Revive Liverpool

Chapter 313 Champions League Knockout

After losing the game against Liverpool, Manchester City's championship this season is basically hopeless.

As Chelsea entered the final of the League Cup, this round of the game had to be postponed.

In this way, the gap between Liverpool and Chelsea in the league standings has temporarily widened a bit.

……

In the 28th round of the Premier League, Liverpool hosted Burnley.

In this game, Liverpool let Lewandowski advance, De Bruyne and Salah instigated behind, Chamberlain and Griezmann played two wing backs, Kanter and Henderson sat in the middle, and Emre Can, Agger and Manolas built a 3-back.

After Salah came to Liverpool, Klopp began to change the team's lineup in order to integrate Salah into the Liverpool lineup. This game is his attempt.

Liverpool took the lead in the 29th minute. Chamberlain passed the ball. Salah's shot from the edge of the penalty area was blocked. De Bruyne followed up with a shot from the arc of the penalty area and entered the bottom right corner of the net.

Liverpool expanded the score in the 51st minute, Henderson made a diagonal pass from the right, and Lewandowski headed into the lower left corner in front of the small penalty area.

In the end, Liverpool defeated Burnley [-]-[-], and in the same round, Chelsea also won, and the gap between the two teams still did not widen.

In the same round of the league, Chelsea beat West Ham United by one goal in the away game, and the two teams continued to maintain the score gap.

The FA Cup quarter-finals saw Liverpool host Blackburn at home.

Klopp still uses a substitute lineup to play in the local cup.

Before the game against Manchester City, Mignolet also returned from the main lineup to the substitute lineup and no longer started the game.

Although he performed well in the next few games of his first start, Liverpool also have to take care of the former main goalkeeper Keylor Navas.

However, given Mignolet's recent performance, maybe Klopp will still give Mignolet some opportunities.

Although they are all substitute lineups, there is still a difference between the substitute lineup and the substitute lineup.

In today's game, Liverpool's substitute lineup is even more substituent than the previous round of the league lineup. Many young players from the youth team participated in this game.

This is tantamount to saying that Liverpool intends to give up the FA Cup.

But this group of teenagers from the youth team were very active on the field.

Although their offense was not driven by professional players and they couldn't play very smoothly, their defense did not give their opponents too many opportunities.

As a result, Liverpool drew with Blackburn at their home court, and Liverpool had to play another game.

But not surprisingly, Liverpool's youth team players will play in that make-up match, which can be regarded as a reward for their good performance in this game.

After the sixth round, the teams that have been confirmed to advance to the semi-finals of the FA Cup are Arsenal and Aston Villa, two teams of the A-type.

And the FA Cup is really a "insulated cup".

The other Reading and Bradford City also entered a rematch.

However, since the two teams did not have any extra matches, the results of the two teams' matches came out a week later, and Reading entered the knockout round, so only the last place has not yet been determined.

……

The second round of the Champions League quarter-finals is coming, and Liverpool have played at home in the last few games, which makes Liverpool less travelling.

This game is also Liverpool's home game. Although the schedule is very tight, there is not much travel, so it can still survive.

Against Basel at home, although Liverpool had a lot of games before, it still didn't take too much effort to face Basel. Liverpool raised the rhythm of the game to the peak from the very beginning.

In the 14th minute, Liverpool at home scored the first goal!Liverpool won a free kick at the top of the box.

De Bruyne took the free kick and chose to hit the goal directly. The ball drew a beautiful arc and flew into the goal over the wall!Liverpool [-]-[-] Basel!
Basel, who was playing in the away game, wanted to work hard but always couldn't. The whole first half failed to cause any disturbance.

He wanted to break into Liverpool's penalty area, but was always blocked by Kanter and Henderson before the penalty area.

In the first half of the game, Liverpool only led [-]-[-] against Basel, but the second half of the game was different.

Shortly after the start of the second half, Liverpool expanded their lead!Griezmann broke through from the left and passed the ball to Lewandowski. Lewandowski made a curved ball from the front of the penalty area to the left.Liverpool [-]-[-] Basel!

After two to zero, Liverpool did not let Basel go.

In the 56th minute, Liverpool sealed the victory!Liverpool got an excellent free kick in front of the penalty area, but this time it was not De Bruyne who took the penalty, but Coutinho.

Like De Bruyne, Coutinho also chose to hit the goal directly, also with a curved kick, and the ball flew into the upper left corner of the goal!Liverpool [-]-[-] Basel!

Liverpool has already defeated Basel. If Basel wants to enter the next knockout round, they need to score three goals in a row in the next game.

This is almost impossible for them.

Although Liverpool defeated Basel, Basel will certainly not give up lightly.

They must be desperate to attack, regardless of their own defense.

Constantly attacking, the crazy Basel also suppressed Liverpool for a while. They didn't do this in the first half of the game, but they temporarily did it in the second half.

Although Basel suppressed Liverpool for a while, when they were dazzled by the blood, Liverpool slowly adapted to their own rhythm at home.

After Basel's offensive wave passed, Liverpool was still standing there, and after that, Liverpool did not choose to let go, chose to kill hard, and began to defeat Basel's defense time and time again.

With Liverpool securing the victory, they continued to sprinkle salt on Basel's wounds.

In the 76th minute, Liverpool scored another goal!Robertson kicked over the top from the wing just past the midfield. Lewandowski stopped the ball after successfully countering offside, then spiked the ball and changed direction to get rid of the defender who was back in place, followed by a tricky push. The ball was sent into the lower left corner of the goal.

Liverpool [-]-[-] Basel!
In the last few minutes, Liverpool replaced Salah, which can be regarded as giving Salah a lot of exercise.

In the end, Liverpool defeated Basel [-]-[-] in two rounds and entered the quarterfinals.
