Liverpool Football Club - General Discussion
by kozarets1914 » Mon Feb 23, 2004 4:21 pm
Well... the glorious Liverpool was led to the bottom by the awful french manager Houllier. Championship race expectations are narrowed down to 4-5th place - an embarassing fact for a club who has the most fascinating history in England and one of the best in Europe. Liverpool is thrown out of the FA Cup by the mediocre team of Portsmouth... sometimes it happens, but not that often when you pretend to be a club like Liverpool - a name which is pronounced with great respect(and nostalgy) all over the world. Champions League successes are more than dream in this moment, so all that's left for the cup-thirst of the LFC supporters is the UEFA Cup. And next step in this tournament is Levski Sofia... A faillure against the bulgarians will result in a deep crisis for the Pride of Mersyside... or maybe the opposite - it'll speed up the doom of Houllier who can participate in the contest "The worst football manager in the World"... and win it!
But who are Levski? Just another poor Eastern-european club with the great ambition to play in the Champions League soon. Or at least play some memorable games in Europe. I believe the LFS ask theirselves "who is Levski in Euro-tournaments?". Well since 1993 when we (I am a Levski supporter) threw out Glasgow Rangers from the Cup of the European Champions (3-2 in Scottland and 2-1 in Sofia) we didn't do anything worthy. We had some embarassing losts against Olimpia(Slovenia), Slovan(Slovakia), Aalst(Belgium) and FC Coppenhagen... Since 1999 there's a new Levski - we welcomed Liupko Petrovich in Sofia - the legendary serbian coach whose efforts led Crvena Zvezda(Belgrade) to the Cup of the Euro Champions in 1991... so in the autumn of 1999 we've reached the 2nd round of UEFA Cup (Bulgarian Clubs still play an extra round - quallifications for Euro-tournaments) where clashed Euro Superpower Juventus - Del Piero, Zidan, Boksich and co. We've lost 1-3 in Sofia, but played great game at "Delle Alpi" where got the draw 1-1 and had bad luck with goal cancelled by the refferee
Nextyear played in the quallifications for Champs League and lost agains turkish Beshiktash after beating 2 opponents. Next year same thing this time - Galatasaray 2-1 in Istanbul and 1-1 in Sofia (right after Galatasaray successful seazon in UEFA Cup). Next year it was Dynamo Kiev to end our hopes 0-1 in Sofia and 1-1 in Kiev (we've missed a penalty at 1-1
). Last year we've had an unlucky penalty heartbreak with Sturm(Austria) after 1-0 in Grats and 1-0 here. This year we kicked out Slavia Prague with 2 draws - 2-2 and 0-0. No one expects we're gonna do the same to LFC, but keep it in mind - you will meet an opponent ready to die for Euro success (win over LFC is one
), players who dream to play in The Premier League and fans who want and deserve happiness!
