Football’s First Defender

After winning 6 consecutive victories, Liverpool still have an advantage in the standings, but this advantage is quite unobvious.

Liverpool, who had one less round, accumulated 70 points before the start of the 32nd round, leading the league.

But behind him, Chelsea's 69 points and Manchester City's 66 points, which had two fewer matches, all pose a huge threat to Liverpool.

That's right, this wave of Liverpool's winning streak did not open much of the gap for the team, but just to throw away Arsenal, who had fallen behind, more and more.

In terms of scoring efficiency, in the games after the New Year, Manchester City won all but one draw and one loss, one less game than Liverpool, but the same score as Liverpool scored.

The Premier League this season, the final championship competitiveness is much better than any previous season.

After the start of the new year, the three giant teams have shown quite strong competitiveness.

Although the Liverpool team's player reserves are not as deep as their opponents, but with the voluntary abandonment of multiple competitions, Liverpool does not have too many physical disadvantages.

Although Manchester City was eliminated by Barcelona in the first round of the Champions League knockout round, the English League Cup reached the final and finally won the FA Cup. It can be said that in the domestic Cup, Manchester City invested more than Liverpool. Energetic.

As for Chelsea, first draw the underdog Galatasaray in the Champions League, after entering the quarter-finals, and then meet the same unconventional giants Paris Saint-Germain, it is no problem to reach the Champions League semi-finals without accident.

At that time, Mu Bird has the hope of competing for the Champions League. Whether to concentrate on the Champions League or to look forward to Liverpool and Manchester City making mistakes at the same time, reversing the two giants and winning the Premier League title, how to choose is self-evident.

But in any case, the entire Premier League title competition, in the last few rounds, must become very interesting.

However, in the early game of the 32nd round, Chelsea, who had a Champions League mission in the middle of the week, showed considerable abandonment of the league.

On the away scene against Crystal Palace, which is still under pressure to relegation, Chelsea lost the game 0 to 1 as an away. With Liverpool and Manchester City’s recent crazy grab points, Chelsea’s loss in this game has almost announced that the team has withdrawn from the championship. At least it is at an absolute disadvantage.

On the second day of Manchester City's game, this round of away games with Arsenal drew 1-1, two rounds less, the points came to 67 points.

The draw of this strong match only slightly affected Manchester City's scoring rhythm.

As far as the subsequent schedule is concerned, even if there are two rounds of make-up matches, it will have a huge impact on Manchester City's physical fitness.

However, after Manchester City played against Arsenal, in addition to the direct match with Liverpool, basically, there is no too strong opponent, and they can easily score points to the greatest extent.

Liverpool's schedule is relatively difficult.

Faced with Tottenham, one of the six giants in this round, it will be a double red club in which no one knows the result in the mid-week supplement.

After another two games, they will have to face Manchester City's championship matchup, as well as a direct match with Chelsea.

Four strong dialogues are very likely to cause Liverpool to lose more points. If Manchester City seize the opportunity to play directly, it might not be impossible to complete a major comeback.

However, among the four giants, Tottenham, who played first, was beaten as hellokiity directly at Anfield.

This season, I traded a big king for a bunch of "6, 7, 8" Tottenham. It's okay to abuse the dish. It is a terrible loss to play strong dialogue.

Before, at White Hart Lane, Liverpool had a disastrous defeat. After returning to Anfield, Tottenham still wanted to set up a defensive formation and struggle.

However, for Tottenham players, a failed season and the last few league rounds without goals have been unable to mobilize all their attention.

In the face of the momentum of Liverpool, which is still sitting at home, the speed of Tottenham's defeat is no different from other mid-lower teams.

Less than two minutes after the start of the game, Sterling took the ball on the right side of the stadium, facing Glen Johnson, who was on the side. Sterling made a diagonal through ball, giving Glen Johnson enough room to accelerate.

The latter kept the ball and passed the ball into the penalty area directly before going out of the baseline.

In the face of the pressure of Suarez and Sturridge, the Tottenham defender Kabul was in front of the goal and accidentally committed an own goal.

Spurs deserved to be the team with the most conceded goals due to their own mistakes among the Premier League teams this season, and they gave Liverpool an early gift at the beginning.

Spurs, who fell behind at the beginning, are even more inadequate.

The defense of the two sides is always penetrated by a through ball from Liverpool's midfield.

Sturridge and Sterling were given a full opportunity to create threats on the wing.

Wiltonghen's injury in the 20th minute of the game made Tottenham's defense even worse.

Dawson, who came off the bench, gave Liverpool another gift as soon as he came on the field.

The return pass error was keenly caught by Suarez at the front.

Intercepting the pass from Dawson to Cabourg, speeding up the defense of Cabourg directly, facing the attacking Lori, Suarez shot low with his left foot from a small angle, extending the score to 2-0.

This goal is also the 29th goal that Suarez has scored in the Premier League this season.

The terrifying scoring efficiency also allowed Suarez to break Fowler's single-season Premier League team history record.

Today Tottenham did not show a giant team at all and their concentration on the game.

In the 40th minute of the game, Kabul made a mistake in stopping the ball on the left side of the line, and Sterling completed a steal in the frontcourt.

Although the ball is close to the bottom line, Liverpool's frontcourt still has a 3 to 2 advantage.

Stirling, who advanced a few steps along the bottom line, made a cross to the back point and found Suarez who had inserted it.

It's just a pity that Suarez's header was blocked by Lori flying, which caused the ball to change direction. In the end, he just hit the crossbar and failed to score.

In the whole game, perhaps the easiest thing was the back line led by Yang Feng~www.readwn.com~ Let alone Tottenham’s organization of offenses, even counterattacks, Tottenham did not organize several times.

In this game, Spurs put on the look of letting you beat, and the counterattack is really limited.

Taking into account that there will be a double red club with Manchester United in the middle of the week.

Rogers still asked the team to continue to strengthen the offense during the halftime, and try to resolve the battle 70 minutes before giving the team a better rest.

The 52nd minute of the game.

Sterling and Coutinho played a wonderful match.

First, the through plug sent by Kuniao allowed Sterling's speed to be fully utilized, creating a huge threat to the opponent's ribs.

Later, after Sterling stopped the ball, Ku Bird's edge was inserted, and under the guidance of Sterling's through ball, he took advantage of a diagonal run without the ball to get a shot in the penalty area.

Facing the attacking goalkeeper Lori, Coutinho passed the ball directly to the penalty spot, followed by Henderson, pushed the empty goal, 3-0, Liverpool completely killed the suspense of the game.

Two minutes later, after Tottenham’s rare offensive was organized, Liverpool’s counterattack followed.

Coutinho ran for tens of meters with the ball alone, after the striker trident, scattered without the ball, put pressure on Tottenham’s defense.

Coutinho, who dribbled the ball, took advantage of the through ball that the defender was afraid of giving his teammates, and directly got the space for the outside kick.

A piercing arrow, hanging straight to the upper left corner of the goal, Lori can do nothing, 4 to 0!

Less than 60 minutes into the game, Liverpool can already call it a day to celebrate.

Liverpool, who stayed physically strong in the middle of the week and beat Manchester United, has been "sharing" possession with Tottenham for more than 30 minutes, and everyone has no intention of fighting again.

In the end, Liverpool won a big victory at home and achieved 7 consecutive victories in the league. At the same time, it also passed the first hurdle of the devil's schedule.
