Mourinho went to get to know Ginter, while Tong Yi led the team to the second leg of the 2016-2017 English League Cup semi-finals.

This time it was played at Liverpool's home court, and Tong Yi led the team to Liverpool.

Because the score of the first round between the two sides was 5 to 3, the Crystal Palace side had an absolute advantage, so the psychological burden on the Crystal Palace side was not that heavy at this time, and they were very relaxed.

On the contrary, Liverpool's psychological pressure is very high.

In this game, they had to score at least two goals to come back and win and advance to the EFL Cup final.

However, Liverpool still has some advantages with three away goals.

But, to be honest, this advantage is almost nonexistent.

It is not impossible for Liverpool to defeat Crystal Palace 2-0, but it is very difficult.

Liverpool fans also felt that this game would be very difficult, and they were very worried before the game.

Liverpool's head coach Klopp also said before the game, "For this game, I think we Liverpool still have a chance. But relatively speaking, it is still relatively difficult. Needless to say, the strength of Crystal Palace, and They are still leading by a big score. All I can say about this game is that we at Liverpool will definitely not give up and will definitely go all out. As for the result, we leave it to God."

It can be seen that Liverpool is still a little pessimistic.

Maybe they all know the strength of Crystal Palace.

Or maybe the Liverpool people are showing weakness to the enemy and paralyzing the Crystal Palace people.

Anyway, one thing that can be confirmed is that Liverpool will not surrender, and they also want to win.

Media reporters are actually more optimistic about Liverpool, after all, this is Anfield.

And Liverpool's strength this season is actually not weak.

Liverpool has a chance to defeat Crystal Palace at home and advance to the final.

Well, the semi-finals haven't passed yet, and they're coveting the League Cup title?

You haven't even gotten this Long, so you start to look forward to Shu?

It's a bit too ambitious.

Of course, this also made Liverpool fans very angry.

Doesn’t this damn Chinese soft-boiled man look down on our Liverpool team too much? What does this guy think of us as Liverpool? Is it something you can ignore? Is it something you can defeat if you want to?

Damn Chinese bastards, give it to us

Wait, in this game, we at Liverpool will teach you how to behave.

Don't think that your Crystal Palace victory over Liverpool 5-3 in the first round is safe. Do you want to know how the miracle in Istanbul happened that year? Liverpool also turned around after being three goals behind. Now they are only two goals behind. It is really not a sure thing.
