The team returned to Liverpool dejectedly. Just when Levi was thinking about how to motivate the players, they had just left the hall when they found that the waiting hall was full of Liverpool fans—you must know that it is two o'clock in the morning!
Thousands of Liverpool fans hold flags inside Liverpool John Lennon International Airport.

"Welcome back, our warrior!"

"Just two goals behind, we can reverse the three goals we fell behind on the night of Istanbul! What are you afraid of!"

"We are with Liverpool! Never alone!"

"Chairman Mao has never seen such a powerful Red Army!"

Li Wei shouted to the players behind him: "For these lovely fans, why do we still focus on memories? We should hold our heads high and look forward! Win the League Cup, pay tribute to the fans, and more It's a tribute to our lives!"

The morale of the players was mobilized.

…………

The media that has a bad relationship with Li Wei will not make life easier for Li Wei, especially the reporters of the "Sun".

The next day, the players rested, and Li Wei had to go back to the club to work. In addition to being the head coach, he was also the chairman of the club.

Outside the office building, Levi met a reporter from The Sun who pestered him.

They asked: "Li Wei, how do you comment on yesterday's game?"

Levi asked back: "How do you evaluate the sales volume of The Sun in Liverpool?"

The reporters of The Sun did not give up. "Li Wei, under your leadership, Liverpool has won 25 consecutive unbeaten games in all competitions. Why did they get defeated by Naples 3:1 in the Champions League?"

Li Wei stood still, looked at the reporter of "The Sun" and said: "Are you a rookie who has just entered the industry? Isn't it normal that you win and lose in the game? I doubt your IQ very much. I am afraid to fight with you again." Talking, my IQ will be lowered!"

The reporter of the "Sun" turned blue and white.

…………

Although Li Wei boosted the morale of the players through various remarks and countered the media's ridicule of him, Li Wei was still short of the last thing-victory!
In football, there is no more powerful counterattack and evidence than this.

As long as you can win, no matter how radical your remarks are, you are a passionate head coach and a personality player. If you can’t bring victory, then you are a talkative head coach and a bad boy player.

Right now, nothing is more convincing than winning the League Cup.

…………

February 26, Wembley Stadium!
Liverpool VS Cardiff City.

Although Cardiff City appeared in the top league, it has to be traced back to 50 years ago, and even Cardiff City was upgraded to the English Championship in 2003.

But in the historical records of Cardiff City and Liverpool, what is surprising is that Cardiff City is the dominant side!
There have been 29 encounters between the two sides in history. Cardiff City have won [-] of them, drawn twice, and lost only nine times to Liverpool.

But in this game, there is no doubt that Liverpool is the most promising side.

In this game, except for the goalkeeper position, Li Wei attacked with all the main players.

The reason why the goalkeeper is Mattia Perrin, not Neuer, is because Li Wei has made it very clear to Neuer before the start of the season that in domestic cup competitions, Mattia Perrin will serve as The main goalkeeper starts, even in the final, Mattia Palin also starts.Because if the team can reach the final, it is also the result of Mattia Palin's own efforts, and he cannot deprive the opponent of the qualification to start in the final just because he is the second goalkeeper.

Neuer also expressed his understanding of this.

In the position of left and right back, Li Wei did not use a substitute, but chose Stefan Lichtsteiner and Felipe Luis who started three days ago to continue to start. At the center back, Li Wei chose Varane as his partner Gary Cahill.

Midfielder Gerrard partnered with Nainggolan, and Hazard continued to protrude forward.

Because of Lewandowski's concussion, Levi did not let Lewandowski take the risk of starting for the sake of safety. In fact, even Lewandowski did not make the list, but sat in the stands Support the team.

The "NSB" (Neymar, Suarez, Bell) combination came back.

…………

Cardiff City is naturally all the main players. Although the goalkeeper Heaton was born in Manchester United's youth training, he has never played for Manchester United.

But Li Wei has heard of his name. After Cardiff City was relegated in the future, Heaton was still active in the Premier League. Before he crossed over, Heaton was also selected for the England national team. Doubt this is also a recognition of Heaton's strength.This is a player who may not be particularly famous, but his strength is quite good.

Back: McNaughton, Hudson, Turner, Andrew Taylor lined up.

Cardiff City's most famous defensive line is their captain, and Hudson, who is 30 years old in a month.He is an experienced veteran. He once played for Fulham and followed Fulham to upgrade from the Championship to the Premier League. He once played for Crystal Palace and served as the captain of Crystal Palace.

Midfielder: Whitham, Gunnersson, Kovey, Masson.

Gersted partner Miller on the striker.

There is also something worth mentioning. There is a player named Anthony Gerrard sitting on the bench of Cardiff City. Does it feel similar to the name of Liverpool's captain?

It is no coincidence that he is closely related to Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard, his cousin.

Of course, compared with his cousin who has become a world superstar, Anthony Gerrard's football career is very average, and now he is only a substitute in a Championship team like Cardiff City.

…………

Facing the powerful Liverpool, Cardiff City coach Malky McKay's tactical thinking is very clear-iron barrel array!

Strive not to concede the ball, maintain the stability of the defensive formation, and must not be easily torn apart by the opponent.

Cardiff City manager Malky McKay believes that as long as his team can do this, they can guarantee a clean sheet.

Of course, doing so will inevitably sacrifice scoring ability.

Cardiff City's focus is on defense, what about offense?
Rely on the long pass!

The two forwards in Cardiff City's game, Gersted is a 1.9-meter high center forward, with a bald head, and his head lights up like a small light bulb under the light.A direct long pass to Gersted, and after Gersted got the ball, he passed the ball to his strike partner Miller.

Although Miller is not the best striker in shooting, he is the fastest striker in Cardiff City.On the counter-attack, his speed will be Cardiff City's most deterrent weapon.

That's Malky McKay's tactic.

Of course, with only two forwards in the offense, the possibility of scoring is not too great, but for Malky McKay, he is not pursuing goals.

If you can't score, then it doesn't matter if you keep a draw and finally have a showdown with Liverpool!
At least in everyone's opinion, if it really comes to a penalty shootout, Cardiff City has a good chance of winning.No matter how potential Mattia Palin has, he is only a 19-year-old player. In terms of experience, he is definitely not the opponent of the 26-year-old England goalkeeper Heaton.
