Chapter 1295 Chilean Engineer

On loan to Coutinho's club, Levi has locked the target.

Southampton or Leicester City.

The reason for choosing these two clubs is very simple. Levi has shares in them, and Coutinho can get more opportunities to play through the influence of the board of directors.And I believe that the head coach of the opposing club will decide to give Coutinho the main position after using Coutinho a few times.

The primary goal is Southampton. Leicester City played a half-barrel defensive counterattack, which is not suitable for a player like Coutinho.In contrast, Southampton's coach Pochettino advocates offensive play. Under his coaching, Southampton not only has good results, but also has many young players.After arriving at Tottenham Hotspur, he also trained many young players.

But in the end, whether Coutinho can succeed on loan depends on the outcome of the negotiations.Even if it is a free loan player, it does not mean that you can loan it to whoever you want.

…………

After the conversation, Levy announced that Griezmann and Coutinho were sent to the reserve team for a week, which was punishment for the two.After that, although Li Wei didn't say it, the coaching staff has deliberately conveyed a cryptic message that Coutinho will be loaned to other teams to play.

Hearing this news, Griezmann, who was very unhappy, immediately felt better.What is it to drive away Coutinho, a nasty bastard, compared to a week of training for the reserve team?
…………

In the quarter-finals of the League Cup, Liverpool challenged Stoke City away.

Because it has reached the quarter-finals, both sides pay more attention to this game.

Liverpool's trident started together, but Hazard did not start. Levi sent a lineup of three midfielders, which is to strengthen the defense.

In the end, Liverpool beat Stoke City 2-0 and reached the semi-finals of the League Cup.

Liverpool drew the "black cat" Sunderland, which is a good draw.

The other two teams participating in the semi-finals are Manchester City and West Bromwich Albion.

The semi-finals will be held in January and will be divided into two rounds. The outside world is generally optimistic about Liverpool and Manchester City returning to the final.But Liverpool has not reached the time to take it lightly. The League Cup and the FA Cup are hotbeds of upsets, and upsets often occur.

For example, last season, in the FA Cup final, Manchester City lost to the relegated team Wigan Athletic in the end.

…………

Back in the league, it is already the No.17 round, Liverpool continued their winning momentum, and Cardiff City had been promoted 3-0 in the first half.

In the second half of the game, Liverpool players started to run less, slowing down the pace of the game.After all, Liverpool now play double games a week, even if they rotate frequently, the players will inevitably feel tired about it.But Cardiff City is different. They are newly promoted, so they don't have the task of European war. In order to avoid relegation, they don't even fight for the League Cup. They directly put on a group of substitutes and were eliminated early.

In the 8 minutes of the first half, Murray took the lead in scoring with a single goal.

Liverpool played very hard, No.806 minutes, and was almost scored again. The central defender Caulker hit the crossbar with a header and flew out of the bottom line.

In the end, Liverpool beat Cardiff City 3-1 without any risk.

However, for Liverpool, winning this game is not the end of problems, but the beginning of one.

Liverpool has a physical problem. I believe anyone who has watched Liverpool's match against Cardiff City knows this.It also means that it is likely that other teams will think they have found a way to deal with Liverpool.Strict defense in the first half and counterattack in the second half.

Although such a tactic may not necessarily make Liverpool lose in a row, it will make it difficult for Liverpool to win the next games. One after another, Liverpool will collapse sooner or later.

The next game will be a strong dialogue.

Some media jokingly called it - "League Cup final preview".

That's right, Liverpool's opponent is Manchester City.

…………

Manchester City changed their head coach this summer, Manuel Pellegrini, dubbed the "Chilean engineer" by fans.

Compared with his predecessor Mancini, Pellegrini's personal style is closer to "Professor" Wenger, with silver hair and always a gentle look.

It was also the head coach who single-handedly created the famous "yellow submarine".

On July 2004, 7, Pellegrini came to the Spanish club Villarreal and officially started his career in European football.

Under the guidance of Pellegrini, Villarreal has gradually become a force that cannot be underestimated in La Liga and Europe.In the first season, he won the league No.3, entered the UEFA Champions League in the second year, and advanced to the quarter-finals in the UEFA Cup this year.In the following year, he reached the semi-finals of the 2005-2006 UEFA Champions League, losing to the Premier League team Arsenal and seventh in La Liga.

In the next two seasons, the team ranked No.5 and runner-up in the league respectively. The runner-up is already the best result in Villarreal's league history. In the 2008-2009 season, Villarreal reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League, No.5 in the league.

Villarreal were just a team that had just reached the top flight for four years when Pellegrini took over.Yet he has brought them within a few steps of the pinnacle of European football, even though his budget has never been generous, and even those players, like himself, were a gamble when they arrived.His outstanding record and excellent tactical concept quickly attracted the attention of many giants.

In the end, Pellegrini won the favor of Real Madrid and became the new captain of the Galacticos.

It's a pity that, like many Real Madrid coaches, Pellegri was not able to coach Real Madrid for a long time. After one season, he was fired.His successor is Mourinho.

Last season, he coached the "civilian team" Malaga. Under his coaching, Malaga entered the Champions League for the first time and achieved the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

With his excellent results, Pellegri got the attention of Manchester City.

Currently under his coaching, although Manchester City's performance has been bumpy, its performance is still remarkable.

And now this powerful dialogue is a key battle.

In the standings, Manchester City ranks third, while Liverpool ranks first.By winning this game, Manchester City can not only shorten the point difference with No.1 Liverpool, but also reverse Arsenal and become No.2.

In order to be able to win the opponent, both sides went all out in this game.
