Chapters 5 and [-]: The battle for the league title is heating up

Before the second leg at the Bernabeu, Arsenal still have a league game to play.They will sit at their own Emirates Stadium to usher in the Magpies Newcastle United. Wenger has announced the starting list before the game.

Not surprisingly, most of the main and core players have been rotated. Obviously, Arsenal has now, no, perhaps already shifted their focus to the Champions League.

Wenger said before that Li Zihan could not attend this game. Everyone did not see Li Zihan's name in the 18-man roster, so it is not surprising.

Now everyone's focus is on what happened to Li Zihan's injury and fell to the ground, is it serious?Can you catch up with the second round of the game?
Regarding this point, not only the club and the coaching staff, but even the Arsenal players remained silent.

Such a depressing atmosphere made everyone feel that Li Zihan's injury must be serious, otherwise why did Arsenal keep it so secret?Isn't it because they are afraid of shaking the morale of the army?

Just the day before, there was a good thing to do a Premier League standings. Now Manchester City ranks first. Below the points is the 79 points they have scored. Below the games are the 35 games they played. It's their Manchester City crest.

And No.2 Liverpool, there are no changes in the points and the number of matches, but the team name is not Liverpool's team logo or name, but Suarez's head.
The No.3 Arsenal is similar, except that under the team name is Li Zihan's profile picture.
No.4 Chelsea, the team name is Mourinho's avatar
The author who released this standings means that Manchester City ranks first in the Premier League, but the second is not Liverpool but Liverpool's leading star Suarez, and the third is not Arsenal, but Arsenal's leading star Li Zi Han, and the fourth place. Of course it is the magic bird Mourinho.
"I'm rubbing... This thigh, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea are so obvious." Everyone who has read this list thinks so.

This is indeed the case. Liverpool's strong recovery this season is inseparable from their striker Suarez, and the same is true for Arsenal. Without Li Zihan, they will not be talking about championship contenders. The top four qualifying for the European war will have to fight for their lives
Fans of other teams have expressed that the two giants are so unscrupulous, especially Arsenal, a team that has historically cooperated as a whole.

And this round of the league, without Li Zihan, Ozil and other core Arsenal, it seems to the outside world that they will definitely lose under the sword of Newcastle United, the "six-pulse sword". Take a nerve knife.
It's just that the script seems to deviate from everyone's imagination again
Arsenal, without their core players, actually defeated Newcastle United at their home court, and the score went to [-]-[-].Veteran Rosicky scored twice and won cheers from the fans. The Danish high center Bendtner, who was given up by Arsenal, was the icing on the cake!
Everyone was very optimistic about Newcastle before, because if they worked harder, they could qualify for the Europa League next season, but they did not expect that both the score and the game process would be so beyond imagination.

In the end, everyone came to the conclusion that Newcastle deserved to be a nerve knife, and they could lose.
Of course, the focus of this round is not on Arsenal at all. The focus of this round is Liverpool sitting at Anfield against Chelsea.

When the league comes to the 36th round, this kind of game is almost the game that determines the ownership of the league champion this season.

As the finale of this round, this game is naturally placed at the end, and this season's championship contenders Manchester City and Arsenal both won, so the pressure is all on Liverpool's side.

At the beginning of the game, everything was orderly and there was nothing to say.

The two sides had mutual offense and defense, and the score was still zero to zero when the game came to the No. 60 minute of the game. Many people thought that this was the end of another handshake.

But when the game came to No. 605 minutes, the situation changed suddenly.Coutinho intends to pass the ball back to the midfielder to control the rhythm when the attack is fruitless.

The ball was passed to Gerrard, the core midfielder, and the old captain stretched out his foot to catch the ball, but his foot suddenly slipped, his center of gravity was unstable, and his body sank slightly, resulting in the ball not being received, and the ball passed from his feet slip past.

Demba Ba, who was wearing a blue jersey, directly took advantage of his speed at this time, took the ball missed by Gerrard and strode forward, and then strode forward to catch up with the ball.

Gerrard quickly adjusted his center of gravity, then turned and chased.It's just that Gerrard, who is 35 years old this year, can no longer catch up with the younger black striker Demba Ba.

And Gerrard's position is almost parallel to the central defender's big bald Skrtel, so after Demba Ba rushed over, he directly formed a single-handedly.

Liverpool goalkeeper Mignolet decisively chose to abandon the goal. When he encountered Demba Ba and wanted to catch the ball, he realized that he was outside the penalty area.According to the rules, the goalkeeper cannot touch the ball with his hands outside the penalty area, so he can only stretch out his feet and steal the ball like a central defender.

At this time, Demba Ba shot directly from the inside of his instep, the ball slipped between Mignolet's legs, and then in the eyes of all the fans, the ball rolled into the goal line.

"Put the crotch!!! Got it!!! Den-Baba!!!"

The legendary Anfield was silent. It wasn't that they were surprised by Demba Ba's shot, but that everyone didn't recover from this almost dramatic scene.

The biggest reliance of the Red Army, as the biggest pillar of Liverpool and synonymous with Liverpool in the past ten years, their captain Steven Gerrard actually made such a simple but very important mistake in such an important game
One slipped and directly made Chelsea a one-handed one.

The broadcast shot did not show Demba Ba who scored the goal, but cut to veteran Steven Gerrard's face.

There was no expression on the big bun-like face, but the moist corners of his eyes betrayed him who was pretending to be calm.

"This should have been Liverpool's best season, this should have been Gerrard's closest to the league title, but" the host left unsaid.

Chelsea took the lead in the away game in 65 minutes. There were still [-] minutes in the game, but facing a defensive team like Chelsea, no one thought that Liverpool could overtake the score.Although Suarez is very powerful, he is not Li Zihan. It is really difficult for him to perform "Li's Miracle".

And Chelsea this season is not Chelsea, but called "Chelsea bus".
When the fans watching the live TV came back to their senses, they complained one after another.

"What does this mean??"

"Success is Gerrard, and defeat is Gerrard?"

"A slip of the hand. No, it's a slip of the foot accidentally, and you will lose your fame for the rest of your life."

"Fortunately, Demba Ba is my starting striker. If Torres is the starting player, this one-handed goal is really hanging, 'Torres can't score by himself'."

"The 'dark' upstairs is my big tony!!"

This kind of plot is beyond everyone's imagination, but the following plot is within everyone's expectations.

With this goal, Chelsea played even more "inactive", but they were not active in attacking. They had a ball in their hands, and I had it in the world, so they were in a hurry to attack.

Instead, Liverpool pressed hard, trying to equalize or even overtake the score.

The league has played 36 rounds, Manchester City now has 81 points, and Liverpool currently only has 78 points. If Liverpool can't win Chelsea in this game, Liverpool, who are three points away from the league with two rounds to go, may not be able to. Against Manchester City, if they draw this game, there is still some hope
When the game entered 73 minutes, Mourinho began to make substitutions and adjustments.The goal hero Demba Ba was substituted and Torres went into battle.

Everyone who sees this substitution knows that Chelsea is starting to strengthen their defense, because fans all over the world know that Torres is the center with the strongest defensive ability, and also the center back with the strongest offensive ability.
Sure enough, after Torres came on the field, his frenzied pressing in the midfield made Liverpool uncomfortable.In the end, Liverpool had no choice but to play a long pass.

A long-range shot from Gerrard almost redeemed himself, but Cech was brave and hugged the ball directly.

When the game entered 10 minutes, Liverpool became even more anxious. The third line pressed forward aggressively, and even Skrtel pressed the center line.

And Chelsea staged a textbook defensive counterattack in 85 minutes.After defending Liverpool's three consecutive attacks, Chelsea took possession of the ball.

Then Lampard drove the ball directly into the frontcourt with a big kick, Hazard unloaded the ball from the chest, then turned halfway and kicked the ball forward.

Torres started instantly, he did not catch the ball, but took off to fight for the header.

The ball was topped by Torres, flew over the head of the remaining central defender Agger, and then flew towards Liverpool's backcourt.

Torres, who landed, got rid of Agger and reached out to pull the jersey, and then quickly followed.

"Single sword!!! Torres single sword!!!"

The hearts of Liverpool fans are all tugging, because if the ball is scored by Chelsea, then...
