After a week's break, Liverpool went to challenge Blackburn Rovers in an away game.
Although Qin Xiong was recuperating, he still asked Sylvia to drive him to the away game to watch Liverpool's away game.
Before the game, the camera stayed on Qin Xiong's VIP seats.
The commentator commented that Qin Xiong was in a good mood.
Because Qin Xiong held Qin Ye with a smile and seemed to be full of confidence in the team.
Blackburn Rovers' biggest upset this season was the defeat to the Red Devils at Old Trafford on Ferguson's birthday.
At that time, they were the bottom team in the league. Now they were second from the bottom in the Premier League. Not only did they have the pressure to stay in the relegation zone, but they were really stuck in the mire of the relegation zone.
They were different from the other relegation teams. One point symbolized that they were close to success in avoiding relegation.
They needed more points to catch up with the teams in front.
Therefore, Blackburn Rovers would not retreat to defend at home. They needed to score goals. One point was meaningless to them.
Liverpool's elites were all out. Comain was also under great pressure at this time, but he also had a card up his sleeve for his players.
The game was very open. Liverpool and Blackburn Rovers attacked each other back and forth. Blackburn Rovers was simple and crude, while Liverpool combined strength and softness.
In the 90-minute game, the Red Army captain Gerard first scored for the team, then Suárez extended the lead. Blackburn Rovers recovered a goal before the end of the first half.
However, Raúl's goal in the second half completely shattered their dream of a comeback.
Liverpool played a 3: 1 victory in the away game.
In the same round of the game, Tottenham Hotspur, which was under pressure to stay in fourth place, had a big upset at home. They lost 1: 2 to the newly promoted Norwich team.
Chelsea were forced to a 1: 1 draw by Fulham in the London derby. It seemed that they were conserving their strength for the Champions League and thus looked down on the Premier League.
Arsenal's morale was greatly boosted after they defeated Manchester City in the last round. They defeated Wolverhampton Wanderers with a score of 3: 0 in the away game.
Manchester City ushered in a big victory at home for a long time.
Faced with West Bromwich Albion, Manchester City went on a killing spree and won with a score of 4: 0.
Before the start of the round, the leading team, Manchester United, was the guest team to challenge the relegation team, Wigan Athletic.
In the 90-minute game, a goal from Wigan Athletic was disallowed by the referee. At the same time, Manchester United also missed a penalty kick. However, Wigan Athletic still defeated Manchester United 1: 0 at home with Maroney's goal!
After the match, Ferguson was furious!
"Figueroa's arm touches the ball. You have to see if he's too close to the pass to avoid it, but he's at least 15 yards away from the pass. It was a clear penalty shot!
It was a disappointing moment but sometimes you get penalties and sometimes you don't. Last Sunday, we got a penalty shot. You'll say that big clubs always get this kind of benefit, but in fact, we didn't get anything. Referee Dowd's performance tonight was disappointing. He never really took control of the game. "
However, that doesn't hide the fact that our performance was weak. We only had one shot on goal and we were a beat slower in the fight for every ball. Wigan deserved the victory. You have to realize that Wigan are in the wrong position at the moment. They play one of the best football in the league. You have to believe that. You always want to widen your lead. If you can do that, then that's great. But considering where we were a few months ago, you have to accept the reality of today. I said that both teams will lose points. You'll always lose points at some point. "
.....
Manchester United lost the game, allowing Liverpool to return to the top of the table!
At the same time, Manchester City quickly came back from the dead after one round!
There were five rounds left in the league. Now, no one dared to say which of the top three teams would have the last laugh.
Liverpool 76 points.
Manchester United 75 points.
Manchester City 71 points.
Arsenal 61 points.
Tottenham 59 points.
Chelsea 57 points.
The two battlefields of the top six teams were so unpredictable that it was impossible to predict the situation boldly.
Liverpool would have the FA Cup semi-final in the middle of the week.
Qin Xiong's injury was almost healed. The team doctor had said that he needed to rest for two weeks. In fact, it was not that serious. Moreover, the team doctor told the club the player's recovery time. Most of the time, he would make a conservative prediction so that at least there would not be too big a mistake.
Qin Xiong trained with the team, but Comain still would not include him in the FA Cup semi-final list to be on the safe side.
When Liverpool and Everton played in the FA Cup semi-final at Riverside Park, Qin Xiong still appeared in the stands with his family.
He was there to cheer for Liverpool.
Liverpool, who were competing for the title this season, had reached the final juncture in the last three fronts.
No one could say whether it would be glorious or a total loss in the end like walking a tightrope.
Everton pragmatically carried out a defensive counterattack at Riverside Park. Liverpool was the first to concede a goal. Cabaye equalized the score with a long shot from outside the penalty area in the 63rd minute of the second half.
Just when everyone thought the two teams would enter overtime, it was the Red Army captain, Gerard!
He received Alonso's corner kick in the penalty area in the first minute of injury stoppage time and scored with a header!
Gerard killed his nemesis, Everton!
Moyes punched the roof of the substitutes' bench angrily on the sidelines!
After Gerard's goal, Qin Xiong also excitedly rushed down from the stands and jumped into the field to celebrate with his teammates around Gerard!
Liverpool had broken into this season's FA Cup final!
Koeman commented on Gerrard after the game and said, "He is a great player and has a special meaning in the world of football, European football, England, and Liverpool. He contributed to the final goal in the game against our arch-rival Everton. Gerrard's goal came at the right time and he became the hero of the team, once again! We are very pleased to have such a player. He has not aged yet. I hope to see him play for Liverpool until he retires. This is the wish of every Red Army fan! "
Another game in the FA Cup semi-final.
The game between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur was one-sided.
Chelsea astonishingly destroyed Tottenham Hotspur in the semi-final!
5:1
It had been a long time since Chelsea ushered in such a hearty victory, and it was in the semi-final of the FA Cup. This made Chelsea full of confidence for the future.
After the game, Di Matteo looked forward to competing with Liverpool for the FA Cup title. At the same time, he also looked forward to the Champions League semi-final with Liverpool next week. He said, "We have lost our competitiveness in the league and are not favored by the top three teams. But in the cup, we are still the top team in Europe. No team will look down on us, not even Liverpool! We will bravely have a decisive battle with Liverpool! "
He used the word 'decisive battle'. It seemed that Chelsea would go all out in the game against Liverpool.
