Chapter 282 Strong rebound

The end of the international match days in November means that the 2017 international match days are all over. All 32 teams, including the host, for the 2018 Russia World Cup have been decided, and the World Cup group stage draw ceremony is scheduled for the 1st of next month. The venue is the Moscow Kremlin Concert Hall.

Li Qing can't control so much about things like drawing lots. That's FIFA's business. After the international match day, all his thoughts are focused on the upcoming devilish schedule.

14 games in 43 days!

If the Champions League fails to qualify early, then 14 games in 43 days will definitely wear down Liverpool, whose bench is not particularly deep.

Liverpool still have four games left in November, namely a home game against Southampton in the league, an away game against Qarabag in the Champions League, a home game against Chelsea in the league, and a away game against Stoke City in the league.

Judging from the overall strength of the team, it will be a bit difficult to face Chelsea at home.

Of course, Klopp will not underestimate any opponent.

In the home game against Southampton, the main force was used. With Li Qing's two shots and one pass, Liverpool defeated Southampton 3:0 at home.

Since Liverpool has already topped the group in the Champions League group stage, there is no need to divert attention in the Champions League. Li Qing, Mane, Wijnaldum and Van Dijk who participated in the international match days did not even go to Azerbaijan. After all, they The next weekend's league game is to face Chelsea at home, who are trying to rebound strongly.

Chelsea's performance at the beginning of this season was affected by the contradiction between the coach and the team's state was in a sluggish state. However, Chelsea has recently shown signs of rebound. Since losing to Crystal Palace 1:2 as a guest, it has won four consecutive victories, including a 1:0 victory over Manchester United. victory.

Facing such a difficult and strong team, Klopp must be careful to deal with it.

Although Liverpool faced half of the main lineup, they still defeated Qarabach with a score of 2:0 and won their fifth consecutive victory in the Champions League group.

Liverpool dominated Group C and ranked first in the group with 15 points. Atletico Madrid defeated Roma at home, but whether they can qualify depends on the last round because they unexpectedly drew in back-to-back group matches in the third and fourth rounds. Karabakh, which led to the defeat of Roma, was only able to reverse the ranking and lead by two points.

According to the same rules for the Champions League group stage points, the side with a better record will qualify. That means Atletico Madrid, which is two points ahead of Roma, only needs to score one point in the final round to ensure qualifying from the group.

But the question is whether Atletico Madrid can draw with Liverpool at Anfield!

Roma faced Karabakh at home in the last round. One was fighting to qualify for the Champions League, and the other was competing for a spot in the Europa League. However, the gap in strength between them was obvious. It would be a bit difficult for Karabakh to defeat Roma at the Olympic Stadium in Rome.

Therefore, the Spanish media believes that Atletico Madrid must visit Liverpool in the last round, and even if they cannot win, they will draw.

The fifth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 2017-2018 season has come to an end. The qualifying spots for each group have basically been settled, but the top 16 will still have to wait until the end of the sixth round.

The entire Liverpool team has already focused its attention at home, preparing for the red-blue battle against Chelsea at home.

At the beginning of this season, the two teams had a direct confrontation in the Community Shield. After 90 minutes of fierce battle, Liverpool finally defeated Chelsea 4:1 with Li Qing's 3 goals and 1 assist. Therefore, Liverpool fans are full of confidence and believe that they support In all likelihood, our team will beat visiting Chelsea at Anfield.

Chelsea, which has won four consecutive victories, rebounded strongly. Head coach Conte said in an interview with the media that his team will definitely take away a victory at Anfield!

Faced with Conte's remarks that he must win, Liverpool head coach Klopp did not say anything. He just said lightly at the regular press conference before the game: "The results of the game are there. Anyone can make harsh remarks before the game. We disdain it." Don't do that, because only the scared weak will rush to declare victory before the game begins."

Klopp didn't name anyone, but anyone with a little bit of thinking ability could tell that this was tit-for-tat.

Li Qing and Hazard are currently the best players in Liverpool and Chelsea. They have naturally become the comparison targets of the media and fans before the game. Li Qing's statistics in all aspects are crushing, very useful, and he is even a little excited.

Hazard, who has been famous for a long time, is very unhappy, but he has nothing to do. He may be slapped in the face if he talks a lot, and if he doesn't talk, he will be called a coward by the media.

It's so hard for me!

Hazard did not make any response until the day of the game. However, Diego Costa, who had been hidden, posted harsh words on INS: "In the red-blue battle, without me, we will lose!"

Chelsea fans were very dissatisfied with Diego Costa's remarks and began to curse. At this time, Liverpool fans all felt that the beautiful Diego Costa was very cute, and they unanimously sent likes and compliments.

Liverpool's home game against Chelsea was held in the middle of the 13th round of the league. However, in order to ensure the pure attention of this game, no Premier League game kicked off at the same time.

At 4:30 pm local time in Great Britain, one hour before the start of the game, Anfield Stadium is already packed, and the loud singing of "You'll Never Walk Alone" surrounds the entire stadium.

The Liverpool players who entered the field to warm up felt a surge of blood, high morale, and couldn't wait for the game to start immediately.

Chelsea was affected by the conflict between their coaches at the beginning of this season, and their results were much worse than in previous years. However, after a period of recovery, they have returned to fourth place, only one point away from third-place Manchester United.

Maybe beating Liverpool won't move them up the rankings, but what is certain is that Chelsea's achievements this season will not be low!

At this time, Chelsea head coach Conte got Liverpool's starting lineup, goalkeeper Mignolet, defenders Robertson, Van Dijk, Matip and Alexander-Arnold, midfielders Milner, Wijnaldum and Henderson, forwards Mane, Firmino and Li Qing.

This starting lineup is not much different from what he expected before the game, so it only needs to be adjusted accordingly for individual players.

Liverpool head coach Klopp also held Chelsea's starting lineup. Looking at the starting lineup that was almost exactly the same as he expected before the game, he was basically sure that this game could be won.

Except for Morata and Hazard in the frontcourt, who are purely offensive players, the five players in the midfield are all offensive and defensive players.

Tiemoue Bakayoko and Kante are purely defensive players. Derek Watt has not been able to find the winning form he had in Leicester City when he joined Chelsea. It is difficult to activate Chelsea's offense. It is equivalent to saying that Conte's victory before the game was a smokescreen. Winning an away draw is what he really wants!

Want to get ahead at Anfield?

Let’s see if Li Tong agrees!
