After that, Chen Xi and Morientes didn't discuss those deep topics anymore, but talked about Fengyue. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe two of them were almost ready to hunt directly in the nightclub.,Fortunately, they didn't find any good goods that night.,Otherwise,The two might have made a mistake in principle.ć
Especially Morientes, this guy has already got married!
There was nothing to do overnight, and the next day, Chen Xi boarded the class that returned to China with the team.
Liverpool have two league games to play before the next leg of the semi-finals, with only four league games left in total, with Liverpool seven points ahead of second-placed Arsenal. If they play properly, Liverpool will have a good chance of winning the title in these two rounds!
That's the thinking of the whole Liverpool team, who are trying to win the title two or three rounds early, so that they can fully focus on the Champions League and FA Cup finals.
As for the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Liverpool don't think they will be as careless as AC Milan!
Even if Monaco can become a "Super Laco", Liverpool will not allow themselves to become AC Milan!
After returning to Liverpool and resting for two days, Liverpool welcomed Fulham to Anfield.
Fulham are mid-table, but they are just four points off fifth and will be hoping to qualify for Europe next season. Such an opponent is obviously not to be underestimated!
Therefore, in this game, Benitez only rotated part of the main forces, like Chen Xi, Gerrard, and Owen, the three absolute cores continued to appear in the starting lineup of this game!
Fulham are also really looking to pick up points against Liverpool.
In their opinion, Liverpool have just played the semi-finals of the Champions League and will have to deal with an 'English derby' against Manchester United three days later, so there will certainly be some reservations in this game.
After all, even if Liverpool loses two more games, as long as they win the last two games, they will not lose the title.
When the game started, they realized that they were wrong. And it couldn't be more wrong!
Liverpool don't look like they don't care about this game!
Even if several main players have been rotated, the Liverpool team is still full of momentum at their home stadium!
Just six minutes into the game, Liverpool took the lead!
It was a simple but effective counterattack between the three musketeers of the Red Army!
Gerrard broke the ball in the middle of the field and sent it directly to Chen Xi on the left side!
After catching up with the ball and using his speed to shake off the opponent's right back, Chen Xi swept the ball directly to the middle!
Owen in the middle flanked at high speed, and a tackle sent the ball into the gate guarded by Van der Sar!
After taking the lead, Liverpool played more easily!
Their onslaught left the Fulham team with no ability to parry, not counter-attack!
Before the end of the first half, Liverpool extended the score to 2-0 thanks to a goal from Czech striker Barosz, who replaced Heskey.
It took almost half the time for Liverpool to take the suspense out of the game!
In the second half, Chen Xi seized another opportunity for a free kick and blasted open the door guarded by Van der Sar with a fallen leaf ball with his surname, expanding the score to 3-0!
This score also allowed Benitez to replace Chen Xi and other three main players in one go, and they have already set their sights on the game against Manchester United in three days, as long as they can beat their old rivals, they can win the championship at Old Trafford in advance!
In the last 20 minutes of the second half, Fulham scored a face-saving goal, and the score was finally locked at 3-1, and Liverpool were one step closer to the championship!
It's a pity that on the other pitch, the Arsenal team also stubbornly won the victory, allowing the championship to continue to be delayed.
Clearly, Arsene Wenger and his side are also hoping for a dog-eat-dog relationship between the two old rivals, Liverpool and Manchester United. Even if you can't help them turn the tables, at least you have to see a good show!
What a bad taste! āā
After winning the match against Fulham, Liverpool are only three points away from winning the title!
But at this time, Liverpool will meet their old rivals Manchester United in the next round of matches.
Manchester United are clearly not going to allow Liverpool to celebrate on their own turf, so they will do everything in their power to stop Liverpool. Even if it's just for Liverpool to postpone one round of the title!
Faced with this situation, many media outlets are supporting Benitez, signaling him to retain his strength at Old Trafford. After all, after four days of this round of league games, they will also play the second leg of the Champions League semi-final.
Because even if Liverpool fail to win at Old Trafford, they will only need to get one win in the final two rounds. No one thinks Birmingham and Middlesbrough will be able to hold Liverpool back!
This view has been supported by many people, and even some Liverpool media have said that as long as they don't lose their unbeaten gold at Old Trafford, it doesn't matter if they have reservations in this game!
However, in an interview before the game, Benitez changed his surname to a low-key personality and said that he wanted to win the championship at Old Trafford!
The Spaniard said: "Thirty-one years ago, Liverpool lifted the title at Manchester United's home turf. Thirty-one years later, we have been given another opportunity, and why should we miss it? The team's performances this season have given fans hope for a revival. We're going to celebrate Liverpool's first Premier League title with such an exciting way to win the title! ā
When asked by reporters about that game, Benitez bluntly said he didn't know because he was just a 13-year-old at the time, saying: "I don't remember Liverpool winning the title 31 years ago. Maybe I had just joined the Real Madrid junior team at that time, and I was just a kid dreaming of being a professional footballer! But if I win this time, this image will be etched in my mind forever! ā
Benitez's remarks are naturally inevitably hit back by Manchester United!
Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson said they would do their best to stop Liverpool at home from winning the title, saying: "Some people say that because Liverpool is my old rival, we will give our best in this game. I would say this is the wrong view, knowing that Arsenal are also our mortal enemies. In this race, we will do our best because of the spirit of fair play. At the same time, we don't like to see others celebrating at our venues. On top of that, we will also be using this game to train for the FA Cup final. You know, that game will also be between us! ā
If Ferguson's statement can only be considered "official", Manchester United captain Roy Keane's words are much more direct: "Win at Old Trafford? We're not going to let this damn thing happen! There is only one team that can lift the cup here, and that is Manchester United! ā
Manchester United's number one rookie this season, Cristiano Ronaldo, also showed his surname in an interview: "Although we have no hope of winning the league title this season. But we're not going to let Liverpudlian win the title easily! They are yet to lose a game this season and at Old Trafford will be the place they try their first defeat of the season! ā
Manchester United has expressed its intention to stop Liverpool one by one, and the players on Liverpool's side naturally can't sit idly by!
Chen Xi, who played for Tottenham last season, directly sprinkled a handful of salt on Manchester United's wounds: "Last season, I played at Tottenham. United had a chance to win the title early at White Hart Lane, but my team-mates and I managed to hold them back. I can understand their feelings, but my teammates and I won't let that happen to us! Thirty-one years ago, Sir Bobby Charlton, the captain of Manchester United, also said that he would never let Liverpool win the title at Old Trafford, but our predecessors did it anyway! This time, we will continue the glorious tradition of our predecessors and let the fans once again enjoy the joy of winning the trophy at Old Trafford! ā
Chen Xi's words were also agreed by Gerrard: "In the Premier League, we have been silent for a long time. This season, we're back on the rise, so let's win a little bit harder! I'm sure there's nothing better than enjoying the joy of winning the championship at Old Trafford! ā
As captain, Hyypia also showed his determination to win the title early: "The battle at Old Trafford is definitely going to be very tough, but there is no reason for us to back down and give up! We have only one goal, and that is to get three points at Old Trafford and get the three points that will get us to the title early!! ā
Liverpool's old king Dalglish also stood up at this time to express his support for the team: "Thirty-one years ago, I didn't join Liverpool, but I clearly remember the picture of Liverpool winning the championship! I really hope that this time, Liverpool can replicate the miracle of 31 years ago, and I will give the team a round of applause and celebrate the championship with the players and fans! ā
After the king made his statement, the fans naturally responded enthusiastically. They said they would rush to Old Trafford on the same day to cheer on the team, with or without tickets. And get ready to celebrate with the team!
According to media estimates, the Liverpool fans who arrive in Manchester by then may even surpass the capacity of Old Trafford. At the same time, there are already plenty of Liverpool fans rushing to buy tickets for that day's game.
And a lot of Manchester United fans don't want to watch Liverpool celebrate there, so there will be a situation where there will be more Liverpool fans than Manchester United fans at Old Trafford!
