Liverpool, Anfield Stadium.

The lights are brilliant and the momentum is fluctuating.

Liverpool and Basel's second round of the Champions League quarter-finals kicked off as scheduled.

Liverpool did conduct large-scale rotations, from Sancho on the front line to Madison and Gondozi in the midfield, to Guerrero and Azpilicueta on the back line, Liverpool's rotation has actually made Reds fans particularly excited.

They never stopped chanting Azpilicueta's name in the stands!

This is Azpilicueta's first appearance after returning from injury after breaking his leg, even though he had already trained with the team a month ago.

For fans and spectators all over the world, they just saw Azpilicueta's return to the field, but they didn't know how many reserve team games Azpilicueta played behind him. He almost started again until he was recognized by the coaching staff and believed that he was suitable for playing in the first team game, and Situ Yunbing sent him on the battlefield!

He fell on the Champions League field, and now he is back on the Champions League stage!

Wherever you fall, stand up!

And today Azpilicueta wore the captain's armband!

He definitely has this qualification!

Nowadays, the only players in the team who can be older than him are Gareth Bale, Henderson and Casemiro.

Basel performed very positively after the game started. They obviously came to Anfield with the determination and fighting spirit to win the game.

This would not bother Situ Yunbing.

He likes impactful opponents, and if the opponent is a pool of mud, the game will be worthless.

Basel's expectations for Liverpool's starting lineup were not disappointed. Situ Yunbing did not tease them the lies to tease them, but Basel did not expect to fall into hell at Anfield Stadium!

Whenever Azpilicueta touches the ball, Reds fans will burst into cheers like tsunamis!

The man helped Liverpool win four Champions League titles and four league titles. Without counting other titles, the first two are enough to push Azpilicueta into Liverpool's legendary lineup.

Outsiders may now think that Azpilicueta can never go back to his former state of full impact and tenacious courage, and it is undeniable that this is simply measuring his current value from a competitive perspective.

But at Liverpool, even if you are not a Reds fan, if you ask Everton fans what Azpilicueta means to Liverpool, they will give an absolutely unimaginable answer.

On the day when Azpilicueta, Kante and Van Dijk joined Liverpool, the Reds went from top to top in the Premier League to top in Europe!

This is the value of Azpilicueta, and his position in the hearts of Red Army fans after making great achievements over the years of battles and battles.

There is only one person in the first echelon, named Situ Yunbing.

There are many second tiers, Gareth Bale, Van Dijk, Kante, Casemiro, Azpilicueta, Ter Stegen, Erikson...

They are symbols of an era and representatives of glory. They retire tomorrow, and will become famous the day after tomorrow, and will become legends the day after tomorrow.

The terrifying cheering momentum created by the Reds at home will promote the better performance of the home team players and will also bring pressure to the away team beyond expectations.

Basel is active in offense and defense but does not have much substantial threat. Although the midfield composed of Gondoc, Henderson and Madison is average in strength, it uses nearly engineer sweeping space to cover the space to protect the defense line well.

On the offensive end, Sancho and Sane received relatively little backcourt support, which depends entirely on the coordination between personal performance and the front line. Griezmann's performance is relatively critical. He acts as the team's fulcrum and frequently shoots the ball to divert the offense, which allows Liverpool's offense to threaten, but the opportunity to score depends on the ability to grasp the opportunity.

Liverpool almost crushed his opponent at Basel's home court, which allowed the outside world to see the huge gap in strength between the two teams.

Back at Anfield, Liverpool took the initiative to downgrade its strength, but today it was a bit difficult to tell.

Although the threats of the two teams are lower, they still have a wonderful shot occasionally.

The goalkeepers of both teams performed well today and exchanged blank sheets in the first half.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Anfield Stadium maintained a terrifying home atmosphere. When the 71st minute of the game, Sane pretended to break through on the left side of the frontcourt and deceived the opponent's defensive center of gravity. Instead, he cut across and created a threat in the front area. Basel's defense showed a flaw. Sane sent a straight pass. Griezmann responded in the penalty area and turned around and shot in the far corner of the goal!

Liverpool broke the deadlock at home to gain a 1-0 lead.

This goal is highly likely to ensure that Liverpool will not lose at home, and Situ Yunbing is also satisfied.

For the remaining 20 minutes of game time, Liverpool and Basel still maintained a fast pace, but the attention of the two teams to defense has increased significantly.

In the end, Basel failed to equalize the score, and Liverpool did not expand its lead anymore, and the score of 1:0 remained until the end of the game.

Azpilicueta played the whole game, and after the game he took the initiative to round the court and applauded the Reds fans in the stands.

Today, as long as he touched the ball, the home team fans cheered for him, which made Azpilicueta's eyes flushed after the game.

After a year, he returned to the first team. The fans not only did not forget him, but also gave him great support and encouragement!

After the game, Azpilicueta was also moved in an interview: "It is not easy to get out of the shadow of injuries, but seeing so many fans supporting me is extremely touching. They are the best fans in the world and one of the reasons why my teammates and I become stronger and brave and fearless.

I got everything here, but I still want to fight for the club, for this team, for the fans here until the day when I can't run!"

Situ Yunbing also talked about Azpilicueta's return in a post-match interview.

"We will not rashly arrange a player who has experienced serious injuries onto the roster. That is an irresponsible performance. Fighting for victory is our goal, but there are prerequisites. First of all, we must be responsible for the health of the players and their competitive careers!

Azpilicueta's return has inspired everyone, including every player, fans, and me!

I once said that Liverpool is not afraid of pain. Even if we have bleeding, the scar will eventually become a hard part of us!

Many people think I'm talking big.

But my players have proved with practical actions that our success is not only because of our strong strength on paper, but also because the team's spiritual attributes are the strongest!

If we want to send positive signals to the outside world through football, I think Azpilicueta has done this very well. He is a brave fighter, not only fighting against opponents on the court, but also never surrenders to injuries and surrenders!

This inspires each of us.

Some people will definitely say that this injury will cause Azpilicueta's competitive strength to decline. I will not deny this, but from the perspective of life, I think Azpilicueta will become stronger!

He proved that he is stronger than too many people, because many people will become fragile, decadent, and give up on themselves under the influence of injuries.

But Azpilicueta is the best model for all those who face difficulties, difficulties and are hit hard!”

Situ Yunbing's words came from the heart.

If he does not have the experience of coaching in these ten years, as an ordinary person, if he encounters a major blow, he is likely to be in a slump.

Just as he just encountered setbacks when he was coaching, he wanted to retreat and withdraw, no matter the world was flooded, it didn't matter even if he destroyed himself.

Perhaps Azpilicueta earns millions of pounds a year as a professional player, and in the eyes of many, this will not have much impact on his life at all.

If Azpilicueta is a deserter and does not play football after recovering from injury, his story will indeed stop: he retired due to injury.

But he worked hard, strong and bravely, just to return to the field again, which had nothing to do with his material life.

Football is the only dream of these players outside of life.

Situ Yunbing believes that many fans who love Liverpool and those who support Azpilicueta will be greatly inspired.

Liverpool eliminated Basel 5:0 in total score and advanced to the Champions League quarterfinals with his head held high!

One day later, the other UEFA Champions League 1/8 finals ended!

Five Premier League teams reached the top 16 in the Champions League, but in the 1/8 final, three Premier League teams were eliminated!

All media in Fleet Street are blasting these three Premier League teams that have been eliminated!

It just so happens that they are all the current 4th Group in the Premier League!

There is nothing unexpected about Chelsea being eliminated by Barcelona.

Manchester United was eliminated by Sevilla at home and was criticized by thousands of people!

In the good situation of Tottenham tied Juventus 2:2 away in the first leg, he was defeated by Juventus in White Hart Lane!

Only Liverpool and Arsenal advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League!

The numerical advantage of the Premier League is not very meaningful after all. The Champions League is a stage to test hard strength!

Perhaps the three teams in the fourth group are indeed eliminated from the Champions League due to the huge pressure in the league, but in the view of Fleet Street, Liverpool and Arsenal are under greater pressure!

Of course, Arsenal had already removed some pressure from the league before the knockout round in the second leg.

But Klopp's performance this year has been unanimously recognized. At least he has excellent record in the league and has advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, which is enough to give fans some explanation.

On Thursday night, the results of the Champions League quarter-finals were released.

Liverpool's opponent is the French Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain.

Arsenal's opponent is Sevilla, who eliminated Manchester United in the last round.

Fleet Street believes this matchup is good for both Liverpool and Arsenal.

Paris Saint-Germain does have a luxurious lineup, but compared with Liverpool, it may not have an advantage in hard power, and the experience is far different!

As for Sevilla's desire to pass Arsenal, I'm afraid Klopp will not agree!
Chapter completed!
