Chapter 334

Chapter 334

On November 11th, in the 29th round of the Premier League, Liverpool played against Stoke City at home.

Stoke City is currently ranked 12th in the Premier League, a standard mid-range team ranking.

But Liverpool dare not say that they can win for sure.

Liverpool has not won four consecutive rounds recently. Except for one Chelsea, the other three teams are also mid-lower teams. Liverpool has not failed to win.

But Li Chenglong really wants to win the game. One is to end the damn streak, and the other is that he has just entered the three-man list of the Golden Globe Awards.

So in the locker room before the game, Li Chenglong personally stood up to boost morale.

"Guys, we haven't won in so long, if it keeps going like this, I'm going to forget what it's like to win."

"Today's game, we must go all out, we must get that damn three-pointer, and everyone will regain the feeling of winning together."

At the time of admission, as Lee Cheng-long, who had just entered the three-man list of the Golden Globe Awards, he was once again cheered by the fans.

"King Bruce~~~King Bruce!!"

Liverpool fans also began to call him King Bruce more and more.

Maybe it was because Jackie Chan's pre-match cheering had an effect. After the game started, the team quickly took the initiative on the court.

Just 3 minutes into the game, Lee Jackie received a pass from Coutinho and tested the opponent's goal with a header.

But Stoke City's Bosnian goalkeeper Begovic reacted quickly and flew to save the ball.

In the 9th minute, after Sterling barely broke into the penalty area, under the confrontation with the opponent's defender Shawcross, he successfully completed the goal and hit the opponent's goal post.

Sterling is a kid, he always hits the plane with simple balls, but he plays decently with this kind of difficult balls.

This is probably talent.

Liverpool had the advantage of the scene, but it took a lot of time to break the deadlock.

In the 29th minute, Li Chenglong dribbled the ball, passed the opponent's midfielder Nzongzi and defender Wilson in a row, then dunked the ball, deceived the opponent's goalkeeper, and then used his left foot to complete the goal.

The goal filled the Anfield stadium with cheers.

During the recent period, Liverpool's performance has been poor, and the only thing they can count on is Jackie Lee.

This time, Jackie Lee did not disappoint the expectations of the fans and stood up again to break the deadlock.

After this goal, Liverpool has not been able to find a chance to expand the score.

It wasn't until the 78th minute of the second half that Glen Johnson's long-range shot scored to help Liverpool seal the victory.

In this way, Liverpool won Stoke City 2-0 at home, ending their four consecutive Premier League winless rounds.

Relying on this victory, Liverpool's ranking has improved by one place and came to No.5 in the Premier League.

At the same time, neither Aguero nor Costa scored in this round. With this goal, Lee Chenglong also caught up with Aguero's goals and tied for the top scorer list of the Premier League with 12 goals.

In the current Premier League standings, the top four are Chelsea, Manchester City, Southampton and Manchester United. Their points are 33, 27, 26, and 22 respectively. Liverpool currently has 21 points, which is only 4 points away from No.[-] Manchester United. Just one point.

After the 13th round of the Premier League, the next 14th round is scheduled in the middle of the week.

On December 12, the Liverpool team came to Leicester in central England, where they will challenge the newly promoted Fox City.

This game will be the first time the two Dundee United strikers, Jackie Chan and Vardy, have played against each other.

Although Jackie Lee didn't pay much attention to this, Vardy did. Before the game started, he kept talking and bragging, saying that he wanted to make Liverpool look good at home.

But after the game started, the court was completely one-sided.

Jackie Chan, Gerrard, Henderson and Lallana, who came off the bench, each scored a goal to help Liverpool beat Leicester City 4:1 away.

Vardy wanted to express himself too much in the game, he kept taking the ball and wasting opportunities, and his performance was quite bad.

"Hey, Jamie, don't be so sad, a game doesn't mean anything."

Li Chenglong went to comfort Vardy after the game and took the initiative to exchange jerseys with him.

Li Chenglong also understood to some extent that as the two generations of Dundee United, Vardy still had some obsessions in his heart and wanted to prove himself by defeating him.

But he failed, and the current strength of Leicester City simply does not allow him to do so.

After four consecutive rounds of invincibility, Liverpool finally broke their demons and ushered in two consecutive victories.

However, Manchester United also won this round smoothly, and Liverpool can only stay in the No.5 position.

Instead, Arsenal defeated Southampton 1:0, which made Liverpool only 2 points away from Southampton, the dark polo team, within one game.

In the next round, Liverpool will have a great chance to return to the top four, because Manchester United will play against Southampton directly, and there must be a team that will lose points.

On December 12th, in the 6th round of the Premier League, Liverpool faced the black cats Sunderland at home.

As long as Liverpool win this game, they will definitely be able to return to the top four, regardless of the results of Manchester United and Southampton.

But at the same time, in the middle of the week after this game, it will be the last round of the Champions League group stage, Liverpool's Champions League life and death battle.

After a fierce ideological struggle, Rogers still arranged a rotation to let the main players such as Lee Jackie Chan and Gerrard take a rest, and everything was focused on qualifying for the Champions League.

In fact, Rogers also thought about it. Even if the lineup is rotated, the team will have a high probability of winning the game. Sunderland is just a relegation team.

If that is the case, everyone is happy.

However, the reality didn't do what he wanted.

Liverpool was unable to start the game at Anfield for a long time, and when they played more and more anxiously, Lucas received a red card for a reckless foul in the second half, and the team became one player less.

This time the game is really difficult, and in the end I can only accept a 0:0 draw with the opponent at home.

In other games at the same time, Manchester United defeated Southampton 2:1 away and successfully promoted the ranking to third place.

Liverpool missed a good chance to enter the top four because they failed to win the game.

"Don't be discouraged, everyone. The Premier League is still very long, and there will be opportunities in the future. What we have to do now is to win the Champions League steadily. As long as we reach the knockout round, everything is worth it..."

These are the words Rogers comforted everyone after the game.

In the last two rounds, Aguero has scored two goals, while Lee has only one goal.

So in the latest Premier League scorer list, Aguero returned to the top of the list with 14 goals, Lee Sung-yong ranked second with 13 goals, Diego Costa was recently injured and has not scored, so his number of goals is still 11 indivual.
