Chapter 604 The situation after winning streak

Bournemouth, trailing by three goals, could no longer organize an effective attack, and its own defense also made frequent mistakes. The head coaches of both sides began to change.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Burnsley has given up on the rest of the game, and the remaining time has become garbage time.

When Klopp replaced Li Qing with Lallana, the Liverpool fans on the court responded with warm applause, although the applause seemed a bit small at their home court.

Seeing Li Qing go off the field, Bournemouth's players finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Liverpool's biggest threat was no longer there. When they had a chance to score a face-saving goal, Liverpool's players gave them a good hand. a lesson.

In the 80th minute of the game, Lallana passed a long ball. Bournemouth's captain Cook made a tackle error and sent the ball directly to Shaqiri.

After Shaqiri got the ball, he directly shook away the attacking Begovic, and finally stabbed the ball into the net from the edge of the small penalty area. The score became 0:4. Bournemouth was 4 goals behind the opponent at home.

The Bournemouth fans in the stands were desperate. There were less than ten minutes left in the game, and the next game was already too difficult to save. Therefore, many fans chose to leave the game early. Watching any more would only add to their worries.

The Bournemouth fans made the right choice this time, because until the end of injury time, the situation at Bournemouth was still ugly, and Begovic even became the busiest player on the field for a time.

In the end, Liverpool 4:0 Bournemouth. They only allowed Bournemouth, who was playing at home, only eight shots in the whole game, of which only two shots were in the goal frame and none of them scored.

Liverpool had sixteen shots in the game, six of which hit the door frame and scored four goals, completely crushing their opponents in this regard.

With the victory, Liverpool ended their away trip perfectly. Next, they will return home to face Hoffenheim, their opponent in the final round of the Champions League group, and then the double-red club battle with the Red Devils Manchester United.

Prior to this, Ligue 1 had ended its sixteenth round. Paris Saint-Germain suffered an upset loss to Strasbourg in an away game. The league suffered a second consecutive draw. The unbeaten record in the league this season continues.

However, because Paris Saint-Germain will participate in the Champions League and French League Cup, the seventeenth and eighteenth rounds of the league will be rescheduled to February and March next year, and the following league games of Paris Saint-Germain will only be on the 23rd. Home game against Nantes.

Therefore, the competition between Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool's unbeaten record in the league this season, when will the winner be determined, can only be determined in 2019.

In addition, in this round of the Premier League, except for Liverpool who defeated their opponents away from home, Tottenham, who did not have Kane in the starting lineup, defeated the "Blue Fox" Leicester City at home through Son Heung-min and Alli's goals in the first and second half. .

Arsenal was at home and defeated the challenging Huddersfield team 1:0. Torreira made the final decision at the last moment of the game. Ozil still did not appear in the team's roster for this game.

Liverpool's opponent, Manchester United, in the next round of the league, sat at Old Trafford Stadium and used a 4:1 goal battle to end the embarrassment of four league rounds without a win.

Ashley Young, Mata, Lukaku and Rashford each contributed to Manchester United, while Fulham pulled a goal back from Ramallah in the second half to save some face.

In another focus game of this round, Chelsea successfully blocked the Blue Moon at their home court. Guardiola's Manchester City faced Sarri's Blues, and even though the outside world was not optimistic about Chelsea, they won 0:2 away from home. Lost to Chelsea.

This is Guardiola's second defeat this season. The first defeat was against Liverpool with Li Qing. The sudden rise of the Blues has warned many professionals that in football, many times, it is not just based on superficial strength. The one who can judge everything.

But it is worth mentioning that Manchester City had already had some problems before this game. Aguero was absent from the game and Jesus was in poor form recently. .

Guardiola had no choice but to use a strikerless formation, and also took the initiative to abandon the strategy of rotating one person in the midfield that he had insisted on for many consecutive games. Under the pressure of double matches in a week, Bernardo Silva, David Silva and Fernandinho remains on the field.

However, the Manchester City players, who were obviously tired and did not get enough rest time. They were playing away games and were obviously not used to the intensity of this game.

Bernardo Silva's activity in the frontcourt has obviously declined, Fernando Rio also couldn't run a little in the second half, and David Silva even suffered an injury. This is all due to the loss to Chelsea. One of the many reasons.

However, when Manchester City lost, the happiest team was of course Liverpool, because after this round, the point difference between Manchester City and Liverpool reached double digits.

Although there are still more than twenty rounds of games this season, based on past historical data, if Manchester City wants to counterattack and win the championship this season, it is simply impossible unless Liverpool suffers an air crash like the one in the last century.

And how could Liverpool, which already holds a double-digit advantage in points, be content with just winning consecutive Premier League titles?

Before the away games against Burnley and Bournemouth, outside media had questioned Liverpool's recent games, believing that today's Premier League lacks pressure and competition for Liverpool.

Because judging from the situation of the Premier League in recent years, it is easy for Liverpool to win domestic championships such as the league championship. Under such circumstances, who of the Liverpool players will continue to actively strengthen themselves in training? What about the ability?

Therefore, it is obviously not enough to have consecutive Premier League titles. Liverpool's goal must be placed on international competitions such as the Champions League.

Although Liverpool won the Champions League last year, there is no record of consecutive championships in Liverpool's history, and no team has achieved three consecutive championships in the reformed Champions League.

Therefore, when a team reaches an almost invincible state in the domestic league, goes out of the league, competes with strong teams in other leagues, and wins the final victory, it becomes Liverpool's new goal. Winning the UEFA Champions League consecutively is another goal for Liverpool this season. Target!

Otherwise, how could the team spend so much money to buy so many top-level stars this season?

Especially goalkeeper Alisson, who joined Liverpool with a worth of more than 70 million euros. For this reason, he also broke the world football goalkeeper transfer fee record.

There are so many goals and records to break. Faced with the situation of a battalion full of injured soldiers, Klopp can only make choices in certain aspects. After all, compared with some false reputations, what the club cares about should be his most important thing at the moment. Need to pay attention to.
