1306 You must be safe

After Liverpool took a 4:0 lead, Koeman decisively made substitutions to preserve his strength.

Gerrard, Qin Xiong, Mascherano were replaced.

Manchester United is attacking from the beginning to the end of today's game. As long as Ferguson doesn't call Mingjin to withdraw from the sidelines, even if the Red Devils are beaten to pieces, they still have to fight Liverpool to the end!

United scored what might have been a face-saving goal thanks to Hernandez's late goal.

The final score was fixed at 4:1.

At the end of the game, the Red Army fans shouted a word in unison at Anfield: Manchester United, come and pay tribute to the champion!

This is something that was discussed privately by the fan organization before the game. Perhaps this cry will be canceled only after Liverpool loses the game at home.

But now Liverpool have won and extended their lead to 15 points!

In this way, there is almost no suspense for Liverpool to successfully defend their title with 9 league rounds left.

Ferguson walked into the player tunnel with an ugly expression, and the handshake with Koeman was just a hasty affair, and the Red Devils generals were a little lost.

They also know that Manchester United's championship only exists in theory. It is true and no exaggeration. Ferguson's previous declaration of hard work has a certain foundation. Once he beats Liverpool at Anfield, the points gap will be shortened from 12 points. At 9 points, it is not impossible to chase 9 points in 9 rounds.

But the ideal gap of 9 points has widened to 15 points. The 6-point battle is really heartbreaking to lose.

In an interview after the game, Koeman still humbly said in a low-key manner: "Liverpool has not won the championship. Now I am more worried about the mental state of the players. They may relax. You must know that we have more important Champions League games to come." In the face of it, I hope they can always maintain a sense of urgency, which requires a little pressure from other championship opponents!"

Sometimes the team will be under too much pressure, and sometimes the team needs pressure instead.

Liverpool are in the latter right now.

Ferguson still insisted that Manchester United still had a chance to win the championship after the game!

This stubborn Scottish old man is too persistent, even if he injects the spirit of the Red Devils into the team, it is also admirable.

The media, fans, and players may have given up and have no expectations for the league championship, but only he is still full of firm belief.

In the same round, only Arsenal lost points at home among Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City.

Arsenal were tied 0-0 by Sunderland at home.

Manchester City won Wigan Athletic 1-0.

Chelsea beat Blackpool 3:1 away.

There are 9 rounds left in the league.

Liverpool broke the 70-point mark and reached 72 points.

Manchester United 57 points.

Arsenal 57 points.

Manchester City 54 points.

Chelsea 52 points.

The gap between No.2 and No.4 is gradually narrowing, and the battle between the four teams for three Champions League spots will become the biggest highlight of the Premier League at the end of the season.

As for Liverpool, who are far ahead, they no longer play with them. Anyway, success in defending the title will be a matter of course for everyone.

To fight against the outside world, we must first secure the inside. Liverpool cleaned up the local battlefield, and the focus and energy will naturally be transferred to the Champions League.

On March 3, AC Milan airborne Liverpool City.

Allegri came to Liverpool's territory with a broken lineup.

The fierce confrontation in the last game, the fiery conflict is still vivid, and Fleet Street is predicting how Liverpool will fight back at home.

The local police force in Liverpool will suddenly increase in order to maintain law and order.

After the first round, the clashes between the fans of the two teams outside the stadium attracted the attention of UEFA, which imposed fines and warnings on the two clubs.

The British police tried their best to maintain law and order, for fear of friction between fans in Italy and England before and after the game.

The day before the game, the head coaches of the two teams attended the pre-match press conference.

Allegri appeared emboldened in the press conference.

"Liverpool's overall strength is very strong, and we are the weaker side, but no one can say anything about football. If AC Milan can achieve a miracle at Anfield, it will definitely be a wonderful and great game."

When it comes to lineup issues, Allegri is even more upset.

"Pirlo's absence has a great impact on us. Fortunately, Boateng can play in this game. The absence of Gattuso, Ambrosini and Flamini makes our defense a bit worrying. Rather is confident, he's a brave lad and he's not going to be shy about a scene like this."

Due to midfield injuries and the impact of the suspension, AC Milan's midfielder must use unfamiliar faces in tomorrow's game, such as midfielder Strusser.

Whether this player is afraid of the big scene is hard to say, but it is an indisputable fact that he is still inexperienced and Liverpool's overall strength is stronger, which obviously cannot reassure the fans of the Rossoneri.

Koeman continued his attitude in the league at the pre-match press conference.

Low-key and humble, but also remind the team not to get carried away.

"When playing in the Champions League, I often tell the players to forget the results of the first 90 minutes. Whether we are behind or ahead, forget about the first 90 minutes. We can show ourselves and show our true strength without the pressure of being behind. We can also avoid being arrogant and underestimating the enemy to give the opponent an opportunity. The only thing I am satisfied with now is the state of the team. For a long time, all I have heard are the legends of the past. Liverpool used to be the king and ruler of European football. Why can't it be now?

What the predecessors could do, why can't they do what is now widely recognized?

No, I believe they will tell themselves in their hearts: we can do it.

But courage, determination, and will alone are not enough. Action and execution are also needed. Proving your determination with actions is the most important thing.

Compared with the past, Liverpool has undergone tremendous changes. The players are proud of wearing the Red Army jersey, but they must continue to improve while being proud, otherwise, you will not be worthy of the Red Army jersey! "

Koeman did not look forward to the game too much, which was interpreted by the Italian media as: Liverpool is despising AC Milan.

They are really mistaken.

Koeman did not despise his opponents at all. He was even afraid that his players would despise their opponents and use media public opinion to create an atmosphere and put a little pressure on Liverpool players.

Although Liverpool is fighting on two fronts, the league and the Champions League are interrelated. The huge advantages of the league will make players relax. If such relaxation continues to the Champions League, it will be a nightmare! (To be continued~^~.)
