Dynasty reappears

Chapter 166 Red and Blue Battle
On January 2008, 1, the 31th round of the Premier League started. Liverpool challenged the Hammers to help West Ham United.I don't know why, Arsenal has been in a good state since Christmas, but it may also be because they have not faced a strong team, so they have been pressing Liverpool by one point for so long, occupying the top spot in the standings.Behind Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea are also catching up one after another, and they all maintain a good momentum.However, in Li Lin's view, Manchester United has already been able to cause too much trouble for Liverpool. After all, the gap of 24 points is still very large.Chelsea, huh, Chelsea has been automatically omitted by Li Lin. If it wasn’t for Mourinho and Grant’s good hand, which gave Grant a chance to enter the Champions League knockout round, Li Lin would have fired him long ago, no matter what , Abu has a soft spot for firing squid, and I feel uncomfortable if I don’t eat one meal every year.

In the game against West Ham, Li Lin sent Kompany to the field for the first time to partner with Mertesacker.And after Mertesacker was trained by Professor Pitt, he was no longer so thin. It is estimated that he was not the one who made him fall to the ground when he met Drogba's beast again.

Judging from the game situation, Kompany and Mertesacker have not sparked yet, and the performance of the two can only be regarded as quite satisfactory. For a strong team, even with a cheating device in hand, Li Lin does not have much confidence in guaranteeing a clean sheet.

At home, West Ham always played very proactively. The magic wing composed of Benayoun and former Arsenal winger Ljungberg caused considerable trouble for Liverpool. Riise and Alves were even suppressed for a period of time. In the backcourt, he didn't dare to move, always guarding against the surprise attacks of these two people.

However, the brilliant time in West Ham lasted only 20 minutes. After withstood West Ham's three-axed offensive, Liverpool immediately counterattacked strongly, caught West Ham by surprise, and with the momentum of lightning, Nani After making a surprise cut inside, he scored a wonderful world wave, helping Liverpool score the first goal, and at the same time completely changing the situation on the field.

After scoring a goal at home, West Ham has no way out, and they can only attack aggressively if they don't want to lose.But this happened to fall into Li Lin's trap, and what he was waiting for was West Ham's move.

That's right, Li Lin just wanted to fight West Ham's counterattack.Under Li Lin's command, Liverpool immediately retracted their formation, leaving only three attackers, Nani, Torres and Owen in the frontcourt.

Facing Liverpool's iron barrel defense, West Ham had the hammer but could not find a breakthrough.Time passed by every minute and every second, and the anxious mood had permeated the whole West Ham team.There is really no way, Ljungberg can only end the attack with a long shot after taking the ball.

Unexpectedly, his kick hit Alonso's foot, and after the football rebounded, it happened to fall at Owen's feet.

Today's Irving has already changed his previous playing style and no longer likes to run long distances with the ball by himself, because this will make him suffer too much damage from the opponent's defenders.So now Irving is often used as an offensive terminator.

Owen took the ball and kicked it to the right in an instant. Nani ran fast and directly threw West Ham player Upson two blocks away to receive the ball.After receiving the ball, Nani continued to dribble, while Irving and Torres in the middle, Gerrard and Modric who inserted in the back row were all running quickly.

What is needed for a counterattack, speed, and more importantly, the first time to pass the ball to the opponent's goal to shoot.Nani is fast until he is fast, but if he continues to dribble like this, it will only delay the fighter and let the West Ham players return to the defense.So Nani passed the ball and passed the ball into the West Ham penalty area.

Now there are many players with good shooting skills in the Liverpool team, but when it comes to the sense of smell in front of the goal, Owen is definitely the first in the team, even in Europe.After Nani passed the ball, Torres, Gerrard and the two defensive players in West Ham's backcourt all went to fight for the first point.But the ball got out of the crowd inexplicably.

This sudden moment made West Ham goalkeeper Green and Anton Ferdinand who was standing in front of the goal defending, that is, Ferdinand's younger brother in the Manchester United team, stunned for a moment. When they woke up and prepared to defend, it was too late.

"Nani's pass.....the top.....West Ham danger.....Liverpool chance....Owen.....shot...goal..."

"Owen... Owen..." The 2000 Liverpool fans who came to Upton Park with the team shouted Owen's name loudly at the moment. They will feel extremely excited, even more excited than Torres, Pato and others scoring goals.This may be because Owen is a product of Liverpool's youth training, and he is his own.In fact, no matter where they are or what club they are in, fans are always very fond of the players produced by their team's youth training. Think about Manchester United's Scholes and Ryan Giggs, and then think about Real Madrid's Raul and Gucci. Casillas, Casillas, even Ronaldinho, who has conquered the so-called most demanding Barcelona fans, is not the favorite of Barcelona fans. The favorite of Barcelona fans is still the players produced by their own La Masia.Therefore, this point is already commonplace in football.

In the second half, Liverpool changed their defensive and counterattack tactics in the second half of the first half, and boldly pressed forward to attack, which made the head coach of West Ham feel at a loss. He originally told the players in the locker room that Liverpool would continue to defend in the second half, so One point is to attack aggressively and strive to equalize the score in the second half.But Li Lin didn't play the cards according to common sense. In the second half, he should play offensively. The head coach of West Ham wanted to rush to Li Lin and pinch his neck and said, "Why are you playing me like this?"

One wrong step, one wrong step. In the end, the ending of West Ham was quite tragic. They were kicked 5 eggs on the head by Liverpool. Kompany also scored his first goal after joining Liverpool. Excited.

After defeating West Ham, Liverpool returned to home and ushered in the black cat Sunderland.In fact, Liverpool has always been very kind when facing underdogs. They always confirm the lead at the beginning of the game, and then take advantage of the momentum to pursue and continue to expand the score, completely entering the game into garbage time, so that the opponent will not suffer so painfully.How about it, Liverpool is really kind!
After defeating Sunderland, the Premier League ushered in a short break, but Li Lin could not relax at all, because after 7 days, Liverpool will go to Stamford Bridge to challenge the Blues Chelsea. This is also the third match between Liverpool and Chelsea this season. .

However, it seems that Chelsea's draw with Liverpool at Liverpool's home court at the beginning of the season has greatly improved Chelsea's self-confidence, which is even more crazy.In an interview, Terry threatened that "Chelsea can draw Liverpool in the away game, then they will definitely be able to defeat Liverpool at home, breaking Liverpool's record of undefeated for so long."

Crazy, so crazy, to beat Liverpool.However, Li Lin still appreciates Terry's belief, but the problem is that even if Li Lin is willing to lose Liverpool, he is not willing to do so.And Terry is crazy, and there are even crazier than him. Facing Terry's provocation, Gerrard, who is also the captain of the team, is the new World Footballer of the Year, and the winner of the European Ballon d'Or, immediately refused: "Chelsea, Hehe, although they drew with us at our home court, it was just their luck. Stamford Bridge is no longer an impenetrable bunker, and the Red Army will definitely conquer there again, proving that Liverpool is the strongest in the Premier League."

For a while, players from the red and blue armies fought a war of words, and the smell of gunpowder before the war became more and more intense.But I don't know if it was an agreement in advance or there was a tacit understanding. Neither Li Lin nor Grant expressed their opinions to the outside world, and they all left it to their own players.

As time goes by, the eyes of the whole of Europe are once again focused on the British peninsula!

PS: Huh, there is still an exam today, so it is a bit late, sorry everyone.The Christmas schedule has started, I hope Liverpool can give more strength, Baoyasu will stop hitting the post, let's score some goals, ha ha.

Xiao ing still asks to count the votes!
