Football: The strongest post-zero generation

After the away victory over Watford, the entire Liverpool team immediately returned and began preparations for the fifth round of the Champions League against Lyon on the 27th.

Because in the last round, Li Qing's personal superb performance secured the first place in advance, the next two Champions League games are not that important to Liverpool.

But in everyone's opinion, Liverpool should choose to arrange substitute players to train in these two games, but Klopp did not think so.

Today's Liverpool, although they won almost all championships last season, are spurred by their 67-game unbeaten streak in the league and the league's winning streak in the new season, Klopp has begun to sprint towards another new record.

This new record was also set by an English team, but not Liverpool, but the British powerhouse Manchester United.

During the Ferguson era, Manchester United had many classics in the Champions League, such as reversing Bayern Munich to win the Champions League for the first time at the end of the last century. However, it also has another classic that has been forgotten and ignored, and that is the longest unbeaten record in the Champions League.

In the 2007-08 season, Manchester United won the Champions League with an unbeaten record under the leadership of Ferguson. In the 2008-09 season, they also reached the final undefeated.

Although it was a pity that they did not successfully defend the title and were defeated by Barcelona, ​​which was in full swing at the time, Manchester United set a great record, that is, from the beginning of the 2007 season to being defeated by Barcelona, ​​they were unbeaten in 25 Champions League games.

Last season, because Li Qing missed the first leg of the match against Barcelona, ​​Liverpool's Champions League title was shattered and their winning streak was interrupted by their opponents. Although Liverpool eventually won the championship, Klopp already had an obsession in his heart.

Klopp hopes to lead Liverpool to break all records left by his predecessors during his tenure.

Liverpool are undefeated in the Champions League so far this season, and Li Qing has set a new record for goals scored in a single game in the Champions League. Although Liverpool's personnel are not uniform now, Klopp still wants to give it a try. He thinks about more than just training!

So when Li Qing took the initiative to take out his mysterious potion, Klopp's mind became more active.

Of course, Li Qing was willing to 'contribute' the potion to help the team win the game. He wholeheartedly agreed with this kind of 'sharing'.

As a result, Li Qing and Klopp hit it off, and the club issued a hush-hush order on the matter. Except for Milner and others who were already aware of the matter, Klopp claimed to other players that the team doctor had successfully developed a new drug that enhances physical fitness without side effects. .

Since then, there have been scenes every day at the Melwood training base that are puzzling to fans outside the stadium.

Almost all the main players and substitute players will work extra hard in training, and there will often be some small confrontations within the team.

Players who lose in a confrontation will take a paper cup with a desperate expression on their face, then hold their noses and drink the liquid in the cup.

Whenever he saw this happening, Li Qing would hug his thermos bottle and smile very happily. His teammates were so cute, they thought of how to avoid drinking the medicine so quickly.

Li Qing could not feel whether the 'love potion' was effective, but it could not be denied that the Liverpool players' daily training results under the 'prompt' of the potion made Klopp very satisfied, and during the training process, Klopp was very satisfied. No more injuries.

So without Tong Shenbing's complete knowledge, Li Qing's decoction was basically shared by his teammates.

In this harmonious atmosphere, the fifth round of the Champions League group stage began. The Liverpool team went away to challenge French Ligue 1 powerhouse Lyon.

Similar to the previous round of Premier League games, Klopp made adjustments to the starting lineup in this game.

The goalkeeper is still the main goalkeeper Brazilian Alisson. On the back line, Robertson and Van Dijk continue to start, Lovren and Gomez take turns, and Alexander-Arnold rests in this round of games.

In the midfield, only Wijnaldum continues to start, forming a central axis with deputy captain Milner and new aid Keita.

On the forward line, Salah continues to be injured, and Mane returns to form a frontcourt attacking trident with Firmino and Li Qing.

As for Lyon, former Manchester United player Depay leads the starting lineup. The former Ligue 1 hegemon has had a very difficult time this season.

In the league, they were frequently tied at home by their opponents. They were even defeated at home by Nice with Balotelli, and lost to Paris Saint-Germain with a score of 0:5 away from home.

The Champions League has been even more miserable. After losing the first round against Liverpool, they suffered three consecutive draws and have only accumulated three points so far.

Fortunately, the team has shown some improvement recently. They defeated Guingamp and Saint-Etienne in the league and ushered in two consecutive victories.

Therefore, Lyon, as a strong team in Ligue 1, certainly does not want to stop here in the Champions League, so in this game they are determined to grab points from Liverpool who have already appeared at their home court.

Therefore, the two teams played very stalemate from the beginning of the game. Both teams wanted to win, but neither achieved anything in the first half of the game, and entered the halftime break with a score of zero to zero.

Klopp, who originally thought his team would have an advantage in the first half, got a little angry during the halftime break and walked out of the locker room without saying a word.

"If you lose today's game, when you go back, everyone will practice three times more training, plus three cups of potions."

Hearing Klopp's words, almost all Liverpool players turned green. They originally thought that the head coach did not value today's game, but now it seems that the head coach does not think so.

But Li Qing was struggling, if he was really upset, where could he prepare three cups of potion for the whole team? Do you need to confess to Tong Shen Bing?

The worried Liverpool players suffered a critical blow at the beginning of the second half. Lyon player Corne broke the deadlock in the 54th minute. Lyon led Liverpool 1-0. Lyon's home court instantly became a sea of ​​jubilation.

When Korne scored, all the Liverpool players looked at their head coach on the sidelines.

Klopp looked very calm on the sidelines, but his hand on his arm made a 'three' shape, which suddenly made the Liverpool players feel bad.

So in the next game, the Liverpool players began to counterattack wildly, almost with the energy of the Champions League final, putting pressure on their opponents in the half. For a while, Lyon was a little confused by Liverpool's crazy offensive.

In the 60th minute of the game, Li Qing directly used [Superstar Moment] to equalize the score.

Then Mane and Firmino cooperated in the frontcourt and handed the ball to Li Qing comfortably. When Li Qing broke into the penalty area and was about to shoot, he was dragged down by his opponent. The referee immediately sentenced Lyon to death. Milner scored overnight and took the lead. Got the score.

In the end, Liverpool defeated their opponent 2:1 in the away game. At the end of the game, the players on the field were as happy as children and almost stopped crying. This move suddenly attracted the eyes of countless people in Lyon and endless reverie from the media. …
