On April 4, Koeman led the team to Birmingham.

The sixth round of the Premier League last round should be the game where Koeman has the most relaxed mentality since taking over Liverpool.

Compared to playing in any league cup, the FA Cup is easier. At least Koeman still has certain expectations when playing in the local cup, but the substitute lineup is really not good.

But before this game started, the red and blue battle between Manchester United and Chelsea showed the results that the Reds most wanted to see.

Chelsea wins!

In this way, Liverpool led Chelsea by 8 points in one less game and 9 points ahead of Manchester United.

In the sixth round of the last game, Koeman has no pressure, no matter whether he wins or draws.

This game can be lost, and Liverpool has enough room to lose points.

Considering that he will visit Barcelona in a few days and Koeman will be in rotation again, the current environment is the best.

Just imagine, if Manchester United wins, Liverpool really dare not say that they have the capital to lose in this game!

At Birmingham's home court, Liverpool sent a substitute to play.

Koeman naturally won't say "you can lose this game". He will still inspire the team, hoping that the substitutes can cherish the opportunity to play and contribute to the Reds' Premier League championship.

Koeman, who was serious on the surface and leisurely on the inside, sat on the coach's seat to watch the game.

Involuntarily, he began to consider the upcoming summer transfer.

Some players in Liverpool's substitute lineup do not meet the standards of top teams, while some players have actually communicated with Koeman and hope to transfer and leave in the summer.

For example, the Spanish Liera.

This is also the embarrassment of Liverpool's current football position.

To the end, Liverpool is not a super giant like Barcelona or Real Madrid.

In Real Madrid, there are many excellent players who are willing to be substitutes and suffer torture at the Bernabeu and wait for opportunities.

But in Liverpool, a player like Liera cannot get a stable chance of playing, so he will think that there is no need to spend money at Anfield.

Liverpool has a high probability of achieving very good achievements this season, or even further achievement.

But the team still has not reached the status of a super giant, making outstanding players willing to come and serve.

The team's status still needs to be accumulated over time and gradually improved.

If you want to leave, go. Koeman doesn't want to force others to make things difficult. That will cause unstable factors in the locker room. He has suffered a lot in Valencia.

But summer transfers need to work well.

Birmingham, who is in the middle of the standings, draws Liverpool 1:1 at home.

Koeman shook hands friendly with the Birmingham coach after the game, and then walked into the player's passage with satisfaction.

In a post-match interview, he praised the players for their performance.

"It is not a coincidence that Birmingham is in the middle and upper reaches of the league standings. They are very strong. In order to prepare for the Champions League game a few days later, we have hidden many main players and were able to win a draw with today's lineup. I think the guys have tried their best. This one point is very valuable, allowing us not to be shortened by the chasers during the difficult time of the two-line battle. This is a good result. I am happy for the team. Now we are ready to go to Barcelona."

Koeman's words are correct, Liverpool lost 2 points in this round.

However, judging from the standings situation, Liverpool has not weakened its advantage.

At the end of the last round, Liverpool led second place Manchester United by 9 points. After this round, Liverpool led second place or 9 points. However, the second place team was replaced by Chelsea, which had no impact on Liverpool.

There are only 5 rounds left in the league.

In theory, Liverpool needs to win 2 draws and 1 game to ensure the league championship, but according to Liverpool's advantage of leading Chelsea and Manchester United by more than 10 goals, perhaps Liverpool only needs to win 2 of 5 games to be crowned the Premier League champion!

After the Premier League, Liverpool's entire army set off and the troops were approaching Barcelona!

Barcelona just won the Basque Lions Athletic Bilbao 4:1 at home in the league, and the Reds came strongly!

On April 6, the entire Liverpool team arrived in Barcelona!

The scenes of Red Army members wearing casual clothes walking out of the airport to board the bus were followed and reported by Catalan media.

They didn't look nervous and serious. The players were quite relaxed, and Qin Xiong even waved to the camera to say hello.

This scene was also captured by Catalan media as a pre-Champions League report.

Qin Xiong waved his hand with a smile. He was given a text by the World Sports Daily: Hey, Barcelona. I'm here again!

During his three years at Qin Xiong for Real Madrid, he visited Barcelona three times. Real Madrid never lost, two wins and one draw!

It can be said that as a superstar, Qin Xiong has long remembered the Barcelona people. It began in the 2006 Champions League final. Qin Xiong and Henry joined forces to defeat Barcelona led by Ronaldinho and reached the top of Europe!

Liverpool stayed in the hotel and started to rest. When night fell, a large number of Barcelona fans gathered outside the hotel. They kept singing outside the hotel like holding a small concert.

Standing in front of the window of the hotel room, Qin Xiong and Torres looked down at the scene outside the hotel.

Torres said helplessly: "They are really capable of turmoil."

Obviously, Barcelona fans are disturbing the rest of Liverpool players.

Qin Xiong laughed.

"Don't you think they're cute? From another perspective, if we're Barcelona, ​​or at Liverpool, our fans go all night to bother our opponents, I think it's our happiness."

Torres shook his head and smiled bitterly when he heard this.

Qin Xiong pulled up the curtains and followed the steps, and what to do or what to do.

Go to bed and go to bed.

The next day, Liverpool conducted a simple training, and in the afternoon, a press conference before the Champions League was held.

Guardiola said seriously in response to reporters: "Liverpool has been in very good shape recently. They have given most of the main players a rest in the league last weekend. Barcelona will face the energetic Liverpool, and tomorrow night's game will be a difficult battle."

"Have Barcelona thought of how to restrain Liverpool? Especially how to get the gap behind three goals?"

"The game is always full of uncertainties. We will improve on Liverpool, perform better than the last game, and strive to achieve a comeback, but this requires great efforts. I believe Barcelona can do it. We are a team that can create miracles and have never given up!"
