Chapter 604: Situation After the Winning Streak

Bournemouth, trailing by three goals, could no longer organize an effective attack, and their own defense was also full of mistakes, so the coaches of both teams began to make substitutions.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Burnsley had given up in the next game, and the remaining time had become garbage time.

When Klopp replaced Li Qing with Lallana, the Liverpool fans on the field gave a warm applause, although the applause seemed a little small in their home stadium.

Seeing Li Qing leave the field, the Bournemouth players finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Liverpool's biggest threat was gone and they had a chance to score a goal to save face, but the Liverpool players on the field gave them a good lesson.

In the 80th minute of the game, Lallana made a long pass, and Bournemouth's captain Cook made a mistake in shoveling and clearing the ball, and the ball was directly given to Shaqiri.

After Shaqiri got the ball, he directly shook off Begovic who was attacking, and finally poked the ball into the net from the edge of the small penalty area, and the score became 0:4, and Bournemouth was 4 goals behind the opponent at home.

The Bournemouth fans in the stands were desperate. There were less than ten minutes left in the game. The next game was beyond the reach of the gods, so many fans chose to leave the field early. Watching it would only add to their troubles.

The Bournemouth fans made the right choice this time, because the situation on the field was still ugly until the end of the injury time. Begovic even became the busiest player on the field.

In the end, Liverpool beat Bournemouth 4:0. They only allowed Bournemouth, who played at home, to have only eight shots in the whole game, and only two of them were in the goal frame, and no goal was scored.

Liverpool had 16 shots in the whole game, of which six shots hit the goal frame and scored four goals, completely crushing the opponent in this regard.

With the victory, Liverpool ended their away trip perfectly. Next, they will return to their home court to welcome Hoffenheim, the opponent in the last round of the Champions League group, and then the double red meeting with the Red Devils Manchester United.

Before that, the French Ligue 1 had ended the 16th round of the game. Paris Saint-Germain lost to Strasbourg in an away game, and suffered two consecutive draws in the league. The unbeaten record in the league this season continued.

However, because Paris Saint-Germain will participate in the Champions League and the French League Cup next, the 17th and 18th rounds of the league will be postponed to February and March next year, and the next league for Paris Saint-Germain will only be the home game against Nantes on the 23rd.

Therefore, when will the competition between Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool for the unbeaten record in the league this season be decided? It will only be known in 2019.

In addition, in this round of the Premier League, in addition to Liverpool's away victory over the opponent, Tottenham, who did not start, defeated the home team Leicester City with goals from Son Heung-min and Ali in the first and second half.

Arsenal played at home and won a 1:0 victory over the challenging Huddersfield team. Torreira made the final decision at the last moment of the game. Ozil still did not appear in the team's roster in this game.

Liverpool's next league opponent Manchester United, sitting at Old Trafford, ended the four-game losing streak with a 4:1 goal battle.

Ashley Young, Mata, Lukaku and Rashford scored for Manchester United, while Fulham scored a goal in the second half by Ramara to save some face.

In another focus battle of this round, Chelsea successfully blocked the Blue Moon at their home court. Guardiola's Manchester City lost to Chelsea 0:2 away in front of Sarri's Blues, when the outside world was not optimistic about Chelsea.

This is Guardiola's second defeat this season. The first defeat was to Liverpool with Li Qing. The sudden rise of the Blues has given many professionals a warning that in many cases, football cannot be judged by just looking at the surface strength.

But it is worth mentioning that Manchester City had some problems before this game. Aguero was absent from this game, and Jesus was in poor form recently. .

Guardiola had no choice but to use a strikerless formation, and took the initiative to give up the strategy of rotating one player in the midfield that he had insisted on for many consecutive games. Under the pressure of two games in a week, Bernardo Silva, David Silva and Fernandinho continued to stay on the field.

But the Manchester City players, who were obviously tired and did not get enough rest time, and who were playing away, were obviously beginning to not adapt to the intensity of this game.

Bernardo Silva's activity in the frontcourt has obviously declined, Fernandinho was a little unable to run in the second half, and David Silva was injured. This is one of the many reasons for losing to Chelsea.

However, the happiest team for Manchester City's loss is of course Liverpool, because after this round, the difference between Manchester City and Liverpool has reached double digits.

Although there are more than 20 rounds of games this season, according to past historical data, Manchester City wants to counterattack and win the championship this season. Unless Liverpool has an air crash like the last century, there is no such possibility.

And Liverpool, who already has a double-digit advantage in points, how could it be satisfied with only winning the Premier League title?

Before the away games against Burnley and Bournemouth, the outside media had doubts about Liverpool's recent games, believing that the current Premier League lacks pressure and competition for Liverpool.

Because judging from the situation in the Premier League in recent years, Liverpool has easily won the league championship and other domestic championships. In this case, who will continue to actively enhance their abilities in training?

Therefore, it is obviously not enough to have consecutive Premier League titles. Liverpool's goal must be placed on international events such as the Champions League.

Although Liverpool won the Champions League last year, there has been no consecutive championship record in Liverpool's history, and no team has won three consecutive championships in the reformed Champions League.

So when a team is almost invincible in the domestic league, it will go out of the league, compete with other league teams, and win the final victory. It has become Liverpool's new goal. The consecutive European Champions League titles are another goal of Liverpool this season!

Otherwise, how could the team spend so much money in this season to buy so many top-level stars.

Especially goalkeeper Alisson, he joined Liverpool for more than 70 million euros, and broke the world football goalkeeper transfer fee record for this.

With so many goals and records to break, and facing a situation full of injuries, Klopp can only make choices in certain aspects. After all, compared with some false reputation, what the club cares about should be what he needs to care about most at the moment.
