After the FIFA match day, Koeman observed the physical condition of the returning players. He got relatively poor medical data and training data. Most of the team's main players are not in ideal physical condition.

Also considering that the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals will be ushered in next week, he will hide important main players.

Liverpool challenged Hodgson's West Brom as a guest at the Hawthorns in the 31st round of the Premier League.

Liverpool, who sent many substitute players on the field, performed poorly at the Hawthorns.

Suarez handed over the data of 10 of 1 shots. In the end, Liverpool lost 1:2 to West Brom in the away game, which broke out a big upset.

After the game, Koeman did not criticize the team, but relieved the players, saying that it was just a normal loss.

Before he attended the post-match press conference, he held a 20-minute team meeting in the locker room to analyze the reasons for the defeat with the players on the spot.

Including hiding the main force, most of the team's international players are consumed during FIFA match days. For example, Suarez's trip to and from South America and Europe not only consumes a lot of travel, but also has to adjust to jet lag.

The only thing that worries Koeman is that Dirk was injured during the game. His diagnosis has not yet come out, and the future games will be very critical. Koeman does not want any more losses in the team lineup.

At the post-match press conference, Koeman took responsibility for the loss, but also said that the team now pays more attention to the Champions League. This is a "price that must be paid for a rational choice"!

Liverpool want to go all out for the Champions League and want to maintain the momentum of winning the league. Sorry, the intensity of the Premier League is unimaginable, and things will never develop ideally.

In the same round, Manchester United defeated West Ham United 4:2 in the away game and successfully scored all 3 points.

Chelsea were held to a 1-1 draw by Stoke City.

Arsenal staged a 22-for-0 poor performance at the Emirates Stadium, and finally shook hands with Blackburn 0:0.

Manchester City beat Sunderland 5-0 at home.

In the competition for Champions League qualification.Manchester United has been considered to be able to stably get the Champions League tickets for next season, and the remaining two tickets will be contested by Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City.

Arsenal's continuous loss of points without the Champions League mission made Gunners fans start to worry. Chelsea's focus on the Champions League is understandable. Ancelotti's team is about to fight a British civil war.

However, Manchester City only needs to worry about the domestic front of the FA Cup. It is still their first goal to focus on the league and win a Champions League ticket.

After 31 rounds.The competition between the third and fifth places in the standings is still fierce. Tottenham have a chance to take a step forward this round, but after they drew 0:0 with Wigan Athletic in the away game, they missed the best opportunity.

Liverpool 75 points.

Manchester United 63 points.

Arsenal 59 points.

Manchester City 57 points.

Chelsea 56 points.

Tottenham 50 points.

......

The first round of the Champions League quarter-finals came as scheduled, and the news that Shakhtar Donetsk came to Liverpool City did not cause much sensation.

They are not a traditional strong team in the Champions League, and now they are more like a dark horse.

The day before the game.Koeman emphasized at the pre-match press conference: "Shakhtar Donetsk's ability to reach the quarter-finals represents their strength. Liverpool's goal is to defend the Champions League. Now we must correct our mentality. Shakhtar Donetsk, Manchester United Or Chelsea, and then the final, if we are going to the final. There are only two opponents standing in our way. This time is not a time to compare the team's history and strength of the team. It is a simple reality. Who stops me I will kill whoever is on my way!"

Koeman, who had shown his humility and low-key attitude for most of the season, suddenly became hardened, as if seeing Shakhtar Donetsk's weakness and bullying, he put on a posture. In fact, Liverpool also needs such a posture. Liverpool is not afraid of any opponent. Then In the external posture, it is necessary to make a little more publicity!

The coach of Shakhtar Donetsk also said at the pre-match press conference: "Liverpool is very strong, one of the three strongest teams in Europe. It is an unfortunate result that we drew Liverpool, but football has everything. Maybe, just as no one expected us to qualify from the group. We qualified, no one expected us to reach the quarter-finals. We came to Anfield and tomorrow we will give everything to win!"

In the evening of the next day, the sea breeze in the spring night made Liverpool extraordinarily enchanting, and the stars and moonlight all over the sky illuminated the city, which was charming.

The starting players of Liverpool and Shakhtar Donetsk walked into the stadium together, and the deafening noise stirred everyone's hearts.

Lined up in the stadium, every player that the camera scanned had a different expression. For example, Qin Xiong had a calm expression, but his slightly raised chin made him stand out in terms of temperament.

"Welcome to England's Anfield Stadium. This is the live broadcast of the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. We will broadcast live the first round of the quarter-finals between Liverpool and Shakhtar Donetsk at the home court of the defending champion Liverpool." Round game.

The defending champion Liverpool's two-round double-kill against AC Milan in the 1/8 finals made the whole of Europe tremble!

Powerful offensive firepower, diverse tactical changes, the topic that was discussed last year still has no answer this year: how to restrain Liverpool?

Will Shakhtar Donetsk work miracles?

They have just completed a feat in Rome, eliminated the traditional powerhouse Roma in the 1/8 finals, and now they have come to Anfield again.

It is undeniable that Shakhtar Donetsk has many talented and capable players, and their performance deserves people to remember the names of these players.

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

The defending champion Liverpool, who sits at home, started 442.

Goalkeeper: Reina.

Defenders: Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Baines.

Midfield: Alonso, Mascherano, Gerrard, Meireles.

Forwards: Raul, Qin Xiong.

Due to the absence of Dirk due to injury, Liverpool formed a 442 formation. Qin Xiong and Raul teamed up to attack today. It is not known whether Shakhtar Donetsk can withstand the powerful offensive firepower of the Red Army.

Shakhtar Donetsk started with a 4231 formation.

Goalkeeper: Pyatov.

Defenders: Srna, Ishchenko, Rajitsky, Rat.

Midfield: Douglas Costa, Miksitalian, Judson, Fernandinho, Willian.

Forward: Luis Adriano.

Shakhtar Donetsk almost relied on a group of South American players to prop up the attack line, and then Eastern European players propped up the defense line. They have performed amazingly since the beginning of the group stage this season. A total score of 1:8 double play eliminated the Roma team. Will there be a confrontation at Anfield today?let us wait and see! "(To be continued~^~)
