At the post-match press conference, Levi looked at the reporters in the audience with his head held high, as if a king looked at a slave.

"Before the game, I know you all thought Liverpool were going to lose. What happened? Tell me, who won!"

Although most of the reporters bowed their heads and said nothing, don't forget that there were local Liverpool media at the scene. They were Levi's loyal fans and immediately shouted: "It's Liverpool!"

Levi glanced at Manchester City coach Mancini, who arrived late, and said proudly: "This is a sport where 22 people run and play on the football field, and Liverpool wins in the end!"

A reporter retorted angrily: "Didn't Liverpool lose to Stoke City this season, can you guarantee that you will not lose in the next time?"

Li Weiang shook his head and said: "It is not Stoke City that beat Liverpool, but Liverpool's own state!"

Mancini couldn't help mocking: "Liverpool just won a three-game winning streak. Don't forget that Manchester City is No.1 in the standings now!"

Li Wei spread his hands and said with a sneer, "Then tonight, the No. [-] team in the league lost to...By the way, where are we in the league now? You know, I'm not like some people, I'm not in the league. I have been staring at the standings before halfway through. I always think that with this time, it is better to think about the game more, so as to win a few more championships. Unlike some coaches, they won an FA Cup I was so excited that I forgot my name. When I coached this team, I won one more championship than him, and I was not as excited as him. I didn’t know that he won the Champions League!"

The reporters in the audience burst into laughter, they all knew that Levi was talking about Mancini.

However, Mancini has no way to refute.

Whether it is the number of individual championships or the number of championships he won during Manchester City's coaching period, he was severely suppressed by Li Wei.

This made Mancini's eyes red with anger, and he stared at Li Wei.

"Liverpool Echo" reporter James answered Levi's question at this time. "Li Wei, you are amazing now! After Liverpool won Manchester City, they are on the same points as Chelsea in the standings, and they have overtaken Chelsea in the rankings by virtue of their goal difference. But it is a pity that you are not No.2. This time Chelsea was tied in the first round, so Manchester United overtook Chelsea and became No.2 in the new standings, Liverpool ranked third in the standings. If you want to ask the answer before the game, Liverpool was ranked fifth in the standings."

Li Wei looked at Mancini with a sneer and said, "Mr. Mancini is really amazing! After a league No. [-] was won by No. [-] in the league, they still have the face to publicize that they are No. [-] in the league!"

Mancini turned away angrily.

Without the object of Mancini's cynicism, Li Wei also felt boring. After accepting a few questions from the audience reporters, Li Wei also left the conference hall.

…………

From the original top ten in the league to No.3 in the current standings, Li Wei also breathed a sigh of relief.

He also began to wonder in his heart when he would be able to reach the first place in the league—he really didn't fool the reporters, he usually didn't look at the rankings on the standings, and only paid attention to them in January.He thinks it doesn't make much sense to pay attention to the situation on the standings before January, it will only increase his psychological pressure, and so what if you are number one in the league before January?
In the Premier League, it is not uncommon for the half-time champion to fail to win the championship. On the contrary, since the establishment of the Premier League in 1992, only eight of the nineteen half-time champions finally won the championship. In other words, the probability of winning the half-time champion is only 40.00%. Two, not even half of it.

On the contrary, in the Premier League, there was a big difference in points between No.1 and No. [-] in January. As a result, a big reversal was staged in the second half. The most famous is that Manchester United reversed Newcastle United to win the championship when they were [-] points behind.

Therefore, Li Wei is more willing to focus and time on the game and play himself well.

Just turning on the football software on his phone, Li Wei was secretly surprised by Manchester City's previous results.

This season Manchester City is really going against the sky.

Previously, Li Wei thought that Manchester City's No.1 in the standings was not very valuable, but after looking at the standings, he found that Manchester City is very good.It's no wonder that the media as a whole clamored in the newspapers that Manchester City would create a massacre at Anfield Stadium.

Before the match against Liverpool, except for Manchester City's 2:2 draw with Fulham in the [-] rounds of the Premier League, the results of the other [-] games were all victories!
Before losing to Liverpool, Manchester City won seven consecutive league victories and scored 21 points in seven games!
This is really too bad to have no friends!

Although Manchester City is awesome, Li Wei couldn't help shaking his head after seeing Manchester City's results in the Champions League.

Manchester City is currently ranked third in the Champions League group stage, with only seven points after five rounds of the group stage. Although it is only one point behind Naples, which is ranked second, there is not much hope of advancing.

Because in the last round of the group match, Manchester City played against the German overlord Bayern Munich, while Naples played against the famous weak chicken Villarreal in the group match.

Yes, the yellow submarine back then has now become a veritable weak chicken. He lost all five rounds in the group stage and didn't get a point. Not to mention, he only scored two goals and conceded twelve ball.

It was also a weak chicken in the group stage, and Genke Football Club, the weak chicken in Liverpool's group, also won two points by virtue of the draw.

No matter how you look at it, I feel that Naples is more likely to win Villarreal, who has lost the will to fight, than Manchester City to win the Bundesliga overlord Bayern Munich.

It's just that Li Wei is not happy that Manchester City's Champions League journey is not going well. It's not that Li Wei still has a deep affection for Manchester City. After only one season of coaching, he said how much he loves Manchester City. Isn't this a blatant lie?

But if Manchester City qualify in the Champions League, they may focus on the Premier League, and their chances of winning the championship will greatly increase.

Some fans are surprised, the third place in the group stage can also play in the Europa League!
Question Will Mancini focus on the Europa League?Compared with the Champions League, for Mancini, the Europa League is a tasteless tasteless rib that is a pity to discard. Maybe the status of the Europa League is in Mancini's mind even the FA Cup and the League Cup. Not as good.

After all, there are many teams from small countries in the Europa League. If they are unlucky, they have to fly to Russia to play in the ice and snow, or go to Turkey to play in the devil's home court and travel long distances.In contrast, both the FA Cup and the League Cup are played within England, and it is much easier for players to play.

Even if Levi doesn't want to admit it, he has to admit that Manchester City has surpassed Manchester United and has become Liverpool's biggest rival on the road to the league title!
At least Manchester United still has the Champions League to involve his energy, Manchester City is playing lightly... Now I have to pray that Villarreal will be better, at least they can draw with Naples, and Manchester City can beat Bayern Munich at home.

…………

Li Wei's attention to Manchester City is only temporary. After all, Manchester City is only one of the competitors. If Liverpool want to win the championship, they must be strong enough.

After the post-match press conference, Levi returned to the locker room and announced that some players would take a day or two off tomorrow.

The reason why some players are only allowed to take vacations is that Li Wei is also a little helpless. On the 27th, it was a game against Manchester City, but on the evening of the 29th, it was a game against Chelsea.

If Li Wei lets the whole team take a day off tomorrow (28th), and on the evening of the 29th, they will play against Chelsea. According to the relationship, they will only do some restorative training on this day, and the training itself will not be too long. It ends early at about [-]:[-].So that the players have enough time to rest and prepare for the evening game.

The reason why we say one to two days off is because individual players Levi decided to let them take a good rest.

This devil's schedule has caused Liverpool's injuries to surge, and Levi doesn't want to have any more injuries.

Allowing players to rest for two days and relax their body muscles is undoubtedly a good way to reduce injuries.

What's more, players are also human beings, and they also need to be happy, otherwise, is it interesting to play football (work) every day?

The main players of the team basically got a day off, not to mention the players, Suarez, Bell, Neymar, Neuer, Levi gave them two days off.Although this vacation is not long enough, it is enough for them to go to the warm south of Spain and Italy, bask in the sun on the beach, and enjoy the blue sea and blue sky.

They went on a trip, and Levi would naturally not let them play in the game against Chelsea.

It's not that Levi looks down on Chelsea, but that he doesn't think Chelsea will be the main players.

…………

Time passed quickly, and soon came the evening of the 29th.

An hour before the game, Li Wei got Chelsea's starting list for this game.

The fact is the same as Li Wei predicted. This game is not a league game, but a quarter-final of the League Cup. In addition, this time Chelsea is lucky to play at home.

Boas naturally did not play with all the main players, but chose a large rotation to give some young players a chance to play.Lukaku, Romeu, McKellen, Bertrand and other teenagers got the starting position.

Of course, Boas is not prepared to give up this game, just as Li Wei also attaches great importance to this game, Boas also hopes to win the game and enter the League Cup semi-finals.

Although the League Cup can be said to be the trophy with the lowest gold content in the four major leagues except for those Super Cups, no matter how low the gold content is, it is recognized by football as a championship trophy.Who doesn't want to win a few more championship trophies in his coaching career?

Therefore, in addition to the young players, Boas also arranged for Torres, Lampard, David Luiz, Malouda and other main players to start.
