1295 The fight between the second and third places

Liverpool's form surprised the fans, but scared Koeman.

After Qin Xiong scored the fourth goal, Coman immediately made a substitution!

He's really scared the team is getting a little too excited.

It is more important to know that the trip to the San Siro in a few days is even more important.

A Wigan Athletic, even if you win him by a hundred?

Isn't it just a few points from the league?

Even if Liverpool lose, it doesn't matter.

But in this inconsequential league, you go crazy, your body is overly excited, and then you fall back, and you can't mobilize after a few days, so what should you do?

Originally, I just wanted to further run in the front, but I didn't expect that Qin Xiong and Suarez were like neutrons bombarding the atomic nucleus, resulting in a nuclear explosion!

In the 27th round of the game, Liverpool finally beat Wigan Athletic 8:0.

This made the fans overjoyed, the team's form is so hot, then it is natural to take out AC Milan in the Champions League.

Speaking at his post-match press conference, Koeman said with a smile: "Hopefully there won't be a huge contrast in Liverpool's performance in a few days' time. ”

Liverpool have been preparing for a trip to the San Siro since their thrashing of Wigan Athletic at Anfield.

In the other games of the same round, the highlight was the Manchester derby.

The Red Devils beat Manchester City 2-1 at home!

Arsenal won 2-0 at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Chelsea were held to a 0-0 draw by Fulham in the west London derby, and had it not been for Cech to save a brilliant penalty, Chelsea could have been beaten by Fulham, although Chelsea might have won had Torres not squandered a one-on-one goal.

Blues fans panic at Chelsea's form!

Think back to the first half of the season, before meeting Liverpool. Chelsea have only lost one game, when they were level with Liverpool, and the one-point gap led to the idea that the Reds and Blues would be in the title race, but after losing to Liverpool at Anfield, Chelsea had a nightmare!

Before the New Year's three consecutive wins, in 11 games. Chelsea have won two league games!

Now the second half of the league has also played against Liverpool, Chelsea was beaten by Liverpool at Stamford Bridge, and then even Fulham couldn't win!

This has to worry the Blues fans, in case of another dismal record of a month or two, the Blues will definitely say goodbye to next season's Champions League!

Take a look at the standings.

Liverpool lead the pack with 69 points.

Arsenal followed with 55 points.

Manchester United are firmly in the top three with 54 points.

Manchester City's 50 points is a fourth-place finish that can be chased.

Chelsea's 46 points are a bit far from the top three, but they can still catch up with fourth-placed Manchester City by four points.

But if you want to catch up with the front, first of all, you have to be in good shape!

There are only 11 rounds left in the Premier League

Liverpool will visit Milan again in the Champions League this season, playing on the same pitch for the second time.

Meazza in the group stage, and Luo in the knockout round. It's actually the same stadium.

This time at Milan City, Suarez was unable to represent Liverpool in the Champions League due to having played for Ajax in the first half of the season.

Baines doesn't have any qualifying questions.

There is no big problem with Liverpool's strong men.

AC Milan, on the other hand, are struggling with personnel.

Allegri's scalp is about to burst.

Ambrosini, Andrea Pirlo, Boateng and others were injured, Van Bommel, Emmanuelsson and Cassano were unable to represent AC Milan in the Champions League.

It was going to be a tough opponent like the defending champion. AC Milan have their own problems.

Liverpool and AC Milan have met in the Champions League, and the historical record is naturally reminiscent of the 2005 Champions League final. Then there's the 2007 Champions League final, which is reminiscent of Istanbul's stunning comeback, and the unstoppable Kaka in 2007.

However, many years have passed, and the once peerless AC Milan is declining, and Liverpool is working hard to restore the dynasty in Europe!

In his pre-match press conference, Allegri expressed respect and vigilance for Liverpool. Considering Liverpool to be one of Europe's three superpowers, AC Milan can hardly be said to have an absolute advantage at home, but they will try to win as much as possible.

Koeman is looking forward to taking on AC Milan and defines the knockout stage encounter as: a clash of the traditional Champions League powerhouses!

When it comes to the number of titles, AC Milan has won the title seven times and Liverpool has won the title six times. He is the protagonist of the Champions League after Real Madrid, who has won the Champions League ten times!

Because of this, how can the meeting of second and third place not be exciting?

He is looking forward to the best matches in the world from both teams!

In fact, Koeman said this in the hope that AC Milan would stop playing the Italian chain defense.

Attack it, attack it boldly, and then Liverpool will crush the Rossoneri again!

On the evening of February 16, the atmosphere at the San Siro Stadium was bursting, and the cheers in the stadium stands were full of people.

Players from Liverpool and AC Milan walked out of the tunnel.

Before that, Qin Xiong greeted some of his former teammates at AC Milan.

Ibrahimovic, Flamini, Robinho, it seems that wherever he goes now, Qin Xiong has "former teammates" haunted.

If you say anything you know, players like Nesta and Seedorf have been dealing with them for a long time.

It's a pity that I didn't see the elegant Pirlo today.

At the end of the reminiscence, Qin Xiong walked into the stadium with the team.

The Champions League theme song echoed at the San Siro.

"Welcome to the great San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy, where the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals will be played today, and after a two-month break, the teams that have qualified for the last 16 of the Champions League have begun to fight each other.

Defending champions Liverpool's signing was described as poor as they topped their group but were drawn to second place in the group, AC Milan.

The two teams have a deep grudge, having met twice in the last six years, winning each in the Champions League final, and today they did not expect to meet early in the quarter-finals.

Liverpool have no other main players who will not be able to play today, except for striker Suarez who is unavailable due to qualification issues, and AC Milan is different, with a number of key players missing due to injury or unavailable due to qualification issues.

Overall, defending champions Liverpool are the favourites.

Let's take a look at the starting line-ups for both sides.

AC Milan started 4312.

Goalkeeper: Abbiati.

Defenders: Abate, Nesta, Yeppers, Antonini.

Midfielders: Gattuso, Thiago Silva, Flamini, Seedorf.

Forwards: Robinho, Ibrahimovic.

Allegri used veteran Nesta and Yepes in central defence today, with Thiago Silva playing in the back, and it is unclear whether such a defensive set-up will be able to withstand the Reds' Liverpool's powerful attack.

Liverpool started today with 433.

Goalkeeper: Reina.

Defenders: Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Baines.

Midfielders: Mascherano, Alonso, Gerrard.

Forwards: Qin Xiong, Raul, Kuyt. (To be continued.) )
