Chapter 247

Early the next morning, Tang Wu came to Melwood early and received the latest news immediately.

Gerrard didn't want to let himself be reimbursed for half the season just like this. In order to return to the game as soon as possible, he took the initiative to petition the team doctor for surgery.

If the postoperative recovery is good, the Red Army captain can at least regain combat effectiveness before Christmas.

In Gerrard's words, if he can recover one day earlier, he can return to the court one day earlier.Liverpool in the new season cannot live without a captain!

However, the Jie team's injury can be said to have brought a "good head". During this period of time, Liverpool suffered from constant injuries.

"Water? Kewell was injured again?" Tang Wu was a little surprised when he saw Kewell being carried out by his teammates in the gym.

"It's just a thigh strain." Alonso shrugged, "It doesn't look serious."

"Isn't it serious? Will you go to Athens with us?"

"Well, it seems impossible!" Hearing the word "Athens", Alonso finally sighed.

This is Liverpool's third injury this week.

Yesterday, Nunes, who had just returned from an injury in the first training session, actually tore his ligament in his second training session with the Red Army.As part of Irving's transfer, Beitu originally planned to train Nunes as the main force.

But the Spaniard did not live up to expectations, and this time he will be absent for about six weeks.

But Beitu is Beitu, and the simultaneous injuries of the three "main planners" did not disrupt his plan.

On September 9, Benitez came to Athens with his 29.

From Liverpool to Athens, across the whole of Europe, the media therefore compared Liverpool's expedition to a "marathon".

But the British may have forgotten: just one month ago, the famous British long-distance runner Radcliffe did not run the full distance when he ran the marathon in Athens, and she was born in Cheshire, not far from Liverpool.

This is the fourth time for Liverpool to visit Greece as a guest. In the first three times, they were unbeaten with 2 wins and 1 draw. The tie was Olympiacos.

Liverpool beat Monaco 3-0 at home in the last round of the group stage, and Liverpool drew a perfect end to their 100th Champions League game.

Facing a new reincarnation, Beidu desperately hopes that the team can maintain this good momentum in the away game.In the eyes of the Spanish coach, Olympiacos has an enemy who can make the Liverpool team play 120 points.

That's right, that person is the former World Footballer of the Year, Rivaldo.

As a free agent this summer, Rivaldo very much hoped to develop in the Premier League. At that time, his favorite was the Red Army Liverpool.

But considering the Brazilian's 32-year-old age and £8 a week salary, Liverpool rejected Rivaldo's olive branch.

Later, the Brazilian almost joined Bolton in the Premier League, but the reason why he finally gave up his favorite Premier League and took the place of Olympiakos in Greece was that the latter had the opportunity to participate in the Champions League.

For Beitu, he is also very familiar with Rivaldo.

"I know Rivaldo very well and I vividly remember him scoring a hat-trick against Valencia in the last minute of the last game before the end of the season to qualify for the Champions League in 1. Still coaching in Tenerife, that's Rivaldo's quality."

Beidu continued to recall, "Rivaldo and Giovanni both have good ball control and cooperate with each other. Although Rivaldo is not as good as before, he is still quite capable, especially in set pieces. "

Beitu's prediction was indeed accurate, and Rivaldo started the game as the core of Olympiacos' offense.

In just 2 minutes of the opening, he took the lead with a free kick in the frontcourt, but the shot went over the crossbar.

In the 17th minute, Rivaldo took another free kick.This time he opted not to take a shot, but instead used his famous left foot to draw a perfect curve ball and pass the ball to his teammate at the far end.

Stortidis overwhelmed Hyypia and jumped high, headed the ball 9 meters in front of the goal, and headed the ball towards the goal.

At this time, Tang Wu's body's center of gravity was on the other side, and the unexpected attack made him jump up abruptly on the spot, stretching out his fingers with all his strength.

The price of desperately fighting against inertia is that Tang Wu can't get up immediately after falling to the ground, let alone want to fight a carp.

However, the extreme save by Tang Wu's fingertips still played a role. Josemi cleared the ball out of the penalty area before the opponent made a supplementary shot.

The same attack wave after wave, Olympiacos has no fear when facing Liverpool.

Before the game, Olympiacos coach Bajevic made a bold statement: "We can beat any strong opponent, why can't it be the famous Liverpool?"

What's more, this is their home court, and Liverpool is the famous "away bug".

Before the end of the first half, Kafes's header went over the crossbar again, this time even Tang Wu broke out in a cold sweat.The whistle of the bald referee Colina finally relieved the Red Army, and they looked forward to regrouping.

In the second half, even with timely substitutions and adjustments, Rivaldo's ability to control the midfield remained undiminished, and no one could stop him from attacking.

In the 74th minute, Rivaldo passed Hyypia through the crotch and won strong cheers from the home team fans.But his cross was wasted by Georgatos' flak and Liverpool escaped again.

But after only 1 minute, the home team made a comeback again.This time Rivaldo's personal shot hit Tang Wu's arms, and the latter hugged the ball tightly.

At this point in the game, Beitu's three substitutions had been exhausted.Under the command of Tang Wu, Beitu's shout, all the players retreated rapidly. Liverpool intends to use the method of compressing the formation to score a point from the away game.

In this way, the home team's offensive is even more fierce.

In the 83rd minute, Tang Wu's clearance ball almost sent a big gift.His clearance from the wicket line was high but not far, and Georgatos hooked the ball into the wicket, but the ball hit teammate Okkas just wide of the post.

Everyone can see that Liverpool, fighting on two fronts, has reached the end of its battle.The home team may grit their teeth and make the Red Army's entire defensive achievements in vain.

In the 87th minute, the home team got the best chance of the game.

Rivaldo's pass made Hyypia and Riise at a loss. Georgiadis succeeded in turning offside and went solo into the Liverpool penalty area.

Amid the cries of the fans, Tang Wu, who was attacking, threw himself at the feet of Georgiadis. After the latter hesitated for a while between shooting and passing, he found that the ball had been firmly hugged by Tang Wu.

Muting out the dissatisfaction of the fans of the home team with both ears, Tang Wu held the ball tightly until the last second before standing up and taking the ball slowly.

As a goalkeeper, Tang Wu used this method to at least help the Red Army win more than 3 minutes in the second half.

In this way, Liverpool took a valuable point from the visiting team by virtue of their "solid" defense.
