Chapter 341

For Chelsea, this game against Manchester City is a game that must not be lost.

Otherwise, Chelsea will not only be pulled 7 points away by Manchester United, but may also be overtaken by Tottenham, which is one point behind them.

Neither the Blues fans nor Chelsea executives will allow this to happen.

So for Conte in this game, there is no room for loss.

They lost 1-2 to Manchester United in the last round. If they continue to lose to Manchester City this time, Conte will be pushed into desperation.

His situation this season is very different from last season. The consecutive losses have made Chelsea's top management dissatisfied with him.

And the players in the locker room also had some criticisms of his tactics.

But it is a pity that Conte failed to do so in the end. Manchester City defeated Chelsea 1-0.

The Red Army fans also came in high spirits and came back disappointed, very disappointed.

Now they can only count on the only remaining Tottenham and Manchester United.

If these two teams still can't beat Manchester City in the back, then they feel that the Premier League title will probably fall to Manchester City.

As for Leeds United, which has just dropped from third to fourth, Red Army fans are not too optimistic.

Because the league has reached the final stage, Leeds United has already shown a decline, and the players' physical fitness has obvious problems.

Leeds United's 20-4 loss to Brighton in eight rounds of No.1 is the best proof, so it's not bad for them to keep fourth.

The Red Army fans lamented, but Klopp's confidence increased after watching this game.

Because Klopp saw the exhaustion of Manchester City players from this fierce match.

Sometimes Klopp hates the intensive devil's schedule of the Premier League without a winter break, but now he feels a little lucky and likes this intensive schedule.

Without the drag of this intensive schedule, Manchester City can be said to be the Premier League champion this season, without much suspense.

……

On March 3, the second round of the tragic UEFA Champions League quarter-finals kicked off again.

Although Liverpool played at home and had five away goals, Klopp did not dare to underestimate the enemy.

For the double red meeting between No. 10 and Manchester United in the second round of the league three days later, Klopp has a half-rotation in this game.

Mo Yang, Salah, Henderson, Robertson, Arnold and others all sat on the bench.

On the other hand, Conceicao in Porto was even more straightforward, almost playing with an all-substitute lineup. Famous players like Telles, Marega, and Brahimi did not play, and their attitude was very clear. Super top position.

Of course, the full bench may not be worse than the main lineup.

At least this game is like this.

In this game, Porto's substitute players who have played less in the Champions League are in excellent condition. They can frequently threaten Liverpool's goal through pass control, side kicking, rib penetration and other methods.

On Liverpool's side, Jota, Shaqiri and Ibrahimovic are also in excellent condition.

But in the final touch, it was almost a bit of a feeling.

In the first half, the two sides hit each other a few times, but they were either blocked by the goal post or slipped past.

This set the tone for a draw in the game.

In the last 15 minutes of the second half, Moyang and the others were also replaced by Klopp to find the feeling of the game, and they could not let the state drop.

But still no goal was born. The goal post in this game was the best in the game. Not only did it reject its own goal, but even Porto did not let it go.

In the end, the game ended 0-0. Liverpool eliminated Porto 5-0 on aggregate and successfully advanced to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

After the game, many Red Army fans sang the Liverpool team anthem in the stands, reluctant to leave for a long time.

Because this is the first time in the past ten years that Liverpool has reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

In the next few days, the eight Champions League teams in the first batch will decide the winner one after another.

Total score:
Juventus 4-3 Tottenham Hotspur
Basel 2-5 Manchester City

Liverpool 5-0 Porto

Real Madrid 5-2 Paris Saint-Germain
……

It is not surprising that Paris Saint-Germain once again fell at the feet of Real Madrid in the Champions League journey.

The most surprising thing is that Tottenham were eliminated by Juventus.These two teams are really a duel of spear and shield, which is extremely exciting.

The two sides drew 2-2 in the first round. Everyone thought that returning to the New White Hart Lane in the second round, Tottenham, which has home court advantage, could win Juventus.

The result was otherwise. Juventus relied on a strong defensive counterattack to win the second round 2-1 and eliminated Tottenham with a total score of 4-3.

……

On March 3th, the entire city of Liverpool went to Old Trafford, the theater of dreams, with the joy of qualifying for the Champions League, ushering in the second round double red meeting with arch rival Manchester United.

Compared with Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea, Manchester United has much less pressure this season.

Although they also have the Europa League to play, the intensity is still lower than that of the Champions League.

Manchester United also reached the quarter-finals of the Europa League this season.At present, their first round contest with AC Milan in Serie A has ended. Manchester United took away their first victory with a score of 8-2 in the away game.

In the Premier League, Manchester United is currently ranked third with 59 points, a full 19 points behind Liverpool. They have no hope of winning the championship, and it is hard to say whether they can keep the third position.

Because the fourth-ranked Leeds United are only one point away from them, and they can pull them down at any time.

In addition, Manchester United once again directed an annual cut-off drama in the winter transfer window in January.

But this time the victim was Manchester City. On the eve of Manchester City's signing of Sanchez, they suddenly made a strong move to raise the price, and finally succeeded in using Mkhitaryan to bring Sanchez from Arsenal to Old Trafford.

For this double red game, all Red Army fans think that it is not easy to play, but it should be no problem to win, because they have won the first five times, and gradually they have become accustomed to winning against Manchester United.

However, this was not the case, and the game did not play out according to the script they prepared.

In the 12th minute of the game, De Gea kicked the ball in front of the goal and accurately found Lukaku in the frontcourt.

Lukaku landed the ball in the right half of Liverpool, stuck Lovren behind him, and then took off directly, ferrying the header back.

Originally, the ball was not threatening, but Van Dijk, who has always been trusted and loved by the fans, made a mistake this time. He fell behind the defense.

As a result, Rashford, who was right next to Arnold, was not in an offside position at all when he started chasing the ball forward, which pitted Arnold.

After Rashford entered the penalty area, he looked extremely calm. With a slanted forward spike on the inside of his right foot, he directly got rid of Arnold in front of him, then quickly followed the ball, and calmly rubbed his right foot into the far corner.

Karius in front of the goal was helpless in the face of this close-range rubbing shot.

The team took the lead in conceding the ball, but the Red Army fans instead gave Van Dijk an encouraging applause, saying that they can understand that after all, even the best players will make mistakes, and the game has just begun.

But just a few minutes later, Manchester United's second goal came again.

In the 17th minute of the game, Manchester United and Liverpool won after a fight in midfield. The right back Valencia passed the ball back to goalkeeper De Gea.

As a result, De Gea stood in the penalty area and observed the frontcourt. He actually picked up the ball in the penalty area and made a long pass to the frontcourt. The frontcourt he was looking for seemed to be Lukaku, who was planted in Liverpool's defense.

In Lukaku's second confrontation with Lovren, he won again and directly overturned Lovren behind him.

Then he got the ball that was rubbed to the ground, stuck the rushing Henderson behind him, and protected the ball in front of him.

After Mata advanced, he made a wonderful through ball.

Although Mata received the ball, he couldn't escape the mountain of Van Dijk, and the shot was blocked by Van Dijk.

As a result, the ball rolled to Rashford on the left side of the penalty area again.

Arnold turned to mark, but it was too late.

With a goal, Rashford was full of confidence. He ran into the penalty area to meet the ball and scored twice.

This goal directly stunned everyone including Klopp.

Two goals, almost in exactly the same way, that's not what the hell is.

On the field, Mo Yang was also amazed by these two extremely similar goals. He really didn't expect such a weird scene to happen.
