In the league, Liverpool is one of the three most watched English clubs, but in the Champions League, Liverpool has become the unique protagonist!
There are four Premier League teams participating in the Champions League this season, namely Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, and Arsenal. However, only Liverpool has reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League!

Manchester City entered the death group and did not even break out of the group stage. It can be said that if it were not for the support of the league results, Manchester City coach Mancini would have been fired like Chelsea coach Villas-Boas.

Manchester United did not enter the death group, but this season Manchester United has been surprisingly weak in Europe.Their group opponents are Benfica, Basel (Swiss giants), and Galati Steel (Romanian giants). Except for Benfica, a second-tier league giant, the other teams are small league giants.

At that time, experts predicted that Manchester United would definitely appear, and the only question was whether it would capsize in the gutter and appear as the second place in the group stage.The most likely second place in the group stage is Benfica, and of course it may be Basel.As for Galati Steel, they are here purely for soy sauce, and they are participating in the Champions League for the first time in history.

The result is...Galati Steel really came to play soy sauce, but Benfica and Basel did not come to accompany the prince to study. In the end, Benfica won the No.1 group stage with an unbeaten record of three wins and three draws. Not bad, three wins, two draws and one loss, with eleven points, only one less than Benfica.Manchester United can't do it anymore, with two wins, three draws and one loss, they only scored nine points and were sent to the Europa League to shine.

In the round of [-], only Liverpool and Arsenal remained in the Premier League. At that time, many media predicted that UEFA would make nothing but Liverpool and AC Milan.Unexpectedly, Liverpool did not hit AC Milan, but ran into Naples, but Arsenal hit AC Milan.

In the first round, AC Milan gave Arsenal a 4:0 at the San Siro Stadium. Although AC Milan has a lot of black history of being reversed, this time AC Milan did not reverse Arsenal.Back at the Emirates Stadium, although Arsenal struggled to give AC Milan a 3:0, they lost 3:4 on the total score.

So Premier League fans found that if they wanted to support their home country team, they could only choose to support Liverpool.

UEFA also spares no effort to promote the UEFA Champions League match between Liverpool and APOEL. It is impossible not to promote it!

APOEL is a small team, not to mention its influence in Europe, even in the countries surrounding Cyprus.

If only Cyprus contributed to the ratings, UEFA would have to kneel.

How big is Cyprus?The population is only 85! !
Even if everyone watched it that night, it was useless-in fact, it was impossible for everyone to watch it. After all, there are always some people who are not fans, and some people are fans, but fans of Cyprus' sworn enemy.

At this time, Liverpool needs to contribute, otherwise the ratings will be too ugly.

Broadcasters will have opinions!

Don't think that after signing the contract, UEFA can ignore the ratings problem, and the broadcasters can demand compensation if the ratings are too low.

UEFA also called APOEL coach Ivan Jovanovic to hint that he could speak more boldly in the pre-match press conference.

What does it mean to be bolder?To put it bluntly, I just hope that Ivan Jovanovic will provoke a war of words.

But Ivan Jovanovic is not willing to do this. Provoking a war of words also means provoking the fighting spirit of Liverpool players, which is not in line with his plan.

Ivan Jovanovic did not heed UEFA's cues. In the pre-match press conference, the 49-year-old but already gray-haired Serbian coach was very low-key: "It is an honor to meet Liverpool. , but it will also make us more motivated."

When a reporter asked if he was sure of winning at Anfield.

Ivan Jovanovic also said low-key: "It is disrespectful to everyone to talk about victory now. After the game, everything will have an answer."

Levi and assistant coach Rodelfo Borel also watched this pre-match press conference.

Rodelfo Borel sighed: "This is a watertight person. Don't look at his low-key answer, but he secretly encouraged his players without stimulating the fighting spirit of Liverpool players."

The words at the pre-match press conference seemed to be spoken to the outside world, but why weren't they spoken to their own players?
Li Wei smiled and said: "Being able to participate in the Champions League for the second time and lead the team to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, such a team and such a head coach, even if they are lucky, they should not be underestimated." .Of course, you can’t underestimate yourself, Liverpool have enough strength to beat them!”

At Liverpool's pre-match press conference, Levy said: "Although APOEL comes from a small country with a population of only 85, this is not a reason for Liverpool to underestimate the opponent. In this game, Liverpool will go all out! "

That's what Levi said, and even more so.

Although this Elton is also Brazilian, it is purely the same name.In the battle where APOEL defeated Lyon, it was Elton who helped APOEL score the equalizer goal, which eventually dragged the game into a penalty shootout. This was the result of APOEL defeating Lyon in a penalty shootout club thing.

Although APOEL's Elton has the same name as the "Ball Lightning" Elton of the Bundesliga, they still have similarities. APOEL's Elton is a speed forward, and at the same time he has the strength of his feet. very strong.In the APOEL game against Lyon Football Club, he broke the goal by relying on heavy artillery to break the goal.
