Chapter 344: It’s your own fault and you won’t survive

The 35th round of the 2017-2018 Premier League season ended. The mainstream media in Europe were destined to be crazy. Liverpool had 32 wins, 2 draws and 98 points with one game less, breaking the 95 set by Mourinho when he coached Chelsea in the 2004-2005 season. League championship record.

Liverpool still has the last four league games and is very likely to become the fourth team with over 100 league points after Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus. It may even have the opportunity to surpass the league created by Juventus in the 2013-2014 season. A record of 102 points in the five major European leagues.

Because Liverpool's remaining four league opponents are only slightly stronger than Chelsea, Stoke City, Watford and Brighton are all relatively easy teams to deal with.

Of the four teams, except for Stoke City who are under relegation pressure, Brighton and Watford have all successfully landed, which means they will not cause too much trouble for Liverpool to set a record.

With just two wins, Liverpool can break the points record set by Juventus in Europe's top five leagues.

Media fans from China have focused their attention on Li Qing, the biggest hero. Liverpool's ability to set two records in the Premier League is directly related to the Chinese player Li Qing.

He has contributed 68 goals and 26 assists in Liverpool's past 34 league games!

One person contributed 94 goals in 34 league games!

How many goals did Liverpool score in total in 34 league games?

117 goals!

In other words, Li Qing contributed 80.3% of the goals.

Without Li Qing, it is certainly unrealistic for Liverpool to score 24 fewer goals in a season. It can only be said that the 94 goals contributed by Li Qing are halved, which is 47 goals, plus other 24 goals that have nothing to do with Li Qing, that is 71 goals, 7 goals less than last season's total.

The most intuitive comparison is that Manchester City, the second-placed player in the league, has only scored 98 goals in 35 league rounds so far. This means that Li Qing's personal contribution can be comparable to the entire Manchester City team.

In addition, perhaps half of the 24 goals that have nothing to do with Li Qing are indirectly related to Li Qing.

Why?

Many of Liverpool's attacks rely on Li Qing's long passes to gain offensive space, but there are no special statistics for planning attacks and indirect assists. Otherwise... Li Qing's direct contribution rate will be higher!

The media from Catalonia, Spain, are very lucky. If Li Qing was not suspended in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, then... Barcelona would have a very difficult time advancing to the Champions League final this season.

Liverpool, who have created the longest unbeaten season in the Premier League, have not been affected by media reports. In other words, there is still a vital FA Cup semi-final ahead of them. However, considering that the Champions League semi-finals are just after the FA Cup semi-finals, Four days means that there is not much time left for Liverpool to prepare for the home game against Barcelona.

Liverpool's FA Cup semi-final opponent was not as lucky as the League Cup. Their opponent was the Premier League giant Chelsea.

Although the opponent is very difficult, Chelsea also has to take into account the domestic league. They are currently ranked fifth in the league, only three points away from Tottenham, which is fourth in the league. There is a certain hope that they can reverse Tottenham and get fourth in the league, so as to participate in the Champions League next season. League qualifying rounds.

The winner of the FA Cup can only participate in the Europa League. Everyone at Chelsea knows which is more important.

Of course, the champion is ahead and no one will give in.

It can only be said that both teams will have some reservations in the FA Cup semi-finals, especially Liverpool. They need to take into account the crucial first leg of the Champions League semi-finals against Barcelona at home.

Since Li Qing received a red card in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals was automatically suspended. Liverpool will start the FA Cup semi-finals against Chelsea at home and will likely play the entire game.

Chelsea head coach Conte is most afraid of Li Qing, even if Liverpool's home lineup is not the strongest.

In Conte's view, Liverpool with Li Qing is the strongest Liverpool.

Early in the weekend, at 1 pm on Saturday, Liverpool faced the challenge of Chelsea at Anfield.

Chelsea did not arrange the imaginary starting lineup. The goalkeeper is Caballero, defenders Rudiger, Gary Cahill and Azpilicueta, midfielders Emerson, Kante, Cesc Fabregas and Moses, forward Willian, Giroud and Hazard.

Liverpool goalkeeper is Mignolet, defenders Moreno, Matip, Klavan and Joe Gomez, midfielders Milner, Emre Can and Lallana, forwards Woodburn, Firmino and Li Qing.

Chelsea have lost all games at Anfield in the past two seasons. Conte, who has always been arrogant, is very low-key in this campaign. The game tactics are mainly defensive counterattacks. Unfortunately, the counterattack has not yet been launched, but the defense conceded the ball first.

Li Qing, who was called a wealthy killer by the media, helped Liverpool open the scoring in the 12th minute with a long-range shot from the top of the penalty area.

Chelsea, who lost the ball first, consciously strengthened their offense in the subsequent games, but the Liverpool players who came on as substitutes performed very well under the leadership of Li Qing, and they were at their highest level of the season. They did not give Chelsea, led by Hazard and Willian, any chance. Offensive line opportunities.

If there is no problem with the defense, then the offense can safely participate in the offense.

In the 34th minute, Li Qing made a sudden long pass after breaking through from the right, and found the left back Moreno who came in at high speed from the left. The latter did not stop the ball and directly swept the ball into the penalty area, outflanking Phil who was following up in the middle of the penalty area. Mino swept the ball into the penalty area.

Before the end of the first half, Hazard used his superb dribbling ability to help Chelsea win a penalty kick and hit it himself.

However, amid the cheers of 50,000 Liverpool fans at home, Li Qing, who was restricted, broke out again. In the second minute of the second half, he took a direct free kick to help the home team exceed the score again.

Barcelona coach Valdes, who was sitting in the audience at Anfield Stadium, breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Li Qing was suspended in the first round. Otherwise, he really didn't know what to do in the second round at home.

Time is getting less and less, and Chelsea, who is lagging behind, will naturally strengthen their attack.

As a result, Li Qing was given another chance. His iconic long-distance run scored another goal, his third goal of the game. The score on the scoreboard changed from 3:1 to 4:1, and this The score remained unchanged until the end of the game. The home team Liverpool advanced to the FA Cup final for the second consecutive season.

At the end of the game, the on-site director gave Chelsea coach Conte a close-up shot of his face. The second place in the league last season has become fifth in the league this season. This is largely due to his bad temper and public conflicts. The locker room was in chaos, and Chelsea's failure to qualify for the FA Cup final was also expected by the media and fans.

If Conte can gently handle his relationship with meritorious forward Diego Costa at the beginning of the season, the team's locker room will definitely not be chaotic, and it may even form a tripartite confrontation with Liverpool and Manchester City.

In the words of the Celestial Dynasty, it is your own fault!
