Six Hundred and Twenty-First Successful Defending!

The next day, the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals was all over, and the Champions League semi-finals were released.

Premier League: Liverpool.

Bundesliga: Bayern Munich.

La Liga: Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid.

Another day later, UEFA drew lots to determine the situation of the Champions League semi-finals!

Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid.

Atletico Madrid vs Liverpool.

The outside world is more optimistic about Liverpool and Bayern Munich meeting in the Champions League final, because Atletico Madrid is considered to be the limit to reach the semi-finals, while Real Madrid has been difficult to break into the final for many years, not to mention they are facing Bayern Munich, which is in full swing in the Bundesliga. Their old rival Guardiola.

Situ Yunbing doesn't seem to care about this. Liverpool has a major Premier League game to play this weekend.

Manchester City visit Anfield Stadium!

At the press conference before the game, Situ Yunbing said in an interview: "We experienced a Champions League battle in the middle of the week, so in order for the team to better prepare for the Champions League semi-finals, we will play at home. Make a big rotation, I know Manchester City are strong, but I don't think they have the strength to attack Anfield!"

Manchester City's championship only exists in theory, unless Liverpool loses five games in a row, they win five games in a row.

So at this time, if Pellegrini still dreams of winning the Premier League championship, it would be really whimsical.

But for Manchester City, they naturally want to beat Liverpool at Anfield to prove that they are better than Liverpool.

But when the weekend game came, people discovered that Situ Yunbing had set off a big smoke bomb!

Liverpool has no rotation, not a single one!

Exactly the same as their starting XI at Stamford Bridge in midweek!

Manchester City is trying their best to take all 3 points at Anfield and attack Liverpool's arrogance!

But facing Liverpool's full main lineup, and Liverpool's tactical play is the same as in the middle of the week, this makes Manchester City even if they want to declare their strength in the away game, they have to weigh whether the defense can withstand Liverpool's powerful counterattack firepower!

The sound of cheering at Anfield shook all directions,

The excitement of the team reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League continues. The fans have a hunch that this will be a great season recorded in history. Naturally, they will not miss every battle of Liverpool and will not have the slightest reservation in cheering , These are all their happy memories, and they also contribute their enthusiasm to the club.

Pellegrini was pacing on the sidelines, while Situ Yunbing was also supervising the battle.

The situation on the court is stalemate, the threats of the two teams are very limited, and the tactical goals of mutual restriction are clear at a glance.

The lingering shadow in Pellegrini's heart is what Situ Yunbing said when he met him in the first half of the schedule. He did not regard Manchester City as a roadblock on the road to glory. , then Liverpool will forcefully sweep away!

Judging from the league standings, Manchester City really can't become a stumbling block on Liverpool's way to win the championship. The reason why Pellegrini never forgets is to motivate himself all the time!

When the first half was coming to an end, Gerrard made a long shot from the front of Manchester City's penalty area and Joe Hart made a save. Suarez followed up and sent the ball into the goal!

Manchester City is 0:1 behind in the away game!

If there is any obvious weakness in Manchester City's lineup configuration, Joe Hart is a relatively obvious link.

Because he always has one or another problem with long-range shots, this is the goalkeeper's flaw.

Pellegrini felt a headache, but Situ Yunbing was at ease.

In fact, if there is anything to nitpick about this season, Liverpool was eliminated by Manchester City in the League Cup, Chelsea at the end of the league halfway, and Arsenal in the FA Cup.

In fact, losing a game occasionally is a very normal rule of football. No team can win all the time. Winning streak and undefeated are nothing more than the number of games. Keep it up.

For Situ Yunbing, what he has to do is to prevent the team from being overwhelming.

Just like playing against Manchester City, Liverpool lost in the League Cup and tied in the league, and now the second match in the league, if Liverpool draws or loses, then this season will be three games without a win for Manchester City!

Losing face is the second thing. In fact, no one cares whether the championship is convincing, but for the team's own construction, this is not a good phenomenon. At the same time, it will also stimulate the morale of Manchester City. confidence!

So this game not only cannot be lost, but must be won!

If there is no goal in the first half, Liverpool will definitely take the initiative to change their style of play to launch a mad attack in the second half!

After the intermission and the second half, players from both sides returned to the field to fight again, and Manchester City became more active.

This did not make Manchester City's offensive more threatening, but instead allowed Liverpool to get more good opportunities in the fast break.

Manchester City's main firepower offensive points this season are Aguero and Yaya Toure, but there will be a very fatal problem in the dialogue between the strong.

Once Yaya Toure is overly involved in the offense, Manchester City's midfield defense will have huge problems!

In the years since Yaya Toure moved from Barcelona to Manchester City, his position has been constantly moving forward. You must know that he used to play the role of midfielder and central defender under Guardiola in Barcelona!

But in Manchester City, from the defensive midfielder to the central midfielder, now it is almost the role of the midfielder and semi-free man!

He has scored more goals than Aguero and Dzeko this season. People can certainly see his role and threat in attack, but people can't get rid of the perception that he is an integral part of Manchester City's midfield defense. .

When he is overly involved in the offense, the defensive quality of Manchester City's midfield drops significantly. This is not noticeable when playing against a weak team, but it is fatal in a strong dialogue!

Liverpool's counterattack can more easily reach the 30-yard area in front of Manchester City's goal, and then whether it is a long-range shot or a more delicate pass and cut penetration, Manchester City's defense is devastated.

In the 67th and 79th minutes of the game, Gareth Bell succeeded in anti-offside twice in the fast break, and scored two goals with two shots.

Liverpool leads Manchester City 3-0 at home!

Pellegrini seems to be able to feel Mourinho's despair at this moment!

When competing with opponents at Liverpool's level, the more you want to win, the faster you may lose!

He also almost used actions to fully interpret Mourinho's remarks.

If Chelsea attack Liverpool's defense like Manchester City, Chelsea will die even worse!

When the whistle sounded for the end of the game, the fans cheered deafeningly at Anfield!

Then they shouted "Situ! Situ! Situ!"

Situ Yunbing went to shake hands with Pellegrini. The hurried handshake made Pellegrini feel very depressed. Situ Yunbing turned around and walked into the stadium to hug every Liverpool player.

At this moment, they announced to the world that they successfully defended the Premier League champion four rounds ahead of schedule!

The boss Henry also stood up and applauded in the box, with an extremely charming smile on his face.

Situ Yunbing hooked up with the players in the stadium, and then sang the team song with the fans in the stands. This scene was recorded by the cameraman on the sidelines. It must be a glorious and precious scene of Liverpool's current prosperity.

In an interview after the game, Situ Yunbing highly praised the performance of the players.

"We have been full of firm belief from the first day of the season. As the defending champions, the biggest crisis is not from the outside. Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United have completed the coaching change, they have introduced new players, and they will challenge us. Challenges and so on, these are not the biggest crisis, the biggest crisis comes from ourselves!

Many championship teams will relax, take it lightly, and have a childish mentality that they can win the championship again step by step!

My request to the team is to continue to work hard and become stronger, because we must do this if we want to successfully defend the title, because we must do the same if we want to achieve greater goals!

We have a good captain, his professionalism makes the atmosphere in the team very good, the players maintain positive energy from the beginning to the end.

There are also new players, Van Dijk, Azpilicueta, Kante, what is the reason why we performed better this season than last season? You can easily find the answer from them!

I think Liverpool's successful defense today has opened a new era in the Premier League!

When you only win one title, you are easily forgotten, like Blackburn, and when you can't win consecutive titles, you are also easy to be questioned, like Arsenal, only those who can go two years in a row and stay at the top for a long time The club with the best location will be a symbol of an era!

We're trying to do that right now, after the two-peat, I wouldn't say I'm thinking about the three-peat right now, I think let's not look ahead, let's just play the rest of the season and then Enjoy the results of this season and wait until next season actually arrives before we talk about the future. "

Situ Yunbing does not want to obliterate the contributions of the players. If he thinks that two consecutive championships are easy, it will only dampen the enthusiasm of the players.

Now is not the time to enjoy the victory, but the Liverpool club immediately released many positive signals. For example, Werner announced to the outside world that it has drafted a plan acceptable to both parties on the renewal contracts of many players in the team.

For example, the Liverpool club added an additional two million pounds to the championship bonus and so on.

The structure of Liverpool and the values ​​of the board of directors make Situ Yunbing more efficient in doing things with less effort, and having good helpers can save him a lot of worry.

When everyone is working towards the same direction and goal, the mood and motivation to do things are completely different.

And this is precisely the important factor behind the club's success, not simply because of Situ Yunbing's coaching, but his own credit.

In other words, even Situ Yunbing will suffer if the management of the board of directors lags behind.
