Chapter 723 The final challenge of the .723 schedule
After Liverpool reached the semi-finals in the Champions League, they went to the Hawthorn Stadium to challenge West Brom at the weekend.
After many consecutive victories and stable and strong performances, Liverpool’s performance finally fell. West Brom fought to relegation, but they were 5 points higher than the relegation zone, so they could get 1 point, basically. Will consolidate their advantage of relegation.
The united West Brom sniped Liverpool at home, they broke the deadlock with a counterattack, and then Liverpool tied the score with Lewandowski’s goal.
But in the end neither team was able to rewrite the score.
The 1:1 draw made Situ Yunbing a little bit depressed. The last game of Mbappe, who overdrawn his physical fitness within 60 minutes, truce in this game. Mahrez’s performance in the starting lineup was slightly flat, and he might also hope There was a performance like Mbappé, but in the end it was a little impatient but did not perform well.
Situ Yunbing said in an interview after the match: “We fight on multiple fronts and cannot always win. Now we have given Chelsea a chance. If they beat Arsenal, they will tie us in points.”
The focus of this round of the battle was staged at the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal played against Chelsea at home.
Wenger was humiliated by Mourinho three or four times, but Mourinho never thought that he had given Wenger a slaughter gift in 1,000 games. When Chelsea desperately needed three points for the championship, Arsenal did. Snipe them wholeheartedly!
But when everyone watched that game, they still focused on Mourinho.
0:0!
Chelsea missed the chance to tie Liverpool’s points!
After the Fleet Street game, Mourinho unanimously issued a warning!
“Conservative Chelsea will miss the opportunity to challenge Liverpool!”
Maybe they have missed the opportunity!
We must know that in the most critical stage of the championship, after Chelsea are eliminated from the Champions League, there will be no other front tasks. They concentrate on playing the league. At this time, if they can’t adequately prepare for the game and let them go in the game, they will take the third line of Liverpool. What to fight for?
The 34th round of the Premier League ended.
Liverpool still leads Chelsea by 2 points and one less game!
The other teams in the week have nothing to do with each other, but Liverpool have to play 33 league rounds.
Continue to go to the away game, this time to challenge Hull City.
Relegation teams are a bit difficult to play at this stage, but Situ Yunbing still insists on rotation to ensure that the main lineup can take care of whether it is the Champions League semi-finals or the end of the league at the end of the season.
Hull City performed tenaciously at home, and Liverpool took the lead on the away game by scoring a vital goal for the team with the outstanding performance of Sane.
What only made Situ Yunbing unexpected is that in the final moments of the game, during injury time, Hull City’s set-piece attack knocked on Liverpool’s gate!
It was another 1:1. The result of this game definitely made Situ Yunbing very dissatisfied.
He shook his head in an interview after the game and sighed: “At the last moment, we had a clear relaxation. We were forced to take fouls to curb the opponent’s counterattack, and then gave the opponent the opportunity to set the ball. This kind of mistake is too unacceptable. There are 4 games left, and now we are only 3 points ahead of Chelsea. We might be able to lock the Premier League title in the past two league games, but now we have to regain the rhythm and make our next game particularly critical.
I don’t want to say that, but Liverpool really has reached the point where no more mistakes can be made! ”
Because the team actually performed well enough throughout the season.
They have survived the fall and winter affected by injuries, they have also shown amazing strength in multi-line combat, and have also set some records. If they become angry or give a serious warning just because of the mistakes in two league games in 4 days, this may be It’s really too much, but it’s easy to cause emotional tension in the team.
Now he reminds the team in a gentle way and hopes that the team can value his attitude.
Entering May, the 35th round of the Premier League, Liverpool played at home against the Queens Park Rangers.
The Queens Park Rangers rank second in the league. Compared to Liverpool’s two previous opponents who need to be relegated, the Queen’s Park Rangers are in a much worse situation, and the situation also forces them to score as many points as possible in the away game. The points are higher. The team in the relegation zone at least scores 1 point to consolidate the advantage of relegation, but the team in the relegation zone wants to land, it must get more points for hope.
This also determines that the Queen’s Park Rangers in this game cannot be absolutely calm and calm in their mentality.
Liverpool sent the main lineup to meet, but the team’s tactical deployment did not accelerate the pace of the game to its peak!
Control at a certain high rhythm, which can bring pressure to the opponent.
Because Liverpool will play Real Madrid at home in 4 days!
The Red Army lived up to expectations and easily defeated the Queens Park Rangers at home. When Gareth Bale’s shot from the penalty area line penetrated their goal, the mentality of the Queens Park Rangers collapsed, and the team counterattacked like beasts. , But exposed more conspicuous flaws in front of Liverpool, was easily defeated by Liverpool!
Mbappe was replaced after scoring twice in the game. Lewandowski was the icing on the cake. Liverpool finally beat the opponent 5:0 at home!
In the same round of the league, Chelsea beat Crystal Palace 1-0 at Stamford Bridge.
After 35 rounds of the Premier League, Liverpool leads the standings!
Liverpool, 84 points.
Chelsea, 81 points.
Arsenal, 71 points.
Manchester City, 70 points.
Manchester United, 65 points.
The championship will only be produced between Liverpool and Chelsea, and whether Manchester United can enter the top four depends on the faces of Arsenal and Manchester City.
The test of Liverpool at the last moment of the schedule has come. The next round they will go to Stamford Bridge to stage a final battle with Chelsea!
And before and after this game, Liverpool will play against Real Madrid in two Champions League semi-finals!
It’s hard to say that Liverpool will be able to win the Champions League after wading through Real Madrid, but if they lose to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, Liverpool will absolutely have to win the final two rounds to defend their title, but their mentality will inevitably be high In a state of tension.
So many people’s nerves are tense at this time, and they can’t relax at all.
The Champions League semi-finals are coming. At the pre-match press conference, Situ Yunbing said while looking forward to the game: “Real Madrid is Liverpool’s old opponent. We met them in the final last season. I think this is the main theme of the Champions League. There will definitely be frequent encounters and fights between the strong teams, and this time we met Real Madrid in the semifinals.
For Real Madrid, I think fans all over the world are familiar with it, and we are also looking forward to a peak matchup. If we can leave some classic games in a season, then as the head coach, I am also very proud. ”
A reporter asked Situ Yunbing jokingly: “What if Liverpool were eliminated as a result of this classic battle? Would you also be proud of it?”
Situ Yunbing shrugged and said: “If Liverpool’s performance is no problem, I think we will go all out but we will be eliminated. I will also be proud of the team. Football is like this. No one can win forever, neither will Liverpool. Exceptionally, if our opponents eliminated us, I think I would wish them victory in the finals, because they eliminated the defending champions, their strength is absolutely powerful!”
Ancelotti mentioned last year’s Champions League final at the pre-match press conference. He said: “I don’t think Real Madrid and Liverpool have a significant difference in strength. The outcome of the game depends more on the players’ performance. State, just like last season’s Champions League final, Gareth Bale dominated the game, he decided the title, nothing more, I think Real Madrid players also have this gene, we can also have players to decide the game!”
The outside world will naturally think of Ronaldo. Indeed, as Real Madrid’s top card, Ronaldo’s status and performance do have a direct influence on the game, and even decisive.
In the era of superstars, the role of superstars has become the decisive force of the game.
Although in the previous era, superstar power has always been considered to have a huge influence on the game, but it does not have such a strong continuity as the superstar in this era!
Like Messi, Ronaldo, Liverpool’s Gareth Bale, their status has continued for so long, and the cycle of influence on the team’s game decision has also been lengthened. The data of 40+ goals scored in the season is enough to ensure the giants. The bottom line was raised.
Even though Gareth Bale doesn’t have 40+ goals, if he counts assists, it is normal for him to create 40+ goals in a single season.
On the evening of May 6, Camp Nou.
In the Champions League semi-finals, Barcelona swept Bayern Munich led by Guardiola 3:0 at home!
Guardiola secured the league title early in his second year coaching Bayern Munich.
But in the European arena, it seems that they have never found their status. Like in the first round of the quarter-finals, their 1:3 loss to Porto is an obvious sign!
In other words, if Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Barcelona are three teams going to play Porto away, they will never lose two goals even if they lose. Losing is the bottom line, and winning or taking away the tie is a big deal. Probability thing!
Bayern Munich can lose two goals, which is very abnormal, it is not surprising that they were defeated by Barcelona at the Nou Camp!
European media have regarded Barcelona as one of the participating teams in the Champions League final this season, and Bayern Munich basically has no “probability hope” for a comeback.
Since then, the Spanish media are almost crazy to beat Real Madrid, they naturally expect that the other team in the Champions League final is Real Madrid!
