1270 Look at our strength

When the 15th round of the Premier League was just around the corner, there was unexpected news from Liverpool: Steven Gerrard was accidentally injured by a teammate at the training ground!

The teenager Insua collided with Gerrard in the confrontation training and caused Gerrard to sprain his ankle, which made Gerrard suddenly dropped out of the squad for the weekend game with Tottenham.

Koeman has become numb to the team's constant injuries.

What can't be avoided in front of him is the transfer rumor that Liverpool intends to introduce Gareth Bale.

At the press conference before the expedition to North London, facing the inquisitive questions from Fleet Street, Koeman bit the bullet and admitted that Liverpool had a good impression of Bale.

"Gareth Bale has grown into an excellent player. After our consideration, we believe that if he can join Liverpool, it will be a good improvement to the strength of the team, but we have not started negotiations with Tottenham. Now is not a good time, we are now preparing for the Club World Cup next month."

"Tottenham's asking price is 6000 million pounds. Does Liverpool have enough cash to complete the transfer?"

"The price is outrageous!"

"But Levy, the owner of Tottenham Club, claimed that it is impossible for Bale to leave below this price."

"We are still in the stage of investigating Bell, and we have not yet reached the stage of substantive negotiations."

"Aside from Bale, do Liverpool have any other goals?"

"This is not the topic of our press conference today. Is there anything else you want to ask about the game?"

"How long will Gerrard be out?"

"The team doctor told me Steve would be back with us healthy in ten days."

......

On the Tottenham club side, the old Redknapp firmly denied at the press conference that Tottenham would sell Bell, claiming that Bell is not for sale.

Perhaps the UEFA Champions League group stage has come to an end, and the prospects of the strong teams in the Premier League are good, which allows the strong teams to focus more on the league.

Arsenal played a thrilling game at Villa Park, beating Aston Villa 4-2.

Manchester United swept Blackburn Rovers 7-1 at Old Trafford.

Only Chelsea, which was in a downturn and fell into a trough, was tied 1:1 by Newcastle United at St. James' Park.

The final battle of the 15th round of the league is also the focus of this round.

Tottenham ushered in the conquest of defending champion Liverpool at White Hart Lane.

The game was more intense than ever, thanks to rumors of a move between Bale and Liverpool.

Tottenham and Liverpool are obviously not at the same level of team. Tottenham has no chance to compete for the championship, and Liverpool is the protagonist of the game of kings. But now that Liverpool wants to poach Tottenham's head star, this will naturally make White Hart Lane full of hostility towards Liverpool.

In the player tunnel, all the Liverpool generals couldn't help but glanced at Bell, as if they knew him again. I am afraid that only Insua held his head high and seemed determined to prove that he can be Liverpool's main left back.

In fact, the Liverpool generals live in England and are surrounded by various football media all day long. Of course, they can hear reports and news about Bale.

In the eyes of the Liverpool dressing room, Bell, who has become popular in the past year, may be a positive stimulus. Aurelio is old. It is undeniable that the more impactful Bell can make the team become better. Stronger, and he has no concerns about adapting to the Premier League, so everyone is naturally welcome.

Bell stood in the player tunnel waiting to play, and he couldn't help but glanced at Liverpool's lineup, hiding the envy in his eyes.

Liverpool's jersey seems to be a symbol of honor. The stage and goals that Liverpool fights on are all what he longed for.

Being able to get the favor of Liverpool is a good opportunity for him to make a leap in his career.

But now can also be said to be the worst opportunity.

The winter transfer leaves too little room for clubs and players to conduct transfer operations.

Now some fans in White Hart Lane put up slogans to keep Bell, hoping that he will stay in the team. He lives in North London and listens tirelessly to countless voices wishing him to stay.

This naturally disturbed his thinking.

But he really wants to go to a bigger stage!

Liverpool came to White Hart Lane today to take away the victory. At the same time, it can be regarded as piercing the last layer of window paper and telling Bell: We want you, do you want to join us?Otherwise, first feel the strength of the Red Army team!

Koeman formed a 433 formation today.

Goalkeeper: Reina.

Defenders: Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Insua.

Midfield: Mascherano, Alonso, Meireles.

Forwards: Raul, Torres, Qin Xiong.

Gerrard, who was unable to play, was temporarily replaced by Meireles, and the captain's armband was worn on Alonso's arm.

Tottenham starting 4411.

Goalkeeper: Gomez.

Defenders: Hutton, Kabul, Gallas, Hector.

Midfield: Lennon, Palacios, Modric, Bale.

Forwards: Van der Vaart, Crouch.

Qin Xiong once again met his old teammates and old friends on the court, each with their own weapons.

Van der Vaart performed well after coming to Tottenham, but he is no longer at the height expected by the outside world for the winner of the first European Golden Boy.

Tottenham did not defend at home, but used both wings as their main tactic.

Liverpool's midfield control has declined significantly today. With Gerrard not present, Meireles still cannot replace Gerrard's role, but fortunately, Liverpool's midfield creativity is still very strong.

Compared with Tottenham's main method of attacking from the side, Liverpool's small frontcourt team played very well.

At White Hart Lane, Tottenham took the lead. Lennon broke Insua in the fast break from the wing, then cut into the penalty area, and passed the ball back to the top of the penalty area. Blast off Reina's fingers.

Tottenham lead by one goal!

Five minutes later, Meireles cooperated with Raul in the frontcourt and then Raul obliquely plugged into the other side of the penalty area. Qin Xiong stopped the ball in the penalty area and kicked the goal. Kabul raised his leg to block Qin Xiong's shooting line But Qin Xiong smashed the ball away.

Qin Xiong succeeded in pushing the shot to the far corner of the goal from the line of the small penalty area.

1:1

Tottenham's wing attack is indeed very strong. Modric's midfield scheduling has a hidden master style. Bell and Lennon caused a lot of trouble for Liverpool on the two wings.

It's a pity that Crouch missed several opportunities.

Before the end of the first half, Torres received a pass from Qin Xiong in the penalty area and swayed away Gallas before shooting. Goalkeeper Gomez hit the ball with both fists.

The ejected football landed at Meirelles' feet, and he short-passed the ball to Qin Xiong on the left side in front of the penalty area.

Before the Tottenham team could react, Qin Xiong assisted Raul with a volley from the far side of the penalty area and scored with an overhead pass!

Liverpool completed the reversal in the first half! (To be continued~^~.)
