At three o'clock in the morning on April 19, Beijing time, the Red Army Liverpool will challenge Atalanta away to start the second leg of the Europa League quarterfinals. Looking back at the home matchup a week ago, Liverpool's 0:3 defeat undoubtedly poured cold water on fans, making people sigh that "the world of football is really unpredictable".
Although Liverpool are good overall in terms of quality, it will not be easy to pull off a stunning comeback on the road. After all, Liverpool's recent form can be described as extremely sluggish, with three consecutive games without a win, which has made the hearts of fans rise to their throats.
However, the roof leak happened to rain overnight. At this crucial moment, Liverpool suffered another blow when talented right wing-back Connor Bradley was absent through injury. The 20-year-old rising star at the back was Liverpool's right-hand man, and his absence undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the team. Fans sighed: "This Liverpool is really worse!"
Conor Bradley has been impressive this season, not only on the defensive end, but also on the offensive end. His absence has deprived Liverpool of an important link at both ends of the pitch. Someone joked: "It seems that in this life-and-death battle, Liverpool is going to sing 'empty city plan'!"
However, there is no shortage of wonders on the football field. Perhaps in this game, Liverpool will be able to turn the crisis into an opportunity and burst out with amazing energy. The soldiers of the Red Army will do their best, fight for glory and fight for the expectations of the fans. We wait and see, hoping that Liverpool can use their hard work and sweat to write a legendary story belonging to the Red Army. After all, in the world of football, "until the last minute, you never know what will happen". And the Reds Liverpool will never give up the pace of chasing victory.
