Chapter 950 Liverpool's Predicament

Liverpool's loss made the confusing championship situation suddenly clear.

Manchester City defeated the relegation team Bolton 2-0 without any suspense.

Although Manchester United was a guest at White Hart Lane, they still defeated the old Redknapp's Tottenham 3:1.

Manchester City ranked No.27 with 62 points after 1 rounds of the league, while Manchester United ranked second with 58 points, four points behind Manchester City, and third Liverpool only had 51 points, a full eleven points behind Manchester City!
Of course, Liverpool is not without advantages. Because of the League Cup, they have one less game. In other words, if Liverpool can beat their opponents in the make-up match, they are only eight points behind Manchester City, not as big as eleven points.

It's just that the media are no longer optimistic about Liverpool's ability to reverse and win the championship. It's not just that Levi has a bad relationship with the media.On the other hand, there are considerable factors in it.

Gerrard's injury came out, the Achilles tendon was injured, and the diagnosis made by the team doctor was-caused by fatigue.Fortunately, the problem was not as bad as Li Wei expected, and Gerrard only needed about ten days of truce before returning to the game.

It's just that Gerrard's injury also sounded the alarm for Liverpool's players-physical fitness!
We all know that Liverpool's style of play is very exhausting, and the weather in England is known for its cold and cloudy weather.Playing football in such weather, on the one hand, consumes more energy, and on the other hand, is more prone to injuries. It is not easy to recover in such weather after the game.

Last season, there was a period of no games for a long period of time, and Levi deliberately took Liverpool players to Mallorca, Spain for training.It is because the weather in Mallorca is famously sunny, which helps players to speed up their physical recovery and relax their mood.

Liverpool played only 26 league rounds, that's because Liverpool played one less round, but Manchester United and Manchester City have already played 27 league rounds!In other words, there are only eleven rounds left in the league!

Eleven rounds reversed by eleven points, is it possible?
Even though Manchester United was [-] points behind Newcastle United that year, they eventually reversed Newcastle United and won the league championship, but this point difference of [-] points appeared before half of the season.Even so, Manchester United was catching up a little bit, and it took more than half a season to reverse Newcastle United and win the league championship.

What Liverpool have to do is to reverse Manchester City by [-] points when there is less than one-third of the league left!
No, Liverpool needs to reverse not only Manchester City, but also Manchester United!Manchester United are seven points ahead of Liverpool!

Even if Manchester City falls behind, Manchester United will take his place.

It is impossible for a team not to make mistakes, but the probability of two teams making mistakes together is undoubtedly much less.

Even Liverpool's mouthpiece "Liverpool Echo" hinted in a recent article that the team should focus more on the Champions League.

Although Naples defeated Liverpool 3:1 in Italy, Liverpool did not return to England without gain.They hold an away goal!
This also means that as long as Liverpool can beat Naples 2-0 at Anfield, with the same total score, they can rely on more goal difference than Naples to advance.

Of course, the "Sun", which hates Liverpool, is not polite.

"After winning the Carabao Cup, Liverpool felt like they had climbed to the top of the mountain, but this is the end of Liverpool. The league is 1 points behind Manchester City, Manchester United is 3 points, and the second leg of the Champions League starts with a [-]-[-] trailing score. Even if it is the FA Cup, it is not easy for Liverpool to win. The teams that have reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup include Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Everton and other strong teams. It's easy to deal with. I have a hunch that the League Cup will be the last championship trophy that Liverpool can win this season. Levi has also fulfilled his championship promise and will definitely win a "heavyweight" championship for the team! "

There is no doubt that the "Sun" report is sarcasm, and they deliberately put a symbol on the word "heavyweight".As we all know, the League Cup has always been tasteless in the eyes of major teams.Fans who pay attention to this game know that the League Cup champions are often not rich. Last season, the League Cup champion Birmingham even won the championship and was relegated to the English Championship.

Because compared with the League Cup, the giants pay more attention to the Premier League and the FA Cup, which has a longer history. The status of the FA Cup in the hearts of fans even surpassed the league champion in the early years.

There is no doubt that if Li Wei cannot win the championship in the rest of this season, then he will not be able to fulfill his championship promise.

…………

The Liverpool fans who had been joyful because of the English League Cup suddenly discovered that the world is not as beautiful as they imagined, but so cruel.

These reports affect not only the fans, but also the players.

In the game against Sunderland, Liverpool's players were obviously affected.

The first half of the game is over and the score is still 0:0.

The game restarted in the second half, and Liverpool was obviously in a hurry. They began to seek more personal breakthroughs instead of seeking cooperation. They either shot from long distances or were intercepted during the breakthrough.

This gave Sunderland a chance to fight back. Campbell's one-handed shot was resolved by goalkeeper Neuer, but Neuer couldn't hold the heavy shot. He just saved the ball and followed up on loan from Arsenal. The Danish striker Bendtner who came over followed up with a supplementary shot. This time Neuer had no choice.

In 6 minutes, Liverpool was leading 1-0 by Sunderland.

At this time, Li Wei knew very well that the game had reached the most difficult time.

He replaced Charlie Adam, who was very impatient in the game, and replaced him with No.17 Italian veteran Motta.

Charlie Adam was very angry. He didn't give Motta a high-five when he left the field, and he didn't go to the bench, but went straight to the locker room.

He didn't understand why Li Wei wanted to replace him?
You know he almost broke the goal 3 minutes ago!

If it weren't for the slight difference in angle, the football would not hit the crossbar and fly towards the stands, but would hit the lower edge of the crossbar and bounce into the goal net, becoming a shocking world wave.

He thinks that given him a little more time, he can get better and better through long shots and break the deadlock on the court.

Three minutes later, Levi replaced Lewandowski and veteran Klose.

Although Lewandowski was not happy, he did not dare to attack. After clapping with Klose on the sidelines, he went to Levi and clapped with Levi, then sat on the bench and covered his head with a towel .

Levi glanced at Lewandowski and didn't speak.

He doesn't even have the mind to deal with Charlie Adam, he has to win!

It's not just that if Liverpool loses this game, don't say that they will not compete for the championship, even the current third position in the league will not be maintained.

Li Wei felt that there was an invisible mountain pressing on his two shoulders, which made people feel like they could not breathe.
