After the game, the Liverpool players just had a brief celebration feast to celebrate Gerrard's history-making performance today.

But everyone has a tacit understanding not to play too late, because three days later, Liverpool will play the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. Liverpool is on the rise, and every player cherishes the opportunity to play on the field. , I want to do my best for the team better.

Even Maxi, who always likes to enjoy off-court life, did not drink a drop tonight. Everyone kept in mind Dalglish's strict requirements and looked forward to getting more chances to play in the future. In the end, contribute your own strength.

In the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, Liverpool met Stoke City, the city of sky.

Liverpool, which is lucky, is another home draw.

Although the Merseyside Derby three days ago was exhausting, but relying on the lead in hard power and Yang Feng's superb performance in the backcourt, Liverpool, who were playing at home, still managed to pass the test with a score of 2 to 1!

Unlike the last Premier League game, relying on Gerrard to score goals and relying on offense to win the game is different.

In this game, Liverpool, whose midfield defense was obviously not strong enough, was attacked by Stoke City, who was playing away, and scored the goal with a long-range shot.

Liverpool, which could only attack with all their strength, entrusted the entire defense line to Yang Feng.

Fortunately, Yang Feng played extremely well in this game. In the face of many consecutive threatening counterattacks from Stoke City, Yang Feng was calm and unhurried, using reasonable command and personal excellent defensive response, one by one Stoke City's counterattack was resolved.

Relying on the strong performance of the back line, Liverpool's offensive players in the frontcourt, filled with enough offensive manpower, carried out wave after wave of attacks.

Finally, before the end of the first half, Tangning tied the score with a kick from the penalty area.

Liverpool in the second half, since the score returned to the same starting line, could make more stable offensive choices.

With Carroll's header to score, Liverpool finally won the final 2-1.

When Yang Feng defended the opponent's counterattack throughout the game, he restricted the opponent's speed player Fuller. During the set-piece defense, Yang Feng successfully defended the opponent's high center forward Waters.

In addition to the long-range goal at the beginning of the game, Stoke City created many offensive threats on the scene in the subsequent counterattack, but in actual effect, the formation of threatening shots was extremely limited.

In the selection of the best player after the game, Yang Feng, who made many key interceptions and had a 100% success rate for headers in this game, became the biggest contributor to Liverpool's well-deserved victory.

After all, if it weren't for Yang Feng's outstanding performance, they might not have waited for Tangning's goal before halftime, and Liverpool would have fallen behind by two goals, or even three goals in the midst of counterattacks.

Liverpool, which has successfully reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup, with the momentum of six consecutive victories in all competitions, went to the away game to challenge Queens Park Rangers in the 29th round of the league in the evening of midweek!

QPR, which is in the bottom three and only one point away from the relegation zone, no matter who the opponent is, taking advantage of the home court, QPR will launch a fierce attack as soon as it comes up!

With the sprint stage of the last ten rounds of the Premier League, the championship team is not easy to mess with, the four teams are not easy to mess with, and the relegation team is also not easy to mess with.

This is exactly the wonderful thing about the Premier League, there are surprises and surprises everywhere.

Although the strengths and weaknesses are distinct, weak teams are not without the ability to fight back.

Due to the restraint of two domestic cup games, Liverpool, who played double matches for a week in a row, showed some obvious physical weakness in this game.

At the end of the crossbow, you can't wear Lu Jin!

Facing the home team players who have enough time to prepare for the game, the Liverpool players are at an absolute disadvantage in today's game.

The team's entire defense in the middle was dismantled by the opponent's running around!

Even though Yang Feng relied on his personal ability to complete several successful personal defenses, he still couldn't complete all the defenses in the face of the huge loopholes caused by his teammates in front of him.

In the 27th minute of the game, relying on the strong impact from the wing, QPR formed an offensive suppression on the left.

Martin Kelly, who started the game, made a fatal mistake in the face of the impact of his opponent's left winger Tarbert.

Martin Kelly, who was shaken by Tarbert's sudden stop, gave up his defensive position, and was cut inside by Tarbert.

Afterwards, before Yang Feng's supplementary defense was in place, Talbot directly made a successful shot with one kick, leaving Reina, who was in the forward position, no chance to save.

QPR took a 1-0 lead at home.

Amidst the cheers from the fans, the players of the home team became more relaxed and played more freely.

On the contrary, the Liverpool players, affected by their physical fitness, made many mistakes in the first half of the game, causing many unnecessary mistakes and conceding the ball, and the opponent had the opportunity to counterattack directly.

With the opponent's quick counterattack after a steal, in a 3-on-3 situation, facing Yang Feng's defense, the opponent's midfielder decisively chose to pass the ball instead of giving Yang Feng a chance to rush forward to complete the defense.

As Yang Feng's personal strength has been recognized by all Premier League teams, this operation of first using the ball holding point to actively find Yang Feng and then pass the ball out in the counterattack is recognized by most teams.

With a through ball from the middle, the home team's striker Seth got rid of Skrtel by relying on his speed. After getting the pass from the right side of the penalty area, he directly volleyed and hit the goal, extending the score advantage to QPR. 2 balls.

In the second half of the game, although Dalglish wanted to rely on substitutions to restore the team's offensive state, but the entire team's offensive players were not out of state, but almost all of them had more or less problems .

In the second half of the game, although Liverpool's offense has changed, it is still far from the offensive performance of the previous games.

Although in the 76th minute, Spilling, who came off the bench, scored a goal, giving Liverpool players hope of an equalizer.

But then, taking advantage of Liverpool's mad attack and the empty back defense, Liverpool's defense was once again directly penetrated by the opponent's dribble from the second half.

In defense, Yang Feng is good at defending the long pass when the opponent counterattacks, but in this game, although the speed of advancing on the ground is not as fast as the long pass, but due to the loopholes in Liverpool's central defense, the home team QPR directly go on the ground To counterattack, but not too much defensive interference.

On the contrary, it can limit Yang Feng's defensive advantage.

Just like this time, with the advance of the counterattack on the ground, Yang Feng could only effectively defend one person, and after Yang Feng's defense passed the ball in advance according to the tactics, Yang Feng's defensive effect was completely weakened.

With Seth scoring twice in this game, the score on the field became 3-1 again, and the home team still has a two-goal lead.

With time running out, the Liverpool players did not have the physical strength to support the final counterattack.

3 to 1, after Yang Feng came back, Liverpool lost for the first time in the game against the underdogs, contributing valuable three points for QPR to relegation.

The suspension of six consecutive victories in various competitions has also further eroded Liverpool's lead in the fourth place in the standings. The last ten rounds of the Premier League are still full of variables.
