1328 Miracle?

Liverpool's recent form has been insanely unbelievable.

Koeman said half-jokingly at the post-match press conference: "I really hope that the team's state can continue until the end of the season without fluctuations. In that case, we will lose a lot!"

The "loss" in his mouth naturally means that if the team encounters a key game later but the state slips, then the team's frantic state will kill Manchester City.

Compared with Koeman's ease, Mancini's post-match press conference was like holding a memorial service.

Mancini took the initiative to take the responsibility after the game. He admitted that he made many mistakes, which led to Liverpool's easy victory at home.

"We didn't get into the game 20 minutes into the game and Liverpool played well in that time. I made a lot of mistakes tonight and that was my fault. The players could have done better but I made a lot of mistakes. Made a mistake. My apologies to the fans because we didn't get into the game until 20 minutes into the game."

"Liverpool came in very quickly, they were very strong at home and we gave them a lot of chances early on. After that we started to get in, but not in the first 20 minutes. This weekend, the other rivals won against us. It was very important to win this game, but now it is important that we forget about this game and get ready for the FA Cup semi-final at the weekend."

Only 16 minutes into the game, Tevez, Manchester City's number one killer, had to be replaced by Balotelli because of a strained ligament.

Mancini confirmed that if there is no miracle, Tevez will definitely miss the FA Cup semi-final against his old club Manchester United.

"That's his ligament problem, I think it's going to be very difficult for him to play on Saturday. We only have five days to prepare before the semi-final and we hope Tevez will play, but he'll probably be out for two weeks .”

Other matches in the same round ended early.

Manchester United beat Fulham 2-0 at home.

Chelsea beat Wigan Athletic 1-0 at home.

Arsenal beat Blackpool 3:1 away.

After 32 rounds.The competition for the Champions League in the standings has changed.

Liverpool 78 points.

Manchester United 66 points.

Arsenal 62 points.

Chelsea 59 points.

Manchester City 57 points.

Tottenham 53 points.

There are still 6 rounds left in the league. The competition between Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Tottenham has become the biggest attraction in the final stage of the Premier League.

With Suarez's excellent form after integrating into Liverpool, Fleet Street exclaimed: Who is Torres? !

When Torres was sent away in the winter transfer window, fans were still questioning the decision of the Liverpool board of directors, but more than three months later.People quickly forget that Torres who has almost disappeared at Stamford Bridge, Liverpool made a lot of money in this deal!

The second round of the Champions League quarter-finals followed.

Koeman led the team to Ukraine. In the pre-match press conference, because Liverpool had a huge lead, the total score of 6:1 was definitely difficult for Shakhtar Donetsk. Koeman did not evade this point .

"We have a big lead. This allows us to face tomorrow's game more easily, but we will still be vigilant to avoid becoming the biggest joke in the history of the Champions League."

If Liverpool is overturned, it will definitely be recorded in history and will be mentioned repeatedly by fans for a long time. This will be a shameful event, and Koeman must try to avoid this anyway.

So he will Qin Xiong.Gerrard, Alonso and other main players have been brought in, in case the situation on the court shows signs of unfavorable signs, they will be dispatched in time to control the situation.

Shakhtar Donetsk is very pessimistic here, although the head coach said before the game that he would do his best to win.It showed the strength of Ukrainian football, but the European media did not pay attention to the fighting spirit of Shakhtar Donetsk, it was just a dying struggle.

On the evening of April 4, Shakhtar Donetsk's home court was not full.

Even if the opponent is the Red Army Liverpool, which is famous in Europe, the Ukrainian fans seem to be less interested.

The disastrous defeat in the first round made the second round lose suspense. The pain from a week ago has not been healed, and only a very few people still walked into the stadium with a firm New Year to cheer for their beloved team.

Shakhtar Donetsk is naturally the main force.Liverpool have reservations.

Back from injury, he made his debut and cooperated with Raul to tackle tough problems.

Teenagers Sterling, Tiot, Meirelles.Mascherano formed the midfield.

Aurelio, Ag.Carragher and Kelly formed Liverpool's back line.

In today's game, Koeman gave most of the main players a rest.

After the start of the game, Shakhtar Donetsk attacked wildly, while Liverpool played a defensive counterattack honestly.

Perhaps because they didn't adapt to the climate in Eastern Europe, Liverpool did not perform well after the start, with many mistakes in passing and receiving. In the 21st minute of the game, Shakhtar Donetsk tore through Liverpool's defense on the right.

Douglas Costa single-handedly made a surprise dribble and cut inside to break through Aurelio and then cut to the bottom line. He swept the ball to the goal. Adriano, who was outflanking the ball in the middle, took a shot and was blocked by Reina, but he followed up. But Judson made a supplementary shot and blasted the ball into the goal.

Shakhtar Donetsk pulled a goal back at home. After scoring the goal, it seemed that Shakhtar Donetsk's army was boosted and their morale was even stronger.

After the crazy attack, they did not expect that Liverpool's winger Sterling had good personal ability. In a long-distance attack, Sterling advanced the offensive for almost 40 yards and then passed the ball back to the top of the penalty area. Reles then plugged in and sent a through ball to Dirk.

He chose a selfless cross pass for the single-handed ball from Dirk to the goal.

Raul outflanked the goal in the middle and scored an empty goal.

Liverpool equalized in the 30th minute of the game.

Shakhtar Donetsk felt a little helpless.

But they continued to attack wildly. At Anfield, they had already lost all their bodies, and even their dignity remained in England.

If they can't play with momentum when they return to the home court, then this will have a huge impact on their own self-esteem.

Before the end of the first half, Srna cooperated with Costa from the wing and made a pass from the bottom. Adriano scored a header in the penalty area and succeeded!

Carragher's explosive power has declined, and he can't keep up with the man at critical moments. Agger's starting position is not good, and he is powerless to block.

During the intermission, Koeman encouraged the team. At present, with a total score of 7:3, Liverpool still has a huge advantage. As long as the opponent does not score four goals in the second half, then Liverpool's advancement to the Champions League semi-finals is a sure thing.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Liverpool paid more attention to defense, while Shakhtar Donetsk continued to strengthen their offense. They raced against time to create an offensive, trying to complete a miracle that everyone thought was impossible. (to be continued~^~)
