409. Liverpool
Dalglish didn't show weakness in his mouth at the press conference before the game, "We all know that Crystal Palace are in great form at the moment and it's certainly not easy to play at Selhurst Park, but at the moment we are on the right path and I think we can do something special!" ”
Dalglish is very confident, and his self-confidence is that Liverpool can often burst out with strong fighting power when facing strong teams this season, and Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal are all Liverpool's dead souls this season.
It is precisely because of their outstanding performance against strong teams, but they have repeatedly overturned on weak teams, so that they have won the "reputation" of "hoeing the strong and helping the weak".
However, at the moment they are lacking a core player Gerrard and Suarez, and people do not see a reason for his confidence.
On the evening of the 31st, the game was played at Selhurst Stadium.
Wen Sheng has confidence in the team, but he still doesn't dare to be careless, after all, Liverpool is indeed very good at dealing with strong teams, and the Red Army's mental strength is relatively strong.
In this game he fielded almost all of his main players, with Speroni in goal, Margio Margio, Benatia, McCarthy and Larsson at the back, N'Golo Kante in midfield, Nemanja Matic and Stroman in a back two, De Bruyne in midfield, Mertens and Mkhitaryan on either flank, and Vardy as a single arrow.
On Liverpool's side, the goalkeeper is Reina, the back line is composed of Klein, Agger, Skrtel, Enrique, the midfield is made up of Kuyt, Spearing, Henderson and Downing, and the forward partners are Bellamy and Carroll.
The media deliberately played up Klein's return before the game.
Crystal Palace fans can't talk about how much they resent Klein in the summer, and the fans also have low self-esteem, thinking that Liverpool is a giant, and it is not a big deal for their children to run to Liverpool.
But as Crystal Palace's results are getting better and better, gradually having a championship temperament, ranking first in the league, the mentality of fans is also changing, they feel that Crystal Palace has also become a team comparable to Liverpool, in the past, they felt that Klein was not a betrayal, but now they feel that Klein is a betrayal, and there were a lot of insulting words against Klein on the Internet before the game.
In his pre-match press conference, he defended Klein, saying, "Nathaniel is a good lad, he has his own pursuits, and I don't think it's necessary to think too much about him leaving Crystal Palace!" I don't think the fans should boo him, we should remember what he did for us! ”
Wensheng's defense at the press conference could not offset the fans' grievances, so Klein was booed by the home fans when he played.
To say, Klein has some regrets.
At the beginning, Dalglish made a promise to him, and Liverpool let him get a lot of income, which prompted him to escape from Crystal Palace, but he did not live well in Liverpool, Johnson is a big British football, and Klein's arrival stimulated Johnson's play, as a result, Klein has always been unable to compete with Johnson in the competition for right-back, and is occasionally pushed by Dalglish to play left wing-back.
Sometimes he wonders if he is really inferior to Johnson!
If Johnson hadn't been injured in this game, he would probably not have been able to play the main team.
Seeing that his former teammates continued to kill in all directions, he himself couldn't even compete for the main force, and it was impossible to fall behind in his heart.
Wen Sheng didn't look at Klein's love for Klein in an interview, in fact, since Klein left, Wen Sheng has never contacted Klein, Klein knows very well that his former boss is actually very dissatisfied with him, so he felt very embarrassed when he saw Wen Sheng on the court.
And Wen Sheng remembered Big Boateng when he saw Klein, Big Boateng and Klein are very similar, they both made a little name for themselves in Crystal Palace, they didn't listen to persuasion, and insisted on leaving, what was the result? !
Big Boateng can't stand Ancelotti's weight at Chelsea, nor does he get Boas's weight, this winter window he is considered to be "back to the owner", was loaned to Milan by Galliani, Wensheng can imagine that he will be bald, and he will complete a good deal at the end of this season.
"Alas, the players still have a low level of education, and they are easy to get scared! I don't know how thick the sky is! Wen Sheng couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart.
The liberal and casual way of life abroad has also ruined many talents, who are too sassy to control their desires or understand the sinister nature of the football world.
One move is lost, and the whole game is lost.
In Wen Sheng's exclamation, this major event, which was widely watched by the media, began.
Liverpool against underdogs is completely different from Liverpool against strong teams.
Liverpool's control in the face of the weak team is okay, their style of play is relatively simple, and the combination of side and center, but their ability to grasp opportunities is particularly poor, and they often see thunder and rain and small rains, and then one is not aware of being counterattacked by the weak team, and they lose all the games.
Liverpool's control is completely inadequate against strong teams, often under control, Liverpool are very good at counter-attacking in passive situations, they pass the ball more concisely, and there are excellent attacking players in the front, which poses a great threat to strong teams.
Dalglish doesn't actually want to do this, but he can't help it, since Alonso left, Liverpool's midfield technology content is not as good as a year, the midfield can only rely on Gerrard, and Liverpool can't fight with a strong team, so it can only be done like this.
As Dalglish expected, Liverpool's midfield could not stop Crystal Palace's control at all.
But Liverpool's defense is very good, here I have to mention the traditional cultural spirit of Liverpool's team, tenacity is the label attached to them, otherwise they would not have created so many miracles, Dalglish returned to at least mentally brought a lot of changes to Liverpool.
And the strength of Liverpool's players and defensive players is still quite good, the key to Liverpool's poor results in the past two years is that it is easy to lose balance in attack and defense, and the control of the game is too insufficient.
Crystal Palace have the upper hand on the surface, Dalglish's team is recovering from formation, and the defense is still basically not a big basket.
Liverpool can still play beautiful counter-attacks at times, Carroll seems to be in special shape today, and the fulcrum role in the front field is still good.
Carroll's reputation as a parallel commodity can't be shaken off no matter what, he has played a lot of games in Liverpool this year, but he has not scored many goals, and the efficiency has been so bad that everyone is angry, and Liverpool fans are now counting their fingers every day to calculate when this guy will be sent away.
In the winter window, Liverpool wanted to trade Carroll for Manchester City's Carlos Tevez.
I have to say that Liverpool's idea is very strange, why should it be described as wonderful?!
Because the most important thing that Manchester City lacks is a big center, let's just say that Manchester City's loaned out Adebayo or Santa Cruz is not better than you Carroll?!
As a result, it is conceivable that Liverpool's bizarre idea was rejected by Manchester City, "You have money, but you are not stupid!" ”
A few days ago, when Wen Sheng heard the media rumors about this idea, he knew that it was impossible to realize, and the result was not unexpected, and then Carol stayed like a nobody, since they all stayed, they still had to use it.
Originally, Wen Sheng despised Carroll, but now he sees that Benatia can't take advantage of him at all, and he has formed an offensive opportunity for Liverpool to do the ball several times in the front court.
Everyone attacked and defended each other, and at the end of the first half, the score of the two sides was 0:0.
Wen Sheng was not unacceptable to this score, but after returning to the locker room, he still deliberately stimulated the players, "I told you a long time ago that Liverpool is not easy to deal with, and you still don't believe it!" How is it turning out now?! ”
