Football’s First Defender

After the 37th round of the league, all the suspense in the Premier League has been revealed.

And the end of all this suspense, when the last round of the league came, also focused all the media attention on the match between Manchester United and West Bromwich Albion.

This will be Ferguson's 1,500th game in charge of Manchester United and the last game of Ferguson's coaching career.

In the last round of the game, Ferguson's curtain call at Old Trafford, the media popularity was actually much higher than that of the Premier League's four-group match.

And in this last game, the entire Premier League and the whole world are focused on this, focusing on the battle of the 72-year-old man's retirement.

In this game, there were not many competitive factors interfering, so although almost everyone thought before the game, the Manchester United soldiers would use a victory as Ferguson's parting gift.

Manchester United used a unique style of game to make the final result of such a game equally impressive.

With a big score of 5 to 5, Manchester United and their opponents West Bromwich Albion completely gave up defense in this game and played against each other, contributing a feast of goals for fans all over the world.

Although Ferguson did not leave a victory as a gift for his curtain call, but Ferguson's coaching history has left enough wonderful things for countless people to taste.

The rebellious Cantona, the high-spirited "Class of 92", or Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the leaders in world football, the miracle of the reversal of the Champions League that year, and the glorious dynasty of Manchester United in the Premier League era.

Ferguson left too many memories for the Red Devils fans, and also left enough legends in world football.

His parting, for the Premier League, is also the end of an era.

Of course, in this parting mood, the one with the least sense of substitution may still be Liverpool.

The establishment of the Manchester United dynasty overturned the former throne of Liverpool.

Liverpool has been suppressed for more than 20 years, and now with the retirement of Ferguson, it may be another opportunity for English football to reshuffle its forces.

In recent seasons, Liverpool, which has been in the limelight, will undoubtedly have the opportunity to compete for the first Premier League championship trophy in team history in the post-Ferguson era.

Unlike Manchester United in the away game, the players on both sides let themselves go under the influence of Ferguson's parting emotions.

In the final game of the league, Liverpool sat at their own Anfield Stadium, facing the bottom of the league, Queens Park Rangers, who had already secured a place for relegation in advance.

The Liverpool soldiers still plan to take a game out of their minds and give back to the fans watching the game with a big victory.

Of course, in the absence of performance pressure, although the team has a correct attitude, this kind of actual combat atmosphere that has nothing to do with performance is also the most conducive stage for the growth of young players.

Not only did Wisdom regain the chance to start, Rogers also boldly sent another youth player, Jordan Ibe, to play the left winger position.

Continue to let Sturridge play the center forward, while Sterling also starts to play the right winger.

In the front of the midfield, Coutinho, who has been in excellent form recently, started. In this game, Rodgers sent an extremely young starter to attack the four-man team.

17-year-old Jordan Ibe, 20-year-old Coutinho, 23-year-old Sturridge, 18-year-old Sterling.

For such a young offensive player, except for Jordan Ibe who made his first appearance in the new season and needs to prove himself, the performance of the remaining three players this season is remarkable.

This also means that if this lineup can be further developed, it can fully support Liverpool's offensive firepower in the next 10 years. Of course, everything is for Liverpool to retain these players.

However, with the current trend of Liverpool getting better and better, Liverpool fans believe that the team's charm and background can be a good reason for players to stay behind.

With double midfielders, Rodgers sent Lucas and Henderson.

In the last game of the season, Rodgers arranged for veterans like Gerrard to take a truce to prepare for next season.

By the way, Carragher, who had already planned to retire after the end of this season and has already verbally agreed with Sky Sports to commentate next season, has such a good prospect in Liverpool and the team's retention, Still decided to continue to struggle for a year and stay in the team with a very low salary, all for the long-awaited Premier League championship trophy.

Experienced veterans, coupled with young enough and energetic young talents.

Liverpool now only needs to keep the team's core framework during the offseason and make appropriate reinforcements. Next season will definitely have a chance to compete for the Premier League championship trophy.

Play the last game of the season first.

Jordan Ibe's Premier League debut did not appear too tense.

It is enough to do a good job of supporting both offense and defense on the left wing.

The team's main offensive starting points are Coutinho in the center and Sterling on the right.

In fact, Liverpool's young lineup, because of the young left-sided combination of Wisdom and Jordan Ibe, the threat from the left is actually quite limited, which is equivalent to a half-lame lineup. Strengthening the defense on the right should still be able to defend well.

However, as the first team to be relegated, the atmosphere in the entire QPR team is actually not good, and the players are emotional.

Many players have actually found their next home, and they are just waiting for the transfer period to leave the quagmire of QPR. At this time, they will not work hard. After all, if they are injured, they may not get a good contract after leaving the team.

One is the vigorous rising period, and the other is the low period when people's hearts fluctuate. On the field, even though Liverpool's offensive cooperation is not very smooth, facing QPR's scumbag defense, Liverpool's offense still scored the first goal.

A debut assist from young Jordan Ibey.

Without any sense of tension on the field, Jordan Ibe dared to express himself after receiving the ball in the game, showing his breakthrough ability on the wing.

Facing the QPR full-backs, who were not closely defending, Jordan Ibey made a false move from the bottom to usher in the space for himself to cut in, and then completed the handling of the ball, short pass, and the ball before the opponent's help defense was in place. Hand it over to Sturridge who came over from the running position.

Sturridge followed up with a strong shot and opened the scoring for Liverpool.

The QPR players, who had no fighting intentions, seemed to be defeated after conceding the ball first.

In the first half, QPR's defense was poured into 3 goals, Sturridge scored twice in the half, and Coutinho shot another cloud-piercing arrow in the middle.

Although Sturridge wanted to complete another hat-trick in the second half, QPR's defensive players didn't want their worth to be lost by Sturridge in this way, so they carried out targeted defense against Sturridge.

Another 6 to 0.

In the second half, with Sturridge's "containment", Henderson, Sterling, and Coutinho scored twice, Liverpool once again scored a 6-0 score at home, sending QPR to relegation last leg.

And Anfield fans, in the last game of the season, appreciated the team's super offensive firepower.

With a big home win and a third-place finish in the league, Liverpool ended the season.

It has to be said that the team once again dug a hole in the early stage of the league, so that even if the team scored a lot of points in the later stage, it was just filling the hole for the early stage.

However, the painful period for Rogers to change his tactics has obviously passed after the signing of the winter window.

Although all the big four are empty this season, it is still a good record to grab a seat in the Champions League under the situation where the six giants are competing for supremacy.

As for the fans, now they only hope that the team can maintain stability and get closer to the league results next season.
