Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 1036 The Great Adversary

Situ Yunbing strives to be a good husband, a good father, and a good son-in-law. While cherishing the life he has in front of him, he is also working hard, but he always feels that it is far from enough. He does not spend enough time with his family. He feels that what he has given is not enough. Too little, while the wife gave and sacrificed too much.

It's just that his mentality is not as full of urgency and pressure as in the past nine years, and he can relax properly, so he can better plan and manage his life circle.

Liverpool rested for a week, and then went to Swansea away.

In the 24th round of the league, the Red Army challenged Swansea as a guest and they put on a full lineup.

Swansea, which ranks at the bottom of the league, has a huge risk of relegation this year. At home, every point is a must, but they did not frantically start a confrontation with Liverpool. They only expect to get one point at home and are satisfied.

Naturally, Liverpool couldn't let them get what they wanted. Situ Yunbing has also started to transform his tactics in training since this week.

When Mbappe made more personal breakthroughs in the game to form a point-to-face effect, Liverpool was a little uncomfortable at first, but soon the frontcourt attack in the second half of the game played smoothly.

After Mbappe got rid of the breakthrough on the right side of the front field, as long as it caused a chain reaction in the Swansea defense line, he quickly played the ball and then advanced into the penalty area. Liverpool attacked in the middle and then created a threat. The efficiency has improved a lot.

Gareth Bale responded to Eriksson's wonderful pass in the second half and scored a strong shot from the left side of the penalty area to give Liverpool the lead.

Immediately after Robertson responded from the wing, he hoisted the ball into the right rib area of ​​​​the penalty area. Mbappe's header ferry assisted Lewandowski with a volley and scored.

Liverpool took a two-goal lead in the away game and eventually defeated Swansea.

While Liverpool won Swansea, Manchester City also defeated Newcastle United 3:1 at home!
Manchester United beat Burnley by one goal in the away game, and Arsenal defeated Crystal Palace 4:1 at home.

Chelsea beat Brighton with four goals in the away game.

In the first group, only Tottenham shook hands with Southampton in a 1:1 away game in this round.

Liverpool, 68 points.

Manchester City, 68 points.

Arsenal, 62 points.

Manchester United, 49 points.

Chelsea, 47 points.

Tottenham, 42 points.

According to the current rhythm, this season's Premier League championship is really going to the script of "[-] points battle"!
The air battle between Situ Yunbing and Guardiola is in full swing.

There is no war of words between them, but they are all trying to make their teams play the most perfect performance to put pressure on each other!
In the middle of the week, Liverpool will be a guest to challenge Bristol City. In the second round of the League Cup semi-final, Situ Yunbing said in an interview before the game that the team will continue to use the starting lineup of the first round. He does not think that Bristol City can play at home. Comeback!

Some media over-interpreted Situ Yunbing's remarks, thinking that he was provoking and trying to anger Bristol City, which made Situ Yunbing feel ridiculous. With Liverpool's strength and status in the world, it would be a bit of a shame to use aggressive tactics against Bristol City. The son has lowered his status.

Coming to the home court of Bristol City, Liverpool did not play conservatively, but it was definitely tougher than the first round!

As long as Bristol City's offense passes halftime, Liverpool will intercept them fiercely. Even if they can't steal the ball, they will use fouls to delay the opponent.

For Bristol City, they lost 0:1 in the away game in the first round, and they want to make a comeback at home in the second round. Only by scoring at least one goal can they have a chance to drag the game into overtime.

But it happened that this goal was as difficult as reaching the sky!

Griezmann headed in from Maddison's cross at the start of the second half to give Liverpool the lead away from home.

Liverpool took a two-goal lead on aggregate.

Bristol City is basically gone!
When they launched a full counterattack, Liverpool's fast break and Griezmann assisted Sancho to complete the goal, which completely killed the suspense of the game.

Liverpool finally defeated Bristol City 2:0 away and advanced to the League Cup final with a total score of 3:0!
They will join Arsenal in the League Cup finale!
Although Bristol City were eliminated and failed to stage a miracle in the semi-finals, they have achieved great success in the League Cup this year, especially the broadcast revenue and home ticket revenue of the semi-finals against Liverpool. It's extremely rich, and there won't be too many regrets.

After the League Cup, the FA Cup is coming, and the frequency of Liverpool's schedule has reached the peak of history!

Fortunately, the opponents in the FA Cup are not strong. The Red Army is a guest to challenge Peterborough United. Situ Yunbing continues to use the lineup in the semi-finals of the League Cup to win more time for the main players to recharge their batteries.

Due to the huge difference in strength, Peterborough United did not have any power to fight back against Liverpool at home.

Griezmann and Sane teamed up to blast the opponent 6 goals!
Griezmann scored four goals, Sane scored twice, and Sancho scored a hat-trick of assists!

Madison, Guendouzi and Guerrero all had near-perfect performances in this game.

Liverpool beat Peterborough United 6-0 away!

Advance to the round of 16 in the FA Cup!
At the end of January, before the 1th round of the league, a small welcome party was held at the Melwood training base.

Azpilicueta returns to training!

In fact, he started training about 5 months after breaking his leg, but he did not return to the club, because he could not carry out high-intensity training, so there was no need to come to the Melwood training base, and then resumed training after several months of prudence , the intensity continued to increase, and Azpilicueta finally returned to the Melwood training base at the end of January 2018 to start training with the team!

This is officially back to the team.

Every player and coach took the initiative to embrace Azpilicueta. His return is not only a happy event, but also a positive stimulus to the team at this time.

Of course, Situ Yunbing is happy to see Azpilicueta's return, but he also understands that it may be difficult for Azpilicueta to regain the main position from Arnold.

On the one hand, Azpilicueta has not played for nearly a year. He needs to recover from the reserve team game. Secondly, the intensity of the game in the league is different, and it is even different in the Champions League. The difficulty is obviously graded.

Azpilicueta just resumes the game and regains his feeling. I am afraid that for the rest of this season, he can only be Liverpool's substitute at the right back position at best.

And by next season, he will be close to 30 years old. In the process, Arnold's maturity will inevitably make Azpilicueta be firmly pressed on the bench!
It can only be said that the broken leg incident caused Liverpool to complete the replacement at the right back position ahead of schedule.

As for Azpilicueta, he may have to face the rest of his career with the mentality of playing his remaining heat.

At the press conference before the 25th round of the league, Situ Yunbing happily announced the return of Azpilicueta to the outside world.

"Everyone of us is very excited and happy. Cesar is a strong and brave fighter. He has done a lot for Liverpool and will continue to fight for the team. He has gone through painful times, but he inspires with action. After killing all of us, he stood up again, and returned to us, fighting side by side with us!

I think he symbolizes the spirit of the Red Army! "

Although the reporters on Fleet Street are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, they also have a certain level of professionalism. It is impossible for them to think that Azpilicueta can return to Liverpool's main lineup in a short time. Arnold regained his main position in his hands.

But the return of Azpilicueta is bound to be a good addition to the Liverpool lineup.

Even if Azpilicueta's impact drops and his physical condition is not as good as before, his experience, especially his understanding of skills and tactics after following Situ Yunbing for many years, will definitely allow him to continue to play a role in Liverpool. There is no doubt about it.

Situ Yunbing talked about the championship situation in the league, he said with a smile: "Manchester City is the biggest surprise of the Premier League this season, sometimes I can't help but think, why is it like this?
We don't have a lead in the standings? !

This is incredible!
If you tell Ferguson that after 24 rounds of the league, your team has scored more than 65 points, you are at the top of the list, but there is someone beside you, Ferguson will definitely tell you with a smile: Don’t be silly, kid, that’s not true. possible!
But now the situation is that Manchester City and Liverpool will feel strange.

We were all thinking: why hasn't he lost yet? "

The reporters at the scene burst into laughter.

Situ Yunbing continued: "I have been troubled by this. When my wife asked me why I was depressed, I said I didn't know what else to do to get rid of competitors, but she told me that you have put in all your efforts. , your opponent is also going all out, are you satisfied with the current results?

This made me suddenly realize that Manchester City has achieved 22 wins and 2 draws, and Liverpool has also achieved 22 wins and 2 draws. This is already the best record in the history of the Premier League. We're going to have the best season ever!
But what do I do if City are having their best season too?
I thought about this question, this is the charm of competition, this is also the charm of football, if Liverpool wins the championship, I will thank Guardiola, if Manchester City wins the championship, I will call to congratulate Guardiola and Manchester City.

Greatness is always defined by how many wins and titles a team wins, and I've had that many times.

And now this season, Liverpool has a great opponent!
This will make this season even more special and destined to last a lifetime!
I will always encourage the team to keep the team motivated and enthusiastic about winning.

At the same time, I also want to encourage Manchester City here, and hope that this great opponent can also maintain an excellent state!
Great rivalry, great season, if Liverpool fall behind it will be a sensation, if Manchester City fall behind, wouldn't it be a pity? "
