Football’s First Defender

In the last round of the Premier League, the relegation situation at the end of the league fell into a "crowd of bears". As many as 4 teams "competed" for two relegation places. It is still unclear who will leave the Premier League.

However, this season, it is destined that the final relegation battle of the Premier League will not be so attractive. The focus of everyone's attention is on the top of the league standings, on top of the championship battle between Liverpool and Manchester City.

Liverpool has an impressive unbeaten record of 37 rounds this season. In the games against many giants, they have achieved quite good positive records, but in the end they are only 2 points ahead of Manchester City.

Manchester City's excellent ability to "abuse food" ensured that they scored more points than Liverpool in the second half of the league, kept the suspense of the championship until the last moment, and put a certain amount of pressure on Liverpool players to win the championship.

If Liverpool really made a big mistake in the last home game, then Manchester City will once again be able to stage a magical reversal performance in the last moments of the Premier League.

However, Liverpool has been waiting for this league championship for too long, so for this championship, Liverpool people are more eager than Manchester City, which just won the championship last season.

24 years of time, a generation of waiting, this season in the league standings, Liverpool, triumphantly, did not allow themselves to make mistakes at the last moment.

When the Newcastle players who came to Anfield as guests set foot on this field, they felt a strong "murderous aura"!

This kind of "murderous look" permeated the stadium, not only the rival Liverpool players looked at their own eyes, but also the coaches, staff, and tens of thousands of Liverpool fans around the stadium all made Newcastle feel the pressure.

Today's Anfield stadium is full of seats, from the elderly to the young children who are babbling, and many families of Liverpool fans who have passed down tens of hundreds of years, poured into the stadium to watch this game, which may change A game in Liverpool history.

The singing of "You will never walk alone" echoed in the stadium. For Liverpool fans, they can only dedicate their "voices" before the game to cheer for the team with all their strength.

If the team can easily win the championship at the expense of their "voice", then they think it will be worth it.

Liverpool played against the mid-range team Newcastle at home, while their opponent Manchester City faced the Hammers to help West Ham United.

The last round of the match started at the same time. For Liverpool, they had to directly gain the initiative at the beginning of the game. They had to rely on offense to quickly score goals and take the lead, so that their opponents had no chance to pose a substantial threat to their championship.

Liverpool need goals, and more goals, to establish their lead.

They need a victory to ensure their championship.

In the last round of the game, Henderson finally returned from injury, catching up with the team's final championship campaign.

The striker combination of 3s, the attacking midfielder composed of Coutinho, Gerrard, and Henderson, the defense has not changed, and it is still the long-term starting five.

Newcastle in the away game, no matter how terrifying the atmosphere at Anfield, or whether they can "live" out of Anfield, but Newcastle still has the idea of ​​smashing the field.

This kind of opportunity that can determine the direction of the championship in one battle, Newcastle intends to show themselves in front of countless fans.

The formation of 451 shows Newcastle's defensive attitude towards this game.

Even though Newcastle, which ranks 9th in the league, is also a team with no desires and desires, but if the "little people" can really decide the fate of the "big people", they can really complete the blocking of Liverpool and help Manchester City win the championship. , Others recalled the 13/14 season, and they also couldn't avoid Newcastle, the team that gave Liverpool a heavy blow.

Newcastle's away record this season is pretty good, with an unbeaten rate of about 50%. The team is good at defense and has a fairly strong counterattack ability, making it not easy for Liverpool to easily gnaw this hard bone.

At the beginning of the game, Liverpool's strong offensive ability began to show.

Not to mention firmly occupying the initiative on the field, Newcastle's non-rich back line, facing the repeated attacks of Liverpool players, seems a little jittery.

In the 10th minute of the game, Liverpool played a wonderful pass and cut cooperation in the frontcourt.

Coutinho, who crossed into the penalty area, received a direct pass from midfielder Henderson, and was almost dragged directly by the Newcastle defenders at the rear.

Countless fans on the scene have already shouted "penalty kick", but the referee did not "see", although Coutinho passed the ball before losing his balance and let Suarez in the penalty area complete a round The foot hits the goal at close range.

But after the favorable attack, the kick did not score. Then Coutinho's fall in the penalty area before, if a penalty kick was awarded, would Liverpool have taken the lead easily?

Liverpool fans are very dissatisfied with the referee. They believe that the referee's unfavorable penalty is partial to the visiting team Newcastle.

If something goes wrong with the referee in this game and affects Liverpool's winning cause, then the Liverpool fans at the scene will definitely go crazy.

As for the direction of the game, it was not bad for Liverpool afterwards. Liverpool, who had the advantage, was only short of a goal that reassured everyone.

But the referee steals the spotlight again at this time.

In the 16th minute of the game, Suarez was directly brought down by the opponent's defender when he was pulling the side from the right side of the front court.

Suarez, who was sitting on the ground, watched the opponent's defensive players slowly adjust the position of the wall, especially the goalkeeper of Newcastle, in order to allow his teammates to block the most possible direct shot route, he was in the penalty area. Sheng shouted to the Newcastle players to stand in their positions according to his request.

"good chance!"

Suarez looked at the position of the opponent's goalkeeper, and suddenly got up. When the opponent could not react in time, Suarez kicked up directly, and lobbed a shot from the right to directly attack the goal.

Newcastle's goalkeeper was too far ahead. When Suarez unexpectedly completed a fast free kick, he was too slow to retreat.

Suarez showed an excellent forward with excellent basic skills. He almost swung his legs on the spot to complete the goal. The ball still accurately drew a parabola in the air, and then almost touched the crossbar and flew into the goal.

What is a top star? For shooting training in various positions, Suarez has been investing a lot of sweat in private in order to achieve today's achievements.

Liverpool scored!

Suarez watched the goal and directly celebrated passionately!

"Beep beep—"

But after running two steps, before the celebration of all Liverpool members started, the referee stopped the game and signaled that the goal was invalid!

And asked Liverpool to wait for his whistle and resend the free kick.

"Black whistle! Black whistle! Black whistle!"

If we talk about Coutinho’s suspected penalty kick before, because the game went on very fast, the fans on the scene were only a little excited without replays, but this time Suarez had already lobbed the goal, but was rejected by the referee This blows it off.

Fans, don't care about some ambiguous rules, they will only think that the home team has already scored the goal, but the referee directly blows it away.

The Anfield stadium was full of "black whistle" curses. Less than 20 minutes into the game, Liverpool's two excellent opportunities failed because of the referee's factors.

The referee messed up the situation, what are Liverpool's chances of winning the championship?
