Revive Liverpool

Chapter 71

Liverpool beat Birmingham [-]-[-], while Manchester City beat Blackburn Rovers [-]-[-] thanks to Dzeko's goal.

Liverpool continue to maintain their lead over Manchester City.

Pochettino praised Maxi Rodriguez in an interview after the game.

"Maxi Rodriguez's place in the team is not a direct replacement for Griezmann.

However, his goals in this game alone have reached the number of goals Griezmann has scored for Liverpool so far this season.

Maxi Rodriguez is a very smart player, but he is also a hard worker.

All the hard work on the training ground has paid off.

Maxi Rodriguez hasn't played for a while, but as soon as he debuted today, he handed in a satisfactory answer. "

A five-to-zero victory made the team's atmosphere more relaxed in the next training and preparations.

At 5:1 noon on May 11, England time, Liverpool's 35th round of the Premier League this season began.

Liverpool sits at Anfield at home and ushers in the challenge of the Magpies Newcastle United.

In this game, Liverpool's deputy Carragher is very likely to play, and this will be his 665th game on behalf of Liverpool.

It also makes Carragher the second-most-appeared player in Liverpool's history, tied with Clemens and Hughes.

Captain Gerrard, who had been in the team for recovery training before, finally returned from injury.

And Gerrard also returned from injury and the team's main full-back Glenn Johnson.

Both will start this game.

I don't know if they, who have been out of battle for a long time, can play well in today's game and lead the team to victory?

Liverpool's game lineup today is that the goalkeeper is Keylor Navas, and Flanagan and Glenn Johnson appear at the two full-back positions.

This pair of left and right full-backs, who had worked together for a period of time in the early days of Pochettino's coaching, once again appeared at the same time today.

David Luiz and Carragher appear at centre-back.

The main central defender Skrtel, who has been serving as the team's starter, is taking a rest today.

After experiencing the defender crisis during the previous period, Pochettino also decided to give these main players a rest.

In order to prevent them from being injured, especially at the same time.

In the midfield, Gerrard and Kanter partnered in the middle, and Meireles and Maxi Rodriguez, who completed a hat-trick in the last game, appeared on the two wings.

On the front line is the partner of Dirk, Suarez and Dirk.

As for Newcastle United, although the team's big-name star Carroll did not transfer to Liverpool during the winter transfer period like the original time and space.

But for Newcastle United, it is a pity that Carroll was unable to participate in this league game against Liverpool due to his own injury.

Of course this is good news for Liverpool.

The injured player of his own family can recover from injury and return to participate in the game, but the opponent's big-name player is unable to participate in the game due to injury.

With this in and out, Liverpool's home game against the Magpies Newcastle United seems to have a good chance of winning.

The game started.

The two sides tested each other, and Liverpool's first shot appeared in the 7th minute.

Glenn Johnson, who had just come back, made a pass from the left. The Newcastle United defender headed the ball not far away. Meirelles followed up with a shot and the ball missed the left side of the goal.

But the ball did not go out of bounds, but was caught by Suarez who rushed to the bottom line.

Then Gerrard took Suarez back to make the ball and followed up with a left-footed shot, which was blocked by the defender.

In the 10th minute, Liverpool played smoothly on the right side, Flanagan made a pass from the right side, and Williams made a header to make a clearance.

Maxi Rodriguez chose to volley directly in front of the penalty area. He played well in the last game, and he is also full of confidence in today's game.

The ball hit Simpson's outstretched arm and was refracted. Krul made a save and Liverpool took the lead [-]-[-].

In the 23rd minute, Gerrard made a strong shot from outside the penalty area and caused Kruel to save and miss, but then Kruel hugged the ball.

Didn't give Maxi Rodriguez a chance to shoot like he did when Liverpool played Birmingham last game.

In the 24th minute, just 1 minute later, Newcastle United also responded to Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard's shot from outside the penalty area.

Newcastle United striker Ameobi also chose to shoot from the outside, but the shot was not powerful and the ball was directly confiscated by Navas.

In the 35th minute, Newcastle United got a corner kick and Button took a right corner kick.

Without Carroll, Newcastle United's corner threat is directly lowered by a notch.

Nolan followed up with a shot in front of the penalty area on the right side, and the ball missed the near post.

In the 39th minute, Enrique of Newcastle United took a free kick on the right, and then the ball was blocked by Liverpool's human wall.

Liverpool, which led by one goal, performed unsatisfactorily in the first half and the second half. It was once suppressed by Newcastle United and could not get a chance to shoot for half a day.

At half-time, Liverpool led Newcastle United [-]-[-] with a goal from Maxi Rodriguez.

In the 59th minute, Liverpool sent the ball to the left with a long pass. Originally, Williamson thought he had occupied the position and wanted to protect the ball from the bottom line.

But he never thought of Suarez's persistence behind him.

The Uruguayan striker kept pressing Williamson, then suddenly rose to intercept the ball just as the ball was about to pass the baseline.

Suarez, who broke the ball, wiped Williams, and Williamson tripped him helplessly.

Suarez won a penalty kick for Liverpool, Gerrard took the penalty, he calmly scored the ball into the lower left corner of the goal, Liverpool [-]-[-], expanding the score.

In the 65th minute, Suarez wanted to pass the ball to his teammate Maxi Rodriguez in front of the penalty area, and then pulled himself to the left to create space for his teammates.

However, although the outgoing ball was hit by opposing defender Clocini in other directions, it bounced right to the feet of Dirk.

The Dutchman saw Suarez who was running, and passed the ball lightly to Suarez who was on the left rib.

The Uruguayan teenager easily pushed and scored without any defense. Liverpool [-]-[-] and almost sealed the victory.

Suarez, who was actively and tirelessly running, finally scored a goal.

Pochettino praised him after the game, "He will always be where he should appear, always a threat to the opponent's goal.

He kept working hard until he scored the ball into the opponent's goal.

Always running in and out of the box, the goal is the reward for his hard work. "

"Sky Sports" named Suarez the best player of the game.

And commented, "Suarez showed why he can become the darling of Anfield fans so quickly, scoring Liverpool's third goal in this game beautifully."
