    They were kicked off again just after reaching the top. This made Liverpool very angry. In fact, it was more embarrassing. They were the defending champions and the favorites to win the Premier League, but they were kicked from the top position twice in a row by a group of young boys.  Come down, this gives them the shame to show off in front of fans and reporters.  After the game, Benitez was dissatisfied with the team's recent record. He believed that the team's performance was not stable enough. It failed to win some games that should have been won, and did not perform surprisingly well in games that should not have been won.  This year's opponents for the championship are all in good shape except Chelsea. If Liverpool does not show its best form, the task of defending the title this season may become particularly difficult.  The head coach is not satisfied. Gerrard, Carragher, Alonso, Chen Yu and other core figures of the team have expressed their intention to win all the remaining games on the Christmas schedule and strive to regain the top spot again.  In fact, not only Benitez is dissatisfied with the team's performance, but the fans are also not satisfied with Liverpool's performance. Although Liverpool is now only two points behind Arsenal and ranked second, it is three points more than the stronger Manchester United.  points, but the fans were really spoiled by the performance in the second half of last season and the first half of this season. At that time, it was absolutely overwhelming, but now it is stumbling. It is normal for fans to be dissatisfied, but Chen  The statements of Yu, Gerrard and others still satisfy the fans. They have always been very confident in the team, especially after Chen Yu came. They believe that as long as Liverpool can adjust its state, it will be easy to kill everyone again.  matter.  Liverpool¡¯s opponent in the 21st round is Wigan Athletic. This is a team ranked in the middle of the pack, but its playing style is very tough. Although its strength is not very strong, any wealthy team will have a headache when encountering them.  Liverpool must win this game, because Arsenal, Manchester United, and Chelsea are not strong opponents in this round, and the possibility of being upset is very low. If Liverpool cannot defeat Wigan Athletic, it will be too passive on the road to the championship.  , the leaders gain many advantages. They have the power to make mistakes, put psychological pressure on their opponents, and force the pursuers to change their tactics. Liverpool does not want to be a chaser, especially not to be opened up too far.  The Christmas schedule is called the devil¡¯s schedule because the games are so close together. It is basically a high-intensity game in three days. This is a severe test for any team.  Although the opponents of the four giants in this round are not strong, no team can easily defeat their opponents and get three points.  Arsenal relied on Adebayor's goal in the first 69 seconds and da Silva's last-minute strike to win West Ham United 2-0 at home.  Manchester United also played very anxiously in defeating Birmingham. Although Tevez helped Manchester United take the lead in the 25th minute of the game, Manchester United failed to score a second goal until the end of the game.  Chelsea's situation was even worse. They conceded a goal on the road first and then remained passive until they equalized the score in the second half. Then they were still passive, but in the end the superstar played a decisive role. In the 82nd minute, Ballack's goal was  Chelsea got three valuable points.  The match between Liverpool and Wigan Athletic was particularly difficult. The start was not smooth. Faced with Wigan Athletic¡¯s aggressive pressing and tenacious defense, Liverpool did not have many options. After Chen Yu scored in the 50th minute, Wigan Athletic failed to attack.  , Liverpool failed to expand the score, and the game continued uneventfully until the 80th minute. Just when everyone thought it was 1:0, Wigan Athletic took advantage of a corner kick to equalize the score.  There was not much time left. Liverpool played very impatiently, but they played leisurely for so long. After the score was equalized, Liverpool's players couldn't move faster even if they wanted to, and made frequent mistakes. If it weren't for Wigan Athletic,  The counterattack was so bad that Wigan Athletic would definitely win the game in the end.  However, Wigan Athletic's mentality and conservative tactics gave Liverpool a chance for redemption. In the 89th minute of the game, Liverpool got consecutive corner kick opportunities. Under Liverpool's repeated attacks, Wigan Athletic finally had a fatal chance.  After a mistake, Bramble, who scored the equalizing goal for Wigan Athletic, scored an own goal, allowing Liverpool to unexpectedly take the lead. With this goal, Liverpool escaped death, defeated Wigan Athletic, and continued to win two games.  The points difference is closely behind Arsenal.  Liverpool's performance naturally did not satisfy the fans. After the game, the media also criticized Liverpool's performance. They believed that although it is difficult to win among the top four, whether it is Manchester United, Chelsea or Arsenal, they all rely on  They won the game with their own goals, and if Liverpool hadn't been so lucky and their opponent scored an own goal, then they might have been the only team that failed to win.  "The Times" believes that Liverpool lacked the energy in the second half of last season and played the game in a lackluster manner.?And because the main players played too much and consumed too much physical energy, although they have no injuries for the time being, they are not in their best condition. The bigger problem is that Liverpool's substitute level is too poor. It has not yet reached the final stage of the league.  However, the devilish Christmas schedule has exposed a lot of Liverpool's problems. If Liverpool can't strengthen during the winter transfer, it's really hard to predict the second half.  "The Guardian" believes that Liverpool's current performance is very unstable. Fortunately, there is still Chen Yu as a fig leaf. If it were not for Chen Yu, Liverpool would probably have no hope of winning the championship.  The Guardian believes that Liverpool currently have many problems with their physical fitness, morale, bench, and tactics. These problems have just surfaced. The FA Cup will kick off later, and the Champions League knockout rounds will also begin in February. At that time, the  Liverpool is the more severe test. If Benitez does not prepare for a rainy day, both the Champions League and the league will be problematic.  Of course, Benitez is very clear about his own problems. After the winter transfer window opened, he made a purchase request to Rick Barry, buying a central defender, a technical midfielder, and a central defender.  The position is Liverpool's weakest position now. There is only one Hyypia who is a genuine central defender. However, Hyypia's problems this year are too big. After he came on the field, Liverpool's defense was no longer reassuring. Therefore, in the winter  In terms of transfer, the first thing Benitez needs to strengthen is the central defender.  At this position, Benitez hopes to get Serbian center back Ivanovic. However, because of competition from Chelsea, Benitez also has two substitute plans, one is Czech international Skrtel, and the other is Manchester City.  Young defender Richards; another technical midfielder is Argentina international Aimar. The current Liverpool midfielder is full of hardness, but lacks a technically delicate and creative midfielder, and Aimar is Benitez¡¯s favorite.  Goal, in Benitez's view, if Aimar can come, then Chen Yu can be completely liberated and just score goals.  Benitez knows that the club's economy is a bit tight now, so he is not prepared to buy more players. In Benitez's view, the two players are really not many, whether compared with Mourinho or the current Ferguson.  In comparison, he is considered a good and thrifty coach.  But Benitez still underestimated the current financial difficulties of the club. The debt problem has made both Hicks and Gillette rack their brains. Where can there be money for Benitez to buy people in the winter transfer market.  Gillette asked Rick Barry to tell Benitez that Liverpool's current performance and lineup are stable, and there is no need to buy anyone in the winter transfer. Maybe he is worried that Benitez will be angry. Gillette said that if Benitez really wants to buy someone  Okay, then start with the existing lineup and use the money from selling players to buy players.  Benitez almost got angry after getting Rick Barry's reply. He wanted to strengthen the lineup, but he didn't expect that the boss asked him to find a way on his own. I remember three weeks ago, Gillette said that Liverpool had funds for transfers.  It was bought on the market, and now Benitez understands where the money came from. It turned out that he was asked to sell people.  It's not impossible for the seller to buy again, but the Benitez who can be sold at a high price are still useful, and the useless ones cannot be sold at a high price, and they can't raise much money at all. This idea proposed by Gilliam is simply ridiculous.  A bad idea born out of cold weather.  Benitez knows that manager Rick Barry has nothing to do in the transfer market. He cannot be said to be a puppet, but he has no money and no power. Moreover, there are many conflicts with Benitez. Both sides want to squeeze the other out.  .  So Benitez directly called Hicks and Gillette, hoping to get financial support, otherwise he would not be sure he could win several championships, and bluntly said that the method of selling people and then buying them was not easy to use, because  That is equivalent to tearing down one wall to make up for the other. It is the same as not buying anything. If you want to defend the title, you must invest money. Now that competitive football has entered the capital era, you can't win any championship without money.  But Gillette's answer to Benitez was like pouring cold water on Benitez's head. Gillette said that Liverpool's current economic situation is very bad, and if they cannot refinance, they may even sell the club.  Going out, even if you finally get a loan, you may sell more players instead of buying more players.  In fact, Gillette is not just talking about it. His sales list includes players like Alonso, Riise, Crouch, Kewell and Woronin. Of course, there is no way. If  If you have better luck, maybe none of these people will sell. If you have bad luck, you may even sell the club. At the critical moment of life and death, Gillette will not care about the team's record. After all, the team's record is to make money for him. If  If you can't make money, then the team's record won't matter.  Benitez was so angry that he vomited blood at Gillette's answer, but he finally fully understood the team's situation, so he no longer had any illusions about the boss paying for it, and quickly submitted a contract to sell the players.??List, and then use the funds from the sale to buy the players you need.
