Chapter 390: Lock in early Champions League qualification

, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the football player!

On May 17, in the 37th round of the Premier League, Liverpool, who returned triumphantly from Madrid, will play at home against Crystal Palace.

Before the start of the game, Anfield Stadium was very lively, just like this game will be a battle of life and death.

Liverpool fans raised a lot of red numbers 6 in the stands, and the flaming Phoenix flag fluttered around. This is not only a welcome ceremony for Liverpool, but also their desire for the sixth Champions League championship.

This year's Champions League is the eighth time Liverpool have reached the Champions League final in history.

In the previous seven finals trips, Liverpool won five championships, but only lost two finals.

Among all the teams that have participated in the Champions League finals more than three times, Liverpool has the highest rate of winning the finals.

Moreover, the two finals that Liverpool lost, one was the 1985 Champions League final. At that time, the Heysel tragedy happened and the Liverpool team had no intention of playing. So the referee gave the "weak side" Juventus a forced penalty. There are no players to go up to the theory.

At that time, Platini made a penalty kick to help Juventus win the game 1:0, and the Bianconeri won the first Champions League championship in team history.

The other time Liverpool lost the final was the 2007 UEFA Champions League final, the season led by Kaka Super God, that time Liverpool was successfully revenge by Milan in Athens, Inzaghi scored twice in the final.

Today, Liverpool will participate in the Champions League final for the eighth time. It is the fourth-most team to participate in the Champions League final, second only to Real Madrid, Milan and Bayern.

For Liverpool fans, they are not only happy with the team's performance, but also happy to see the hope of the team's revival.

Crystal Palace is currently ranked 12th in the Premier League and has been successfully relegated, but it is hopeless in the European war. It is a team that does not have much demand.

Liverpool is trying to win the game as much as possible, and strive to lock in the Champions League qualification as soon as possible.

In the other Premier League matches that were already underway last night, Arsenal tied 1:1 with Manchester United at Old Trafford, while Manchester City beat Swansea 4:2 away.

In this case, Manchester City's points came to 75 points, one round ahead of the lock in the Premier League top four.

While Manchester United scored 70 points, Liverpool and Arsenal both scored 69 points.

Including the game against Crystal Palace this round, Liverpool have three league games, Arsenal have two games, and Manchester United have only the last one left.

Therefore, in the current four-game situation, Manchester United seems to be ranked third temporarily, but it is actually the worst.

For Liverpool, as long as they can win two of the three games, they will lock in the top four.

Arsenal's two full victories can also lock in the Champions League qualification. Manchester United not only wants to win by themselves, but also has to hope that Liverpool and Arsenal make mistakes, especially Arsenal.

It is also worth mentioning that Chelsea, who won the championship ahead of schedule, lost to West Brom 0:2 in an unexpected away game in this round, which made them miss the record of becoming the second highest-scoring champion in Premier League history.

Even if Chelsea win the next round, they will only win the championship with 91 points.

Although Crystal Palace has no desires and desires, they played very well at Anfield. They may want to take revenge. In the first round of this season, Jackie Lee finished his fourth birthday at home.

A fierce attack failed in the opening, but Zaha relied on a counterattack to open the scoring for the Crystal Palace, but Lallana equalized the score for Liverpool in the first half.

In the second half, Sturridge and Sterling scored one after another to seal the victory for Liverpool.

Li Chenglong probably tried too hard at the Bernabéu in the middle of the week, and this game was a little lacking in strength and became a lying-in win.

But after the game, the Crystal Palace players rushed up excitedly, all looking for Lee Chenglong to exchange their jerseys.

The hat-trick of Bernabéu made Li Chenglong's reputation even more loud.

Leading different teams to the Champions League final for two consecutive years, and now some media have begun to show Li Chenglong's merits, saying that he is already at the same level as Ronaldo Messi.

Moreover, this statement has received a high degree of recognition.

After winning the Crystal Palace, Liverpool will still have a game in the middle of the week, before the 33rd round of the Premier League make-up.

In the middle of this week, Liverpool went away to challenge Hull City, while Arsenal played against Sunderland at home. The two games started at the same time. These will be two make-up matches that determine the fate of Manchester United.

Liverpool will directly lock the top four if they win, and if Arsenal win, they will overtake Manchester United by two points.

In the past, Hull City was still an intractable team on the relegation line, but at the end of this season, Hull City is already a team that is basically about to be relegated.

Currently there is only one final round left in the Premier League. Burnley and Queens Park Rangers have been relegated early. Hull City, the third-to-last team, is six points behind Newcastle, the fourth-to-last team, and has a goal difference of six goals. Inferiority, this is basically difficult to chase.

The probability that Hull City wants to be relegated is only theoretical.

He won two games and had to not lose in the last round of Newcastle, while desperately trying to recover six goal differences.

If Hull City really had this ability, they wouldn't have fallen to this point.

So Hull City is a team that basically locks in relegation.

Although there is only a theoretical relegation probability, Hull City is really fierce playing at home.

All kinds of fierce press and interception make it difficult for Liverpool to organize an effective attack.

It was not until 70 minutes later in the second half that their physical strength was almost exhausted and Liverpool finally opened up the situation.

In the 78th minute, Li Chenglong picked a pass before the penalty area. In order to prevent Sturridge from catching the ball, the opposing Irish defender Mike Shane jumped and headed the ball ahead of time and put the ball into his goal.

Relying on this own goal, Liverpool won the game in a difficult 1-0 away game and locked in advance to qualify for the Champions League next season.

In fact, not only locked in the Champions League qualification, Liverpool still directly locked in the top three, directly into the Champions League group stage next season.

Because in another make-up match at the same time, Arsenal actually had 0:0 at home and the desperate Sunderland.

In this case, after all 37 Premier League matches, Chelsea ranked first with 88 points, followed by Manchester City and Liverpool with 75 points, while Arsenal and Manchester United both had 70 points.

Liverpool and Manchester City, Chelsea, the three teams have completely locked in the UEFA Champions League group stage qualification next season.

Manchester United and Arsenal, the two teams will be divided in the final round to fight for the last Champions League spot in the Premier League.

Currently the two teams have the same points, but Arsenal have a five goal difference advantage.

In the final round, Arsenal will face the desperate West Brom at home, while Manchester United will play away against the relegated Hull City.

Arsenal have only a small advantage. A slight miss in the final round may result in Manchester United stealing the Champions League qualification.

At the same time, even if Arsenal made no mistakes and successfully won the game, Manchester United would not have no chance.

Manchester United can win Hull City by a huge score in the away game, and then rely on the goal difference advantage to overtake Arsenal.

In short, Arsenal's dullness in this make-up has given Manchester United another hope.

After winning the away game in Hull City, Li Chenglong took the initiative to find his old teammate Robertson to exchange jerseys.

And he not only exchanged jerseys, but also sent an invitation to the other party.

"Andrew, Hull City has been relegated, how about coming to Liverpool next season?"

"Liverpool? Are you serious?" Hearing this sudden invitation, Robertson's face was filled with surprise~www.NovelMTL.com~ Robertson's performance in Hull City this season was not bad, and he got some good results. evaluation of.

But most of the media's positioning of Robertson is just the main player in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League.

The main reason is that Robertson's body is weak and he suffers a bit from the confrontation. In the relegation team that has been under pressure for a long time in Hull City, his offensive talent can not be displayed at all, so the evaluation is not high.

Now that Hull City is downgraded, Li Chenglong feels that this is a good opportunity to win him.

The price is not high, but it can strengthen the left.

Although Moreno is currently the main force in the left-back position of Liverpool, his ability is relatively average. In the confrontation with the strong team, Moreno has always performed somewhat reluctantly.

If Robertson can come over, it will be able to strengthen the team's left attack.

"Andrew, you have to believe in yourself, you are the kind of player who has the ability to play the main role in the giants." Finally, Li Chenglong patted the opponent's shoulder, and immediately flashed after the end of the chic pretence.
