On March 3, in the 29th round of the Premier League, Liverpool faced Newcastle United at home. Willard, whose strength has improved, easily scored a hat-trick. Mane added the icing on the cake. Liverpool defeated Newcastle United 4-0 and continued to top the list.
At the same time, after completing a hat trick in this game, Velarde's career total goals also reached 400 goals, breaking the 400-goal mark.
To score these 400 goals, Velarde spent a total of 241 games, averaging 1.66 goals per game. This efficiency is the highest in football history and unrivaled.
Moreover, Willard is still very young and is just around the corner to surpass Pele's total career goals and become the first player to score 1,000 goals in an official game.
Three days later, on March 6, in the second leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals, Liverpool faced Porto at home. After a 6-0 away victory in the first round, Klopp decisively rotated most of the main players in this game.
Of course, in order to prevent accidents, Velarde, who is fully physically fit, continued to start.
The game went well. Even though Liverpool rotated most of the main players, Porto, who had no morale, made no achievements at Anfield and did not score a goal. Instead, Liverpool, who mainly used substitutes, scored three goals, of which Willard scored. Got two.
In the end, Liverpool defeated Porto with a 9-0 score in two rounds and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
On March 10, in the 30th round of the Premier League, Liverpool challenged Manchester United away.
This is an English national derby. Although Manchester United is now far inferior to Liverpool, Manchester United players still work very hard in this kind of derby. However, there is a huge gap in strength, especially in the position of Willard, and Manchester United has no way to contain it.
With Willard's full awareness, physique, skills, shooting, 99 speed, and 97 reverse foot, Manchester United simply couldn't defend him.
In the 14th minute, Willard broke through from the right wing, passed three people, cut inside and shot into the far corner with his left foot, helping Liverpool open the scoring and leading Manchester United 1-0 in the away game.
On the wing where defensive strength is insufficient, Willard stands out and is even more unfavorable. Coupled with Robben's inward shooting, he is much more efficient than Robben.
After taking the lead, the game became even easier to play.
Although Manchester United fought hard, they eventually lost the game 1-3. The score was not a big loss, so it was pretty good. What I was afraid of was that it would be embarrassing like Porto or Arsenal, who were bloodbathed 6-0 by Liverpool.
No team dares to say it can beat Liverpool, including Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern, Guardiola's Manchester City and so on.
Manchester United only lost 1-3, which can be considered as Mourinho's defense was quite good.
Subsequently, on March 15, the Champions League quarter-final draw ceremony was held at UEFA headquarters. The final results were Juventus VS Real Madrid, Sevilla VS Bayern Munich, Liverpool VS Manchester City, and Barcelona VS Roma.
Liverpool and Manchester City are engaged in a civil war in the Premier League. The competition between the two sides in the English League has been brought to the Champions League quarter-finals by UEFA.
However, the Champions League quarter-finals are next month, and Liverpool now need to continue to maintain their advantage in the league.
On March 16, in the 31st round of the Premier League, Liverpool faced Watford at home.
There was an unexpected situation in this game. Although Willard scored three goals and performed a hat trick, he was not the one who scored the most goals.
The one who scored the most goals was Salah. He performed superbly in this game and scored 4 out of 6 shots, scoring four goals.
In the end, Liverpool defeated Watford 7-0 at home and continued to lead the standings. The Red Army's advantage in the league seemed unstoppable. Manchester City actually won the game, but they still had no hope of narrowing the gap.
Three days later, in the FA Cup quarter-finals, Liverpool challenged Wigan Athletic, the dark horse of the British Championship, away from home. Although cup matches have always been a hotbed of upsets, and Liverpool also rotated many players in this game, Willard, who has no worries about physical fitness, started the game and guaranteed Liverpool's victory.
1-4, Liverpool scored four goals against Wigan Athletic in the away game. If defender Lovren hadn't been forced by the opponent and made a mistake in the header and scored an own goal, Liverpool would have kept a clean sheet in this game.
But no matter what, it's good to win. The Red Army successfully advanced to the semi-finals and continued to move towards the hegemony of defending the seven-time champion.
After this round of games, time enters the FIFA match day. Teams that have not yet completed the World Cup preliminaries and play-offs need to compete for the final tickets, while teams that have already qualified can play international A-level friendly matches.
Argentina has naturally qualified early. There are only two friendly matches on this FIFA match day. Therefore, many players who play in Europe and have a tight schedule, such as Velard and Messi, have not been called up by Bauza to let them rest.
Of course, players who are not called up by the national team will stay at the club and continue daily training. But no matter what, it is easier than flying back and forth to play national team games, and daily training can be regarded as relaxation and rest.
More than a week later, on March 31, the league resumed, and Liverpool challenged Crystal Palace away in the 32nd round of the Premier League.
There was light rain in this game, which caused some interference to Liverpool's ground attack. In addition, Crystal Palace was on the verge of the relegation zone and was also fighting hard. Therefore, Liverpool did not win much, and in the end it was only a small victory with a score of 2-0.
For Liverpool, led by Willard, winning two goals can only be considered a small victory. Winning three goals can be regarded as a satisfactory victory. Only winning four goals or more can be called a big victory.
On April 1, Willard added the remaining 30 skill points to defense, passing, and reverse footing respectively. The balance of skill points returned to zero, and the skill attributes changed as follows:
Host: Alan Willard
Level: 56
Skill points: 0
Defense: 97
Physique: 100
Awareness: 100
Speed: 99
Headers: 99
Technology: 100
Shots: 100
Passes: 98
Inverse foot: 98
Goalkeeping: 30
…
With increased strength, Willard led his teammates to face Manchester City in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals on April 4.
The league has played 32 rounds, with only 6 rounds left. Liverpool leads Manchester City by a full 6 points, and has a goal difference of more than 30 points. This is a huge advantage. It is very difficult for Manchester City to reverse Liverpool and win the Premier League championship.
Therefore, the Champions League quarter-finals are their way to defeat Liverpool head-on and win a major championship. At the same time, if Liverpool can be defeated on this important stage, it will also end Liverpool's feat of winning seven titles for two consecutive years.
If Liverpool can really accomplish such a feat, it will really be an unparalleled monument in football.
Therefore, Manchester City fielded the strongest lineup they could field in this game. It's a pity that someone is injured and can't be sent if he wants to. And this person is none other than Manchester City's top scorer Aguero!
It is doubtful how much combat effectiveness Manchester City can exert at Anfield without Aguero.
