely hoped to draw a team that was relatively fat.

Valencia does not want Liverpool to go all out. It is not that Valencia is full of ambitions and wants to win the first place in the group stage. round was overtaken by Leverkusen.

Unlike Valencia's last round match with the well-deserved overlord Liverpool in the group stage, Leverkusen played against the well-deserved weak chicken Genke football club in the group stage.Valencia can be compared with Liverpool in terms of goal difference, relying on the data from Genk Football Club - they scored 7 goals directly in the last round of 0:[-] Genk Football Club.

Valencia and Leverkusen two teams in the two rounds of the Champions League group stage were Leverkusen 2:1 Valencia and Valencia 3:1 Leverkusen, they both won at home, But the score is not much different. From the point of view of the number of goals, Valencia is theoretically better, but it is not too obvious.

Valencia themselves scored seven goals on Genk Football Club. They asked themselves that Leverkusen's strength was not much different from theirs. Not to mention the big data scored on Genk Football Club, at least defeated The Belgian team is still very sure.

Assuming Leverkusen wins and Valencia is defeated by Liverpool, then Valencia will have to go to the Europa League!
Can the Europa League be compared to the Champions League?
Not to mention attention, the bonus alone is enough to make Valencia, who sells core every year, unwilling to go to the Europa League.They are burdened with huge debts. Otherwise, why would Valencia, which was able to frequently break into the Champions League finals and win the Europa League at the beginning of the new century, and beat Barcelona and Real Madrid to win the La Liga title twice, but now has to sell the main players year after year? ?Sell ​​cores?
In order to let Liverpool release water, it is also to make Liverpool paralyzed.

As early as the end of the match between Liverpool and Leverkusen, the media in Valencia played the emotional card.

Among these newspapers in the Valencia region, Valencia's mouthpiece "Super Sport" is the main force.

They talked about the friendly traditional relationship between Valencia and Liverpool, from the head coach Benitez to the players who have transferred from Valencia to Liverpool over the years, such as Aurelio.

Now, with the game approaching, the newspapers reported more frequently in this regard.

"Super Sports Daily": "Liverpool's schedule is very intensive, and in the case of being sure to qualify, there is no need for Levi to fight against Valencia. Liverpool can completely play the main half, or train with all substitutes..."

The Leverkusen newspapers are different. They appealed: "Although Liverpool has locked up the place to appear, Liverpool is a European giant. He should not appear as the second in the group! Even the first in the group stage is not worthy of Liverpool's place." In addition to being first in the group stage, Liverpool should have a record of four wins and two draws, so as to be able to match Liverpool's status as a European giant!"

Liverpool are now three wins and two draws in the group stage, while the Leverkusen papers want Liverpool to be four wins and two draws.No doubt they want Liverpool to win Valencia.

Although Valencia and Liverpool draw in theory, Leverkusen also has a chance to overtake Valencia.But in fact, this possibility is very small, because Leverkusen failed to produce any big data in Genk Football Club in terms of goal difference. On the contrary, they were negative in goal difference data, negative by four goals.

In other words, they overtook Valencia with the same points. Leverkusen had to score at least [-] goals on Genk Football Club, and Genk Football Club could not score.

Compared to scoring thirteen goals for Genk Football Club, it is more realistic to expect Liverpool to beat Valencia.

…………

In the face of various articles in Spanish and German newspapers, Levi did not make any statement.

Even the "Liverpool Echo" reporter James who has a good relationship with him came to interview and asked: "Will Liverpool play with all the main players in the game against Valencia?"

Li Wei also said perfunctorily: "Liverpool has no main players and substitutes. I will only choose those players who have worked hard and performed well in training."

This answer is tantamount to no answer.

James asked again: "Will Suarez, Bale, and Neymar start?"

At this time, Li Wei had already waved his hand, refusing to answer the question.

…………

Li Wei's refusal to express his position made this Champions League group match confusing.

Fans of Valencia and Leverkusen are watching the game nervously.

Time passed quickly, and soon came the night of December [-]th, when Liverpool played against Valencia at home.

An hour before the game, Liverpool finally announced the starting lineup.

Goalkeeper: Neuer Defenders: Martin Kelly, Papastathopoulos, Stones, Felipe Luiz Midfielders: Nainggolan, Pirlo, Lallana Forwards: Griezmann, Ben After Turk and Thomas Muller saw the starting list, Valencia's coach Unai Emery (later Paris Saint-Germain coach) couldn't hide the excitement on his face.

He said to his assistant: "We are safe this time! Maybe there is still a chance to compete for the first place in the group stage!"

In Liverpool's lineup, only Neuer, Felipe Luis, Pirlo and Papastathopoulos can be considered the absolute main players!Griezmann and Thomas Muller on the front line can only be regarded as regular rotations, and Benteke is more directly a substitute among the substitutes.

Haha, here's our chance!

…………

In Belgium, across the sea from England, in the locker room of the visiting team at the Phoenix Stadium, the home of Genk Football Club.

Robin Dutt asked anxiously: "Has the big list over there come out?"

His assistant had an ugly expression on his face, sighed, and said, "Come out, that lineup can barely be described as half-core!"

Robin Dutt didn't believe it, and took his phone to check, but the result was still so bad.

He slammed his fist hard on the wall. "damn it!"

…………

In the Liverpool locker room, the players had just returned from warming up on the field. They didn't look too nervous, and their expressions were relatively relaxed.

Now Liverpool is in a very good situation. It is certain to qualify for the group stage. If you draw, you can be the first in the group.

Moreover, Liverpool is playing at home, and the mentality of the players is relatively relaxed.

However, seeing the expressions of the players, Li Wei said abruptly: "Do you seem to think that you are going up to play a warm-up match for 10 minutes?"

Players who are familiar with Li Wei know that Li Wei is about to get angry!

They immediately restrained the smiles on their faces, and sat on the bench one by one.

In the Liverpool team, although Levi's coaching time is not very long, that is, less than two seasons, his authority in Liverpool is no less than that of Ferguson to Manchester United and Wenger to Arsenal.

Especially the players in the locker room now, many of them are rotation players and bench players. What qualifications do they have to be tough in front of Levi?
