As we all know, Liverpool is the team with the best performance in the European War in England.
This is the pride of all Red Army fans.
However, they also have an unacceptable record, that is, they have not won the Premier League championship since the establishment of the Premier League.
This is for For Liverpool, Europe's top giants who are not familiar with foreign wars, it is simply a failure.
Therefore, Liverpool's senior management invited Benitez, who led Valencia to win the league championship and the UEFA Cup in the summer of 2004.
There is no doubt that the first season was amazing.
When the league championship was missed, he led Liverpool defeated six players in five Champions League matches, especially the shocking comeback in Istanbul, which made people around the world realize the resilience of this English giant team.
But now, this Liverpool team has gradually lost itself.
Whether it is in the Champions League or the league, it has not achieved satisfactory results.
Therefore, during the Christmas period, the team's top management gave Benitez an ultimatum, or the league Championship or Champions League, if you can’t win it, get out.
After some exaggeration by the media, many Liverpool players felt tremendous pressure, especially Mascherano and Torres.
Neither of them showed their due strength in the game against Chelsea.
Mascherano Needless to say, Llano was like a wooden stake when defending Aiello, while Torres was unable to use his simple and fast kicking characteristics when facing Chelsea's muscular men's close defense, thus facing Chelsea in Liverpool In seven games, only two goals were scored.
Against the background of huge pressure, Liverpool players once again sought a war of words with Chelsea players in an attempt to disrupt the opponent's concentration on the game.
When Mascherano was interviewed by reporters this time, he took the initiative to talk about how to defend Ai Luo.
He said viciously: "In the past games, Ai Luo has always been the standout, but I believe it will not be him this time. " Faced with Mascherano's fierce and confident answer, the London media did not take it seriously.
It has been verified in countless games in the past.
Didn't he always say this in interviews with reporters?
People are hard to break down.
However, Mascherano's next words made the London media go crazy, and even wiped a cold sweat for Aiello.
"I won't be polite to him.
This is the knockout round of the Champions League.
It's a battlefield.
If I have a chance, I will tackle his legs."
Gerrard, who was communicating with his teammates at the training ground, frowned instinctively when he heard Mascherano's answer.
He was obviously a little dissatisfied with the Argentine's words.
As a Liverpool man, he should be passionate, but It seemed too stingy to blatantly say that I would tackle his leg in the subsequent interview.
If Aiello was really tackled by Mascherano during the game, Mascherano would not only do it.
Become the target of everyone's criticism, and Liverpool will be pushed to the forefront.
This is not a good sign.
So Gerrard is going to have a talk with Mascherano after training.
The news from the Melwood training base was quickly passed to the Cobham training base.
Before the person involved, Aiello, could speak, Ballack said viciously in the next interview with The Times: "Tackling Ai's leg haha then I It can only be said that he is not suitable for playing football.
He can participate in international violent fighting.
That is his battlefield."
The Brazilian Lucas, who is likely to replace Xavi Alonso due to injury, heard the response from the Chelsea players.
He was not afraid of tigers as a newborn and said excitedly: "Chelsea with its bus driver and big talker is really impressive.
It's disgusting but we firmly believe that a disgusting team cannot win at Anfield."
In this way, in the war of words between the players of both sides, the first leg of the 2008-2009 Champions League 14 finals slowly unfolded.
The first two matches in the top half of the 14th round were played.
Valencia drew with Arsenal 1:1 at home despite being at an absolute disadvantage.
The result of the other 14th round match was beyond everyone’s expectations.
Manchester United unexpectedly They were tied 2:2 at home by Porto.
The Champions League 14 finals of Liverpool vs Chelsea and Barcelona vs Bayern Munich kicked off on time at 8:45 pm the next day.
The moment Chelsea players stepped into Anfield, the Liverpool fans in the stands burst into loud boos.

This situation continued until the official start of the game.
Of course, this also happens when Chelsea players have the ball.
This is a way for Liverpool fans to express their dislike of Chelsea and their loyalty to Liverpool.
But this behavior of Liverpool fans has no use at all except making disgusting noise.
So much so that the reporters who came to the scene felt very speechless, so they did not let them know for a period of time after the game started.
After picking up my energy, I just pressed the shutter in my hand vaguely based on my own feeling.
The game lasted for more than ten minutes before the reporters on the scene who were lying on the railings could see it.
When Mascherano was defending Aiello head-on, he finally used the defensive action of shining his spikes, which immediately caused a commotion among the players on both sides of the court.
Even Mourinho, who was standing off the court, shouted at Benitez next to him.
Insults were shouted, and the coaches of both teams also had friction on the sidelines.
Ballack, who was sitting on the bench, had the most violent reaction.
He rushed directly to the sidelines and yelled at Mascherano, but because huge boos erupted from all sides of Anfield's stands, his voice could not be heard at all.
It didn't reach the ears of many people involved.
"This game is interesting."
Looking at this scene on and off the field, the commentator in the live studio said.
But more people are concerned about whether Aiello is okay.
Huang Jianxiang frowned and said: "According to the slow-motion replay, when Mascherano put the shovel in front of him, there was a movement of lifting his feet.
This is very It's dangerous.
If Ai Luo hadn't judged in advance that there was a take-off action, then he would have been in trouble.
I believe he will be fine."
"Javier Mascherano's tackle was very brutal, and it felt like it was heading straight for Ai's face."
Lineker's tone was filled with dissatisfaction.
After a short treatment, Aiello stood up again, which also made many fans who cared about him breathe a sigh of relief.
"Ai, be careful, you may be targeted by the Argentinian mad dog."
Modric patted Aiello on the shoulder and said while covering his mouth.
Aiello turned his head to look at Mascherano meaningfully and said with a smile: "If he really treats me like he did before the game, then Liverpool has already lost half."
Mascherano, who was lining up against the wall at the request of goalkeeper Reina, seemed to feel someone's eyes on him, so he turned his head and looked over based on his feeling, and happened to meet Aiello's eyes.
Soon, he He gritted his teeth and even wanted to go up and beat Ai Luo.
Because he felt that Ai Luo was provoking him Thinking of the competition in the past ten games, where he had become Ai Luo's green leaf, the unknown fire in his heart burned.
"Javier, calm down, otherwise the team will be very passive."
At this moment, captain Gerrard's voice reached Mascherano's ears, and at the same time he felt a weight on his shoulder.
Mascherano turned his head and glanced at Gerrard, and then realized that he had just received a yellow card.
If he couldn't drive out the negative emotions, he would become the team's sinner, even if the main player No matter how much coach Benitez loves him, he cannot avoid criticism from fans and the media.
In addition, Benitez is now unable to protect himself.
Therefore, he nodded, agreeing with Gerald's point of view.
"Why" On the other side, Modric asked blurtly.
"You'll know later."
Aiello looked at Mascherano and Gerrard not far away and said over his shoulder.
After finishing speaking, Aiello jogged towards Liverpool's penalty area to prepare for the set kick.
The distance was too far and too far for his free kick characteristics.
However, after taking only two steps, he was temporarily asked to leave by the referee.
Immediately, he realized that as long as he received treatment from the team doctor on the playing field, he could not participate in the ongoing offense or defense.
Two minutes later, Aiello broke through with the ball in Liverpool's half.
Mascherano was cautious when defending Aiello because he already had a yellow card.
Aiello feinted with his right foot above the football, and his upper body moved to the left.

Mascherano had to throw his body out in order to maintain his defensive position, but Aiello slammed the ball and stopped it in place.
Mascherano had no time to brake, so he had no choice but to use foul methods to defend Aiello, and pulled the jersey behind his back with his left hand.
But at this moment, he suddenly thought that he was carrying a yellow card, and his left hand that had already pulled on the jersey relaxed.
cut inside "Oops" The local Liverpool TV commentator looked at the camera and exclaimed.
As soon as he finished speaking, Brazilian Lucas made a fierce sliding tackle from the side.
Aiello alertly poked the ball forward, then jumped up, only to be kicked by the toe of Lucas' shoe.
Fell on the turf.
"Liverpool's players really fought hard for this game.
Less than a quarter of an hour into the game, two defensive midfielders, Mascherano and Lucas, tackled Aiello one after another."
Andy said to Lei Wrinkle He said with a frown, but when he saw the yellow card shown by the referee, his words changed: "Oh, the yellow card is definitely Chelsea's opportunity.
Not even a quarter of an hour into the game, Liverpool's two defensive midfielders were defending.
Ai’s breakthrough received a yellow card” Benitez stood on the court with a normal expression, but he was sweating heavily behind his back.
He knows Ai Luo's strength better than anyone else.
It would be no exaggeration to say that the past seven consecutive defeats were directed by Ai Luo.
Now that both defensive midfielders have received yellow cards, it means that the defense in the middle will most likely collapse:
