Chapter 745 Winning the Championship Early
Premier League No.30 three rounds, Liverpool vs. Arsenal.
This is the first game after the big reversal of Chelsea in the Champions League. Benitez rotated the game lineup, including Yang Yang and Gerrard on the bench, and Gareth Bale and Benayoun got the starting lineup.
After the start of the game, Liverpool still had the advantage on the scene, but Arsenal defended very steadily.
Until the beginning of the second half, at No.409 minutes, Sagna made a mistake, Dirk Didier made two consecutive crosses from the right, and Crouch headed the goal from the restricted area, opening the scoring for Liverpool.
Seven minutes later, after Dirk again stole the ball from Gibbs, he made a cross from the right side of the penalty area. Benayoun inserted at high speed and scored with a header from close range, extending the score to 7-[-].
Although in the final stage of the game, Arsenal once played a counterattack and pulled back a goal, but in the end Liverpool was still at home, beating the Gunners [-]-[-] and scoring three points again.
…………
…………
The FA Cup semi-final, Liverpool once again a guest at Old Trafford.
Manchester United has basically no hope of winning the Premier League, because if Liverpool beat Hull City in an away game in the next round, the Red Army will win the championship four rounds ahead of schedule, and the possibility of Manchester United's reversal is extremely slim.
In this case, Ferguson concentrated all his forces and focused on the FA Cup and Champions League games.
Benitez also focused on the cup game, and the main players such as Yang Yang and Gerrard all started in this game.
Manchester United has learned from the previous experience and lessons, even at their own home court, they still adopt a defensive position. On the right back, O'Shea and Brown failed to start, but arranged for Brazilian teenager Rafael.
This young Brazilian teenager is the focus of training on the right side of Manchester United this season. He has represented Manchester United in league and cup matches many times, but the most important game he has played so far is Manchester United's away game against Manchester City.
That time was also because O'Shea and Brown were injured, and he got the chance.
But tonight was obviously different.
Because, this time he is facing the wolf-like Liverpool and the No.1 player in world football, Yang Yang.
In the opening stage of the game, Manchester United focused on defense, supported by Fletcher in the midfield, and Raphael was also trembling, not daring to be careless, but he didn't give Yang Yang a good chance, which was not lost.
But gradually, as the game progressed, especially when Yang Yang and Liverpool gradually stabilized their rhythm and entered the game state, the pressure on Rafael became more and more intense.
Especially when the game progressed to No.20 and two minutes, Liverpool quickly launched an attack to the right side of the front field. After Dirk Evra pushed the ball down, he dribbled the ball inside and passed it to Crouch.
The England high man dribbled the ball back and passed it to Gerrard who jumped in from behind.
During this process, Yang Yang quietly and suddenly from the left side of the front of the penalty area, quickly slanted behind Ferdinand and Vidic. The speed was very fast and quite determined. When Rafael reacted and caught up, he had already rushed into the penalty area, and Gerrard's through ball also accurately passed behind Vidic and Evra.
……
"Yang Yang thrusts behind him obliquely... catches the ball... kicks directly!"
"The ball went in!!!!!!"
"Wow, No. 20 two minutes, Yang Yang opened the scoring for Liverpool!"
"He looked very relaxed, and the goal was really not difficult. It mainly relied on the cooperation of his teammates, but Manchester United's defense was continuously pulled out of the gap."
"The teenager Raphael obviously didn't keep up with Yang Yang, he looked very annoyed."
"But here, I want to say to Raphael, boy, don't be depressed. There are not many defenders in this world who can defend Yang Yang. At least you did a good job in the first twenty minutes, didn't you?"
……
Yang Yang's goal came easily, but in fact it was not sudden.
In the first 20 minutes or so, Liverpool basically controlled the situation. Manchester United was obviously under the shadow of the previous disastrous defeat, and never dared to aggressively attack Liverpool.
Obviously, Ferguson knew very well that Benitez was eager for them to press out and fight.
In the case of Cristiano Ronaldo's unsatisfactory performance this season, Manchester United lost a counterattack weapon, and their offensive strength was also greatly affected. Naturally, they dare not make too much of it.
It was not until Yang Yang scored a goal that Manchester United began to show signs of aggressiveness and made several threatening attacks, but Reina's state tonight was very stable, and he never gave Manchester United a chance to score.
The two sides remained deadlocked until the No. 408 minute of the second half. Yang Yang made continuous threats at the beginning of the game, and in a one-on-one situation with the ball from the left, he forcibly broke through Raphael, and made a pass from the bottom line to the middle of the penalty area.
Crouch headed the ball forward and Gerrard followed up with a close-range header to score another goal for Liverpool, [-]-[-].
After that, Manchester United's offense was more active, and in the No.708 minute, Carlos Tevez pulled a game back, but in the end they lost to Liverpool [-]-[-] at home and were eliminated.
With the goals of Yang Yang and Gerrard, Liverpool defeated Manchester United [-]-[-] and successfully advanced to the FA Cup final.
……
Chelsea take on Arsenal in another FA Cup clash at London's Wembley Stadium.
In the No.18 minute, the Gunners scored a goal with Walcott assisted by Gibbs.
But in the No.303 minute, Lampard assisted Malouda to equalize the score.
Then the two teams fell into a stalemate, until the No.804 minute, Lampard once again assisted Drogba to score a key goal.
In the end, Chelsea narrowly beat Arsenal [-]-[-] and joined Liverpool in the FA Cup final.
…………
…………
On the afternoon of April 25th, Kingston Communications Stadium, Hull City, Yorkshire, England.
In the No.30 round of the Premier League, Hull City played against Liverpool at home.
When the referee Martin Atkinson blew the whistle for the end of the game, Liverpool's substitute players who had been waiting on the sidelines could not wait to rush into the field, cheering and celebrating wildly all the way.
The Liverpool fans who followed the team to the away game were equally excited. They sang Liverpool's team anthem throughout the game, and when the whistle sounded, they sang another song at the beginning.
we are the champion!
The scoreboard at the Kingston Communication Stadium showed the final score of the two teams at this moment, one to three.
Although Manchester United conceded two goals at home first, scored five goals in a row in the second half, and finally reversed Tottenham Hotspur [-]-[-], but this still could not stop Liverpool from winning the Premier League this season four rounds ahead of schedule!
……
In fact, this game was not easy at all.
Hull City is currently ranked No.17 in the Premier League, only three points away from No.18 Middlesbrough in the relegation zone. This team is desperately trying to avoid relegation.
No matter who this kind of team is, they will feel very headache when they encounter it.
Due to the FA Cup, Yang Yang rested again and sat on the bench. Throughout the first half, Liverpool failed to create a truly threatening offensive. Instead, Hull City played a sharp counterattack.
Until the minute of the first half, midfielder George Boateng fouled Mascherano and was given a yellow card, giving Liverpool a free kick in the frontcourt. Xavi Alonso hit the goal directly with a free kick, but it bounced back from the wall.
However, after changing sides and fighting again in the second half, Liverpool still failed to expand the score and could not create an effective offensive. On the contrary, in the No. 603 minute, they were pulled back by the Hull City team and equalized the score again.
Finally, at No. 605 minutes, Yang Yang came on as a substitute.
No.703 minutes, Benayoun made a pass from the right, Yang Yang was unguarded and scored with a header from the edge of the penalty area.
In the No. 809 minute, Arbeloa broke into the penalty area from the right and kicked the goal, but was saved by Hull City goalkeeper Myhill.
Judging from the score, [-] to [-] seems easy, but the process is very thrilling.
Liverpool itself did not perform particularly well, because the team fought continuously on multiple fronts and the coaching staff rotated, which resulted in the team not being in the best condition. On the other hand, the Hull City team was united and tried their best to avoid relegation.
It is not difficult to understand why Liverpool are in a mess.
But in any case, Liverpool can also temporarily breathe a sigh of relief when they can defeat their opponents [-]-[-] without any risk and win the championship four rounds ahead of schedule.
Next, the team will devote itself to the FA Cup final and the Champions League.
……
When Liverpool's players threw Benitez high in front of the away coach's bench, the singing of Liverpool fans was still floating in the audience.
According to the practice of the Premier League, although Liverpool won the championship four rounds ahead of schedule, the championship trophy still has to be reserved for the last round, which is the No.
This is the second Premier League championship trophy in Liverpool's history, and the successful defense of the Premier League title is like a dream for Liverpool fans. They can't believe it anyway, especially seeing that the team has shown such an amazing momentum this season.
Win the League Cup, win the league, and then there will be the FA Cup and the Champions League!
Everyone was obviously not satisfied, especially the players on the court, who celebrated very restrainedly, not only because this was an away game, but more importantly, they were still looking forward to the next two major cup matches.
Chelsea in the FA Cup final, it's going to be a tough fight.
Although the Blues were beaten [-]-[-] by Liverpool at Stamford Bridge, Guus Hiddink's team will definitely be very difficult.
There are also Champions League semi-final opponents Manchester United, and even future final opponents.
Liverpool's momentum this season has been unprecedented, as have the expectations and goals within and outside the team.
Everyone clearly knows that winning the league championship is just the beginning.
Now is far from the time to get carried away and celebrate, and more difficult challenges are waiting ahead.
