The English Championship team Barnsley is two levels away from the Premier League team. Barnsley is also a relegation team in the Championship and is still fighting for relegation. According to common sense, he cannot pose any threat to Liverpool. The bookmakers are not even willing to give this game odds. After all, the probability of Barnsley being upset is too small, and even Liverpool itself does not take Barnsley to heart.

Although fighting the lions should use all their strength, it also depends on what kind of rabbits it is. Now Barnsley is not only not strong enough, but also has to be distracted from fighting for relegation. It is unlikely that Liverpool will fight to the death in events like the FA Cup. It is strange that Liverpool can take them to heart.

Chen Yu, Gerald, Alonso, and Liverpool are all very calm people, but because their opponents are too weak, they did not take this game to heart. Otherwise, with Chen Yu's personality, it would be impossible for him to not rest until late before the game.

Even head coach Benitez did not take Barnsley seriously. In fact, most of his thoughts were focused on the mid-week Champions League. For giants like Liverpool, the European Champions League is definitely the most important. Whether in terms of reputation or actual interests, the league cannot be compared with the Champions League. The second place is the league, and the second place is the FA Cup. Often when the league is hopeless, the team will focus all their energy on cup matches like the FA Cup and the League Cup.

On the day of the game, Liverpool and Barnsley did not pay much attention to this game, with only five or six thousand fans, of which Barnsley's fans accounted for almost one-third, and there were only four reporters, one was Liverpool's reporter, ******* reporter, and a local reporter.

Liverpool has been in a tight spotlight in the past two years, winning the Champions League and the league double championship. The team's core Chen Yu won the World Footballer again. It can be said that he is the hottest team in the entire European football world. Generally, as long as there is a Liverpool game, the stadium is full, and it is difficult to get a ticket. However, in addition to the weak opponents today, there is also a focus event in this round of the FA Cup that is comparable to the Battle of the King of Heaven.

In the fifth round of the FA Cup, the Red Devils and Manchester United met with Gunners Arsenal. Although the FA Cup level is not as good as the Champions League and the League, it is also an ancient event with a long history. In such a cup, due to the mixed match between good and bad teams, there are too many teams, and the chance of a upset is also high. The strong dialogue can basically be seen in the finals, and at least the semi-finals. The fans' luck this season is obviously good. In the fifth round, they saw the strong dialogue between Manchester United and Arsenal. It is normal for fans and reporters to be attracted to this game.

Liverpool fans, including Liverpool fans, think that there is no suspense in this game between Liverpool and Barnsley, but the charm of the football game lies in its unpredictability. This game that is considered to be unsurprising was heart-wrenching, and it almost almost snatched the limelight between the focus battle between the Red Devils and the Gunners.

At the beginning, Liverpool was in a hurry to play, and the players wanted to quickly solve the problem. Barnsley went to listen to the news about Arsenal and Manchester United. Although they could not see it with their own eyes, it was definitely good to watch the fight. But I didn't expect that Barnsley, who is in the relegation zone, was so bloody. Seeing Liverpool look down on them, captain Thomson roared, Barnsley changed his indifference and humility before the start of the game, and played a life-long pressing, which was completely about competing with Liverpool for this quarter-final spot.

This was something Liverpool had never imagined. They didn't get nervous before the game. During the game, they saw Barnsley's players and did not have the intention to win, so they were even more relaxed. They were suddenly attacked by Barnsley and were stunned. Even Chen Yu didn't know what to do, so they could only be passively beaten.

In the eighth minute of the game, Liverpool goalkeeper Renner was penetrated by Barnsley's No. 9 with a long shot from 30 meters away without any mental preparation.

Barnsley's goal beat Liverpool halfway. They did not think about how to counterattack or retaliate, but were thinking about how this Championship team was and what they were doing.

The English Championship team is also a professional team. They soon discovered that this Liverpool team is not as powerful as they imagined. Whether it is a strong outside and a middle-aged man or other reasons, in short, this English Championship team has seen hope of victory.

A Championship team like Barnsley can't reach the final, but playing against a giant like Liverpool is a kind of luck, and no one has ever considered the dream of defeating Liverpool. However, when the opportunity really comes, Barnsley's players can't help but become excited.

Although Barnsley's players are in the relegation zone and relegation is their number one task, if they can beat Liverpool, they will receive too much honor and will have a motivational effect on the team far exceeding the physical fitness they consume in this game. The English Championship team defeats the Premier League champion or the double champion. Such opportunities may not necessarily be once in a few decades. How can Barnsley's players not be extremely excited?

One side exerted force fiercely, the other side was stunned, and was still wondering why. Although there was a gap in strength, the advantage of the game was still controlled by Barnsley, the English Championship team.

With Liverpool's strength, even if he was confused, it was not easy for Barnsley to score another goal, but today's Barnsley player was very lucky. First, when he broke through on the wing, the Liverpool player fell accidentally, then Barnsley's player headed the ball to the Liverpool defender and changed the line. Finally, Renner hurriedly appeared in a butterfly player. As a result, Barnsley, who had just scored the goal, appeared in front of the ball again and kicked the ball into Liverpool's goal with no effort.

No offside, the goal is valid, and Barnsley leads two goals.

Liverpool has been sobered up and has seen the situation clearly. Barnsley is ambitious today to win this game. Although he is already two goals behind, Liverpool players will never surrender. Whether it is the FA Cup mission or the dignity of the giants, they will not allow them to lose to a garbage team like Barnsley.

Liverpool then launched a counterattack under the leadership of Chen Yu and Gerald.

Logically speaking, a giant like Liverpool attacks a Championship team with all its might, smoothing the gap between the two goals, and further winning Barnsley is not difficult. The difficulty lies in the fact that Liverpool relaxes too much. It is not easy to be nervous for a moment. It is not easy to play loosely, but it still disagrees. It is not that easy to defeat Barnsley, who wants to defeat them.

Until the end of the first half, Liverpool was unable to break through Barnsley's goal, and at this time Manchester United had already led Arsenal 3-0. In comparison, Liverpool was like a joke.

Obviously, such a situation and such results are unacceptable to Benitez and the club's senior management. In the locker room, Benitez criticized Liverpool players fiercely, and even superstars like Chen Yu and Gerald were no exception.

After the half-time break, Liverpool finally calmed down. At the beginning of the second half, they rushed towards Barnsley's half like a tiger going down the mountain. In a very short time, they defeated Barnsley's defense and turned the wing into Liverpool's back garden. They came whenever they wanted and left whenever they wanted.

This time Barnsley's players couldn't think of it anymore. They could not have imagined that Liverpool would have such a big difference in the first and second half.

Liverpool's strong attack soon gained. In the 55th minute of the game, Chen Yu returned a long shot from Barnsley, which was shot at about 40 meters away from the goal. He could not make any attempt, but he was hit by the defender and turned the direction. Such a goalkeeper had no choice but to watch the ball fly into the goal net.

After Chen Yu took the lead, the other Liverpool players showed their magical powers across the sea. First, Gerald scored a long shot from the front of the penalty area to equalize the score, then Pennant headed the ball to overtake, and then midfielder Mascherano scored in front of the goal, rewriting the score to 4:2. At this moment, the second half of the game has not yet passed half.

Barnsley was beaten so hard, but Liverpool players showed no sign of stopping. At this time, Barnsley players felt a little regretful, thinking that they should not change their original intention and gave up the game, they might just lose two or three goals. But now, Liverpool has scored four goals. If Liverpool continues to play like this, the score will reach double digits.

Perhaps it was because he felt that Barnsley's energy was gone. When Liverpool players scored the fifth goal and firmly grasped the situation on the court, Chen Yu and Gerald handed each other a color, then slowed down the pace of the game, no longer attacked the penalty area like before, and shot when they caught the opportunity.

Barnsley's players also felt this. They gave up their plans to win in the next time, accepted the current score, and started to work hard.

Liverpool is happy to save energy, and is just kicking casually, as if the offense and the shoe are harassed, waiting for the game to end.

The fans are very smart. You can tell at a glance that there is garbage time behind them. However, the fans are also satisfied with the wonderful battles ahead. This has actually exceeded expectations, so many fans began to leave the court, and the commentator also devoted their main energy to the focus of Manchester United and Arsenal.

The referee ended the game just after the 90th minute of the final game. In the end, Liverpool defeated Barnsley from the Championship 5-2 and entered the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. In the quarter-finals, their opponent was his old enemy Chelsea again.

In the focus match of the fifth round of the FA Cup, Manchester United easily swept Arsenal, who is determined to be in the league, and easily reached the quarter-finals. This time, their luck was still bad and they met the Premier League powerhouse Portsmouth.
