(Cat Flutter Chinese) After knowing the opponent in the Champions League, Liverpool's energy was pulled back to the field. Just one day after the match against Newcastle, Liverpool are set to face the FA Cup quarter-finals against Birmingham.

The game is one game after another, and it is really tense......

However, in this game, Liverpool still has the advantage.

In the FA Cup, Liverpool don't have any decent-looking opponents. After Chelsea, Manchester United, and Arsenal were eliminated one after another, Liverpool was already the strongest team in the FA Cup. Unlike the Champions League strife and league tug-of-war, those two trophies carry more weight and require more effort from Liverpool. And in the FA Cup, if nothing goes wrong, Liverpool will surely be the champions of this competition.

This is the most likely winner of all Liverpool's competitions.

However, although Liverpool have the advantage, it is still difficult to win the game. After all, the team is very tired now, just the day before yesterday, they had just finished playing against Newcastle, and they rushed back from the away game to play again, and this fatigue is getting more and more terrible.

Thankfully, Liverpool's front three came up with something better: they kept Figo in the middle, while Steven Gerrard and Zhao Yaning ran on the flanks to minimise Figo's lack of stamina. Although in this way, it is tantamount to sacrificing Gerrard's scoring chances. However, at this time, Gerrard also has to take care of his body, and if he still ignores the heavy artillery bombardment in such a fatigue combat mode, I am afraid that the possibility of his injury will be much higher.

And the positions of Figo and Gerrard have changed, and the attacking tasks in the front court will naturally be completed by Zhao Yaning. After that game at Manchester City, Zhao Yaning has recovered a lot. And his physical fatigue is not there, there is no psychological problem, and he can naturally continue to play at a high level.

"In this game, Liverpool almost relied on Zhao Yaning alone to wreak havoc on Birmingham's backline in the frontline."

With Steven Gerrard and Figo's stamina weakened, they can no longer do their job of breaking points up front. Although their technique and physicality ensure that they can still control the ball and hold the ball well up front, they can't really tear apart the backline. In this way, on Liverpool's attacking line, Zhao Yaning needs to show more roles.

It's just that in this game in Birmingham, he is the only defensive point that needs to be targeted, and he has worked a lot hard to defend Zhao Yaning. And Birmingham's intentions were very clear from the beginning: what they wanted was to rely on defensive counterattacks to play, and they attached great importance to the backline, which also made Zhao Yaning's breakthrough delay in opening up the situation.

It wasn't until thirty minutes after the first half that Liverpool started Chapter 585, and there were so many games that Liverpool's squad was still not strong enough to support such intensity.

Moreover, after all, it is now six points ahead of Chelsea, and such a point difference makes Liverpool feel that the league should be very stable, and in order to take care of the Champions League games, it is also appropriate to take a proper rest. Even if you lose two points, there is still a four-point difference, and there are only a few rounds left in the game, even if it is four points, it should be enough. After all, Liverpool's goal difference is not much different from Chelsea's, whether it is four points or six, it is only a round of early title wins.

Moreover, the current team really needs to take a break. After all, next week, the Champions League is just around the corner, and the importance of the Champions League is past the league. If you want to play well in the Champions League, you should sacrifice the league a little bit.

After all, it is difficult to fight on the third line, and it is an extremely huge test for the team's physical strength and lineup.

It's just that......

"How many games have we conceded in a row?" In the crowd, some people still raised questions, "Our defense line is not as stable as it was in the first half of the season." Said to be a draw, can it really be held? ”

If Liverpool in the first half of the season said that they wanted to take a break, no one would say anything. At that time, against Birmingham, they were able to play a big win away from home, they were able to break the team record of 10 consecutive games without conceding a goal, they had the best defence, even if they had a break, they didn't have to worry too much. But now, it's not just the attacks of the frontcourt players who are tired, but also the backcourt players. The continuous operation has also made it impossible for the back line to guarantee that every game is the best state, and they have also made mistakes and conceded goals from time to time, conceding goals in many consecutive games, and Liverpool now wants to defend one game, and they don't have enough confidence.

"Don't worry, I'm on the line." Carragher gritted his teeth and spoke.

At this time, it is natural to be the leader of the team who stands up. Now that Hyypia has taken a back seat this season and Gerrard has changed his position, then, at this time, it is naturally Carragher who needs to stand up as the vice-captain.

And in this game against Blackburn, Liverpool chose to let Zhao Yaning, Gerrard and Figo rest together. The front line was handed to Mikel Arteta and Garcia, while up front were Morientes and Fowler.

As soon as the game started, the players who were resting on the field were a little glad they did. Blackburn played as ferociously as usual, and this game, letting the players rest, really gave the players a time to rest and recuperate.

Moreover, after losing possession in front, the players in Liverpool's backline are also much more serious than in previous games. Blackburn's several attacks failed to penetrate Liverpool's defense, but allowed Liverpool's defense to find a few problems of its own and make up for them.

After all, Sissoko's form has been a bit sluggish since his injury. Although he repeatedly claimed that his eye disease was not a big deal, in fact, his mistakes increased a lot. Liverpool are now rarely able to guarantee not to concede a goal in a game, and it is not unrelated to his mistakes.

However, relying on this period of recovery, coupled with the full-time defense in this game, his form has still recovered somewhat.

In one game, thanks to the swings of the players at the back, Liverpool held on to the draw.

And with the adjustment of this game, Liverpool got plenty of rest.

Chelsea won their game without any suspense. They have brought the score close to just four points, and after all, they have only one line left in the game, and the pressure is much less than Liverpool. It is unlikely that they will make mistakes in the future.

But at this time, Liverpool needs to think about the game against Chelsea. For them, now, they need to meet Villarreal on their home turf.
