Chapter 353:

　　 Forced the opponent to succumb to an own goal in the opening 11 minutes. The Liverpool team was greatly encouraged, and then launched a continuous attack at home.
　　 In the 18th minute, Skrtel completed a head-shaking attack in a corner kick, but Porto goalkeeper Fabiano stretched his foot out. Sterling followed up with a supplementary shot and made the ball into the stands.
　　 In the 25th minute, Li Chenglong tried a heavy bombardment with his right foot, and Fabiano made another flying save. At the same time, there were exclamations from all over the stands.
　　 This heavy artillery shot is pretty good, even Li Chenglong thought he would have it.
　　Liverpool's continuous offensives made Lopetegui very nervous, waving his hand from the sidelines to command his team.
　　 In the 29th minute, Casemiro received a yellow card for a foul on Li Chenglong.
　　 In the 33rd minute, Danilo also received a yellow card for a foul on Sterling.
　　 Relying on tenacious defense and two yellow cards, Porto finally held the score and slowly stabilized the situation.
　　 By the last few minutes of the first half, Porto has already begun to find opportunities to attack.
　　 But neither side actually scored a goal. At the end of the first half, the score was still 1:0.
　　 During the intermission, Rogers made tactical adjustments and asked the team to stabilize the rhythm in the second half and try not to give the opponent a chance.
　　 This kind of home and away game really needs to be careful not to score away goals for the opponent.
　　 But Lee Chenglong feels that with Liverpool's strength, even if it continues to attack, it shouldn't be a big problem. There is still a chance to end the game in one round. Rogers is a bit too conservative.
　　 But Lee Chenglong didn't challenge the authority of the head coach, he still listened to him.
　　 Liverpool took the initiative to control the rhythm in the second half, which really made the defense more stable, but Porto also took the opportunity to slow down and started playing back and forth with Liverpool.
　　 Fortunately, Porto's overall strength is really bad, especially their striker, which is indeed a little weak.
　　 So throughout the second half, the game was played slowly, and the two sides occasionally launched some offensives, but they all seemed to be scratching.
　　 Soon, forty-five minutes of the second half were consumed, and the score on the court remained unchanged.
　　 Liverpool defeated Porto 1-0 at home with an own goal from an opponent.
　　 Such a result of the game is considered acceptable to both sides.
　　 Liverpool won 1-0 at home, with a clear advantage and did not allow the opponent to score away goals. He has taken the initiative in the two rounds of the knockout round.
　　 For Porto, they are just a small away goal, and they have a chance to return to home to reverse.
　　 After the game, Lopetegui made a statement in front of the media.
　　 "Only one goal was lost at Anfield, which is completely acceptable to us. Back at the Dragon Stadium, we will definitely be able to reverse this series..."

　　 Four Champions League rounds were played this week. Except for Liverpool’s one-goal home win, the other three games were considered normal.
　　 Bayern went to the away game with Shakhtar Donetsk and played a 0:0 sullenness. Considering the fact that Harvey Alonso was sent off with a red card, this result is acceptable.
　　 Everyone believes that Bayern will definitely be able to return to the home court to advance.
　　 Chelsea drew 1:1 with Paris Saint-Germain in the away game. This result is not surprising.
　　 Although Chelsea and Paris are strong and powerful, everyone feels that Chelsea is still stronger and the probability of promotion is higher, especially when Chelsea has a huge lead in the Premier League.
　　 Now that Chelsea drew an away game and scored an away goal, it is indeed a small advantage.
　　 There is the last game, Real Madrid's away game against Schalke 04.
　　 Schalke 04 is indeed a serious decline in strength. In the main scene, he also lost 0:2 against Real Madrid, which is basically out of the game.
　　 In the first four games of the Champions League round of 16 games, the two teams in the Premier League have got a pretty good result. This is the English media is more happy.

　　 The results of the Champions League match were pretty good, but it took some effort.
　　 The following weekend, on February 22, the 26th round of the Premier League, Liverpool went away to challenge Southampton, the Premier League super dark horse this season, the team was still somewhat affected.
　　 In the current Premier League standings, Liverpool and Southampton have the same points. This is another four battle.
　　 This was the case with Tottenham in the previous round, and the opponents with the same points competed for four.
　　 Just beat Tottenham down, this time it was the same situation against Southampton.
　　 The sudden outbreak of Southampton this season can be regarded as the result of various factors.
Their head coach Ronald Koeman’s tactical arrangements are reasonable. There are still many powerful players in the team. Senegalese Mane and Italian Pellet are on the front line, and the midfielder includes Kenyan Wanyama and French Schneiderlin. , Klein, Yoshida Asaya and others are also on the defensive line.
　　 In short, the Southampton team has a bunch of players who are not well-known but are not bad. This is the basis for their good results.
　　 The only good news in this four battle is that in the first two rounds, Southampton's thigh was injured.
　　 Although the injury is not serious, it will still affect his performance.
　　 In fact, after the game started, Mane did not start, but sat on the bench first.
　　 But Liverpool followed the principle of taking advantage of his illness to kill him, and quickly act first.
　　 Although the offense was frustrated in the first half, before the end of the first half, Lee Chenglong and Sterling scored successively, giving the team a two-goal lead.
　　 Koeman replaced Mane in the second half, but it was too late. Liverpool began to shrink the defense. In addition to the injury, Mane was not in good shape. Although there were two good dribbling rushes, it did not create a threat.
　　 So it was like this~EbookFREE.me~Liverpool beat Southampton 2:0 in an away game, winning two consecutive league rounds and winning the four World Wars.
　　 In this round of the Premier League game, Manchester United lost 1:2 to Swansea in an upset away game. At the same time, Tottenham also drew with West Ham 2:2 at home.
　　 In this case, Liverpool's Premier League ranking once again moved forward to third place.
　　 In the current Premier League competition, Liverpool ranked third with 49 points, Arsenal ranked fourth with 48 points, followed by Manchester United with 47 points, Southampton with 46 points and Tottenham with 44 points.
　　 Third place, this is Liverpool's highest ranking in the Premier League this season.
　　 Of course, it refers to the ranking after a round of the league is over, and does not calculate the real-time ranking.
　　 Two points ahead of fifth-placed Manchester United, which is also a small advantage.
　　 In the next round of the Premier League, Liverpool’s match will be postponed due to the League Cup final with Tottenham.
　　 In the next period of time, Liverpool will have to compete with other opponents in one less game.
　　 So being able to rise to third place at this critical moment is indeed good news.
　　 In addition, after Lee Chenglong scored a goal in this round, his Premier League goals have reached 25, creating a new Premier League goal record for the first season.
