Chapter 679 Helping Liverpool
Chapter 679 Helping Liverpool
After the game, Li Yi invited his former disciples to have a meal together. No one refused. After being eliminated from the Champions League and basically hopeless in the league, Real Madrid had no desires.
For the current Real Madrid, they need to wait for the end of the season, wait for the replacement of management, and pin their hopes on the next season.
Calderon's resignation is inevitable, and Florentino's return is even more expected. With Florentino's return, the bank battleship will inevitably restart.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with Li Yi and Leeds United. It's not true. It's also related. Florentino may dig Leeds United after his return, but this is not important to the current Leeds United. Leeds United cares about the draw for the quarterfinals.
Leeds United has always had good luck in domestic cup competitions, and all they encountered were underdogs. But in the Champions League, this situation seems to be completely reversed. They drew Real Madrid in the quarter-finals, and now they are also a strong team in the quarter-finals, but this is a strong team.
It is said that all four teams in the Premier League have entered the quarter-finals this season, which naturally attracted the attention of UEFA. Therefore, in order to curb the Premier League, the quarter-final draws for the Premier League teams actually fought two by two.
In fact, this is also understandable. The Premier League has been very strong in recent years. Manchester United won the Champions League last season, and Liverpool reached the final last season.
Leeds United will face Chelsea again, and Manchester United will fight Arsenal head-to-head, but UEFA has not been mad enough to put them in the same half, so the Premier League may still break into the final.
Among the semi-finals, the Premier League must occupy two seats, and then the opponents in the semi-finals are the winners between Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Porto and Villarreal.
After all, Leeds United's luck is not wrong. Leeds United's half is the winner between Porto and Villarreal. Manchester United and Arsenal are more miserable. Barcelona and Bayern Munich are both top European giants.
Everyone is just watching the Champions League draw, and the game will have to wait until April, so there is no rush. What Leeds United needs to pay attention to is the League Cup final after the ninth round of No. 20 and the 29th round.
Leeds United's No.20 ninth round is at home to Newcastle United, which is in poor condition. It is said that Newcastle United had asked Leeds United to buy Lewandowski during the winter transfer, but was rejected by Li Yi.
It is said that now Lewandowski has become the top choice of Newcastle United's striker. His goals in the league have reached double digits and he is the top scorer in Newcastle United.
This can also be understood why Newcastle United would buy Lewandowski in the winter, but Li Yi is very aware of Lewandowski's potential. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is only half of Lewandowski's potential now.
Leeds United's rejection actually had a certain impact on Lewandowski. Not only is there a big gap between his own player and his non-own player status, but in the end Newcastle United still bowed to reality.
Because Newcastle United's offensive ability without Lewandowski has dropped a lot, so that they lost several games during this period and would not have lost the game.
The match between Leeds United and Newcastle United attracted attention. After all, Leeds United is now the leader of the league. The victory of Leeds United is the final ownership of the league championship.
But if we really want to talk about the focus, this round of the league should be the Double Red Club. Manchester United will welcome Liverpool at Old Trafford at home. The outcome of this game is what people are most concerned about.
Because there is a gap in strength between Leeds United and Newcastle United, and the recent state is also very good or bad, so for the result of the game, most people think that Leeds United will win.
Manchester United and Liverpool are different. Both teams are giants in the Premier League, and they are still ranked second or third. The difference in strength is not big, and anyone is likely to win.
Moreover, the competition between the two teams is also related to this season's championship. If Liverpool wins, then Leeds United will have a greater advantage. If Manchester United wins, then Liverpool has completely lost hope of overtaking Manchester United.
As far as Leeds United are concerned, such a contest is welcome. As for which team to support, it must be Liverpool, because the difference between Liverpool and Leeds United is too large now. If Liverpool can beat Manchester United, it can relieve a lot of pressure on Leeds United.
In fact, Liverpool really did it. At Old Trafford, Liverpool played a game that disappointed Manchester United, although Manchester City scored first.
No. In 203 minutes, Ronaldo created a penalty and then scored by himself, but this goal was also Manchester United's only goal in this game.
And just 5 minutes after Ronaldo scored, Liverpool equalized the score. Torres helped Liverpool equalize the score. In stoppage time in the first half, Liverpool also won a corner kick, which was scored by captain Steven Gerrard to overtake the score.
Being overtaken near the end of the game seemed to have a great blow to Manchester United's morale. After the start of the second half, Liverpool began to suppress Manchester United in an all-round way, and finally rewritten the score to 4:1.
At the end of the game, Manchester United coach Ferguson's face was ashen, and he didn't even appear in the post-match interview. One can imagine how angry this old coach was.
In fact, it is understandable for Ferguson to be angry. With the loss of this game, the point difference between Manchester United and Leeds United is likely to be pulled back to 12 points, and this season's league has also been double-killed by Liverpool.
Ferguson was furious, but Leeds United was overjoyed. But as the head coach, although Li Yi was happy in his heart at this moment, he wanted his disciples to pour cold water on him.
"Liverpool has done us a big favor. Now it's our turn. The opportunity is right in front of us. Whether you can seize it depends on your next performance."
Li Yi said so, and he also made complete preparations, so the next game can already be imagined, and Newcastle United's loss is inevitable.
In the 7th minute of the game, Leeds United scored the goal. Suarez scored No. 17 goals this season. After 10 minutes, Leeds United expanded their lead and Rakitic scored from a long distance.
At the end of the first half, Zabaleta ushered in the first goal of the season, which was also the last score of the first half, and in the second half, Newcastle United recovered a goal with a counterattack.
But this goal did not affect Leeds United's victory, and even Leeds United soon expanded their advantage to three goals again, and finally Leeds United won the game with a score of 4:1 as they wished.
12 points. With this victory of Leeds United, the difference between Leeds United and Manchester United has been pulled back to 12 points. With only 9 rounds left in the league, Leeds United's advantage can be said to be quite large.
