177. Preparing for the Champions League

Yes!

First, in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, Liverpool played Arsenal away; Liverpool will then play Arsenal again in the third round of the league, which is also away: Zuihou, and Liverpool will face Arsenal in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, this game is at home.

First two away, then home!

It's a tough battle! A war in the worst of the world!

With the big game just around the corner, Liverpool is very cautious, and the next series of games will be Liverpool's biggest test. If Liverpool can survive this test, then Liverpool will have a good end this season.

Of course, if Liverpool don't get through this segment, then there's a good chance that Liverpool will start to completely collapse from here, and Liverpool will have nothing to gain this season.

This can be regarded as an existential critical moment, at this time, can Liverpool not be cautious?

There has been a lot of discussion about what choice Liverpool made, whether they would choose the Champions League or the league. This became the hottest topic in England at this time.

Liverpool have one more league game to play before the first leg of this season's Champions League quarter-finals begins, and their opponents are Everton.

Everton are very good, they are currently fifth in the league, just behind Chelsea, and although they are still a little away from qualifying for the Champions League, that does not rule them out the possibility of qualifying for the Champions League.

Everton have the quality and it won't be easy for Liverpool to beat them.

Now here's the problem!

Now everyone wants to know what kind of choice Liverpool has made internally, and this game is likely to give everyone the answer.

Although the current Everton team is still a little far from the Champions League qualification zone, their strength is not bad. If Liverpool don't rule out all their main players, it will be difficult for them to beat Everton.

Now media reporters and fans know that if Liverpool is an all-main lineup in the game against Everton, it means that Liverpool is going to give up the Champions League game. Because three days after this game, Liverpool will take on Arsenal away in the Champions League.

If Liverpool field an all-out squad against Everton, it would be tantamount to telling his family that Liverpool have given up on the game against Arsenal three days later.

Of course, if Liverpool sends a semi-main lineup in this game with Everton, then it means that Liverpool is going to give up the league and choose the Champions League. Liverpool, who are semi-mainstay, will hardly be able to beat Everton. At this critical juncture in the league, every league game is a very important situation, Liverpool is still half the main team against Everton, is this not giving up the league?

So, now everyone is waiting for this game to come, and they all want to see what choice Liverpool will make.

At this time, of course, no one would have thought that the Liverpool team would choose both sides, because the current Liverpool does not have that strength, and they believe that Liverpool does not have that guts.

What time is it? At a critical moment, if you are not careful, you will lose all the plates, and you will not receive anything. If Liverpool really has no money, then Benitez will say goodbye to Liverpool directly and be thrown out. At this time, Benitez did not dare to gamble with his future.

Benitez's immediate priority is to win a title first and keep his position first, and as for the rest, we will wait for his position to be secured, and then talk about it next season. Next season, it's not like they're out of chance.

Yes, no one now believes that an inconsequential Carabao Cup winner can keep Benitez in charge. Therefore, for the sake of his future and position, Benitez will definitely choose conservatively, and choose to win a championship first.

At this time, of course, Liverpool will not take care of both sides and end up with nothing.

Soon, the 32nd round of the Premier League this season is officially here, and Liverpool will face Everton at their home stadium.

For this game, media reporters and fans are very concerned, and even many competitors are also very concerned, and they also want to see what choice Liverpool will make at this time.

At this time, the current top four teams in the Premier League this season have all qualified for the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and now everyone has the Champions League burden, so in this round of the league, they will all be affected by the Champions League to a greater or lesser extent, and this round of games is very important for everyone.

Soon, the Liverpool and Everton match arrived, and the Anfield stadium was full of jubilation.

Now there are countless eyes on the Anfield stadium, staring at this game. They all want to see what choice Liverpool will make.

Everton, on the other hand, want Liverpool to make the choice of choosing the Champions League, so that they can seize the opportunity to qualify for next season's Champions League.

Soon the game began, players from both sides appeared on the pitch, and when Liverpool's starters appeared in front of everyone's eyes, everyone in the audience was shocked.

Because of this game, Liverpool sent a semi-main lineup, Qiu Ze and Gerrard, and even Fernando 61 Torres did not start. Seeing this, everyone understands Liverpool's choice, they chose the Champions League and gave up the league.

Seeing this, Everton was immediately excited, this is their opportunity, they must seize it, otherwise they will be too sorry for the Liverpool team.

This is a godsend for Everton, and if they can't take advantage of such opportunities, then what Champions League qualification is Everton pursuing? Even if you get the Champions League qualification, you can only lose the English football people when you go out.

Seeing Liverpool's choice, a large group of people sighed: "Sure enough! ”

In their opinion, Liverpool will definitely choose the Champions League, because Liverpool and Benitez are already cup experts, and they are more familiar with the Champions League last season.

If Benitez wants to keep his position, only the Champions League side has more confidence, so Liverpool makes such a choice, and they are no exception.

Now, Everton is not so idle to think about this, how you Liverpool have nothing to do with our Everton, and now Everton has only one thought, that is, to win this game and attack next season's Champions League qualification.

From the start of the game, the Everton players were very excited, they knew it was a very rare opportunity and they had to take it this time or it would be too sorry for the crowd. I'm so sorry for the friendliness of the Liverpudlians.

As soon as the game began, Everton attacked aggressively, hoping to score as soon as possible and clear the suspense as soon as possible.

In fact, not only Liverpool chose to keep it in this round of the league, but the Premier League teams that entered the top four of the Champions League chose to keep it in the league, and they all still reserved for the Champions League. Because they all know that in this round of competition, the other three contenders will not give up the Champions League easily, and everyone has the same chances.

However, there is a clear difference between the four teams in terms of bench depth, with Manchester United and Arsenal clearly being the better side of the bench, so they have a much better chance of winning the league. However, even if this is the case, Liverpool and Chelsea will choose to stay in the league.

Now Liverpool's reaction reflects that very well, with Liverpool fielding a semi-main line-up. However, even so, Liverpool are still aiming to win this game, they haven't really given up on the league, they are going hand in hand.

Qiu Ze, Steven Gerrard and Fernando 61 Torres were all on the bench, with Mascherano, Babel and Crouch starting in place.

Everton saw this as their chance, so they launched a ferocious attack as soon as they came up. Indeed, Everton's strength is very strong, and the fifth place in the Premier League is not for nothing, and their attacking threat is still very large.

Liverpool is now like a boat in the wind and rain that could be destroyed at any time, which made the Liverpool fans at the scene nervous. And those media reporters think this is expected, from the time Liverpool chose to abandon the league and only send a semi-main squad to play against Everton, the result of this game was already doomed, and Liverpool must lose.

However, Liverpool's players are not giving up and they are hungry for victory, although on the surface they are now very passive. However, the Liverpudlians were always looking for opportunities to score, and in the first half, Liverpool didn't have many chances, but there were still one or two chances that made Everton very ugly.

Neither side found the back of the net in the first half, and the score was 0-0. The second half started quickly, and at the beginning of the second half, the situation on the pitch changed dramatically, and Liverpool launched a very sharp attack after the start of the second half.

Liverpool pushed forward at high speed down the flank, and Everton didn't seem to be fully prepared for it, allowing the Dutchman to break through with ease.

After breaking through, Babel cut inside immediately and after attracting the attention of Everton's centre-backs, he suddenly played the ball into the Everton penalty area.

In the Everton penalty area, Liverpool's high school striker Peter 61 Crouch directly hung a golden hook upside down in the Everton penalty area and hooked the football into Everton's goal, 1-0, Liverpool took the lead.

This goal made the Everton side stunned, they never thought that they would fall behind, they were completely stupid. After that, Everton attacked like crazy, hoping to recover the slump as soon as possible, but to no avail.

In the end, Liverpool won a narrow victory over Everton thanks to Peter's 61 Crouch goal.

In this game, Qiu Ze, Gerrard and Fernando 61 Torres did not play in Zuihou, they rested for a whole week, and they put all their energy into the next Champions League match.
