Revive Liverpool

Chapter 323

Unlike Liverpool who continued to attack in the second half, Real Madrid kept defending. Like the first half of the game, they did not make any adjustments.

After Liverpool scored the first goal in the second half, although Liverpool's offensive was still fierce, Liverpool did not score again.

In the end, the game ended with Liverpool beating Real Madrid [-]-[-] at home.

Such a result is acceptable to both sides of the game.

Liverpool defeated Real Madrid. Although Real Madrid lost, they scored another away goal.

The suspense is still great, stronger than the contest between Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

……

After the Champions League, Liverpool will be in full swing preparing for the weekend's championship battle.

Liverpool will travel to Stamford Bridge to challenge Chelsea.

The outcome of this game is very important for Liverpool.

Liverpool's league dream this season is pinned on this game.

The gap of 2 points is not too big, as long as Chelsea has a draw and Liverpool keeps winning, Liverpool can catch up.

But it is not small, now that the league is coming to an end, there are fewer and fewer opportunities for Chelsea to overturn by themselves.

The importance of this chance for the two teams to face Liverpool is self-evident.

If Liverpool loses this game, then unless Chelsea loses all of the next two rounds, Liverpool will have no chance to win the championship.

Today's London is sunny and the fiery sun hangs in the sky, just like the atmosphere at Stamford Bridge today.

Before the game, Mourinho and Klopp did not have any harsh words.

Because this kind of ruthless confrontation has not stopped since Chelsea and Klopp competed for the championship this season.

The duel between these two world-class managers has always been a spectacle in the Premier League.

But this time when the two teams met, the two head coaches calmed down.

Klopp joked in an interview with the media before the game: "I respect Mourinho's work very much. He is a good person. The relationship between us is very good. I think as long as you are not a reporter or a referee, then Mourinho is a good person for you. I am not one of them, so we have a good relationship."

At the beginning of the game, Liverpool, who were playing away, did not attack rashly, but started to defend first.

Under the training of Mourinho, Chelsea, who are playing at home, prefer to play defensive counterattacks instead of controlling the ball by themselves.

So Chelsea don't want to have the ball all the time.

I have been pressing in the midfield and not pursuing to break into Liverpool's penalty area, waiting for Liverpool to come up and grab, showing flaws.

Although Chelsea's adoption of such a tactic at home is somewhat negative, it is not unreasonable.

Chelsea are now leading the championship, so if this game is a draw, it is completely acceptable to them.

Therefore, when Liverpool also decided to defend, the two sides played very steadily at the beginning of the game.

In this game, not only Mourinho could hold his breath, but Klopp could also hold his breath.

In the first 10 minutes of the game, neither side had a shot.

It wasn't until the 11th minute that Chelsea's Cesc Fabregas tried a long shot in the middle of the front court to open the door for the game to shoot.

And Chelsea's shot seems to indicate that Chelsea is still impatient and wants to attack in today's game.

The first goal of the game was scored by Liverpool.

Liverpool rewritten the score in the 44th minute. Ivanovic was given a yellow card for fouling Lallana near the baseline. Henderson passed a free kick to the far point. The unguarded Gerrard scored with a header from close range, [-]-[-].

Gerrard surpassed Irving with 119 Premier League goals, second only to Fowler (128 goals), the team's Premier League scoring record holder.

Then at the end of the first half, Liverpool led Chelsea [-]-[-] away.

In the first half of the game, due to the two puts that put too much attention on defense, the entire first half of the game was very dull. Even if there was one goal, it was only a little bit of sparkle.

Other than that, it's a bit of a boring picture, with players passing the ball back and forth in midfield, rarely coming to the penalty areas of both sides.

The second half of the game lasted 10 minutes, and the scene was not much different from the first half, which was unusually flat.

Chelsea has not yet chosen to launch a counterattack. Mourinho's choice is really beyond Klopp's expectations.

However, Klopp did not change his tactics because of this, and still chose to defend.

As time passed, the Chelsea fans in the Stamford Bridge stands couldn't help it, shouting for Chelsea to step up their attack.

Mourinho did not respond to the appeal of the fans, but Chelsea's players on the field were a little shaken.

They began to be slightly inclined to attack, but Liverpool's tactical execution in this game was very resolute and they have been defending.

It was not until the last 10 minutes of the game that Mourinho directed the team to attack aggressively.

Liverpool's front door became "terrible".

Chelsea's offense beat Liverpool's goal again and again like a tide.

The Liverpool players held on tenaciously.

When the whistle sounded for the end of the game, the score was fixed at one to zero.

Liverpool successfully surpassed Chelsea and came to the first position in the league.

And Chelsea's performance in this game also made Chelsea fans doubt Mourinho, thinking that he may no longer be suitable to stay at Chelsea.

Chelsea is obviously behind in this game. Why didn't Mourinho choose to strengthen the offense early, but refused to let go with his defensive counterattack?

This allowed them to transfer the anger of losing to Mourinho.

After this game, Liverpool surpassed Chelsea by one point and temporarily sat at the top of the league table, giving them a chance to compete for the championship.

……

Before the start of the next two rounds of the league, Liverpool still have a Champions League game to play.

Liverpool also played with all the main players in this game.

Before Klopp made this decision, what lineup should Liverpool play in this Champions League game made Liverpool fans a little entangled.

Liverpool is now leading the league with great difficulty, and the Champions League is not completely without a chance to advance.

Both events Liverpool do not want to give up.

But now all the competitions have reached the most critical time, and they can't lose the chain.

Their greed told them: "I want both trophies!"

And their rationality told them: "Give up one of them! Focus on one event, and we have a better chance of winning the championship."

And now Klopp has made the choice instead of them.

What choice do adults have!I want it all!

And when Klopp made such a choice, Liverpool fans no longer struggled.

Why not have them all?
