Chapter 1661 Take Manchester United lightly (Second update on guarantee)

Although they lost the game, those Manchester United fans who stayed until the end were in a good mood because they saw hope from Luis Nacho.

Chen Yingxiong is 40 years old and will be 41 soon. He will retire at the end of this season.Everyone knows what Liverpool will look like without Chen Yingxiong at that time-what will become of a person without a backbone, and what will become of Liverpool.

The end of each dynasty is accompanied by the warring states era in which warlords fought against each other.

If Manchester United wants to regain the throne of the year, it must be prepared to quickly seize the opportunity, defeat all opponents, and finally regain the top.

For this reason, Nacho's maturity is something that makes all Manchester United fans very gratified.

In their view, Nacho is the number one star in the Premier League after Chen Yingxiong retired, and no other team has a player who can compete with Nacho.As long as Chen Yingxiong retires, it will be just around the corner for Manchester United to return to the top.

So does Solskjaer.

Nacho's maturity in this game surprised him.

He intends to wrestle his wrists again in the two Champions League games against Liverpool.

Before, he did not have any special adjustments in tactics because he lacked confidence in Nacho.But this time he wants to maximize Nacho's energy, and then let's see what the strength comparison between Manchester United and Liverpool will become.

He is not worried now that entrusting Nacho with a heavy responsibility in such an important game will backfire.

Because Nacho has proved with his actual actions that he can take on such a heavy responsibility.

※ ※ ※

Although he defeated Manchester United in the away game, Gerrard did not get carried away thinking that his team would definitely win the league championship, nor did he think that his team could easily beat Manchester United twice in a week.

The most valuable asset that Martin O'Neill left to this team is not those trophies, but his cautious and conscientious attitude.

Gerrard spent the New Year under O'Neill, so he naturally inherited this.

Gerrard is also a cautious and conscientious person.

He still takes the quarter-finals of the Champions League against Manchester United very seriously.Not only himself, but he also asked his players not to get carried away by winning this game.

"The league is very long. It is not easy for everyone to stick to this step. I don't want this great situation to be ruined because of some people's underestimation. How did Liverpool have so many champions? You should know that Liverpool's championship tradition is What. I want you to keep that in mind."

That's what Steven Gerrard told his players in the visiting dressing room at Old Trafford.Just after the game ended, he put on a straight face and warned his players, showing his caution.

After finishing the Manchester United game, Liverpool's opponent in the 32nd round is "Black Cat" Sunderland.This is not a strong opponent.

Taking into account the next two fierce battles, Gerrard decisively rotated.

But Chen Yingxiong still started.

More than ten years have passed, and this has become a tradition for Liverpool with Chen Yingxiong.

No matter how the rotation is, Chen Yingxiong will definitely start.No matter how strong Liverpool is, even without Chen Yingxiong, they can still beat their opponents.But he still has to start.

From the perspective of the head coach, Chen Yingxiong is Liverpool's ultimate insurance.If there are any accidents on the field, such as Liverpool, which is originally strong but unable to defeat the opponent due to various messy things, then at least there is Chen Yingxiong. As long as he is there, no matter what problems they encounter, Liverpool will definitely win.

This is the role of Chen Yingxiong.

The point of starting the game has not changed, the only thing that has changed is his playing time.

In the past, when Chen Yingxiong was in good physical condition, the whole team was rotated, and he could play all the games, and he did so throughout the season.

Now that his physical fitness has declined significantly, Gerrard has also begun to reduce Chen Yingxiong's playing time for the purpose of protecting him.If the overall situation of the game is decided and Liverpool will definitely win, he will usually replace Chen Yingxiong between 10 minutes and 75 minutes. Enjoy the cheers and applause from the fans alone.

Anyway, with Chen Yingxiong's current ability, even if his playing time is reduced, he can still complete the task perfectly.

The nine-month suspension did not wear off his form, but gave him a chance to rest.Let him, a 40-year-old guy, have no major physical problems, and goals continue to appear one after another.

It was the same against Sunderland.

Chen Yingxiong played 10 minutes and scored twice in the game.Helped Liverpool take the lead early.

After completing the task, Chen Yingxiong was replaced by Gerrard.

On the field, this early substitution is the most meaningful, because only at Liverpool's home court can Chen Yingxiong get deafening cheers.In any other stadium, all he could get was boos.

In the end, Liverpool defeated Sunderland, who had no fighting spirit, 4:1 at home.

However, the victory in this game did not help them rise to second place in the league.

Because Manchester United defeated Bolton 3-0 in another league game, they still lead Liverpool by one goal in terms of goal difference.

Nacho scored again.

The gap between the two is four goals.However, the gap between Liverpool and Manchester United's goal difference has not changed, it is still one goal, and Manchester United beats Liverpool.

Manchester United are desperately trying to secure their goal difference over Liverpool.This is the only way they can stop Liverpool.

But how long can this practice last?
After all, this will bring tremendous pressure on Manchester United.

Gerrard doesn't care about Manchester United's response, he only cares about the Champions League match against Manchester United.

Liverpool's goals this season also include regaining the Champions League, which they have lost for six years.

This was proposed by Chen Yingxiong, and Gerald was still tongue-tied at the time.

But now that it is done, it must be done well.This season, Liverpool must regain the European Champions Cup, which has been lost for six years!
Even if it's just to give Chen Yingxiong the best farewell gift, not for the glory of Liverpool, this championship must be won!

Liverpool and Manchester United are old rivals, and there is no need for special study.Just follow the normal preparation procedures.

If it weren't for the hype of the media, everyone might not think that the next Champions League game is a rematch of the game a week and a half ago...

※ ※ ※

In the first round of the battle between the two sides, Liverpool played against Manchester United at home, and in the second round, Manchester United returned to home.

In terms of schedule, Manchester United is more favorable.

But everyone knows that when playing against Liverpool, such factors that cannot play a decisive role are bullshit.

One of the most famous classic cases back then was the match between Barcelona and Liverpool. At that time, Barcelona played away games first, and then played home games. Everyone felt that Barcelona’s schedule was very favorable, and Barcelona would beat Liverpool to advance to the final.

And Liverpool obviously know this too.

After all, at that time, the arrangement on the schedule was considered one of the favorable conditions recognized by everyone.

The results of it?
Liverpool scored six goals against Barcelona in the first leg!

You must know that their opponent is Barcelona!It was number one in the world at the time.

In order to ensure the promotion, Liverpool poured Barcelona six goals at home, completely killing the suspense of the game.

Everyone has known since that game that for Liverpool it makes no difference whether they play home first or away first.

Because they always have a way to kill you.

The same is true for this game.

Solskjaer is very aware of this, so his tactics in the first round are still defensive counterattacks, but this time he gave Nacho more authority, and he is also the core of the team's counterattacks.

He just wanted to see what kind of answers Nacho could deliver in this game.

But it is a pity that Nacho worked very hard in this game, and the whole team worked hard.

But Manchester United still can't compete with Liverpool.

Chen Yingxiong scored twice in the game and scored all two goals of the game, helping Liverpool win at home.

He has scored nine goals in the Champions League this season, and his ranking in the Champions League scorer list this season has also risen from the previous ten to No.4.

The No. [-] Barcelona striker, Quique, has thirteen goals.The difference between the two is four places and four goals.

Luis Nacho has already lost the competition for the top scorer list in the Premier League, and now everyone is waiting for Quick to be dragged down by Chen Yingxiong from the top spot.

Chen Yingxiong's performance was wonderful, and Nacho didn't score a goal at all.

It's not that Nacho is in bad shape.

Nacho is in very good condition and is very active. His running, dribbling and passing are impeccable, and he has even participated in the team's defense many times. He is actually not the kind of player with excellent physical fitness, but this time During the game, he ran forward and backward without any hesitation.

Despite this, he still failed to score, and United's performance did not improve because of his active play.

But from Nacho, Solskjaer suddenly discovered a new problem.

In this Champions League game, Manchester United lost a 0:2 away game, and they are in a very dangerous situation.

They can be said to have lost hope of advancing, and they can also be said to have a chance.

The difference of two goals is all possible after answering home.

But Solskjaer's focus is not on this score.

This discovery made him a little flustered. If it is confirmed, it means that his previous efforts are likely to be in vain.

But he has to prove it, because he is responsible for Manchester United's future, even if he denies himself.

Now, it doesn't matter whether Manchester United can reach the semi-finals of the Champions League this season.

What he has to do now may be related to Manchester United's next ten years, which is much more important than a season's Champions League results.
