'It was a very tough game, my players gave it their all on the pitch, Liverpool and I'm glad we won in the end, but I have to say that Liverpool are a strong opponent and Benitez is a great manager and they all deserve respect!'

Mourinho praised Liverpool in a high-profile manner to reporters after the game, saying that as the winner, he could have treated his enemies with a more lenient attitude, even if he did not look at Benitez so well. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"What about you? Mr. Benitez, what do you think of this game? ”

Bei Fatzi had a bad face, obviously still dissatisfied with the game that had just ended, but in the face of the reporter's inquiry, he didn't get mad on the spot, just smiled.

'My players did their best but we were unlucky, the Red Rebels were a strong opponent and caused us quite a bit of trouble in the game, they were lucky enough to take the two chances and score, while my players wasted too many chances and made a lot of mistakes.

"I have to say that the winter break is a very difficult schedule for any team, we have two games in a row, one win and one defeat, which I expected."

"What do you think of the performances of Hyypia and Traore? They get the lowest score on the spot! ”

Benitez's face sank, and it was clear that he was annoyed by the performances of these two players, but he still endured it.

'I wouldn't judge my players in public, Hyypia and Traore are very good players, all I can say is that every player has some ups and downs, it's normal, the problem is that we don't have the right substitutes, it's not enough to rely on the 17-year-olds, we need players who can take responsibility when it matters most.'

e.g. ......

Benitez shook his head suddenly, "I won't name any player, that's unrealistic, but we are short of people in the forward line and in the backline, it's a fact that everyone knows, and I hope the winter break can change that."

Benitez is obviously using this press conference to take the opportunity to ask the board of directors to buy people, and it is no wonder that Liverpool's forward line and back line are lacking substitutes, only the midfield is the strongest, if the appropriate introduction can be made in the back line and forward, I believe it can greatly improve Liverpool's overall competitiveness.

It is indeed surprising that Liverpool occupy the top spot this season, but their performance is absolutely amazing, Benitez stubbornly poured his football philosophy into Liverpool, and everyone saw that Liverpool's overall strength has definitely improved by leaps and bounds compared to Houllier's time.

And in Benitez's overall tactics, the double back has been determined to be Xavi? Alonso, Sissoko, Gerrard and Hamann rotated, while Gerrard played right midfield, Aimar played midfield, and Owen was Liverpool's most consistent scorer, playing both forward and left midfield, once Owen played as a striker, the left wingback was Luis? Garcia.

The tactical combination of the entire midfield has been run-in, Luiz? Garcia may not be able to show what he did in Spain, but he still has the quality to attack on the left, with Steven Gerrard on the right being an impressive impact and an Aimar who can hold the ball.

Benitez's only hidden danger at the moment is the backline, as well as the substitutes.

While the Red Rebels hoarded Nemanja Vidic, John Terry and Curtis, Europe's leading centre-backs, in central defenders in order to cope with the multi-front, Liverpool had to rely on the aging Hyypia, and the substitutes were all 17-year-old Roque and others, which made Benitez keep calling for the team to bring in suitable centre-backs and wing-backs as early as the summer.

There is no doubt that even Mourinho has to admire Benitez's tactical prowess, he is definitely the premier master tactician in football today, and despite his stubbornness, despite his domineering, he has really brought about a sea change for Liverpool.

This year is arguably Liverpool's most promising season in the last 15 years, so the board is very supportive of Benitez. One of the first things Morgan did when he took over was to bring the players Benitez needed.

Maybe a defeat is not a good thing for Liverpool.

In many cases, it is only through failure that we can become stronger and more mature!

…………………… The English media clearly held the Red Rebels hostel Liverpool in high esteem and were reluctant to even admit that there was a winner, with the Guardian's front-page headline being interesting.

The greatness of victory, the glory of losing!

The Times, on the other hand, believes that this is a game without losers!

Both Liverpool and the Red Rebels have shown shocking strength and fighting spirit in this game, especially the Red Rebels, after a hellish ordeal and a cruel devil's schedule, in the face of the powerful Liverpool, the Red Rebels overcame the difficulties of the away battle, and won 0:2 against Liverpool in a very unfavorable situation.

"As Andy? As Gray said at half-time, the cold statistics often do not show the reality of the frenzy that is happening on the pitch, just as the 0-2 score does not reflect the dominance of Liverpool in this game, nor does it reflect the tenacity of the Red Rebels. ”

"In the whole game, the Red Rebels were at a disadvantage in all statistics, and Liverpool was comprehensively superior, but the final result was 0:2, Liverpool lost a game, but won the hearts of the fans!"

After the game, Liverpool's Anfield Stadium sang the team song "Never Walk Alone", and the uplifting melody infected everyone at the scene, and many fans cried bitterly, but they were satisfied.

"Many Liverpool fans ended the random media interview after the game, they all shouted Liverpool's slogan, they think that the exciting Red Army has finally returned, although in this game, Liverpool lost by 3 points, but they have won back their temperament, won back their will, won back their tradition!"

"The Red Rebels are outstanding, the best team in Europe today, no one dares to underestimate it, some say that when the Red Rebels are at their peak, they can show a better technical and tactical level and individual ability than their opponents, and when the Red Rebels are at their lowest, they will defeat their opponents with impressive tenacity!"

"It's like their tactical philosophy, which is to have effective possession when they have the ball and control space when they don't have the ball, they can switch between the two football concepts and play the football that belongs to the Red Rebels at any time!"

The European media's admiration for the Red Rebels is not only this, but also for Mikel, Michael? Younger generations such as Johnson and Walcott expressed their appreciation.

"When Benitez was worried about the replacement for the aging Hyypia, when Liverpool were still afraid to replace Hyypia because the 17-year-old Roque could not take on the heavy responsibility, Mourinho was very decisive in using John? Obi? Mikel replaced the exhausted Arjen Robben and in the second half, the Niglia built a steel wall in front of the backline. ”

"While Benitez was worried about Owen's injury, we saw the Red Rebels' 18-year-old Ismail? Miller has quietly threatened the status of Didier Drogba and Villa, with the youngster having scored six league goals this season and the 16-year-old Walcott making a name for himself this season. ”

"When Benitez was thinking about the substitutions for Aimar and Alonso, we saw that although he was the same age as the Liverpool Academy players, the 17-year-old Aguero and the 17-year-old Michael? Johnson and the 18-year-old Cesc Fabregas already have a lot of experience in the Premier League and even Europe than their peers, which is especially valuable for the development of young players. ”

"Rafael Benitez complained that Liverpool's academy youngsters were struggling to take on big responsibilities, but the Red Rebels made it to the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup with a group of 17-year-olds, and the Red Rebels won the FA Cup last year.

It can be said that the thickness of the bench determines a club's long-term combat ability, Chelsea advocates a large number of reinforcements, the introduction of a group of strong substitutes, to strengthen the team's combat ability, Manchester United is dependent on the previous academy O'Shea and others, in addition to buying a lot of powerful players, such as Quaresma.

Arsenal used to buy stars, but the club is currently struggling to operate and has moved to the academy; Manchester City have also started a Chelsea-style hoarding of stars; The Red Rebels relied on the youth academy, and only Liverpool, in the case of the youth academy failed to produce better players, did not bring in external reinforcements, and the bench thickness was relatively weak.

"At present, football clubs throughout Europe and even the world are staring at the youth academy of the Red Rebels, and they have poached a lot of players from it, but we should see that those rising stars who left the Red Rebels have really played a few, does this mean that the skills of cultivating stars are very important, but the environment for cultivating stars is more important?"

"At a time when the Red Rebels youth system is being admired and emulated across England, it's important to reflect on its deep roots, which is to give young players as much trust and support as possible!"

I have to say that even Xiao Yu feels that the significance of this game is exaggerated, but this is the media!

…………………… The Red Rebels defeated Liverpool and completely ended Liverpool's unbeaten record this season, which made Liverpool finally top the league with 17 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss with 23 points, which is also the most exciting statistic for Liverpool fans.

However, Liverpool's joy did not last long, as the defeat and Chelsea won again, narrowing the gap to two points, with the Blues sitting second in the league table behind Liverpool with 51 points, and Carlo Ancelotti said that Chelsea would be more consistent and better in the second half of the season, reversing Liverpool to win the title.

You know, from the beginning of this season, Liverpool has shown a strong momentum, occupying the top of the league table and never falling back, but I believe that with this defeat, Liverpool will encounter more difficult obstacles.

The Red Rebels once again opened up the gap between 4th and 5th place, and are currently in 3rd place in the league with 15 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, 3 points more than Manchester United in 4th place in the league and 4 points more than Manchester City in 5th place in the league.

The team currently ranked 6th in the league is somewhat surprising, it is the bloody De Roisden, Pellegrini's team is also very young, but it has shown a lot of fighting ability, especially the South American style of play they showed in the game, which has caused a wave in the Premier League and is appreciated by many professionals.

Whether it is against Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United or the Red Rebels this season, De Roysden has not been at a comprehensive disadvantage, and they have also caused a lot of problems for these big teams, which is also respected by countless experts, and Pellegrini has also become a famous manager in Europe today with his excellent coaching at De Roysden.

It is believed that if De Roysden can continue to maintain the advantage of the first half of the season in the second half of the season, they will have a good chance of qualifying for the European competition.

If Droysden's performances were impressive, Arsenal were a bit disappointing.

Arsenal's midfield is weak without Vieira, Gilberto? Silva is good but tired, Flamini is still young and needs to work, which makes Arsenal almost completely reduced to Henry's one-man team, once Henry performs well, Arsenal have a chance to win, but once Henry is frozen, Arsenal will completely stop.

Arsenal ranked 7th in the first half, the points are not as good as De Roysden, Wenger's new introduction of Nasri and Rosicky still need to adapt, coupled with the lack of hard midfield, so that Arsenal almost lost all the strong conversations in the first half, coupled with the lack of consistency in the results, so that Arsenal did not achieve good results in the end.

In addition, from the first half, West Ham United performed well, and De Roysden is called the two dark horses of this season, the Hammers are ranked 8th in the league after Arsenal, and even beat Tottenham, Blackburn, Newcastle and other traditional powerhouses.

It is said that West Ham United is currently in acquisition negotiations, the American Iranian billionaire Horabchin and the Icelandic billionaire Magnusson are both very interested in the Hammers, the former has also completed the acquisition of the Brazilian Corinthians club, and brought Tevez to Brazil, and now he intends to repeat the old plan, he hopes to bring Tevez to West Ham United as a deposit for his acquisition of the Hammers.

In addition to West Ham United, Portsmouth, Aston Villa and many other clubs are also caught in the vortex of takeovers, which are currently closely watched by the FA and the Premier League, and it is important to require that the takeovers be made in accordance with the latest regulations of the Premier League and the FA before they are allowed, otherwise the takeover will be blocked.

Due to the emergence of Xiao Yu, the FA and the Premier League pay more attention to protecting the club than in the previous life!
