2-1, Liverpool beat leaders Arsenal and now Liverpool has 24 points. They are now third in the league and top of the league are still Arsenal with 26 points. In second place are Manchester United, who also have 26 points but have a small goal difference, and are behind Arsenal.

Although Liverpool are only third in the league, they still have one game to play, so the current situation is very favorable for Liverpool.

However, at this time, Liverpool could not take advantage of the victory. Because Liverpool still have to be involved in the Champions League, they have to think about the next Champions League.

In the twelfth round of the Premier League, Liverpool will challenge Blackburn Rovers away, which is a good opportunity for Liverpudlians to take advantage of the victory. However, they had to pass up that good opportunity as they prepare for the Champions League game in the middle of next week.

Now, after three rounds of Champions League group matches, the Marseille team, which was not seen before the game, is unbeaten with two wins and one draw, and is at the top of the table with seven points. Porto are also unbeaten with one win and two draws, and they are second with five points. Betacis is third with one win, two losses and three points. Liverpool, on the other hand, is one point from one draw and two losses, and is at the bottom of the table.

There are only three rounds left, and Liverpool can't afford to take any of the next games lightly, and Liverpudlian can't afford to lose, not a single one.

Therefore, Benitez had reservations in this weekend's match against Blackburn, with Qiu Ze, Fernanado 61 Torres, Xavi 61 Alonso and others not going away, but staying at Liverpool to prepare for the Champions League next week.

Liverpool played a semi-main game in this game, which gave Blackburn a chance to win, Blackburn put on a defensive counter-attack at home, and their counter-attacks also threatened Liverpool's goal many times, and even almost broke Liverpool's goal on a few occasions.

However, Zuihou did not find the back of the net against Liverpool, and Liverpool did not find the goal against Blackburn, and the two sides ended up in a 0-0 draw.

With a draw in this round, Liverpool lost a good chance to overtake Arsenal. In this round of fixtures, Arsenal drew 2-2 at home to Manchester United, with both sides taking one point each.

After this round of games, Arsenal and Manchester United also have 27 points, and Liverpool and Manchester City also have 25 points, Liverpool was unfortunately squeezed to fourth place, but Liverpool team has one less round, not afraid.

Now the Liverpudlians have to worry about the next Champions League match, where they will face Betaksis, who will take on him at their home turf.

This game is very important for Liverpool, who have already qualified from the same group, but Liverpool, who are seeded, are still struggling to qualify. In this round of fixtures, the Reds will host Turkey's Besiktas, which will be a crucial game to determine whether the last runners-up can qualify, the Reds have only one point from three games, while second-placed Porto have five points, and if they cannot win against their Turkish opponents, Liverpool will only have a theoretical hope of qualifying.

Liverpool have not been so struggling in the Champions League since Rafa Benitez took over, with just one point from three games, meaning the Reds will have to win all three games to pull off a miracle, and this midweek at Anfield against Besiktas is the prelude to Liverpool's 'counter-attacking trilogy'.

The importance of this game is self-evident, and at the same time, Benitez is under a lot of pressure, and even he is a little out of breath.

At the beginning of the season, the American owner invested 70 million pounds to bring Liverpool Torres, Qiu Ze, Babel, Benayoun, Warnonen and other good players, Liverpool also shouted the slogan of surpassing Manchester United for the first time, but the actual situation shocked Liverpool fans, not only they still do not have the same stability as Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea in the league, but also in the Champions League, which Anfield fans have always been proud of, they have also lost their former prestige.

At this time, many Liverpool fans no longer believe in Benitez, they think that Benitez can't control Liverpool at all, and if Benitez stays at Liverpool, then this season's Liverpool is over.

Now there are a lot of Liverpool fans calling for Dalglish, calling for the king of Liverpool, they think that Liverpool can only go to glory under Dalglish, and they want the team to sack Benitez and put Dalglish in the position.

And at this time, there are also a lot of media who have questioned Benitez, claiming that Liverpool to keep Benitez in this position is the stupidest decision they have made this season. This season, Liverpool's squad is not strong, but with such a strong squad, Benitez's results are like this, which is simply unacceptable.

Benitez was a little frustrated by the team's sluggish form: "I'm surprised where we are now, but in a game like the Champions League, if you make mistakes again and again, then you will have such trouble, I will not predict the outcome of this game, I just know that we have to win the game and I have to trust my players. ”

Benitez's rhetoric could not satisfy Liverpool fans, many fans called for Benitez to be sacked, and Liverpool could not let him toss.

During this time, the pressure on Benitez is really high, and it can be seen from Benitez's usual training schedule. Recently, Benitez's training schedule has become more and more intense and demanding, and the slightest mistake by the players will be punished heavily.

The Liverpool players clearly felt the change in the atmosphere in the team, and the Liverpool players certainly understood what the reason was, and at this time, the Liverpool players came out to support Benitez when they were interviewed by media reporters.

The first to support the head coach of the team was Qiu Ze, who said in an interview with media reporters: "I am a player that Mr. Benitez has strongly brought in, and I can feel Benitez's ambition. Moreover, he did a very good job in normal times, and I learned a lot of things from him to make me more perfect. I don't think there's anything wrong with Benitez, he's very good and I'm sure Liverpool will be brilliant under him, and I support him! ”

Then there is Liverpool's captain Gerrard, Gerrard knows Benitez very well, and he doesn't think Liverpool's current results have anything to do with Benitez: "Mr. Benitez's coaching ability is unquestionable, he is one of the most haode tacticians on the planet, this was confirmed back in 2005. I hope that everyone can give Mr Benitez a relaxed environment so that we can go better at Liverpool. ”

Spanish golden boy Fernando 61 Torres also stood up to speak for Benitez: "Mr. Benitez is a very strong manager, his training arrangements are very meticulous and very targeted, before the game we all know exactly what to do after coming on the pitch to be able to win the game better, all this is due to him. I don't think he's supposed to get out of class, he's going to lead Liverpool forward. ”

Due to the lot of rumors about Benitez's dismissal during this time, Liverpool's team president stood up and spoke: "Rafael's ability is obvious to all, and now the team is in some trouble, but I don't think this is the end of Shijie." We still believe in Rafael, we believe that Rafael can do his job well, and we have no doubt about that. At the same time, we have no intention of sacking Rafael, who is a very important member of our team. ”

Here, the chairman of Liverpool also appealed to Liverpool fans: "Please give Rafael a little more time, I am sure that he will repay everyone with more brilliant results." Please give him a little more time, just a little bit! ”

In addition to Liverpool, many Premier League managers have also stood up for Benitez, the biggest names being Manchester United's Alex 61 Ferguson and Arsenal's Arsène 61 Arsene Wenger.

Alex 61 Ferguson, the godfather of the Red Devils, said: "Rafael is a very good coach and I really admire him. I don't think Liverpool is done this season, Rafael has always been able to pull off miracles. Look at it, Raphael will surprise you. ”

Arsène, the godfather of Arsenal, also said: "Rafael's quality is undoubted, he is a master tactician on the planet. He's in a bit of trouble at the moment, but I'm sure they'll be able to solve it. When he solves this problem, then Liverpool will be even more terrifying! ”

And David 61 Moyes, who came from Liverpool's city rival Everton, also stood up to speak for Benitez: "Rafael is really a super manager, this season's league results have proven everything, grandma doesn't think Liverpool is wise to sack Rafael at this time." ”

Being able to get the support of so many people shows the charisma of Benitez's personality. However, at this time, Benitez did not have his tail to the sky, but he was very humble, which made Qiu Ze admire his head even more.

Benitez also thanked these friends for speaking for him, and he felt great satisfaction in his heart. However, this is obviously not the time to be happy, because there is still a fierce battle waiting for him.

At this time, Benitez has been grasping training, training very hard, and Liverpool cannot afford to lose this game, and must be won. Benitez can't afford to be sloppy and Liverpool's players are very serious and they don't want to lose.

Last season, Liverpool reached the final of the Champions League in Zuihou, and this season they have increased their investment and strengthened the team, and they are confident that they can still make it to Zuihou. If the team is eliminated at this time, it will definitely become a daxiao in Shijie football.

Liverpool's players obviously don't want to be part of the joke, they're very serious in training, they're working very hard and they want to be able to do well in the next game and win.

However, it was at this time that trouble befell the Liverpudlians. Two days before the game, Liverpool's main centre-forward, Fernando 61 Torres, the Spanish golden boy, was injured in training. This shocked everyone who cares about Liverpool, and the big battle is about to hurt the general first, which is ominous!
