Revive Liverpool

Chapter 310 The old club

In the away game against his old club, Pochettino said in an interview after the game: "We are disappointed with the result. I think the draw is a fair result for both parties. It was a great game and we played well, but this is football and we need to look forward."

Chelsea beat Everton [-]-[-] at home this round.

The two teams continue to bite tightly in the standings.

……

Liverpool ushered in the 5th round of the FA Cup on the weekend, and they will be a guest to challenge the Premier League team Crystal Palace.

Because this game is over, Liverpool's European war is about to begin, and this season Liverpool obviously does not want to give up the Champions League so easily.

So you know.

At the same time, this game is also Salah's first game on behalf of Liverpool.

Although Salah did not score a goal in the first game on behalf of Liverpool, and his overall performance was not very good, but there is no problem, after all, he has not yet integrated into the team.

However, this deal is still a bit of a loss for Liverpool in the eyes of many outsiders.

After all, Sterling has just won the Golden Boy Award, so it can be said that the future is promising.

Before Salah came to the Premier League, he was still a rising star in European football.

But after coming to Chelsea, because of sitting on the bench, he has lost his voice recently, and his future has some shadows.

Now coming to Liverpool, he still faces this problem, and he may still sit on the bench.

He still needs to compete to get a position, but the intensity of this competition is much less intense than Chelsea, and the possibility of long-term talent is much greater, but even this may not be able to grow to the level of Sterling.

Moreover, Sterling also has a household registration bonus. Even if the two are at the same level at that time, in the eyes of the English media, Sterling is better.

Of course, this should still be regarded as a transfer fee of 4000 million pounds.

This will be the time for him to show his talents. If he can't perform well, maybe he may not have a chance to play Liverpool in the future.

Li Nan intends to step down from the position of chairman of Liverpool at the end of this season.

So Li Nan will no longer be Salah's back. If Salah does not perform well, he is likely to be abandoned by the team, and he will have no fate with Liverpool.

After that, Salah performed another god-like performance, maybe Liverpool will become the team that was ridiculed for not being discerning.

Wu Lei also has the same situation as Salah.

Wu Lei has performed well recently. He has gained a firm foothold in Leverkusen and has performed well. He may come to Liverpool next time and play for Liverpool.

The contract signed by Liverpool and Wu Lei still has one season after this season, but Liverpool has not found Wu Lei to renew the contract for a long time.

Although Wu Lei is now the only Chinese player studying abroad, the sign of the only Chinese player studying abroad has just begun to work.

Although there were many football markets in China before, they are still developing slowly.

Thanks to the rapid economic development, it was probably around 2014 to 2015 that China's football market began to prosper.

Take the Chinese Super League as an example. In 2015, Tiyao Power purchased the Chinese Super League and all media copyrights at a price of 5 billion yuan over five years. In 80, the copyright price was upgraded to 2018 billion yuan over 10 years. The broadcasting rights of the Chinese Super League rose sharply.

In 2014, the sponsorship amount of the Chinese Super League nearly doubled.

The football market is gradually prospering, and Wu Lei's value will gradually begin to be reflected, but now it is also time to reap the fruits, and Li Nan will leave Liverpool like Pochettino.

Who will pick the fruit of Wu Lei?
Anyway, it's not Li Nan, so it's not certain whether it will be Liverpool.

If you miss it, this may be where Liverpool will be ridiculed, and you missed such a golden mountain.

However, everything has its own destiny, and when Li Nan leaves Liverpool, it has nothing to do with him.

I just need to bury Liverpool's management while drinking, laugh at them for being "stupid", "have no vision", and "bragging", saying: "If I were the chairman of Liverpool, I would definitely keep these two people."

……

Liverpool reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, and the quarter-finals of the Champions League knockout round came as scheduled.

Liverpool's first knockout game will be away to Basel.

In this game, Salah also went out with the team, although he will basically sit on the bench.

There is no particular reason for Liverpool to bring Salah. They just want to bring Salah back to see his old club. After all, he is not bad for this person.

Salah is already familiar with the St. Jacobs Park Stadium, so Liverpool brought Salah here. There is no reason to hope that Salah will help Liverpool adapt to the venue faster.

The two teams had also faced each other before this encounter. It was still the 2002-03 season, and they had just moved to this home court.

This home court is a blessed place for them. Before moving to this home court, they experienced a period of low ebb for more than 20 years.

After moving to this home stadium, Basel's record was greatly reversed. In 2002, it won the league and the Swiss Cup double championship, becoming the second Swiss team in history to advance to the Europa League group stage.

Then there was the first meeting between the two teams, and then Basel was second only to Valencia as the second in the group, and beat the last Europa League champion Liverpool to qualify and enter the second round of the group stage.

……

The game officially begins.

In the 10th minute, Fabian Frey sent a long pass in the midfield. Under the double-teaming of two defenders, Dries Gonzalez entered the penalty area and sent the ball from the goalkeeper's armpit to the goal with the outer instep of his right foot as soon as he fell to the ground.One to zero!

In the 48th minute of the second half, Liverpool took a right corner kick, Manolas' header was saved, and Kanter made a supplementary shot through the net.

The referee of this game, Clattenburg, pointed to the center circle at the first time, but it was delayed for at least 2 minutes. He discussed with the line referee and finally believed that the two Liverpool players in the offside position blocked the goalkeeper's sight. Liverpool benefited from this and the goal was invalid.

After this kind of goal, the goal is valid and then the goal is changed to invalid. In the absence of VAR, it can only be said that Clattenburg is too "brave" to make such a change!He is not afraid that the Liverpool players will beat him to death on the spot.

Fortunately, in the 78th minute, Samuel handballed in the penalty area, and the referee Clattenburg awarded a penalty.

Gerrard accurately kicked the ball into the bottom left corner of the goal.One to one, Liverpool finally equalized the score.
