Several girls in bikini, hand-passing the bottle of rose wine is already half empty. Next to that, a middle-aged man jumped so passionately that his back was wet with sweat. They all beam brightly, don’t wear masks, let alone social distance, follow New York Times. “This is the first and possibly the last dance. So I’ll enjoy it, ”shouted Nick Evans (28 years old), a legal advisor before immersing himself in the crowd. Party events in Liverpool are an attempt to test how feasible the reopening is in practice. Photo: Anthony Devlin / Getty. Since the Covid-19 pandemic hit the UK in March 2020, nightclubs have remained closed. If people want to, people have to go to illegal parties. Last summer, thousands of partygoers did this, giving UK police and lawmakers a headache. However, the situation may change soon. In February, Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that thanks to the rollout of the Covid-19 vaccine, he hopes all restrictions on social life in the country will be lifted by June 21. That would include allowing clubs to reopen, based on recent trials at Liverpool. Low risk Liverpool nightclub is the opening event of the aforementioned tests. After that, a pop concert for 5,000 people in the circus tent was also held in the city. Some scholars criticize these parties as the “human guinea pig experiment”, but scientist Iain Buchan from the University of Liverpool, who led the trial, confirmed the rate of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the UK. so low that the likelihood of an outbreak is very small. “According to official data, 69 cases of Covid-19 were reported in Liverpool in the week prior to the event. The risk of having someone virus-positive there could be 1 in 5,000, ”Buchan analyzed. In order to get inside, participants must take the Covid-19 test at one of the 4 official quarantine centers in Liverpool, then upload the results to the website to link with their ticket. However, once the screening was passed, the crowd attending the party freely acted as if a pandemic had never happened. Does not require wearing a mask, social distance, even using hand sanitizer. Participants must test Covid-19 and then upload the results to the website to link with their entry ticket. Photo: Carl Recine / Reuters. “It feels like Covid-19 never existed here. It’s strange and relieved to have the mask removed after a year of doing this, ”said Aidan Crisp (20 years old), a student. Adele Schofield (50 years old), a lawyer, said: “I was a bit worried before coming. But as soon as I entered, I almost burst into tears because I saw everyone dancing like everything was normal again, ”she said. Alice Mitchell (20 years old) said the only thing that surprised her was the ban on carrying hand sanitizer. A security guard made Mitchell throw it away while drinking. Buchan says the trials are about finding ways in which clubs can reopen. This includes whether people are satisfied with pre-testing and linking results to admission tickets; follow the movements of everyone inside; Uses sensors to check carbon dioxide levels and ventilation. Many people are happy to take off their masks to party in Liverpool. Photo: Carl Recine / Reuters. In March, Dutch researchers conducted a similar experiment with the participation of 1,300 party attendees. “They only see the masks for the first 5 minutes,” said Buchan. Then everyone just threw them away ”. The UK has more than 1,400 nightclubs, according to the Night Industry Association, which represents these types of entertainment venues. Many of them were forced to lay off staff because of the pandemic. Others have a chance to reopen. Fabric, London’s popular 1,500-person club, sold out tickets for a 42-hour reopening party starting June 25. The Cause, the London club, was also close to selling out tickets for the same event that weekend. Owners of four nightclubs in the UK say they welcome Liverpool’s experimentation, but feel it needs more to reflect the different types of spaces. “We are not a warehouse,” said Dan Beaumont, owner of the Dalston Superstore, London’s famous club for the LGBTQ + community. If British clubs were to reopen in June, this would be considered anomalous in Western Europe. In Berlin (Germany), entertainment venues are scheduled to reopen outdoors this summer when dancers are asked to wear masks. On April 29, French President Emmanuel Macron said he hopes to lift most of the restrictions in the country by June 30, but the nightclubs will remain closed. Many DJs have said they want clubs to reopen as soon as possible, not just because of their work. DJ Marea Stamper said after performing at the event in Liverpool: “We went to the nightclub to dance, drink, fall in love and meet friends. It creates communities and cutting it off is terrifying ”. In Liverpool, that sense of “community” was evident at 19:30 when Yousef Zahar, DJ and co-owner of the Circus event organizer, stepped onto the stage. In the first song, he included a house tune named When We Were Free. Then, when a green light shone through the crowd, Zahar played more cards Free (roughly translated: Free) , the hit of the ’90s. As soon as the chorus “You are free, do what you want”, paper fireworks were launched and the crowd began to sing along. For the rest of the night, they will follow the song’s advice. Paper fireworks exploded in the sky, scattered throughout the exciting party space. Photo: Anthony Devlin / Getty.

Spanish media reported that MU is in contact with Barcelona about midfielder Miralem Pjanic’s transfer. MU plans to rescue Pjanic According to Fichajes, the idea of ​​taking Pjanic was proposed by coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to MU BLD. Pjanic is going through a difficult season at Barca, when he is out of the plan of coach Ronald Koeman. Barca confirmed that he wanted to liquidate Pjanic, in the process of refreshing the squad towards the 2021-22 season. Pjanic is 31 years old, but Solskjaer believes that the Serbian midfielder still brings important solutions to the midfield MU. Milan asked to borrow Trincao Milan continues its policy of recruiting young players on loan (with or without buyback terms), with new goals for Francisco Trincao. Milan asked to borrow Trincao Currently, Milan is still in transition, and the loan of players is very important in the face of the difficult financial situation. Trincao was bought by Barca last year but did not have many opportunities to play. He has only played 609 minutes of La Liga this season. Milan chose Trincao to replace Brahim Diaz – who ran out of loan and returned to Real Madrid at the end of the season. Two other Italian teams are also in contact to borrow Trincao, Juventus and Atalanta. Liverpool recruits Watkins Liverpool prepares for a new project by recruiting Ollie Watkins – Aston Villa’s rising striker. Ollie Watkins is a target for Liverpool The dependence on Salah – Roberto Firmino – Mane makes Liverpool pay a heavy price, failing on all fronts this season. Liverpool needs to create competition on attack, and Jurgen Klopp appreciates Watkins’ dynamism. The 25-year-old English striker scored 12 goals in the Premier League this season. He stands out with a very wide range of movements. Liverpool decided to sell off Takumi Minamino (loaned to Southampton), Xherdan Shaqiri and Divock Origi to make room for Watkins.

President Ceferin of UEFA. Photo: Getty. On the evening of April 20 (Hanoi time), The Times bringing one of the clubs MU, Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool may consider withdrawing from the Super League. Initially, the British “Bix Six” team was excited about the Super League project and agreed to participate as a co-founder. However, English teams, especially Liverpool and MU, faced fierce opposition from fans. Liverpool fans even burned shirts and raised banners to protest in front of Anfield. Fans of MU, Arsenal, and Tottenham also made drastic moves. Mundo Deportivo it is predicted that the first England team to withdraw from the Super League could be Man City or Chelsea. Super League is facing a stiff response from UEFA. On the afternoon of April 20, the World Football Federation (FIFA) spoke up to support UEFA. President Gianni Infantino stressed that the Super League wants to be separated from the football system. The head of FIFA declared that the teams have two options: to stay present, or to shake everything to go to the Super League. “There is no such thing as clubs on both sides,” Infantino said. Previously, UEFA threatened to remove the names of clubs from the domestic league and the playing fields under the organization’s management. The Premier League, La Liga and Serie A support UEFA’s plan. President Ceferin also warned players who played in the Super League are banned from EURO. In the opposite direction, only President Florentino Perez spoke up. The Super League head dismissed all criticism, and threatened the tournament. Perez said players should be assured because there will be no basis to ban them from attending the EURO or the World Cup.

In the very long time between those two shots, Salah and his teammates tried their luck many times, but not once succeeded. It is worth mentioning that 13 out of 15 shots that Liverpool have taken took place in the penalty area. However, with only 4 on target, it can only be said that Juergen Klopp’s students played very badly. And when eliminated, they should blame themselves for leaving the Champions League.

Klopp said Liverpool needed a better performance than the first leg to dream of a comeback. They did, at least in the early part of the game, putting great pressure on Real with intensity and speed. The expected 1.23 goal index greater than the 0.83 they had at Madrid last week also underscores the difference. There is, as James Milner sadly said after the game, “we did everything, other than scoring 2 goals.” And that is the reason why Klopp regrets, that his team “lost in Madrid, not tonight”.

The question is, why did Liverpool lose the consistency they had, and then put themselves in such a bad place? They have been playing erratically over the past several months and in a confusing way, always becoming less sharp when playing at Anfield. Wednesday night was the 7th of the last 10 home matches in all competitions, Salah and his teammates could not find the opponent’s net.

The goalless draw against Real at Anfiled officially turned Liverpool (red shirt) into a blank in the 2020/21 season.

Hope for a broken feat, Liverpool has to face the reality of an empty season. More seriously, they also risk not being able to re-export the Champions League to get revenge next season. The Kop has been drifting outside of the top 4 for 2 months now and 6th place, 2 points behind Chelsea, 3 points West Ham makes coming back a real challenge. Their journey will start at Leeds’ Elland Road at the weekend. And overcoming physical torture with players physically tired, mentally downhill after 90 minutes filled with disappointment and regret at Real will reveal how successful they are. .

But the challenge for Klopp has not stopped. The defeat against Real has shown that Liverpool need a drastic overhaul to upgrade the squad. 7/11 names in the starting lineup at Anfield have played in the Champions League final against Real in 2018. If not because of injury, this number is even higher. In the second half of the game, when the opponent regained the rhythm and Liverpool increasingly withered their ideas, the players Klopp brought into the field did not help improve the situation. So depth quality is also an issue.

However, Klopp’s summer revolution, in addition to the task of retaining stars like Salah and Sadio Mane, depends greatly on where Liverpool is at the end of the season. A vicious circle. And with that said, they can only blame themselves for falling there.

When Anfield was no longer a mecca

This is the 11th match this season (in all competitions), Liverpool failed to score goals. Amazingly, 9 of them took place at Anfield. Under the guidance of Klopp in the previous time, lasting more than 4 seasons, The Kop has only 9 times without scoring at home and no season more than 3 games.

“Liverpool played excellently, actively and created many opportunities. But this kind of match takes a few crucial moments. We don’t have, and we don’t have a goal. Finishing has been a problem for The Kop all this season., Said Klopp.

MU is full of hope to win the signature of Declan Rice, according to the latest English midfielder’s reaction.

Declan Rice wants to join MU

The British press reported that Declan Rice has just asked West Ham for him to be transferred to MU when the season ends.

Declan Rice is currently a key player in West Ham. He helped the London team race the top 4 Premier League.

MU is always interested in Rice. Solskjaer wants this 22-year-old player to increase fighting power for the midfield.

Most likely, MU will use Jesse Lingard to exchange with West Ham for Declan Rice.

Liverpool asked to buy Ousmane Dembele

Liverpool has just sent a representative to contact Barcelona, ​​asking about the transfer of Ousmane Dembele.

Liverpool targets Ousmane Dembele

Liverpool’s 2020-21 season was a heavy defeat on the fronts, so it was faced with the farewell of a series of players.

The British press said that Sadio Mane confirmed he left Anfield after losing to Real Madrid in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Ousmane Dembele was chosen to replace Mane, becoming a new factor in attack in the 2021-22 season.

For several weeks now, Dembele and Barca have been negotiating to extend the contract as unsuccessful. The Catalunya club can completely sell French players to Liverpool.

Barca acquired Dani Olmo

In addition to Erling Haaland and Sergio Aguero’s goals, Barcelona are implementing plans to recruit Dani Olmo.

Barca wants to bring Dani Olmo back to the Nou Camp

Dani Olmo is in outstanding form with RB Leipzig, scoring 5 goals and making 11 assists. He is also a promising factor for the Spanish team.

Barca chose Dani Olmo to increase flexibility for the game, when the 22-year-old player played very versatile.

Dani Olmo was a member of Barca’s La Masia academy, before moving to Dinamo Zagreb (Croatia), and now impresses with Leipzig.

The cost for Barca to take Dani Olmo back to the Nou Camp is about 40 million euros.

Perhaps what remains about Liverpool for those who watch the quarter-finals of the Champions League 2020-2021 second leg can only be described in two words: fading. Because when cornered, when there is nothing to lose, even if the opponent is a mighty Real Madrid, Liverpool fans still expect their beloved club to have a real match. the fierce, truly bloody, as the tradition never gives up that they are always proud of. But the end is probably just sighs, deep feelings about a fact: Liverpool is no longer itself.

Liverpool played too faintly in front of a brave Real Madrid.

Entering the life-and-death match after losing 1-3 to Real Madrid in the first leg quarter-finals, Liverpool was clearly cornered, and Jurgen Klopp did everything he could. It is a muscular midfield with Fabinho, Georginio Wijnaldum and James Milner, he even uses Roberto Firmino, which is happily known as a “defensive striker” when frequently backing down to support the defense, with determined to strangle the “old men” like 35-year-old Luka Modric, 31-year-old Toni Kroos, 33-year-old Karim Benzema … right in the middle of the pitch, not allowing them to form a connection with each other. From there create opportunities for Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah above. They even have a big advantage when Real Madrid are having a serious crisis in defense, when in front of Thibaut Courtois two names that rarely match: Eder Militao and Nacho. Even Zinedine Zidane had to withdraw midfielder Federico Valverde to play at right-back because there was no better substitute in that position. With such advantages, Liverpool fans dreamed of a “magical Istanbul night”, dreaming of a divine comeback.

However, after the match ended, Liverpool still could not score any goals against a Real Madrid with a patchwork defense. One can say Real Madrid is too brave, too comprehensive when playing defensively is also so good, but above all, it is necessary to recognize the fact that Liverpool is only their own shadow in the seasons. recently. A Liverpool who regularly played rock and roll passionately on the football field under Jurgen Klopp was gone. When the excitement of playing football has decreased with the titles, when the fitness is no longer full, Liverpool is becoming more mediocre than ever.

At the moment of strength, Jurgen Klopp’s teachers and coaches engulfed the opponent with a crazy pressing style, with fast-paced ball lines from the two sides, with lightning-fast attacks with Sadio’s sweeping power. Mane, Mohamed Salah’s ability to take chances and Roberto Firmino’s technique. But when the duo Andrew Robertson – Trent Alexander-Arnold on two sides lost their form, Sadio Mane became mediocre when the fitness went down, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino were no longer sharp enough, all that Liverpool could do. is a plump zero.

This will definitely be an empty season for Liverpool, and the only goal they can strive for is only a Champions League place next season. This will also be a necessary silence for Jurgen Klopp to have a more accurate view of what he has in hand, to have the right direction in the upcoming summer transfer window 2021. Hopefully in the new season a bloody Liverpool will return strongly.

On April 10, Real Madrid defeated Barca in a super classic match. It was also the match that Zidane had to use a series of “B class” players such as Alvaro Odriozola, Isco, Marcelo, Eder Militao.

Answering the reporters, the French legend could not hide his anxiety. He is afraid the home team “runs out of battery”. After the super classic match, Real Madrid had to move to Merseyside to meet Liverpool in the quarter-finals of the Champions League second leg.

Distracted Zidane?

Zidane’s real suffered many physical and mental losses from the beginning of the season. A ruthless storm of trauma swept the headquarters of the club, causing the team to lose people consecutively.

“Los Blancos” shuffled it. Each time, Zidane received criticism. He was also questioned by President Perez after a bad start in the Champions League group stage.

Amidst the storm, the fate “Zizou” is still saved. Stars like Karim Benzema, Luka Modric or Toni Kroos … have “loaded” all the best qualities to pull the teacher out of the quagmire.

However, that also does not help the French legend get rid of skepticism. At one point, everything seemed to shut down for Zidane. He had to “hide” in the dressing room.

The relationship between the French rulers and President Perez is said to be no longer salty. That partly comes from the controversy related to central defender Sergio Ramos.

The Real Madrid star informed Zidane that he had to undergo surgery and needed 6-8 weeks of rest. The French strategist is said to have not communicated with the club.

The move of “Zizou” further divided his relationship with other high-ranking figures. At that time, everyone said that the former “Les Bleus” player was very passionate about the team.

Immediately, a warning bell about Zidane’s future rang out in the Bernabeu courtyard. The French legend still has a contract with the club until June 2022, but that does not guarantee anything.

During his first term at Real Madrid, “Zizou” left the club before the binding effect ended. That was 2018, not long after the Champions League final.

Zidane and President Perez once existed a close relationship, but there was a time when the most powerful man representing Madrid “fell in love” with captain of the team.

President Perez is even said to probe the situation of coaches like Max Allegri, Antonio Conte, Julian Nagelsmann and Joachim Loew … If Real Madrid slips, a ruthless decision could be made by the club’s super-head. given.

Zidane understands that. In recent days, thoughts in this ruler have started to shake. After winning Liverpool in the quarterfinals of the first leg of the Champions League, the French legend said: “Back to leading Juventus? That place is still important to me.

But now I’m coaching the best football team in the world and I feel lucky. ”

Zidane always has plans B. In January, before the match against Celta Vigo, former Juventus star said: “You can sign a 10-year contract here (Real Madrid – PV), but tomorrow you can leave completely. On the contrary, you can sign a year and stay for a long time.

El Confidencial for that “Zizou” mind began to flutter. The 48-year-old strategist no longer holds a firm stance. Specifically, Zidane is looking for another opportunity if the club no longer needs him.

It is not easy for Real Madrid to find a “copy” of Zidane on the coaching chair. Photo: Getty.

The value of Zidane

At Real Madrid, cruelty is everywhere. The world doesn’t stop for one person either. Zidane is very good, but not bigger than the team. Outside of President Perez’s office, many candidates were willing to wait for the opportunity.

Zidane is unique. On ESPN, journalist Mark Ogden once described the excitement of “Zizou” in that he knows how to solve problems. On the field, the French captain always finds the formula to win.

The French strategist has done that. From Madrid to Anfield, Zidane’s Real Madrid subdued Liverpool and Barca, respectively. “Los Blancos” did that even when Cristiano Ronaldo left the club, famous midfield pair Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane were sidelined for different reasons.

Zidane also has a close relationship and is in regular contact with Kylian Mbappe, the target of President Perez. El Confidencial revealed “Zizou” persuaded his compatriot striker to go to Madrid, and Mbappe fell in love.

Recently, France Football said Mbappe refused to renew his contract with PSG. He wants to wear a Real Madrid shirt “at request from Zidane”. Kylian Mbappe even refused 3 offers to extend the contract that the Parc des Princes team made.

If Mbappe goes to Real Madrid, it is because he wants to work with Zidane. A few days ago, President Perez was re-elected and will run the club until 2025. The most powerful man in the team will have many projects to do.

The Madrid representative’s plan could be broken if Zidane is no longer there. Up to now, the French legend has not yet confirmed whether he will continue to stick or break up with “Los Blancos”. This worries President Perez.

On the morning of April 15, Zidane put on a patchwork, if not the worst, squad to face Liverpool at Anfield. At the end of the match, the representative of Madrid completed the goal when they won a 0-0 draw, the score was enough to help the club reach the semi-finals.

Zidane humbly celebrates, and that is also a message to President Perez. Even without a really powerful squad, Real Madrid still advanced in the Champions League and was part of the race to win the La Liga championship.

If President Perez handed Mbappe striker Mbappe to Zidane, Real Madrid would have created even more interesting things. For the most powerful man in the team, “Zizou” is the club’s priceless treasure. Keeping this military leader, the team is also close to owning Mbappe.

Casemiro is the best Real match against Liverpool The Brazilian defensive midfielder possesses impressive statistics on the day Zinedine Zidane’s team eliminated Liverpool from the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Chelsea advanced to the Champions League semi-finals for the first time in seven years, despite a 1–0 defeat in the second leg. Surprisingly, in Tuesday night’s game, Thomas Tuchel’s side failed to score and Porto did just that. In theory, the Blues’ expected goal tcoring (xG) is 1.1 and Porto’s is 0.6.

The same happened during PSG’s match against Bayern at the Parc des Princes. The home side played better, creating an expected 2.1 goals that did not once put the ball into the net, eventually receiving a 1–0 defeat to Bayern with only 1.3 goalscoring ability.

Fortunately for PSG, they have built a very good foundation from the first leg with a capital of three away goals. It was also a strange result, because in reality, Bayern were the better team that day. Hansi Flick’s pupils made 31 tackles and an expected goal t3.6, while PSG were much lower, just 1.3.

Bayern were eliminated after making 45 shots in two legs against PSG

These figures show that the Champions League is really attractive, fierce and extremely unpredictable. The team that played better, created more chances is unlikely to have won, and the winner is unlikely to be the team to go on. The result depends on quite a few factors and luck is an important factor. But above all, don’t lose in the first leg.

This seems bad news for Liverpool and Dortmund, who are plotting a comeback. Especially when they played very disappointingly in the first leg. Liverpool had an expected 0.83 goals in a 1–3 defeat to Real, while Dortmund were 0.97 in a 1–2 loss to Man City. According to analysis from the Euro Club Index, the yellow-and-black team has only a 13% chance of going on. Liverpool are slightly higher at 15%.

History of course doesn’t stand for under-weakers. In 13 defeats in the first leg of the knock-out rounds in European competition, Liverpool were eliminated up to 11 times. Similarly to Dortmund, they were eliminated from the Champions League 6/7 times in the first leg.

According to analysis from the Euro Club Index, Liverpool have a 15% chance of going on

Sometimes the feat occurs, as in the 2018/19 season Liverpool won 4–0 against Barca to reverse the previous 0–3 loss. But you know, if it happened often people didn’t call it a feat.

Not everything against Dortmund and Liverpool, though. Unlike Bayern and Porto, they played the second leg at home, and at home indeed, Signal Iduna Park with Anfield, rather than on the ground.

In addition, the task of both is also simpler with 1 goal achieved away. This is a huge advantage. Of those who won 2–1 in the first leg of the Champions League at home, the number of teams eliminated (15) was more than the next (12). And Real, who have played in the European Cup 10 times, led 3-1 at home, but were eliminated four times.

Liverpool on a legendary night out against Barca in 2019

So anything can happen. But quite certainly, Liverpool and Dortmund were forced to be better than themselves a week ago. They don’t need to create a lot of chances often, but when it comes, even with a very small table-to-table ability, they have to immediately turn them into goals.

Finally, you know, Champions League success has to do with luck. Liverpool, like Dortmund, should hope it is on their side so that everything they do is correct. As in 2019 at Anfield, Georginio Wijnaldum coming on as a substitute for Andrew Robertson was perhaps the best decision Juergen Klopp had ever made, with Divock Origi suddenly making a hero and telling him from God that Alexander-Arnold launched an unprecedentedly daring corner kick.

A crazy result can only be made up of moments of madness, and every number is always for reference only.
