Revive Liverpool

Chapter 256 The Possibility of Winning the Championship

The 32nd round of the Liverpool League will be held on March 3, and it is still a home game against Tottenham.

Less than 2 minutes into the game, Glenn Johnson made a cross from the right side of the penalty area, and Tottenham defender Kabul accidentally scored an own goal in the middle of the penalty area.Liverpool took a lightning lead [-]-[-].

In the 25th minute, Dawson, who had just come off the bench, made a cross pass that was too powerful, causing Kabul to stop the ball and made a mistake. Suarez got the ball alertly and broke into the penalty area.

Liverpool [-]-[-] Tottenham.

It was his 28th league goal of the season, tying Robbie Fowler's single-season Premier League goalscoring record set by Robbie Fowler in 1995/96.

Every subsequent goal of his was to refresh the team's scoring discipline in the Premier League in a single season.

In the 55th minute, Robertson dribbled the ball all the way from the backcourt and passed it to Coutinho. The latter's shot from outside the top of the arc hit the bottom left corner of the goal. Liverpool [-]-[-] Tottenham.

In the 75th minute, Henderson took a free kick on the left side of the frontcourt. He seemed to pass and shoot the ball. As the goalkeeper was disturbed by the players in the penalty area, the ball flew directly into the net.

Liverpool four to zero Tottenham.

After the 32th round of the league, the Premier League standings:

Liverpool, 76 points.

Chelsea, 69 points.

Manchester City, 66 points.

Arsenal, 64 points.

……

Chelsea's failure to secure a win away at Crystal Palace allowed Liverpool to extend their lead to seven points.

A [-]-[-] upset loss to Crystal Palace in the away game. Although the only goal came from captain John Terry's own goal, for Chelsea, which is aiming to win the championship, this is the team's two-game losing streak in the away game.

Poor away record, many points conceded to weaker teams, and weak forward line, these three fatal flaws made Chelsea completely lose the initiative in the championship.

Mourinho also admitted after the game: "Now we have lost the opportunity to compete for the championship. We are too dependent on the results of other games. This result makes me very disappointed, but we can only blame ourselves.

Some of our players are not used to this kind of game, such as Stoke, Newcastle and Everton.Can I change this?
I have no idea!My defensive players are phenomenal, but in certain situations we often get into trouble. "

Chelsea looked unstoppable with a [-]-[-] sweep of title rivals Arsenal in the last round of the league.

This round faces Crystal Palace, which is only 1 place higher than the relegation zone, and it has not lost to an opponent in 24 years, so people generally feel that Chelsea's 3 points have already been pocketed in advance.

But surprisingly, even though Mourinho's team had 67% possession and 21 shots, it was Chelsea who lost the game.

The only goal in the game came from Terry's own goal, which has plagued Chelsea many times this season. The away game has reproduced the curse. Counting the loss to Aston Villa in the middle of this month, the Blues have suffered a two-game losing streak in away games.

The direct consequence of these two defeats is that Chelsea's distance from the top Liverpool from only 1 point to 7 points.

After losing [-]-[-] to Crystal Palace, the British media are generally not optimistic about Chelsea's prospects of winning the championship.

"Daily Mail" stated: "Chelsea's dream of winning the championship has suffered a major blow."

"Sky Sports" also said: "Crystal Palace has greatly delayed Chelsea's title race."

And Manchester City behind them has one game less, although in the same round of Manchester City's away game against Arsenal, the two teams drew one to one.

But if Manchester City can win the make-up match, Manchester City will overtake Chelsea and come to the second position.

The main reason why Chelsea has lost the chain in the Premier League is that they have Champions League games and cannot devote themselves to the league games.

The same goes for Arsenal, who lost the chain. Arsenal not only continued to advance in the Europa League, but also made great strides in the FA Cup.

Arsenal, which is fighting on the third front, doesn't have a lot of personnel. In the second half of the season, they will also fight on the third front. It is a miracle that they can not lose the chain.

There are still 6 rounds left in the league, and Liverpool are getting closer and closer to their first Premier League trophy.

This season can be said to be the best situation for the Red Army to win the Premier League in 24 years.

Klopp was also interviewed by BBC reporters at the training ground.

First, he freely admits that he never enjoyed the anxiety that comes with competing for titles.

"It's not the biggest pressure in the world, but you can imagine it, every game is so important and it happens in such a short period of time.

Football is certainly not the most important thing in the world, but in these moments it is so important to us because we have no other choice.It's a hard feeling, but I love what I'm looking for. "

The reporter also asked him what he thought of the recent enthusiasm of Liverpool fans for winning the championship.

How important Klopp, who has just been to Liverpool for less than a year, is to the Premier League championship to Liverpool fans.

He said: "I don't know many people, that's a fact. I'm at home, at Anfield, and if I'm a Liverpool fan, I'm excited, but of course I have to produce results to keep them excited.

It's really about the Reds fans, first and foremost.Because they've had that dream for so long.

After all, to be honest, I haven't dreamed of winning a league title for Liverpool for 29 years, but those fans have persisted for 29 years. "

As for his opponents competing for the championship, Klopp said:
"It's not just Chelsea that we're fighting for the title. Everyone seems to be down on Manchester City. A lot of people look down on them after they've been knocked out of two cups. I don't really understand why that is."

In addition, Klopp also said: "So this year's game will look more exciting than last year, which is good for football and the Premier League.

I think the suspense will continue until the end of the season, because I don't see any absolute advantages at the moment.We also have to be flawless, everyone has to. "

In addition to the question about Liverpool's championship, the reporter also asked some other questions, such as what do you think about racial discrimination.

Recently, there have been some racially discriminatory remarks, and Sterling in the Liverpool team is one who has been discriminated against.

In response, Klopp said: "We all think that whoever says anything racist is stupid.

While I don't feel like there is a massive racism problem right now, it still exists in the subtleties of our lives.This kind of behavior makes no difference, as long as someone is discriminated against, we must stand up and resist it. "

"In football, in a team, there is no religion, there are no different skin colours, we just see the players running on the pitch."
