it was the 2nd to the last match of this football season and the BPL title is on the line. the matchup? a mouth-watering liverpool vs chelsea. for the previous season, this would have been like the top of the table clash. and I bet when the english FA planned this fixture they might have been thinking, perhaps this liverpool vs chelsea match would be a crucial match for both teams.
they got it half right. chelsea was fighting for the title. liverpool was more like fighting not to be humiliated too much. been an abysmal season for them and while most will blame the americanism (the owners) at the management, others would see the spanish connection (benitez) as the weak link.
whoever it should be, much buzz was around the match last night. would liverpool roll over to prevent Man U take an unprecedented 4th consecutive and record 19th BPL title? or would they be professionals and make chelsea sweat for it?
then came the 1st goal of the match. gifted by captain liverpool himself steven gerrard. but hey it seemed like a genuine mistake and only the nerves should be blamed. however that goal really tilt the scales towards chelsea's favour and the game was safely tucked away 3 points to chelsea.
of course the whole liverpool team looked lifeless and at times, school boy-ish. but the biggest crime they committed? 3 chinese characters.
嘉士伯
I lost my respect for this red team.
