After Chen Badminton scored, Merseyside's derby was naturally suspenseful. Liverpool defeated Everton, who had only 9 players with a small score of 2:1, and continued to lead the standings with 24 points.

Liverpool was the first game to start among the four giants. In the subsequent matches, the youth team Arsenal was impressive, defeating Bolton 2-0 and winning 11 consecutive victories in various competitions. With one less game, the points were only one point less than Liverpool, becoming a strong contender for the league championship.

The match between Manchester United and Chelsea was played later. Manchester United was in good shape after Rooney and Ronaldo came back. Rooney and Ronaldo scored two goals each. They finally defeated Aston Villa 4:1, which was one point less than Liverpool.

The match between Chelsea and Middlesbrough has attracted much attention. This is Mourinho's second game after he was dismissed. The last game of beating Bolton 1-0 was not convincing. Since Chelsea failed to win in both games with Middlesbrough, it was only in this game that it was obvious how much the head coach Grant was. In the end, Drogba returned to power, and Chelsea won Middlesbrough 2-0 and returned to the championship ranks.

After the game, major media began to criticize Liverpool for becoming Liverpool's team alone, believing that Liverpool had stolen another three-pointer. If Chen Yu had not had Chen Yu in this Merseyside derby, Liverpool might have lost. Chen Yu created two penalty kicks and two red cards alone, which was a well-deserved derby hero.

Everton goalkeeper Howard has also become a popular figure in the media. Journalists and football celebrities believe that in this derby battle, Howard's performance is world-class. He blocked all Liverpool's sports goals. If Chen Yu wasn't too magical, the best game would be Howard. Unfortunately, his opponent is Chen Yu.

The red card of Everton's defender Stabbs also made him one of the focus of the game. The media praised and criticized his approach. The Sun believed that he was stupid and scored a penalty kick. He also lost a red card for nothing. He could not play in the next round of the game, so Everton's loss was not a three-pointer; The Times believed that Stabbs was very bloody. Although he was sent off and Chen Yu also scored a penalty kick, his spirit of never giving up his defeat and never letting his opponent score a goal will greatly encourage Everton's players and fans, allowing them to strive for progress in the subsequent games, which is much more important than his absence from a game.

Although the Merseyside Derby is one of the most important derbys in the Premier League and has enough influence to compare with the Manchester derby, London derby, North London derby, etc., it has a very small influence around the world. After this game, the media quickly turned its attention to the next game.

After the tenth round of the league, the Premier League ushered in the highlight again. Liverpool welcomed the strongest challenger Arsenal at home. This game is a challenge and an opportunity for Liverpool. If you can defeat your opponent in a strong dialogue, you can throw away the craziest Arsenal. If you lose to your opponent in such a game, not only will your points be surpassed by your opponent, but your morale will also be greatly hit.

Liverpool and Arsenal have a direct conversation, which is good news for Chelsea and Manchester United. There will be one injury when the two tigers compete. No matter who loses, they can catch up with the points. It would be even better for the two teams to tie, so Liverpool and Arsenal will be pulled down by two points.

Now both Liverpool and Arsenal are strong and in full swing. It is definitely a blessing for fans to meet at this time, and the game is destined to be very exciting.

Although the media has begun to hype this giant dialogue, there is another Champions League group match in the middle of the 10th and 11th round of the league. In this Champions League match, Liverpool is going to Istanbul, Turkey. As we all know, the atmosphere of Turkish football is very fanatical and is not worse than Anfield. The home Inani Stadium is also known as the Hell Stadium. Arsenal's game is at home, and his opponent is Slavia, a Czech weak team, and it takes almost no effort to win. In the 11th round of the league, Arsenal is almost waiting for the effort to do it, which is also the most unfavorable thing for Liverpool and Arsenal.

Before going to Istanbul, Liverpool's camp also had discussions on how to play this game. The focus of the discussion was on what attitude and what kind of lineup to play this game.

Now Besiktas has lost two consecutive games in the group stage. If he loses another game, not only will he have no hope of qualifying in the group, but he will not even have the chance to play in the League Cup. In this game, Besiktas will definitely use his home advantage to do his best and fight for life and death.

But the situation in the group is not the best now. If they want to win the first place in the group, it is necessary to defeat Besiktas. Otherwise, it would be dangerous to win the first place in the group, and there is even the possibility of losing the second place.

But they want to win Besiktas away, but they don’t want to spend too much money to welcome the weekend battle with Arsenal, so they must find a way to the best of both worlds.

If you want to have the best of both worlds, you must have to adopt rotation tactics to let some main players rest and prepare for the weekend league. However, rotation tactics are risky. If you can't beat Besiktas, the weakest in the group, then even if you can win Arsenal on the weekend, it will not be considered a success. If you can't beat Liverpool on the weekend, it will become a joke.

After detailed analysis and drills, Liverpool finally decided to rest four main players, Alonso, Kuyt, Riser and Benayon, and the other main players went to Istanbul to play the Champions League group stage together with the comeback Gerald and Agel.

What kind of land is the capital of the ancient Eastern Roman Empire for the Reds Liverpool?

Non-Liverpool fans will definitely say that this is a blessed land for Liverpool. The fifth Champions League trophy in the history of the Reds was won here, and this is also the greatest honor that Liverpool won before Chen Yu's future.

But those who are familiar with Liverpool fans know that this is not only a blessed land for Liverpool, but also a sad place for Liverpool. In this ancient city, they have fought with local Turkey teams three times but never won once.

Now that they are in Istanbul for the fourth time, can they break this embarrassing record this time?

With such questions, Liverpool players arrived at this international metropolis across Asia and Europe at 11:00 am.

Liverpool's opponent Besiktas Club is located in the Besiktas district of Istanbul and is one of Turkey's most famous teams. They have won 13 league titles and are second only to Galatasaray and Fenerbahce in Turkey.

Besiktas is a multicultural area, one of the most densely populated and most complex areas of Istanbul. It retains some village and town style in the process of urbanization, making people feel that Istanbul is very old, a kind of dilapidated that penetrates the bone marrow, and no matter how many tall buildings are, they cannot be washed away.

After getting off the plane, breathing the salty and wet sea breeze from the Marmara Sea. Seeing the dark crowd of picking up the plane, the Liverpool players were excited. They thought this was the pioneer of Liverpool fans or local Liverpool fans, but soon they found that they were wrong, and most of the crowds who came to pick up the plane were fans of their opponents.

Liverpool has not experienced the situation where opponents fans come to provoke, but Besiktas is not another team. French magazine once named the world's most fanatical and extreme fan rankings. The top three were included by Turkish teams, namely Galatasaray fans, Fenerbache fans and Besiktas fans. Such a group of fans came to pick up the plane, and Liverpool players were frightened and didn't know what would happen later.

Just as Liverpool players were hesitating, many police and security guards suddenly appeared on the stadium. It turned out that the airport police knew that Besiktas' fans were coming to cause trouble. They specially sent people to maintain order and escort Liverpool players away from the airport.

Looking at the police present, the Liverpool players felt much more at ease and were preparing to say a few words to the Liverpool fans who were picking up the plane. However, they soon found that they overestimated the deterrent power of the Turkish police. Besiktas fans still angrily spit out trash words at them and threw miscellaneous items, even if the police arrested people, they would not be responsible.

Liverpool players felt it was dangerous to stay here for one more minute. When the bus sent by the club arrived, they immediately got on the bus and returned to the hotel.

After returning to the hotel, Benitez immediately held a team meeting and issued an order to the players not to leave the hotel casually. Turkey's fans are so enthusiastic that if something happens to a player in a nightclub or something, it will have a great negative impact on the team.

After the team meeting, Benitez took Gerald out to hold a press conference and met with the media and fans, and talked about the current situation of the team that fans and reporters were eager to know.

"Istanbul is a special place. I believe that everyone associated with Liverpool recognizes this. For Liverpool, Istanbul is an iconic and an important part of the team's history. When we come to Istanbul again, we are still here for the championship, but this time we have another task, which is to break the embarrassing record of never winning the Turkish team here."

"...We are not in a good situation in Group A now. Our current points are the same as Porto, just one more point than Marseille. If we want to win the first place in the group, we must beat Besiktas here. Of course, this is not an easy thing. In this city, Turkey's teams will burst out with amazing combat power. They have such an atmosphere. The fans at home are very enthusiastic. We have already experienced this when we were at the airport, but we will not be afraid of any provocation. We will respond to everything with our performance on the court... Our players are not cowards!"

Benitez accused Besiktas fans and gave a tough counterattack.

Gerald's first time returning to the arena after he was in a car accident. In this game, he said: "Although Besiktas has lost two consecutive times, they are by no means a bottom. He is a powerful team. It is difficult for any team to defeat them here. In addition, they are in danger and on the verge of despair. They will definitely fight in this game. We must pay great attention to this game... My body has been fully recovered and can withstand any intensity of the game. I am also eager for the game. As for whether I can play tomorrow night, it depends on the coach's arrangement."

In the afternoon, Liverpool went to Inani Stadium for two hours of training. Liverpool said that this was a closed training and did not want anyone to come to watch. However, the manager of Inani Stadium did not act according to Liverpool's requirements and still allowed fans to enter the stadium to watch. Due to the trouble of Besiktas' fans, Liverpool's training time was not completed. He left in a hurry after only training for more than an hour.

At a press conference in Besiktas, Besiktas' head coach Sagram also expressed his views on the game. He said: "For Besiktas, the past month has been our most painful month. We have suffered consecutive defeats in the Champions League and the league, and the Champions League has been on the sideline of the game. The fans are very disappointed with us. Now we have ushered in the strongest opponent in the group stage, Liverpool. Many people think that we will lose a game, and no one thinks we will win, but I want to admit defeat. Besiktas is also a team with a great history. On this land, the Liverpool people have never scored a three-pointer against us.

Why are we afraid of them? Are Galatasaray and Fenerbahce greater than us? Can't we do things before they have done it... Rustu has participated in pre-match training, he can now participate in the game, he is very important to us, but Alican also has enough ability to keep goal for Besiktas. Catinho's comeback is good news, but we must be cautious about his use. We also have good forwards like Popo, Oscan, Delgado, and we will not risk using Catinho... No matter who plays the game, we must win in this game, and we must also win, otherwise we can only leave the great Champions League stadium..."
