Facing Eindhoven at home is Liverpool's most crucial match in this group.

However, Liverpool didn't seem tense at all, because they were playing at home and their strength was superior to Eindhoven's.

If they could lose to the opponent in this situation, it would truly be a major upset.

And what made them so confident, besides their strength, was the opponent's reaction.

The current situation in this group is as follows.

Liverpool, in first place in the group, has twelve points, while Eindhoven, in second place, has nine points. Galatasaray and Monaco, in third and fourth place respectively, only have one point each and cannot threaten the top two teams.

In fact, not only Liverpool, but also Eindhoven have qualified early.

It can be said that Eindhoven has no worries. Even if they lose their last two games, they can still advance to the Champions League Round of 16.

This leads to two possibilities.

One is that Eindhoven has no desires and will field all substitutes in the last two games, playing casually.

The other is that Eindhoven will fight with all their might for the top spot in the group.

Being first in the group is certainly better than being second. No one wants to face a Barcelona or Real Madrid after finally qualifying from the group stage.

But it also depends on whether they have the ability.

Currently, Eindhoven is three points behind Liverpool. If Eindhoven can beat Liverpool away from home, the two teams will have the same points. Even if both teams win in the last round, the head-to-head record will be compared first. If the head-to-head record is one win and one draw, then the goal difference between the two teams will be compared. Liverpool's current goal difference against Eindhoven is two, so Eindhoven must win by at least two goals in this match. After the goal difference between the two teams is the same, the goal difference in the group stage will be compared, and Eindhoven will not have an advantage in this regard.

In short, after much calculation, everyone felt that Eindhoven's hope of competing with Liverpool for the top spot in the group was too slim. And if key players get injured in the process of competing for first place... that would be too costly.

Anyway, being able to qualify from the group stage is already Eindhoven's greatest wish. For them, being able to qualify is good enough, so don't even think about qualifying as the first or second in the group.

Therefore, Eindhoven didn't plan to come here and compete with Liverpool for the top spot in the group.

Moreover, when the media mentioned this in front of them, they would try their best to deny it.

Such performance naturally gave Liverpool a certain amount of confidence.

If the opponent has no fighting spirit, is there any suspense in this game?

※※※

Indeed, there was no suspense.

Less than ten minutes into the game, Liverpool scored.

"Hero's free kick! Beautiful! At such a long distance, only Chen Hero's free kick in the world of football today can guarantee this goal rate!"

In the commentator's shouts, Anfield Stadium had become a sea of ​​joy.

There really was no suspense in the game...

Eindhoven's performance on the field was the same as their attitude before the game. They didn't have one set of words for the public and another for themselves. They were very low-key before the game, and they were even more low-key during the game.

These players seemed unwilling to waste time on Liverpool.

They did not show the fighting spirit and action of having to win.

In the end, Liverpool defeated Eindhoven 3-0 at home and secured the top spot in the group with fifteen points, one round in advance.

Chen Hero scored twice in the game, bringing his goals in the Champions League this season to eight.

When Chen Hero only scored one goal in a game before, everyone said that Chen Hero was in a slump and only scored one goal.

Now no one says that anymore, because Chen Hero has scored eight goals in five Champions League group matches without knowing it, which is more than one goal per game. With such performance, no one can say that he is in bad shape with a clear conscience.

Eight goals keep Chen Hero at the top of the scorer list. The second place is Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid, who scored six goals, and Messi is third with five goals. As for those with four or three goals, there are even more.

At this point in the Champions League season, after five rounds of group matches, Liverpool, Barcelona, and Real Madrid are the three most dazzling teams. They have all qualified early and have secured the top spot in their respective groups.

European media have said that European football has entered an era of three-way power.

In the next few years, they will be the three teams competing for the top spot.

The reason why these three teams can stand out from the crowd is largely because they have the best players in the world of football today.

The situation of the teams is the same as that of the players. The three best players in football today are Chen Hero, Messi, and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Then the teams they are in are naturally the best.

This fully illustrates the influence of superstars on a team.

Without these three people, Barcelona and Real Madrid would still be strong teams, but they would definitely not be able to dominate Europe. And Liverpool would simply be directly beaten back to their original form.

Today's European football is not only a war between Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Liverpool, but also a competition between Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, and Chen Hero.

No one wants to lose to the other two. Messi doesn't like Cristiano Ronaldo and hates Chen Hero. Cristiano Ronaldo hates Chen Hero and Messi. Chen Hero also hates them both. No one will flirt with the other side to form an alliance. This relationship ensures that the competition between them is intense enough.

Whether it is personal or collective honor, they will compete for it.

The competition between these three people is a good thing for the fans, because they can see the competition between the three top players in football today, and it is still such a naked direct competition. No one is hypocritical, and no one will show mercy.

The fierce competition brings about the three people constantly breaking through themselves, surpassing the limits, and presenting more exciting goals and more exciting games for everyone.

This is a blessing for the fans.

But for the opponents of these three teams, it is not the case...

After playing the Champions League match against Eindhoven, Liverpool will face Manchester City in the league at home.

In previous years, the strong dialogue between Liverpool and Manchester City was the most crucial game of the round.

But this year, Manchester City's momentum is not as good as before.

After Mancini was fired, Manchester City's performance in the new season was not satisfactory. After thirteen rounds of league matches, they only ranked fifth.

This ranking is actually not bad, but considering that Manchester City used to compete for the championship, this ranking seems a bit low.

The newly replaced coach is the former Inter Milan coach, Boas.

This young coach, who had achieved brilliant achievements in Porto, once studied under Mourinho. But obviously, there can only be one Mourinho. Boas did not have any outstanding achievements in his subsequent coaching career.

Whether it was at Chelsea or Inter Milan, the coaching results were not good. However, his successful coaching in Porto left a deep impression on people, which is currently the only thing he can rely on.

Based on his successful experience in coaching Porto and his experience in coaching wealthy clubs, he joined Manchester City.

But perhaps it was his own coaching level or the pressure was too great. In short, his start at Manchester City was not smooth.

Faced with such a Manchester City, Liverpool didn't regard them as a great opponent.

Although Manchester City is still full of strong players and stars like Aguero make Manchester City extremely strong.

However, with Mancini gone and an unreliable Boas coming, Manchester City suddenly felt a bit like a group of dragons without a leader.

The most crucial thing is that Boas is a coach with strong control, and the reason why Aguero wanted to squeeze Mancini away was that he didn't want to be controlled by Mancini.

Unexpectedly, after squeezing away a wolf, a tiger came.

The relationship between the two in the locker room is not good.

How can such a team have any combat effectiveness?

The season hasn't started for long, and there have been rumors that Aguero plans to go to Real Madrid.

You must know that Aguero just renewed his contract with Manchester City last season. This time, it is definitely not a trick by the agent to raise his salary. This time it is real. Aguero really wants to leave this team with no future.

Is there any difficulty in dealing with such a team, especially at home?

No difficulty at all.

※※※

Liverpool defeated Boas's Manchester City 2-0 cleanly at home.

Chen Hero scored twice in the game.

After scoring, he continued to provoke those Manchester City fans who had been scolding him.

After his provocation, the Manchester City fans scolded even louder.

The feud between these Manchester City fans and him is getting bigger and bigger, and it is estimated that it will last until death.

Chen Hero doesn't care so much. He scored a goal, won the game, and made those damn Manchester City fans go crazy. What a wonderful day!

He must celebrate with Christine in bed tonight!

In the following games, Liverpool began to frequently use rotation lineups, and more substitute players got more opportunities to play, while first-team players began to take turns to rest.

Martin O'Neill is preparing for Liverpool's third championship this season.

The FIFA Club World Cup is going to faraway Japan. The long journey and tiring trip require the players to rest well before departure, so as not to be too tired and ultimately affect their condition and physical fitness.

But no matter how they rotate, Chen Hero is always the starting center forward, unshakable.

He also used this opportunity to constantly score goals and reap the lives of his enemies.

3:1 victory over Portsmouth, Chen Hero scored a goal.

Against Wigan Athletic, he scored twice, helping Liverpool win 4-0 away from home.

After sixteen rounds, Liverpool has forty-six points, ranking first.

Second place is Manchester United. After they tied Liverpool at home, they seemed to have absorbed a lot of strength from that game and stimulated a strong fighting spirit, achieving good results in the following games.

Obviously, Manchester United doesn't want to let the old coach Ferguson's last season end in failure. They want to compete with Liverpool for the league title!

They surpassed Chelsea in the ranking and are in second place with thirty-nine points.

The two teams are still seven points behind, the same points difference as when they played before.

This shows the tenacity of this Manchester United team.

It's just that the seven-point difference is still very far away, and it's not so easy for them to challenge Liverpool...

Their first chance will come in December.

At that time, in addition to playing in the Champions League and the league, Liverpool also has two Club World Cup matches to play. The number of games doesn't seem to be large, but traveling back and forth across the entire Eurasian continent will definitely have an impact on Liverpool.

Moreover, in the last Champions League group match, Liverpool has to play an away game in Turkey, which is not an easy away game...

If they can make Liverpool lose a game in the league, or even draw a game, they can narrow the gap between them and Liverpool.
