Qin Xiong was more open-minded about player transfers. He would only be moved if a teammate with whom he had a particularly good personal relationship left. Of course, this also varied from person to person and could not be generalized.
Torres left and Suarez and Baines came in. He quickly became familiar with them when he returned to the team for training.
After all, he and Baines were the front and back partners for the left flank offense during training. He was also the front line partner with Suarez. They interacted more during training and naturally built a relationship faster.
The 26th round of the Premier League arrived in the blink of an eye. Liverpool would visit Stamford Bridge to challenge Chelsea in this round.
This was undoubtedly the highlight game of the round.
The other games that started first played out jaw-dropping plots one after another.
Manchester City's home win over West Bromwich Albion was an expected result.
But Manchester United's away loss of 1: 2 to Wolverhampton Wanderers was a big surprise.
The most sensational result was born at St James' Park. Arsenal had a fantastic start in the away game.
1:0
2:0
3:0
4:0!
Within 26 minutes after the start of the game, Arsenal had an absolute advantage of a four-goal lead in the away game!
But from the 68th minute of the game onwards, Newcastle United's goals came one after another in the 20 minutes.
1:4
2:4
3:4
4:4!
Newcastle United completed the feat of equalizing the score from a four-goal deficit in the 88th minute of the game!
Arsenal once again explained to the outside world what the madness of youth was and why the football was round!
Arsenal and Manchester United both lost points, which relieved a lot of pressure for Liverpool before the highlight game of the round.
At least there was no pressure of being chased.
In other words, even if Liverpool lost to Chelsea, the lead team's advantage was still more than 10 points!
On February 6, Liverpool arrived at Stamford Bridge.
After three consecutive wins, Chelsea seemed to be in form again. Fleet Street dared not say that Chelsea could drag Liverpool from their comfortable lead back into the game of hegemony if they won the game.
But the Blues were at risk of not being able to keep their Champions League spot, so this game was crucial for the Blues.
The players from both teams stood in the players' tunnel, ready to take the field for the game. What made the Reds players sigh in their hearts was that Torres, who was their teammate just a month ago, was now wearing the Blues jersey and would be fighting with them on the field.
When the players of the two teams walked onto the field, the irrational Red Army fans began to abuse Torres. In their view, Torres's departure was a betrayal. Even if the team already had a top notch lineup, they still could not accept the fact that their past hero had joined their rival at a high price.

. "" No.. . After losing to Wolverhampton Wanderers in this round, Manchester United has lost the space to compete for the title. Liverpool will not make too many mistakes. They are now well-equipped, but Manchester United seems to have not adjusted. Their fighting spirit is also questionable. The successors who were placed high hopes on, such as Nani, Anderson, and Evans, have not reached the expected level. Even if only one or two of them can take over perfectly, Manchester United's performance may be much better than it is now. But since Ronaldo's departure, which player or recruitment of Manchester United has been successful? Almost none. Without Ferguson, Manchester United actually has the strength to compete for the top four. But Ferguson made it possible for Manchester United to compete for the title. But after two-thirds of the way through the league tournament, we have to admit that the Red Devils will lose to the Red Army again this season. "
"So, Liverpool will win the title this season, right?"
"If there are no injuries, there should be no suspense for Liverpool to win the title. Except for the slightly weak defensive line, the Red Army has a rich reserve of players on other fronts. They can deal with any opponent."
"Haha, okay, Andy. Do you agree with Robbie's point of view?"
Andy Gray laughed and said, "Of course, Liverpool's lead is too big, and they show no signs of slipping. They are more stable than last season. Even if they have to take into account the Champions League, Liverpool can cope with it calmly."
"Okay, in fact, I also think that Liverpool will be successful in defending their title. Back to the topic, since the topic of Liverpool winning the title has passed, then this red and blue battle will not have any impact on who the title belongs to. It will not even affect the situation of the title race. But who is more important to this game? "
"Of course it's Chelsea. Chelsea needs points to return to the top four groups, at least to ensure that they can compete in the Champions League next season. At the same time, Chelsea also needs to beat Liverpool to stimulate their confidence. Their consecutive losses to Liverpool will have a psychological impact on them. That may not be correct, but I think if Chelsea loses to Liverpool again, then they may be afraid of Liverpool in the short term in the future!"
"Well, Ancelotti's team's form is fluctuating. The recent three consecutive wins will give them more confidence to face Liverpool. At least they are winning, winning consecutively. This is very important. Otherwise, the suspense in this game will not be too great."
"Even so, will the suspense be very vague now? Liverpool is in great form. They have eased through the devil's schedule. Qin Xiong has also returned from the AFC Asian Cup. Liverpool is in better shape than Chelsea. Even if it's an away game, Liverpool's chances of winning are still greater, right? "
"That's true, but it depends on what Liverpool think. The Champions League knockout stage will start in ten days. Liverpool will eventually challenge AC Milan. Whether Liverpool will take the risk or seek stability, we don't know. It depends on what Comain thinks."
"Okay, then let's take a look at the state of the two teams today through the game.
Chelsea, who is at home, has set up a formation of 4312 today.
Goalkeeper: Čech.
Defenders: Bosingwa, Ivanovic, Terry, Ashley Cole.
Midfielders: Lampard, Essien, Mikel.
Forwards: Drogba, Anelka, Torres.
Liverpool's starting lineup: 433.
Goalkeeper: Reina.
Defenders: Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Baines.
Midfielders: Mascherano, Alonso, Gerard.
Forwards: Dirk Kuyt, Suárez, Qin Xiong.
Although Liverpool sold Torres last month, the two new players they brought in have performed well. Baines' ability to shuttle through the left corridor to assist is very much in line with Liverpool's technical tactics. Suárez, the Uruguayan striker, has the delicate skills of a South American player and a certain level of confrontation. His impact is not inferior to Torres'!
Let's enjoy this red and blue battle together! "
