723 The final challenge of the race
After Liverpool advanced to the semi-finals in the Champions League, they rushed to the Hawthorn Stadium to challenge West Brom on the weekend.
After winning and a stable and strong swing in many consecutive games, Liverpool's performance finally fell. West Brom played for relegation, but they were 5 points higher than the relegation zone, so being able to score 1 point will basically consolidate their advantage in relegation.
West Brom, who was united, sniped Liverpool at home. They broke the deadlock with a counterattack, and then Liverpool equalized 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 somewhat depressed. In the last game, Mbappe, who had overdrawn his physical fitness in almost 60 minutes, was on hold in this game. Mahrez's performance in the game was a bit dull. He might also hope to have a performance that shocked everyone like Mbappe, but in the end he was a little anxious but couldn't play well.
After the game, Situ Yunbing said in an interview: "We fight on multiple fronts and it is impossible for us to continue to win. Now we give Chelsea a chance. If they defeat Arsenal, then they will tie us in points."
The focus battle of this round was staged at the Emirates Stadium, with Arsenal playing against Chelsea at home.
Wenger was humiliated by Mourinho again and again, but Mourinho never expected that Wenger had given a massacre gift in a thousand games. When Chelsea urgently needed three points to compete for the championship, Arsenal also focused on sniping them!
However, when everyone watched that game, they would still focus on Mourinho.
o:o!
Chelsea missed the opportunity to tie Liverpool’s points!
Fleet Street unanimously warned Mourinho after the game!
"The conservative Chelsea will miss the opportunity to challenge Liverpool!"
Maybe they have missed the opportunity!
You should know that in the most critical stage of the championship, Chelsea will have no other tasks after being eliminated from the Champions League. They will concentrate on playing the league. If they cannot prepare sufficiently and give it a try in the game, what will Liverpool, who is fighting on the third-line, take advantage of fighting?
The 34th round of the British league ends.
Liverpool still leads Chelsea by 2 points and plays one less game!
Other teams have no war in the middle of the week, but Liverpool will play 33 rounds of league make-up.
Continue to go to the away game, this time I will challenge Hull City.
Relegation teams are a bit difficult to play at this stage, but Situ Yunbing still insists on rotating to ensure that the main lineup can take into account both the Champions League semi-finals or the end of the league at the last moment of the season.
Hull City performed tenaciously at home, while Liverpool took the lead away with a crucial goal with Sane, who performed well.
But what Situ Yunbing unexpectedly was that at the last moment of the game, Hull City's set-piece offense knocked on Liverpool's gate in the injury time!
Another 1:1 game, and the results of this game definitely made Situ Yunbing very dissatisfied.
He shook his head and sighed in an interview after the game: "In the last moment, we had obvious relaxation, and had to use foul methods to curb the opponent's counterattack, and then gave the opponent a chance to set the ball. Such a mistake is too unreasonable. There are only 4 games left in the league. Now we are only three points ahead of Chelsea. We might have been able to secure the English championship 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 has really reached the point where they can't make mistakes anymore!"
Because the team actually performed well enough throughout the season.
They survived the autumn and winter of injuries, and they also showed amazing strength in multi-line battles and set some records. If they were to make mistakes in two league games within 4 days, or to issue solemn warnings, this might be a bit too much, and it would easily cause emotional tension in the whole team.
Now he uses a gentle way to remind the whole team, and hopes that the whole team can pay attention to his attitude.
Entering May, in the 35th round of the UK league, Liverpool will play against the Queen's Park Rangers at home.
Queens Park Rangers rank second to last in the league. Compared with Liverpool's previous two opponents who needed to relegate, Queens Park Rangers' situation is much worse, and the situation forces them to score as much as possible away games. Teams with higher points than relegation zones can get at least 1 point to consolidate their relegation advantages. However, if teams in the relegation zone want to get ashore, they must get more points to have hope.
This also determines that the Queen Park Rangers cannot achieve absolute calmness and calmness in this game.
Liverpool sent the main lineup to face the game, but the team's tactical deployment did not speed up the pace of the game to the peak!
Controlling it to a certain high rhythm can bring pressure to the opponent.
Because Liverpool will face Real Madrid at home in 4 days!
The Reds lived up to expectations and easily defeated the Queens Park Rangers at home. When Gareth Bale's powerful shot in the penalty area line penetrated their goal, the Queens Park Rangers' mentality collapsed. The whole team counterattacked like a beast, but exposed more conspicuous flaws. In front of Liverpool, they were easily defeated by Liverpool!
Mbappe scored twice in the game and was substituted. Lewandowski added icing on the cake. Liverpool finally defeated his opponent 5:0 at home!
In the same league round, Chelsea beat Crystal Palace 1:0 at Stamford Bridge.
The 35th round of England ended, and Liverpool led the standings!
Liverpool, 84 points.
Chelsea, 81 points.
Arsenal, 71 points.
Manchester City, 7o points.
Manchester United, 65 points.
The championship will only be 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. In the next round, they will go to Stamford Bridge to stage a championship finale with Chelsea!
Before and after this game, Liverpool will play two matches with Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals!
It is hard to say that Liverpool will definitely win the Champions League title after passing Real Madrid. However, if they lose to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, Liverpool will definitely have to win all the last two rounds of the league to defend their title successfully, but their mentality will inevitably be in a state of high tension.
So at this time, many people were nervous and couldn't feel relaxed at all.
The Champions League semi-finals are coming. At the pre-match press conference, Situ Yunbing said when 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. Strong teams will definitely meet and fight frequently, and this time we met Real Madrid in the semi-finals.
I think fans all over the world are familiar with Real Madrid, and we are also looking forward to a peak showdown. 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 with a joking look: "What if the result of this classic battle is that Liverpool was eliminated? Will you be proud?"
Situ Yunbing shrugged and said, "If Liverpool's swing is not a problem, we will do our best but we will eventually be eliminated. I will also be proud of the team. Football is like this. No one can keep winning, and Liverpool is no exception. If the opponent eliminates us, I think I will wish them a blessing to win in the finals because they eliminated the defending champion and their strength is absolutely strong!"
Ancelotti mentioned last year's Champions League final at the pre-match press conference. He said: "I don't think there is a clear gap in strength between Real Madrid and Liverpool. The victory or defeat of the game depends more on the players' on-the-spot play. Just like in the Champions League final last season, Gareth Bale dominated the game, and he decided the title of the championship. That's all, I think Real Madrid players also have such genes, and we can also have players to decide on the game!"
The outside world will naturally think of Ronaldo. Indeed, as the top card of Real Madrid, Ronaldo's condition and play do have a direct influence on the game, even decisive.
In the era of superstars, the role of superstars has become the decisive force in the game.
Although in the past era, superstar power has always been considered to have a huge influence on the game, it has not been as strong as superstars in this era!
Like Messi, Ronaldo, and Liverpool's Gareth Bale, their form has been extended, and the period of impact on the team on the game decision has also been extended. The data of scoring 40 goals in the season is enough to ensure that the bottom line of the giants is raised.
Even though Gareth Bale does not have 4O goals, if assists are included, it is normal for him to create 4O 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's second year in coaching Bayern Munich secured the league championship early.
But it seems that they have never found their form in the European arena. For example, in the quarter-finals, they lost 1:3 to Porto, which is a very obvious sign!
In other words, let Real Madrid, Liverpool and Barcelona play Porto away, even if you lose, you will never lose two goals. Losing is the bottom line, and it is highly likely to win or take away the draw and escape!
It is very abnormal that Bayern Munich can lose two goals, so it is not surprising that they were defeated by Barcelona at the Camp Nou!
European media have regarded Barcelona as one of the participating teams in the Champions League final this season. There is basically no "probability hope" for Bayern Munich to make a comeback.
Chapter completed!
