Chapter 57: Marseille with the wrong abacus (please give me a monthly ticket in the seventh update!)

Marseille head coach Ellie Bop knows how difficult it is to play Liverpool away, and he also knows what Martin O'Neal is thinking about.

Because he and Martin O'Neal thought of going together.

The two teams now have the same points, and Liverpool has the advantage in terms of goal difference. Therefore, it is currently the first in the group in Liverpool.

If Marseille wants to qualify as the first in the group, he has to find a way through a direct conversation with Liverpool.

In the away game, Baup planned to let the team play a defensive counterattack, first stabilize the defense, and then wait for an opportunity to attack. If there is no good opportunity, you don’t even need to attack and concentrate on defense. As long as you can draw Liverpool away and return to home court, Marseille can find a way to defeat them.

Baup really has such confidence. I don’t know if he should say that he believes too much in his players or underestimates Liverpool’s strength...

In fact, he was quite prepared, but he underestimated Chen Yingxiong's determination to compete for the Champions League top scorer - before this round of the league, Real Madrid's game had been finished, and Cristiano Ronaldo scored another goal in the game, and now he has scored five goals in three Champions League games, ranking first in the scorer list.

How could Chen Yingxiong sit down and watch the gap between him and him become wider and wider?

In this game, Martin O'Neal needed a victory, and Chen Yingxiong needed to score. When Marseille embarked on his journey, their fate seemed to be destined...

"Hero! Hero! Hero!!!"

The fans in the stands gave a huge cheer.

Chen Yingxiong, who was called by their names, was just below the KOP stand, waving his fists vigorously, in line with the rhythm of the fans' shouting.

"Hero - this is his fourth goal in the Champions League this season! He used his header to score for Liverpool!"

"Liverpool took the lead after just twenty minutes of the game! They scored again without any suspense!"

"Marseille defended with all his strength after the game started, but they still failed to defend Liverpool's tide offensive!"

Harry Levi, who succeeded Mr. Hartson, commented on Liverpool's game, shouted: "Welcome to Anfield, Marseille guys!"

Bowp waved his hand in annoyance when he saw Liverpool players celebrating the goal on the sidelines, looking helpless.

This goal conceals... the hero's air advantage is too obvious.

Now that my team has lost a goal, what should I do?

Bop made the decision to keep defending and fight back.

Since you have already lost a goal, the top priority now is not to equalize the score as soon as possible, but to try your best not to continue to lose the ball in the next game.

※ ※ ※

After Chen Yingxiong scored, he did not stop. His team's desire to score goals will never be satisfied.

Besides, the Portuguese was still pressing on him.

He must pull him off himself!

Facing such a Chen Yingxiong, Marseille still wants to keep the peace? It’s really a delusion!

※ ※ ※

Bup's plan is to stop conceding the ball before the end of the first half, and before the 43rd minute, it seems that his team has a good chance of achieving this goal.

Then in the 43rd minute, Chen Yingxiong personally shattered his beautiful dream.

Marseille only scored a goal to save face in the 88th minute while Liverpool was unprepared.

At that time, Martin O'Neal had already replaced three players in one breath, including Chen Yingxiong. Judging from O'Neal's substitution posture, if there were no rules to limit him, he would definitely want to replace all eleven people.

Because there is another highlight on the weekend - the first England national derby of the new season, Liverpool will face Manchester United at home.

O'Neal no longer considered the Champions League at this time, he was considering the domestic league.

Even so, Marseille has no chance.

The result was that Bowp, who was determined to win away games, almost lost his underwear.

The 1:4 failure was Marseille's first defeat in the Champions League this season, and it was also the worst.

After losing this game, Marseille's plan goal has to be from competing for the first place in the group with Liverpool and to adjusting to competing for the second place in the group with Florence.

Fiorentina narrowly defeated Olympiacos 4-3 away, scored three points, and the points were approaching Marseille.

Liverpool, who won all three games, basically secured a place to qualify in the group. Although there are three games left before the end of the group stage, no one would think they can't even qualify in the group stage.

What made Bup even more unhappy was that at the post-match press conference, O'Neal talked about the most was the match against Manchester United. As for the match against Marseille, he just mentioned it briefly. It seemed that he didn't care about Marseille at all...

Not only Martin O'Neal, but other English journalists were not very interested in Marseille. When it was his turn to play, only a few French journalists asked some questions. The English journalists were too lazy to even raise their hands - the relationship between the British and the French was not good, and they were not in the mood.

So in Bop's eyes, it means that he will be insulted if he loses the ball.

But as a loser, what else can he say at this time?

He could only hold back his breath and wait until he returned to his home court and then find a chance to vent.

On November 4, Marseille will face Liverpool at home, which is Bop's fight for revenge.

※ ※ ※

It’s no wonder that Martin O’Neal didn’t take Marseille to heart. It seems that he is the strongest opponent in the group. His points were the same as Liverpool before, and he scored five goals without losing a single goal. No matter how you look at it, they all have the qualities and symbols of a strong opponent, right?

But as soon as the battle started, Marseille quickly turned to... They were solved in less than one chapter. How did you let Martin O'Neal take such an opponent to heart?

Compared with them, Manchester United is the real strong enemy.

Although he defeated Manchester United at Old Trafford last season and snatched the league championship, many people thought this game was a watershed, but Martin O'Neal didn't dare to think so.

Because the outcome of a game does not explain much. A very famous Argentine football commentator once said a famous saying: "A game has no logic."

If Manchester United loses that game, it does not mean that they will lose in the new season.

So every encounter with Manchester United is unscathing.

The so-called centipede is dead but not dead. A powerful team like Manchester United is a centipede. If a failure of a game cannot kill them.

With opponents like Manchester United, Marseille will naturally not be enough to watch.

The whole of England had already entered the atmosphere of the "national derby" early at this time, and no one had time to pay attention to Marseille.
