Football’s First Defender

Chapter 346: Advance

Although they lost to the Queen's Park Rangers who were eager to relegation, Liverpool fans are extremely optimistic about the team's future league prospects.

With 9 rounds left in the league, Liverpool's next schedule can be said to be the easiest among the four groups.

Except in the penultimate round, Liverpool need to face the traditional giants, Yang Feng's old club Chelsea, the other opponents are the middle and lower reaches of the league, enough for Liverpool to grab points in the final stage.

Facts have proved that Liverpool's league record has not been affected by the loss to QPR. The team, as always, has played an excellent level of strength on the road to abuse.

The team first easily defeated Wigan Athletic 2-0 at home and stopped the previous away defeat.

Although in the next round of the match, Newcastle was facing away, Liverpool once again generously gave a big gift and was tied 2-2 by Newcastle.

But in the next two rounds, Liverpool defeated Villa 2-0 at home and defeated Blackburn 3-0 at the away game. Both games completed zero blocks and played at least two goals by attacking. This proved to the fans that Liverpool still It's an excellent team.

After this game, Liverpool scored 65 points and successfully surpassed Tottenham to the third place in the league.

Due to the injury of the core midfielder Modric, Tottenham Bell looked lonely, and the recent league results have begun to decline.

The third-ranked Liverpool team can more stabilize their Champions League places.

For the fourth-placed Tottenham and Arsenal, who have the same points as Tottenham, although they completely threw away the sixth place Chelsea in the league results, the progress of Chelsea in the Champions League has allowed them to compete for the first place. Fourth, they may not enter the Champions League next season.

Chelsea, who strategically abandoned the Premier League, began to focus on the Champions League.

Although Chelsea's internal turmoil was a bit turbulent this season, Di Matteo hurriedly took office in the latter part of the season.

In terms of tactical command ability, Di Matteo may not be able to compare with several predecessors, but his ability to deal with the problems inside the Chelsea dressing room is still very good.

After all the players were twisted into a rope by Di Matteo, with Chelsea's Champions League winning team, a group of unwilling "old boys" stumbled all the way to the Champions League semi-finals.

So for Chelsea, as long as they can work harder and fight for three Champions League matches, they are very likely to win the final Champions League. Next season, they will enter the Champions League as the defending champion. This is for the two of the four. A Premier League team is definitely not good news.

As Liverpool reversed to win the Champions League, but did not enter the top four in the league, there were still some loopholes in the Champions League promotion rules, and had to make an exception to add a team, forming a grand scene of five Premier League teams.

And now, with the further revision of the Champions League rules, if Chelsea can successfully win the Champions League, of course, it can realize the curve of the strategy of saving the country and enter the Champions League next season.

But fourth in the Premier League, we have to "reluctantly" to play the Europa League.

In terms of the current situation in the standings, for the sake of safety, everyone is no longer competing for the previous four, but the three is more secure, but Liverpool has an absolute advantage.

In the league, while Liverpool is advancing, it also continues to move forward in the FA Cup.

In the FA Cup semi-final, another Merseyside Derby staged.

This time in the neutral stadium, the red and blue teams launched a more fierce battle. If the league at the time, it was only because of the Derby that Everton was disgusting Liverpool's performance in the league. So this game, but it involves the final championship award and honor.

Neutral court, for both teams, there is no favorable factor, and the number of fans of the two teams is almost the same.

In their respective cheering voices, Liverpool, which is still superior in strength, is even better.

It was Yang Feng who opened the deadlock for Liverpool first.

In the middle of the first half, in a corner kick tactic, Yang Feng ran out of the pre-determined tactics and chose to go to the back point in the opposite direction, using a control to accurately header and set the record for Liverpool.

Then came the hand-to-hand battle between the midfielders of the two teams. Most of the players of the two teams fought fiercely in the midfield, and the battle for the ball between the two teams became fierce, turning the midfield into a meat grinder, and the number of fouls rose extremely.

Throughout the first half, Liverpool and Everton, the two teams were shown a total of 7 yellow cards, and each other's anger came up.

In the second half of the game, Fellaini used as a defensive midfielder to rush forward, avoiding Liverpool’s Yang Feng and Scotter’s defenses. A very tricky header fell. Everton just started the second half. The score equalized.

The subsequent game was in a stalemate, but as Dalglish replaced Kuyt, Maxi and other new forces, Liverpool's offensive remained quite consistent.

In the 76th minute, Liverpool seized an opportunity to counterattack. After Yang Feng intercepted the ball in the backcourt, he made a long pass to find Carroll in the front.

Carol headed for the first landing point, and the ball was placed on the right to Kuyt. This time Kuyt directly chose to hit the ground with a flat ball and swept the ball to the center. ~lightnovelpub.net~ Suarez, who followed up, succeeded with a kick and helped Liverpool achieve a 2-1 lead.

In the final stage of the game, it was Liverpool's turn to begin to show the defensive skills of these time practice.

The team relied on close defense and Yang Feng's outstanding personal performance. Before the big penalty area, the team formed a tight defensive net to prevent Everton's pass penetration.

Occasionally missed passes, with Yang Feng's excellent defense, will not give the opponent too many offensive opportunities.

In the end, this Merseyside derby ended with a victory for the red side. In the FA Cup match, Liverpool also managed to reach the last step, to compete for the second championship of the season!

Singing forward to describe this Liverpool team now fits perfectly.

After reaching the final of the FA Cup, Liverpool, which has devoted itself to the three major industries, also continued to play triumph in the league.

First, they easily defeated the visiting West Bromwich 3-1 at home.

Then on the away scene against the desperate Norwich, with Suarez and Carol's double guns, Liverpool won the away game 2-0.

In the penultimate round of the league, Liverpool faced Fulham at home, and Fulham, who also had no performance requirements, lost at Anfield even in the face of Liverpool's rotation with a few players resting.

With a score of 1 to 0, Liverpool won this crucial league victory with minimal consumption.

With a wave of five consecutive victories in the league, Liverpool and Arsenal, who are fourth in the league, opened a 7-point gap with two rounds in the league. Liverpool's third place in the league was completely retained, and next season's Champions League qualification was also retained. Up.

They only have the last game of the season that needs to be prepared with all their energies, which is the FA Cup final with Chelsea!
