Chapter 371: Liverpool's situation

, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the football player!
After the Lawrence Award ended, Lee Chenglong's arrangement was to leave for England the next day after a one-night rest.
But early the next morning, while there was still time, he visited Shanghai SIPG, the local football club in Shanghai.
This is his visit to China this time and was invited by a rare football field.
To put it simply, Jackie Lee is to visit SIPG club to exchange ideas with SIPG players, and jointly promote a harmonious society.
Coming to SIPG’s training ground, the players here are quite reserved, no one dares to take the initiative to talk to him, a well-known European star.
However, SIPG’s head coach Eriksson is very familiar. This guy used to mix around in Europe and also served as the head coach of the England national team. He speaks English very well.
Like a leader inspecting, Li Chenglong went back and forth from the first team to the youth team, and then the accompanying reporters and camera crews took photos of him in all directions.
I believe these photos can play a very good role in the promotion of SIPG Club.
They spent money to invite Li Chenglong to come, of course, they must try their best to be effective.
When the first team was "inspecting", Li Chenglong also pretended to pat their hope star Wu Sanshi and said: "Come on, boy, I think you are more promising than Zhang Xizhe."
In fact, in terms of age, Li Chenglong is two years younger than Wu Sanshi.
After the "inspection" was over, Li Chenglong and Old John set off to return to England in the afternoon, while Barnett stayed in China and had several business endorsements to talk about.
Once in China, Li Chenglong has gained some rewards in commercial endorsements.
This was originally the purpose of Barnett's always letting him come here, gaining both fame and fortune.

This weekend when Jackie Lee participated in the awards ceremony in China, the English Premier League continued.
Although Lee Chenglong was absent, Liverpool won the mid-range team Newcastle United 2-0 cleanly at home and did not lose the chain.
In other games at the same time, Manchester United defeated Manchester City 4:2 at home in the Manchester City Derby. Arsenal also continued to play their four attributes. They won Burnley 1:0 away, but Spurs were upset at home. :1 Losing to Aston Villa, basically retiring from the competition.
In this case, Arsenal continued to keep second with 64 points, Manchester United ranked third with 63 points, Liverpool and Manchester City were both 60 points, but Manchester City ranked fourth with a goal difference advantage over Liverpool.
Manchester City suffered two consecutive defeats in the last two rounds and fell directly from second to fourth, which is already very dangerous.
This also makes the make-up match between Liverpool and Manchester City very important. It is basically a key battle for the two teams to fight for four. Even if the stalemate continues, it is likely to become a fight for life and death.
Manchester City is also dead by themselves. They have been firmly in second place for most of the season, and even had the opportunity to compete with Chelsea, but in the second half of the season, they started out in the Champions League and domestic cups one after another. Lost the chain in the league.
This is all right. Manchester United took the opportunity to climb up. Then the Red Devils can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and watch the two rival teams of Manchester City and Liverpool bite each other as long as they don’t have any problems. No matter who killed them, they They will definitely be very happy.
It is also worth mentioning that in recent rounds of other top six teams in successive civil wars, Chelsea also took the opportunity to benefit. Their current points have reached 78 points, 14 points ahead of second-placed Arsenal.
There are still 6 rounds left in the Premier League, which is basically to lock the championship.
Even if it goes well, the Blues can win the next round ahead of schedule.
If it does, Chelsea will equal Manchester United in the 01/02 season and become the second Premier League team to win five rounds ahead of schedule.
And interestingly, the opponent of Chelsea in the next round happens to be Manchester United.
At this critical moment in the fierce competition for four, the results of Chelsea and Manchester United's match are different, which will certainly have different effects.

Li Chenglong returned to England, and was immediately asked by English reporters about his betting on football.
Li Chenglong and Juan Fu are both very famous figures in England, and their bets at the Lawrence Awards ceremony have naturally spread to Europe a long time ago.
Of course, the British media will not let go of such news hype.
"If Sherlock is willing, I would be happy to compete with him. I intend to pass the crotch, pass the ball, or even pick the ball. He can choose freely." Li Chenglong replied half-jokingly.
"In addition, he may have forgotten that I only scored four goals at the Emirates Stadium a few days ago. He chose to play with me in that place, which is definitely not a wise choice."
A brief response to the reporter, Lee Chenglong needs to quickly rendezvous with the team to prepare for the first leg of the next Champions League quarter-finals.
Liverpool and Chelsea's Champions League red and blue battles have been conducted five times before, four of which were in the knockout stage, and both sides eliminated their opponents twice.
But it is worth noting that the two teams had only met in the Champions League quarter-finals before, and that time was when Liverpool lost to Chelsea.
And the two times when Liverpool eliminated Chelsea, all were Liverpool's first visitor and then the host.
And the two times when Liverpool were eliminated by Chelsea, they were all in the first place.
So this year, Liverpool faced Chelsea in the Champions League quarter-finals first and then away. It seems that Liverpool is going to be worse off.
And from the current Premier League standings, Chelsea leads Liverpool by 18 points, which is the most intuitive manifestation of the strength of the two teams.
So this time the Premier League civil war in the Champions League quarter-finals, everyone is generally more optimistic about Chelsea.
"Liverpool Echo" has thought of a retreat for Liverpool. With the current situation of Liverpool, reaching the quarter-finals in the Champions League has already reached expectations.
At this time, he lost to Chelsea and was out. It was not shameful at all. It just happened to take the opportunity to go back to fight for four and try to get the Champions League qualification for next season.
If you can qualify for the Champions League next season, plus the League Cup, the Champions League quarter-finals, and the semi-finals already reached in the FA Cup (if you can beat Arsenal in the semi-finals, you can even win the championship), then this season Liverpool is still a success.
After all, the team is now undergoing an obvious transition between old and new, in a period of pain.
This statement has actually been recognized by many Liverpool fans.
Many people are worried that if Liverpool continue to fight on multiple lines, it is really likely to collapse on multiple lines.
At that time, it really collapsed, and Liverpool was basically defeated across the board, and nothing could be found.
The UEFA Champions League is out, the FA Cup loses to Arsenal, and the league loses four games. By then, although there is a League Cup champion in hand, there is no such thing as the Champions League, and the team's income will be cut by more than half.
In fact, think about it seriously, this situation is really possible.
In addition, for a giant team like Liverpool ~EbookFREE.me~ Champions League qualification is actually more important than a League Cup or even an FA Cup.
Arsenal's performance has been poor in recent years, but Wenger's position has been very stable. Even if there are occasional fans calling Wenger to dismiss get out of class, the Arsenal management trusts him very much.
why?
It is because of the very stable top four rankings every year and the qualification for the Champions League every year.
When Wenger could not compete for four and could not qualify for the Champions League that day, he would not be far from get out of class.
Therefore, for the Liverpool management, the current four is Liverpool's top priority.
But for Lee Chenglong personally, the Champions League is what he values ​​most.
Only with good results in the Champions League can he continue to compete for next year's Golden Globe.
If the Champions League quarter-finals are out, and there is only one Premier League golden boot at that time, it is impossible for him to compete with Ronaldo Messi.
