Chapter 325: Premier League Nemesis

After the Premier League, Liverpool will prepare for the Champions League.
　　 On September 30, the second round of the Champions League group stage, the Liverpool team came to Basel, the third largest city in Switzerland.
　　 is said to be the third largest city, but in fact it is just a small city with a population of over 100,000.
　　 The Basel club is the dominant team in the Swiss League. It has now completed five consecutive championships in the Swiss League, and it seems that there is no intention to stop.
　　Because of this, Basel is also a frequent visitor in the European competition, regardless of the Champions League or the European Union, they can always be seen.
　　 Although they can always play in Europe, Basel, as a small league team, is not very competitive.
　　The best result of Basel in the Champions League is the semi-finals, and the best result of the Europa League is the semi-finals, a standard small league team in the European war.
　　 But one thing to note is that the Basel team has a nickname-the Premier League nemesis.
　　 In the Champions League, Basel has caused a lot of trouble for the Premier League giants.
　　 In the UEFA Champions League season, when Basel and Manchester United were assigned to a group, they beat Manchester United 2:1 at home in the final round of the group stage and sent the Red Devils who could qualify for a tie to the Europa League.
　　 In the Champions League this season, that is, the Champions League last season, Basel and Chelsea were divided into a group. Although Basel failed to qualify in the group, they managed to double the Blues at home and away, making Chelsea very embarrassed.
　　Actually, Egyptian Pharaoh Salah was able to join Stamford Bridge by virtue of his outstanding performance in two rounds of double killing Chelsea, but he is still sitting on the bench.
　　 Nowadays, Liverpool also meets Basel in the Champions League group stage, and there are indeed many English media who are worried about Liverpool.
　　 At present, this group already has a strong opponent of Real Madrid. If Liverpool can't get the desired result in the face of Basel, it is possible that they will be squeezed out by Basel and miss the qualifying group.
　　 At the St. Jakob Park in Basel, Liverpool’s game is really difficult to play.
　　 Lee Chenglong seemed to have been infected with the happiness factor by Sterling, and wasted a great opportunity to score a goal in the opening 5 minutes.
　　 He received a pass from Gerrard near the penalty spot and pushed it, and actually pushed the ball on the crossbar.
　　 Liverpool missed this opportunity to score a goal, which seems to make Basel more confident, they played quite well at home.
　　 Liverpool dominated the scene a bit, but could not find a chance to score, but the opponent's counterattack was very threatening.
　　 The two sides reached a 0-0 tie in the first half, but in the 52nd minute of the second half, Basel relied on the opportunity of counterattack. Their striker Streler finished the goal and took the lead in the score.
　　 It seems that the Swiss team is going to continue to carry forward the style of their Premier League nemesis.
　　 Then Basel contracted the defense and Liverpool had nothing to do for a long time.
　　 So at the last moment, Jackie Lee had to come out to solve the problem.
　　 In the 85th minute, Li Chenglong unloaded the ball from the front of the penalty area with a beautiful high altitude, steadily unloading the high ball passed by Mignole from the backcourt under his feet, and then swinging his leg on the spot for a long shot.
　　 The ball was shot in a beautiful arc, bypassing the fingertips of the opponent goalkeeper Vaclik, and flew into the upper right corner of the goal.
　　 Lee Chenglong once again completed a wonderful goal to help the team level the game, while also allowing goalkeeper Mignolet to get an assist.
　　※※※
　　 Liverpool drew 1:1 with Basel in Switzerland, which is not an ideal score.
　　 However, considering the opponent's Premier League nemesis attributes, Liverpool tied the game with the score behind. This result is quite acceptable.
　　 In another game in the same group, Real Madrid defeated Ludogorets 2:1 away.
　　 In this case, Real Madrid topped the list with two consecutive victories and 6 points, and Liverpool ranked second with one win and one tie with 4 points.
　　 Generally speaking, although the second round of the group stage is not ideal, Liverpool is still in a relatively safe position for the time being.
　　 But the next two rounds will be a direct confrontation between Liverpool and Real Madrid. These two games are very important.
　　 If Liverpool still wants to overtake Real Madrid to become the first in the group, it must perform well in the two games against Real Madrid, at least one win and one draw are qualified.
　　 Even if Liverpool do not consider the issue of fighting for the first place in the group, they should try their best to score points on Real Madrid to avoid double kills.
　　 If Liverpool are double-killed by Real Madrid, and Basel has double-killed Ludogorets in two rounds, then Liverpool will be overtaken by Basel in points, and there will be danger if they are not careful.
　　 But the third and fourth rounds of the group stage are still early, so you can let them go for now.
　　 In other matches in the second round of the Champions League group stage, Atletico won Juventus 1:0 at home, and Paris defeated Barcelona 3:2 at home. These are the two most focused battles.
　　At the same time, the other three teams in the Premier League game, Arsenal beat Galatasaray 4:1 at home, and Chelsea beat Sporting Lisbon 1-0 at home, which are ideal results.
　　 But Manchester City drew 1:1 with Roma at home, which is not good.
　　 Manchester City had already lost to Bayern in the first round. This time they drew with Roma. They only scored 1 point in the two rounds. This is very unfavorable for Blue Moon's qualifying situation.
　　 But there will be four full rounds next, everything is possible, Manchester City also naturally have a lot of opportunities.
　　 It is also worth mentioning that Welbeck completed a hat-trick in Arsenal's home win over Galatasaray.
　　 Two consecutive rounds of the Champions League have had Premier League players completing hat tricks. Now the English media can seize the opportunity to brag.
　　Especially these two players are native England players, and they can make the English media hype.
　　 In addition, after Lee Chenglong scored another goal in this round, he temporarily became the top scorer in the Champions League with 4 goals.
　　※※※
　　 After the Champions League group stage, it will soon be the Premier League weekend again.
　　 On October 5, the seventh round of the Premier League, Liverpool played against West Brom at home.
　　 Liverpool won the game relatively cleanly, taking a two-goal lead in the first half, and Lee Chenglong also sent an assist.
　　 The next 2:0 score has been maintained for most of the time~EbookFREE.me~ At the last moment, the opponent got a goal back because of carelessness, but it was also considered flawed.
　　 At the same time, in other games in this round, the top six are basically recovering their form. Manchester United, Manchester City and Tottenham all won, and Chelsea won 2-0 at home in the London Derby to continue to maintain their strength.
　　 In the current Premier League standings after 7 rounds of the league, Chelsea topped the list with 6 wins, 1 draw and 19 points, and Manchester City ranked second with 4 wins, 2 draws and 14 points.
　　The third is the dark horse Southampton. They have 4 wins, 1 tie and 13 points.
　　 Liverpool ranked fourth with 4 wins, 3 losses and 12 points, and finally returned to where it should be.
　　 However, Liverpool is 7 points behind Chelsea, which is the top of the list. This difference is not small, especially when Mourinho leads the team very well.
　　 Next, Manchester United and Tottenham both scored 11 points. After Arsenal lost, the ranking fell and dropped directly to 9th place.
　　 The current Premier League standings after seven rounds is still quite chaotic, only Chelsea is more obvious than the others.
At the same time, Diego Costa and Aguero both scored a goal in this round of the league. In this case, Diego Costa has scored 9 goals, while Li Chenglong and Aguero both scored 5 goals. The ball tied for second.
　　 There are more people bragging about Costa, but fortunately, Lee Chenglong is number one in the Champions League shooter list, which is very convincing.
　　 Costa has not yet scored a goal in the Champions League, and Aguero only scored a penalty, which is far from Lee Chenglong.
