    After Chen Yu won the Ballon d'Or and became the World Footballer of the Year, he became the veritable number one player in the world. This incident has caused a sensation in the world of football, and of course caused an even greater sensation in Liverpool.  As Liverpool's most popular actress, the Liverpool Club now has to fawn over Chen Yu, fearing that Chen Yu will be poached. Now that Chen Yu has received such a great honor, the Liverpool Club must of course express his gratitude. Club manager Rick Barry took the lead and  Chen Yu held a grand celebration, the scale of the event was second only to Liverpool's victory in the league championship.  The event lasted for a day and a half, and the third day was the League Cup quarter-finals with Chelsea. Originally, Chen Yu was opposed to such a grand celebration, but Rick Barry's attitude was very firm, and Chen Yu couldn't insist on it.  Although Niites also objected to celebrating for such a long time, he couldn't say anything about it and could only let Rick Barry do what he wanted.  Before Chen Yu attended the World Footballer Award Ceremony, Liverpool lost 0:1 at home to Manchester United. Morale was already a bit low. Before Benitez had time to adjust, he was hit by activities celebrating Chen Yu's World Footballer win.  Not only did the team's morale not improve, but the players' arrogance became even higher. They believed that with Chen Yu, the best player in the world, on the team, there would be no problem in defeating Chelsea, which had become distraught after the coaching change.  However, Liverpool obviously underestimated Chelsea's determination and courage in this useless competition of the League Cup.  Since Chelsea was defeated by Arsenal in the last round, Chelsea was also 7 points behind the leader Arsenal. It is also 5 points and 4 points behind Liverpool and Manchester United. Although the league is not halfway through, Chelsea cannot say that there is no chance.  , but because there are many problems and conflicts within Chelsea that have not been resolved, Chelsea's hope of competing for the league championship is actually very small, so Chelsea's head coach Grant has set his goal to compete for cup championships such as the League Cup and the FA Cup.  Above, although when Chelsea was at its peak, such tasteless events were not in their hearts at all, but now both Grant and Chelsea need these tasteless championships.  In this game, Chelsea played extremely bravely. They performed beyond the standard in both offense and defense. Liverpool's performance was very sluggish.  Luck was also very good. In the last minute of the first half, Essien opened the door of Liverpool with a long shot, allowing Liverpool to enter the halftime break without even a chance to counterattack.  After the halftime break, Liverpool counterattacked aggressively, as if they wanted to devour Chelsea in one go. Chen Yu, the new World Footballer of the Year, also showed strong shooting ability. He still won three shooting opportunities despite Chelsea's desperate fouls, but Chen Yu  Yu's luck seemed to have run out. He hit the goalpost twice in three shots, and had an empty-net opportunity that was saved by Chelsea's Dinghaijingjian Terry on the goal line.  Chelsea's luck was really good today. Liverpool's massive counterattack did not defeat Chelsea. Chelsea seemed to be able to defend passively, but in the 78th minute, Chelsea's counterattack once again penetrated Liverpool's door. The goal scorer was Chelsea who has been depressed.  The ambition of Shevchenko.  After the score became 2:0, Liverpool became extremely impatient. Although the attack was fierce, it was still unable to break Chelsea's defense. In the last five minutes, Liverpool could only use long passes and personal breakthroughs to attack Chelsea's defense.  Playing right into Chelsea's hands, their tough defense repeatedly turned Liverpool's attacks into set-piece exercises, which is what Chelsea do best.  After the game entered stoppage time, Liverpool had not yet scored a goal. They were already exhausted if they wanted to advance. All that was left was to score a goal to save some face. However, Chelsea had been suppressed by Liverpool for so long in the cup. It was easy to do so today.  If they had the opportunity to bully Liverpool, how could they show mercy? They would definitely beat him to death.  However, although Chen Yu had poor ball movement today, his scoring ability was not something that any team could restrain in a game. In the second minute of stoppage time, Chen Yu finally used the opportunity of a set kick to shoot past Cech.  The guarded gate saved Liverpool a little face, but facing the united Chelsea, Chen Yu could not reverse the game. In the end, Liverpool lost 1:2 away to Chelsea and stopped in the League Cup quarter-finals.  In other games, Everton, Tottenham, and Arsenal eliminated their opponents and reached the semi-finals. Liverpool was originally the favorite to win the League Cup. After they were unexpectedly eliminated by Chelsea, the favorite became Chelsea.  , Arsenal followed closely behind. In the eyes of the media and fans, the final championship is in the hands of these two teams.  Liverpool was originally ambitious to win all the championships, but before the league was even halfway through, they failed in the League Cup. This made Benitez very embarrassed. At the post-match press conference, Benitez said  Tes was furious. He first criticized the players for their poor state and their poor performance in offense andThere was a lack of aggression in defense, and then he ridiculed Chelsea for playing too rough and committing too many fouls. If the referee had enforced the law normally, it would have been good for Chelsea to have eight players left in the game. Finally, Benitez also implicitly criticized the club.  Manager Rick Barry celebrated Chen Yu's behavior during the team's game.  Of course Grant, who was immersed in the joy of victory, would not care about Benitez's sarcasm. Although the League Cup was not a top-level event, the opponent he eliminated was Liverpool. When Mourinho was at his peak in the Premier League,  He couldn't help Liverpool in the cup. He eliminated Liverpool as soon as he came on stage. This is Liverpool with Chen Yu. Obviously, this has a bonus point effect for the fans and Abramovich, and it can also strengthen his influence in the football to a certain extent.  authority in the team.  For this reason, Grant instead praised Liverpool at the post-match press conference. He believed that Chelsea's victory today was due to luck. Liverpool is still the best team in the world. Chen Yu is worthy of being the best player in the world, even if Chelsea  I have been guarding against Chen Yu for the whole game, but still failed to prevent Chen Yu from scoring. If the game had been a few minutes longer, the final result would have been difficult to say.  Although they were only eliminated from the League Cup, Liverpool's loss still attracted serious attention from the outside world.  Counting this game, Liverpool has lost two games in a row. This has dealt a big blow to Liverpool's morale and confidence. For a wealthy team, strength is of course the main factor, accounting for 7 points, but confidence and morale also need  Accounting for 2 points, if there is no morale and confidence, it will be difficult to show strength.  In addition, what has a greater impact on Liverpool is actually the attitude of other teams. Since winning the championship last season, Premier League teams have been intimidated by Liverpool, often losing three points before fighting.  After Feather scored first, the game was basically given up. Now that Liverpool has lost two games in a row, other teams will definitely see that Liverpool is not invincible, so it may not be so easy for Liverpool to easily dominate in future games.  Due to Benitez¡¯s complaints after the game, this also gave the media an opportunity to speculate. For the media, no news is the worst thing.  "The Times" believes that Liverpool's transition from being undefeated to losing streak must be due to internal problems. Judging from Benitez's post-match complaints, there is either a conflict between Benitez and Rick Barry, or between Benitez and Rick Barry.  Chen Yu is conflicted.  "The Sun" has more information. They believe that the losing streak is not because of internal problems, but because the losing streak exposes the internal problems of the team. "The Sun" believes that Rick Barry and Benitez  The conflict between them has been going on for a long time. They originally belonged to two bosses, so it would be right not to deal with them. But the problem now is not the conflict between Benitez and Rick Barry, but between Benitez and Chen Yu.  There may be conflicts between them. If Liverpool cannot solve the problem as soon as possible, they may still fail.  England's famous tabloid "News of the World" is not as rigorous as the big media. They directly claimed that Benitez was jealous of Chen Yu's influence and status in the team, so he put the responsibility for the failure on Chen Yu after the game.  and Rick Barry.  The media's fanning the flames and spreading rumors had a major impact on Liverpool's unity, forcing Rick Barry, Chen Yu and Benitez to personally issue statements stating that there was no conflict between them, but this only gave media hype.  The situation was even more serious, especially when the News of the World fabricated a lot of conflicting news between Chen Yu and Benitez, which made Chen Yu and Benitez very angry. The two issued a letter to the News of the World  It ended with a warning that if they didn't apologize, they would be taken to court.  Under the threats of Chen Yu and Benitez, the reporter of "News of the World" had to apologize, which resolved the storm.  Although the storm has been temporarily resolved, everyone knows that if Liverpool cannot win, the following news will still appear, and there will be real conflicts within Liverpool.  When they were about to enter the brutal Christmas Day battle, Liverpool had such a problem, which was another huge blow to Liverpool's morale.  However, in this troubled winter, Liverpool is not without some good news. At the draw ceremony for the Champions League quarter-finals held in Nyon, Switzerland on the 21st, Liverpool drew a lottery. Their opponent was Schalke 04.  , among the seven second-placed teams except Porto, Schalke 04 is just a little better than Fenerbahce, Celtic, and Olympiacos. There are almost no obstacles for Liverpool to advance to the quarterfinals.  Chelsea's draw is also good. Their opponent is Olympiacos, and there is no problem in advancing to the quarterfinals. Arsenal and Manchester United are much worse off. Arsenal drew AC Milan, which is almost a life and death battle, and Manchester United's opponents  It's Lyon, it's not easy to fight like this.  ??The other sets of opponents are Barcelona versus Celtic, Porto versus Inter Milan, Sevilla versus Fenerbahce, among whichBarcelona's signing is also very good. They are ranked in the top four with Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United in terms of winning odds.
