    Before the 18th round of the Premier League, a situation occurred that made Liverpool people dumbfounded.  .  .  In the Champions League group stage, Liverpool worked hard and finally snatched the top spot from PSV Eindhoven. However, in the Champions League knockout draw in Nyon, Switzerland on the 15th, they were awarded the runner-up of the previous Champions League.  Winner Barcelona.  In terms of strength alone, Barcelona is definitely the strongest among the top 16 of the Champions League. The loss to Fiorentina in the Champions League final in the summer can only be said to be that Chen Yu was amazing. The last kill left the Barcelona people with no time to display all their skills.  If it weren't for Chen Yu's winning goal, Barcelona would have won the final championship.  After taking the first place and drawing the worst draw, Liverpool's head coach Benitez looked frustrated. He said that Liverpool's draw today was indeed average. After the draw was announced, he received many calls from Barcelona.  Old friends who knew him well when he was coaching Real Madrid and Valencia all sent their condolences.  Benitez said: " This makes me feel as if Liverpool has been eliminated, but I think we have no chance of eliminating Barcelona. Barcelona is the best now, everyone thinks so. They have Ronaldinho, they have  Deco, Eto'o, this is the best lineup in Europe, but don't forget that we are talking about the Champions League. On this stage, some things are much more complicated, just like when we met Benfica last year.  We were expected to advance to the next round, but as the defending champions we were eliminated early. I was very familiar with Barcelona, ??especially at Camp Nou. We had many players poached from Barcelona.  There is no doubt that they will go all out against Barcelona. Another important thing is that we also have Barcelona's nemesis Chen. His condition has been recovering. You can also see that he scored every game. Two months later,  When Liverpool meets Barcelona, ??I believe you will see Chen Yu at his peak, and a Red Army whose condition and level are not inferior to Barcelona. "Benitez is stating the reasons why his team is not inferior to Barcelona.  , but others regarded his words as a joke. Before the draw, Barcelona had expressed its desire to win the championship for the first season.  After the draw, Barcelona chairman Laporta said disdainfully: "This is the opponent Barcelona hopes to face in the top 16 draw. Now I can go to the hometown of the Beatles to see it."  "World Sports News" even said: "Lady Luck is on Barcelona's side. Liverpool will not play away games; Barcelona is not afraid of Liverpool's straight football; last and most important point, Barcelona is stronger than Liverpool."  "Aspa", known as the mouthpiece of Real Madrid, is also optimistic about Barcelona's prospects. Editor-in-chief Alfredo said: "Barcelona is like a jet. As long as there are no problems with its own power, it will be difficult to defeat. It is not good for Barcelona."  It¡¯s not that there are no factors, the schedule is home first and then away, the opponent¡¯s coach Benitez is Spanish, the atmosphere at Anfield is terrifying, and they still have Chen, but overall, they have matured after experiencing the Champions League final.  For Barcelona, ??these are not enough to affect the entire battle. "If the dialogue between Liverpool and Barcelona is the most eye-catching, then Real Madrid and Bayern are definitely not weaker than the former, although the current situation of the two teams is different from that of the championship.  It has declined compared to its peak state, but Real Madrid and Bayern were champions in 2000 and 2001. This is also a competition between former Champions League winners. Real Madrid and Bayern have as many fans around the world as Liverpool and Barcelona. There have even been  In short, if they can bring in strong reinforcements when the transfer door opens in January, the game will definitely be more exciting.  Compared with Liverpool, the other three giants in the Premier League, Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea, all got good draws. They avoided the three powerful teams of Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Fiorentina and got Lille, Porto and Eindhoven respectively. There is nothing wrong with breaking into the quarterfinals.  There is suspense at all.  In the other three games, Inter Milan drew Valencia, Fiorentina met Ligue 1 hegemon Lyon, and Milan met the challenge of Celtic.  There is no suspense in Milan. Even if Ancelotti comes on the bench, they will not necessarily lose. The two dialogues between Inter Milan vs. Valencia and Roma vs. Lyon are more interesting and suspenseful. Valencia has always been strong and defensive.  The counterattack was very good. Inter Milan's winning streak is now unstoppable, but King Adriano has not come out of hibernation. In addition, Inter Milan has not won the league championship in so many years. It was easy to wait until Juventus was sent to Serie B and Milan deducted points.  Their desire for the league is definitely stronger, and the league and the Champions League will definitely make it difficult for Mancini to choose.  Fiorentina was the double champion of Serie A and the Champions League last term, but after Chen Yu's transfer, Fiorentina's status and strength plummeted. Now they are suppressed by Inter Milan in the civil war and almost failed to qualify in the group in the foreign war. Fortunately, Valencia advanced in the final round.  After qualifying, they sent out substitutes to fight, and Fiorentina was able to qualify second in the group. It is difficult to say whether the defending champion can pass Lyon.  The Champions League knockout rounds will clash in the first round on February 20th and 21st. There are still two months left, but the major playersThe lottery company has given new odds for winning the championship. From the changes in the odds, we can also see how well each team has drawn the lottery.  Since Chelsea encountered Porto and Barcelona met the stronger champion Liverpool of the previous year, the number of fans supporting Chelsea to win the championship surged. The Blues' odds on betfair surpassed Barcelona and rose to the top of the list.  In addition, the Red Devils Manchester United, who encountered the underdog Lille, also received widespread support. Real Madrid, who encountered Bayern Munich, saw their odds rise instead of falling, squeezing out Lyon and entering the top three. It makes people feel that there is something wrong with it.  Tricky, and Liverpool's odds of winning the championship have been falling all the way, and are now ranked 11th in William Hill's odds, and 12th in odds on Betfair, with only Einho behind them.  Win, Porto, Lille and Celtic.  Having bad luck in the Champions League, and being despised as last year's champion, Liverpool's players and fans have to unleash their pent-up anger on their league opponents.  Liverpool has won four consecutive league games in the last four rounds, and has scored 8 goals in the last two rounds. Now in the 18th round, they face the underdog Charlton who only won 3 games in the 17th round. The players and fans are full of confidence.  , gearing up to go to Charlton's Valley Stadium to massacre the city.  However, the biggest highlight of this game is Chen Yu¡¯s starting position. After five consecutive games as a substitute, Chen Yu¡¯s running-in with his teammates has become better and better, and his physical condition is getting better and better. Before the Champions League draw, Bennett  Si said that Chen Yu can now start, but the specific game has not yet been decided. After the draw, Benitez made it clear that Chen Yu will start in the game against Charlton.  This is Chen Yu¡¯s first start after seven months of injury. Although the opponent is only Charlton, Chen Yu¡¯s fans are overjoyed.  Although Chen Yu scored every game after his comeback, scoring 5 goals in four rounds, the fans still felt that it was not enough. After all, there was too little time and not many opportunities. If he started and faced the underdogs, Chen Yu would  There will be more opportunities to score goals, and the hope of winning the title of top scorer again will greatly increase.  During the summer transfer, Liverpool bought Chen Yu who was suffering from injuries. At that time, "Times" reporter Rod Riddle asked Henry and Drogba respectively whether they were worried that Chen Yu would threaten their competition for the best.  As a shooter, Henry has suffered from Chen Yu. He said that if Chen Yu can come back early, he will be a strong contender for the top scorer. However, Drogba said disdainfully that in the Premier League, only he and Henry are the kings.  , this season he is scheduled to be the top scorer in advance.  Drogba's domineering attitude made his fans very excited, but Chen Yu's fans were furious. However, because Chen Yu didn't know when he would come back or what his condition would be like after his comeback, they could only hold their anger in their hearts.  Now, they can finally loudly declare war on Drogba.  At 12:45 on December 16th, UK local time, and 20:45 on December 17th, Beijing time, the Valley Stadium, Charlton¡¯s longest-used stadium in its more than 100-year history, welcomed the former British football hegemon, Liverpool.  Due to world superstar Chen Yu, the second-placed player in the European Golden Globe Award, will start the game, the Valley Stadium, which can accommodate 26,500 people, is full. The black market price of the ticket has also increased from no one interested to the current 200 pounds. According to the survey, the main purchaser  Those are the Chinese fans.  Facing the 17th-ranked Charlton in this battle, Liverpool used all their main players and formed a 433 formation that Benitez had never used before: goalkeeper 25-Reina; 3-Finnan, 4-Hyypia,  23- Carragher, 6- Riise; 14- Alonso, 8- Gerrard, 16- Pennant; 17- Bellamy, 18- Kuyt, 9- Chen Yu.  Charlton, who are playing at home, are not afraid. They are sitting at the Valley Stadium. They have faced Liverpool in the last four times and won three of them. Charlton players and fans believe that they will continue their victory over Liverpool because Liverpool  These past few seasons, they have been away from home.  After the game started, Charlton did not play conservatively. With local striker Darren Bent and Dutch legendary striker Hasselbaink, they hoped to use their sharp strikers to break through Liverpool's gate and give the Red Army a showdown.  In each of Charlton's three victories, they scored first and then defended and counterattacked.  However, Liverpool¡¯s energy today is obviously very different from before. In the previous four victories, they relied on Chen Yu as a second-half substitute to break the deadlock three times. Today, Chen Yu started, and Liverpool¡¯s offensive power with three forwards appeared to be much stronger.  In the third minute of the game, Liverpool launched a fierce offensive on the wing. Chen Yu, the starter, was uninhabited on the wing. He used his speed to eat Romedal and Traore alive, but his pass was blocked.  Kuyt in the middle cleared the baseline.  A minute later, Chen Yu made a comeback. This time he got rid of Traore and did not cross. Instead, he cut into Charlton's penalty area along the baseline. At this moment, the Charlton players were a little angry. Hereda was filling in.  When Chen Yu threw the ball over his head, Sen actually raised his foot and kicked Chen Yu in the face.Chen Yu fell to the ground with his hands on his face, and the referee decisively awarded a penalty kick.
