The opening song "You Never Walk Alone" has become the label of Anfield Stadium.

Anyone who comes to Anfield Stadium will easily be infected and influenced by the tragic atmosphere brewed by the stadium after a long period of accumulation, will also be shocked by the group of singing fans in the stands, and may even have an illusion that it is not a group of fans, but a group of soldiers of the Iron-blooded Legion.

Liverpool has indeed been a bit tragic in the past two years. Many people think that if it weren't for the powerful Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool might have had the possibility and opportunity to win the championship long ago. With Benitez's tactics and coaching ability, coupled with the strong financial resources brought by India Reliance Group, Liverpool would be invincible.

But it is because of the existence of Tottenham Hotspur that Liverpool missed the championship again and again. But the cruel thing is that he has played 30 rounds so far this season, and Tottenham Hotspur leads Liverpool, who is ranked second in the standings, with 21 points. However, in the 31st round of the Premier League, the opponent Tottenham Hotspur encountered is Liverpool.

In the eyes of many people, this is a battle in Tianwang Mountain.

Although this season's Premier League champion is basically Tottenham Hotspur's pocket, everyone still believes that there will always be a little miracle, so they believe that as long as this game is defeated by Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool will still have a chance.

Benitez's team has been eliminated in the Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup, and now there is only one Premier League left, which is 21 points behind. The possibility of overtaking is almost zero. However, whether it is for his future at Liverpool or preparing for the next season, he must win Tottenham Hotspur at home.

For Liverpool, if they win Tottenham Hotspur, they still have hope, because between one win and one loss, the points have narrowed to 18 points. In the seven rounds of the league, although it is unlikely, at least there is still a glimmer of hope.

But if you lose, then everything is really over

Therefore, for every player at Liverpool, this game was very complicated, contradictory, and even frustrated. They looked like they were incited by fans in the stands, and from the beginning they showed a courage and determination to fight for fans and dignity until the last moment.

Perhaps, this has become their last motivation

Tottenham Hotspur's opening game seemed a bit conservative. After all, it was a away game, and the midfield even lined up the fierce men's combination of Stroman, Matic and Vidal, which made Tottenham Hotspur's entire midfield look very tough and resilient.

After the opening, Liverpool actively pressed up to attack, but as soon as their offense entered Tottenham Hotspur's half and 30-meter area, they immediately felt like they bumped into an iron plate. They were good at attacking on the side, but Tottenham Hotspur's midfielder was very well-deployed in defense against the side, firmly clamping Liverpool's offense.

Liverpool began to gain the advantage of possession, but they didn't seem to be more calm because they had this advantage. On the contrary, they seemed very impatient, eager to win as soon as possible, eager to beat Tottenham Hotspur, and eager to live up to the expectations of fans.

In this case, they made mistakes that they should not make on weekdays.

Thiago Silva made a long pass from the backcourt in the 26th minute. Lewandowski blocked Mamadu Sarco with his body, turned around and made a diagonal pass behind him. Messi quickly inserted from behind and drove the ball into Liverpool's penalty area. Facing Renner, the Argentine calmly made a fake move and tricked Renner over and pushed the ball into the empty goal. 0

This goal completely ignited the anger of Liverpool. They began to launch a round of attacks on Tottenham Hotspur like a desperate situation, but Tottenham Hotspur's three tough guys were in the midfield, making Liverpool's offense come back again and again, which caused a huge blow and pressure on their hearts.

The fans in the stands were still singing and encouraging the players, hoping that they could lift their spirits and show the bloodiness of the Reds in this critical game, defeating Tottenham Hotspur, keeping a glimmer of hope for the league championship and regaining some dignity for the team.

This expectation can often make the team burst into stronger combat power when the team is in good times, but when the team is in bad times, it will often turn into a psychological pressure on the players.

In the 41st minute, Gerald made a mistake in passing, Neymar intercepted the ball in the frontcourt and passed directly behind him. Lewandowski inserted the ball and scored a single goal, scoring the second goal for Tottenham Hotspur, 0

This almost sentenced Liverpool to death, so the team completely collapsed.

The second half started again. After the two sides changed sides and fought again, Liverpool slowed down and pressed and pressed were no longer so fierce. However, Tottenham Hotspur still sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and made solid defense in the half. Once the ball reached the feet, it would take slow control to consume Liverpool and lure Liverpool to press forward.

Liverpool also had a fool, but when this mistake was exchanged for Lewandowski's second solo shot, he was almost scored by the Polish center, Liverpool was so scared that he dared not come back.

When the time came 70 minutes, Ye Qiu began to make substitutions one after another, and replaced some young players. Belgian 17-year-old midfielder Yuri Tilemans started for Tottenham Hotspur for the first time, replacing Matic as the drag-off midfielder. Tottenham Hotspur also began to actively press forward, adopt ball-control tactics, and patiently look for opportunities, but the overall tactics are still stable.

When Benitez faces Ye Qiu's almost rogue style of playing, he doesn't have many effective ways, because he can clearly feel the current mentality of the players. It is a kind of mentality that although there is still a glimmer of hope, but rationally but sober, tells you that you should despair, which is very tormenting.

In fact, this game ended in a dull manner. Tottenham defeated Liverpool 0 away and won the Premier League championship this season in advance. This is also Tottenham Hotspur won the Premier League championship for six consecutive seasons.

Six consecutive championships are an honor, an unprecedented honor for Tottenham Hotspur.

When the referee Weber blew the whistle to the end of the game, the fans in the stands were silent. Maybe they needed some time to adjust their emotions, but Benitez calmly walked towards the visiting team's coaching seat.

It was faint, and there was no sign of any turmoil, just as if he had no feelings. This was the typical expression of the fat Spanish man Benitez. When he saw Ye Qiu, he stretched out his hand and said, "You have been with Mourinho for a long time recently, and your parking technology has improved a lot." These words that should have been full of sarcasm and sarcasm were all light and boring when he said it.

Ye Qiu was not angry about it and smiled, "It's not that I have good parking skills, but that your driving skills are too bad."

After a pause, Ye Qiu also threw out his bargaining chips to prevent Benitez from refuting again, "At least, your cooperation in the 30-meter area today is no less than the deputy squad leader Cardiff, and it is not much better."

As soon as these words came out, Benitez was speechless.

In fact, anyone with discerning eyes knows that Tottenham did not perform at its best in this game, but the difference is that Liverpool performed poorly because of their own problems, while Tottenham Hotspur is willing to play more easily, so they did not do their best when they saw Liverpool performing poorly.

One of the important reasons why Liverpool performed poorly in this game is that they are not calm enough.

With the advantage of possessing the ball, Liverpool always seems impatient whenever they enter Tottenham Hotspur's 30-meter area and encounter defensive pressure, which makes Liverpool almost lose their past cooperation and routines in this area. It looks more like they are fighting on their own, and it is difficult to pose a threat to Tottenham Hotspur.

"Facts have proved that no matter how hard your skull is, it can't hit my iron plate, right?" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

Benitez had a little expression at this time, that was dissatisfaction, but not only was he dissatisfied with Ye Qiu's sarcasm and sarcasm, but also because of the players, he said more than once that he should be calm and rational, but in fact, Liverpool did a bad job in controlling his relationship.

Sometimes, Benitez began to feel that this might be his fate

Looking at the past few years, although he won the title of Ye Qiu's nemesis, he actually lost a lot of games to Ye Qiu. In addition to that Champions League final, he was more in some useless games or in the face of Ye Qiu's difficulties. But if he was really aimed at Ye Qiu, he was actually powerless to Ye Qiu.

But no matter what, Benitez could not show his weak side in front of Ye Qiu, so Espanyol squeezed out a smile like squeezing toothpaste, "Don't be too proud too soon. Winning the championship too early may not be a good thing, sometimes it may be a bad thing."

"Thank you" Ye Qiu still smiled, "But, you don't need to bother with this."

Benitez turned around and left. After Ye Qiu left, his expression became a little stiff. He actually knew exactly what Benitez said. Winning the championship too early may cause the players to relax too early, which may not be a good thing for the next battle between the Champions League and the FA Cup.

Tottenham Hotspur successfully won the Premier League championship in March, which was highly praised and praised by fans all over the world. Countless fans believe that this is the most dominant season in Premier League history.

In the past six years, Tottenham Hotspur has demonstrated its strong dominance, completely ending the covetousness of other strong teams for the Premier League championship, and winning the Premier League championship trophy again and again.

But Ye Qiu and Benitez's concerns are not unreasonable. After Tottenham Hotspur won the league championship seven rounds ahead of schedule, a week after the team returned to London from Anfield Stadium, Tottenham lost 3 at home to Southampton.

This battle shocked everyone, even Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur fans all over the world.

Tottenham Hotspur played very well at the start of the first half. The team scored two goals in Southampton in more than 20 minutes, which made the Saints helpless and even frustrated.

But half an hour later, Tottenham began to lose his spirit at the beginning and began to want to play safely, trying to drag the game to the end like Liverpool. But it turns out that Southampton is not a Saint.

Before the end of the first half, Coutinho made a wonderful pass, Lucas Mora broke through Kompani and scored,

During the halftime break, Ye Qiu repeatedly emphasized that the team must wake up and cannot relax because of winning the championship in advance. However, in the second half, Tottenham Hotspur's performance did not improve much. At the beginning of the second half, the team gave Southampton a goal, which was Lucas O'Mora, an assist from Inmobile.

After the Italian center has switched to Southampton this season, he has performed very well. He has scored 20 goals in the league and has been selected for the Italian national team. He is seeking a ticket for his World Cup in Brazil, so he is very motivated in this game.

After being tied with the score, Ye Qiu replaced three players in one breath, but the team's performance still did not improve. Southampton was already crazy. In this case, as the head coach, even Ye Qiu could not control the team well. Finally, in the 93rd minute, at the last moment of stoppage time, Immobile's goal helped Southampton reverse Tottenham Hotspur.

Tottenham lost this useless game at home

Judging from the league competition, this game is meaningless, because Tottenham Hotspur won the championship ahead of schedule, which can only be said to be annoyed Liverpool. However, from another perspective, this game sounded a wake-up call for Tottenham Hotspur, that is, once the players relax, how can they ensure their condition?

Everyone is the same. When you have been nervous and moving towards a goal for the past six months, you can maintain your state well. But once you achieve this goal, you will have a sense of wanting to relax and have a good rest. Many times, this consciousness is not controlled by you.

In this game, Tottenham Hotspur not only lost one league game, but also lost a home record, shattering the Stratford Stadium's record of winning streak, and also stopped Tottenham Hotspur's winning streak this season at 31 games, and even stopped Tottenham's unbeaten record at 157 games.

The outside media and fans are very tolerant of Tottenham Hotspur’s defeat. After all, Tottenham Hotspur is too strong this season, showing an unprecedented dominance and completely cutting off all other competitors’ desire for championships.

However, the defeat in this game has once again ignited hope for all competitors, especially those in the Champions League and the FA Cup. After winning the league championship with a record advantage, how Tottenham Hotspur maintains this state and how to regain the fighting spirit and morale of the team has become a difficult problem.

If it were just this game, there would be no explanation from the outside world. But what was so bad is that three days later, Tottenham Hotspur took the Stratford Stadium and gained an overwhelming advantage in the first half. With Matic assisting Ribery to lead, Bayern Munich reversed the situation in the second half, and Schweinsteiger scored an equalizer.

I Bayern Munich retired from the away game and also scored a crucial away goal.

At the post-match press conference at the end of this game, Guardiola praised the team's performance, believing that the players' tenacious fighting spirit in the second half and the team's promotion laid hope. He believed that he could eliminate Tottenham Hotspur at home.

"Yes, no doubt Tottenham Hotspur is a very strong team, but this game, especially in the second half, gave me a feeling that they lacked ambition, they seemed to have relaxed and lost the determination and will to play the whole game, which is a very terrible thing

Ye Qiu also admitted Guardiola's statement at the post-match press conference, and he bluntly admitted that there was a problem with the team.

"I think we were suffering from a serious illness, everyone was exhausted and we couldn't keep our ninety-minute game concentration, which made us make a lot of mistakes in the game, some of which were fatal mistakes, and we lost our previous efficiency."

"My team and I are working hard to find the cause. We need to prescribe the right medicine. I hope that in a week, when the team challenged the Allianz Stadium away, the team can recover and regain the passion of the game."

Ye Qiu's statement also confirms the speculation from the outside world. For Tottenham Hotspur, there are advantages to winning the championship early, but the disadvantages are also obvious. Especially for some players in the team, winning the championship early gave them a sigh of relief. In addition, the team's peak in the past few seasons, as well as defeating all opponents this season and sweeping across Europa, all of them have made them look at the problem with an overly optimistic attitude and face the difficulties in the game.

Ye Qiu is right, this is a disease, an infectious disease, an infectious disease that spreads very quickly. If this problem cannot be solved quickly and well, it will drag down the entire Tottenham Hotspur and even put the team in a collapse.

In Ye Qiu's opinion, it doesn't matter if the league wins the championship early, and it doesn't matter if it loses, let alone losing to Southampton. The team's unbeaten record is over. It is not a bad thing for Tottenham Hotspur, but the problem is that if you have to pay the price of losing the Champions League to stimulate the team to rekindle their fighting spirit, then the price will be too high.

Therefore, in the first leg of the quarterfinals, he was tied by Bayern Munich at home, and Ye Qiu announced an amazing decision on the spot in the locker room.
