() The Birmingham team is now ranked third from the bottom in the Premier League and is staying in the relegation zone.However, they are not very far from the three or four teams in front of them, and the most points difference is only three points, one goal.

Therefore, Birmingham has not been completely relegated now, and they still have a chance to stay in the Premier League.Of course, their current situation is not good.Now they must ensure that they will win all the last three rounds, and at the same time they must hope that the team in front of them will capsize.

However, in the penultimate round of this league, Birmingham will play at home against Liverpool, which is now ranked top.Although Liverpool are currently at the top of the league table.However, they did not bag the league title.At this time, in order to secure the league title, Liverpool will obviously clash with Birmingham.

This is very unfavorable for Birmingham's relegation, because the Liverpool team is much stronger than them, and it is difficult for them to get a victory from Liverpool.

On the day of the game, all of Liverpool's main players came to Birmingham. It seems that they did not prepare for the second leg of the UEFA Champions League three days later.This made the people of Birmingham very worried. Originally, they wanted Liverpool to reserve for the Champions League match three days later, so they would have a chance to get three points from Liverpool. Now it seems that this is very difficult.

However, even if it is very difficult, they will not give up.They don't want to be relegated, they want to stay in the Premier League, so even if their opponent is Liverpool, they have to fight.At least they still have a chance if they fight hard, if they don't fight hard, they don't even have a chance.

Therefore, they are not timid, and they must fight this game.

Coming to the away game, Liverpool also want to win, and now only victory can ensure that they are getting closer and closer to the final league championship.

Now the entire Liverpool team is very cautious, even nervous.Now has reached the most critical moment.At this time, it is impossible to make any mistakes.If you accidentally lose everything, the Liverpool people certainly don't want to collapse in the end.

Qiu Ze is also working hard to adjust himself these days, so that he is in the best condition. There is less than a month left in this season's competition. He hopes to hold on to the last month and get a good result.

Before coming to Birmingham, Qiu Ze said in an interview with reporters: "No matter who our opponent is now, our primary goal is to be ourselves and bring out our own strength, so that we can go further. .”

The other Liverpool players were also very cautious. Liverpool captain Gerrard said almost the same thing as Qiu Ze when he was interviewed by reporters. The pressure was so great that they were a little out of breath.

After going to Birmingham, the Liverpool team was very cautious and did not accept interviews with media reporters. They were preparing for the game wholeheartedly.Although their opponents in this game were not strong, they were not careless.

Now, Liverpool has regarded Birmingham as a team at the level of Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea.They came here today with the attitude of fighting for Birmingham.

If Birmingham knew what the Liverpool people were thinking at this time, they would definitely faint from fright.They don't want Liverpool to think of them as Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, they want Liverpool to be careless so that they have a chance of winning.

On the day of the game, Liverpool sent all the main lineup. It can be seen from this that Liverpool must win the game. This is not good news for Birmingham.

The reason why the Liverpool people dare to do this is because they know that Chelsea will definitely not keep it in this round of competition.Because their opponent is Manchester United, at this time, Chelsea did not give up the team's competition for the league title. In such a game, Chelsea must not dare to hold back.

Benitez knew that Chelsea's consumption must be greater than their Liverpool, so he sent all the main players to fight Birmingham.

Liverpool played with all the main force, and it should be very easy to beat Birmingham. Benitez sat on the sidelines with a very relaxed expression. He thought they could easily win this game.

However, just 3 minutes into the game, their Liverpool team conceded a goal.At that time, Benitez was dumbfounded, and today's luck is too bad.

This is an own goal!

Liverpool's central defender Carragher scored a goal at the end of the game, but the goal was not counted to Liverpool, but to Birmingham, because the goal he scored was his own goal.

After Birmingham's winger broke through from the wing, he swept the football into Liverpool's penalty area.This guy's cross pass used all his energy. It doesn't look like this guy is passing the ball, but more like a shot, because the ball is fast and powerful.

The football rolled into Liverpool's penalty area at a high speed while sticking to the turf. Such a pass was very dangerous, because the ball was too fast, and as long as people in the penalty area touched it, very unexpected things would happen.

With a pass like this, the goalkeeper and central defender on the defensive side are under great pressure, because they dare not touch it, and a touch may cause an own goal.

Carragher originally didn't intend to touch the football, but the Birmingham striker behind him is already waiting there. He knows that if he doesn't touch it, the Birmingham striker behind him will definitely stretch his foot and shoot the goal, which is very dangerous. .

Therefore, in order not to give the Birmingham striker behind him a chance, Carragher fell to the ground and stretched his legs to shovel the football, trying to shovel the football out of the baseline.

But the ball was too fast and too powerful. The football hit Carragher's foot hard. Carragher's foot was deformed under the huge force, and then the football snapped and stuck to the near post of Liverpool's goal. Flew into the goal.

One to zero, the Birmingham team miraculously led the mighty Liverpool team, and the hoarse shouts and roars of the Birmingham fans immediately sounded at the scene.

This start is simply too dreamy for Birmingham, they are very excited, and now they are expected to avoid relegation.Being able to beat Liverpool will definitely bring great confidence to their relegation, and the Birmingham fans cheered wildly.

Although this conceded goal was a bit unexpected, the Liverpool people were not knocked down. In their view, this conceded goal was not a big deal. Now that the game has just started, they have plenty of opportunities to change the score.At this point, they are full of confidence.

After the game restarted, Liverpool began to attack with all their strength, and they didn't want to lose here and leave.Now Liverpool can't afford to lose a game, and can't afford to lose a point. Now they must guarantee victory, for the league championship.

On the sidelines, Rafael Benitez did not sit firmly on the Diaoyutai anymore. He stood up and stood on the sidelines to urge the Liverpool players to attack. Failure is unacceptable to him, and failure is also unacceptable to the Liverpool team. of.

Liverpool launched a ferocious attack and quickly pushed Birmingham back to the half, and the game began to enter the half-court offensive and defensive drill mode.

Now that we have a goal in hand, Birmingham certainly don't have to fight Liverpool anymore.Birmingham chose to retreat and defend, and parked a bus in front of their goal.They hope to keep the advantage of this ball until the end, and keep it until the end of the game.

Yes, Birmingham's choice is very correct. If they play against Liverpool, they will definitely be blocked.Now that they choose to stick to it, they still have a slight chance of winning.

However, it was clear that Liverpool would not let Birmingham win, and Liverpool launched a ferocious attack.

Liverpool's attack is very oppressive and full of threats. Birmingham's defensive players are under a lot of pressure, and their movements can't help but gradually increase. They began to use fouls to disrupt Liverpool's ferocious offensive.

In fact, this is also a good way, but the price paid is also very high. Only 10 minutes into the first half, four people from Birmingham got yellow cards. If the fouls continue like this, Birmingham is likely to be called The referee will go down to a few people.

Therefore, gradually the Birmingham people began to restrain themselves again, but once the Birmingham people did not foul, the offensive threat of the Liverpool people came to the Birmingham team again, which exhausted the Birmingham defensive players.

At this moment, in the No. 30 minute of the first half, Liverpool's wide-field midfielder, Dirk Dirk, sprinted across the wing after catching a pass from midfielder Qiu Ze, broke through Birmingham's full-back, and then directly Pilling from the wing.

The football flew into Birmingham's penalty area rapidly, and Birmingham's defensive players were nervous.In the penalty area, Liverpool's Spanish striker Fernando Torres jumped high and threw the football towards the gate of Birmingham.However, the ball hit the Birmingham defender in the back and bounced off.

However, the football bounced right at the feet of Qiu Ze, who was rushing towards the penalty area. Facing the incoming ball, Qiu Ze didn't have any weakness in his feet, and directly kicked the football to the far lower corner of the goal.The football clings to the turf, flies over the Birmingham goal and into the far corner.

One to one, Liverpool equalized the score, and the Birmingham fans couldn't help but sigh.It can be seen that the gap between Birmingham and Liverpool is really huge. They can't beat Liverpool at all. Birmingham are very lucky to be able to play like they are now.

At the end of the first half, Birmingham drew Liverpool [-]-[-] at home.In the second half of the game, Birmingham still adopted a sticky defense. They hoped to get at least one point. One point is still very important for Birmingham to relegation.

However, just at the start of the second half, Liverpool scored again against Birmingham's goal. It was Liverpool's Spanish striker Fernando Torres. The man entered the penalty area and slammed the goalkeeper directly. The football passed through the crotch of the Birmingham goalkeeper and rolled into the goal.

Two to one, Liverpool overtook the score, and the fans in Birmingham were about to cry.

At this time, Rafael Benitez began to make frequent substitutions, preparing for the second leg of the Champions League semi-final three days later.Qiu Ze, Fernando? Torres and Harvey? Alonso were replaced one after another, Liverpool opened the semi-main mode.

Benitez thought that Liverpool had already won this game.However, in the last minute of the game, Birmingham miraculously equalized the score. This time it was still a Liverpool player who scored, which was another own goal.

Birmingham launched a fierce counterattack at the last moment. In the last minute of stoppage time, the ball was kicked directly from the wing and drove into Liverpool's penalty area.In the penalty area, Liverpool's Argentine midfielder Mascherano jumped high to block the ball.

However, the football hit the guy hard, changed direction, and the football flew into Liverpool's goal like a ghost.

Two to two, Birmingham was extremely lucky to get an uneasy draw at their home court.

On the other hand, Liverpool got a draw in the away game like a ghost, which made the head coach of Liverpool, Rafael Benitez, very angry. This luck is simply too bad. The own goal is two, God Ah, is there any luck worse than this?Rafael Benitez almost fainted out of breath.
