Chapter 860 Rising Stars
Pussy! Pussy! Pussy...
With the whistle of two short and one long, the game ended.
Anfield suddenly felt like boiling magma, with red surging everywhere, and hot cheers everywhere.
"Victory! We have won!"
"Long live Liverpool! Long live Chen Yu!"
"This is Anfield! Go and die!"
...
Listening to the manic cheers around, Marseille owner Robert and his wife Margarita looked unhappy. In addition to being rude and rude to Liverpool fans, they also were dissatisfied with Liverpool boss Gillette, because during this game, Gillette ran out twice to celebrate with the fans. Although this made them less embarrassed, the Roberts and his wife still felt that Gillette was just an irrespectful guy.
"Marseille played very well, I think you have the ability to qualify from this group."
Gillette tried his best to suppress his joy and let himself shake hands with Robert and his wife calmly.
Robert and his wife also suppressed their disgust and smiled. Congratulations to Gillette, "Mr. Gillette praises, Marseille and Liverpool are far from each other. You are a real giant. I wish you defend the Champions League."
Watching Robert and his wife leave, Gillette was very happy and even forgot about debt. He just thought that if the fans were full of games like this, they would build a new stadium next year and make a lot of money every year, and it would not be considered as an increasingly huge advertising revenue.
The players in Marseille retreated as quickly as possible, leaving only Liverpool players. The reporters in England originally wanted to interview Cice, Czenden, and Sherro, who used to play for Liverpool, but they were also rejected by their expressionless faces.
It was originally an expected victory, but after a hard battle, the excitement of Liverpool players almost kept up with the battle between the giants. They were swaying around the middle of the stadium and celebrating the victory with the fans around them.
The one who performed the best today is naturally Chen Yu. After enjoying the applause and cheers of the fans, the reporters found Chen Yu again. This is a fixed procedure for almost every game, and Chen Yu was also annoyed, but who made him the number one star in Liverpool? He performed so well every time.
In fact, Chen Yu still has a lot to say. He first expressed his intention to give the goal to captain Gerald, hoping that he would return from injury as soon as possible, and then warned his teammates, saying that the opponents in Group A are not weak. If they don’t take it seriously, it is not easy for Liverpool to win the first place in the group. Finally, seeing an interview with a Chinese reporter, Chen Yu apologized to the Chinese fans for his inability to participate in the qualifiers with Myanmar, but promised to participate in the top 20 next year.
Chen Yu's post-match speech not only excited Chinese fans, but also happy fans from other parts of the world. After Chen Yu debuted, he won Serie A championship, Premier League and Champions League championship in succession, and his performance in the club was a miracle. However, fans regret that Chen Yu was unable to perform in the World Cup due to the conflict with the Chinese Football Association and the coach. Previously, fans thought that Chen Yu would appear in the national team in the qualifying match with Myanmar, but the Football Association announced that Chen Yu would not participate in the match with Myanmar, which disappointed Chen Yu and worried that Chen Yu would collapse again with the Chinese Football Association. Now Chen Yu publicly apologized to the fans and said that he would definitely participate in the top 20 Asian qualifying match next year, which made fans completely relieved.
At the press conference after the game, Marseille head coach Gretz was very disappointed. He believed that Marseille could achieve a good result at Anfield, but the result was disappointing. However, Gretz did not criticize his players. He believed that the players performed well, but Liverpool's strength was too strong. Even without Gerrard, Chen Yu alone was enough to determine the result of the game. Gretz believed that losing to Liverpool away would not have much impact on the qualifying situation in Group A. Liverpool would definitely qualify, and Marseille and Porto competed for the second qualifying place. Although Porto tied Liverpool at home, Porto had no chance of winning at Anfield, and there was a high possibility of losing. If Marseille wanted to qualify in the group, what was important was the direct dialogue with Porto, rather than the result of the game with Liverpool.
Although he won the game and scored three points, Benitez was not satisfied with the game. He believed that Liverpool in this state could not go too far in the Champions League. It is also very dangerous to rely on Chen Yu to solve the problem every time. Once Chen Yu's condition declines or has injuries, then Liverpool is in danger. Benitez hopes that the players will quit? Avoid being impatient, adjust their condition, and strive to lock in the right to qualify as soon as possible to avoid falling into the dilemma of long-term multi-line combat.
Regarding the outstanding performance of three former Liverpool players, Cice and Sherro, Benitez said that he thought of this before the game, but they still caused great trouble for Liverpool. "Zeneden and Cice are all excellent players, they just are not suitable for Liverpool. Liverpool has good configuration now, and I don't think it's a mistake to push them into the transfer market. Of course, it's a very happy thing for Marseille to have them. They can improve Marseille's strength, and I hope they can have a better future."
Five minutes after the Liverpool and Porto matches ended, Porto and Besquetas also ended. Porto, who played away, beat Besquetas 1-0, is now ranked second with one win and one draw, Liverpool is ranked first with one draw, Marseille is ranked third with one win and one loss, Besquetas loses both games and is ranked last in the group.
After learning about Porto's defeat of Besiktas away, fans and media felt the importance of Chen Yu's two goals with Marseille. If Liverpool cannot win Marseille at home, with Porto and Marseille, if Liverpool wants to win the first place in the group, they must win against Porto in the back and win the game in Marseille. Then Liverpool will be under great pressure, and it is possible that the gutter will capsize under heavy pressure.
The Times commented after the game: "Besiktas is the weakest, the qualifying battle in Group A is basically played between Marseille, Porto and Liverpool, among which Liverpool is the strongest. As the defending champion, if Liverpool wants to go easier, he must strive to be the first in the group. However, being tied by Porto in the first round made Liverpool passive, which made this game with Marseille very critical. If Liverpool cannot win, the first place in the group will be no longer safe. In the situation in the first half and the score is behind, Chen Yu saved Liverpool. His two gold goals helped Liverpool defeat Marseille. Relying on the advantage of the number of goals, Liverpool beat Porto to be the first in Group A, taking the initiative into his own hands."
The Times also pointed out Liverpool's current problem, which is that he is too dependent on Chen Yu. If Chen Yu is not there, he will not score goals. This is very dangerous for a giant team. Even if Chen Yu is strong, he will definitely have injuries and bad condition. If no one stands up at that time, Liverpool's plan to defend his title will be disappointed.
The Guardian believes that Liverpool is still in no way in the best form. They can win because they have Chen Yu. If Chen Yu and Cice change teams, Marseille will win today. Although the Guardian criticized Liverpool for not playing well, they believe that after defeating Marseille at home, Liverpool has actually taken the initiative to qualify in their own hands. As long as they perform normally in the future, the first place in the group is no problem.
The Sun praised Liverpool killer Chen Yu, believing that Chen Yu's best signings in Liverpool in the past 20 years. If Chen Yu can stay in Liverpool for a longer time, it is not impossible for him to become the best in Liverpool's history.
However, the Sun is not very cold about Liverpool coach Benitez. He believes that the main reason for Liverpool's hard play is Benitez. If it weren't for Benitez's big rotation strategy, Liverpool would have been very easy in the league and the Champions League. Benitez has created so many difficulties for Liverpool, and joked that Benitez has no difficulties and has to go to the difficulties.
Although fans, media, and coaches are not very satisfied with Liverpool, compared with other giants, the situation of Liverpool, which is stumbling, cannot be considered bad.
In the second round of the group stage, AC Milan, the runner-up of the last Champions League, lost to the Celtics away, and the Champions League king Real Madrid was tied by Lazio. Although Chelsea finally defeated Valencia by 1 goal, it was not easy for Chelsea to get the first place in the group because of Rosenberg's tie in the first round. Among the giants, Manchester United, Arsenal, Inter Milan and Barcelona are better than Liverpool. However, because the opponents in this group of Liverpool are average, after the second round of the Champions League group stage, European bookmakers raised Liverpool's championship odds. After Liverpool was tied by Porto in the last round, their odds dropped to Barcelona, Milan, and Real Madrid. Now Liverpool's championship odds have increased by two places, second only to Barcelona.
In the Champions League scorer list, Chen Yu led the way with 3 goals, and Barcelona's young player scored 2 goals, followed closely behind. In the odds of the Champions League top scorer, Chen Yu also took the lead, and Barcelona's young player Messi, who ranked second, was also Barcelona's young player, such as the original forward superstars Henry, Shevchenko, and Inzaghi were all left behind by the 20-year-old Messi.
After Chen Yu's comet-like rise, both the Champions League top scorer and the European top scorer were dominated by Chen Yu. No one else could even get close to Chen Yu, and now the Argentine young player has finally begun to challenge Chen Yu's dominance.
Of course, Messi is not only the ones who challenged it. Ronaldo, the winger of the Red Devils and Manchester United, is also in a strong momentum now. He scored a goal in the league and now scored 1 goal in the Champions League, second only to Chen Yu and Messi in terms of odds of the top scorer of the Champions League. With Manchester United's strength and condition, Ronaldo also has the opportunity to compete for the top scorer of the Champions League.
