The sweeping army of the greenery

Chapter 47 Champions League Group Stage

People are in good spirits on happy occasions.

Li Tiancheng is about to receive a large amount of income, and he is in a good mood, as are the other Liverpool players.

On the training ground, Liverpool players were talking and laughing as they warmed up.

The victory over West Bromwich Albion put a lot of pressure on Liverpool, and the fact that Gerrard stayed in the team after the summer window closed completely stabilized the morale of the army.

Although Gerrard has repeatedly stated that he will stay in Liverpool, this does not affect the media's conspiracy theories.

After all, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Chelsea, the three giants are chasing, any one is better than the down-and-out Liverpool, and normal people will choose to transfer.

Liverpool's original top card is a good example. Owen kept renewing his contract, and turned around to realize the "child emperor's dream".

And Manchester United and Chelsea's rich and powerful posture, Ferguson and Mourinho's pursuit of Gerrard are all disturbing!
Well now, Gerrard did what he said, stayed in the team, and the team's style of play is gradually getting on track.

For the upcoming Champions League group stage, Liverpool soldiers are full of confidence.

Liverpool are in a group with Monaco, Deportivo and Olympiacos.

The opponent is still relatively strong.

The Legalist team Monaco was the runner-up in the Champions League last season. No matter how dark the horse is, it still has its own strength.

Not to mention Deportivo, "Super Deportivo" is not just talking. A few years ago, Real Madrid and Barcelona were pressed together and rubbed against each other.

The Greek giant Olympiacos looks the weakest, but it is really not to be underestimated. Greece just won the European Cup in the summer, and a big upset broke out. Several main players in the team are Olympiacos players.

If Liverpool wants to appear smoothly, they must treat each opponent with caution. Once they make a mistake, it is not uncommon to be suffocated by this group of opponents in the group stage.

Liverpool first ushered in the challenge of Monaco at home.

This is Liverpool's 100th Champions League game, which is quite meaningful. .

The pre-match media hype was intense. In the Anfield Stadium, apart from the KOP stand, the other three sides of the stands finally had no obvious vacancies!

In the previous game, although the atmosphere at Anfield was created well, there were obvious vacancies in the stands on three sides.

Irving fled to the Bernabéu at a low price, and the club was in dismal business. This unlucky appearance was really shocking, and the fans were greatly hurt!

The results are not bad now, the appearance of the little prince Li Tiancheng, and the news that the club's finances have improved significantly, have finally restored the fighting spirit of most fans.

Li Tiancheng did contribute a lot here, Liverpool fans are not stupid, they support Li Tiancheng Yu Jia.

England and even the whole world, many places are mocking Liverpool.

Li Tiancheng was crowned the "little prince" after he played well in a few games, and he didn't even finish a whole game.

At this time, all Liverpool fans share the same hatred.

"They are jealous because they don't have such a genius, a genius who can score goals in the Champions League and the Premier League at the age of 17!"

Li Tiancheng was a little proud of this, and finally got a wide range of positive recognition and support.

Of course, this does not delay him from continuing to be a substitute.

In this game, Liverpool put up a 4231 formation as usual.

However, it is different from the last round of the league.

First, Garcia went to the middle, and Kewell changed to the left.This actually has little effect, after all, the two of them can change positions freely, which is the benefit of being omnipotent.

Secondly, Alonso replaced Haman and partnered with Gerrard as a midfielder.

After the game started, Benitez made these adjustments, and the effect was very good.

The connection between Garcia and Alonso makes Liverpool's midfield look full of creativity.

After the start of the game, Monaco took the lead, and Caron fired directly from 30 meters away, severely testing Dudek's saving ability.

Then, Liverpool took over.

Garcia and Alonso started the show, directly suppressing Monaco.

Garcia was the first to show off. He passed the ball with his back heel in front of the penalty area. After receiving the ball, Alonso gave the ball to Finnan on the right. Finnan passed directly to win Liverpool's first corner kick.

It's a pity that the quality of the corner kick was not very good and it did not pose a threat.

Garcia continued to work hard, running straight through the instep of the instep, tearing the Monaco defense, but unfortunately Cisse's shot went directly wide of the goal!

"Brother, you are the top scorer in Ligue [-]!" Li Tiancheng felt that he had a new habit of complaining about Cisse every game.

"Since the beginning, Liverpool's performance has indeed been superior. Their offense has been continuous. Monaco can only passively parry. This is not the way to go!"

The commentator on French national TV was a little anxious for Monaco: "Mr. Houllier, Liverpool didn't have this style before, did they? This is just changing three Spanish players, so they have become so aggressive?"

The former Liverpool coach Houllier appeared on the Anfield stadium broadcast booth. He appeared as a commentator on French national television. What about Liverpool's notoriously dreary monotony?

"Monaco's strength is much different than it was a few months ago. They let go of many main players such as Giuly and Morientes. It is understandable that the strong team will appear stronger against the weaker team!" Houllier tried his best Excuse myself, but now Liverpool are playing really well.

Liverpool's fierce offensive organization made Monaco a little at a loss, and often had to interrupt Liverpool's offensive process with fouls. .

This gave Liverpool a lot of free kicks, and if you walk too much at night, you will eventually encounter ghosts.

In the 22nd minute, Alonso took a free kick in the midfield, Garcia and Gerrard continued to make triangle passes, and the Moroccan players were dizzy.In the end, Garcia made a through pass, and Cisse, who plugged in behind, faced the goalkeeper and pushed the shot calmly, 1-0.

Cisse finally broke the scoring drought, but his compatriots were not happy.

The French TV commentator was dejected: "Liverpool not only looks strong now, they have actually taken the lead. If this trend continues, Monaco will be in danger!"

The BBC commentator Lineker laughed loudly: "Oh, oh, Cisse finally didn't squander the opportunity again. You must know that wasting opportunities on the football field will be punished! Now Benitez can take a break Fortunately, he is still young, otherwise he would not be able to hold on to dancing like this!"

CCAV commentator Huang Jianxiang is of course partial to Liverpool: "Liverpool took the lead in 22 minutes of the first half, and the advantage on the field is quite obvious. Today, Tiancheng will have the opportunity to set another record and become the first Chinese player to play in the Champions League. what..."

Liverpool's celebration ended and the game started again.
