The 267th chapter is signed (the third one asks for a monthly pass)

Liverpool was tied by Fulham, Manchester United beat Newcastle away, and there was a lot of suspense about the ownership of the Premier League champion this season, which everyone thought there was no suspense.

For several days, the media in England have been discussing this matter.

The difference of five points is not too much, but not too much.

To say a lot, it is really not much compared to the previous very gap. It only took two games to halve the very gap. How long can the remaining five points be maintained?

If you say less, there are still two games. As long as Liverpool play well in the next game, they can still maintain this advantage.

But after that, the two teams had another head-to-head confrontation. It was a decisive battle that was worth six points and related to the ownership of the league champion.

Liverpool will go to the away game to challenge Manchester United. If the two sides are still five points apart before then, as long as Liverpool can beat Manchester United, the point difference will be re-opened to eight points. This will definitely be a heavy blow for Manchester United. For Liverpool, it was a morale boost.

If Manchester United beat Liverpool at home, the gap between the two sides is only two points. Then Liverpool really can't make any mistakes. As long as they lose one game, Manchester United can turn defeat into victory and complete an amazing reversal.

Many people regard this game as a suspenseful decisive battle for the championship this season.

For Mancini, this perception is a big injury. Because it means that no one regards Manchester City as a strong contender for the league title.

Although Manchester City is indeed far from Liverpool now... They are five points behind Manchester United, not to mention the points gap with Liverpool.

And his team has ended two rounds with Liverpool, they can not use actual action to stop Liverpool.

Now they have one remaining Manchester derby against Manchester United.

The Manchester City people must be very contradictory now. Are they trying their best to block Manchester and let Liverpool successfully ascend the league throne, or let Manchester United go and let Manchester United go to and Liverpool to kill it inextricably?

These two teams are their mortal enemies... They can't accept helping anyone. They want to see both teams unlucky and win the championship by themselves. It's just that this kind of thinking is just wishful thinking...

Manchester City is tangled.

Ended the league with Fulham, in another venue, the Champions League quarter-final draw results page came out.

This time without any luck, Liverpool got the strongest enemy they could get-Real Madrid!

"Real Madrid now has a chance to avenge the loss of the European Super Cup at the beginning of the season!"

"Our reporter noticed that when he drew Liverpool, Real Madrid coach Mourinho curled his lips. I don’t know if he expressed disdain for Liverpool, or thinks the result of the draw was terrible... But Mourinho denied it. , He said that no matter what opponent is drawn, Real Madrid will stick to its own style of play and will not be moved by the opponent..."

"The most exciting matchup in the Champions League this season, strong dialogue, don't miss it! For fans, this match is a must-see giants matchup! But for Real Madrid and Liverpool fans, it is obviously not a good result. ...Liverpool has beaten Real Madrid in the European Super Cup, so Real Madrid people must be very aware of Liverpool's power. For Liverpool, Real Madrid is also a formidable opponent..."

"Martin O'Neal is confident about defeating Real Madrid. He said he was very happy to draw Real Madrid because he had the opportunity to prove to everyone that Liverpool, which defeated Real Madrid in the European Super Cup, was not a fluke..."

Martin O'Neill threw the newspaper aside, but this time the newspaper did not arrange his words indiscriminately. They reported the truth, but he was wrong!

He is very happy to draw Real Madrid? He is happy ass!

He said this in order not to lose first in momentum, to cheer Liverpool players and to instill confidence. He actually wanted to get the weakest Porto in the quarterfinals!

As a result, this team even allowed Manchester United to be drawn.

Did God do it with me deliberately? O'Neill thought.

Manchester United drew such a weak opponent, they can easily advance to the semi-finals, and even if they successfully advance, they must have gone through two hard fights.

This consumption is not generally large.

Can it be compared?

The match against Manchester United in the Premier League was after the end of the Champions League quarter-finals. At that time, Manchester United is at home again, waiting for work, while Liverpool is a tired division. Going to the away game has many disadvantages, plus its own situation... This game is simply too bad!

In fact, when O'Neal saw his team and Real Madrid drawn together at the scene, he was already thinking about whether to give up the Champions League this season altogether...

Efforts to win a league championship, it is better than the last bamboo basket to get nothing, okay?

Moreover, the league championship is of great significance to Liverpool people. If you have to choose one, it is easier to win the hearts of Liverpool people than to win the Champions League, right?

He still has such thoughts up to now. He began to carefully consider the feasibility of this... After considering it for a while, he shook his head and threw the idea out of his mind-he dispelled it.

Deliberately abandoning the Champions League, it must be a big blow to the team's morale.

Because the media has already speculated on the match between Liverpool and Real Madrid to this point, it was almost impossible to say that this is a "European Derby"... If you give up first, what will the players think? If the opponent is too strong, then admit defeat, then simply give up the league, because the opponent is equally strong.

This tone should not be vented by any means. If he admits defeat now, he might as well admit defeat in the game against Juventus. Otherwise, what's the point of his previous ability, even at the expense of the league, to ensure the morale of the team in the Champions League?

In order to keep the team from venting this tone, he knew that the team was exhausted, and he had to start all the main players in the second round against Juventus, and finally won a narrow victory.

If he really gave up, why did he and the players work so hard before?

It's not that the Champions League can't be lost, it's not that it can't be eliminated, but can't go home in this way, it's too morale hurt! We can accept inferior skills, bad luck... and so on, but we can’t accept the practice of surrendering in advance.

No matter how difficult it is, O'Neal also intends to break his wrists with Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Real Madrid now ranks first in La Liga, qualified in the UEFA Champions League with a record of all victories, and after the knockouts, they also won two games, even better than Barcelona's performance.

Under the leadership of Mourinho, Real Madrid seems to have been on the right track.

If Liverpool can beat such a team again, then not only tell the outside world, but also tell their own players that they beat Real Madrid in the Super Bowl before, it is really not a fluke!

For Liverpool, this can greatly increase the confidence of the players. It will also be of great benefit to the next battle with Manchester United for the championship in the league. Maybe just because of the increased confidence, Liverpool will be able to beat Manchester United away?

The reason is very simple-we can all eliminate such a powerful Real Madrid, why would you be afraid of you being a little Manchester United? What if you are at home? Don’t Real Madrid have a home court? Manchester United's current strength is obviously not as good as Real Madrid.

The results of the quarter-final draw came out, and the happiest person was Ferguson, not only because he was drawn to Porto, the weakest eight-final team. More importantly, Liverpool drew the hard bones of Real Madrid.

He knows Martin O'Neal, he also knows Liverpool, and he knows that it is impossible for O'Neal to give up the game with Real Madrid. Even if you want to give up the Champions League, that is not to give up in these two games.

So it is conceivable that Liverpool will inevitably have a fierce battle at that time.

These two games will definitely consume a lot of their energy.

No matter what the result is, it is a good thing for Manchester United.

The river clams fight, Manchester United only need to take advantage of the fisherman.

Regardless of whether Liverpool wins or loses, they will inevitably pay a heavy price. If they win, they will have to bear two more Champions League semi-finals, which is a big burden for Liverpool.

If you lose, the blow of being eliminated will not disappear so easily, and it will definitely affect the Premier League decisive battle between Liverpool and Manchester United.

Ferguson now feels that the price he has paid before is worth it, because of such good luck. It's really keeping the clouds clear and the fog clearing, and the clouds will see the sun!

With such good luck, God is helping Manchester United.

Liverpool you are dead!

Before the UEFA Champions League quarter-final with Real Madrid, Liverpool have two more league games to play.

They are the 30th round of the league against West Ham United, and the 31st round of the league against Tottenham Hotspur.

Especially the game against Tottenham. After this game, Liverpool will face Real Madrid at home.

In the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals home and away order, Liverpool is also not dominant this time, it is really bad luck.

Not only did he run into a formidable opponent, he had to be the master before the offense. After playing the home game, they have to hand over their destiny to each other.

So this home game becomes extremely important.

If Liverpool can't win Real Madrid cleanly at home, and can't make a few more goal differences, they will go to the Bernabéu in the second round, they will be more fortunate...

Therefore, the match against Tottenham may have to be sacrificed again...

Now Martin O'Neal feels that the very advantage that once made him feel at ease is actually nothing at all! The opponent only took two games to catch up with only five points left...

Maybe... next time you have to be twenty points ahead to insure?
