In the second round of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final match at home to Shakhtar Donetsk, Ukraine, Qin Xiong scored the last goal of the game.
Shakhtar Donetsk defeated Liverpool 4:3 at home, but lost to Liverpool 5:9 on aggregate.
Liverpool advanced to the top 4 of the Champions League!
Qin Xiong was asked by reporters in an interview after the game: "At the beginning of the second half, Shakhtar Donetsk once shortened the score gap to 3 goals. They scored 3 goals before. People seem to have seen Donetsk It was a sign of a miracle for the miners, but everything changed after you came on the stage, your performance is the key, isn't it?"
Qin Xiong smiled and said: "The most important thing is that the team has advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League. Liverpool has already advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League after the end of the last round. Today's game is a goal shootout, but Donetsk Shakhtar scored a few goals first, but the overall performance of the team was not as good as before, because we came to the strange Eastern Europe, and we entered the game slowly, which gave Shakhtar Donetsk some opportunities."
Victory belongs to the team. Qin Xiong has always believed in this point. No matter if the media fan the flames or sow dissension, he will not be easily shaken.
Koeman expressed his respect for Shakhtar Donetsk in the post-match press conference.
"One thing that must be considered is that Shakhtar Donetsk's Champions League experience is not rich. If they can show today's performance at Anfield, I believe that the final total score gap will not be so big. We should support Shakhtar Donetsk. applaud."
The Fleet Street reporter in the audience raised his hand and asked: "Liverpool conceded three goals today. Although this is related to the rotation of the lineup, if the team cannot improve their defense, will there be hidden dangers in the future Champions League semi-finals?"
Koman's face darkened, not because he was angry, but because the reporter's question hit the nail on the head.
Yes, Liverpool conceded a goal.And in the Champions League, there are hidden dangers in the defense, which is also related to Liverpool's dedication and investment in offense.
The offensive and defensive system itself cannot be divided into two and viewed separately. Koeman is self-aware and knows the competitive landscape of European football well.
If Liverpool goes further and further on the road of crazy attack, then the restoration of the dynasty will also gradually drift away.
Because the whole world is studying Liverpool, all potential or aboveboard competitors will study and analyze Liverpool in detail.Then the probability of Liverpool encountering Waterloo will be even greater.
"Now it's time for the team to cheer up and pay more attention to defense. Conceding three goals in a game is a sign of losing the championship. We will summarize the game after returning to Liverpool, and then work hard to improve it. It was better in the semi-finals."
Attack wins the game.Defense wins championships.
A team that doesn't pay attention to defense is doomed.
This is the eternal truth of football.
Koeman is well aware of this, so he also unabashedly expressed his views to the media.
Liverpool has reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, and will join Manchester United, who successfully passed the two rounds of double-beating Chelsea with a total score of 3:1, to join the Champions League semi-finals!
The English derby will be staged in the Champions League!
The other half will be El Clasico!
Real Madrid VS Barcelona meet in the semi-finals.
The semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League this season can be described as a spectacle. The famous derby between England and Spain is presented to audiences all over the world at the same time.
After Liverpool returned to the Melwood training base, Koeman and the coaching staff began to improve the team's defense.
Take a long-term view and pay attention to defense when playing against Manchester United to avoid conceding the ball.Because it's very different from the league.
In the league, Liverpool took the lead in the standings when they encountered Manchester United in the first and second half of the league, occupying an inherent advantage, but what about the semi-finals of the Champions League?The two teams were not affected by external factors.
And Manchester United is still a guest before a host.They certainly won't be taking the initiative at Anfield.
If Liverpool passes the level of Manchester United and reaches the final, whether it is facing Barcelona with strong frontal offensive firepower or Real Madrid built by Mourinho, Liverpool's current defensive strength will inevitably make people nervous. The counterattack can be called the top in Europe, comparable to Liverpool!
The weekend is approaching, and the 33rd round of the Premier League is just around the corner.
The most eye-catching game of this round will be Liverpool's visit to the Emirates Stadium to challenge Arsenal.
Liverpool's title defense is yet to be announced, while Arsenal are locked in a fierce battle for a place in the Champions League.
The day before the game.Wenger said at the press conference that he is not afraid of the arrival of Liverpool. The consumption of Liverpool's labor expedition will make them lose their spirits at the Emirates Stadium!
Koeman "thanks" Wenger for his concern at the pre-match press conference.
"If my team is still fighting for a place in the Champions League and the competition is very tight. I will not judge other people's teams because a team that was supposed to be a contender fell out early. .First of all, you should find your own reasons and improve the problem. In any case, thank others for their concern. Liverpool will try their best to welcome this game.”
August 4 afternoon.
The Emirates Stadium is full of seats. Arsenal’s home attendance has always been very good. Even though ticket prices have increased every year, fans in North London still buy it. Although Arsenal have missed the trophy these years, at least they still maintain Wenger To create the appearance of beautiful football.
After the players of the two teams entered the stadium, the hustle and bustle of the scene subsided. Arsenal fans tended to be quiet.
"Welcome to the Emirates Stadium, today is the focus of the 33rd round of the Premier League, Arsenal and the defending champion Liverpool staged a strong dialogue.
Martin - Taylor and Andy - Gray live for you to do live commentary.
First of all, let’s talk about the defending champion Liverpool from afar. The performance of the Red Army in the past few games has surprised the whole of Europe. They have killed many powerful teams one after another. This momentum will continue Has it continued? "
"I don't think it is possible. Such a momentum is actually not uncommon. For example, the two giants in Spain have often played games with big scores and massacres in the past two seasons, and there have been several games in succession. Crazy winning streak, Liverpool's current strength is indeed super strong, but the state cannot remain unchanged forever, but I think the possibility of them losing to a weak team is far greater than the possibility of losing to a strong team! Team matches will make Liverpool more excited, such excitement will maintain their state, on the contrary, playing against weaker teams may lose interest and the state will directly decline."
