Revive Liverpool

Chapter 257 The Battle for the Championship
Liverpool's next Premier League opponent is West Ham United.

Before this game, most of this round of the Premier League has been played.

Manchester City, Chelsea were victorious and another Merseyside side beat Arsenal at home.

Arsenal fully used their actual actions to prove how they can compete for the fourth.

Two months ago, they were at the top of the Premier League, and a month later they came to fourth in the Premier League.

And in this four-game battle with Everton, they still lost.

In this way, the point gap between fourth-ranked Arsenal and fifth-ranked Everton is only 1 point.

Arsenal have successfully entered the top four again.

From the first team in the championship to the second team, Arsenal lost their previous points advantage in six games.

Liverpool broke the deadlock in the 44th minute. Suarez picked the ball from the left side of the penalty area and changed direction, resulting in a handball foul by Tomkins. The latter was given a yellow card and Gerrard made a penalty kick.

West Ham equalized in half-time stoppage time, Navas made a save when defending a corner kick, and Demel stabbed into the net from close range.

But replays showed that Carroll waved and patted the goalkeeper's face, and referee Anthony Taylor still ruled that the goal was valid after discussing with the linesman.

Liverpool exceeded again in the 71st minute. Flanagan broke into the left side of the penalty area and was thrown down by Adrian. The latter was warned by a yellow card.Gerrard made another penalty kick, two to one.

Gerrard became the fourth player in Premier League history to score 4 penalties in a single season.And tied with Dalglish with 10 goals and tied for sixth in Liverpool's historical scorer list.

Liverpool's 97 penalty kicks tied Chelsea for the most in Premier League history.

When referee Anthony Taylor blew the whistle to end the game, captain Steven Gerrard clenched his fists and was very excited about the victory.

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard said: "It was a tough game, we had a tough 90 minutes.

The coach told us at half-time that we couldn't change the fact that West Ham scored. Although Carroll obviously fouled first, we played an excellent second half.

We have five games to play and each game will not be easy.We will fight for the league title and if we win against Manchester City next week, we will be more confident. "

After 32 league rounds, the Premier League standings become:
Liverpool, 79 points.

Chelsea, 72 points.

Manchester City, 69 points.

Arsenal, 64 points.

……

Liverpool has won nine consecutive league victories, and will next face Manchester City at home.

Manchester City is now the most optimistic opponent of the English media who can prevent Liverpool from winning the championship.

Manchester City is now two games less, 10 points behind the leader Liverpool, and those two less games are no surprises, Manchester City can win.

In this way, Manchester City is only 4 points behind Liverpool.

And the next direct dialogue between Manchester City and Liverpool, as long as Manchester City can win, then the points gap between Liverpool and Manchester City will only be 1 point.

Although Liverpool still has the initiative to win the championship, as long as Liverpool makes a slight mistake, it may be overtaken by Manchester City.

Of course, Chelsea was not completely abandoned by the English media, because Liverpool played against Chelsea at home afterwards.

Although Chelsea's hope of winning the championship is slim, they can stop Liverpool.

However, Chelsea may not be willing to help Manchester City stop Liverpool, and there is no deep hatred between Liverpool and Chelsea.

On April 4th, Gerrard, the captain of Liverpool, and Henderson, the vice-captain, came to the jersey storage room at the Melwood base and personally ironed the 8th anniversary medal of the Hillsborough tragedy for the next Red Army shirt.

On April 4th, this is the 15th anniversary of the Hillsborough tragedy. On the 25th, in the Premier League, Liverpool will face the title rival Manchester City at Anfield.

……

After the previous match between Liverpool and Tottenham at home, three Liverpool fans from Malaysia who came to watch Liverpool's home game got a signed jersey from Liverpool.

Of course, there is also a name on this jersey, that is Andrew Nari, the chief purser of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.

And this jersey is what Liverpool asked three Liverpool fans in Malaysia to bring to Mayila Nari, who used her strength and optimism to convey hope and positive energy to the world on Twitter.

Mayila Nari thanked Liverpool on Instagram: "Dear Liverpool, I want to let you know that I got a gift from you, 3 Liverpool fans in Malaysia overcame some obstacles to get me this shirt signed by the whole Liverpool team and the manager.

These three fans got autographs during the game against Tottenham.They are flying from Anfield and I feel blessed!

I don't know how to thank you enough, it makes me feel beautiful and true, you will never walk alone.Thank you for this priceless gift, I will have this dress framed.

Dad, this is for you, I bet you are the happiest man in the world right now.I hope that Liverpool will always be at the top of the standings. I hope you can win the league championship for your father and for the fans.

God bless, thank you, I couldn't ask for more. "

Before the game, Mayila Nari cheered for the Red Army by wearing a jersey signed by all Liverpool players presented by Liverpool:
"Liverpool vs. Manchester City tonight, good luck to you guys! Win the game for Dad, no matter the outcome, Dad will always support you!

Dad, whenever you come back, I hope you can wear this jersey, because you will never walk alone, and I know you are smiling. "

Klopp made it clear before the game: "We must turn grief into motivation!"

This round of the Premier League held mourning ceremonies throughout the UK, and all football matches were postponed by 7 minutes to match the time of the Hillsborough tragedy.

The match between Liverpool and Manchester City was played at 13:37 local time.

In addition, all games will have 96 seats vacant, with a rose placed in each vacant seat to mourn those who died in the Hillsborough tragedy.

Ten minutes into the match between Liverpool and Manchester City, a plane flew over Anfield and pulled out a huge banner: "DARE TO DREAM – WILL TO WIN YNWA (DARE TO DREAM – WILL TO WIN YNWA)"

This is a self-funded cheering by a Liverpool fan in Singapore.

In this game (in mainland China), Zhan Jun was in charge of the commentary for the championship match between Liverpool and Manchester City on Sina Sports alone.

There was also a moment of silence before the game.

　It has been written wrong before. Manchester City is now missing two games, not one game.

　　And I also forgot to add the points for the game that Manchester City had less games, but the modification of the VIP chapter is too troublesome, so the previous ones will not be changed.
