Chapter 345 Champions League Semi-finals

Liverpool defeated Chelsea 4:1 at home to take the lead in advancing to the 2017-2018 English FA Cup final. Their opponent in the FA Cup final at the new Wembley Stadium was Manchester United, who defeated Tottenham.

Manchester United, who were eliminated in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League, did not feel comfortable during this period. The good start at the beginning of the season was ruined by midfielder Pogba, and he kept persuading. With 'God' Ibrahimovic Qi joined the United League on a free transfer. No one in the team could suppress Pogba, which resulted in Manchester United's poor performance in the second half of the season.

They eliminated Tottenham in the FA Cup semi-finals, but no one expected Manchester United to defeat Liverpool at the new Wembley Stadium.

The double red club in the FA Cup final has appeared twice in the history of the FA Cup, but both dates back to the last century. The most recent FA Cup final clash was in the 1995-1996 season, when Manchester United defeated Liverpool 1:0. It was Manchester United's 'King' Cantona who scored the winning goal.

The last time was the FA Cup final in the 1976-1977 season. Due to the age, the two games were of little reference. The local media in Liverpool and the English media were not in the mood to focus on the FA Cup, which was played after the league ended. finals.

The top priority is the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals at Anfield in four days' time.

As the only team in the Premier League, Liverpool naturally shoulders the heavy responsibility of the Premier League team's performance in the Champions League.

The most glorious moment of the Premier League was three seats in the Champions League semi-finals for several consecutive seasons. Times have changed and the dominance of Premier League teams is not as good as before. The last Premier League team to advance to the Champions League semi-finals was Manchester City two seasons ago. Unfortunately, they were eliminated. Real Madrid, who eventually won the championship, were eliminated.

The last time a Premier League team advanced to the Champions League final was six years ago, when Chelsea, the underdog, defeated Bayern in overtime at the Allianz Arena and won the Champions League.

Except for the 2012-2013 season when the Champions League championship was won by Bayern, the Champions League championships in the next four seasons were won by La Liga teams Real Madrid and Barcelona. Among them, Real Madrid won three Champions Leagues and Barcelona won one.

Closer to home, Liverpool's promotion to the Champions League final was originally expected by many people. However, as Li Qing received two yellow cards in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Liverpool's promotion odds increased, which meant that the betting companies were not very optimistic. Optimistic about Liverpool's promotion prospects.

Li Qing's personal ability is indeed outstanding and can often turn the tide. However, the Champions League has reached the semi-finals and Barcelona is a world-class team. Without Li Qing, Liverpool's overall strength has dropped by at least two levels. Therefore, even if Liverpool first Playing at home in the round is also not favored.

Liverpool head coach Klopp, who was interviewed by the media during the period, was full of confidence. He said that Liverpool is a strong team and its strength will not be greatly reduced due to the lack of Li Qing. He also said that it takes two rounds to decide the place in the Champions League final, and he is confident to lead the team. Liverpool, which is currently undefeated in 50 league games across the season, defeated Barcelona at home to pave the way for advancing to the Champions League final this season.

The Catalan media is notoriously cynical. Almost as soon as Klopp finished his interview with the media, he made targeted satires on Twitter, INS, Facebook and other social media.

Klopp knew that few reporters in the media had good intentions, so he had already been mentally prepared. After accepting the media interview, he focused all his attention on preparations for the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals.

Li Qing missed the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals. He was not in the team's squad for the first round. Klopp originally gave him two days off, but Li Qing was idle alone, so he followed the whole team. Preparing for the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals.

Although Li Qing missed the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, he hopes to fight side by side with his teammates to defeat visiting Barcelona at home.

As the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals approaches, former Liverpool players Suarez and Coutinho have become the focus. Before Li Qing did not win the Player of the Month, Liverpool had not had a player win the Player of the Month for more than two years. Award, and the last Liverpool player to be selected was Suarez.

The 2013-2014 season was the most likely season for Liverpool to win the Premier League since the founding of the Premier League. As a result, captain Gerrard's accidental slip caused the entire season's efforts to be wasted. Despite this, no one will ignore Suarez. contribution.

Sterling and Sturridge's ability to perform at a high level that season was directly related to Suarez. This is also the fundamental reason why both Sterling and Sturridge's status declined after Suarez moved to Barcelona.

Liverpool fans will remember Suarez's contribution in their hearts and say that Liverpool will always be Suarez's home. In an interview with "Echo", Suarez said that he would not celebrate goals...

Another former Liverpool player, Coutinho, did not receive such treatment. Compared to the striker Suarez, who left with regrets, he was obviously treated upside down.

Some extreme Liverpool fans have made harsh remarks on Coutinho's official personal social network, with such insults and insults that Coutinho had to temporarily turn off comments.

In the blink of an eye, the first match day of the Champions League has arrived in mid-week. Bayern's home match against Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals will soon begin, and the entire Barcelona team also took a flight to Liverpool to prepare for tomorrow night's match at Anfield Stadium. Champions League semi-final first leg.

Li Qing, who missed the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, kept encouraging his teammates. Liverpool fans saw this and did not blame him for receiving a red card in the second leg of the quarter-finals. On the contrary, many Red Army fans believed that Li Qing deliberately gave Solan Can't take revenge, because Li Qing didn't do much defense in the past. Even if he participated in defensive actions, he would do it very cleanly, and there would basically be no kicking defensive actions.

Through slow-motion replay, Li Qing's side tackle was obviously aimed at Banega's right ankle. From this, it can be easily seen that Li Qing stood up for his teammates regardless of personal gains and losses.

Coupled with Kirkby's youth academy background, Liverpool fans praised him as God.

Of course, more Liverpool fans are willing to call him the king.

The first Champions League matchday was played at the Allianz Arena in Munich. After 90 minutes of fierce battle, the defending champion Real Madrid reversed Bayern 2:1 away from home with goals from Marcelo and Asensio, laying the foundation for advancing to the Champions League final.

At 8:45 pm the next day, the first leg of Liverpool's Champions League semi-final against Barcelona kicked off at home. Li Qing, who had been suspended, was sitting in the team's VIP seat. He was accompanied by Liverpool club executives and agents to watch the game. Des.

Liverpool failed to qualify for this season's Champions League final. In addition to Li Qing's performance in the second round at Camp Nou, Liverpool's first-leg home game against Barcelona also depends on it.

If they lose by a big margin at home, then...no matter how hard Li Qing works in the second round, there is a high possibility that he will be unable to recover.
