After the game, Liverpool beat Manchester City 4-0 at home and defeated Blue Moon in two consecutive games. The news moved to second place in the Premier League standings and aimed at the top spot, which became the focus of coverage by all sports media in England.
Liverpool's glorious history and the tragedy of never winning a Premier League title have earned it the sympathy of many neutral fans.
The emotions accumulated over the years have made many people look forward to Liverpool winning a Premier League championship, and then the idea is clear.
Of course, Liverpool's own morale has also been greatly boosted, and they are eyeing Leicester City at the top of the list. Once Leicester City makes a mistake, it may be time for Liverpool to take the lead.
Amid such expectations, the 29th round of the Premier League started on March 5. What makes Liverpool unhappy is that Leicester City defeated Watford 1-0 in an away game and continued to lead the standings.
The Liverpool game has not yet been played. If Liverpool cannot win, they will be widened by the Blue Fox.
There is no room for error in this round of the league.
Therefore, even though the first leg of the Europa League 1/8 finals, which is attracting worldwide attention, will be held in four days, when Liverpool will face their arch-rival Manchester United at home, kicking off the first English national derby in the history of the European war, Klopp still played on 3 In the 29th round of the Premier League's away game against Crystal Palace on March 6, most of the main lineup was sent out to strive for victory.
Compared with the Europa League, in fact, both Klopp and the club's top management, players and fans value the Premier League more.
In the Europa League, it is good to win the championship, but if you can only choose one of the two, then most people will definitely choose the Premier League championship that Liverpool has never won.
Of course, if they can win both events, plus the EFL Cup, the Red Army will win the minor treble of the season, it will definitely be the most perfect.
No one wants to win them all.
Therefore, after the game started, although Crystal Palace played at home in a 4231 defensive counterattack formation, their fighting style was quite tough. Their purpose is to scare Liverpool so that their condition will be affected because they are afraid that injuries will affect their performance in the next double red meeting with Manchester United.
In the 4th minute, Origi took the ball at the front of the penalty area and wanted to smash the ball past Crystal Palace defender Delany. When he entered the penalty area and shot, he was tripped by Delany.
But the referee only awarded a free kick and did not give Delany a card.
And Willard's free kick failed to score, slightly over the crossbar.
Just five minutes later, Crystal Palace midfielder Ledley knocked Milner away while fighting for the ball, but the referee Andre Marriner still only awarded Crystal Palace a free kick. No cards were played.
This made the Crystal Palace people seem to see the referee's bias towards them and become more aggressive.
Just when the home fans cheered loudly and allowed Crystal Palace to give Liverpool a head-on blow, Liverpool's revenge came.
Not to mention the joining of Willard, Liverpool itself is synonymous with blood, otherwise how could it have played such a famous scene as the Miracle in Istanbul?
The word "backdown" is not in the Red Army's DNA.
Seeing that Crystal Palace became a little unsportsmanlike under the referee's indulgence, Liverpool also launched a revenge. But we cannot allow Crystal Palace's approach to continue, as it will definitely have a great impact on Liverpool's morale.
Just like that, a few minutes later, in the 14th minute, captain Henderson seized the opportunity and made a fierce tackle, pushing Crystal Palace forward Adebayor out of the boundary with the ball.
The Crystal Palace players were naturally dissatisfied and gathered around Henderson, asking for an explanation. But Willard and other Liverpool players naturally did not allow it and blocked Henderson behind him. Crystal Palace center back Dann rushed up to hit Henderson, but couldn't, so he pushed Milner who was blocking Henderson.
As a result, Milner immediately fell to the ground clutching his chest, and the situation that the two sides intended to calm down almost intensified. Fortunately, the fourth official, linesman, etc. rushed into the field and isolated the players from both sides.
In the end, the referee scored 50 rebounds each, and both Henderson and Dane received a yellow card to put the matter to rest. However, Adebayor suffered a slight skin injury. Although it did not cause him to be substituted early, his condition and performance were always affected a lot.
Then, in the 17th minute, Willard deliberately knocked Ledley away while dribbling the ball through Crystal Palace midfielder Ledley without committing a foul.
Ledley fell to the ground in embarrassment, and was laughed by the Red Army Liverpool fans. It also made the home fans of Crystal Palace furious. They yelled at Willard and called the referee a black whistle.
The referee Andre Marriner was also helpless. There was no problem with Villard in this ball. The ball was at his feet. He was dribbling the ball to break through. Ledley went to hit someone and intercepted him, but he couldn't hit Velard. He was knocked out and all he could say was that he was too weak physically.
While the Crystal Palace players and fans were still aggrieved that Ledley was knocked away and Velarde was not called for a foul, Velarde had already dribbled the ball to the edge of the Crystal Palace penalty area.
Center back Dann, who had already received a yellow card, retreated to defend, trying to block Willard's path forward, waiting for his teammates to surround him.
But Willard didn't give him a chance. He made a diagonal pass to Lallana with his left foot in the penalty area. Then he suddenly accelerated, squeezed past Dann, and rushed into the penalty area.
Dann knew that Willard wanted to play a two-on-one and hit the wall to cooperate. He originally wanted to keep Willard even though he committed a foul, but he thought that he already had a yellow card on his body. If he got another yellow card, he would get two yellow cards. From yellow to red, he was immediately punished. So he hesitated and missed the opportunity. Willard broke free of Dann's hand on his clothes and rushed into the penalty area from behind.
Lallana, who performed well in the last game, also understood the situation and passed the ball directly back to Willard's running route without stopping the ball.
Velarde, who ran into the penalty area, raised his right foot to shoot, knocking the last center back Delany to the ground, but he dunked the ball to the left, before Dann and other players who were back on defense could interfere. He immediately pushed with his left foot and pushed the ball to the lower left corner of the goal.
Even with his left foot, Velarde's inverse foot attribute has reached 91. With his dominant foot shooting skill of 93 and 91 inverse foot, Velarde's left foot shooting skill has also reached an astonishing 84.63. This shooting skill is not bad. The dominant foot of Origi, Lallana and others may not be able to reach the level of shooting skills of Willard's left foot.
The ball was played calmly again, and there was no doubt about the result. The ball passed the fingers of goalkeeper Alex McCarthy and rolled into the lower left corner of the Crystal Palace goal.
"Goooooooooooooooooooooal..."
"Oh my god, Willard scored again!"
"Except for the second leg of the EFL Cup, in every other game since joining Liverpool, Willard either scored a goal or had an assist, or both."
"This means that whenever Willard plays, Liverpool will score at least one goal."
"This state is really amazing."
"Liverpool is already 1-0 ahead. If the Red Army can win this game, they will continue to bite Leicester City and continue to eye the top spot in the standings."
"This is undoubtedly a huge pressure for Leicester City."
"Of course, a 1-0 score is not safe. Liverpool still need to continue attacking and scoring goals. As for Crystal Palace, which is playing at home, I don't know if it can withstand it."
