Chapter 1048: .1048 Inspirational return!

Liverpool, Anfield Stadium.
The lights were brilliant and the momentum was undulating.
Liverpool and Basel's Champions League 1/8 finals started as scheduled.
Liverpool did carry out a large-scale rotation, from Sancho on the strike, to Madison and Gondozi in the midfield, to Guerrero, Azpilicueta on the back, and Liverpool’s rotation reverse order. The Red Army fans were extremely excited.
They never stopped chanting Azpilicueta's name in the stands!
This is Azpilicueta's first game since he recovered from his broken leg, even if he had been training with the team a month ago.
For fans and spectators all over the world, they just saw Azpilicueta's return to the field, but did not understand how many reserve games Azpilicueta played behind him. He almost started again until He was recognized by the coaching staff and believed that he was suitable for the first team. Situ Yunbing sent him to the battlefield!
He fell on the Champions League and now he is back on the Champions League stage!
Stand up from wherever you fall!
And today Azpilicueta is wearing the captain's armband!
He definitely has this qualification!
Now the only players on the team that can be older than him are Gareth Bale, Henderson and Casemiro.
Basel was very positive after the start of the game. They obviously came to Anfield with the determination and fighting spirit to win the game.
This did not bother Situ Yunbing.
He likes opponents with impact, if the opponent is a puddle of mud, then the game will be worthless.
Basel's expectations for Liverpool's starting lineup did not fail. Situ Yunbing did not lie to tease them, but Basel did not expect to fall into at Anfield!
Whenever Azpilicueta touches the ball, the Red Army fans will burst out with cheers like a tsunami!
The man who helped Liverpool win four Champions League titles and four league titles, other champions are not counted, only the first two are enough to put Azpilicueta into the Liverpool legendary lineup.
Outsiders may now think that Azpilicueta will never go back to the full impact of the year, and the stubborn and brave state of the side shuttle. It is undeniable that this is a purely competitive measure of his current value.
But in Liverpool, even if they are not fans of the Red Army, ask Everton fans what Azpilicueta means to Liverpool, and they will give an absolutely unimaginable answer.
On the day Azpilicueta, Kanter and Van Dijk joined Liverpool together, the Red Army moved from the top of the Premier League to the top of Europe!
This is the value of Azpilicueta, and his status in the hearts of the Red Army fans should be said to be the second echelon after years of outstanding achievements in the Southern and Northern Wars.
There is only one person in the first echelon, named Situ Yunbing.
There are many in the second tier, Gareth Bale, Van Dijk, Kanter, Casemiro, Azpilicueta, Ter Stegen, Eriksson...
They are a symbol of an era, a representative of brilliance. To retire tomorrow, the day after tomorrow will be a legend, and the day after tomorrow will be a legend.
The terror support created by the Red Army at home will promote better performance of the home team players, and it will also bring pressure to the visiting team to exceed expectations.
Basel is active in offense and defense, but there are not many substantive threats. Although the midfield consisting of Gondozi, Henderson, and Madison is of average strength, it uses nearly engineered space coverage to well protect the defense line.
On the offensive end, Sancho and Sane received relatively little backcourt support. Relying on the cooperation between their personal performance and the striker, Griezmann's performance became relatively critical. He acted as the fulcrum of the team and frequently used the ball to transfer. The offensive also allows Liverpool's offense to be threatened, but the distance to score still depends on the ability to grasp the opportunity.
In Basel's home, Liverpool almost crushed the opponent, which allowed the outside world to see the gap between the strength of the two teams.
Back at Anfield, Liverpool took the initiative to downshift, but today it's a bit hard to distinguish.
The two teams have offensive each other, although the threat is lower, but occasionally there is still a wonderful shot.
The goalkeepers of the two teams performed well today, with a goalless score in the first half.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides to fight again. Anfield Stadium maintained a terrifying home atmosphere. In the 71st minute of the game, Sane pretended to break through the bottom of the front and deceived the opponent's defensive center of gravity. The zone created a threat, the Basel defense appeared flawed, Sane sent a through ball, and Griezmann turned around in the penalty area to shoot the ball into the far corner of the goal!
Liverpool broke the deadlock at home and took a 1-0 lead.
This goal has a high probability to ensure that Liverpool will not lose at home, and Situ Yunbing is also satisfied.
In the remaining 20 minutes of the game, Liverpool and Basel still maintained a fast pace, but the two teams' emphasis on defense has increased significantly.
In the end, Basel failed to equalize the score and Liverpool did not extend the lead anymore. The score of 1:0 was maintained until the end of the game.
Azpilicueta played the whole game and took the initiative to applaud the Red Army fans in the stands after the game.
As long as he touched the ball today, the home team fans cheered for him, which made Azpilicueta's eyes flushed after the game.
After a year, he returned to the first team. The fans not only did not forget him, but also gave him great support and encouragement!
After the game, Azpilicueta was also emotionally moved in an interview: "It is not easy to get out of the shadow of injury, but seeing so many fans supporting me, it makes me extremely Moved, they are the best fans in the world, and one of the reasons why my teammates and I have become stronger and brave.
I have gained everything here, but I still want to fight for the club, for this team, for the fans here, until the day I can't run! "
Situ Yunbing also talked about Azpilicueta's return in an interview after the game.
"We will not rush a player who has experienced a serious injury into the roster. That is irresponsible performance. Winning is our goal, but there are prerequisites. First of all, we must take care of the players’ Responsible for life!
The return of Azpilicueta inspired everyone, including every player, fan, and me!
I once said that Liverpool have no fear of injury, even if we bleed, the scar will eventually become a hard part of us!
Many people think I'm talking big.
But my players have proved with practical actions that our success is not only because we are strong on paper, but also because the mental attributes of this team are the strongest!
If we want to send positive signals to the outside world through football, I think Azpilicueta did this well. He is a brave fighter who not only fights opponents on the pitch, but never hurts. Ill surrender, surrender!
This inspires each of us.
Someone will definitely say that this injury will make Azpilicueta's athletic strength decline. I will not deny this, but from the perspective of life, I think Azpilicueta will become stronger!
He proved that he is stronger than too many people, because many people will become vulnerable, decadent, and self-defeating under the influence of injuries.
But Azpilicueta is the best model for all those people who face difficulties, difficulties, and suffered sudden and severe blows! "
Situ Yunbing's words came from the bottom of his heart.
If he does not have this ten years of coaching experience, as an ordinary person, if he suffers a major blow, then he is likely to fall into disrepair.
Just as he wanted to retreat and quit when he encountered setbacks when he was just coaching, even if the world is flooded, it doesn't matter if he is self-destructive.
Perhaps Azpilicueta earns millions of pounds a year as a professional player, in the eyes of many people, this will not have much impact on his life.
If Azpilicueta was a deserter and stopped playing after he recovered from his injury, then his story really stopped: he retired due to injury.
But he worked hard, strong, and bravely, just to return to the game, which has nothing to do with his material life.
Football is the dream of these players, the only thing outside of life.
Situ Yunbing believes that many fans who love Liverpool and support Azpilicueta will be greatly inspired by it.
Liverpool eliminated Basel with a total score of 5:0 and advanced to the top 8 of the Champions League!
One day later, several other Champions League 1/8 finals ended!
5 Premier League teams reached the top 16 of the Champions League, and as a result, there were 3 Premier League games in the 1/8 finals!
All the media on Fleet Street are criticizing these three eliminated Premier League teams!
It also happens to be the Premier League’s current four groups!
There is nothing unexpected about Chelsea being eliminated by Barcelona.
Manchester United was knocked out by Sevilla at home and was criticized by all means!
Tottenham were beaten by Juventus in White Hart Lane in the excellent situation of a 2:2 away draw with Juventus in the first round!
Only Liverpool and Arsenal advanced to the Champions League quarter-finals!
The number advantage of the Premier League is of little significance after all. The Champions League is a stage to test hard power!
Perhaps the three teams competing for the four groups did cause the UEFA Champions League to be eliminated because of the huge pressure in the league, but from Fleet Street, Liverpool and Arsenal are under more pressure!
Of course, Arsenal had already relieved some of the pressure in the league before the second round of the knockout.
However, Klopp's performance in leading the team this year has been unanimously recognized, at least the record in the league is outstanding, and the Champions League has advanced to the quarter-finals, which is enough to give fans an account.
On Thursday night, the results of the Champions League quarterfinals were announced.
Liverpool's opponent is French giants Paris Saint-Germain.
Arsenal's opponent is Sevilla, who eliminated Manchester United in the previous round.
Fleet Street thinks this matchup is good for Liverpool and Arsenal.
Paris Saint-Germain does have a luxurious lineup, but compared with Liverpool, it may not have an advantage in hard power, and at the same time it is far from experience!
As for Sevilla wanting to pass the Arsenal level, I am afraid Klopp will not agree!
Arsenal are now betting all their bets on the UEFA Champions League!
