The battle between Chelsea and Liverpool was regarded as a boring game before the game. Some media even said that no one would applaud this game except for Liverpool and Chelsea fans. Everyone put their hopes for exciting games on the match between Manchester United and Barcelona.

Barcelona is known as the Dream Team and the representative of artistic football. Manchester United has always played passionately. It is normal for the collision between the two teams to make people look forward to it.

However, football is always full of surprises. The battle between Chelsea and Liverpool was not favored before the game was ups and downs. Red cards, owned, world waves, and exciting games were almost all of them, full of drama. However, the battle between Manchester United and Barcelona, ​​which was highly anticipated, scored a dry 0:0 at the European Dream Theater Camp Nou. Not only was the result unsatisfactory, but the process was also unreasonable.

After the game, Spain's "As" questioned: "The two teams with the strongest offensive ability in the Champions League did not score a single goal. They have offensive players like C-Ronaldo, Messi, Rooney, Etoo, Nani and Boyan, but the two teams are making a big fuss in defense. Has modern football become more utilitarian?"

Catalonia's mouthpiece "Daily Sports" also expressed dissatisfaction with the game, "This is a bad game. Barcelona, ​​who is known for offense, did not score a goal at the Camp Nou Stadium, and there are not many threatening shots. Do they want to stage an offensive battle at Old Trafford? I have to say that Manchester United's conservatism is the main reason for the ugly appearance of this game. Manchester United is also a European giant. A team that has won the triple-champ. It is difficult to understand how timid he is at Camp Nou. Without dominance, is Manchester United still the Red Devils? Of course, 0:0 is not the worst result. In the knockout match between the two rounds, the value of not conceding the ball will even exceed the goal. I hope Barcelona can score at Old Trafford."

The English media regretted that Manchester United did not seize the penalty kick away. The Sun said: Manchester United did a beautiful first leg and they won a draw. The only regret is that C. Ronaldo did not seize the penalty kick, otherwise the first leg of the semi-final would be a perfect match. Manchester United achieved satisfactory results at Camp Nou. After returning to Old Trafford, they played at their doorstep and had a home advantage, but because they did not score away goals, the key to the next round would be whether they could defend it. As long as they could defend it, Ronaldo and Rooney had a great chance to break through Barcelona's goal."

The game between Liverpool and Chelsea is not very exciting. Apart from two goals, the two teams are more entangled in the midfield, but compared with Barcelona and Manchester United, the game between Liverpool and Chelsea is much more exciting.

After the game, most media praised this game. The Sun said: "Although Liverpool and Chelsea encountered too many times, yesterday's game was definitely a classic." The Times said: "Whether from the process or the result, Liverpool and Chelsea had better than Manchester United and Barcelona's battle. It has to be said that Ronaldo and Messi are still not mature enough than Chen Yu. If Ronaldo scored that penalty, the game might be completely different." The Daily Mail joked: "Chen Yu can control the goal, but God can control the game. The last thirty seconds of the own goal made Liverpool's home victory go to waste."

The media appreciates the excitement and drama of the competition, but it is difficult to make this dramatic party.

Media from all countries have made bitter criticism of Liser's stupid mistakes, and local Liverpool media have even regarded him as the culprit for Liverpool's forced draw.

Riser has served in Anfield since 2001. He is an old minister of the Hollier era and has a close relationship with old players such as Gerrard. Therefore, even if he made such a stupid mistake, no one in the team blamed him. Agel said: "I understand him. Everyone in that position will make such mistakes several times." Mascherano was the player who defended in the penalty area with Riser at the time. His duty was to defend Drogba with Carragher. The Argentine said that it was unbearable to conceal the ball in this way, but there was no intention of blaming Riser.

However, Riser said that he almost couldn't fall asleep that night. In an interview with local Norwegian media, Riser explained the ball: "I just wanted to push the ball to the direction of the ball, but I didn't expect the ball to be so low. Kalu's cross was a little spinning, and the ball was very wet, rubbed against my forehead and hit the goal. But I will definitely learn from the lesson and walk out of the shadow."

The comments after the game were lively. Not only fans, players, and coaches, but most of the players in the wealthy teams are veterans who have experienced many battles. Even young players are famous at a young age and have enough immunity to media reporters. They rarely get overly excited and sad and desperate because of the media's praise and criticism. Except for Riser who made such a big mistake, most of the others can treat them with a normal heart.

This is even more needed for Liverpool and Manchester United. They are different from Chelsea and Barcelona. These two teams only have the task of the Champions League, and there is no hope for the league and domestic cups. Liverpool and Manchester United still have to fight for the league championship.

In the 35th round of the league, Liverpool's opponent is Birmingham, and Manchester United's opponent is Chelsea.

Judging from the name alone, Manchester United is several times more difficult than Liverpool, but in fact, Liverpool is much more difficult than Manchester United.

Chelsea is now hopeless for a championship, but no one can threaten the Champions League place. The league is no different from a friendly match for Chelsea. As long as they don’t lose face, they will not be embarrassed with Manchester United after just three days of playing in the Champions League. Chelsea has no bias to whether Manchester United wins the championship or Liverpool wins the championship.

But Liverpool's opponent Birmingham is now desperately relegating. They will definitely win at all costs in the game against Liverpool. Liverpool just played a Champions League battle with Chelsea. It is not easy to defeat Birmingham, who is vowed to die.

The difference between Liverpool and Manchester United is now 3 points. Even if they lose in this game, they have the advantage in their mutual winning and losing relationship and goal difference. The same points are still Liverpool won the championship. From this perspective, Liverpool can afford to lose.

Of course, Liverpool is the best now. If you lose, you can't even draw with Manchester City in the next two games, so there will be too many surprises. Compared with the Champions League, the league championship is relatively stable. Liverpool now needs to win Birmingham at the lowest cost to solve their worries.

Worst Mountain Training Base

Yang Cheng, the Chinese boss of Birmingham, was walking back and forth in the office. He frowned and finally finally turned off the cigar and fucked the phone.

"Xiaobin, come here...well, I'm in Mount Worst."

Yang Xiaobin is Yang Cheng's cousin and a record of the sports edition of Hong Kong's "City News"? In England, he is Yang Cheng's confidant and ears. When Yang Cheng was not in Birmingham, Yang Xiaobin would truthfully report all the big and small things that happened here to Yang Cheng.

Twenty minutes later, Yang Xiaobin came to Yang Cheng's office.

"Sit down, Xiaobin."

Yang Xiaobin added a glass of water to Yang Cheng, poured a glass himself, sat on the sofa and waited for Yang Cheng to explain his purpose.

He didn't talk much and did things carefully and seriously. Yang Cheng admired Yang Xiaobin's point very much, which is also an important reason why he relied on this cousin.

"I asked you to come today because I wanted you to contact Chen Yu. You also understand the current situation of Birmingham. Not to mention Derby County, they have been relegated, and there are two relegation places left. Four teams compete. Reading and we now have 31 points, Fulham has 27 points, and Bolton has 32 points. If we can score 3 points in the game against Liverpool, relegation cannot be said to be sure to win at least 30%. Now Liverpool is leading Manchester United three-pointers, and their mutual record and goal difference are superior. This game will not affect their winning the championship. I hope you can contact Chen Yu and let him show mercy in the game the day after tomorrow." Yang Cheng did not go around and told him the purpose of calling Yang Xiaobin.

Yang Xiaobin pondered for a moment and said, "No problem, I can visit him in the name of an interview. As far as I know, he still takes good care of Chinese journalists, but how can my uncle impress him? Is it just because we are all Chinese?"

Yang Cheng said: "Actually, there is no benefit in Liverpool fighting with us. They will have the Champions League semi-finals against Chelsea in the middle of next week. Will they win this game? Manchester United will not lose to Chelsea, who is undesireful in the league without any desires. Liverpool wants to win the championship at least one round. This is an objective reality. If Liverpool and Manchester United have the same points, I would not make this request at all. In addition, if you want money or people, Birmingham shares or if you want to enter the Hong Kong real estate market, I can help him, as long as he shows mercy."

Yang Xiaobin said: "As long as uncle makes such a determination, I think Chen Yu will be moved. But we may not be able to win the game if we only deal with Chen Yu."

Yang Cheng said: "Without Chen Yu, Liverpool's combat effectiveness will drop by at least 30%. After just playing in the Champions League, their physical fitness will drop by 20%. There will be a decisive battle with Chelsea next week, so they will still retain 20%. In this way, they can play 30% or 40% of their strength. If we still can't win, McLeish can be dismissed."

Yang Xiaobin immediately stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go find Chen Yu now."

Yang Cheng said: "Don't worry, go there after dinner. He must be training now. You can go to him later. But now he is busy preparing for a game with us and may not meet you."

Yang Xiaobin said: "It doesn't matter, I will convince his agent Zhang Shubin."

...

At 6:00 p.m., Chen Yu finished training and drove home. The Filipino maid had already prepared the meal and Zhang Shubin was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper.

Since Zhao Muyu and Zhang Youzhen left, because Zhang Shubin's time was not fixed and he could not take care of Chen Yu's daily life every day, he found a Filipino maid to cook, wash and clean.

"Let's have something to tell you." Zhang Shubin put down the newspaper, got up and put the bowls and chopsticks on the dining table.

"What's the matter?" Chen Yu put down his bag, sat at the dining table, picked up chopsticks to prepare for the meal.

"That's right. A Chinese reporter wants to interview you. He is the nephew of Birmingham boss Yang Cheng." Zhang Shubin specifically pointed out the identity of the reporter.

Chen Yu indeed put down his chopsticks, looked at Zhang Shubin with bright eyes, and said, "What does it mean?"

Zhang Shubin smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Chen Yu said: "Lobbyist?"

Zhang Shubin said: "It's a good opportunity. He is very straightforward and generous. He wants money and people or Birmingham shares or enters the real estate market in Hong Kong."

Chen Yu said: "How can he help me?"

Zhang Shubin said: "It's okay if you don't score."

Chen Yu smiled slightly and said, "Even if I want to score, I have to be able to play. What if I can't play?"

Zhang Shubin smiled and said, "No one knows this. As long as you don't score, you will ask these conditions."

Chen Yu said: "Uncle Zhang, what do you think? ē

Zhang Shubin said: "This... Actually... Xiaoyu, you are 30 years old during the Chinese New Year. We need to consider more personal interests. If you still can't live without football, I think it's a good idea to take some shares in Birmingham. If Yang Cheng is not from Hong Kong, Birmingham's shares are not that easy to get."

Chen Yu pondered: "Although we can afford to lose in this game, there are many uncontrollable factors after all, and it is better to win. In addition, the day after tomorrow, this game is Benitez's 150th game at Liverpool. If he wins, he can surpass Hollier and become the Liverpool head coach second only to Shankley."

Zhang Shubin said: "I think it's okay if you agree. With Benitez's personality, he will not fight against Birmingham. He has always been the priority of interests. He doesn't care about these false names at all."
