Football’s First Defender
Chapter 691: Top 5 Championship
This is a game that will go to the end.
Liverpool led, and the home team Norwich completed the reversal.
When Norwich 3-1 in the second half extended the lead to 2 goals, some people thought that Liverpool was not lucky enough, but Liverpool scored 3 goals in more than 10 minutes and regained the lead 4 to 3 .
After that, Norwich continued to besiege before the end, and in stoppage time, scored another goal and scored a perfect tie.
The result was Liverpool's last moment, offering a lore. Yang Feng was in the penalty area and grabbed the first spot, assisted teammate Lallana to complete the last-minute lore.
5 to 4, in the final battle, Liverpool won the victory.
Although this is an away game, he lost 4 goals in the face of the underdogs, which exposed many problems with the team in the defense.
But Klopp still praised his players' offensive performance after the game, as well as their perseverance at the end.
In the league, a victory is the most important thing, it represents 3 points, whether it is a multi-goal victory, or a small victory with a single goal, a zero-block opponent, or multiple goals scored by the opponent.
As long as you can win, that is the most unpretentious 3 points, which is to advance further in the standings to the end.
Relying on this wave of consecutive victories, Liverpool's ranking in the standings has quietly come to second place.
Since Liverpool's previous victory over Arsenal, Arsenal have been in a slump in recent times and have made consecutive mistakes. The current standings situation has evolved into a five-strong hegemony.
At the top of the list is Leicester City, the biggest dark horse of the season, with 47 points leading the way.
The media finally began to face the big dark horse of Leicester City.
The super defensive strength, and the performance of offensive scoring at every critical moment, let everyone realize the power of this team.
After that, the semi-finals are all six giants.
Manchester City, Tottenham and Liverpool are all catching up. After the new year, with a better record, they directly caught up with the championship group.
Among them, Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal, who have played poorly recently, have the same score of 44 points, ranking 2, 3, and 4, and they are only 3 points away from Leicester City.
Because the goal difference of these three teams is actually better than Leicester City in accordance with the principle of prioritizing the comparison of goal difference with the same points.
Tottenham scored 42 points, keeping a lot of pressure on the top four.
Since every team has made mistakes, the championship situation after the New Year this time is somewhat confusing.
For Liverpool, where every point is important, their newest opponent in the league is now the top of the standings, the number one Leicester City.
In the previous home game, Liverpool defeated Leicester City and successfully narrowed the difference between the two teams.
The difference between the two teams was further narrowed when the two teams met after a month.
For Liverpool, if they can beat Leicester City in the early game at home, then they will try the Premier League leader for the first time this season.
But before this crucial battle in the league, Liverpool still have to play an FA Cup game in the middle of the week.
For Klopp, the team was eliminated early in the League Cup battlefield, or let Klopp have some ideas about the FA Cup.
After all, this is his first year in Liverpool, a Champions League seat, and preferably a championship accounted for, then Klopp should have performed well in his first season.
After all, Liverpool was a champion before, and the double champions of the league and the Champions League still put Klopp under certain pressure.
Even though fans have recently expressed their support for Klopp in various evaluations outside the stadium, Klopp still feels that a championship trophy in the first season will be the most powerful for his prospects in Liverpool. support.
In today's Premier League, five teams compete for the championship, and their points are staggered. Even if they have confidence in their own team, no one can say what will happen in the next few months.
Therefore, whether the Premier League title can be won is only tentative.
In the Champions League, although Liverpool is the defending champion, everyone knows that no team has successfully defended the title since the restructuring of the Champions League.
The defending champion is the most targeted in the Champions League, so for Liverpool, even if they want to become the first team to successfully defend the title, the inevitably hardships in the knockout process are also a reality.
The FA Cup, although it may involve some of the team's energy at this time, but it is also possible to try out the replacement lineup.
Of course, for the midfielder, which consumes a lot of energy, and two full-backs, Klopp still wants to save more energy.
After all, the Premier League is what is fundamental to Liverpool.
Moreover, this weekend is still against a strong enemy like Leicester City.
In terms of personnel matching, Yang Feng and Lovren started, and Flanagan also got a chance to play after returning from injury.
The goalkeeper is still Mignole.
While Lucas and Emre Can lead the team's midfielder, the forward is the stage played by Benteke and Danny Ince~lightnovelpub.net~ Although it may not be Liverpool's current regular main force , But the player’s personal strength lies there.
To be able to make Liverpool spend a lot of money, buy it, must have a certain personal strength.
Although the lineup is a little pieced together, Klopp just wants to retire on the road.
Moreover, what if West Ham United has not sent its main lineup?
Then Liverpool may still be the more dominant side.
After all, there is Yang Feng on the court, playing his defensive role in defending the opponent's counterattack.
Liverpool do not need to be afraid of the opponent's counterattack. It only needs to continuously invest in the number of offensives, and use the number of offensives in the frontcourt to create attacking opportunities.
As Klopp imagined, for West Ham United, the FA Cup is not so important.
For the current situation of the Premier League, the difference between the six giants and other teams is still too much.
Although there is a dark horse in the league this year, Leicester City, but the two cups, not surprisingly, are also reserved for the giants.
Every season, although there are always big teams overturning.
But there are more rollovers, so naturally there will always be one or two teams that will suddenly get serious and compete for the final championship.
For the players of these mid-lower teams, they are also more willing to show themselves on a big stage like the Premier League instead of fighting hard in the less focused FA Cup games.
Liverpool defeated West Ham United 2-0.
Both sides are playing on the bench, but it is obvious that Liverpool's team lineup is more intense, exerting strength on the away game, winning, and with a winning streak, preparing to face the leaders of the weekend.
