Football’s First Defender

Chapter 595: Defending

   Reversal at home to win.

   Many years later, Liverpool once again reached the Champions League final.

  Promoting to the Champions League final also gave Liverpool a chance to strive to complete the triple crown this season.

   The English League Cup won earlier, the Premier League champion with a high probability, and the Champions League champion that will be determined afterwards.

   Liverpool needs a wave of champions to lay the foundation for the return of its own "Red Dynasty".

   Before the Champions League final, Liverpool will devote themselves to the league arena.

   In the last two rounds of the Premier League, Liverpool had a two-point lead and had the advantage of a goal difference, occupying the huge initiative in the championship.

   But before Liverpool played, there was good news.

   In the 37th round of the Premier League game, Chelsea, who played away, was blocked by West Bromwich Albion.

   The home team took the lead in the first half and scored a long-range goal. In the second half, relying on an efficient counterattack, they scored two goals again. In the end, they defeated Chelsea 3-1 and turned to help Liverpool defend the title.

   However, the midweek game against Barcelona was still too expensive.

   It is also possible that the Liverpool players were too relaxed because of Chelsea’s loss.

   Liverpool's away game against Stoke City, the game was pretty bad.

   Stoke City’s passing style played extremely well at home, while Liverpool players did not show their due strength without sufficient physical support.

   The final score was 1 to 1. When Stoke City was the first to score, relying on Coutinho's long shot, Liverpool had a difficult time equalizing the score and winning an away game.

  Although they were not able to win the championship early, Liverpool, which is leading by three points, is still on the goal difference and has a huge advantage of 8 goals. Chelsea wants to win the championship. There is only a theoretical possibility.

   But in the last round of the game, Liverpool still has to go all out, and it is also at home to draw a perfect end to this season.

   The final round of the Premier League, all matches will start at the same time.

   Liverpool are at home against Crystal Palace. Although the victory may not affect the suspense of the championship too much, Rogers still hopes to use a home victory to celebrate Liverpool's defending league championship.

Since the Champions League final will take place two weeks later, Liverpool does not have to worry about excessive physical exertion at this time. As long as the players are not injured and run more, there is no major problem. Liverpool has enough rest time. , And trim it later.

  433's regular starter, and the second round lineup against Barcelona, ​​there is no change.

   In the last round of the game, for Crystal Palace, the team was relegated early. In fact, it was already in a "holiday" state. With the championship almost no suspense, Crystal Palace performed quite aggressively in this game.

   At Anfield, he took the initiative to start a confrontation with Liverpool.

   Not to mention, Crystal Palace’s opening three-handedness did indeed disrupt Liverpool's tactical arrangement.

   After all, Rogers did not expect that there are midstream and downstream teams that would take the initiative to attack and try to suppress Liverpool at Anfield.

However, the English-style long pass of the Crystal Palace, although the scene seemed fierce and suppressed the Liverpool side for a certain period of time, but the pass into the penalty area was still easily resolved by Yang Feng and Scotter. .

   After having survived the opening attack of Crystal Palace, the Liverpool players began to gradually enter the game state.

   The team's passing offense, as well as the on-the-spot press after the offense, have begun to exert their power.

  The initiative of the game was firmly written by Liverpool and no longer gave Crystal Palace too many offensive opportunities.

   In the last Premier League game of the season, he was the first to explode his own ability. It is still this season, Liverpool's best player in the front court-Sterling.

   In the 23rd minute of the game, Sterling moved to the left through a position change with Coutinho, dribbled the ball and launched a strong jump.

   After a smash, after the defensive player’s uptake, Sterling dialed the ball with his right foot, and then hit the goal directly on the penalty area line.

   This kick is very powerful, the ball is fast, and the angle is controlled within the range of the door frame.

   The Crystal Palace goalkeeper struggled to save, but he was still a step slower.

   The ball quickly flew into the goal and hit the net.

After    Sterling confirmed the goal, he ran directly to the South Stand and performed an impromptu dance to celebrate with the fans in the Liverpool Kop Stand.

   Although the goal difference advantage is large enough, who can be unhappy to win the final round of the league?

  Crystal Palace, this game is a role to accompany the Prince to study, but a lot of players still want to make a good impression on the "Prince" in this game.

   After all, people go to high places and water flows to low places. Which player doesn't want to play for a rich team?

   The Crystal Palace players who do not have the pressure of the results and the results of the game behaved quite freely. They have to use their final performance to try to impress some wealthy scouts.

   One goal behind, in this kind of "unimportant" game, it will not affect the mentality of the Crystal Palace players. Everyone continues to show their strength in the game.

   Not to mention, it is this kind of peace of mind that makes the Crystal Palace players have extraordinary performance at Anfield.

   "Zhaha!"

   "One person connected two people on the left!"

   "Break into Liverpool's penalty area~lightnovelpub.net~ kick the door!"

   "GOAL!!!"

   "Zahha played his personal ability at the end of the first half and helped Crystal Palace equalize the score."

   The thigh of Crystal Palace is still the familiar thigh, even though Zaha is just a fledgling.

   But his strong personal strength is still revealed.

   Yang Feng's replenishment speed is not unpleasant, but Zaha still takes Yang Feng one step ahead and completes the goal, which slows Yang Feng's blockade by half a beat.

   However, in the second half of the game, Liverpool continued to maintain a crush on strength, and Crystal Palace eventually had a huge gap in overall strength.

   Sturridge also came off the bench to score a goal each in the second half to help Liverpool directly rewrite the score to 3-1.

   When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the Liverpool fans who had been celebrating the whole game broke out again with deafening shouts.

"we are the champion!"

   When the famous Queen’s song played at Anfield Stadium, many old Liverpool fans were already in tears with excitement.

   A year ago, they just celebrated the first Premier League championship trophy in team history and recovered the glory of the English top league championship that had been lost for more than 20 years.

   Today, a year later, under the circumstances of a bad start, they witnessed Liverpool's nirvana rebirth and saw these young people struggling to complete the feat of defending the championship.

  Moreover, the season is far from over. Liverpool still has a chance to chase the Champions League trophy and compete for more honors...
