Today 4 more is finished.
Recently, I started to collect manuscripts.
Pellegrini was slightly pessimistic in his post-match press conference for the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals: "Real Madrid should have conceded two fewer goals, but the team's mental laxity after the equaliser and that penalty led to us losing the game by two goals. ”
Whether it's a journalist who watched the game or a football critic.
I agree with this statement by Manuel Pellegrini.
Pepe's foul can be said to have caused a big disaster, and if he didn't foul, he would at least give Casillas a better chance to save, but what about penalties?
It turned into Qin Xiong's spoon penalty to humiliate Real Madrid, not only hitting Real Madrid from the score, but also making Liverpool more arrogant from the mental level.
After Cristiano Ronaldo scored the equaliser, Real Madrid quickly conceded a third goal, which was an important turning point in the game.
Real Madrid had not yet established themselves and relied on the psychological advantage of a goal-scoring draw to better face the game, only to fall behind again in the blink of an eye, which was originally a good morale boost, but instead turned into a blow!
Commenting on the next leg at the Bernabeu, Pellegrini vowed that "we will study the defeat carefully, learn from the lessons and get the next leg right, and every Real Madrid player has confidence in that." ”
Koeman was in high spirits at the post-match press conference, where he praised the performance of the entire Liverpool squad before suggesting that the next leg would be at the Bernabeu. Liverpool will take advantage of the first leg!
Definitely not give Real Madrid a chance to turn the tables!
The Liverpool crowd went to a nearby PUB for a small celebration after the game.
Everyone dressed in casual clothes and became the center of attention inside PUB. They walked into the private room. Then everyone sat around and celebrated the victory with a few drinks.
'Real Madrid isn't remarkable, they don't have a lot of stuff on a technical and tactical level.
Torres said with a hint of disdain as he put down his glass.
Gerrard said with a smile: "After all, they are a team with a big change, and they have not really taken shape, which we should understand, but Real Madrid is still very strong, and their individual combat ability is enough to make every team fearful." Otherwise we wouldn't have conceded three goals so much. In the next round, we have to be more careful. ”
'Steven is right, but I think the next leg will be easier because at the Bernabeu, Real Madrid are like they are born with shackles and they go to play with a lot of pressure, and they are a team that is naturally attacking and they have to attack even if there is a problem at the back. I'm sure we'll have more chances to attack in the next round! ”
Qin Xiong told everyone what he really thought in his heart, this is not for everyone to underestimate the enemy. It's about preparing everyone in advance to take advantage of Real Madrid's weaknesses at the Bernabeu and take advantage of them as much as possible!
Liverpool's players nodded their heads, and they knew that they had experienced this first-hand when they faced Real Madrid two years in a row during the Benitez era.
Everyone celebrated together until about one o'clock in the morning, and then parted ways.
Qin Xiong went to bed when he returned home.
They were so tired, if it weren't for the fierce competition that the excitement in their hearts couldn't stop, otherwise, they would have gone home to rest.
The next day, Fleet Street released the Champions League report.
The headline of The Times read: The Red Army sank the Galaxy battleship!
"In the battle at Anfield, Real Madrid, known as the second generation of the Galaxy Battleship, did not show its strength stronger than the Reds, while Liverpool has always occupied the advantage of the field with the advantage of home field, and finally took the lead with a score of 5:3, and there is a high probability of advancing to the quarterfinals of the Champions League!"
The Guardian expressed concern.
"There is a hidden concern behind Liverpool's big win!"
"Liverpool, who have conceded three goals at home, have exposed their defensive deficiencies, and once they go to the Bernabeu, will the in-form Real Madrid leave Liverpool's defence in tatters? We can't imagine that Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Benzema, these are all stars who can break Liverpool's goal at any time! Koeman has to be wary of this and improve defensively! ”
"The Star" sang praises for Qin Xiong.
"February is a time for Qin Xiong to catch up, first with the old owner Arsenal, and then meet the old owner Real Madrid, he has come up with a wonderful performance, through the goal to the old owners to say hello, maybe there is no old minister in the world like Qin Xiong does not give the old club a face, but from another point of view, we should feel sorry for Arsenal and Real Madrid, they missed the best stars in the world!"
After the Champions League, Liverpool's entire army recuperated, and the load on the main players was too great for continuous battles, and in the Premier League at the weekend, Koeman let most of the main players recuperate.
Liverpool travel to Manchester to challenge Manchester City in the Blue Moon.
Prior to that, Manchester's red hosts, Manchester United, were first beaten 3-1 away from home by Liverpool's local rivals Everton!
Chelsea, on the other hand, won 2-0 away at Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Arsenal are sorry, the Champions Group don't care about Arsenal anymore, they have been kicked out of the Group after losing to Liverpool in the last round.
The BIG4 war has turned into a triwizard battle.
Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea.
Liverpool, who did not send a main player, played very conservatively away from home, and Koeman did not have high requirements for the team, so it would be good to be able to pick up points.
Manchester City's new boss Roberto Mancini was hoping to get a win against Liverpool to boost his team's morale, but City went on a 90-minute rampage to draw with Liverpool at home.
0:0
Although Liverpool were shortened by Chelsea in this round, Manchester United behind Liverpool dropped three points, and Liverpool got one point, but widened the gap with second place.
At the end of the 27th round of the Premier League, Liverpool are nine points ahead of Manchester United and also nine points ahead of Chelsea, who have climbed to second place in the league on goal difference.
With 11 games left in the Premier League, Fleet Street believes that if Chelsea and Manchester United can reduce the gap to Liverpool to within five points in the next six rounds, it is really impossible to draw conclusions about who will be the winner.
Liverpool, in particular, have to have a direct dialogue with two direct rivals!
That's a 6-point campaign!
If Liverpool loses in a row, maybe Chelsea and Manchester United can join forces to give Liverpool an unprecedented Premier League crash! (To be continued.) )
