Liverpool left the Emirates Stadium with three points held high, and Koeman did not assert after the game that Liverpool would win the Premier League, believing that the real test was coming.

Whether the pressure of the Champions League knockout rounds will be too much for Liverpool to bear, no one can say for sure.

But Liverpool's dominance in the league is enough for the Reds to take a big psychological load off when they are distracted from the Champions League.

On the same day, in La Liga, Real Madrid beat Sares 3-0 away to continue to chase defending champions Barcelona in second place in the league.

Two days later, inside the dining hall at Melwood Training Base.

Qin Xiong sat by the window and drank a drink, he was resting with his teammates, and the live news was playing on the ceiling TV in the restaurant.

"The Spanish football supergiant Real Madrid came to Liverpool City under the leadership of coach Manuel Pellegrini, and the Real Madrid big names who came to Liverpool to play in the first leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals gathered, with Kaka, Ronaldo and other Real Madrid superstars will appear at Anfield tomorrow night"

Qin Xiong tilted his head slightly and stared at the TV screen.

The cool Cristiano Ronaldo, the somewhat vicissitudes of Kaka, and the rising star Benzema

Stretching, Qin Xiong stood up, and when Gerald saw that he was leaving, he shouted to him: "Speak with momentum!" Don't let outsiders look down on us! ”

Torres, Kuyt and other teammates burst into laughter.

Qin Xiong glanced back at everyone and smiled.

He walked to the press conference at Melwood Training Ground to attend the pre-match press conference with manager Koeman.

Koeman has an attitude of excitement about the game.

"Liverpool have met Real Madrid in the knockout rounds of the Champions League for the third year in a row. I don't think it will make the fans feel aesthetic fatigue. Opposite. Every meeting between the two teams is something to look forward to and for me I'm very happy to play Real Madrid, it's going to be a great game! ”

When it comes to the opponent's superstars.

Coman said: "Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Benzema, Raul, Real Madrid have too many stars who can decide the game on their own. But I believe Liverpool will use the strength of the team as a whole to curb the superstar effect of Real Madrid. ”

The reporter was puzzled by this and asked rhetorically: "Liverpool also has superstars such as Qin Xiong, Torres, and Gerrard, doesn't Liverpool have a superstar effect?" ”

'Liverpool are a team and on that basis we can win close to 100 per cent of our games and it's very difficult to get there with just superstars, and unfortunately it's often not happy to see Cristiano Ronaldo doing so well at Real Madrid. And as long as Liverpool has a team victory, every player is happy. You'll see the difference. ”

Koeman doesn't mind deliberately calling out Ronaldo's name at this time, after all, Liverpool fans don't have a good impression of Ronaldo, and in the position of Red Army coach, he always has to be sharper.

Liverpool is not the same as it was in the past, and now Liverpool is aiming to dominate Europe!

What's the point of using a media platform to generate some topics?!

When it was Qin Xiong's turn to accept the question, Qin Xiong's expression always had a gentle smile.

'When the draw came out two months ago, you said that it was a good result to draw Real Madrid because you are familiar with the Bernabeu venue.

However, there is no denying that the first leg is played at Anfield, and if Real Madrid win away from home, the second leg to the Bernabeu may be meaningless, and your advantage will be lost. ”

Qin Xiong lowered his head and smiled, raised his chin and replied: "Ahem, I just made a joke two months ago, but I still think it's good to draw Real Madrid, because I always look forward to playing against strong teams, there are many strong teams in England, and outside of England, like Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Real Madrid, this is the opponent I want to meet the most, so I will say that it is a good signing."

Real Madrid want a big win at Anfield?

I don't deny that Real Madrid are very strong, but they will have to pay more to get out of the way at Anfield, and according to you, if Real Madrid suffer a heavy defeat at Anfield, wouldn't it make their return to the Bernabeu meaningless? ”

"To this day, there are still voices that Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka's move to Real Madrid is the reason why you are forced away from the Bernabeu, what do you think?"

Qin Xiong smiled but said unceremoniously: "What nonsense! A simple fact is that when I was at Real Madrid, I could pick any position in the front field, I wanted to play the starter, no one could squeeze me on the bench, not in the past, even if it was Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, who came from the transfer, they didn't have that strength, so how could it be that they forced me away? I go, just because I want to go. ”

The reporters in the audience looked at each other, and they felt that Qin Xiong suddenly had a wild temperament.

He has given enough humility that now he wants to tell the world openly: I am better than others!

After Liverpool's pre-Champions League press conference was broadcast on this day, it is estimated that Ronaldo will be angry.

At 8.45pm the next day, the atmosphere at Anfield was unprecedented!

The stands were a spectacular shade of red, and the flags of the Red Army fluttered everywhere against the backdrop of countless scarves!

When the players of Real Madrid and Liverpool stood in the players' tunnel and prepared to play, Qin Xiongyin went to the toilet, and the last one came, he walked up from the back of the team and hugged Ramos first.

"Long time no see."

Ramos hugged Qin Xiong and whispered in his ear: "What you said in front of the media yesterday made us very angry. ”

Qin Xiong replied in Ramos's ear: "Since the day I left the Bernabeu, what words have I said about Real Madrid that did not make Real Madrid angry?" ”

Ramos thought about it carefully and said helplessly: "Yes, but you really don't miss the old love?" ”

"Sergio, one of the things I've learned at the Santiago Bernabeu is: don't talk about feelings at Real Madrid. Alger, Wesley, and me, who misses them and who misses me? ”

Ramos reluctantly pushed Qin Xiong away, and after the two patted each other's arms, Qin Xiong continued to walk forward.

For the rest of the Real Madrid starters, in addition to nodding and saying hello to Pepe, he only hugged Casillas who was standing at the front.

It's fair to say that Real Madrid's squad is close to a new look, but how powerful?

I only know after the battle! (To be continued.) )
