178. First round match
The semi-main Liverpool team surprised many by beating Everton, who were fifth in the league at their home stadium, and it seemed to them that this was a big upset, because before the game, everyone thought that Everton would win easily.
Luck! Now everyone is putting this victory at Liverpool down to luck!
Yes, judging by the course of the game, the Liverpudlians really won this game by luck.
In this game, the Liverpudlians don't really have a lot of dangerous attacks, while Everton has a lot of dangerous attacks, but Zuihou's victory is really Liverpudlian, isn't it Liverpudlian's luck?
After the game, Everton manager David Moyes also said that Liverpool's luck in this game was simply against the sky, and he actually seized one of the few opportunities, which is really against the sky. Of course, he also admitted that there was a problem with the mentality of the Everton players in this game, and if it wasn't for the mentality of the players, they would have won this game easily.
However, in any case, they lost this game by Everton, and they did not take advantage of this good opportunity, which not only deprived them of the chance to compete for next season's Champions League qualification, but also allowed Liverpool to qualify for the league title.
After the 32nd round of the league, Liverpool are still top of the league with 74 points, while Manchester United and Arsenal are second or third in the league with 73 points, while Chelsea are fourth in the league with 71 points.
Now there are six rounds left in the league, this game is really not much, and now it is the most critical moment, any little mistake will bury the team's efforts throughout the season, at this time, everyone is very cautious.
As soon as this round of matches ended, the outside media lamented Liverpool's good luck, but they only sighed at the good luck of the Liverpudlian people, they didn't believe that the good luck of the Liverpudlian people would continue to be so good.
The win in this round of the league is only to retain the qualification of Liverpool for the league title, and in their opinion, it is difficult for Liverpool to win the double. And some media reporters also said that the victory in this game was not a good thing for Liverpool.
Because this will make the Liverpudlians continue to be in a dilemma, whether to choose the league or the Champions League, these two choices, very difficult.
If Liverpool loses this game, then Liverpool will happily choose to give up the league and go all out to pursue the Champions League. However, now it is this game that Liverpool has won, and this fluke win will give Liverpool full of illusions about the league title.
At this time, Liverpool will definitely have more ideas. Their semi-main squad can beat a strong team like fifth in the league, so won't their semi-main team win against other teams in the league? As long as we win, this league title is not in our Liverpool bag?
Yes, you have to look at Shu!
Liverpool would certainly think so, and they wouldn't have given up on the league title so easily. In this way, Liverpool may choose to go hand in hand.
However, the Liverpudlians would not have thought that they had relied on their luck to beat Everton, in fact, they were not strong enough to beat any team in the Premier League's top five with just a semi-main squad.
The win against Everton could make Liverpool arrogant, and in that case it would be a big crisis for Liverpool. If Liverpool loses themselves like this, then Liverpool are really in danger, and maybe they will have nothing to gain.
Of course, there are also those who believe that the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Arsenal is very important, for Liverpool.
If, in this game, Liverpool beat Arsenal, then Liverpool cargo can go to the double. If Liverpool loses to Arsenal in this game, then Liverpool should be sober, and then give up the Champions League and go to the league title.
Liverpool's first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals against Arsenal is very important, and if Liverpool loses to Arsenal by a big margin in this game, then the Liverpudlians will be able to pursue the league title wholeheartedly.
It's a really crucial moment now, and if you're not careful, you'll have to scrap all your efforts this season. So, at this time, the Liverpool players are very cautious and careful. And at this time, the pressure on their shoulders was also very high, and they were a little out of breath.
During this time, Qiu Ze also felt a lot of pressure, which he had not experienced in his previous life, even when he tried out a European giant club in his previous life, he did not have such a lot of pressure, even when he hit the Shijie Cup in his previous life, there was not such a great pressure.
Now that he can feel that much pressure even as a player, you can imagine how much pressure Benitez has on him.
Being a football coach is really not something that ordinary people can do, and if you don't have a big heart, it's best to stay away from this high-risk industry.
Next, the whole Liverpool team is nervously preparing for Arsenal's Champions League game, which is very important now, and Liverpool will certainly be hoping to get a good result in this game, and now they will be aiming to score at least one away goal in this game.
The first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals between Liverpool and Arsenal has attracted the attention of many people, this is a Premier League civil war, both in England and abroad The media are very concerned about this game, this game has almost become the focus of this round of games, the most attractive game.

Not to be outdone, Liverpool said: "In this season's games, we are ahead of Arsenal. And we've found a way to deal with Arsenal, and the victory for Zuihou in this game must be ours, I'm sure. ”

Before the game, the players on both sides were not humble and thought they would win the game, but after the start of the game, the players on both sides did not rush to attack, but began to test each other, which is not like a team from the same league.
The performance between the two teams was more like that of two very strange teams, with neither of them attacking recklessly. At this time, both sides are very cautious, no one wants to be eliminated so rashly, they both want to advance to the next round.
Therefore, for a long time in the first half of the game, both sides were testing each other, and this meeting was very calm and dull, which disappointed those who followed the game, and the game was simply boring.

However, Liverpool were not without attacking chances, and in the first half Liverpool also threatened the Arsenal goal, but they failed to score, and the two sides ended up with a zero-for-zero first-half game.
After the start of the second half, the two sides were more open, and the attacks of the two sides made the fans on the scene addicted. Of course, they are also very nervous because they are afraid that their team will break the goal.
The deadlock on the pitch was finally broken in the eleventh minute of the second half, when Arsenal played a clever combination in midfield before Cesc Fabregas in the middle sent a clever pass straight through to tear apart the Liverpool five-man defence.
Arsenal striker Adebayo broke out of the encirclement, dribbled into the Liverpool penalty area, faced Liverpool's goalkeeper Reina, and scored a heavy shot, and the Arsenal team led by one goal.
Immediately, the Arsenal fans were jubilant, they cheered excitedly, they thought that they had won the game and the victory was theirs.
However, just a minute later, the Liverpudlian equalised. Kick-off in the middle circle, Liverpool's Qiu Ze directly sent a long pass over the top, Spanish striker Fernando 61 Torres stretched out his leg to pick the football Xiangshang before the football did not land, and the football passed the attacking Arsenal goalkeeper and fell into the goal of the Arsenal team, 1-1 draw!
After that, both sides had a lot of chances, but neither side took them. In the end, Liverpool drew 1-1 away from Arsenal, and Liverpool not only got an away goal as they wanted, but also managed to get a draw, and the result of this game was really good.
This result is very good for Liverpool, and the initiative is in the hands of the Liverpudlians, because in the second leg, Liverpool will face Arsenal at their home stadium, and then all the initiative will be in the hands of Liverpool.
