743 won the championship early

In the 33rd round of the Premier League, Liverpool hosted Arsenal.

It was the first game since the Champions League defeat to Chelsea, with Rafael Benitez rotating the line-up, with Yang Yang and Steven Gerrard on the bench, with Gareth Bale and Benayoun getting the start.

After the game began, Liverpool still dominated the field, but Arsenal held solidly.

It wasn't until the start of the second half, in the 49th minute, that Sagna made a mistake in clearing, Kuyt crossed twice in a row from the right, and Crouch headed in the box to open the scoring for Liverpool.

Seven minutes later, it was Kuyt who stole Gibbs' ball and crossed from the right side of the penalty area, Benayoun cut in at high speed and headed home from close range to make it 2-0.

Although Arsenal fought back in the final stages of the game and pulled a goal back, in the end Liverpool defeated the Gunners 2-1 on their home turf and won the three points again.

…………

In the FA Cup semi-finals, Liverpool visited Old Trafford again.

Manchester United are almost hopeless in winning the Premier League, because if Liverpool beat Hull away in the next round, the Reds will win the title four rounds ahead of schedule, and the chances of Manchester United reversing are already slim.

In this case, Ferguson concentrated all his forces and focused on the FA Cup and Champions League competitions.

Benitez also focused on the cup competition, with Yang Yang and Gerrard and other key players starting in this game.

United have learned their previous lessons, even at their home turf, still playing defensively, while at right wing-back, O'Shea and Brown have failed to start, and instead have Brazilian youngster Rafael deployed.

The 18-year-old Brazilian has been a key target of Manchester United's right flank this season, making a number of appearances for the Reds in league and cup competitions, but his most important game so far has been the derby against Manchester City.

That time was also because of the injuries to O'Shea and Brown, and he got the opportunity.

But tonight was noticeably different.

Because, this time he faced Liverpool, who was like a wolf, and Yang Yang, the number one person in world football.

In the opening stage of the game, Manchester United focused on defense, supported by Fletcher in the midfield, Rafael was also trembling, not daring to be careless, but did not give Yang Yang too good a chance, but did not lose it.

But gradually, as the game deepened, especially when Yang Yang and Liverpool gradually stabilized their rhythm and entered the game, the pressure on Rafael was increasing.

Especially in the 22nd minute, Liverpool launched a quick attack to the right side of the field, Kuyt pressed Evra to top the ball, and then cut inside to Crouch.

The England tall dribbled the ball back and passed it to Gerrard, who was cut in behind.

In the process, Yang Yang quietly and suddenly from the left side of the front of the penalty area, quickly diagonally behind Ferdinand and Vidic, very fast, and quite resolute, by the time Rafael reacted and caught up, he had already rushed into the penalty area, and Gerrard's through ball also passed precisely behind Vidic and Evra.

……

Yang Yang slanted behind him...... Catch...... Get straight to your feet! ”

"The ball is in!!!!!"

"Wow, in the twenty-second minute, Yang Yang opened the scoring for Liverpool!"

'He looked very easy and it wasn't really difficult to score, it was mainly due to the cooperation of his team-mates, but the United defence was constantly pulled out of the gap.

"Eighteen-year-old Rafael obviously didn't keep up with Yang Yang, and he looked very annoyed."

"But here, I want to say to Raphael, boy, don't be frustrated, there are not many defenders in this world who can defend Yang Yang, at least you did a good job in the first twenty minutes, didn't you?"

……

Yang Yang's goal came easily, but it wasn't actually sudden.

In the first 20 minutes, Liverpool basically controlled the situation, and Manchester United was obviously affected by the previous heavy defeat, and never dared to press the attack in front of Liverpool.

Obviously, Ferguson is well aware that Benitez is desperate for them to press out and fight.

In the case of Cristiano Ronaldo's unsatisfactory performance this season, Manchester United has lost a weapon to counterattack, and its offensive strength has also been greatly affected.

It wasn't until Yang Yang opened the scoring that United began to show signs of aggressiveness and made a couple of dangerous attacks, but Reina's form tonight was consistent and never gave United a chance to score.

The two sides remained deadlocked until the 48th minute of the second half, when Yang Yang continued to threaten at the beginning, and forced a breakthrough through Rafael in a one-on-one situation with the ball on the left side, and crossed to the middle of the penalty area in front of the baseline.

Crouch nodded in front of the ball and Gerrard followed up with a close-range header to make it 2-0 for Liverpool.

The Reds then played more aggressively and in the 78th minute, Carlos Tevez pulled one back, but they were eliminated in a 2-1 defeat at home to Liverpool.

Liverpool defeated Manchester United 2-1 with goals from Yang Yang and Steven Gerrard and successfully advanced to the FA Cup final.

……

At Wembley Stadium in London, another FA Cup matchup, Chelsea take on Arsenal.

In the 18th minute, the Gunners scored through Gibbs and Walcott.

But in the 33rd minute, Frank Lampard set up Malouda to level the scores.

The two teams then fell into a stalemate, and it was not until the 84th minute that Frank Lampard set up Didier Drogba for the crucial goal.

In the end, Chelsea narrowly beat Arsenal 2-1 to meet Liverpool in the FA Cup final.

…………

…………

On the afternoon of April 25, Kingston Communications Stadium, Hull City, Yorkshire, England.

In the 34th round of the Premier League, Hull City hosted Liverpool.

When referee Martin Atkinson blew the final whistle, Liverpool's substitutes, who were already waiting on the sidelines, rushed onto the pitch and cheered wildly all the way.

The Liverpool fans who followed the team to the away stadium were equally thrilled, singing the Liverpool anthem throughout the game, and at the moment the whistle blew, they opened with another song.

We are the champions!

The scoreboard at Kingston Communication Stadium shows the final score of the two teams at this moment, 1-3.

Although Manchester United conceded two goals at home, scored five goals in the second half in a row, and finally reversed Tottenham Hotspur 5-2, it still could not prevent Liverpool from winning the Premier League title this season four rounds ahead of schedule!

……

In fact, it was not an easy game at all.

Hull are currently 17th in the Premier League, just three points off Middlesbrough in the relegation zone, and are fighting frantically for relegation.

No matter who this kind of team is, it will be a headache when it encounters it.

Due to the FA Cup, Yang Yang was rested again and sat on the bench, and throughout the first half, Liverpool was slow to create a real threatening attack, but was hit by Hull City with a sharp counterattack.

It wasn't until the fiftieth minute of the first half that defender George Boateng was yellow carded for a foul on Mascherano and gave Liverpool a free kick opportunity in front.

But after the rematch in the second half, Liverpool still failed to expand the score and was never able to create an effective offensive, but in the 63rd minute, Hull City pulled back a game and equalized the score again.

Finally, in the 65th minute, Yang Yang came on as a substitute.

In the 73rd minute, Benayoun crossed from the right side, Yang Yang was unguarded at the back point, and the header from the edge of the small penalty area was scored.

In the 89th minute, Arbeloa burst into the penalty area on the right side and kicked the goal, but was saved by Hull City goalkeeper Maihir, Yang Yang followed up to pick up the leak and hit the volley, three to one!

Judging from the score, 3 to 1 seems easy, but the process is very thrilling.

Liverpool themselves did not perform particularly well, because the team continued to fight on multiple fronts and the coaching staff rotated, resulting in the team not being at its best, while Hull City was united as a team and tried their best for relegation.

With one or the other, it is not difficult to understand that Liverpool are playing in disarray.

But in any case, in the end, they were able to defeat their opponents 3-1 and win the championship four rounds ahead of schedule, and Liverpool could breathe a sigh of relief for the time being.

Next, the team will be fully engaged in the FA Cup final and Champions League competition.

……

When Liverpool's players tossed Benitez high in front of the away dugout, the stadium was still filled with the singing of Liverpool fans.

According to the practice of the Premier League, although Liverpool won the championship four rounds in advance, the championship trophy still has to be left until the last round, that is, the 38th round of the Premier League, Liverpool's last home stadium to present the award, but this does not prevent Liverpool's players and fans from coming to celebrate.

This is Liverpool's second Premier League title in their history, and the successful defense of the Premier League title is almost like a dream for Liverpool fans, and they can't believe it anyway, especially when they see the team showing such amazing momentum this season.

League Cup, league and then FA Cup and Champions League!

Everyone was clearly not satisfied, especially the players on the pitch, who celebrated with restraint, not only because it was an away game, but more importantly, because they were still looking forward to the next two cup ties.

The FA Cup final against Chelsea will be a tough one.

Although the Blues were beaten 6-1 by Liverpool at Stamford Bridge, Guus Hiddink's side will certainly be tough.

There is also the Champions League semi-final opponent, Manchester United, and even future final opponents.

Liverpool's momentum this season has been unprecedented, as have the expectations and goals within and outside the squad.

Everyone knows that winning the league is just the beginning.

It's far from time to get carried away and celebrate, and even more daunting challenges await you. 8)
