    Liverpool lost to Arsenal in an away game and were basically out of the championship competition after just 12 rounds. This shocked England and even the entire European football world. Many media couldn't help but ask how Liverpool, who dominated the Champions League, was doing in the league.  Already?  Why is there such a big difference between the same team on the road and at home, in the Champions League and the league.  The Guardian was the first to point out the cause of Liverpool's illness. In an article titled "Double-Sided Liverpool," the reporter pointed out, "The reason why Liverpool have such completely different performances at home and away, in the Champions League and in the league, is mainly because of their performance in the game.  Lack of resilience. Apart from Gerrard, Liverpool lacks truly capable stars, and these two points are the necessary conditions for a team to overcome difficulties. Look at the players Liverpool introduced, Pennant bought for 6.7 million  , Bellamy was bought for 6 million, Paletta was bought for 2 million, and Kuyt was bought for 9 million. As the saying goes, cheap is not good. The value chain of these players cannot exceed 10 million pounds. If you want to count on it,  How is it possible for them to compete with Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal? Their signings are worth tens of millions. This can only be matched by Chen Yu's transfer, but Chen Yu can only watch from the stands now.  "The Times" regretfully commented: "It is less than one-third of the schedule, but Liverpool has almost lost the hope of winning the championship. The original four-nation romance has now become a three-wizard competition. Obviously, this will not only make this team  The Premier League has lost a lot of color this season, and it will also make Liverpool fans lose interest and goals in subsequent games, because Liverpool fans cannot only watch one Champions League game a month. The league is the foundation of the team, and the cup is just  The icing on the cake, and Liverpool's current approach is obviously inappropriate. ""The Sun" said: "Liverpool's partiality is getting more and more serious. They now have the intention of giving up the league. This is not appropriate. The cup competition has a huge impact.  It is not worthwhile to focus most of the energy on the cup. I think Liverpool should think about the future carefully now, what exactly they want, and then let Chen Yu come back as soon as possible. Liverpool's forward is really a bit  "The German newspaper "Bild" also focused on this key match between Liverpool and Arsenal. "Bild" analyzed: "Liverpool only won once against strong teams this season.  Still in the useless Community Shield Cup, Chelsea did not exert any strength at all, and now in this game, Liverpool lost a mess. From the score to the fighting spirit, from the spirit to various statistics, Liverpool lost. Now they need to take a good turn.  "Reflection." Italy's "Gazzetta dello Sport" also commented: "The striker scored zero goals again, and Liverpool also lost again. At this time, I believe that the fans of the Red Army will miss Chen Yu very much and want to change Liverpool's situation.  Yu¡¯s comeback is necessary, and this is the last hope of Liverpool fans. If Chen Yu cannot solve the problem of scoring goals, then it can only be said that Liverpool¡¯s signing policy has completely failed.¡± "Gazzetta dello Sport" is also keen.  I discovered a small detail in the game. When Arsenal scored the third goal, Gerrard complained angrily to Rise, and Rise indicated that it was Gerrard who failed to defend well and missed someone.  A quarrel between the main players is not good news for Liverpool. Maybe the away bugs and the weak forwards cannot destroy the Red Army, but internal disunity will definitely destroy a strong team.  The media are reflecting on Liverpool's behalf and looking for the reasons for the defeat. Liverpool themselves are not indifferent. After the game, Benitez did not take a holiday as usual. Players and coaches gathered together to discuss the problems that have arisen in Liverpool in recent times.  What should we do next? Should we give up the league and play the cup, or should we focus on the cup and league together.  Theoretically speaking, Liverpool still has hope of winning the championship, but in fact, Liverpool's hope is very slim. They are 14 points behind the leaders. This is almost five games. The average championship team will lose in a season.  After four or five games, even if the leader Manchester United is abnormal this season and loses more, Manchester United is followed by Chelsea and Arsenal, one with 11 points more than Liverpool and the other with 7 points, Chen Yu still has no hope.  ¡°But if we start giving up on the league now, I¡¯m afraid that once Liverpool¡¯s players relax, they are likely to plummet, and in the end they won¡¯t even be able to keep their place in the top four.  Chen Yu also attended Liverpool's team affairs meeting. This was the first time he attended such a meeting. However, during the meeting, Chen Yu did not let himself get involved. Instead, he sat calmly aside and watched his teammates and coaches.  They were having lively discussions there.  Obviously, the players and coaches quickly divided into two groups. One group believed that they should give up the league. No matter how hard they worked, they would not be able to win the league. It was better to focus on the Champions League and domestic cup competitions. Liverpool had better luck in the cup competition.  He has won five cup championships and miraculously won the Champions League. If you focus on the Champions League and cup competitions, there will be no problem with one or two championship trophies, and if you still return to the leagueTrying to seize the competition with both hands, I am afraid that in the end all will be lost.  The other group believes that they should start focusing on the cup now. The league will definitely plummet. It is hard to say whether they can finish fourth in the end. Liverpool has not fallen out of the top four. In the season when Liverpool won the Champions League, Liverpool only  They finished fifth and were suppressed by Everton. Fortunately, UEFA showed mercy and made an exception to allow Liverpool to participate in the qualifying rounds.  Tottenham and Everton are very strong now, but Liverpool is only ranked ninth. If they don't play hard in the league, and they arrogantly think that they can guarantee the top four by playing blindly, I'm afraid they will miss the top four in the end.  .  Head coach Benitez also remained silent. He was also listening to the opinions of his players and assistants. When the discussion was almost complete, the players' opinions gradually became unified. No one on both sides could convince the other. Benitez  Waving his hand to stop everyone from discussing, he asked Gerrard: "Steve, what's your opinion?" Gerrard smiled bitterly and said: "My opinion is that the league must be at least top four to ensure next year's ranking.  I think the Champions League berth is a priority. In addition, if the league can only guarantee the top four, we must win one or two cup championships in order to calm the anger of the fans." Benitez nodded slightly and said: "That's it.  Your opinion is to focus more on it, but you can¡¯t give up on the League Cup.¡± Gerrard nodded: ¡°Yes, coach, that¡¯s what I mean.¡± Benitez said to Chen Yu: ¡°Chen, what¡¯s your opinion?  ? Although you haven¡¯t played a game yet, you have participated in the team¡¯s training for more than half a month and watched the game live. What do you think?¡± Chen Yu pondered for a moment and said: ¡°I think the league  Although there is not much hope now, the cup competition is not a reliable thing. If the cup competition is upset, especially in the knockout round, if we make a mistake, we may be eliminated. It is not reasonable for us to put all our energy into gambling on the cup competition.  , I think we should grasp it with both hands, be tough with both hands, wait and see first, and then see how the situation is after half the game. In addition, coach, I want to come back early to see if I can play against Middlesbrough on the weekend.  League." What Chen Yu said before did not attract the attention of the players and coaches, but his last sentence attracted all the attention.  "What, he wants to participate?" "Chen has only been here for half a month." "Didn't he say that it might not be possible within a month? Why does he want to participate now?" The players and exchanges at the scene were all very suspicious.  .  Benitez was still listening seriously. When he heard Chen Yu say that he wanted to come back to play early, he couldn't help but said, "Ah! Come back early? Chen, do you think your body is okay?" "I think it's fine.  I originally wanted to wait another half month, but the team's situation is very critical now. I want to come back early and be a substitute first. " Chen Yu is still very clear about his injury. He can now do high-intensity movements.  , although the weight has not been reduced to that before the operation, there is definitely no problem playing as a substitute, and even playing the whole game does not seem to be a big problem. In addition, the reason why he wants to come back early is that in addition to the poor team situation, Chen Yu is worried that his teammates will lose the championship.  All hope is gone, and there is another important reason, that is, he has just been selected into the five-man roster of European Footballer and World Footballer. Although this is a World Cup year, he has little hope, but because Italy, which won the championship, does not have an absolute superstar  , so Chen Yu hopes to hit the European Footballer of the Year, so he is preparing to come back early.  "Chen, your comeback must be checked by the team doctors and experts. Without their permission, you cannot come back early." Although Liverpool's current situation is not good, Benitez is also very anxious, otherwise the meeting will not be held  The team affairs meeting was held, but Benitez was very sensible and knew that when using Chen Yu, he must not kill the goose that lays the goose to lay the egg. Otherwise, it would solve the urgent need but ruin Chen Yu's career, which would be more than worth the loss.  Chen Yu said: "I understand, coach. I want to ask the team doctor to check me today to see if I can compete." Benitez said: "Chen, I understand your mood, but this is not an urgent matter.  , Okay, I'll ask the team doctor to test you tomorrow. Now let's get back to the current topic." Chen Yu nodded and sat there without talking. He knew that Liverpool would definitely be very happy with his comeback.  Be cautious, after all, he is the most expensive signing in Liverpool's history, and Liverpool definitely don't want this investment to go to waste.  Benitez sorted out his thoughts slightly and said: "The current situation is very bad, but it is really shameful to have to make a choice after 12 rounds of the league, but we must focus on it.  , and have a big-picture view, otherwise we may end up with nothing. I agree with what captain Steve just said, we should be there.Guaranteed to win one or two cup championships on the basis of the top four, so that it will not be a failed season.  " Benitez's goal has actually announced that he has given up the league title. Although it is a shame for a giant like Liverpool, the reality is here. They can only guarantee that they will win the cup among the top four, otherwise  At the end of this season, their lives will not be easy, and if they are lucky enough to win the Champions League, they will be successful this season.
