Revive Liverpool

Chapter 127 Victory over Dortmund
"Sky Sports" gave Glenn Johnson a game-high score of 8 points, and praised him for his perfect performance from receiving Adam's pass to the final goal: a perfect stop, a beautiful dunk over Ashley Cole, avoiding Malouda's harassment, a left-footed shot to beat Petr Cech, and Terry's goal line rescue was of no avail.

When talking about why Maxi Rodriguez was suddenly used after the game, Pochettino appeared to be downplaying, "It's time to let him go, Maxi, he likes London, he likes the temperature here, he is a great player.

He has a high professionalism and knows how to cooperate.

Just watch the game and you can see how good he is. "

The mutual record between the five giants (Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea) in the Premier League so far:
Liverpool first defeated Arsenal 3-2 away, and then drew 1-7 at home with Manchester United. This time, they defeated Chelsea [-]-[-] at Stamford Bridge, leading with [-] points in [-] games, [-] wins and [-] draw.

Manchester United beat Arsenal 4-2 at home, Chelsea 1-1 at home, Liverpool 7-2 away, Manchester City [-]-[-] at home, [-] games, [-] wins, [-] draw and [-] loss with [-] points, ranking second.

Manchester City: 3 to 3 Manchester United away, but they have only played one battle between giants so far, scored [-] points and ranked third.

Arsenal: Lost 3-1 at home to Liverpool, 2-3 away to Manchester United, 4-[-] away to Chelsea, [-] points with [-] win and [-] losses, ranking [-]th.

Chelsea: Lost to Manchester United 3-0 in the away game. Chelsea was reversed by Arsenal 0-3 at home. Now they lost [-]-[-] at home to Liverpool. [-] games, [-] wins, [-] draws and [-] losses ranked at the bottom of the list.

Liverpool's record in the civil war ("little league") battle between the five giants is still pretty good.

However, when Liverpool faced weak teams or even newly promoted teams, they already had one loss and one draw.

Although the performance looks good, compared with Manchester United, Manchester City and even Chelsea, who are competing for the championship together, they are far behind.

It is precisely because of this that Manchester United can rank ahead of Liverpool and become No.2 in the Premier League.

Of course, it may also be related to Liverpool's failure to meet Manchester City, which ranks first in the standings, but Liverpool's next Premier League opponent happens to be Manchester City, which is currently ranked first in the Premier League.

But before that, Liverpool still have a Champions League group stage to play.

Liverpool will sit at home against visiting Dortmund. If Liverpool can win this game, they will qualify one round ahead of schedule.

For Dortmund, if they can't win against Liverpool in this game.

So if Marseille, which is also at home against Olympiacos, wins or even draws and only gets one point, then Dortmund's Champions League road this season will come to an end.

If Dortmund and Marseille win at the same time, then there is still a glimmer of hope for Dortmund to qualify for the group stage. As long as Dortmund can beat Marseille with a four-goal advantage at home, then Dortmund will be able to enter the knockout round of the Champions League.

At 23:20 on the 45rd, England time, the fifth round of this season's Champions League group stage continued. In a focus match, Liverpool ushered in the challenge of last season's Bundesliga champion Borussia Dortmund at home.

In this game, Liverpool made another attempt, with Griezmann, Lewandowski and Suarez forming a trident.

In the midfield, De Bruyne and Meireles plus Aquilani form the midfield.

The defenders are Danny Rose, David Luiz and Agger at centre-back, plus Glenn Johnson.

Only 3 minutes into the game, De Bruyne passed Griezmann from the front of the midfield, and the Frenchman took advantage of the situation and missed the goal.

In the 5th minute, Shinji Kagawa tried a long shot 25 meters away from the goal and was confiscated by Navas.

In the 11th minute, Glenn Johnson made a cross from the right, and Suarez headed the goal and got it by Weidenfeller.

In the 22nd minute, De Bruyne went straight to help Suarez get a single shot, and Weidenfeller attacked in time to resolve the danger.

Three minutes later, the 3-year-old Leitner replaced the injured Sven Bender.

In the 29th minute, Croatian international Perisic replaced Gotze with a thigh injury. Dortmund used up two substitutions in the first half an hour.

Although losing two main players in a row, Dortmund did not have any defensive loopholes. Liverpool's offensive effect was not good. Griezmann's several wing raids ended in failure.

At the end of the first half, the two sides tied at [-]-[-].

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again. Liverpool quickly broke the deadlock. In the 50th minute, Griezmann ran 40 meters from the left and passed 4 players and then sent a precise cross. Suarez scored a header and broke Dortmund's goal. Liverpool led [-]-[-]!

In the 53rd minute, Schmelzer got the first yellow card of the game for infringing on Suarez. The young German international will also miss the next game because of accumulated yellow cards.

In the 60th minute, Liverpool wasted a good chance to score. Meireles volleyed a pass to help Lewandowski form a single goal. Although the Pole in poor form passed Weidenfeller, Hummels, who was defended back, blocked the ball out of the bottom line.

Then Dortmund coach Klopp used the last substitution spot, he replaced the veteran Kyle with Paraguayan striker Barrios.

In the 74th minute, Liverpool used the first substitution quota. Veteran Dirk Dirk was replaced by Lewandowski, who was in poor condition and had been invisible in today's game.

In the 83rd minute, Pochettino replaced Agger, who performed steadily throughout the game, with Skrtel.

Two minutes later, Liverpool was making substitution adjustments and replaced Suarez with Henderson. The Liverpool fans at home gave Suarez applause.

Even though Suarez was exposed to racial discrimination a few days ago, Liverpool who came to the scene still gave Suarez applause.

In the 86th minute, Liverpool expanded the score, De Bruyne took a corner kick, David Luiz nodded and then rubbed, Griezmann scored from the back, [-]-[-]!
Griezmann scored again for Liverpool in the Champions League.

In the 92nd minute, the Japanese genius Kagawa Shinji's shot brought Dortmund back to a goal, and Dortmund was [-]-[-].

At the end of the game, Liverpool lived up to their home advantage, successfully defeated Dortmund, and entered the Champions League knockout round one round ahead of schedule.

The good news for Dortmund is that Marseille, which has the advantage of home court, failed to beat Olympiacos at home, accidentally overturned, and lost to Olympiacos [-]-[-].

Then the qualifying situation in Group F became complicated in an instant. Dortmund, Olympiacos, and Marseille all have a chance to qualify.
