Just after six o 'clock in the evening of December 8th, Qin Xiong had a succession of visitors.
A table of sumptuous food had been prepared in the dining room of the villa. Sylvia had specially ordered dinner from a restaurant she frequented in the city.
Freddy came to help set up the dining table, and Qin Xiong entertained the guests in the living room.
Raúl brought his family to visit, and Gerard also brought his wife and two daughters. Alonso and his wife were dressed very formally in suits and leather shoes, which made Qin Xiong tease them a little. Torres came alone, and finally, the team's vice-captain, Carragher, who was recuperating, also came alone.
They chatted and laughed as they enjoyed the food in the dining room. The younger children surrounded Qin Ye, constantly making him happy and playing with children's toys with him.
After dinner, the men came to the living room. Sylvia put the afternoon snacks she usually made on the coffee table and opened a few bottles of the best red wine from her family's Bordeaux winery in France.
The men sat together and prepared to watch the final game of the Champions League group stage between Liverpool and FC Twente.
The women went upstairs to the balcony to drink tea and chat.
Not many players could spend the day with such a relaxed state of mind at this time.
When the game was about to start, Carragher joked, "We won't be ravaged miserably today, right?"
Gerard shook his head and said, "The coach is not stupid. Sending out such a lineup, it's not completely giving up the game."
"But FC Twente probably thinks that the Red Army ran to their doorstep to give them warmth in this cold season!"
Qin Xiong said with a smile.
Everyone laughed.
Alonso said, "Inter Milan is furious. They also have to play an away game today. If they don't win the game, their qualification will be really uncertain."
Torres shrugged and said, "But Werder Bremen has already been eliminated. They have no desire. It's impossible for them to even get third place."
"That's not necessarily true. The theoretical analysis of the game is never accurate."
After Alonso finished speaking, the game began. Everyone drank red wine and watched the game.
Liverpool's attacking line today was really young.
Sterling. Babel. Ngog.
It was as if a youth storm was about to blow.
However, the midfield line was still very strong: Lucas, Tiote, Meireles.
However, the defensive line was not very reliable.
Degen, Kelly, Flynn, Insua.
In order to have a glimmer of hope to advance, Twente naturally attacked with all their might at home.
But what they did not expect was that Liverpool's substitutes and young players were as ferocious as wolves and tigers on the field!
That's right. If he was a main player, he might be more inattentive and not be interested in the game.
However, the substitutes and young players who were hungry for games were different.
They wanted to make a name for themselves!
Twente was completely dumbfounded at home.
Eleven minutes into the first half, Liverpool's quick counterattack blew up their defensive line.
"Wow! That kid looks pretty good. He's pretty fast and his dribbling sense is pretty good. "
Carragher was talking about Sterling, the young general who had just broken through the door in a long-distance raid. He hadn't even reached the age of eighteen yet, but his performance left a deep impression.
Twente was not convinced and stepped up their attack.
In the 21st minute of the game, just ten minutes after the last goal, after Babel's shot was blocked in a counterattack, Ngog seized the opportunity to shoot in front of the goal and sent the ball into the goal.
Liverpool was leading 2: 0 in the away game!
The Liverpool star players who were watching the game at Qin Xiong's house laughed heartily.
"Twente is really going to be stupid this time! They really thought we sent the second team over to give away points! They didn't expect it to be a bomb! BOOM！ BOOM！ BOOM！”
The Liverpool players at the game were also very excited. They did not intend to give away points to their opponents, and Comain's defensive counterattack strategy was naturally very effective in this game.
Twente would definitely attack aggressively, especially when they saw Liverpool send out the second team lineup. They did not expect them to be beaten silly!
They were caught off guard!
There was only one way left for Twente, which was to go all out and attack.
In the 35th minute of the game, Twente finally pulled a goal back under the frenzied attack. It was a long shot from outside the penalty area that created chaos in the penalty area. Liverpool's defensive line did not cooperate well and missed a player, giving the opponent a chance to shoot the ball into the goal.
Seeing this, Qin Xiong and his teammates held their heads and sighed, then looked at each other and smiled.
In fact, they did not need to be nervous at all. It was an opportunity for some young players and substitutes to train. It was not worthwhile to be too concerned about the outcome.
Twente did not expect Liverpool's performance in this game.
Before the end of the first half, Meireles scored a long shot from outside the penalty area during a counterattack, making the score 3: 1. Liverpool led by two goals again.
In the second half of the game, Liverpool scored again in the 55th minute by Meireles. This time, he still shot a long shot from outside the penalty area, but Ngog's previous shot created the goalkeeper to block the ball out of the penalty area, so he easily scored with a rebound shot.
“OMG！ I think we can't hold on to our main position! "
Gerard watched in high spirits, drank a glass of wine, and then shouted excitedly.
His teammates were also a little surprised. They did not expect the game to develop like this.
They originally thought that Liverpool would be fine as long as they did not lose too badly in the away game. They did not expect to lead their opponent by 4: 1!
Qin Xiong suddenly remembered something and said, "What's the score of Inter Milan's game now?"
This aroused everyone's interest, and they immediately changed the channel to take a look.
They did not know if they did not see it, but they were shocked when they saw it!
Inter Milan was behind 0: 2 to Werder Bremen in the away game!
"No way! What the hell is Inter Milan doing?! "
Inter Milan went to the away game with the thought that they could advance even if they tied. Unfortunately, the team had been stumbling since the start of the new season. There were also irreconcilable contradictions in the team. Coupled with the aging of the team, the decline in fighting power was obvious.
Werder Bremen had no desires, but they had to protect their reputation at home. They did not slack off and fought with Inter Milan for real!
Inter Milan was also dumbfounded by this fight!
After conceding the first goal, Inter Milan was slow to react and wanted to exert their strength. Instead, they were defeated by Werder Bremen's counterattack, and they scored another goal!
After Twente learned about the live score of Inter Milan, the fans in the stands beat their chests and stamped their feet in anxiety!
Motherf * cker!
Our good brother Werder Bremen had performed a perfect assist and led Inter Milan by two goals!
As long as we can beat Liverpool at home, no, beat Liverpool's second team!
We can miraculously advance to the Champions League round of 16 as second place in the group!
But looking at the score of 1: 4 on the scoreboard, the Twente fans wanted to cry but had no tears!
Inter Milan also knew the score on Liverpool's side on the other field.
They were originally panicking, but when they thought about how Liverpool was leading Twente by three goals, they were relieved. It was nothing even if they lost to Werder Bremen. They would still advance to the Champions League round of 16 as second place in the group!
