Chapter 451 Did you see it? The football almost hit me!(2/2)
Just listening to the calls from the scene, you can know how much Liverpool fans hope that the team can win.
Every league game is very important to Liverpool. The league has reached its final stage and Liverpool is ranked fifth. They still have four points gaps with Chelsea, which is fourth. It is very difficult to catch up.
There is a huge difference between fourth and fifth in the league.
The fourth place in the Premier League can participate in the qualifiers of the Champions League. The Premier League teams will often enter the main competition without any suspense.
Of course, there are special circumstances.
For example, in 2005, Everton was eliminated in the Champions League qualifiers, but that was an extremely rare situation. Everton only participated in the Champions League that time.
Liverpool often ranks third and fourth in the league. They participate in the Champions League qualifiers every year and have never encountered elimination. In other words, as long as they can rank fourth in the Premier League, they basically have entered the top 32 of the Champions League.
The fifth place in the Premier League is not qualified to enter the qualifiers and can only participate in the next UEFA Cup.
The gap between the UEFA Cup and the Champions League is too big.
Liverpool is a regular visitor to the Champions League and has been a strong contender for the Champions League in recent years. Liverpool fans do not want to see that the team loses the qualification to participate in the Champions League.
They hope that Liverpool can beat Newcastle United, successfully get three-pointers in this round of league and qualify for the Champions League, which is much more meaningful than the media's "revenge" and "stop Newcastle United's championship".
The same goes for Liverpool players.
When the players of the two teams appeared in the field, the camera shots swept through the faces of the Liverpool players one by one. Compared to the laughter, Newcastle United, which was a little unadjusted, the commentator praised Liverpool, "Everyone has a firm face, and they take the game very seriously..."
"For Liverpool, every game is a life-and-death battle, and they must score three-pointers with all their might!"
When the game was about to begin, the commentator also introduced the lineup.
For Newcastle United, it is worth noting that Irving did not appear in the lineup, and he sat on the bench with other teammates.
Irving was not very surprised.
If it is another league, it would be nothing, but the opponent is Liverpool and Irving's famous team. He was very attracted by the attention of him if he was unable to play.
Many Liverpool fans looked at the Newcastle United bench.
Liverpool's lineup is also missing. Midfielder Xavi Alonso had a severe cold and could only sit in the stands to watch the game. The camera gave Alonso a shot, and he was wearing a mask and sitting in the stands to show seriousness.
"For Liverpool, losing Alonso is a big blow, and their midfield will be greatly affected.ww"
"Mascherano is an excellent midfielder, but he focuses more on defense. Liverpool's midfield offense must rely more on Gerald..."
As the commentator analyzed the lineup, referee Weber blew the opening whistle.
The competition officially begins.
Zhen Shaolong kicked the ball back to Patton, and Patton passed it to Bart. Bart kicked forward with force and passed it to Martins in half altitude.
The ball flew past referee Weber.
Webber gave his butt forward and formed a reverse shape, so that his body did not touch the ball. He was content with his agility and joking in the headset, "Did you see it? The football almost hit me!"
Then.
His right eyelid suddenly hopped a few times, and he stopped stroking it hard. He immediately wondered, "It's strange, what's going on?"
