Chapter 127: The Motivation to Keep Heroes Moving Forward (The Third Month!) )
After the game, Liverpool media began with "Liverpool kills suspense...", Liverpool advanced to the semi-finals...
and other headlines to cover this quarter-final (). No one raised any objections, and there was no concern that this would anger Twente, so what if Twente had a big comeback in the second leg?
Everyone was overwhelmed by Liverpool's performance.
Liverpool's performance this season has been impressive, not only finishing third in the league, but also hoping to compete for the league title, and also soaring in the Europa League, with a good chance of reaching the final.
Now everyone thinks that Liverpool and Inter Milan will meet in the final, which is really very likely to happen......
In the Premier League, Liverpool are currently four points behind Manchester United at the top of the table, which is not to say that there is no chance at all. It's just that the initiative is now in the hands of Manchester United.
It would be nice to say if it was Manchester City who were in the lead, because Manchester City and Liverpool had a chance to speak head-to-head.
But in any case, Liverpool's performance this season has been much better than last season.
Now those stubborn "Dalglish elements" have to admit that Niang's decisive replacement of Dalglish and letting Martin O'Neill take over the team was indeed the right decision. If Dalglish is allowed to continue to coach, I'm afraid that Liverpool is still struggling for a Champions League place, Europa League? If you break into the knockout round, you will probably have to be eliminated.
Martin O'Neill's personality is not as tough and prominent as Dalglish, so he certainly isn't a leader in the dressing room, but again, he doesn't have a personality that makes him obstinate. What's more, he only needs to have a good relationship with Gerard and Chen Yingying to get the right to speak in the locker room, which is not difficult.
Dalglish is so tough and legendary that everyone has a blind obedience to him.
That doesn't happen to Martin O'Neill yet.
O'Neill has no roots, so he is very low-key at the club, and the advantage of being low-key is that he can focus on the team without outside interference.
Because no one will use him as a target, and they will always want to deal with him. Dalglish is because of the tree
… He was targeted by Niang.
In short, Liverpool, under the leadership of such a low-key manager, is steadily advancing on the road to revival. This is much better than the vain head of a famous handsome.
In the past, there were still people who wanted Mourinho to lead Liverpool, but the actual situation is that Mourinho's personality and too controlling coach are here, and it is estimated that he will have to fight with Niang first.

The 33rd round of the Premier League is nearing the end, with five rounds to go.
In these five league games, Liverpool will also play Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham. Fortunately, Liverpool beat FC Twente 5-1 at home, and Martin O'Neill can give some of his main players time to rest.
After playing at home to FC Twente, Liverpool will face Arsenal at the weekend.
Liverpool are away from home in this game, Martin O'Neill intends to play with all his strength, and if he loses to Arsenal, he will be further behind by Manchester United.
Liverpool's away match against Arsenal has no other gimmick to hype up other than a meeting between the top two ().
Last season, the media could talk about the "top scorer race", but this season no one is interested in discussing this topic. Because in the league scorer list, Chen Yingying has scored 35 goals, just two goals short of the record of 37 goals he set last season. The Golden Boot for this season has long been booked.
And the second-ranked Van Persie is also working hard, but his form is still far from last season, so far he has only scored 20 goals, 15 goals short, in the remaining five rounds of the league, unless he averages three per game, and prays that Chen Yingxing does not score a goal, he has no hope of catching up with Chen Yingying.
It was so difficult that even Van Persie knew he was out of the game. When he was in the best state of his career, he met a Chen Yingying, which was really ............... and sad!
For this reason, both sides were calm before this match, and neither of them provoked a war of words against each other.
The match between Liverpool and Arsenal is not a never-ending topic like they have with Manchester United, it is just an ordinary clash between strong teams.
Neither Van Persie nor Chen Yingying expressed any opinion or opinion on this match.
They just focused on the game.
As a result, both men performed well in the game, with Robin van Persie opening the scoring for Arsenal in the game.
Chen Yingying helped his team equalize in the second half.
Both men scored, but the result was not satisfactory to them.
Especially Chen Yingying, because Liverpool were held to a 1-1 draw by Arsenal away from home.
Although Manchester City were beaten 2-0 at home by Chelsea, Manchester United beat Southampton 2-0 away to see Liverpool move from four points to six points away from Manchester United, moving them further away from the league title......
Knowing the result, the Liverpool players looked disappointed after being held to a draw by Arsenal.
Chen Yingying fought until the end of the game, but unfortunately he tried so hard and failed to bring a victory to the team.
Although he raised his goal to 36, everything became meaningless in the face of this result.
He watched Liverpool get farther and farther away from the title, but there was nothing he could do. It made him feel helpless.
It's a bad feeling.
He clenched his fist, then released and clenched and clenched, and released again.
Head coach Martin O'Neill came up to comfort his players as he walked up to Chen Yingying's side and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Don't worry too much, hero. Sometimes you have to accept the result and that's football. Life is the same as football, it's not just about wins and championships."
Chen Yingying turned his head to look at his boss: "I know, boss." But I just want to be a winner, and that's what keeps me going. If I had acquiesced to this rule, I might not have gone far. ”
Martin O'Neal patted him on the shoulder and didn't talk about him, he knew that as a player who has won many honors at a young age, it is normal to have such thoughts, after all, he is young and vigorous, and no one wants to be a loser. Wasn't that the same when he was young?
So there's nothing to blame and nothing to educate about this. The hero is not bad, he has already won so many honors at such a young age, if he didn't have this kind of momentum to admit defeat, maybe he would have really lost the motivation to move forward. When he was young, he lay down on the merit book and slept a lot, eating his old book until the day when he sat and ate the mountain empty.
So Martin O'Neill didn't say anything, just smiled ().
He thought that maybe when Chen Yingying entered the end of his career, as his physical ability and technical ability gradually declined, and as he encountered more helpless things like this, he would also begin to slowly get used to and accept this feeling.

Regardless, Liverpool were held to a draw away from home by Arsenal and they are further away from the league title. The happiest people on the night were the Manchester United fans, who had even started celebrating the title in advance.
Whether it's Manchester City or Liverpool, they don't feel like they're their opponents. In particular, in the penultimate round of the United Nose, Liverpool host Manchester City, which is a direct dialogue between the second and third in the league. Whatever the outcome, United can reap the benefits.
And after being held to a draw by Arsenal, Martin O'Neill also reflected on his gains and losses during this period.
The Europa League has a bright future, and it has been in first place in the league, and it looks like it can win both titles this season. As a result, he got carried away. He wants to win both titles.
You must know that the goal he set at the beginning of the season was to reach the knockout stage of the Europa League and qualify for the Champions League next season, it's as simple as that.
However, the actual performance this season has greatly exceeded his expectations.
So much so that he had delusions that he shouldn't have, and because of this, he messed up his plans and the preparation of the whole team.
It was during this time that he was in a hurry that led to a difficult situation in the league. In the last six games, apart from winning one Merseyside derby against Everton and a match against Southampton, the other four games have drawn two and lost two. It was the team's worst performance of the season so far.
The team has officially fallen from the first place in the league to the third place now.
If he continues to insist on winning the championship on both fronts, he is afraid that he will soon collapse, and in the end, he will not be able to win the two championships, and if he loses the Champions League qualification for next season, it will be the bottom kù ().
In order to avoid such a situation, he must readjust his strategic focus in the future, so as not to compete with Manchester United for the first place in the league and keep the current third place in the league.
At the same time, they will try their best to reach the final of the Europa League, defeat their opponents and lift the trophy.
This is a perfect end to the season.
To put it bluntly, Liverpool's squad is not strong enough and is not ready to win the title on both fronts. So it's not going to work to dream about a double now.
is still down-to-earth, and being able to win the Europa League is also an ability.
Next, recruit this summer, buy strong reinforcements, and start attacking the league title again.
As for the Champions League winner, Martin O'Neill thinks that in a short period of time, Liverpool should not think about it, and Liverpool does not need to be in a hurry in the Champions League.
The league title is the title that Liverpool fans crave the most. After all, since the establishment of the Premier League, Liverpool has not won a league title, as a traditional giant in England, Liverpool, a team that prides itself on being a successful team in England, is absolutely unable to accept this reality. Especially the one who has won the most Premier League titles is the sworn rival Manchester United, and this tone is even more to be fought for. In any case, the league championship is a must!
