Chapter 425: Defend the Title!
"Well done! Lads. In the home dressing room at Anfield, Jurgen Klopp was smiling and praising his players.
'At the start of the second half, keep putting pressure on the opposition goal, we need to score another goal that will completely destroy Watford's fighting spirit!' Klopp said.
Although 2-0 is relatively safe, Klopp reminded the players that this is not enough, it is better to score another goal, and with a three-goal lead, there will be basically no surprises.
It's not that Klopp doesn't have confidence, it's out of prudence.
Liverpool are desperate to win this game, not only because it will ensure that Liverpool will win the title early, but also because of the impact it will have on subsequent adjustments, and in late May, Liverpool still have two finals to play, namely the FA Cup final at the new Wembley Stadium on May 21, against Crystal Palace; Then there is the UEFA Champions League final at the San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy, on May 28, against Real Madrid.
Therefore, if he wins today and wins the championship in advance, in the next three league games (including one make-up match), Klopp can take rotation without any scruples, so that the main players can get more rest time, and at the same time, the state of the whole team will be adjusted to the best when the final comes.
……
The second half was played less than three minutes into the game.
Milner's pass was met by Watford player Mario Brown. Suarez made a block and went out of the line and Liverpool were awarded a corner.
Lallana drove the corner kick, Jiang Chenxi squeezed away Britos, who was defending him, in the penalty area, jumped high and shook his head to attack the goal.
It was a powerful header that Watford goalkeeper Gomes almost subconsciously extended his hand to no avail, and watched as the ball flew into the net behind him.
“Gooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaal!”
"Jiang Chenxi's header scores! Three to zero! Liverpool doubled the score again just at the start of the second half! ”
"This is Jiang Chenxi's 45th league goal this season! This header is very MAN, Britos can't hold him down at all! ”
The commentator is right, Watford's central defender Britos looked extremely frustrated, he was already trying his best to suppress and hold Jiang Chenxi just now, but he just couldn't hold it down!
Jiang Chenxi ran to the KOP stands at Anfield Stadium, and he kept raising his arms to encourage the enthusiasm of the Liverpool fans, which caused a volcanic eruption of enthusiasm throughout the stadium.
Jurgen. Klopp stood up and applauded his team's performance.
He was happy, a little excited, but he wasn't too excited, because it was normal for Liverpool to score again in the second half and extend the score, this goal was expected, the only surprise was that he didn't expect to score not long after the second half started.
……
Watford people may have thought that Liverpool, who were two goals ahead, would have slackened in the second half, or played relatively relaxed, but they must have expected Liverpool to be so resolute in attacking after the start of the second half.
This can be seen in their bewildered reactions.
'Liverpool deserve praise for their performance, they weren't satisfied with the score in the first half, they still have a fighting spirit and hunger!' John. Mortenson complimented.
After a three-0 lead.
Jurgen Klopp didn't let up on that, instead he got up from the dugout and went to the sidelines, constantly signaling his players to continue to attack and not give Watford a chance to bounce back, and it would be great if the team could win a big win at home to establish a successful league title.
Liverpool's on-pitch players faithfully executed Klopp's tactical intentions.
Or it could be said that Liverpool's players are high.
In the sixty-first minute of the game, Emrejan sent a through ball, Jiang Chenxi carried Britos, turned around and shot, the football was blocked by Watford goalkeeper Gomez stretched his leg, and Arnold, who assisted up, grabbed the ball before the ball went out of the bottom line, swept the football to the goal again, and Milner almost crashed into the net with the football.
“Goooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaal!”
"James. Milner! Four to zero! Liverpool scored a big win. ”
"There's nothing better than celebrating a team's early title with a big win."
The commentator has officially announced that Liverpool has won the league in advance, and with a big lead of four to zero, it is impossible for Watford to turn the tables, and it can even be said that even Watford, even other top giants in Europe cannot score four goals in half an hour at Anfield Stadium.
Three minutes later, Jurgen Klopp made a substitution.
He replaced Jiang Chenxi with Salah.
In the stands at Anfield Stadium, the Liverpool fans stood up and applauded for a long time, which was a thank you and praise for Jiang Chenxi's hard work and wonderful performance in this game and thus throughout the season, and of course, they also welcomed Salah's substitute performance and thanked the Egyptian star for his outstanding performance this season.
……
Watford manager Gomez can be said to have breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Jiang Chenxi being replaced, he was really worried that Jiang Chenxi would be 'crazy' and brush up on Watford's body.
However, what Gomez didn't expect was that although Jiang Chenxi was replaced and rested, Liverpool's goal did not stop there.
In the 71st minute of the game, Salah assisted Spanish fullback Alberto. Moreno scored a goal to make the score five to zero!
A minute later, Roberto Firmino was substituted and Sadio Mane came on as a substitute.
Two minutes later, Colo Toure was substituted. Gomez came off the bench.
Then, with 81 minutes played, Watford striker Odion Ighalo scored a long-range goal to save a bit of face for Watford, and the score was changed to Liverpool 5-1 Watford.
However, in the 89th minute of the game, Lallana assisted Salah to successfully counter offside and scored a goal, and Salah's goal also locked the score at 6-1!
At this time, there were no Liverpool fans in the stands at Anfield Stadium sitting and watching, everyone stood up, and they sang 'You will never walk alone', what a spectacular scene, if you were not there in person, you really couldn't feel it, it was an atmosphere that is difficult to describe in words.
On the bench, Jiang Chenxi led everyone to stand on the sidelines, and they couldn't wait to cheer and celebrate.
Everyone was waiting, waiting for the whistle to blow at the end of the game.
Waiting for the arrival of the champion!
Waiting to lift the trophy for the 20th English top flight title and second Premier League title in the club's history!
There were three minutes of stoppage time, but just after the second minute of stoppage time, referee McDean blew the full-time whistle, and almost as soon as the whistle blew out, it was drowned out in a huge wave of cheers at Anfield.
"It's over! The game is over! Liverpool beat Watford 6-1 at home in the 37th round of the league, after winning this game, they have one round left in the league, and they are at least four points ahead of Leicester City with one game less, so Liverpool has confirmed to win the championship in advance, congratulations to them, congratulations to Jiang Chenxi, congratulations to Liverpool!
