Chapter 730
When Yang Yang drove to Melwood, he could easily feel the change in the atmosphere.
The most obvious thing is the security at the gate. When they beat Manchester United [-]-[-], they were all grinning from ear to ear, but now they are all bitter, like bitter melons.
This is not surprising at all, because the whole world is not optimistic about Liverpool.
In the history of the knockout rounds of the Champions League, one can only hope for a miracle if the game can be reversed from one to three at home.
What's more, Liverpool was originally ambitious and wanted to hit the championship, but they were suddenly beaten by Chelsea at home in the quarter-finals. Anyone who changed would find it unacceptable.
But you can also think about it the other way around. It is precisely because Chelsea, who have been invincible this season, has made Liverpool careless.
The leaders of the Premier League have to be cautious when they meet the vice-president, let alone in the knockout round of the Champions League quarter-finals?
Yang Yang didn't say much, he parked his car as usual, changed his clothes in the locker room, and went straight to the gym.
……
As the players arrived one after another, Melwood gradually became lively.
But judging from the expressions on everyone's faces, they are not very interested, and they all seem to be a little bit depressed.
The one-to-three loss to Chelsea was indeed a painful blow to Liverpool.
Everyone came to the locker room, and the topic of discussion was nothing more than the comments and analysis of the major media early this morning.
The players were very dissatisfied with the one-to-three game last night. They thought that if they played another game for Liverpool, they would definitely not be so embarrassing, and it would even be impossible for Chelsea to steal a victory at home.
We can only hope for a miracle!
Since the reform of the Champions League, no team has ever been able to win the championship after losing at home in the knockout stage.
It is precisely because they understand this that the Liverpool players are more depressed and regretful.
Even team captain Steven Gerrard fell into deep remorse and guilt because he failed to defend the second goal and vice-captain Carragher failed to defend Drogba's third goal.
So much so that when Yang Yang finished his training from the gym and returned to the locker room, he found that everyone was still sitting here, and there was a sense of self-pity and melancholy in the air.
When everyone saw Yang Yang coming in, they just raised their heads to look at him, and then lowered their heads deeply.
If anyone in the Liverpool team could leave the pitch with their heads held high in the one-to-three match last night, it must be Yang Yang, because he opened the scoring for Liverpool in the first 6 minutes and made a good start.
Afterwards, he tried again and again to break free from Chelsea's defense, but because the team was equalized first and then reversed, the morale of the team was blown out, causing Yang Yang to be alone and unable to make a difference in the end.
But even so, Yang Yang still got the team's highest eight points.
According to the Liverpool Echo, this time it was the whole team that held Yang Yang back.
Under such circumstances, when the players saw Yang Yang, they couldn't help feeling guilty.
……
Yang Yang came to the locker room to pack his things, everything was the same as usual.
But he also felt the strangeness of other players, and he could more or less understand what they were thinking at this moment.
After a long time, he finally couldn't help but speak.
"If you welcome this weekend's league match and next week's second round with this mental state, then we don't have to play, and we will definitely lose, and we will lose badly." Yang Yang said with a sullen face.
After hearing this, everyone in the locker room couldn't help raising their heads and looking at him.
"A one-to-three match at home is really miserable, and the game was bad, and it shouldn't be, but that's all in the past. The most important thing for us now is to consider this weekend's league game and the second round next week."
Yang Yang's speech was neither fast nor slow, and his tone was moderate, as if he was not trying to persuade his teammates, but was talking about a very common thing.
This is a perfectly normal truth!
"How many times have we come back this season? What nicknames have we been given?"
Without waiting for his teammates to answer, Yang Yang said it himself, "European reversal king!"
When everyone heard this, they all nodded in unison, which is indeed the case.
Liverpool has reversed opponents many times this season. The outside media has given the nickname of the European reversal king. This is recognized by the media and fans all over the world. Liverpool is a well-known iron-blooded team in Europe.
"Anyway, I absolutely don't believe that a score of [-]-[-] will be an insurmountable moat. I also absolutely don't believe that if we can beat Manchester United [-]-[-] in an away game, we won't be able to score three goals against Chelsea in an away game, because Chelsea are no better than Manchester United. This is a fact Hiddink cannot change."
In the locker room, more and more people nodded in agreement with Yang Yang's words.
"Also, we are Liverpool. I believe you have not forgotten that when we were in Istanbul in [-], we were three goals behind AC Milan in the Champions League final. We were able to tie the score and beat our opponent in the final penalty shootout."
"Before Istanbul, who in the world would believe that this kind of plot only exists in fictional novels? But after Istanbul, this miracle will be remembered and missed by countless fans so far and even forever."
"In the same way, the outside media are now saying that for more than ten years, the losing team in the Champions League knockout rounds has not been able to win the championship. It is just that they have not been able to win the championship in the past ten years. But why should we conclude that we will not be able to win this year?"
Everyone in the locker room was lost in thought, thinking about Yang Yang's words.
"Before Istanbul, it was absolutely impossible for anyone to believe that the Champions League final could be tied and reversed after being three goals behind, but we did it; before this season, they did not believe that the team that lost at home in the Champions League knockout round could still win the championship. I believe we can do the same."
In today's Liverpool dressing room, there are not many players who experienced the miracle in Istanbul.
Gerrard, Harvey Alonso, Carragher and Hyypia, these are the only remaining four veterans of Liverpool, so their feelings are naturally deeper than others.
At that time, when they trailed AC Milan [-]-[-] in the first half, everyone also felt deeply hopeless.
At that time, Liverpool was very weak, much weaker than the Serie A giants, but everyone was suffocating an unwillingness to admit defeat, so they stubbornly withstood the pressure in the second half and reversed their opponents.
If during the halftime break, they had completely collapsed and given up their resistance completely, as the commentator said, then there would be no reversal in the second half.
"I think what Yang Yang said makes sense." Veteran Hypia stood up from his seat.
In the past two years, with the successive joining of Daniel Agger and Skrtel, Hyypia has gradually lost his position in the team, but he still chooses to stay in the team because he has deep feelings for this team.
He didn't play in the match against Chelsea, but he contributed to the miracle in Istanbul that year. He is qualified to stand up and speak out in the locker room at this time.
"We can even create a miracle like Istanbul. I don't think it is impossible to reverse Chelsea in an away game. Isn't it the Blues? We have done less with them in the past few seasons?"
Hypia spoke very domineeringly, even a little arrogantly, but he was very powerful and boosted morale.
"It's nonsense to say that the loser in the knockout round can't win the championship. This thing is used to break it. When a team creates such an impossibility, everyone's talk will turn around. Does the media still have morals these days?"
"So, I think, if you lose [-]-[-], you lose. There is no need to think too much. Just concentrate on playing well in the second round and beat them [-]-[-]. Then we will advance to the final and fight for the championship!"
Hyypia spoke eloquently, and the players in the locker room were also encouraged.
If there was no precedent for the miracle in Istanbul, perhaps the effect would not be so obvious, but now, everyone believes that this is a team that can create miracles.
"I support Yang Yang and Hypia's statement. As the person responsible for the one-to-three loss, I feel guilty for this, but I will work hard for the next game to ensure that I will never repeat the previous stupidity!" Gerrard also stood up and shouted.
"Me too!" Carragher also stood up, "If I meet Drogba again, I will never let him be so easy."
"I have the confidence to reverse the away game!" Harvey Alonso also stood up, looked deeply at Yang Yang, and said confidently.
Several veterans who experienced the miracle in Istanbul stepped forward one after another to boost the morale of the team, and other people in the locker room were naturally deeply infected.
It is indeed a shame to lose to Chelsea one to three.
But there is a saying that is true, know your shame and be brave!
Now Liverpool has no arrogance when they beat Manchester United [-]-[-] away and beat Aston Villa [-]-[-]. What has been added is the determination of the underdogs to win and the courage to wash away their shame.
Yang Yang saw his teammates standing up one after another, so he also walked over.
"Believe me, Chelsea is not terrible. We are not unfamiliar with this team. We are absolutely capable of killing them away, but the premise is that all of us must work together and must show [-]% courage, determination and fighting spirit."
When Yang Yang said this, he stretched out his right hand vigorously.
"Three days later we beat Blackburn and we beat Chelsea away in the middle of next week!"
"We not only want to reverse, we also want to enter the final, we want to win the championship, and let those who think we are impossible, know us again!"
"Okay!" Gerald shouted vigorously, putting his hand on the back of Yang Yang's hand.
Hyypia, Xabi Alonso, Carragher, Dirk, Crouch...
More and more Liverpool players gathered around, stretched out their hands, and overlapped each other.
It showed the solidarity and determination of the Liverpool dressing room.
……
But outside, news about Liverpool's end is still flying all over the sky.
