    The bad luck in the league has been following Liverpool. In the red-blue battle at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, Liverpool had a good chance to defeat Chelsea and break the myth of Mourinho's two-year unbeaten home game. However, Ballack stepped on Spain in the 51st minute of the second half.  After Soko was sent off, Liverpool defeated Chelsea with more shots and shot 14 times but failed to break through Chelsea's goal. In the end, they had to lose at Stamford Bridge with a score of 0:1.  In the past three seasons, the two sides have met 11 times, with Chelsea having the advantage with 5 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses.  In this summer's Community Shield, Liverpool defeated Chelsea 2-1 to win the cup.  However, Chelsea has won all the last 4 league games. Liverpool's last win as a guest was on January 7, 2004 with the help of French midfielder Sheroux's goal. This was also the only away win in the Premier League.  In the history of the Premier League, Chelsea has the upper hand with 13 wins, 5 draws and 10 losses, especially with 10 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss at home. However, in the history of 126 top-level matches between the two sides, Chelsea has the slight disadvantage with 43 wins, 26 draws and 57 losses.  Although Mourinho said before the game that he would not be a hypocrite and would not shake hands with Benitez in public, after the players walked out of the tunnel and entered the stadium, Mourinho deliberately stayed at the entrance of the tunnel to shake hands with Benitez.  Although Mourinho took the initiative to shake hands with Benitez and seemed to be reconciled, the game was extremely explosive. In the first 5 minutes, Sissoko fiercely tackled Drogba from behind and was given a yellow card.  Both sides committed eight fouls in the first ten minutes. Terry was injured while fighting for a header and was taken off the field for treatment, but he quickly returned to the court.  In the first half, both sides fought fiercely, with few chances. Kuyt had a crossbar, but Drogba showed his superstar style. Lampard made a pass from the right, and Drogba leaned on Carragher on the edge of the penalty area and stopped with his chest.  After receiving the ball, he turned around and shot a volley with his left foot.  In the first half, Chelsea's ball possession rate reached 64.3%, with one goal, which gave them a considerable advantage. However, in the second half, the Blues suffered a blow in the 51st minute. Ballack stepped on Sissoko's thigh with his right foot during the scramble, and the referee  Riley directly took out the red card and sent the German off the field.  Benitez immediately made adjustments, and Aurelio, who had a stronger offensive ability, replaced Warnock to strengthen the offense.  Chelsea, with one less player to play, shrunk their defense, and Liverpool set off a stormy attack in front of Chelsea's goal. Pennant completed 10 crosses by himself, but Liverpool's forwards could never find where Chelsea's goal was. Cuy  Te, Bellamy, and Gerrard continued to waste opportunities, and Crouch, who was replaced, also used his unreliable header to prove that he was not a superstar. In the end, Liverpool had to swallow the bitter pill of defeat in the away game.  Mourinho admitted after the game that he was thankful to God for winning this game, and the turmoil at the last moment made him nervous.  Facts have shown that Chelsea can win not because they defend well, but because the entire Liverpool team does not bring shooting boots.  From a tactical point of view, Benitez and Mourinho are evenly matched.  With one less player, Mourinho had no way to compete with Liverpool, so he defended the center. Lampard, Essien and Makelele lined up in front of the defender to protect the penalty area, but increased the thickness but lost the width.  , the wing is the biggest gap. Benitez saw this. His tactics were very clear and he resolutely played on the wing, especially Pennant on the right. He passed the ball calmly again and again, and everyone in the penalty area was turned upside down, but  Liverpool accomplished everything, but they still couldn't get the ball into the goal. Gerrard couldn't score even four or five meters in front of the goal. You can't blame others for the loss.  Although Benitez showed goodwill to Mourinho before the game, and Mourinho reciprocated and shook hands with him, the loss of the game made Benitez no longer have the idea of ????turning hostility into friendship with Mourinho, "We have no idea.  It is necessary to become close friends, and we do not have time to be close. We are playing for two different teams fighting for the same goal. Our handshake today is just a courtesy.¡± In response to the defeat, Benitez.  Somewhat helpless, "in the three away games we faced the home team, we created more scoring opportunities than the opponent. In today's game, both Gerrard and Kuyt created scoring opportunities in the first half, and there were more opportunities in the second half.  . But we still couldn't score. Chelsea didn't have as many opportunities as us today, but Chelsea's forwards were better at seizing opportunities. It was not our defense's fault that Drogba scored a wonderful goal.  Obviously we still have to improve. It¡¯s just the beginning of the season and there¡¯s still a long way to go.¡± Although Benitez did not explicitly criticize the inaction of the forward line, the meaning of his words was obvious. Liverpool had many opportunities but could not.  To score a goal, Chelsea scored despite not having many chances. Is this because the forward is incompetent or something else?  Before Kuyt came, many Liverpool people regarded Kuyt as their savior, hoping that he could change the situation of Liverpool's weak forwards. However, Kuyt has shot in double digits in his recent appearances, but still failed to score.  In this game, there was a one-on-one hit on the crossbar and an unguarded shot over the top. This reminds me of Chelsea's Ke?man.Both of them came to the Premier League with the halo of the Dutch League's Golden Boot or Silver Boot, but after they came out, they both gave people the feeling that there was a lot of thunder and a small amount of rain, as if they were far from the honor of the top scorer, which made the fans again.  I couldn't help but think of Chen Yulai who was recuperating in the United States. Chen Yu is known as averaging one goal per game in Florence and his ability to seize opportunities is far beyond ordinary people. If he were here, maybe Liverpool would have a big victory today.  Liverpool lost in the away game and can only hope that Arsenal can defeat or draw with Manchester United in the away game. If Arsenal lose to Manchester United, not only will the Gunners be 10 points behind Manchester United and basically miss the championship, Liverpool will also be pulled out by 8 points.  The difference in points means that the hope of winning the championship is also slim.  However, Arsenal¡¯s King Henry was absent due to injury in this game. It was more difficult for Arsenal to defeat Manchester United than it was for Liverpool to defeat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.  However, the Arsenal people created a miracle at Old Trafford. They defeated the Red Devils Manchester United 1:0 and once again brought the Premier League hegemony back to the track of the Four Nations.  After the game, Benitez sincerely thanked Arsenal. He said happily: "Thank you Arsenal, they saved themselves and helped us. We don't want to lose the hope of winning the championship halfway." Such a result is not only  Liverpool is satisfied, Chelsea is also happy, and Manchester United's four-game winning streak scares Mourinho. After Arsenal won, Mourinho smiled and told reporters: "Today I am a Gunners fan and cheer for their victory.  "Arsenal saved Liverpool once and held back Manchester United's progress, but if Liverpool's symptoms of forward weakness cannot be changed, they will still be left behind by their championship opponents, but now Benitez can only wait for Chen Yu.  There is no way, the transfer market has been closed, even if Morse comes up with another mountain of gold, he can't buy anymore people, not to mention Morse has no money, if he had money, he would have bought him without injuries.  of superstar.  Facts have proved that if you don't have the strength, you can never rely on others. Back at home, Kuyt scored and Liverpool defeated the quasi-strong team Tottenham 3:0, while Manchester United was tied with Reading 1:1, and Liverpool took the top spot.  The distance was reduced to 3 points, but then Liverpool was defeated by Bolton 2:0 in an away game and was tied by Blackburn at home. The point gap with Manchester United widened to 8 points.  During this period, Liverpool's only bright spot was its excellent performance in the cup competition. It won two consecutive Champions League games and passed two levels of the League Cup. The forwards who could not score goals in the league also found their form in the cup competition. This made all Premier League football experts.  I don't understand why Liverpool's forwards have such different performances in the league and cup games.  In a state of ups and downs like a roller coaster, Liverpool ushered in a crimson battle with Manchester United.  At this moment, the points gap between Liverpool and Manchester United is as high as 7 points. The dilemma they face is similar to Arsenal's challenge to Manchester United at Old Trafford. If they win, the league will return to the Four Nations, but if they lose, only Liverpool will go to hell.  , Arsenal, which has won five consecutive victories, is only one step away from Manchester United and Chelsea.  However, the same situation, the results are completely different. Manchester United at this moment is completely different from what it was at the beginning of the season. After experiencing two losses and being tied by a weak team, their mentality is more mature and their state is more stable, while Liverpool is not only unstable.  , the forwards lacked offensive ability, and were finally scored by Scholes and Ferdinand in the stalemate. In the end, they lost 0:2 in the away game. The point gap with Manchester United widened to 11 points, and it was 10 points less than second-place Chelsea.  Just after 9 rounds of the league, Liverpool has almost withdrawn from the championship competition.  When Liverpool lost to Manchester United, Chen Yu had been recovering from his injury for five months in the United States. During these five months, Chen Yu was very patient and painful, lying on the bed and sofa, receiving plasters, Chinese medicine and acupuncture from Zhang Youzhen.  Treatment, the only way for him to contact the world was through the Internet. However, he did not suffer this pain in vain, and his recovery speed was far faster than ordinary people. In fact, he could go to the ground as early as two months ago, but Dr. Hudson and Zhang Youzhen  They all hoped that he would lie down for two months and wait for the ligaments to fully recover. Now, after Chen Yu's repeated requests, Hudson finally agreed to allow Chen Yu to engage in appropriate activities.  After getting Dr. Hudson's consent, Chen Yu's first thought was to return to Europe as soon as possible. Although it is impossible for him to play now, Chen Yu believes that as long as he goes back, he will be able to encourage his teammates. Now Liverpool is too  He needs encouragement. Chen Yu is worried that if he goes back too late, he may not be able to win the championship. However, before going back, Chen Yu still has one important but difficult thing to do, which is to bring Zhang Youzhen back to Europe. After this  After several months of treatment, Chen Yu saw Zhang Youzhen's miraculous medical skills. Injuries are inevitable when playing football. Chen Yu hopes that Zhang Youzhen can stay by his side and become his personal doctor.
