Before the arrival of the first round of the Champions League semi-finals, the penultimate fifth round of the Premier League started as scheduled.

Liverpool took the lead in the battle, at home against Fulham, who had nothing to ask for.

Considering for the semi-finals of the Champions League, although Koeman dispatched the main force, the game strategy adopted was a blitzkrieg tactic.

At the very beginning of the game, Liverpool took the initiative to attack bravely. Qin Xiong, who had returned from injury, made a foul on the left side of the front court, and then Alonso took a free kick to the area in front of the goal. Thiago Schiller Wa grabs a point and successfully heads the goal!

After Liverpool took a one-goal lead, they retreated and contracted their defense.

Fulham is not desperate to fight Liverpool to the death. As long as Liverpool does not insist on pushing them to a corner, such as attacking and scoring goals despite being ahead, then Fulham can calmly accept defeat at Anfield. .

The game turned into a rhythm of thunder and rain. Although Liverpool also created some excellent offensive opportunities, they failed to seize the opportunities and failed to expand their lead.

The final score was 1:0.

Liverpool successfully took all 3 points at home and continued to lead the standings.

After Manchester City swept West Brom 4:0 in the last round, their state suddenly recovered. In the away game against Norwich City, Manchester City once again went on a killing spree, and slaughtered the home team Norwich 6:1 in the away game.

Although Norwich is a newly promoted team, it has already completed the relegation task this season, so it seemed very spineless to be slaughtered by Manchester City at home and did not stand up to resist.

Manchester United successfully won at Old Trafford this round, and did not continue the downward trend of the last round of upset losses.

The 4:0 victory over Aston Villa continued to suppress Manchester City and put pressure on Liverpool.

Chelsea prepared for the semi-finals of the Champions League and stayed at home. They were defeated by Newcastle United 2-0.

Tottenham beat Bolton 4:1 in the away game. The pursuing teams either use Tian Ji's horse racing strategy to balance the gains and losses of the league and other battlefields, or they are crazy.

And Arsenal created a shocking chill in this round!

Lost to Wigan Athletic 1:2 at home.

Wigan Athletic, a nerd knife, always messes up the battle of the giants, but competes with teams of the same level but plays extremely badly, otherwise it would not have declared success in relegation at the end of the season.

Arsenal's struggle for the four major causes is extremely difficult.

Before the Champions League semi-finals, Liverpool still lead the standings.

Liverpool 79 points.

Manchester United 78 points.

Manchester City 74 points.

Tottenham 62 points.

Arsenal 61 points.

Chelsea 57 points.

With four rounds left in the league, Manchester City's prospects for the championship are the least optimistic. In the fourth round, Chelsea is almost out. If they fail to win the Champions League, Chelsea will miss the Champions League next season.

If there is no accident, the ticket for the Champions League qualifying match will belong to one of the pair of rivals in North London.

Liverpool's championship across the board has reached the most critical juncture.

The battle for the Champions League is about to begin.

The Red Army is preparing for this game in full swing.

The first game will be at Anfield.

At the pre-match press conference, Koeman solemnly stated: "No team that can reach the semi-finals of the Champions League is an underdog, and theoretically anyone is likely to win the championship. We will not underestimate our opponents just because we lead Chelsea in the league. , Just like Chelsea eliminated Barcelona unexpectedly, underestimating the Blues will inevitably be punished!"

Chelsea coach Di Matteo did not have high requirements for going to Anfield.

"If we can leave with a scoreable draw at Anfield, then we will be very satisfied and confident of reaching the final. Anfield is the home of the devil in Europe. Many strong teams have fallen at the door of the Red Army. , Chelsea will try to defend the goal as much as possible, but according to Liverpool's state and strength, it is almost impossible to prevent them from scoring, so we will try to score goals."

......

On the evening of April 4, Anfield was unprecedentedly grand.

As it was a civil war among the local giants, the atmosphere inside and outside Anfield was extremely warm.

The Red Army fans pulled up a banner in the stands, which read Champions League champions Liverpool 7, Chelsea 0!

They want to use this to show Chelsea Liverpool's strong honor background and suppress Chelsea's morale.

In fact, Chelsea is the underdog. Among the teams that have advanced to the semi-finals this season, Chelsea is the least favored team.

Both Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are more favored than Chelsea as favorites to win the title.

Needless to say, Liverpool, the defending champion is the number one favorite.

When the two teams walked into the stadium, the atmosphere on the scene changed suddenly, and the Red Army fans roared enthusiastically, cheering for the Red Army.

"Welcome to Anfield, where the first leg of the Champions League semi-final took place.

The defending champion Red Army Liverpool sits at home against Chelsea, a strong team also from England.

Liverpool's overall performance this season is relatively stable and strong, leading other competitors in the Premier League with a slight advantage, but they have already won the League Cup and reached the final of the FA Cup. They will advance towards the Champions League final today!

Chelsea's performance this season is surprising. Mourinho II Boas's transformation of the Blues failed. He was fired by Abramovich in the middle of the season, and then Di Matteo took over the team. Couldn't revive the Blues, still stumbled, but he's admirable for leading the team to the FA Cup final, and also for the Champions League semi-finals, but Chelsea's luck is not good, they met the defending champion Champion Liverpool.

Of course, the other two opponents, whether it is Real Madrid or Bayern Munich, Chelsea may not be easy to deal with.

Let's take a look at the starting rosters of both sides.

Liverpool starting 433.

Goalkeeper: Reina.

Defenders: Johnson, Skrtel, Thiago Silva, Baynes.

Midfield: Mascherano, Alonso, Cabaye.

Forwards: Gerrard, Suarez, Qin Xiong.

Eh?Today, Coman's formation is out of line with common sense again!

He actually played Gerrard on the right wing and Cabaye as a central midfielder. This is really an unexpected formation.

But maybe it will work wonders.

Chelsea start 4231.

Goalkeeper: Cech.

Defenders: Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Ashley Cole.

Midfield: Ramires, Meireles, Lampard, Mikel, Mata.

Forward: Didier Drogba.

There is nothing unexpected about Chelsea's starting lineup, they put on the strongest lineup. "

Both Koeman and Di Matteo stood on the sidelines to watch the game. Koeman scanned Chelsea's lineup, then retracted his gaze, waiting for the game to start solemnly. (to be continued~^~)
