    Liverpool drew with Chelsea in an away game, which can be said to be a small upset. Before the game, it was predicted that the two sides would draw, but more people thought that Chelsea would probably beat Liverpool at home. Even if it was a draw, it should not be a draw.  In a draw with a goal, this is not because they underestimate Liverpool, but because they trust Chelsea's defensive ability.  However, Liverpool really shocked them. At Stamford Bridge, Liverpool showed not only their powerful attack power and solid defense, but also their perseverance and resilience to the world. For a team that aims to win the championship  , which is essential.  After the game, Liverpool quickly became one of the favorites to win the championship. Their rankings in the three major European bookmakers have surpassed Chelsea and AC Milan, second only to Manchester United who defeated Milan at home. In the media and fans  In my mind, Liverpool's hope of winning the championship is even greater than that of Manchester United.  For example, the "Liverpool Echo" believes that Manchester United does not have any advantage in this score. Milan will become very strong when they return to San Siro. It is not easy for Manchester United to get a draw. At Old Trafford, the referee's enforcement  The scale is larger. At San Siro, the referee's enforcement standards will definitely not be the same as those in the Premier League. This is a big restriction for Manchester United. It is definitely much easier for Liverpool to get a 00 score at home than Manchester United. "Liverpool Echo"  The newspaper believes that it is likely that Liverpool and Milan will reach the final.  The Sun¡¯s view smacks of a conspiracy theory, ¡°At the end of the first leg, Liverpool and Manchester United had the upper hand, but judging from the course of the game, it would be very difficult for Manchester United to win or draw at San Siro, and Europe  The Football Association may not want the Champions League war to turn into a Premier League civil war, and the revenge battle between Liverpool and Milan is obviously more interesting. Therefore, Manchester United and Chelsea are destined to be eliminated, and it is Liverpool and Milan who will reach the final.  Of course, the English media still believe that the two Premier League teams will reach the final, and Manchester United and Liverpool are obviously the best choices. They are the teams in the best form now and the championship contenders for the best league.  , they also have the best stars in the world. Only Manchester United and Liverpool can attract the attention of the world when they appear in Athens. Most Italian media are more optimistic about AC Milan entering the final. "Gazzetta dello Sport" believes that Liverpool has at least seven chances of entering the final.  Although Milan lost in the away game, they have home court advantage and the probability of promotion is definitely more than 60%. "Corriere dello Sport" stated that AC Milan's Champions League experience and home court advantage will be decisive, and Manchester United failed to gain more at home.  The lead may cause them trouble. Manchester United will be in an offensive and defensive dilemma in the away game. Once Milan scores first, Manchester United will basically have no room for improvement. For the battle between Liverpool and Chelsea, "Rome Sport" believes that Liverpool.  Although a little weaker than Chelsea in terms of strength, Liverpool has now taken the initiative. Considering Benitez's historical record against Mourinho in the cup, it is already very difficult for Chelsea to reach the final at Anfield.  The final will be Milan vs. Liverpool. The media outside England and Italy obviously pay little attention to the Champions League, but such an important event cannot be ignored, such as Germany's "Bild", Spain's "Hes" and "Equestria".  Famous newspapers such as "Card" and France's "L'Equipe" have devoted a lot of space to reporting on the two semi-finals of the Champions League. They also share the same views as many betting companies. Most of them are optimistic about Milan and Liverpool entering the final and are negative on Manchester United.  After the first battle with Chelsea, Liverpool is generally optimistic, but they also have their own problems, that is, they are fighting on two fronts, and they cannot relax on both fronts. Chelsea has little hope of winning the league now, and they have a lot of problems in front of them.  With three games left for the two teams, Manchester United and Liverpool, it is very difficult to expect both Manchester United and Liverpool to make mistakes. They may hide their strength in midweek and concentrate on preparing for the Champions League semi-finals with Liverpool.  Liverpool¡¯s opponent in the league is Portsmouth. This is an opponent with no desire. They are ranked ninth, there is no possibility of relegation, and it is difficult to have a chance to enter the European competition. But at the last moment of the league, what?  Situations can happen, and Liverpool must not be careless. Once Portsmouth is affected by some off-field factors and fights against Liverpool, the result will be unpredictable. In fact, there are many such off-field factors, especially in the Premier League.  In the league with a long history, major clubs have many grievances and entanglements. Over time, certain factions are formed. In a faction, the boss provides shelter to the younger brothers and helps him fight against relegation opponents.  The younger brother provides points for the older brother to win the championship, and acts as a sniper for the older brother within his own ability.  Portsmouth and Chelsea have a close relationship. Many fans think that they and Manchester City are Chelsea's younger brothers. At such a critical moment, Portsmouth will definitely not let Liverpool pass easily.  ?Compared with Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United are relatively easy. Manchester United¡¯s opponent is Everton. Everton is Liverpool¡¯s mortal enemy in the same city, so it has become Manchester United¡¯s most loyal team.Brother, although Everton is going to enter the European competition in this game, they still have a three-point advantage over Reading behind them, so giving up to Manchester United will not have much impact.  Chelsea¡¯s opponent is his younger brother Bolton. Although Bolton has the possibility of entering the European competition, the UEFA Cup is useless for small and medium-sized teams. Now Chelsea is in urgent need of help, and it is reasonable for them to provide help to the boss.  Benitez has been in England for three years. He is very aware of the complex relationships in the Premier League. He did not dare to rest the main players during the game. Instead, he tried his best to win three points in the away game.  Benitez was soon glad that he was not careless. Portsmouth showed a strong fighting spirit from the beginning of the game and did not let Liverpool go because they did not need results.  Although Liverpool was the main force in the game, the players' minds were focused on the Champions League semi-finals next week. The players still hoped to win this game at the minimum cost, so they did not fight hard enough or resolutely enough in the game.  .  Although Portsmouth's strength is not as good as Liverpool's, it is still not far behind. The hard work of Portsmouth's players completely made up for this gap. After the game started, they actually had the upper hand.  Fighting spirit cannot be raised at once. Even if Liverpool's players know that their opponents will not let them go, they still think that they can defeat Portsmouth without exerting a lot of energy.  This idea of ????Liverpool was completely shattered in the first minute. At this time, the Chelsea game that started early had ended. They easily defeated Bolton 0. With one more game, they have surpassed Liverpool and Manchester United in points.  Portsmouth seemed to have heard the news of the boss's victory. They attacked hard, and in the minute, forward Rua Rua broke through the gate guarded by Reina with a powerful shot, pushing Liverpool into a desperate situation.  Now it is impossible for Liverpool not to fight. It is hard to say whether they can advance to the Champions League. It is also unknown whether they can win the championship if they advance. At this time, if they cannot beat Portsmouth, they will directly lose the league championship. For Liverpool,  The importance of the league championship is equal to that of the Champions League. They have an advantage in the league and they must not leave their destiny to others again.  After conceding the ball, Liverpool gave up all distractions and launched a fierce counterattack against Portsmouth.  At this time, Chen Yu and Gerrard acted as a dagger. Less than five minutes after losing the ball, Gerrard fired from 25 meters away from the goal. His powerful volley went directly into the goal.  Portsmouth goalkeeper James had no reaction at all.  Gerrard's goal equalized the score and stabilized the players' emotions. Then the morale-boosted Liverpool team completely controlled the situation of the game. Portsmouth was not as strong as Liverpool. Once Liverpool also let go and fight with them, their last point  There is no capital to compete with Liverpool, and they can only be beaten passively, hoping to preserve the result of a draw. This result can also help Chelsea tie Liverpool in points.  Liverpool became more and more courageous as they fought, and Portsmouth was unable to fight back, but they were unable to reverse the score. After the first half, Liverpool changed from a 44 formation to a 43 formation and put on three forwards to continue their attack.  In the 55th minute of the game, Chen Yu put Liverpool fans at ease. His shot from the penalty area helped Liverpool take the lead.  Portsmouth was unwilling to fail, and they immediately started to counterattack, hoping to get at least a draw. However, after Liverpool slightly shrunk their defense, the offense and defense became more balanced. In the minute of the game, Chen Yu successfully countered offside and went straight into the penalty area. He deceived James.  After that, he pushed the ball into the empty goal and helped Liverpool seal the victory.  Seeing that he was already two goals ahead, Benitez replaced Chen Yu, Gerrard, and Alonso one after another, and continued to play the rest of the game as substitutes.  Although Portsmouth is the younger brother of Chelsea, they cannot fight for Chelsea like relegation. Seeing that the defeat is irreversible, they gave up their struggle. In the end, Liverpool defeated Portsmouth with 1 and continued to win with two points.  Advantage leads the standings.  Manchester United, who played at the same time as Liverpool, also defeated Everton 0 as expected, but they are still two points behind Liverpool. For them, if they want to win the championship, they must wait for Liverpool to make mistakes.  There are two rounds left in the league, and Liverpool is two points ahead. As long as they don't make fatal mistakes in the last two rounds, winning the league championship is a high probability event. Now for Liverpool, the most important task has been transferred to the Champions League.  The championship has become the most realistic goal for the Red Army.
