This is exactly what Chamberlain wants!

Chamberlain took advantage of the opponent's unstable center of gravity and immediately jumped up and continued to dribble the ball to the bottom.

This pause and start fully demonstrated Chamberlain's bold and aggressive pure British winger pedigree.

Liverpool fans roared with excitement.

After Chamberlain shook off the player defending him and went to the bottom line, he seized the opportunity and hit a half-high ball into Ajax's penalty area.

At this moment, Gu Ran was competing in speed with the two central defenders of Ajax!

Gu Ran used his speed and body to eat up two Ajax central defenders, and headed the ball between the two central defenders! The Ajax goalkeeper missed the ball! After being hit by his fingers, the football continued to shoot crookedly into the goal!

The ball went in! The score on the big screen changed to Liverpool 3:0 Ajax!

When Ajax's normal ball possession rate reached 78%, Liverpool scored three goals!

The outcome was decided! Ajax had no chance! The Ajax players put their hands on their hips and looked miserable, not understanding where they had gone wrong.

Soleimani, the talented young man who was highly expected by the entire Jiafu Club, was completely silent in this game and basically had no performance.

For the rest of the time, Ajax's attack was no longer viable.

However, Mourinho did not kill all the players, but replaced them with two more players - Van Dijk and Lallana, so that they could adapt to the rhythm and atmosphere of the Champions League as soon as possible.

This is also a preparation for Liverpool's multi-line operations.

In the end, when the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Liverpool defeated the powerful European star-making factory Ajax with a 3-goal lead away from home and won valuable three points in the super death group D.

Another match in Group D, between Real Madrid and Dortmund, also ended at the same time. Real Madrid beat Dortmund 1:0. Pepe was sent off and was banned for one game in Europe. Ronaldo performed brilliantly and scored the winning golden goal.

Therefore, the standings of Group D, the super group of death, are that Liverpool and Real Madrid both have 3 points, while Ajax and Dortmund have 0 points.

Liverpool has a higher goal difference, so it is currently ranked first. This is undoubtedly a good start for Liverpool fans.

In addition, it is particularly worth mentioning that because Southampton won the Europa League last time, it was directly airdropped into the group stage of this Champions League. Southampton was divided into Group G with Barcelona, ​​Celtic and Benfica.

Except for Barcelona, ​​there are basically no strong teams in Group G.

After the first round of Group G, Barcelona defeated Celtic 5:0, while Southampton lost 0:2 to Benfica at home.

The sad Southampton fans miss their God, their boss, and their Chinese dad very much.

But no matter what, Southampton has made it to the Champions League.

Other Champions League matches worth mentioning are that Paris Saint-Germain and Porto in Group A won all, Schalke 04 and Arsenal in Group B won all, Malaga and AC Milan in Group C won all, and Juventus and Shakhtar Donetsk in Group E won all.

Chelsea was in Group E, and as the champion of the previous Champions League, Chelsea played against Juventus as a home team in the first round of the group stage. As a result, Chelsea lost 1:2 to Juventus led by Conte. At this time, "Pinturizio" Piero of Juventus had retired.

Of course, the group stage will be played in three rounds, and we can’t tell anything just from the first game.

After the game, the Liverpool team stayed in the x city Amsterdam for one day before reluctantly returning to Liverpool.

Mourinho gave the whole team another day off.

On September 25, the third round of the League Cup began, with Liverpool away challenging Championship team Peterborough United.

Peterborough United is also an old team that Gu Ran is familiar with. Like Southampton, it was previously a League One team and was later promoted to the Championship. The difference is that Gu Ran led Southampton to achieve three consecutive jumps, while Peterborough United has been struggling to survive in the lower reaches of the Championship after being promoted to the Championship.

Naturally, there was no suspense in this game.

Mourinho boldly used new players, allowing Van Dijk, Chamberlain, Lallana and other players from Gu Ran's Southampton faction to start the game, and in terms of tactics, Mourinho did not make too many rigid requirements.

So, Gu Ran led the whole team to kill everyone.

In the first half, Gu Ran completed four assists, feeding two goals to Chamberlain and Lallana respectively. In the second half, taking advantage of Peterburg's declining physical strength, Gu Ran repeatedly performed one-on-one games and completed his hat-trick of shots.

In the end, Liverpool easily defeated Peterborough United 7-0 away from home and successfully advanced to the fourth round of the League Cup.

On September 29, the Premier League match day began, and Liverpool challenged the Premier League powerhouse Aston Villa away.

In this game, Mourinho cautiously sent out the entire main lineup.

On the one hand, it is to win the game, and on the other hand, it is also to allow the main players to maintain a high competitive rhythm in preparation for the next Champions League game.

After the game started, there were many physical confrontations between the two sides. Fortunately, with Gu Ran there, Liverpool did not suffer any loss in the physical confrontation.

In the first half, Liverpool got a corner kick opportunity. Gerrard took the corner kick and Gu Ran made a high-profile bomb and scored in one fell swoop.

In the second half, Aston Villa equalized the score through a controversial offside goal, but two minutes later, Gu Ran received the ball from the backcourt, drove straight into the goal, broke through Aston Villa's entire defense line, and scored with a long shot from outside the penalty area.

As the game was nearing its end, it was Gu Ran again who attracted fire outside the penalty area and passed the ball to Coutinho who had penetrated into the penalty area. Coutinho's shot was blocked, but Gu Ran followed up and scored with his signature overhead kick.

In the end, with many Liverpool stars not in very good form, Gu Ran alone took up the banner on the offensive end and led Liverpool to a 3-1 victory over Aston Villa, maintaining the Red Army's winning streak in the Premier League.

On October 4, the UEFA Champions League group stage resumed.

Liverpool will face the Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund at their home stadium, Anfield!

The outcome of this game is quite crucial. If it is difficult to play against Real Madrid, then maintaining suppression against Dortmund and Ajax is the best way to qualify.
