    After the match against Middlesbrough in the 22nd round, Liverpool's deterrent power in the middle and lower reaches was once again established. The midfield teams had no desire and had no intention of fighting Liverpool to the death. The relegation teams believed that their strength was too high.  Weak, even if we fight hard, we will still lose in the end, it is better to reserve our strength to fight against the teams that may score points, so Liverpool will relax in the next few games.  In the 23rd round of the league against Aston Villa, Liverpool easily won the game 3:0.  In this round, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal also faced weak teams and all scored three points. However, Chelsea only won 1:0 against Birmingham. The fatigue was already very obvious, while Arsenal was in consecutive games.  After the victory was terminated, there were still ups and downs. Although the victory over Fulham in this round continued to suppress Manchester United, Liverpool still did not regard them as their number one enemy. In the hearts of all Liverpool people, the steady Manchester United is the most difficult opponent.  .  In the fourth round of the FA Cup, Premier League champion Liverpool faced the amateur team Havant. This was a game without any suspense. However, no one expected that Havant played well. Although they lost the game in the end,  However, a group of Havant composed of security guards, drivers, and engineers actually scored two goals at Anfield, and ultimately lost only 2:5. Even though Liverpool only sent less than half of the main players to participate in the battle, this also made Havant  Wente became famous in the British Isles.  In this round of the FA Cup, Liverpool took advantage because Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United were all drawn from Premier League teams. Although they also won and advanced, they consumed far more energy than Liverpool.  In the 24th round, Liverpool faced the challenge of West Ham United. Although West Ham United did not want to admit defeat easily, after Liverpool scored two goals in the first ten minutes, they had no choice but to surrender.  In this round, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal were not to be outdone and all won. However, Chelsea was still very weak offensively and only defeated Reading 1:0.  At the end of the 24th round of the league, the European winter transfer window is about to end. After nearly a month of operation, Liverpool's transfer has finally come to fruition. Since Liverpool is really short of money, in the winter transfer,  Benitez did not receive a penny of support from the club. In the end, he only sold the powerful defensive midfielder Sissoko and bought the Czech international Skrtel. Sissoko's transfer income was 11 million euros, while  Skrtel only cost Liverpool 7.5 million euros. Speaking of which, Liverpool not only made no investment, but made 3.5 million euros.  Benitez must be very dissatisfied with such a transfer. Although the team has defensive midfielders Mascherano and Alonso, and Gerrard occasionally plays as a defensive midfielder, Chen Yu has to play as a defensive midfielder as a last resort.  He can also play as a defensive midfielder, but that is not a regular configuration after all. In Benitez's mind, when he needs to be reckless, Sissoko is even easier to use than Alonso, but Benitez has no choice, he is short of people.  , money is needed. There are few substitutes in other positions, and even if it is sold, it is estimated that it will not be sold at a good price. It is impossible to buy a good defender. After weighing the balance, Benitez still pushed Sissoko.  Transfer list.  Originally, Sissoko was sold for 11 million euros, and Benitez was very happy. He felt that if the club could scrape together a little more money, they could win over his favorite Aimar and Ivanovic in one fell swoop, but Benitez had absolutely no idea.  Thinking about it, the team did not spend a penny in the end, nor did they buy Ivanovic in his prime, but bought a Czech defender Skrtel. Although the Czech international was also good in training,  But he is too young, that is, his combat power is not enough. It is difficult to say how much better than Hyypia. If we talk about potential, Benitez would prefer to buy Richards, but Benitez has no choice.  He can only submit his own ideas, but it is not up to him to decide which player to buy.  Benitez is different from Ferguson, Mourinho and Wenger. These two people have transfer power in the club. They can buy whoever they want as long as they provide transfer funds, so they are called managers.  These coaches themselves are called Coach.  Benitez has always hoped to obtain the power of Ferguson, Wenger and Benitez. This undoubtedly deprived the team manager Rick Barry of his power, so the contradiction between the two became increasingly acute.  During the winter transfer, Benitez originally wanted to replenish the team's blood, but he didn't expect that every time he entered and exited, not only did he fail to replenish blood, but he actually lost blood. This really made Benitez very helpless and angry.  Liverpool is a typical example of failed winter transfers, while other Premier League teams have not made much move. Chelsea, which spent a lot of money in previous years, only spent 20 million euros on Anelka in winter transfers to enhance its offensive power. However,  Anelka is already the top bidder for winter transfers.  Although Chelsea no longer burns money, Chelsea's investment is still the highest in the Premier League, and its reputation as a rich man is well-deserved. In addition to 20 million euros for Anelka, they also spent 12 million euros to sign Serbian defender Ivanovic.  , another 45018-year-old Argentinian teenager Di Santo was recruited for 10,000 euros.  Abramovich's spending money on the winter transfer is in sharp contrast to the stinginess of former head coach Mourinho in the same period last year. It also caused rumors that Mourinho and Abramovich had an affair when Mourinho was dismissed.  The contradictory suspicions were confirmed.  Like Liverpool, Manchester United only signed one person. The Red Devils signed the little-known Angola international Manucho. His role is to replace the injured Saha. The specific transfer fee has not been disclosed.  Arsenal seems to be very satisfied with the current situation of the team. Wenger did not make any introductions. They just took back the Swiss central defender Deyoro who was on loan from Birmingham.  In addition to the four major clubs, Tottenham have continued their fine tradition of demonstrating the club's financial strength through the transfer market. After spending 50 million euros to acquire stars in the summer, they spent another 50 million euros this winter because the results were not good.  It cost about 27 million euros, but all of it was invested in the defender.  Woodgate, who signed from Middlesbrough for 10.8 million euros, is not the most expensive, because Huton, whom they signed from Glasgow Rangers, is worth as much as 12 million euros; in addition, they also signed from Cardiff for 4.2 million euros.  18-year-old Welsh right back Guentel.  The teams in the middle of the Premier League standings basically have no desires and no movement in the transfer market. Only a few teams that are struggling to avoid relegation, such as Fulham, Wigan, Sunderland, Derby County, etc., are all  They signed 4 or 5 players in a row in order to counterattack in the remaining three months. For example, newly promoted Birmingham City spent 9 million euros on Everton winger McFadden, and Derby County even more  Hungry, they signed Laurent Robert for free, who had been unemployed for more than half a year. The former Newcastle left winger was nearly 33 years old.  The Premier League¡¯s winter transfer costs are not large, but due to the better economic environment of the Premier League, they are still the most active in the transfer market.  La Liga is the most deserted. Last year, Real Madrid signed Gago, Higuain, Marcelo and other young players in succession in the winter. This time they did not do anything.  There has been little movement from other La Liga teams. Most have chosen to promote young players from the second team for training. The total amount of players they have introduced is less than 30 million euros.  The Serie A winter transfer market seems a bit sluggish due to Inter Milan's dominance in the league. If Juventus hadn't signed Mali midfielder Sissoko from Liverpool for 11 million euros, maybe they wouldn't even have 40 million euros.  Can't spend it.  Although Bundesliga clubs are relatively poor, their total expenditure on recruiting players this winter has caught up with Serie A teams, exceeding 40 million euros. Although many transfers cost hundreds of thousands, since most clubs  They have all participated in this market, so their total spending exceeds the investment of La Liga clubs this winter.  Since other transfer markets are relatively sluggish, competitors except Chelsea, which is far behind, do not spend much. Although Benitez was angry, he did not vent it to the media. After all, the team's current performance is not bad.  Niites doesn't want to ruin the current atmosphere. For him, record is his capital to compete with Rick Barry.  The 25th round was the first game after the winter transfer window closed. In this round, Chelsea challenged Portsmouth, which has been very popular recently. Chelsea, which spent the most on winter transfers, made fans truly understand that money does not necessarily bring success.  Come to the truth of victory, Chelsea, who played away from home, relied on Anelka's goal to break the deadlock, but were constantly suppressed by Portsmouth, and were equalized by Portsmouth at the last minute, losing two points.  Manchester United challenged Tottenham, who spent the second most money on winter transfers, away from home. Tottenham were in good form and led Manchester United by 1 goal at home until the last minute of stoppage time. However, Tevez's goal in the 94th minute finally made Tottenham lose in frustration.  Three points obtained.  Arsenal did not spend a penny on winter transfers, but their performance in the league is always unexpected. With this group of young players, they defeated Manchester City cleanly 3:1 in the away game and temporarily surpassed Liverpool to top the standings? Old rival Manchester United  , Chelsea were tied by their opponents, and Arsenal, who had the same points as themselves, won. This presented Liverpool with both opportunities and dangers. As long as they could win the Black Cat Sunderland, they could continue to lead the Premier League, and they could also pull away their thorn in the side, Manchester United.  A difference of four points.  ?Obviously, Liverpool's consecutive big scores scared Sunderland. Seeing that there was no possibility of winning at Anfield, Sunderland gave up after a little resistance and gave away three points to Liverpool.  Defeating Sunderland made Benitez and Liverpool players and fans breathe a sigh of relief. This game is very crucial for Liverpool. In the next round, which is the 26th round of the league, Liverpool will start a championship battle with Chelsea.  Originally, with Liverpool's condition, Chelsea might not be afraid of playing away games, but after 25 rounds, Liverpool has surpassed Chelsea by 7 points. If Chelsea loses again in this game, Chelsea will almost certainly be eliminated from the championship battle., so Chelsea must fight to the end in this game. Facing the desperate Chelsea, no team dares to claim victory.  However, the biggest difficulty for Liverpool is that their ace striker Chen Yu has to return to China to play in the World Cup qualifiers three days before the game with Chelsea. Chen Yu will have to fly 20,000 kilometers back and forth for this game. How successful can he be by then?  It's really hard to say.  Although Benitez and the club hope that Chen Yu can give up this national team game, there is no way to say this. Chen Yu has not been in the national team for so many years and has just decided to go back. Obviously Chen Yu is determined to play in the national team.  The team has made some achievements. With Chen Yu's age, he really should perform in the national team, otherwise he will have no time. Chen Yu has helped Liverpool win a league championship and the Champions League. Benitez and the top management of Liverpool Club  They all could only acquiesce in Chen Yu's flying and fighting.  In this round of the game, Manchester United was unexpectedly tied by Tottenham, and Chelsea was also drawn by Portsmouth. This gave Liverpool a lot of buffer space, leading Manchester United by 4 points and Chelsea by 7 points. This way, even if Liverpool loses away in the next round  To Chelsea, they can still stay in the title race.
