555 We are the champions
Super Coach 555, Super Coach Text 555 We are the Champion
Liverpool's game against Aston Villa is the last home game of the Reds this season, and this game is related to the final ownership of the championship, so the entire Anfield Stadium is full.
Almost all Liverpool fans want to come to Anfield Stadium to cheer for the team's sprint championship.
Since Liverpool's lineup has just finished the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, the second leg of Liverpool has made some adjustments.
The goalkeeper is still Renner. The Spanish goalkeeper's performance is getting better and better. He is one of the most stable goalkeepers in the Premier League this season. He has also won the recognition of Yang Cheng, the coaching staff, as well as Liverpool fans. He is the team's undisputed number one goalkeeper.
On the defense line, Yang Cheng used Leiden Barnes, Vidic, Carragher and Finnan. The three midfielders were Arau Diarra, Carrick and Gerald, and the tridents in the frontcourt were Ribery, Larson and Robben.
Since Aston Villa is still entangled in the mud of the relegation zone, everyone thinks that this game will be very difficult. Aston Villa's head coach David O'Reilly also said before the game that he must score points from Liverpool's Anfield Stadium to ensure that the team escapes from the relegation zone.
But no one expected that the game, which should have been very intense, turned into a one-man show for Liverpool from the beginning.
Just four minutes into the game, Carrick, who failed to play in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, performed very actively. He made a sharp and accurate low ball in the middle and passed through Aston Villa's two central defenders. After Larson successfully counterattacked, he broke into the penalty area, got the ball and drifted past goalkeeper Sorensen. He pushed the ball and scored 1:0!
This goal completely laid the advantage of Liverpool, and the Reds began to sound the signal of a crazy attack.
Especially this group of Liverpool attackers, they all tried hard to perform better, convinced the head coach to participate in the upcoming Champions League final, so they all played very actively.
On the other hand, Aston Villa was stunned by Liverpool's first goal at the beginning. He was so passive that he could only shrink to his own half to defend. Liverpool's possession rate in the first 20 minutes was as high as 74%. It is conceivable how passive Aston Villa was.
Mourinho, who came from London to watch this game, shook his head and left after watching the first 20 minutes of the game. Although he was blocked by reporters outside the door and refused to say anything more, everyone could see his depression.
But as soon as he walked out of the gate, he heard a burst of cheers coming from the stadium.
There is no doubt that Liverpool must have scored another goal!
Gerald inserted in the back row and received a cross from Finnan to cooperate with Robben on the right, heading the ball to Aston Villa!
Liverpool performed more actively after winning two consecutive games, but O'Reilly also made adjustments immediately. Aston Villa began to consider more defense. After all, if Liverpool was allowed to pursue and play like this, the situation would be very bad.
Both sides ended the first half 2:0, but neither side made substitutions in the second half, and the tactics basically followed the tactics of the first half.
But in the 48th minute, less than 3 minutes into the second half, after Gerald dribbled the ball, Larson retreated to the front of the penalty area to respond. Then he passed the ball to the left, Ribery quickly stepped forward, and after getting the ball, Gerald got rid of the defense of the opponent's central defender Cahill at the front point, and once again broke through Aston Villa's goal, 3:0!
The continuous goals made Liverpool a stunning move, especially after 5 minutes. Gerrard once again used a corner kick sent by Robben and shot a long shot from outside the penalty area, staged a hat trick.
These three goals also allowed Gerald to catch up with Arsenal's leading scorer Henry in the league scorer list. Both of them are currently ranked first in the scorer list with 24 goals, but Arsenal only has one round left. Liverpool has two games left.
Yang Cheng considered that Gerald's head was very hard recently and his shooting condition was very good, so after 4:0, he replaced Gerald with Dutch veteran Davis, so that the veteran who decided to leave the team after the end of the season accepted the fans' farewell at Anfield Stadium.
As soon as Davis came on the court, cheers immediately sounded at the stands at Anfield Stadium, and many fans pulled out banners and raised their cards to keep Davis, or wish him all the best in Ajax.
The Dutch followed Yang Cheng to Anfield Stadium, and although he only played for more than a year in the three years he spent at Liverpool, he made great contributions to the league championship in his first season, and in the second season of the Champions League and many games this season, he showed his best form and strength to help Liverpool defeat his opponent.
Just for this, fans cannot forget Davis' contribution to the team.
In the 79th minute, after Robben entered the penalty area, he was tripped in the penalty area by the opponent's Aaron Hughes. When the referee showed a red card and a penalty kick, all the fans shouted Davis' name.
This time, Robben did not rush to compete for the victory, but handed the ball to Davis, with the Dutch Boar being responsible for the penalty kick.
All Liverpool fans stood up and gave the Dutch veteran who contributed the last peak of his career to the team. They shouted Davis' name and thanked him for his contribution to the team.
The Dutchman was very calm and rational, not infected by the fans' sensational behavior. He calmly sent the ball into the blind spot of the goal, but after scoring the goal, he fell to his knees on the court, and all the Liverpool players rushed up and hugged the Dutchman.
Three years ago, he was a player who was banned by Juventus for a year and was believed by countless people to retire, but Liverpool gave him a freshman, where he played a peak state at the end of his career.
When he joined Liverpool three years ago, he never thought that the next three years would be so glorious, but the years are unforgiving, and it is really time for him to leave.
He raised his head, took off the glasses from his head, and wiped the liquid around his eyes that could no longer tell whether it was tears or sweat. Then he put on his glasses again, hugged his teammates one by one, and then ran to the sidelines, hugging the head coach who had already opened his arms to him tightly, and hugged the head coach who had brought him dignity again.
Deafening shouts rang out at the entire Anfield Stadium!
At this moment, the score of the game is no longer important. What is important is the friendship and connection between the players and the head coach. The most important thing is the friendship and connection between the team and the fans!
Yang Cheng remembers that Ferguson respected the famous Scottish coach, Jock Stein, once said, "Without fans, football is nothing!"
However, with the professionalization of football, more and more teams have begun to ignore fans.
But in Liverpool, Yang Cheng can still see this group of fanatical fans, and he can still see the joy and sorrow brought by the team's win or loss, and the primitive and simplest way of treating football, the team, and the feelings of faith.
In the UK, there are too many teams like Liverpool, such as Nottingham Forest, Wimbledon, etc., but there is no doubt that Liverpool is the most special team, not because of their results, but because of their fans!

"I'm so glad we won this crucial game!"
At the post-match press conference, Yang Cheng faced all the reporters and said proudly.
"We were very tenacious and took the pressure from Chelsea and just let them sit for hours as the league leader and then pulled them down. It was a great thing!"
Several local Liverpool reporters shouted excitedly at the scene, and some Liverpool fans and reporters also joined in. The entire press conference was very enthusiastic.
"But we can't be careless about this. Our next two games are away games, one in London and the other in Portsmouth, which are very difficult to play. So we should put the championship and celebration aside and devote ourselves to the game."
After a pause, Yang Cheng nodded and smiled confidently: "Yes, guys, we are qualified to win the championship only if we win these two games!"
After saying that, the guy clenched his fists excitedly, looking full of confidence, but he refused to make bold statements easily.
It felt really uncomfortable to be chased by Mourinho's team for half a year. Fortunately, the pressure he endured finally brought him a generous reward. But the more critical the moment, the less careless Yang Cheng dared to be. There have been many cases of capsizing in the gutter.
Even though Yang Cheng has no doubts, the league has been obtained!
After defeating Aston Villa, Liverpool led Chelsea by one point. That is to say, as long as Liverpool wins any of the next two games, they can declare the championship.
The opponents in the two games are West Ham United and Portsmouth. Although they are both away games, Yang Cheng is very confident because these two teams are heavily in debt and have unstable morale. Currently, the league is ranked in the middle of the league, and there is no desire or desire. On the contrary, it may be a little difficult to play in the FA Cup final. As for Portsmouth, although it is fighting for relegation, the team's overall strength is still quite different from that of Liverpool.
Moreover, before and after these two games, Liverpool only needs to pay attention to the league, so Yang Cheng is very confident.
But having confidence does not mean you can be careless!
…………
…………
Although the head coach called for calmness and sanity, the next day the newspaper still cheered for the championship, and the whole city was in full swing, and all Liverpool fans rushed to the streets, frantically struggling to compete for a ticket to go south to London.
Everyone wants to experience every moment of the team's history, so they all want to witness Liverpool's championship moment at Upton Park Stadium at West Ham United.
Since there is no league or cup game in the middle of the week, almost all fans around the world have turned their attention to the 36th round of the league played in London, where Liverpool challenged West Ham United away.
As a meritorious coach who brought West Ham United from the Champions League to the Premier League again, Padu took two years to bring West Ham United from a collapsed relegation team to the mid-level Premier League. He also did not make too much signings in his first season, that is, he introduced Bernardon for 2.5 million euros from Santander. The player's performance was also very outstanding.
However, although there is no desire in this game, West Ham United still shouted the slogan before the game to win Liverpool first and cheer up the FA Cup final. Head coach Alan Padu also said that he would not show mercy to Liverpool's subordinates.
Due to the mid-week rematch, Yang Cheng rotated in the game. The goalkeeper was still Reina, and the defense was Riser, Vidic, Carragher and Glen Johnson. The midfielder was Essin and Arau Diarra, respectively, Gerald's shadow striker was in the center, Ronaldo played the left winger, Ashavin played the right winger, and Drogba occupied the main center position.
Liverpool's tactical formation has become 4231. Obviously, it emphasizes more on the pressure and control of the midfield.
West Ham United is still the 442 tactic they are good at, but there are also many well-known stars in this team, such as Leo Ferdinand's younger brother, Armour Ferdinand is the backbone of the West Ham United defense, and England's old gun Sheringham is the main striker of the Hammers. These are all famous Premier League players.
Liverpool has tried to speed up the pace as fast as possible from the beginning, so after the opening, they frequently created murderous intent on both sides, and Lisser and Ronaldo were particularly active on the left. Ashavin on the right was more involved in the organization of the midfield and passing.
West Ham United's change of team against Liverpool was somewhat unexpected, but the tactics set by this team before the game were defensive counterattacks, so they were not messy, shrinking their defense and playing in an orderly manner, and the first half was 0:0.
In the second half, Liverpool made adjustments. Yang Cheng pulled Ashawen to the middle and retreated to the midfield organization. Gerald went to the right and formed a right channel with Glenn Johnson, hitting West Ham's left.
This change of formation was effective at the beginning of the second half. Ronaldo once cooperated with Drogba on the left and broke into the penalty area and passed the ball to the right side. After Gerald got rid of the defensive player from the right rib, he entered the penalty area and calmly sent the ball into the goal guarded by Walker, 0:1!
After scoring the goal, Gerald rushed out of the corner flag area excitedly, rushed to the bottom of the stands where Liverpool fans were, and raised his head and whistled.
His condition is really good this season, and the team's running-in is getting better and better. Liverpool's tactics are also very suitable for his type of player performance, which has made him score more and more goals for three consecutive years after Yang Cheng took over Liverpool, and this season he beat Henry and became the first in the Premier League scorer list.
This is his 25th goal this season!
Long before the game, Gerrard expressed that he hoped to win the league's top scorer, because in the history of the Premier League, Liverpool only ranked first in the league in 97/98 and 98/99, but that was tied for both, and three players tied for the first place in the scorer list for two consecutive seasons.
So strictly speaking, Liverpool has never had a Premier League scorer!
He hopes that he can be the first, especially since the goal momentum so far this season is so good. He is really looking forward to it and full of desire!
People often need to have goals, desires, and motivation.
Gerald was more active after scoring his first goal. In the 48th minute, he missed a good opportunity to score due to an offside.
But just 4 minutes later, he received a pass from Ashavin during a side run, and made a powerful long shot at the front of the penalty area, and once again pierced through West Ham United's goal, 0:2!
After winning two consecutive games, West Ham's defense collapsed and Liverpool began to become a tide of offensive force.
But in the 52nd minute, West Ham United counterattack, Zamora successfully counterattacked after receiving a pass from Sheringham, dribbled the ball and drove straight in, picked up Reina and scored, scoring the score back to 1:2!
Powerless resistance will always arouse the anger of hegemonists. West Ham United's goal not only did not weaken Liverpool's fighting spirit, but instead made the Reds' offensive become more fierce.
Less than 5 minutes after West Ham United's goal, Gerald made a cross from the right, Drogba nodded in front of the header, Ashavin inserted the ball and scored, 1:3!
In the 62nd minute, after Ashavin got the ball at the front of the penalty area, he got rid of Mullins' defense and passed the ball diagonally to the right. Gerald inserted a shot and the ball drilled into the goal from goalkeeper Walker's crotch. Gerald once again staged a hat trick!
After two consecutive rounds of hat tricks, Gerald's goal momentum was comparable to that of Europe's top striker.
However, if you analyze it carefully, it doesn't mean how superb Gerald's shooting skills are. In fact, he missed a lot of opportunities in the game. However, after Liverpool played smoothly, he created many opportunities. Gerald's physical fitness and running awareness are good, which often allows him to get more shooting opportunities.
Of course, after seeing his scoring state be better, Yang Cheng also had a tactical bias.
After performing a hat trick, Yang Cheng replaced Gerald and replaced youth training young player Walcott.
After that, Liverpool began to adjust until the 78th minute, Ronaldo scored a long shot from the left rib of the penalty area, and once again penetrated the goal of West Ham United, rewriting the score to 1:5!
Although the game is not over yet, although it is West Ham United's Upton Park Stadium, Liverpool fans can't wait to celebrate their Premier League championship.
Even from Gerald's first goal, fans kept shouting the championship slogan in the stands. As the score continued to rise, the fans were even more excited to sing the team's hymns, making the song "You Never Walk Alone" sound over London.
Many fans who came to the away game took out the cards they had prepared in advance, raised them over their heads, and formed a sentence: We are the champions!
For Liverpool fans, the home team West Ham United is like a decoration. They are just a foil on Liverpool's road to winning the championship and cannot prevent Liverpool from winning the league championship!
When Ronaldo scored the fifth goal, Yang Cheng simply used up the remaining two substitutions, and then stood on the sidelines, wrapped his hands in front of his chest, and looked at the stadium silently.
West Ham has lost the will to resist, and Liverpool players have no idea of continuing to increase the score.
The last 10 minutes seemed to have become a time to brew emotions. All Liverpool players and fans were waiting, waiting for the referee to blew the whistle to the end of the game.
As long as the whistle sounds, we are the champions!
Chapter completed!
