515 Red and Blue Battle!
There are 6 rounds left in the league, leading Manchester United in the standings by 8 points!
Manchester United's home defeat at Manchester City has caused Liverpool to relieve a lot of tension.
This has the same effect not only on the main lineup, but also on substitutes who are determined to win opportunities.
Because if they are under tremendous pressure to play, they will easily bring negative effects without sufficient experience.
Liverpool went to Lisbon to challenge Benfica, and the entire Liverpool team showed a very high competitive level.
Although Benfica showed a rather dead momentum at home than turning the table, Liverpool beat Sporting Lisbon to a slump away through strict defense and sharp counterattack!
Coutinho continuously instigated threatening offensives, Stirling rushed forward with a strong spirit of trampling on the battalion, while Vardy showed his killer's true nature!
Benfica fans are incredible!
They lost 2:4 at home at the foot of Liverpool's substitute!
It seems that Liverpool, whose strength has declined a lot, played a game that shocked European football!
The outstanding performance of young players really makes people have to admire this team of Liverpool.
After the game, Situ Yunbing said to reporters with pride: "I think I can repeat Shankley's famous saying now. The best team in the world is Liverpool, and the second team behind Liverpool is Liverpool's second team!"
This is an excellent compliment to the team's performance today. Situ Yunbing is also exhausted and doesn't know how to praise them.
Although it is obviously a bit exaggerated, Liverpool's substitute lineup stepped on Benfica's body to enter the Europa League semi-finals!
At this stage, Liverpool is very close to the champions on both fronts, and the finish line is close!
Back in the league, Liverpool challenged Reading as a guest. Liverpool, who played the main players in the entire army, was also amazing in the away game!
Suarez, Garez Bale, Mahrez and Gerrard's four players made quick passes and cuts in the frontcourt were dazzling, and the threat brought by Eriksen and Casemiro from time to time also made Reading unable to sleep or eat.
This game caused almost no turmoil, and the trend was very stable. Liverpool firmly grasped the initiative away game, and continued to attack and achieved results. Gareth Bale scored a goal in the penalty area and scored for Liverpool's first record.
Suarez's performance was followed. He headed the ball in the counter offside and scored, and volleyed from Johnson's cross in front of the penalty area!
Mahrez added icing on the cake with a supplemental shot!
Liverpool beat Reading 4-0 away and scored 3 points!
Situ Yunbing left Reading's home court with great pride, and it's up to Manchester United!
Manchester United challenged Stoke City this round, and Ferguson's team also showed their desire for the championship and perseverance. Although the team was not in the best condition, they still beat Reading 2:0 away!
Liverpool, 84 points.
Manchester United, 76 points.
With five rounds left in the league, Manchester United's chances are becoming increasingly slim!
Finally, there was no war in the middle of the week, and Situ Yunbing also gave the team an extra day off to let them make good adjustments.
Situ Yunbing still worked hard in the middle of the week, studying the information about the opponents in the final sprint stage, and then assigned tasks to Alonzo to follow and observe, ensuring that Liverpool cannot lag in information when facing these opponents.
Liverpool will face the Blues Chelsea at Anfield on the weekend.
Chelsea started high and closed low this season, once heading with Liverpool to lead the standings, but failed to persevere until Christmas, so Rodgers was dismissed. The team also had the embarrassment of not winning for more than a month. Chelsea, who had lost the capital to compete for the championship early, is now striving to maintain the top four positions under the leadership of Benitez.
This time the encounter between the two teams will be Liverpool's final test in the league!
After playing against Chelsea, the opponents in the later schedule have no other strong opponents except their arch-rival Everton.
At the pre-match press conference, the reporters were still asking him what he thought of Benitez. Situ Yunbing shook his head and said, "I have answered this question a few months ago and I will not make any comments."
This is a showdown between Liverpool and Chelsea, not an opportunity to provoke the coach to expose the news. If you are just focusing on personal grudges, then I am very disappointed with you."
The topic finally returned to the game itself. The reporters were very interested in Liverpool's current strong military and Situ Yunbing's standards for selecting players.
In fact, the subtext is to expect Situ Yunbing to give Sterling, the English Emperor Star in their eyes, the absolute main position.
Situ Yunbing said lightly: "The opponents in each game have different styles, different tactics, different strengths of players in each position, and different states of players in our team are also different.
I will not set an absolute standard for myself to choose players. I will make judgments based on the actual situation and make a list after weighing the trade-offs.
Of course, this premise is that I can see the efforts of the players and I will not ignore their efforts. In some clubs, even if players work hard, they will not get a chance to play. I think this situation will not happen in Liverpool.
This season, our schedule and task are heavy, and we have played 16 games in the Europa League alone!
There are two Europa League games next!
Including the League Cup and League, we will eventually play more than 60 games this season!
So I think the opportunity I allocated to the players is reasonable. Even a player like Vardy who was in the low-level league last season has played more than 30 games this season!
This is Liverpool, not Reading!”
Situ Yunbing talked about his outlook on the game.
"Chelsea is now struggling to qualify for the first four Champions League. Their fighting spirit will not be weaker than us. At the same time, they have performed well in recent times. I think the confrontation at Anfield Stadium will be a wonderful and fierce confrontation!"
Benitez's team does perform well, at least they are the most promising mid- and upper-level teams in the top four.
Benitez made little comments about Liverpool before the game.
He understood it clearly.
Even if he was worried about Chelsea, he had no future at Stamford Bridge. To this day, fans will still protest against him, and it is a big scale.
Fleet Street predicts that Benitez will be dismissed after the season is over, no matter whether he can lead the team to the top four league rankings.
So in this context, Benitez doesn't have to make trouble for Liverpool, making himself unpleasant.
On April 20, Liverpool was sunny and Anfield was packed. The battle between Liverpool and Chelsea came as scheduled.
There were many Liverpool celebrities and celebrities in English football appeared in the stands.
This may be the most critical battle on Liverpool’s road to winning the Premier League championship!
It will inevitably be the focus of everyone!
Once Liverpool wins this round, it will be only a matter of time before Liverpool wins the championship.
The advantage of leading Manchester United is no longer very significant, because no one thinks Liverpool will have a bloody crash in the last four league rounds!
There was noisy before the game in Anfield, and Liverpool fans were seen waving flags and holding scarves everywhere in the stands!
Situ Yunbing was waiting for Benitez on the sidelines. When the other party arrived, he took the initiative to move forward and shake hands with the other party. The friendship of the landlord was also an alternation of the times.
Neither the return of Hodgson or Darglish cannot be strictly defined as having an era in Liverpool, after all, Liverpool is at a low point.
Situ Yunbing is now leading Liverpool to fulfill Benitez's unfinished dream. Liverpool fans have been looking forward to for 20 years!
After friendly greetings with Benitez, Situ Yunbing came to the coaching command area of the home team. The fans could clearly hear the crazy cheers of him at the scene!
Benitez is actually a little embarrassed. As the former Liverpool coach, returning to Anfield, there is no fan here holding a slogan that welcomes him back.
Maybe if he is not coaching Chelsea, then there will be fans who will show him the welcome.
But when I came back wearing a blue robe, I'm sorry, Liverpool fans can't be so generous.
Now Situ Yunbing is fanatical to support fans in Anfield!
This is what Benitez envies.
When he coached Liverpool, he could only feel the crazy fans when he celebrated after winning the Champions League!
In the league, never happened!
This is actually easy to understand. After all, Situ Yunbing cleaned up the mess and re-created Liverpool's glory after cleaning up the mess!
When the starters of the two teams entered the court, it was obvious that the Liverpool generals came to the battlefield with extremely surging fighting spirit!
"Good afternoon, everyone, everyone, welcome to the 34th round of the Premier League, a focus battle staged at Anfield Stadium!
This is a red and blue battle, with the Reds Liverpool playing against the Blues Chelsea at home!
Liverpool ranks first in the standings, and they have been leading the way for 8 months and are very close to the championship!
Chelsea have never been back since falling out of the championship ranks last November, and now they are fighting for the top four.
This is a game where neither team can be missed. Liverpool hopes to secure the league championship early to end the suspense. If Chelsea loses this game, they may fall out of the top four!
Now let's take a look at the starting lineup of the two teams.
