After losing to Newcastle, it was another double-match in a week, the UEFA Champions League midweek.
Liverpool went to Madrid, at the Bernabéu Stadium, played against Real Madrid.
As the most historical team in the Champions League and the most successful team in the 20th century, there is no one. Real Madrid itself is a monument of European football.

Because if Real Madrid wins the game with Liverpool, take a break in the next two games, then in case something really breaks out, it will be very passive for Liverpool's promotion.
Liverpool still want to struggle in the away game, but although Real Madrid is not in good shape this game, Liverpool also played well on the defensive end. Damn, another paragraph is missing! , The fastest update of the latest chapter!
Isco shot in the center and scored the only goal of the game.
Liverpool was double-killed by Real Madrid, and it was completely in a passive situation where they might not be able to qualify in the Champions League group stage.
On the plane back to Liverpool, the team atmosphere was very bad.
The ups and downs of the team's current record and the lack of competitiveness in the face of strong teams have brought Liverpool to the point where they have to make large-scale tactical changes. Day, I couldn’t watch it and I missed it! Remember for a second, ().
The next day, in the Liverpool training base, Rogers internally announced the starting list for Chelsea three days later before the start of training.
Other changes in personnel are normal, but Gerrard, who has no injuries, was placed on the bench, which shocked everyone.
Gerrard looked at the questioning glances from his teammates, acting quite calmly.
This is the result of a long conversation after Gerrard and Rogers returned to Liverpool last night.
Rogers needs to make new tactical adjustments, and the physical fitness of Gerald, who is one year older, is destined to be a huge hidden danger.
Rogers gave a detailed account of the new tactical construction, and Gerrard also knew that he could not achieve the tactical requirements in the full game. Without wanting to drag the team back, coming off the bench might be a challenge for the team. Said to be the best choice today.
Gerrard himself understands and understands that many of the previous team's conceded goals are related to the defensive flaws in the midfield. Recently, when Gerrard had to focus on defense and physical distribution, he lacked his own. The threat of forward shots, Liverpool's offense, not enough offensive players, a sense of stagnation is normal.
For Liverpool's record and for the multiple championship goals this season, Gerrard is willing to sacrifice playing time in several games to verify Rogers' new play.
If it really works, then Gerrard can also be willing to play off the bench in future games, just like Carragher in last few seasons...
Training time is very tight. With the starting roster already determined, the Liverpool starters must become more familiar with new tactics, new running positions, and a new mental outlook to deal with the challenge of the weekend leader Chelsea.
Tens of thousands of Liverpool fans gathered at Anfield Stadium this weekend. Although the team's recent situation is not good, this does not affect the locals' love for Liverpool.
This strong matchup is definitely the highlight of this round of the Premier League. Although Liverpool have played dull recently, and Chelsea has never been a team that will open up attack, such a strong dialogue and the intensity of its own make everyone All look forward to it.
However, the Liverpool fans who paid attention to the starting list before the game discovered that Gerrard did not appear on the starting list. The first reaction was that the Jie team was injured, but they continued to look down and saw the Jie team on the bench list. They were a little surprised. .
As the flag of Liverpool, Gerrard actually sat on the bench today without a starting field.
This is news that shocked many people familiar with Liverpool.
Gerrard is definitely a business card of Liverpool, a player who supported the name of Liverpool during the lonely period of Liverpool. Now, he will choose to play as a substitute. Everyone is waiting for news from Liverpool after the game. source……
In this game, Liverpool fully demonstrated the power of young people.
Rogers put out a 443 lineup.
The defense line is all the "veterans" of last season. After Flanagan recovered from injury, he returned to the starting position and directly replaced the height-deficient Moreno.
For the configuration of the three midfielders, Rogers chose Henderson, Lucas, and the young midfielder Emre Can.
The three midfielders all have a certain defensive ability, which can form sufficient defensive pressure for the Liverpool midfielder.
The three forwards are Sturridge, Coutinho and Sterling.
In the case that the new players played in turns and failed to achieve results, in the end only Emre Jen succeeded. It can be seen that Rogers also considered himself a failure in his transfer operation this season.
Unlike Liverpool, the lineup is changed again.
Chelsea continue to firm up their 451 tactical play this season~lightnovelpub.net~ This season, the thigh-level striker transferred from Atletico Madrid, Diego Coster, is still the team's well-deserved siege hammer.
Behind him, there are both Hazard and Oscar, a technical midfielder who is good at breakthroughs, and Fabregas, a long pass master who delivers ammunition, making Costa temporarily the top scorer this season.
The entire Chelsea team building style also inherited Mourinho's tactical philosophy of giving priority to defense.
Matic, Ramirez is responsible for defense in midfield.
In the defense system of four-backs, the priority is to defend well, and then the full-backs can be used to attack.
At the beginning of the game, Liverpool showed a very different mental outlook.
The younger midfielder gave Rogers the capital to make the tactical changes he always wanted to make.
At the end of the attack this time, Liverpool no longer retired, but the midfielder continued to press forward, launching an on-the-spot press.
In the midfield, the opponents have more pressure to deliver the ball, and the back defense is completely handed over to the defense led by Yang Feng.
This kind of very aggressive fighting tactics requires players to have more physical stamina, keep all the players in the fight, and prevent the opponent from easily playing the ball.
It also needs the team midfielder to have high-strength individual defensive capabilities and will not allow opponents to easily pass through the defense zone.
In the previous situation, Gerrard was unable to form enough protection when he played the midfielder.
Gerrard's self-sacrifice caused Liverpool's tactical changes to achieve the effect Rogers expected.
Although the threat of the offensive end has not yet been fully demonstrated, the spirit of Liverpool and the degree of aggression in the defense are all gratifying.
Anfield stadium, this time it will not be easy for Chelsea to break.
