The opening song "You'll Never Go Alone" has become the label of Anfield.

Anyone who comes to Anfield Stadium is easily infected and nurtured by the tragic atmosphere that has been brewed in this stadium over a long period of time, and will also be shocked by the group of singing fans in the stands, and it is even easy to have the illusion that it is not a group of fans, but a group of soldiers of the Predator Army.

Liverpool has indeed been a bit sad in the past two years, and many people feel that if it weren't for the overwhelming Tottenham Hotspur, maybe Liverpool would have had the possibility and opportunity to win the championship.

But it is because of Tottenham Hotspur's deposit that Liverpool has missed the championship again and again, but the cruel thing is that so far this season has played 30 rounds, Tottenham Hotspur is 21 points ahead of Liverpool, who is second in the standings, but in the 31st round of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur encountered Liverpool's opponent.

In the eyes of many people, this is a battle of Tianwang Mountain.

Although this season's Premier League title is basically in Tottenham's pocket, whether in terms of points or fixtures, everyone is still convinced that there will always be a little miracle, so they believe that as long as this game kills Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool will still have a chance.

Rafael Benitez's side were knocked out of the Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup, and now there is only one Premier League left, and they are 21 points behind, and the possibility of overtaking is almost zero, but whether it is for his future at Liverpool or to prepare for next season, he must win Tottenham Hotspur at home.

For Liverpool, a win over Tottenham Hotspur would give them hope, because between one win and one defeat, the points have shrunk to 18 points, and with seven league games to go, although unlikely, there is at least a glimmer of hope.

But if you lose, it's really the end of everything!

So, this game for every player in Liverpool walked into Anfield Stadium with a very complicated, very conflicted, even frustrated mood, they looked like they were instigated by the fans in the stands, and from the beginning they showed a kind of courage and determination to fight for the fans, for dignity until the last moment.

Perhaps, this has become their last motivation!

Tottenham Hotspur's start was a bit conservative, after all, it was an away game, and the midfield was lined with a macho combination of Stroman, Nemanja Matic and Vidal, which made Tottenham's entire midfield look very tough and resilient.

After the opening, Liverpool took the initiative to press up and attack, but as soon as they entered the Tottenham Hotspur half and the 30-meter area, it was immediately like hitting an iron plate, they were good at attacking on the wing, but Tottenham Hotspur's midfield defense on the side was very in place, firmly clamping Liverpool's attack.

Liverpool are starting to dominate possession, but they don't seem to have any more composure because of that advantage, on the contrary, they seem impatient, hungry to do everything they can to win, hungry to beat Tottenham Hotspur and desperate to live up to the expectations of their fans.

In this case, they made mistakes that they should not have made on a daily basis.

Thiago? Silva played a long pass from the back in the 26th minute, and Lewandowski blocked Mamadou with his body? After Sako, he turned around and passed diagonally behind him, Messi quickly inserted it from behind, ran all the way into Liverpool's penalty area with the ball, and in the face of Reina, the Argentine deceived Reina with a calm feint and pushed the empty goal to hit, 1:0!

This goal completely ignited the anger of Liverpool, and they began to launch a round of fierce attacks on Tottenham Hotspur as if they were desperate, but Tottenham Hotspur's three fierce men sat in the midfield, making Liverpool's attack futile again and again, which caused a huge blow and pressure on their hearts.

The fans in the stands are still singing, still encouraging the players, hoping that they can lift their spirits and show the blood of the Red Army in this crucial game, kill Tottenham Hotspur, save a ray of life for the league title, and save some dignity for the team.

This kind of expectation can often make the team burst out with stronger combat effectiveness when the team is in good times, but when the team is in adversity, it often turns into a psychological pressure on the players.

In the 41st minute, Gerrard made a mistake in passing, Neymar broke the ball in front of the field and went straight behind him, and Lewandowski inserted the ball and scored a single goal for Tottenham Hotspur, 2:0!

This almost sentenced Liverpool to death, and the team collapsed completely.

After the second half restarted, after the two sides changed sides and fought again, Liverpool slowed down the tempo, pressing and pressing were no longer so fierce, but Tottenham Hotspur still sat firmly on the Diaoyu Tai, doing a solid job in the defense of their own half, once the ball reached their feet, they took slow and logical possession to consume Liverpool and lure Liverpool to press.

Liverpool also played once, but when this mistake was exchanged for Lewandowski's second single knife, and was almost scored by the Polish center forward again, Liverpool was also scared to come up again.

When the time reached seventy minutes, Ye Qiu began to make substitutions one after another, replacing some young players, Belgian seventeen-year-old midfielder Yuri? Tielemans started for Tottenham Hotspur for the first time, replacing Nemanja Matic as a lagging midfielder, and Tottenham Hotspur also began to actively press forward, adopt possession tactics, and patiently look for opportunities, but the overall tactics are still based on safety.

Benitez doesn't have much effective way to face Ye Qiu's almost rogue style of play, because he can clearly feel the current mentality of the players, which is a kind of mentality that although there is still a glimmer of hope, it is a kind of mentality that you should despair and tell you rationally but soberly, which is very torturous.

In fact, the game ended in a dull end, with Tottenham Hotspur beating Liverpool 2-0 away to win the Premier League title ahead of schedule, and this is also the sixth consecutive season that Tottenham Hotspur has won the Premier League.

Six consecutive titles, this is an honor for Tottenham Hotspur, an unprecedented honor.

When referee Webber blew the whistle for the end of the game, the fans in the stands fell silent, perhaps they needed a moment to adjust their feelings, but Benitez calmly walked to the visitors' dugout.

Faintly, I can't see a little wave, as if he has no feelings, this is the expression of the typical Spanish fat Benitez, and even when he saw Ye Qiu, he stretched out his hand and said, "You have been messing with Mourinho for a long time recently, and parking technology has improved a lot", this kind of words that should have been full of sarcasm and sarcasm were all light and tasteless when they came out of his mouth.

Ye Qiu didn't get angry because of this, he smiled, "It's not that my parking skills are good, it's that your driving skills are too bad!" ”

After a pause, Ye Qiu also threw out his chips, saving Benitez from retorting, "At least your cooperation in the thirty-meter area today is just as good as that of Deputy Squad Leader Cardiff, not much better!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Benitez was really speechless.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Tottenham Hotspur did not play at its best in this game, but the difference is that Liverpool is in a slump because of their own problems, and Tottenham Hotspur is willing to play more easily, so seeing that Liverpool's table is bad, they did not do their best.

A very important reason why Liverpool's performance was bad was that they were not calm enough.

With possession advantage, Liverpool always seem impatient whenever they enter the 30-meter area of Tottenham Hotspur and encounter defensive pressure, which makes Liverpool almost lose their past coordination and routines in this area, and it looks more like they are fighting separately, and it is difficult to pose a threat to Tottenham Hotspur.

"It turns out that no matter how hard your skull is, you can't hit my iron plate, right?" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

Benitez had a little expression at this time, that is, dissatisfaction, but not only dissatisfaction with Ye Qiu's sarcasm and sarcasm, but also because of the player, he said more than once that he should be calm and rational, but in fact, Liverpool did a terrible job in controlling his feelings.

Sometimes, Benitez also began to think that this might be his fate!

Looking at the past few years, although he has won the title of Ye Qiu's nemesis, in fact, he has lost a lot of games to Ye Qiu, except for that Champions League final, he is more in some chicken rib games, or in Ye Qiu's difficult situation to restrain the opponent, but if he really fights against him, in fact, he is also powerless against Ye Qiu.

But no matter what, it was impossible for Benitez to show his weak side in front of Ye Qiu, so the Spaniard squeezed out a smile like squeezing toothpaste, "Don't be complacent too early, winning the championship too early may not be a good thing, sometimes it may be a bad thing!" ”

"Thank you!" Ye Qiu still smiled, "However, you don't need to bother about it!" ”

Benitez turned around and left, Ye Qiu's expression on his face became a little stiff after he left, he actually knew the meaning of Benitez's words, winning the championship too early may lead the players to relax too early, which is not necessarily a good thing for the next Champions League and FA Cup battles.

Tottenham Hotspur's early Premier League title in March was praised and celebrated by fans around the world, who considered it to be the most dominant season in Premier League history.

Over the past six years, Tottenham Hotspur have shown their dominance, putting an end to the Premier League title coveting by other powerhouses, and winning the Premier League trophy time and time again.

But Ye Qiu and Benitez's concerns are not unfounded, with Tottenham Hotspur losing 3-2 at home to Southampton a week after returning to London from Anfield Stadium after winning the league title seven games ahead of schedule.

This battle shocked everyone, even Ye Qiu, but also Tottenham Hotspur fans around the world.

Tottenham Hotspur started the first half quite well, scoring two goals from Southampton in just over 20 minutes, much to the Saints' frustration.

But after half an hour, Tottenham Hotspur began to lose their starting sharpness and began to try to play the ball safe, trying to drag the game to the end like they did against Liverpool, but it turned out that Southampton were not Saints.

Towards the end of the first half, Philippe Coutinho played a clever pass, Lucas? Mora scored after breaking through Kompany, 1:2!

At halftime, Ye Qiu repeatedly emphasized that the team must wake up and not relax because of winning the championship in advance, but in the second half, Tottenham Hotspur's table still did not improve much, and at the beginning of the second half, the team gave Southampton a goal, or Lucas? Mora, assist from Immobile.

The Italian centre-forward has been in stark form since moving to Southampton this season, scoring 20 goals in the league and being named to the Italian national team as he is fighting for a ticket to his World Cup in Brazil.

After the equalizer, Ye Qiu replaced three players in one go, but the team's table still did not improve, Southampton has gone crazy, in this case, as a head coach, even Ye Qiu, there is no way to control the team well, and finally in the ninety-third minute, the last moment of stoppage time, because of Mobile's goal, helped Southampton reverse Tottenham Hotspur.

2:3, Tottenham Hotspur lost this chicken rib game at home!

From the point of view of the league competition, this game is meaningless, because Tottenham Hotspur won the championship in advance, which can only be said to kill Liverpool, but from another level, this game has sounded a wake-up call for Tottenham Hotspur, that is, once the players are relaxed, how to ensure the state?

All people are the same, when you have been nervous for most of the past six months, moving towards a goal, you can maintain your state well, but once you achieve this goal, you will have a sense of wanting to relax, have a good rest, and even many times this consciousness is not under your control.

In this game, Tottenham Hotspur not only lost a league game, but also lost a home record, which shattered Stratford's winning streak at Stratford Stadium, and also put Tottenham's winning streak this season to 31, and Tottenham Hotspur's unbeaten record to 157 games.

The media and fans were very tolerant of Tottenham's defeat, after all, Tottenham Hotspur have been too strong this season and have shown an unprecedented dominance, completely cutting off all other rivals' desire for the title.

However, the defeat in this game has once again rekindled the hope of all competitors, especially those in the Champions League and FA Cup, that is, how Tottenham Hotspur can maintain this form and how to regain the fighting spirit and morale of the team after winning the league title by record advantage.

If it was just this game, there would be no talk from the outside world, but the terrible thing is that three days later, Tottenham Hotspur sat at Stratford Stadium, took a dominant first half and took the lead thanks to Nemanja Matic's assist for Ribery's goal, but Bayern Munich turned the tide in the second half, Schweinsteiger scored the equaliser.

1:1, Bayern Munich can be said to have retreated from the away side, and also got a crucial away goal.

Speaking at the post-match press conference at the end of the match, Pep Guardiola was full of praise for his team's performance, believing that the players' tenacity in the second half had laid the foundation for the team's promotion, and he believed he could knock out Tottenham Hotspur at home.

'Yes, there is no doubt that Tottenham are a very strong team, but this game, especially in the second half, they gave me the feeling that there was a lack of an aggressiveness, that they seemed to have slackened and lost that determination and will to play the whole game, which is a very scary thing.

Ye Qiu also acknowledged Guardiola's statement in the post-match press conference, and he bluntly admitted that there was a problem with the team.

'I felt like we were having a big illness, everybody was going out of the way, we couldn't stay focused for 90 minutes, which made us make a lot of mistakes, some of which were fatal, and we lost our efficiency.

"My team and I are trying to find the cause, we need to find the right medicine, and I hope that when we play away to the Allianz Arena in a week's time, the team will recover and regain the passion for the game!"

Ye Qiu's statement also confirmed the speculation of the outside world, winning the championship early for Tottenham Hotspur, there are advantages, but the disadvantages are also obvious, especially for some players in the team, winning the championship early made them breathe a sigh of relief, coupled with the team's peak in the past few seasons, and this season's defeat of a qiē opponent, sweeping the entire Europa, let them look at the problem with an overly optimistic attitude, to face the difficulties in the game.

Ye Qiu is right, this is a disease, an infectious disease, an infectious disease that spreads very quickly, if this problem cannot be solved quickly, it will drag down the entire Tottenham Hotspur team, and even make the team face a kind of collapse.

In Ye Qiu's view, the league won the championship in advance, and it doesn't matter if you lose, let alone losing to Southampton, the team's unbeaten record was ended, which is not a good thing for Tottenham Hotspur, but the problem is that if you want to pay the price of losing the Champions League to stimulate the team to rekindle their fighting spirit, then this price is too big.

Therefore, in the first leg of the quarterfinals, the home team was forced to draw by Bayern Munich, and Ye Qiu announced a startling decision on the spot in the locker room!
