Chapter 382: Liverpool on the edge of the cliff

Ronaldo's stick cut directly turned into a lore. Although Liverpool tried their best to counterattack to find opportunities, but there were only a few minutes left in the game and no effect at all.
　　
　　 In this way, Liverpool lost to Real Madrid 1:2 at home in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final, and was defeated by the opponent for the third time this season.
　　
　　 And this score basically declared Liverpool's death sentence.
　　
　　 In all the two rounds of knockout matches in the history of the Champions League, almost all teams that lost at home in the first round were eliminated.
　　
In total, there have been two accidents, namely, Ajax in the semi-finals of the Champions League in 95/96 and Inter Milan in the top 16 of the Champions League in 10/11. They are the only two to lose at home and go away to complete The turnaround situation.
　　
　　 And they all just lost 0:1 at home in the first round.
　　
　　 In the UEFA Champions League knockout games, a loss of 0:1 and 1:2 at home is a completely different score.
　　
　　 If you lose a 0:1 home game in the first round, you only need to go to the away game for a small win in the second round, and you have a great chance to complete the comeback.
　　
　　 Going to win a 1-0 away game can drag the game into overtime, and if neither team scores in overtime, they can enter a penalty shoot-out.
　　
If it is an away win with more goals and a small win, such as a 2:1 or 3:2 away win, or even a small win with more goals, you can directly rely on the away goals. And promoted.
　　
　　 But if you lose 1:2 in the first round, even if you win 1:0 in the second round, you will still be eliminated because of fewer away goals.
　　
　　 In this case, the team that wins the first round will have more room for maneuver and a better chance to win the game.
　　
　　 So on the whole, Liverpool lost to Real Madrid 1:2 at home, basically a dead end.
　　
　　 At least in the history of the Champions League, no team has ever managed to reverse the promotion after losing 1:2 or more at home.
　　
　　※※※
　　
　　 Liverpool lost to Real Madrid at home, which caused the English media to cry.
　　
　　 This year is the first time a Premier League team has reached the semi-finals of the Champions League after Chelsea in 2012.
　　
　　 But Liverpool lost to their opponents at home in the first round. It seems that they are basically hopeless to advance, which is indeed disappointing.
　　
　　 And to make matters worse, Liverpool have lost to Real Madrid three times this season, and they will probably lose again in the next round to Bernabéu. At that time, they will be killed four times in the season, which is indeed a shame.
　　
　　 After the game, Liverpool all expressed their determination to continue fighting in front of reporters to go to the Bernabeu to reverse the promotion.
　　
　　 But in fact, everyone seemed a little weak when expressing their determination.
　　
　　 After the UEFA Champions League semi-finals, it will soon be the weekend’s league match day. Liverpool will go to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea.
　　
　　 The English media has made arrangements for Liverpool. Anyway, the Champions League is basically out, so go and fight Chelsea to grab a point from Chelsea to try to stabilize your top four position.
　　
　　 At present, Liverpool are only three points ahead of fifth-placed Manchester United in the Premier League standings, which is not a safe position.
　　
　　 If Liverpool lose to Chelsea in an away game, it is very likely that Manchester United will catch up.
　　
　　Only by getting points from Chelsea, can Liverpool continue to suppress Manchester United and stabilize the position of the top four.
　　
　　 But in the face of such a statement, Li Chenglong does not agree with it.
　　
　　 In Lee Chenglong's heart, the Champions League is just a home loss. That game can still make a difference. It is impossible to give up like that.
　　
　　 So Jackie Lee went to Rogers to express his wishes.
　　
　　 "Coach, I think we should rotate in the weekend league to accumulate energy for the second round to the Bernabeu." Lee Chenglong directly expressed his thoughts straight to the point.
　　
　　 "But our Champions League qualification is not stable." Rogers is obviously more inclined to the media.
　　
　　 "But we still have a make-up match. Even if we lose to Chelsea in the weekend's league, we can still score points through that make-up match and get back the fourth initiative again."
　　
"Mr. Coach, this is the Champions League semi-final. If you win, you can go to the Champions League final. Many players have never gotten a chance to participate in the Champions League final in their lives. We can't pronounce a verdict on this series because of a loss in the first leg. death penalty."
　　
　　 "I think we still have a chance in this series, really."
　　
　　 "We are now in rotation, just use a little risk in the fourth quarter, in exchange for a chance to advance to the Champions League final, or even a chance to win the Champions League. Whether it succeeds or not, this exchange is absolutely worth it..."
　　
　　 Jackie Lee just expressed his desire to go to the Bernabéu and Real Madrid for a decisive battle, but he doesn't know whether Rogers will eventually adopt it.
　　
　　※※※
　　
　　 On May 9, the 36th round of the Premier League, Liverpool went to Stamford Bridge to challenge Chelsea, who had won the championship in advance.
　　
　　 In the final selection of players, Rogers still adopted Lee Chenglong's advice and rotated the team.
　　
　　 However, in the press conference before the game, many reporters asked him whether the purpose of arranging the lineup was for the UEFA Champions League semi-finals when he went to Bernabéu and Real Madrid, but Rogers expressed different views.
　　
　　 "In fact, Real Madrid has taken a huge advantage in the semi-finals of the Champions League, and we have almost no chance."
　　
　　 "But we are Liverpool, and we must not be four kills by the opponent in one season. This is never allowed."
　　
　　 "I arrange this rotation, the main purpose is indeed for the second leg of the Champions League semi-final, but our goal is to avoid being killed by four."
　　
　　 Rogers said this is true and false. Of course, reporters can't believe it completely, but they don't believe it at all.
　　
This can be regarded as an alternative smoke bomb, but I don’t know if it will work~EbookFREE.me~Liverpool has carried out a big rotation, and Chelsea, they were defeated by Liverpool in the Champions League and League Cup this season. After being eliminated, they sighed in their hearts, and they had long wanted to teach Liverpool a lesson.
　　
　　 Now that the opportunity has come, of course they will not let it go, and they will try their best to achieve a big victory.
　　
　　 The Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge put up a lot of banners, saying that they want to beat Liverpool at home and beat Liverpool out of the top four.
　　
　　 This game does not directly make Liverpool miss the top four, but there is indeed such a possibility that it will make Liverpool busy and make mistakes, and ultimately lose the four.
　　
　　 Rogers arranged for the team to be as conservative as possible, even shamelessly guarding the penalty area, as long as they can get one point, that is a huge success.
　　
　　 After the big rotation, Liverpool is not a strong opponent of Chelsea at all.
　　
　　 Liverpool defended at Stamford Bridge without conceding the ball in the first half, but was smashed three goals in the second half, and finally defeated Chelsea 0:3 away.
