At the end of the game against Atletico Madrid, Liverpool ushered in another big enemy-"Blue Army" Chelsea!

Before Abrahimovic, Chelsea could only be regarded as a strong Premier League team, but after entering the Abrahimovic era, they quickly became a Premier League giant with their ruble offensive.

It's just that since Mourinho left, Chelsea have missed the Premier League championship. Of course, Chelsea's competitiveness is still very strong.

In the 2007-2008 season, which is the season Mourinho left, Chelsea was still outstanding, winning the runner-up in the league, being eliminated by Parma coached by Levi in ​​the Champions League, and stopping in the semi-finals of the Champions League.

In the second season, that is, the 2008-2009 season, Chelsea fired the Israeli coach and hired the future Evergrande coach Scolari to coach. Under Scolari's coaching, Chelsea once played an unbeaten record of 2008 rounds. But from late October 10, with the home loss to Liverpool in the league, the team's state also began to decline.At home, there have been bad results such as a 2009-[-] draw with Newcastle, a [-]-[-] loss to Arsenal and a [-]-[-] draw with West Ham United.Entering [-], the team's state still hasn't improved, losing to Manchester United and Liverpool successively by [-]-[-] and [-]-[-].

Finally, in February, Chelsea announced Scolari's dismissal, and Hiddink, the head coach of the Russian national team, took office and served as Chelsea's interim head coach before the end of the 2008-2009 season.

At the end of the season, Chelsea ranked third in the league, and the Champions League once again stopped at the semi-finals.

By this season, Abrahimovic paid a lot of money to invite Levi's old opponent Carlo Ancelotti.Although Ancelotti was knocked out by Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan in the Champions League quarter-finals, he went on to lead Chelsea to the FA Cup and now leads Manchester United in the league table With three league points and only two rounds left in the game, Chelsea's double this season seems a matter of course.

Before the start of the game, many people thought that Li Wei would release the water.

Everyone knows that Levi and Manchester United have a great hatred. With the passage of time, the matter of Manchester United teasing Levi has slowly revealed some news, coupled with the deep digging of reporters.Although people are not very clear about the ins and outs of this incident, they probably know what happened.

The starting list announced two hours before the start of the game seems to have verified people's speculation.

The goalkeeper is still Reina. Although Mattia Palin has shown enough potential, he is not the opponent of Reina in the competition with Reina. Mattia Palin came to practice.You must know that Liverpool is currently ranked third, but they are only one league point ahead of Arsenal, and they may be overtaken by the opponent at any time.

On the defense line, Levi did not choose a three-back line. Glenn Johnson, Carragher, Boateng and Insua formed a four-back line of defense.

The midfielder is full of substitutes, Lucas, Vidal, Lallana.

The front line is almost full of substitutes. Right winger Griezmann, center Luirk Remy, and left winger Dirk Dirk. Except for Dirk, the other two are rotation players in Liverpool.

Before the game, some reporters questioned Levi's formation, claiming that Levi and Chelsea played "tacit ball".

But Li Wei sneered at such a question, and he replied: "We had a very intense match with Atletico Madrid three days ago. At this time, let the main players continue to play. Even if we win, it will be a miserable victory. Do I have to fight for Manchester United?"

Indeed, Liverpool's schedule is very tight now. May [-]nd is the game against Chelsea, and May [-]th is the game against Hull City. This game is also the final game of the Premier League.After the last Premier League match, the Europa League final will be on the evening of May [-].

For this reason, Liverpool has now applied to the FA to adjust the game time, and the match against Hull City on May [-] will be adjusted to May [-], so that Liverpool will have an extra day of valuable rest time.

so far.The FA has not responded to the application yet.

In order to prevent the FA from rejecting Liverpool's application, it is necessary for Li Wei to save his energy in the league.

Compared with the third position in the league, Li Wei pays more attention to the Europa League champion!
Although the gold content of the Europa League champion is not high, the bonus is not much.His winning prize is only 500 million euros, and the runner-up is 250 million euros.

The Champions League is different. The champion can get a bonus of 50 million euros, and the runner-up bonus is also higher than that of the Europa League champion, a full 650 million euros.

It is worth mentioning that, excluding game ticket revenue, sponsorship revenue, advertising revenue, etc., simply calculating the cup bonus, the Champions League winning team can get up to 3740 million euros.The prize money of the Europa League has shrunk significantly. Even if they finally win the championship, the prize money will only be 990 million euros.Teams participating in the UEFA Champions League group stage, even if they lose all six games, can get at least 860 million guaranteed bonuses.

The reason why Li Wei attaches great importance to the Europa League championship is because it is a cup championship second only to the UEFA Champions League in Europe. Although he is not very attractive to those football superstars, he has considerable appeal to ordinary stars. .

In addition to this, there are actually many other invisible benefits of the Europa League.

After winning the Europa League, Liverpool can attract more fans around the world, and naturally attract more advertisers.

The value of the players will also increase to a certain extent. The reason why Sevilla became a black shop in Europe at the beginning was that the Europa League made the value of the players rise. The most famous one is Alves.In order to get him, Manchester City paid a huge transfer fee of 500 million euros, and in history, Barcelona also paid a transfer fee of 4000 million euros in order to get him.

…………

The game between Liverpool and Chelsea started, but the result was not as people imagined, and Liverpool was full of water.

Liverpool played very tenaciously in this game, and even once mastered the rhythm on the court.

In the 303rd minute of the game, Vidal made a mistake in returning a pass. Drogba passed Reina on the left side of the penalty area and then easily pushed the empty goal.

In 4 minutes, Chelsea expanded the score, Drogba made a direct pass, Anelka made a pass from the right side of the penalty area, and Lampard shot from the edge of the small penalty area before Griezmann scored, scoring his No. 20 league goal of the season. ball.

Although Lampard has scored a lot of goals, he is only ranked fifth in the league's scorer list. This season's Premier League scorer list is very competitive, with as many as five players scoring [-] goals!

Liverpool caught up at the end of the game. First, Griezmann succeeded in countering offside and knocked on the middle of the road. Loic Remy followed up and scored.

Immediately afterwards, in stoppage time, Gerrard, who came off the bench, took a corner kick. Boateng overwhelmed Chelsea captain Terry, who had just come back from the ban, and scored with a header.

Absolutely tied Chelsea.

This result was something no one expected before the game, or even six or 10 minutes before the game.

Liverpool actually tied Chelsea with a substitute lineup. Although there are reasons why Chelsea players slackened in the second half, it cannot be denied that Liverpool's substitute players performed well.

After the game, Levi looked at the reporters coldly: "Who said Liverpool and Chelsea played tacit cooperation?"

The reporters were speechless.

Fans who have watched this game know that Liverpool played very hard, even fighting until the last second of the game. How could such a team let water in the game?
Ancelotti also said: "Liverpool played very well in this game, they played out their spirit."

Although Liverpool drew with Chelsea and Manchester United also beat the black cat Sunderland 1-0 in another game, the difference between Manchester United and Chelsea was only shortened to one league point.

This is a satisfactory result.

Although Levi will not release water in the game, he is not willing to reverse Chelsea to win the championship.
