Liverpool's recent form has been insanely unbelievable.

Speaking at his post-match press conference, Koeman half-jokingly said: "I really hope that the team's form can continue until the end of the season without fluctuations, in which case we will lose a lot!" ”

The "loss" in his mouth naturally means that if the team encounters a key game in the back but the state slips, then the team's crazy state to kill Manchester City seems to be more than worth the loss.

Compared to Koeman's ease, Mancini's post-match press conference was like a memorial service.

Roberto Mancini took the blame after the game, admitting that he had made a lot of mistakes that led to Liverpool's comfortable home victory.

'We didn't get into the game in the first 20 minutes and Liverpool played really well in that period. I made a lot of mistakes tonight and it was my fault. The players could have done better, but I made mistakes. I apologise to the fans because we didn't get into the rhythm of the game until 20 minutes into the game. ”

'Liverpool got into form very quickly, they were very strong at home and we gave them a lot of chances early. After that we started to get into the groove, but not in the first 20 minutes. This weekend the other rivals won and it was very important for us to win this game, but now it's important that we forget about this game and get ready for the FA Cup semi-final at the weekend. ”

Just 16 minutes into the game, Manchester City's number one killer Carlos Tevez had to be replaced by Balotelli because of a ligament strain.

Roberto Mancini has confirmed that unless a miracle happens, Carlos Tevez will be out for the FA Cup semi-final against his former club Manchester United.

"It was his ligament problem. I think it's going to be hard for him to get into Saturday's game. Before the semi-finals. We only have five days to prepare. We want Tevez to play but he'll need to be out for about two weeks. ”

The other matches in the same round ended early.

Manchester United won 2-0 at home to Fulham.

Chelsea beat Wigan Athletic 1-0 at home.

Arsenal beat Blackpool 3-1 away.

After 32 rounds, the race for the Champions League zone in the standings has changed.

Liverpool 78 points.

Manchester United 66 points.

Arsenal 62 points.

Chelsea 59 points.

Manchester City 57 points.

Tottenham 53 points.

With six rounds of the league remaining, the competition between Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur has become the biggest attraction in the final stage of the Premier League.

With Suarez's excellent form after integrating into Liverpool, Fleet Street exclaimed: Who is Torres?!

When Fernando Torres was seen off in the winter transfer window, fans were still questioning the decision of Liverpool's board. But after more than three months, people quickly forget about Torres, who had all but disappeared at Stamford Bridge, and Liverpool made a big deal!

The second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals is coming one after another.

Koeman led his team to Ukraine, and in the pre-match press conference, the aggregate score of 6:1 was definitely difficult for Shakhtar Donetsk to turn around due to Liverpool's huge lead, and Koeman did not shy away from this.

'We're big ahead and it makes it easier for us to face tomorrow's game, but we'll still be vigilant to avoid being the biggest joke in Champions League history.'

If Liverpool are overturned. That is bound to go down in history and will be mentioned again and again by fans for a long time. It would be a humiliating event, and Koeman would have to find a way to avoid it anyway.

Therefore, he brought Qin Xiong, Gerrard, Alonso, these main forces, in case the situation on the court showed unfavorable signs in time to deploy troops to control the situation.

Shakhtar Donetsk is very pessimistic, although the coach said before the game that he would go all out to win and show the strength of Ukrainian football, but the European media did not pay attention to the fighting spirit of Shakhtar Donetsk, it was just a dying struggle.

On the evening of April 13, Shakhtar Donetsk's home stadium was not full.

Even if the opponent is Liverpool, the famous Red Army in Europe, Ukrainian fans seem to be in high spirits.

The first leg defeat took the second leg out of suspense, and the pain of a week ago has not yet healed, with only a handful of people still taking to the pitch to cheer on their beloved team with a determined New Year.

Shakhtar Donetsk is naturally the main force pouring out, and Liverpool has reservations.

Kuyt, who has returned from injury, made his debut to team up with Raul.

Youngsters Raheem Sterling, Tiot, Meireles and Mascherano make up the midfield.

Aurelio, Ag, Carragher, Kelly make up Liverpool's back line.

In today's game, Koeman rested most of the main players in rotation.

Shakhtar Donetsk attacked as soon as the game began, while Liverpool honestly played defensive counter-attacks.

Perhaps not adapted to the climate of Eastern Europe, Liverpool did not perform well after the opening, with a lot of passing and receiving errors, and in the 21st minute of the game, Shakhtar Donetsk tore apart Liverpool's defense on the right flank.

Douglas Costa cut inside with a solo shot past Aurelio and swept the ball towards goal, where Adriano, who flanked in the middle, met the ball and was blocked by Reina, but Judson, who followed up, slammed the ball into the back of the net.

Shakhtar Donetsk pulled a goal back at home, and after the goal, it seemed that Shakhtar Donetsk was in high spirits and morale.

They didn't expect Liverpool's wide youngster Raheem Sterling to be a good individual after a long run of Sterling pushed forward for almost 40 yards before passing the ball back to the top of the box, where Mereles cut in and fed Kuyt a through ball.

Kuyt's diagonal one-on-one shot towards the goal, he opted for an unselfish cross to assist.

Raul flanked the ball down the middle and scored wide.

Liverpool equalised in the 30th minute.

Shakhtar Donetsk felt a little powerless.

But they continued to attack, and at Anfield they had lost so much that they had left England with dignity.

If they can't play at home, then it will have a huge impact on their own self-esteem.

Before the end of the first half, Srna combined with Costa on the wing and crossed down, Adriano scored with a header in the box!

Carragher's explosiveness declined, and he couldn't keep up with the man at the critical moment, while Agger was not in a good starting position, and he was powerless to block.

At half-time, Coman encouraged the team, and at present, Liverpool still have a huge advantage on aggregate of 7:3, as long as the opponent does not score four goals in the second half, then Liverpool will advance to the Champions League semi-finals.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides, with Liverpool focusing more defensively and Shakhtar Donetsk continuing to step up their attack, racing against the clock to create an offensive and trying to pull off a miracle that seemed impossible to all. (To be continued.) )
