Liverpool, Man City and 10 stormy days: Should you let go of the FA cup for NHA, the C1 Cup?

Fans can hardly expect Liverpool and Man City to unleash their strength in both big battles in the context of the Champions League quarter-finals taking place at the same time.

The 2021/22 season is witnessing a fierce rivalry between Liverpool and Man City. After the League Cup title, Liverpool is on the way to becoming the first club in English football history to win the “triple four” while still hoping to win the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League. These are also the arenas Man City attends.

Liverpool will face Man City in the Premier League and FA Cup in just 6 days

Last weekend, the lucky draw brought Liverpool and Man City to face each other in the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley on April 16. Coach Jurgen Klopp himself put great determination on the match because this is the first time since 2015, Liverpool have entered the fourth round of strong teams. “Red Brigade” has not won the world’s oldest tournament for the past 16 years.

Even after the 1-0 victory over Nottingham Forest in the quarter-finals, the German coach loudly “stimulated” Man City: “I don’t think Liverpool is a dream draw for any opponent. We are sure. It’s going to be very difficult for them.”

More interestingly, 6 days before (April 10), the two teams were facing each other in the 32nd round of the English Premier League. This encounter has an important meaning in the race to win the top league title “foggy country” because currently, Man City is only 1 point ahead of Liverpool.

Thus, the ambition of “eating 3” of Man City or “eating 4” of Liverpool will be extinguished by the opponent next month. More than ever, the fans do not want this scenario to happen, and at the same time expect their favorite team to work hard to win.

Ironically, between the great battles in the English Premier League and the FA Cup, the two teams had to play two rounds of the Champions League quarter-finals, respectively taking place on April 6 (first leg), April 14 (second leg). . While Liverpool faced Benfica, Man City met Atletico Madrid.

4 big matches in 10 days, it is clear that Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola face an extremely difficult personnel problem because they cannot use the strongest squad during this time. In addition, the two leaders have to calculate for the rest of the Premier League (where Liverpool meets MU, NewcastleTottenham, and Man City against Newcastle, West Ham).

Interspersed with great battles in the domestic arena, Liverpool and Man City also have to focus on the Champions League quarterfinals

In the most likely case, Liverpool and Man City have to bite their teeth to “let go” of the FA Cup, which is always behind the Premier League and Champions League in terms of priority. Will the bravery of the two teams be shown when standing between difficult choices?
