Revive Liverpool

Chapter 111 Advancement to the League Cup

Liverpool drew with Tottenham in the away game, and they are unbeaten in two rounds of the league. However, before facing Wolves in the next round of the league, Liverpool will first face the third round of the League Cup.

Although the former time and space Liverpool will win the League Cup this season, and this trophy will become the only trophy for Liverpool in more than 7 years.

In the original time and space, Liverpool's next trophy will be the UEFA Champions League trophy in the 2018-19 season.

而在利物浦获得这个联赛杯之前，利物浦获得的上一个奖杯则是2005-06赛季的足总杯冠军（2006-07赛季的社区盾杯以及2017年英超亚洲杯不计算在内）。

For a giant team like Liverpool, there is only one League Cup in more than ten seasons. It can be said that it is very shabby that such a team has almost scored slightly.

英格兰时间9月21日晚间19:45，2011-12赛季英格兰联赛杯第3轮的比赛，利物浦做客南部挑战英冠劲旅“海鸥”布莱顿队。

The last time the two sides met was also in the FA Cup. On January 1991, 1, Liverpool defeated their opponents 30-[-] to advance.

At that time, Liverpool's King Dalglish led the team, and that game was also Dalglish's last cup victory when he coached Liverpool.

The starting lineup arranged by Pochettino is that Keylor Navas is the starting goalkeeper, Martin Kelly and Jack Robinson appear on the two wings on the back line, and Carragher and Manolas are partners in the central defender. This is the first time for the Greek central defender to represent Liverpool.

In the midfield, Lucas and Aquilani's midfielder combination, Maxi Rodriguez and Sterling appeared on the two wings.

Sterling, who has not played for the first team for a long time, finally got the chance to play for the first team again today.

Sterling, who has long been eager to play in the first team, is somewhat dissatisfied with the playing time that manager Mauricio Pochettino has allocated to him.

Although his performance in the game last season was sometimes a bit disappointing, his overall performance in the first team should be good and he scored a lot of goals for the team.

Sterling feels that Pochettino should at least give himself some more opportunities to play this season.

But since the start of the new season, Pochettino not only did not increase his playing time, but greatly reduced his playing time.

I have not made an appearance in the league or the Champions League until now, and it is only now that Pochettino has given himself a chance to start on behalf of the team in the League Cup, which makes Sterling a little puzzled.

Of course, as a young player of the team, Sterling dare not oppose the team's head coach, and he can only keep his grievances in his heart, and cannot release them in public.

Now Sterling can only hope that he can impress the head coach Pochettino with a good performance in the only playing time, and win more playing opportunities for himself.

Up front, Griezmann and Lewandowski.

Maxi Rodriguez scored his first goal in Liverpool this season. Maxi Rodriguez, who scored seven goals in three games in the final league stage last season, is now in the new season, and he can still score in his first game.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. In the 48th minute, Sterling tried another long shot, but the ball was blocked by the defender.

Next, Brighton, who occupied the home court, began to blow the counterattack horn, entered the counterattack time, and began to constantly threaten Liverpool's goal.

Navas, who was extremely leisurely in the first half, finally started to get busy.

In the 50th minute, Brighton tried a left-footed shot in front of the penalty area in the counterattack, and the ball hit the crossbar.

In the 55th minute, Sbarro shot from a small angle on the left rib, and the ball was saved by Navas.

In the 69th minute, Vicente tried a long shot with his left foot from the outside, but the ball still missed.

In the 75th minute, Liverpool made a substitution adjustment. Pochettino replaced Sterling, who had always wanted to express himself, and replaced Dirk.

At the same time, Flanagan was replaced and Martin Kelly was rested.

In the 81st minute, Liverpool expanded the score advantage. In the counterattack, Maxi Rodriguez gave the ball to the right side of Dirk.

The latter faced the goalkeeper calmly and pushed the lower left corner of the goal. The ball hit the left post and went into the net. [-]-[-], Liverpool sealed the victory.

Then Liverpool used up their last substitution spot and replaced Lucas with teenager Spearing.

In the 89th minute, Spilling, who had just played, played with fire in the penalty area and stopped the ball to the home team forward.

Because of Spilling's mistake, Carragher, who was supplementing the defense, accidentally tackled his opponent, and the referee awarded a penalty kick.

Brighton took the penalty from Barnes and hit the dead corner on the left side directly, tying the score at one to two.

However, there were no accidents in the injury time period at the end of the game.

In the end, Liverpool defeated their opponents by a score of [-] to [-] and advanced to the next round of the League Cup without any surprise.
