Although the League Cup has been won, if you type in words such as unlucky and miserable in the European football search engine, the only results you can find are likely to be related to Liverpool.
The future is bright, but the road is tortuous.
This sentence may be the message to everyone in Liverpool at present.
After the League Cup victory, Liverpool officially announced the financial situation of the club's operation in the previous year.
The club's net loss was as high as 2190 million pounds, and the debt amount reached 1540 million pounds. This is also the worst annual operating performance in the history of the Liverpool club.
Liverpool general manager Parry explained: "The loss mainly comes from two aspects, the decline in income caused by not being able to participate in the Champions League and the termination fee paid by the club's decision to change the coaching staff."
The breakup between Liverpool and Houllier was expensive. Liverpool paid Houllier a break-up fee of 400 million pounds, while sending away Houllier's coaching staff and the parallel players he introduced like Diouf £670 million for the club.In addition, because Liverpool missed the Champions League last season, their income in the European arena was only a mere £300 million.
Liverpool officially announced the club's business situation at this time, and its purpose is obvious!
We are out of money!
We can't buy players in the winter transfer window!
Yes, Liverpool in the third-line battle cannot rely on Barosch and the immature Pangler. Although Mailer performed well in the League Cup, even the fans dare not let him try to provoke the leader.
Benitez is also very aware of his situation. Under such a financial situation, the transfer fee he can get will be very limited, but after he has experienced the stinginess of the Valencia club, all this seems to be nothing.
"All teams are looking for players in the transfer market and we are no exception. Maybe you have money, but it's no use if you don't have transfer targets. As long as we have targets, money will come. It’s better to have no money than to have money and not know who to buy.”
Such ambiguous speeches can only temporarily delay the anxiety of the fans.
On the streets of Liverpool, many fans even stood up to raise funds for the club.
In any case, they don't want to see the team without a forward available in the second half of the season.
But what annoyed Benitez was that Moyes, the coach of the city rival Everton, seemed to be trying to make things difficult for him. Almost all the players he liked, Moyes stepped in.
Since Everton Club sold Wayne Rooney and achieved excellent results this season, it is said that Manchester United will acquire midfielder Gravesen this winter, so Moyes's checkbook for buying players is by no means thinner than that of Liverpool.
As early as before this season, the Red Army has already started contact with Morientes, and Morientes, who was the top scorer in the Champions League last season, has long been dissatisfied with his embarrassing situation in Real Madrid, and is very yearning to follow his compatriots.
In addition, Crystal Palace's outstanding performance this season, Johansen, and Tottenham's Keane are also players that make Benitez envious.
In addition to the forwards, the Red Army has also accelerated its pace in the signings of defensive players, and is currently actively contacting Lazio defender Negro.Negro's contract expires at the end of this season, and he is also very eager to join the Premier League.
But Morientes, Johansen and Negro are all facing the temptation of Liverpool's rival Everton at the same time, which makes the fans dissatisfied but helpless.
In any case, there is still some time until January, and how Liverpool survive 1 is the most pressing question.
Another reason for the fans to temporarily control their emotions is that the team's current performance is still stable. In the last round of the league, Arsenal was tied away by Crystal Palace and won two consecutive draws after losing to Manchester United; Also got two draws.In other words, Liverpool has not been left behind by the first echelon in the league standings.
With a "lucky" mood, on November 11, in the 13th round of the Premier League, Liverpool played against Crystal Palace at home.
In recent rounds, Crystal Palace's performance was the hottest. They defeated or tied 6 of their 5 opponents one after another, freeing themselves from the danger of relegation in a short period of time.
But Beitu threatened in encouraging morale: "They (Crystal Palace) have reached their highest level this season, and the overall state of the team may begin to decline."
Barosch's thigh strain has almost recovered, but the teenager Pangele is still on the sidelines ready to warm up and debut at any time.
If Liverpool wants to make a big difference in the Champions League, they cannot be left too far behind by their competitors in the league. Therefore, the Red Army has no reason to let an underdog like Crystal Palace go.
Barosh reappeared on the field, which aroused high voices from the fans.
What's interesting is that when Cisse was not injured, fans thought that the two had very similar styles, and there might be repeated running positions and competition for shots; but after Cisse was injured, even if Baros was alone in front On the field, they often had nothing to do and couldn't find good opportunities to score goals. The fans began to miss the days when Cisse was there; but when Baros was also injured and left the field, the fans finally began to panic.
Liverpool has no real striker, so what else can they win?
Fortunately, Baros had only recuperated for more than a week from his thigh strain. When seeing the Czech running on the field again, the fans had the urge to regain their lives.
In this game, Liverpool still has a high chance of winning.
Taking advantage of the home field advantage, the ball is in the opponent's half most of the time.Crystal Palace's occasional counterattacks were also resolved by Tang Wu's large-scale running in time.
In the 74th minute, the teenager Pangele replaced Baros.It was still 0-0 on the field, but Bei Tu was timid.
Barosche's physical condition is not very good. If he is allowed to fight at this time, Liverpool will really have no forwards in the next Champions League.
After seeing Barosch leave the field, the audience in the stands sighed.In their view, if the team makes persistent efforts, the goal may be in the next second.
But this substitution "delayed" the fighter and gave Crystal Palace a chance to breathe.
The teenager Pangele couldn't adapt to Baros' position in a short period of time, so that after the final whistle sounded, the score was still fixed at 0-0.
"Oh! My God! How long has the team not won?" A Liverpool fan looked at the score board helplessly, holding his head.
"Didn't the team just win two days ago?" A woman beside him asked curiously.
"Judy, how can the League Cup be compared with the League Cup?" The male fan didn't even look at his girlfriend. "The last time we came back from Chelsea, we have tied for three times in a row. And the same is true for the Champions League. We have won two games in a row. A draw, and now even qualifying from the group has become confusing."
Arsenal and Chelsea ignored Liverpool's three-game tie. The two teams won their opponents in the 13th round after they also won two consecutive games.
The Gunners narrowly won the North London Derby 5-4, while Chelsea beat Fulham 2-1 on the back of Arjen Robben.
In this game, the Dutch genius passed and shot, and the dazzling record made Mourinho slap his forehead.
If Robben had not been injured in the first two games, then Chelsea would already be the league leader at this time!
Damn TOM cat!
After the game, Mourinho tidied up his collar, intending to remove Tang Wu's disgusted figure from his mind.The good news is that Duff can also return to the team from injury in the next game.
At that time, the blue army will fly with both wings. Who else in the Premier League can stop it?
On November 11, the Riverside Stadium made all those who firmly believed that Liverpool's recovery began to despair again.
0 to 0, once again proved the paleness of this team's offensive power.
Poor Baros, even though he was "hidden" by Beitu in time in the last game, his thigh was unfortunately strained again before the game.This time he was not so lucky, and he couldn't even participate in the Champions League a few days later.Coupled with the short-legged Cisse, Liverpool is completely facing the dilemma of having no front.
In desperation, coach Benitez only put the young Pangele in the starting forward position, hoping that the French teenager will be as amazing as Mailer in the League Cup.
However, Liverpool's "bad luck" did not change because of this. In the 78th minute of the game, Pangler's shot against an empty goal went wide, missing the Red Army's best scoring opportunity of the game.
Before the game, the media and fans gave the team advice one after another.In addition to Mailer, who is the most vocal, the outside world also hopes that Beidu can give Pangler more opportunities.Whether it is the media or the fans, there is a soft spot for whether the club can cultivate golden boys like Irving and Rooney.
But the reality gave everyone a slap in the face. Pangler's empty goal made an old Red Army fan keep crossing his chest: "God, I hope the club will be in the winter window and Everton's "top cow" can win."
