    Although Chen Yu joined Liverpool, he has never set foot on Liverpool soil. He is far away from the center of world football and recuperates in the United States where there is no football atmosphere. However, this has no impact on Liverpool's preparations for the new season. Beni  Tes had no idea of ??attacking Chen Yu in the first half. Benitez, who was a player, knew very well how long it would take for Chen Yu to recover from an injury like this. It can be said that there is no more than half a year. Letting Chen Yu play one day early would be equivalent to letting Chen Yu play for one day.  Chen Yu is more in danger of recurrence.  Benitez has been in Liverpool for so many years and has enough prestige. He is not so eager to achieve good results. He has enough patience for Chen Yu.  But patience is patience. If you want to win the championship, you must not be left too behind by your competitors at the beginning of the game. With Manchester United's sophistication, Chelsea's composure, and Arsenal's passion, if you are left too behind by them, what will happen next will be terrible.  It would be difficult to handle. Even if Chen Yu fully recovered, he would not be able to reverse the situation of the battle.  Liverpool conceded several goals in the league last season, only 3 more than Chelsea. Their defense was impregnable, but they scored only 57 goals in total, ranking last among the top four.  The main forward Crouch only scored U-goals, Morientes 5 goals, Cisse 9 goals, and Fowler U-goals. They lacked a main shooter with a high scoring rate.  Therefore, this summer, Liverpool carried out a major overhaul of the forward line. Morientes and Cisse left one after another, and bought Chen Yu for 30UU million, but because Chen Yu was basically unable to participate in the first half, his status in the second half was not known.  So Benitez still made two preparations, buying Dutch model Kuyt for 100,000 pounds, and buying Welsh horse Bellamy for 100,000 pounds.  Last season at Blackburn, Bellamy scored 13 league goals, including the second start, and his efficiency was acceptable.  Kuyt's scoring rate in the Dutch League is extremely high, scoring 71 goals in 10 Dutch League games, including 10 goals last season.  If the two "transplant" last season's goal rate to Liverpool, it will greatly increase the Red Army's chances of winning the championship. However, this is definitely a luxury. The Netherlands can only rank sixth or seventh in the European League. Tactical cultivation and intensity  Far smaller than the Premier League, and Kuyt is not a talented player. Liverpool would be satisfied if he could score half as many goals as he did in the Netherlands. However, Bellamy is very cost-effective and his speed is very fast, which is very suitable for Liverpool's impact.  style of play and defensive counterattack tactics.  ??Aside from the major surgery on the front line, the transfer purpose of Liverpool's midfield and backfield is similar to last year: to maintain the team's central axis and make marginal repairs based on this.  Traore, Sheyrou, Barragan and Hamann left, Pennant, Mark Gonzalez and Pallet were bought at low prices, and Aurelio was introduced for free. These three players have certain qualities.  The strength supplements Liverpool's wings and increases the thickness of the central defender's bench.  Although Liverpool's signings are not big except for Chen Yu, Liverpool's stability has been maintained and its strength has steadily improved. Even if it cannot make up the gap with Chelsea and Manchester United, it will not be left too far behind.  Even if Chen Yu cannot play for a season, Liverpool is still sure to get a Champions League spot.  The winning odds offered by European bookmakers for Liverpool also indirectly affirmed Liverpool¡¯s signings this season. The winning odds offered by William Hill for Liverpool were 1, second only to Chelsea and the same as Manchester United. Although Ladbrokes only  Liverpool was given odds of 1 to 5, but it was second only to Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal.  However, strength on paper can never be called strength. In the first warm-up match after Liverpool¡¯s training camp, they lost by 3 against the Bundesliga Red Devils Kaiserslautern. The Bundesliga has always been difficult to play. A wealthy team like Liverpool and the national team  There were many players, and most of them participated in the World Cup in the summer, so after the loss, the media did not make too many accusations. However, in the next game against Grasshoppers in Zurich, Switzerland, Liverpool lost 0 again, and they lost without temper.  , this made the media and fans begin to feel uneasy. Reporters said that Liverpool's stars were still on vacation, while fans bluntly said that Liverpool's players were not working hard.  Benitez was obviously dissatisfied with these two games, but he still came forward to protect the players, saying that these two games were just to find their condition, and the players were mainly not injured, and they would perform better in the subsequent warm-up matches.  Liverpool obviously paid a lot of attention to the game against Germany's Mainz on August 5. Although the warm-up match is not important, losing too much will affect morale. Liverpool is determined to have a warm-up match against Mainz.  However, Liverpool still underestimated this small team, which was promoted to the Bundesliga for the first time until the 2004UU5 season and ranked No. 1 last season. This team, mainly composed of players from the youth training, plays aggressively, fights fiercely, and has excellent running ability.  , their full-court press made Liverpool, who had not yet returned to its best form, dizzy. They conceded three goals in a row within the first five minutes, and ultimately suffered a humiliating defeat to Mainz in 05.  , This is a score that no one expected. Even though it was just a warm-up match, Liverpool's loss was still jaw-dropping. After all, the opponent was only the mediocre Mainz team.  After the game, Liverpool coach Benitez said that the defeat did not worry him.  "This is just a warm-up before the season. Obviously we made a lot of mistakes and gave them a lot of goals, but it is not a formal game We have three warm-up games."We have made mistakes, which is a bit abnormal. It is rare for Liverpool to concede so many goals, but I am not worried. We know that we need to improve something and we will work hard to improve it. When the Champions League qualifying starts, we  It will become new and stronger.  "Benitez's pale consolation could not extinguish the anger of Liverpool fans. Instead, it aroused the fans' long-standing anger. There were already two to three hundred Liverpool fans booing the players at the scene. In the city of Liverpool, even more  Thousands of fans took to the streets to appeal that such a performance was not worthy of the name Liverpool. The media in England have always liked to hype. Liverpool's warm-up defeat was wildly criticized by all media, including Bellamy and others who missed the opportunity.  Crouch, Rise and Carragher who made mistakes and gave great gifts, and even team spirit Gerrard were considered by reporters to be a game with a decline in historical status. In such a storm of criticism, Benitez is not immune to reporters.  He believes that his formation is the main reason for the disastrous defeat. He has lost two games in a row before. In five days, there will be the Champions League qualifying match. In eight days, he will play the Community Shield with Chelsea. However, Benitez is still experimenting with the lineup and the starting lineup.  They were all newcomers. Under the crazy attack of the opponents, the cooperation between the old and new players was not tacit, and they lost three goals in a row. Later, even if they changed 8 players in a row, they could not save the defeat. And if Benitez sent the old man first to stabilize  After the defeat, reporters and fans couldn't help but think of Chen Yu who was far away in the United States. Some fans complained that instead of buying a useless top scorer, they might as well buy Irving.  When he comes back, at least Irving can play at any time. The media thinks that with Liverpool's shitty performance, Chen Yu may not be able to do much when he comes. With the warm-up match like this, even Chen Yu can't rest in peace in the United States. There are many  The reporter came to interview him and asked him about his views on the new club and the time for his comeback. Chen Yu said that he is recovering well now and wants to help the team very much. However, fans need to be patient. He is definitely still a long way from participating in the game.  For a long time, Chen Yu has been very confident in his new club and teammates. He believes that they cannot be used as the main judging criteria. In the 405 season, Liverpool had 3 wins and 1 loss in the preseason, including a heavy defeat against Celtic. In the end, Liverpool ranked third in the Premier League.  In the 5,050U season, Liverpool won three consecutive games in the preseason and finally ranked third in the Premier League. The current three consecutive losses does not explain the problem. He believes that Liverpool will still be the favorite to win the league and the Champions League this season. Chen Yu is very optimistic about his teammates and new players.  The club's support is expected, but Chen Yu's familiarity with Liverpool's history surprised fans and reporters. You must know that Chen Yu did not express interest in the Red Army before moving to Liverpool. Many fans  Everyone is worried that his transfer to Liverpool is just a temporary solution and he has no loyalty to Liverpool. But now Chen Yu even remembers Liverpool¡¯s warm-up matches in previous seasons so clearly. He obviously means it and is serious. This undoubtedly makes Liverpool fans  The favorability of Chen Yu increased by two points. The losing streak and disastrous defeat in the warm-up match had a great impact on the morale of the Red Army. Even if the opponent in the Champions League qualifying match, the Israeli Super League champion Maccabi Haifa, was average, Benitez  Even Liverpool and everyone dare not look down upon them. Mainz was able to score five goals against them. Maccabi Haifa is stronger than Mainz. If they are careless, the result will be hard to say.  Fortunately, the first round match was played at Anfield Stadium. Anfield Stadium has always been a hell for Champions League opponents. Benitez paid great attention to this game and arranged a stable formation of 45l. Reina guarded the gate, Finnan,  Carragher, Hyypia and Riise sit at the back, Sissoko and Alonso serve as double midfielders, Zenden and Pennant serve as left and right midfielders respectively, and captain Gerrard cruises behind Bellamy.  Liverpool, playing at home, was very calm and did not want to eat the Israelis in one bite. In the first thirty minutes, Maccabi Haifa basically did not have a chance to shoot. However, Liverpool did not have many options in the frontcourt. The lone forward Bellamy was in  The front seems a bit isolated.  In the warm-up match, Liverpool suffered a disastrous defeat because of taking risks. In this game, Liverpool was too conservative and was punished.  In the first minute of the game, Maccabi Haifa unexpectedly took the lead. Maccabi Haifa intercepted the ball in the midfield and sent a beautiful through ball. No. 7 Brazilian foreign aid Berkeley reached the penalty area and broke the net with ease.  10 After falling behind, Liverpool was a little nervous and made consecutive mistakes in the midfield and backcourt. However, Maccabi Haifa's strength was limited after all. They were satisfied after scoring one goal and did not take the opportunity to expand the victory.  After a brief period of tension, Liverpool launched a fierce counterattack. Eight minutes later, Pennant made a beautiful pass from the right and Gerrard made a pass in the middle. Sissoko's powerful shot from outside the yard was saved by the goalkeeper.  Lamy's beautiful volley from the right side of the penalty area was successful and the score was tied at 1L. After the goal, Bellamy opened up. In the 44th minute, Bellamy received a pass from his teammate on the right and dunked a defender to cross the ball.  The ball was riskily blocked by the goalkeeper.  In the first half, Liverpool shot U times within the goal frame, while Maccabi Haifa scored with only one shot.  Fighting again in another location, Maccabi Haifa was satisfied with the result of one point and continued to play defensive counterattack, while the profitPu also gave up its conservative mentality and replaced Cen Deng, who was returning from injury, with high center forward Crouch, forming a high and fast front line to continue to strengthen the offensive.  Under the pressure of Liverpool, Maccabi Haifa shrank greatly. Liverpool was sieging the ball at halftime but could not find a way to score. In the 85th minute, Benitez decisively used Mark.  Gonzalez replaced captain Gerrard, who was in mediocre form after participating in the World Cup and was looked down upon by his opponents, and launched the final attack.  At the RR minute of the game, Liverpool's efforts finally paid off. Alonso made a long pass into the penalty area. Crouch deliberately missed it in the middle. Mark Gonzalez, who had just come on, scored the ball from a small angle.  At the last moment, they overtook the score and won this important game in a thrilling manner.  Although they won the first round, the scene was not pretty. Liverpool's victory was not convincing, and the symptom of weak strikers still existed. This made Liverpool fans even more worried about the second round of away games and looking forward to Chen Yu's performance.  Returned from injury.
