Chapter 115 The Three Greatest Champions

"We did a good job in this game, but we have to admit that it was difficult for us to limit Li Qingshan's performance. This is the most important reason why we lost this game!"

Klopp's face is still very ugly, but anyway, he has not refused the post-match press conference.

"The season was double-killed by Manchester United, and the home game was still a big loss. How do you comment on this?" This is obviously a question raised by a Manchester reporter.

"Manchester United is a strong team, but at the same time he is our arch-rival. It is not good to be double-killed by the arch-rival. If the club thinks someone needs to take responsibility, then I will."

Klopp pushed back his glasses and didn't evade the question.

For Liverpool, this season was double-killed by Manchester United. When the two sides met for the first time, they were still defeated by a huge score of [-] to [-]. If they can't win any championships this season, then Liverpool is destined to be a failed season this season.

So on which fronts can Liverpool make breakthroughs?

First of all, in the league, despite losing to Manchester United in this game, Liverpool did not fall out of the top four.

The other games of this round have also ended one after another. Now in the standings, after 21 rounds of the league, Manchester United has 53 wins, two draws and two losses, with [-] points, ranking first in the standings, while Chelsea lost to Manchester United After that, they seemed to be woken up. They won ten games in the next eleven games and lost only one game. Now they have scored [-] points, three points behind Manchester United, and ranked second in the standings. The third place is Manchester City, which is six points behind Manchester United, while Liverpool, after losing to Manchester United, is eight points behind Manchester United and ranks fourth in the standings.

The league is eight points behind in the Premier League. It is not without examples of overtaking, but the English media generally do not believe that Liverpool can suddenly explode in the second half of the season, and come to a wave of consecutive victories to overtake the top three opponents in the standings-the probability of this is a bit low.Leaving aside Manchester United's current fiery state, there is no Chelsea, which is dragged down by the Champions League, to concentrate on the league, and their state is also quite good. Even under Conte's training, Chelsea's current state is even better than Manchester United! !

In addition to the league, Liverpool has only the FA Cup to fight for trophies. In the League Cup, Liverpool was eliminated by Southampton early. season.

After the No.20 round of the Premier League, the English media began to publicly discuss Klopp's fate.

It is not surprising that Klopp was fired even if he encountered such humiliation from his arch-rival this season.

At least now in Liverpool, a considerable number of Liverpool fans have formed an "anti-Klopp" wave.

According to the "Daily Mail" report, a considerable number of fans are now preparing to hire planes to hang "Klopp get out" banners at Liverpool's next home game to express their stance.

The "Sun" claimed in the report that some Liverpool players have become dissatisfied with Klopp, and there are also voices against Klopp in Liverpool's dressing room.

For a while, whether Klopp dismissed get out of class has become a hot topic in the media in England in recent days.

Even if the Liverpool executives came out to confirm that Liverpool would not fire Klopp, Liverpool captain Henderson also said in an interview that the Liverpool team still respects Klopp and did not stop the hype.

This is the case with the English media. In such a media environment, everyone is infinitely magnified in front of the public. Sometimes these tabloids even spread rumors and slander in order to gain attention.

Manchester United temporarily escaped the attention of the media, but they didn't take long before they immediately grabbed the headlines of the media.

Manchester United, who just defeated Liverpool, will soon usher in the 22nd round of the Premier League. Manchester United will go away to challenge Stoke City! !

However, it was this game that caused Manchester United to suffer their third defeat of the season.

They lost [-]-[-] to Stoke City in the away game. Li Qingshan did not score in this game, but Manchester United's two goals came from his assists, and the instability of Manchester United's defense made Stoke Kecheng found their chance and they scored three goals in the game, giving Manchester United a bitter defeat.

After losing this game, Chelsea, who have been biting Manchester United tightly in the league, took the opportunity to equalize the point gap with Manchester United. Chelsea defeated Burnley at home this round with a score of 53 to [-]. Now Manchester United Both have the same [-] points as Chelsea, and Manchester United has temporarily retained its first position in the league by virtue of its goal difference advantage.And Manchester City, which is third in the league, also took the opportunity to narrow the distance from the top of the list this round. They defeated Tottenham Hotspur in three bills at home, and their points reached [-] points, three points behind the top two teams!

The competitive situation in the Premier League this season is much more intense than last season.

"Championship? Of course, Chelsea's goal is the league championship. All our energy is now focused on the league!" Conte said in an interview after the game, "We must maintain the pressure on Manchester United, they still have the Champions League game, It will distract them and we need to play our own game and wait for United to make mistakes."

"Last season was a surprise result, Chelsea shouldn't be at this level of team. This season we're back to normal and we're going to give it our all in the league. Manchester United are a strong opponent and Manchester City are behind us. The bite is tight, and Liverpool still have a chance, so the competition in the league is very fierce, we must focus on every game!" Gary Cahill said in an interview.

And Manchester City, which ranks third in the standings, is actually only three points away from the top of the list, so they are also considered to be strong contenders for the league title this season.

"I think there are at least five teams that still have the hope of competing for the championship!" Guardiola did not want to expose his team to the eyes of the media too much, "Arsenal is seven points behind the top of the table, and Liverpool are also Just eight points off the top of the table."

After losing to Manchester United, Liverpool lost to Swansea at home, suffered a two-game losing streak in the league, and fell out of the top four in the league ranking.

But the media will not count Arsenal and Liverpool in the list of championship contenders just because Guardiola said so.

Now the media refer to Manchester United, Chelsea, and Manchester City as the troika competing for the league title.After half of the league, these three teams are regarded as the first team in the league. The points gap between them is only three points, within one game, and Chelsea and Manchester United are currently ranked No.4. Arsenal are on seven points, while Manchester City are four points ahead of Arsenal.

Of course, the media didn't argue because of the pure points gap.

In terms of the stability of this season and the thickness of the bench, these three teams are indeed a step higher than other Premier League teams.
