Four-time Champions of Liverpool? Is it possible?

No English team has ever been able to become a "quadruple" in one season. Some media have believed that Paris Saint-Germain was the "quadruple champion" in 2015, but the French Super Cup, like the English Community Shield, Spain, Germany, Italy and other countries' Super Cups, is not considered to be the top event trophy. Manchester United won the Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup in 1999, and is still the top title in the "Treble" sequence.

Before that, Liverpool and Manchester City have had "trebles" in local competitions, and Liverpool has also had the "treble" of local and European competitions in 2001, but in these sequences, if there is no Champions League and local leagues, it will always be a little worse.

The Treble, the English of the Triple Crown, has been widely circulated with Manchester United's great achievements in 1999, and the "Quadruple" is The Quadruple, which is very difficult to pronounce, and unless anyone can really achieve it, there are few mentions.

Liverpool seem to have glimpsed some of the doorways this season, even if Klopp, with his bold laughter, thinks it's just a "crazy" idea.

However, Liverpool have already won the League Cup, the first trophy to be born in Europe's five major leagues. Liverpool reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League and rival Benfica in the quarter-finals, and the hope of continuing to advance is not small. Reaching the semi-finals of the FA Cup, the opponent is Manchester City. Of course, the league competition, the opponent is also Manchester City, Liverpool fell behind from the peak of 14 points, chased to the end of March before the national team play week 1 point.

Statistically, in the past 62 years, 15 different clubs can be found before and after 120 attempts to challenge the "four champions", whether intentional or not - the Champions League, the English top flight, the FA Cup and the League Cup. The reason why only 62 years is counted is because the League Cup was only launched in 1960, and there is a possibility of "four champions". If measured by the longest running season from the "Quadruple Champions", liverpool this season is already the fifth best in the history of these 62 years:

Tied for third place are Manchester City in 2018-19 and 2020-21, with premier league titles, League Cup winners, the former FA Cup winners and Champions League quarter-finals, while the latter FA Cup semi-final four and Champions League runner-up respectively. The second Manchester United in 2008-09, the league and league cup champions, champions of the Champions League, champions league runners-up and FA Cup final four. The one who went the furthest was Chelsea in 2006-07, the FA Cup and League Cup winner, the Premier League runner-up and the Champions League final four. Chelsea's dream chase of "four titles" that season continued until 1 May 2007.

After Liverpool eliminated Nottingham Forest to reach the fab final four, their second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals will take place on 13 April, at least fifth in history.

Klopp certainly feels that it is "crazy" to chase all the titles in a season, because he has been in charge of Liverpool for 6 seasons and has always had a choice of competitions. In the early stage, it will strive for a breakthrough in the cup and the league to save the fourth, and then the league will fight for the championship, and the cup will be abandoned, especially the local cup. If measured by four crowns, he has never lasted until after Christmas in the past 5 seasons.

The traditional England giants such as Liverpool have only won the Champions League, the English top league and the League Cup in 1984, and the distance between the four titles in the club's history has never lasted until March of the season. Liverpool's 2000–01 season was quite unique: the UEFA Cup, the FA Cup, the League Cup and the third place in the league.

Klopp's lack of interest in the FA Cup and League Cup is well known. In previous seasons, he had never led the team to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, and in his first half-time coaching season, he lost in the League Cup final and only reached the quarter-finals once since. Although Klopp will distract himself externally and reduce pressure internally in various ways, after winning the League Cup, Alexander Arnold tweeted that he was holding the League Cup to the dressing room, and the text was: "1/4.Hungry for more." To say that there are no ideas in the team, absolutely not.

It is only to convince everyone that not only a team of players, but also the whole club, can have a strong sense of impacting the "four champions", which is also difficult.

First of all, the Champions League is the basis for Klopp to become the historical manager of the Reds, and the process of eliminating Inter is a bit thrilling, after all, the home team lost at Anfield. However, after facing Benfica, the strength advantage is obvious, if you advance, you will face the winner between Bayern and Villarreal, playing in the semi-finals, Liverpool will not be weaker than the opponents, and even better than facing the semi-final team between Real Madrid vs Chelsea and Manchester City vs Atletico.

The battle for the league and the FA Cup is a short-term encounter between Manchester City and Liverpool, which is very exciting, but it will also be extremely difficult. This is a repeated battle between the two most stable teams in the Premier League and even in Europe in recent years, and the strength and form are closer than the successive battles between Chelsea and Liverpool under Mourinho and Benitez in 2005. On 10 April, there will be a home match between Manchester City and Liverpool in the league, and if Liverpool want to achieve a turnover in the league, this one-point gap may require them to win away from Manchester City, in addition to the remaining 8 rounds of league games to maintain full victory.

How hard it is for a team to demand physical fitness, energy and willpower! Liverpool have played 47 games this season and if they can reach the Champions League final, it will be their 63rd game of the season.

Klopp admits that the Liverpool squad is currently the strongest squad he has ever had since he took charge, and after the national team's match week, they are facing a crazy schedule of 56 days and 16 games, and the intensity of the game is still increasing. Manchester City and even Chelsea, the depth of the bench may be more than Liverpool, Manchester City in the 2018-19 season won the local competition "treble", this season although the 4 consecutive League Cup early out, but there is still a big "treble" opportunity.

It is easy to forget that Burnley once approached the "four champions", and in the 1960-61 season, when the four crowns may have just been born, they also reached the quarter-finals of the European Champions Cup. From 1985 to 1991, because English clubs were banned from participating in European competitions, the "four champions" in these 6 years of history did not even have theoretical opportunities.
