football dynasty

Liverpool's schedule is relatively easy from the perspective of opponents, but it is more tense from the perspective of time.Just three days after the match against Queens Park Rangers, a new round of challenges - "relegation madman" Wigan Athletic!

Although Li Wei knew that Wigan Athletic was more difficult to deal with at this point in time, the physical fitness and injury conditions of Liverpool players forced Li Wei to choose a large rotation.

…………

Ninety-ten minutes later, Li Wei stood on the sidelines a little more unspeakably bleak.

An unexpected, reasonable result appeared --- Liverpool was upset by Wigan Athletic!
The score was 2:2, and this 2:2 score did not come easily.

As soon as the game started, Wigan Athletic made up their minds.For a relegation team like Wigan Athletic, scoring a point on Liverpool is earning.

The game was a tough battle for Liverpool from the very beginning. Although Liverpool controlled nearly [-]% of the possession rate, they were unable to convert their advantage into goals.

如果说利物浦和女王公园巡游者踢的是4-5-1阵型，前面还留在一名前锋，维冈竞技这里直接是10-0-0，前锋都缩回到了自家禁区里面不出来反击。

Of course, Wigan Athletic won't really not come out to fight back, it's just that their forwards focus more on defense.

Until the No.207 minute, Wigan Athletic got a chance, a more dangerous free kick.

Liverpool did not dare to be careless. The weak team wanted to break through the gate of the strong team, and set-pieces have always been the main weapon.Therefore, for many teams in the middle and lower reaches, you make it extremely difficult for them to score goals in sports games, but scoring goals from set kicks is cutting melons and cutting vegetables.Gary Cahill, who was a central defender back then, was able to score seven goals in a single season at Bolton. Was it really Gary Cahill who dribbled the ball to attack the goal?Of course not, all attacks from set pieces.

However, there is still a problem with day defense and night defense.

Varane kicked down Wigan Athletic striker Victor Moses when he was destroying the football.

Although the Liverpool players surrounded the referee to appeal, it was useless, and the referee insisted on the original verdict.

Wigan Athletic striker Maloney slammed in just before the penalty spot.

Neuer was so angry that he fished the football out of the net and kicked him into the sky.

But there is no way to change the fact that Liverpool 0:1 Wigan Athletic.

You must know that although Liverpool is only two points away from Manchester City, if Liverpool loses to Wigan Athletic in this game, Liverpool is likely to be taken by Manchester City and Manchester United.

It is now the No. 30 round of the Premier League!

In other words, Liverpool could not maintain the distance against Manchester City in this round, and Manchester City and Manchester United won their opponents again. Liverpool will be four points behind Manchester City and three points behind Manchester United with eight rounds left in the game.It's pretty deadly!

As for placing hope on the opponent's mistakes, Li Wei thinks it is difficult, not only because the long league has proved that they are not just a lucky team, they are a team with the strength to win the league championship.Even if they made a mistake, Manchester City made a mistake, but it was cheap for Manchester United. If Liverpool wanted to take advantage, both teams had to make mistakes. Is it easy?
It's not easy at all!
Therefore, after the game restarted, Liverpool stepped up their offense from top to bottom. Even Varane, a central defender, was eager to make contributions and dribbled the ball to the front of Wigan Athletic's penalty area to assist his teammates many times.

But this did not allow Liverpool to equalize. In the No. 407 minute, Wigan Athletic seized the space behind Liverpool and found the fast horse Victor Moses with a long pass. Neuer bravely saved the shot, but Wigan Athletic player McCarthy caught up with him, and he lobbed a heavy kick in the penalty area, bypassing Neuer's second defense, and flew into the goal. Inside the gates of Liverpool.

Wigan Athletic 2:0 Liverpool!
At this time, the game situation can be said to have pushed Liverpool to the edge of the cliff.

Li Wei replaced Gerrard and Vidal to strengthen the attack.

No.603 minutes, Liverpool finally pulled back a goal.

After Gerrard took the ball from the right side of the penalty area, he decisively knocked across the middle. Suarez, who was outflanking in place, shot with his right foot in the middle, and the football flew into the goal from the lower left corner.

Liverpool 1:2 Wigan Athletic!

This ball boosted Liverpool's morale, and Liverpool continued to strengthen their offense. Even though Wigan Athletic counterattacked and threatened Liverpool's gate several times, Liverpool did not retreat to strengthen its defense.

A score of 3:1 or even 4:1 is just a result for Liverpool. They will be left behind on the way to the championship, so they must strengthen their offense.

In stoppage time, No. 90 two minutes, Liverpool equalized the score.

Suarez shot into the penalty area with three people in a row, but was blocked by the goalkeeper of Wigan Athletic. Fortunately, Vidal made it. Although he stretched out his non-dominant left foot, Vidal did not waste this opportunity. Left foot poked and scored.

But Liverpool's efforts came to an end. After Vidal scored the goal, there was only 1 minute left for Liverpool.

In such a short period of time, facing the resolutely defending Wigan Athletic, Liverpool has a dragon-slaying heart in the sky, but there is no dragon-slaying knife, and they can only watch Wigan Athletic at their home court with a separation here at Anfield. open.

…………

After the match against Wigan Athletic, Liverpool overtook Manchester United relying on goal difference and ranked second in the league standings, only one point behind No.1 Manchester City.

Judging from the standings, it seems that Liverpool's situation is better, but it is not the case.

If you move your eyes from the position of points to the position of games, you can see the problem.

Liverpool have played 29 games, while Manchester City and Manchester United have played [-] games.

Due to the schedule, the No. 30 Premier League match between Manchester City and Manchester United is one day later than Liverpool, and is scheduled on the 25th.

As for whether it is possible for the two teams to make mistakes like Liverpool?

Yes, there must be!

The problem may not seem big to Levi. Manchester United's opponent is Blackburn, and Manchester City's opponent is Sunderland. Although these two teams are relegation teams, Sunderland's situation is better this season. , ranked No.12 in the league.Although it is not 100% guaranteed that they have landed, their relegation situation is very good.

Blackburn is deep in the relegation zone, but Blackburn is obviously not as famous as Wigan Athletic. Although it is difficult to deal with, their defense is also very problematic.Blackburn ranks second in the league in terms of goals conceded this season. They have conceded 64 goals so far, an average of 2.2 goals per game.

Such a line of defense wants to withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of Manchester City, which has the most powerful offense this season, one word-difficult!

Levy sighed, but he still walked over to shake hands with Wigan Athletic manager Roberto Martinez in style.

Sure enough, the relegation team after half of the season is not easy to mess with. Alas... It seems that Liverpool will not be able to successfully defend the title this season. Different changes have taken place in history.

In the original history, Liverpool was in a downturn at this time, not to mention the Champions League, and the Europa League was not able to enter.The most powerful is the 2013-2014 season when Rodgers coached Liverpool, which brought Liverpool to No. 2 in the league. However, after losing the main striker Suarez, Liverpool seemed to be in a slump, and the results and game scenes were not satisfactory.

Therefore, in the league, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Chelsea are fighting for hegemony as a whole. Arsenal shout the slogan of fighting for the championship every year, but they are actually fighting for the fourth.

However, in Li Wei's position, Liverpool has introduced countless young talents under his leadership, and the team's strength is not at the same level as compared with history.

As a result, the league has become extremely fierce. Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, five teams have the strength to compete for the championship (if Arsenal did not often fall behind in the second half of the season, they would definitely have won at least one Premier League title. Champions, they have the strength to win the championship!), but the reality is that there is only one league champion, and there are only four places in the Champions League!

Can the league become easier to play?
It was Chelsea who were squeezed out last season and were forced to play in the Europa League.

So what about this season?And who was squeezed out?From the current point of view, it seems that Chelsea is the most likely.

Their coach Villas-Boas has also been fired, and now leading the team is club legend Roberto Di Matteo, who has been temporarily appointed as Chelsea's new coach until the end of the season.

他曾在1996年到2002年间效力于切尔西，并在斯坦福桥选择退役，帮助切尔西夺得过2个足总杯、1个联赛杯、1个欧洲优胜者杯和1个欧洲超级杯等荣誉。
