Chapter 68: Terror

In the second half after 4-0, both sides had no intention of continuing to attack, and ended hastily, and even did not add a minute of injury time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

'Liverpool swept 4-0 in the FA Cup semi-finals, which broke our perception again.

However, due to the fact that the score was so big, the English media were reluctant to report the news about the game, and the Spanish media were keen to analyse the game.

"We have all seen that even if Wang Zhen does not shoot, he is also the most threatening player on the field, and the strategy of marking Wang Zhen is right, but Manchester City's plastic surgery is too weak."

Of course, the Spaniards and the English have the same problem, that is, they think they are the best in the world, and no one else is in the stream.

Manchester City's squad is actually not bad, at least Pep Guardiola knows that.

At the same time, Real Madrid is pressing step by step, and Guardiola has to consider both the league title and the Champions League against Liverpool.

The only good news is that Chelsea lost.

One might ask what good news Chelsea's defeat is.

Counting Liverpool's points, they are currently nine points ahead of Chelsea in the Premier League.

Liverpool have one game in hand.

In other words, if Liverpool win at home to Birmingham, then the best option for Liverpool's title schedule is to fight Arsenal on April 28 to try to win the title early, so that the rest of the fixtures can be considered safe.

And April 27, it is Liverpool's home game against Barcelona!

On one side is the low-hanging fruit and will bring one of the most comfortable championship fixtures, and the FA Cup against Stoke City will be extremely easy, which means that two titles are guaranteed.

On the one hand, he is playing with Barcelona with all his might, giving up three league games in a row, and it is likely to be directly overturned by Chelsea, and the three jumpers will collapse together.

Let Liverpool choose, how will it choose?

Of course, some people will say, let's go for the Champions League, we have too many league titles, we have won the FA Cup many times.

But then again, the Champions League has been unstable, and Liverpool has won the Champions League many times, and it is not the first time to win the Champions League.

Everything still has to be seen, the 34th round of the league, April 23, at home to Birmingham.

And within the Liverpool team, this topic is also being discussed.

For the first time, Wang Zhen walked into Dalglish's office for the reason of discussing the schedule of the game.

Dalglish is also having a headache with this thing.

"Boss, I think we should win the league championship first."

'I think so too, but you have to give up one of those three games and you can't go wrong in the Champions League.

Wang Zhen took the schedule and crossed it out: "I think so, first of all, it is not a big problem to win Birmingham at home, we will win them first, and then play Barcelona at home, and also play with all the main forces, two games, physically keep up, and then play Arsenal away on the 28th, we will give up directly." ”

"Tell me why."

"First of all, the opponent Newcastle in the 35th round of the league is easier to deal with than Arsenal, Arsenal rushed to the fourth, and it is not good to be hard with them, second, I think most of the main players are okay to adapt to two games a week, three games a week is too much, and when playing Newcastle, we have to take into account the second leg of the Champions League, so I recommend that Kaka and Suarez rest for that game."

Dalglish couldn't help but laugh: "Is this an attack on the league title, how do I feel that I have given up two games, it is better to give up the game in Birmingham and get the ticket to the Champions League final first?" ”

'No, when I played Newcastle, I had three men with Steven Gerrard and Gareth Bale, so I was able to withstand it, and I had Babel in place of Luka Modric and Joe Cole on the left wing, and I was confident that I could win that game.

Dalglish thought carefully and frowned: "In this case, you, Gerrard and Bale have two games a week for three consecutive weeks, which is probably ......"

"I think so." Wang Zhen looked at Dalglish: "What's more, what if Chelsea loses again in a game?" Then we'll win the championship directly. ”

Liverpool have six league games left and Chelsea have five, with a nine-point difference.

If Liverpool have five games left and Chelsea have four games left, the points are stretched to 12 points, then it will be a direct title win, but it is only a theoretical possibility.

However, plans have not kept up with the changes.

On 23 April, Liverpool played Birmingham at home, and at the same time, Chelsea met Tottenham.

Tottenham also want to finish the season as fourth, and due to the high Champions League points of Liverpool and Manchester United, the fourth place in the Premier League next season will also qualify for the Champions League, and Tottenham definitely do not want to give up.

Playing Birmingham at home, Liverpool fans have already unfurled slogans and flags to win the championship.

In fact, Liverpool's players have lived up to the enthusiasm of the fans.

In the thirtieth minute of the game, Suarez, who has been in explosive form recently, scored the first goal, pushing his goal tally to the level of quasi-20, which can be regarded as entering the level of a first-class striker in the Premier League.

"Before the season, selling Torres and buying Suarez was the lowest-rated deal in the Premier League this year, however, Suarez quickly conquered the fans at Anfield, and at this stage, we suddenly found that Suarez has scored nearly 30 goals on all fronts, while Torres has only scored four goals at Chelsea, so to speak, Chelsea have been overshadowed by Liverpool."

'However, Torres is just out of form, injury-free and arguably not fit into Chelsea's current facelifts and tactics.

At the beginning of the second half, in the 46th minute of the game, Wang Zhen received a pass from Modric over the top, and continued to write his Premier League goal storm.

2-0, everyone in Birmingham knows that the general trend has gone, so they are unwilling to continue to attack, Liverpool also needs to rest, and the ink of the tacit understanding between the two sides is over the rest of the time, but KOP is getting more and more excited.

It wasn't until the end of the game that the Liverpool players knew the reason for the KOP's excitement.

On the other pitch, news came that Chelsea had been held to a draw by Tottenham.

In other words, Tottenham Hotspur continues to be fourth with Arsenal, while Liverpool are eleven points ahead of Chelsea!

Eleven points, all it takes is a draw to win the league title.

This is definitely a situation that no one expected.

No one expected Chelsea to collapse at the end of the game.

After the game, Dalglish directly told Wang Zhen not to leave first, and was going to have a coaching staff meeting, and informed Gerrard at the same time.

It's definitely a sign that Dalglish has a big move.

After the post-match press conference was hastily ended, everyone in Liverpool's coaching staff, including the two captains, Wang Zhen and Gerrard, gathered.

Dalglish looked serious: "I'm sure everyone has seen the news." ”

'Chelsea were drawn, good chance.

"That's right!" Dalglish excited: "It's a good opportunity! ”

"First of all, Barcelona are on the heels of Real Madrid, they have a lot of pressure in the league, and we have a chance to get out of that line first. My idea is that the number 27 will send a semi-main player to play with Barcelona, try to pursue a draw, and then on April 28, go all out to pursue a draw, as long as we draw with Arsenal, we will be the league champions, then we will not have any pressure in the Champions League and FA Cup, it is definitely worth the risk! ”

Very simply, if Liverpool wins the league championship first, in the second leg of the Champions League semifinals, Barcelona will use the main force to pursue the two league victories before and after the Champions League, and Liverpool will not have to worry about this problem, that is, if Liverpool wins the championship in advance, from now on, every game will actually be a weekly game!

'It's definitely a great opportunity to win the Champions League, we need it, I decided to take the risk, what do you think?'

Gerard nodded in agreement, and Wang Zhen looked up at Dalglish: "In the game of the twenty-seventh and twenty-eighth, I played in a row!" ”

"Huh?"
