When playing at home, Liverpool faces Chelsea, who has never beaten his own in the Champions League. Liverpool should have faced Chelsea's challenges with extremely high morale and confidence, but the interference of too many off-court factors really makes Liverpool really not excited.

It turned out that the boss was just an internal fight, just fight, as long as you can get a salary, but now not only the boss fights, but the manager and the coach are also fighting, and the core killer Chen Yu may be sold. So many things have happened. If Liverpool players can still fight calmly, then unless they are robots.

During the morning training, Benitez also didn't smile at all, and players were prohibited from accepting interviews from reporters. During the lunch break, Benitez did not hide the problems that the club is now, but he hoped that the players would not be disturbed by these off-court factors. If the game is played well, no one will lose money if the boss or the head coach is replaced. If the game is not good, no one will get on stage.

Everyone knows the truth, but it is unrealistic to not think about it at all, and it is not affected at all. Liverpool players are relatively mature and know how to adjust themselves. They all try to meet Chelsea's challenges in the best condition.

Chelsea naturally hopes that Liverpool will be as chaotic as possible. At the press conference before the game, Grant not only deliberately mentioned Liverpool's civil strife, but also waved his olive branch to Liverpool's players very directly, hoping that Liverpool's players can join the Blues next season.

Benitez was very annoyed by Grant's dirty behavior. At the press conference, he directly accused Chelsea of ​​being too poached and not having the demeanor of a wealthy club. However, Benitez's accusations were useless. Grant only wanted to cause trouble for Liverpool and did not care about Benitez's reaction.

Every battle between Liverpool and Chelsea will attract the attention of fans all over the world. Although the game will not be too good, it will definitely be very fierce. If the game between Arsenal and Barcelona is regarded as a performance, then the game between Liverpool and Chelsea is a battle.

The players on the field are fighting, the fans off the field are fighting, and the head coach is fighting, and only the club owner does not fight. The main reason why the boss does not fight is that Abramovich does not like to show up in public and lets the opponent say anything. This rich Russian man never returns, and he will not even sit in the same box with his opponent's boss to watch the game.

In today's game, Liverpool's bosses are here. The game is very important. Although Gillette and Hicks really don't have that much mood, they still watch the game in order to show off.

However, Abu still did not come to the VIP room to watch the game with Gillette and Hicks. The replacement was Chelsea CEO Peter Kenyon.

The morale of Liverpool players was poor, but the soul of Shankley, the hardcore Liverpool fan, was as excited as before. They came to the stadium early, pulled up banners, put up team flags, and then began to sing the team song to create the atmosphere of the war. After they were infected, the fans later sang along. When Liverpool players came on stage, the entire Anfield Stadium had become a sea of ​​singing.

...

When you pass through the storm

Lift your head high

Don't be afraid of the darkness

At the end of the storm

There is a golden sky

Sweet singing with the lark

Through the wind

Through the rain

Your dream may be shattered

Keep moving forward, keep moving forward

With the hope in your heart

You will never walk alone You will never walk alone

...

Every time the players walk out of the player's passage and run to the court, this song "You Never Walk Alone" will sound on time, but the feeling that brings to Liverpool players today has a different meaning.

Liverpool is in a crisis at this moment, with a lot of financial debt and is likely to sell the team; in terms of management, the coach and manager, the boss and the boss, the boss and the manager, the boss and the manager, the boss and the coach quarreled and attacked each other, the players were panicked, and many people began to consider making another way to make a living.

At this time, this song "You Never Walk Alone" deeply touched the players. Yes, the boss may have to change, the head coach may have to change, and even the teammates may have to change, but the fans will never change, Liverpool will not change, and the color of the jersey will never change. In the past 116 years, Liverpool has changed countless bosses and coaches, but the Liverpool club still exists, and it will continue to exist. They are playing football for the boss, not for the coach, they are playing football for themselves, for the fans, and for this great club.

Almost instantly, the confusion and gloom in the hearts of Liverpool players were wiped out, full of sunshine and courage. They applauded the fans in the stands and walked towards the middle of the stadium.

Chen Yu has been to Liverpool for a year and a half, but he has not had a deep relationship with Liverpool. The Reds were not his first choice at the time. It was just because he was seriously injured at that time that other clubs were unwilling to take over. Only Liverpool was determined to buy him, so he came to Liverpool. In the past one and a half seasons, Chen Yu won the league championship for Liverpool for 16 years and the Champions League. Chen Yu felt that he was worthy of Liverpool, so he had the idea of ​​leaving when Liverpool's senior management was in a mess. But at this moment, Liverpool fans deeply moved Chen Yu. He felt that if the situation was not very bad, he would try his best to stay, even for these loyal fans.

After the pre-match ceremony, the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals kicked off with the Hungarian referee Kass.

Liverpool's starting lineup for this game is: No. 25 Reina/No. 17 Aberoa, No. 23 Carragher, No. 5 Ager, No. 6 Riser/No. 14 Alonso, No. 20 Mascherano, No. 11 Benayon/No. 8 Gerald/No. 18 Kuyt, No. 9 Chen Yu

Chelsea: No. 1 Cech/No. 20 Ferreira, No. 6 Carvalho, No. 26 Terry, No. 3 Ashley Cole/No. 10 Joe Cole, No. 8 Lampard, No. 4 Marklele, No. 13 Barack, No. 15 Maluda/No. 11 Drogba

Liverpool's starting lineup and league in this game, as well as the previous Champions League match, have changed in two positions. One is that right-back Finnan was replaced by No. 17 Aberoa, and the other is that Benardon replaced Pennant.

Bernardon is Sima Zhao's heart. Everyone knows that Liverpool, who plays at home, needs to win. Pennant has a strong assist breakthrough, but his shooting ability is very poor. Bernardon can not only assist breakthrough, but also score goals. With Chen Yu definitely being stared at, the last full-time forward with strong goal ability has also become a strong need for Benitez.

As for Finnan, the Irish has always been steady, the defense is reassuring, and the offensive pass is also good. It has always been the starting point in the mind of the conservative Benitez, but Finnan accidentally sprained his ankle during training, so he could only let Abero A push up.

The biggest change between Chelsea and before is that their aces Lampard, Barack and Drogba are all back. No matter how many of their skills they can play back from injury, it will at least make their teammates feel very at ease. However, Essin's yellow card suspension is a huge loss for Chelsea.

Essim's skills are not the best, and his body is not the strongest, but he is definitely the best on average between the two, not to mention that he has the best physical fitness for Chelsea. If he were there, Chelsea would at least be more confident in defending Chen Yu. Now, just one Chen Yu will make Grant's head look big.

Liverpool kicked off first.

Liverpool, who needed to win at home, did not rush to attack. They still passed the ball back step by step, hoping to find Chelsea's flaw before launching an attack.

Although Chelsea played away, their desire to win was stronger than Liverpool. This was not only to advance to the finals, but also to have grievances that had not been vented for many years.

This is Liverpool's fourth consecutive season to meet Chelsea in the Champions League. In Mourinho's era, Chelsea, the most arrogant and strongest, have dominated the Premier League. Their goal is to dominate Europe, but their ambitions have been smashed by Liverpool twice, and their hatred for Liverpool and Chelsea are far better than Manchester United and Arsenal.

When Liverpool was still trying to wait for the opportunity, Chelsea took the initiative to press forward, pressing forward from three lines together, with a fierce momentum, and it felt like it was going to be the go, swallowing Liverpool in one bite.

Chelsea pushed so quickly that in such an important game, Liverpool's defender dared not control the ball. Carragher was assigned to the sidelines, and Aberoa from the sidelines kicked in the frontcourt.

This must be a long pass, but it certainly does not have much accuracy. Even if the two forwards were not surrounded by Chelsea's midfielder and defender, it would be difficult for the two forwards to receive the ball passed by the fullback from the seventy or eighty meters.

The ball was no surprise and was pushed to midfielder Lampard by defender Terry.

Lampard gave Joe Kor again, and Joe Kor took a few steps forward and passed Drogba at the front of the penalty area.

Carrag's power is incomparable to Warcraft, and his height is at a disadvantage. Even if Drogba doesn't turn around and force him to eat him, he just controls the ball to organize the attack, Carrag's unacceptable situation. Seeing Drogba leaning against Carrag's back and stop the ball with his right foot, Carrag's simply kicks the ball with his own ball, and kicks Drogba from behind to the ground.

Beep!

The referee's whistle clogged sounded.

Free kick.

The game was just two minutes into the beginning, and Kasai did not give Carrager a yellow card, but only verbally warned Carrager.

"good!"

"Yellow card!"

Chelsea fans who came to watch the game were cheering.

"Shh!"

Seeing the referee giving his opponent a free kick with a good position at the beginning, the Liverpool fans in the stands were very dissatisfied and began to boo.

The free kick position is indeed very good, only 25 yards away from the goal.
Chapter completed!
