Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 1037
Situ Yunbing's remarks at the pre-match press conference were regarded as classics by Fleet Street.

A great coach should have such a mind, instead of cursing other teams to lose every day!

After all, this is likely to give birth to the greatest season of the Premier League, and there must be great opponents behind great champions!
No matter whether it is Manchester City or Liverpool winning the championship, now everyone does not want to see their state decline. If a team collapses, the topic will only be temporary.

But if the near-perfect performance can be maintained until the end, then this season's champion is likely to be the best in history!
In the 25th round of the league, Liverpool challenged Huddersfield as a guest, and Situ Yunbing dispatched the main team to fight.

The Red Army generals who are eager to fight can be said to be full of fighting spirit. As a newly promoted Huddersfield, they are not far from the relegation zone, so their desire to grab points at home is also high.

The tempo of the game picked up quickly from the start, and Huddersfield's counterattack was open and closed, but it was difficult to do anything in front of Liverpool's top defense.

The Red Army's strong onslaught continued to put pressure on the Huddersfield defense, eventually forcing them to open under high-intensity pressure.

In the 23rd minute of the game, Mbappe received a wonderful pass from Casemiro in an inside cut, stopped and made a breakthrough, kicked up the right rib of the penalty area and sent the ball into the lower left corner of the goal!

Mbappe's goal opened the prelude to Liverpool's victory.

Even Fleet Street has to admit that the best performing team in European football today is definitely Liverpool!

There are many strong teams that will start to gradually tilt to control and counterattack after leading, and once the game time has passed 70 minutes, the leading strong teams will greatly reduce their offensive investment.

This is a very normal and utilitarian approach, and no one thinks there is any problem.

But Liverpool's lead is not the end, but the beginning!
They will even make the game more intense, so as to seize the opponent's eager psychological reaction to equalize the score to the defensive loopholes in the action, and further deal a devastating blow to the opponent!
In the 41st minute of the game, Lewandowski sent the ball to Gareth Bale in front of the penalty area in a counterattack successfully formed by a midfield counterattack. , but sent a through kick.

Mbappe successfully cut into the penalty area close to the middle of the penalty area in anti-offside. He faked the ball and missed the goalkeeper, then pushed the empty goal successfully!
The Reds lead by two goals away!
The game came to the second half, and Liverpool's indiscriminate bombing continued!

Huddersfield regrouped and still tried to equalize and actively attack, but in the 54th minute of the game, Liverpool used a direct free kick from the front court and Gareth Bale scored!

After the three-goal lead, Situ Yunbing began to make substitutions, because they will face the challenge of Tottenham four days later!

Situ Yunbing replaced three players in succession within 10 minutes, Griezmann, Sane, Guerrero.

Huddersfield thought that Liverpool would reduce their offensive intensity, but it turned out that Liverpool's offense was even more violent!
In the last 30 minutes of the game, Liverpool scored two more goals, and Griezmann and Eriksson added to the cake.

The Red Army swept Huddersfield 5-0 away!

Liverpool continue to sing triumphant songs!
Manchester City also beat West Brom 3-0 at home!
But Arsenal lost to Swansea with a shocking away game!

Chelsea even lost 0:3 to Bournemouth at home!

This round of high-profile focus battle was staged in White Hart Lane.

Pochettino led Tottenham to beat Mourinho's Manchester United 2-0 at home!

The first group has three teams to lose!
This is the first time this has happened this season!

Liverpool, 71 points.

Manchester City, 71 points.

Arsenal, 62 points.

Manchester United, 49 points.

Chelsea, 47 points.

Tottenham, 45 points.

The gap between the contending four groups has narrowed to 4 points.

After this round, Fleet Street felt sorry for Arsenal.

Klopp's team scored 25 points in 62 league games. This kind of scoring efficiency is definitely a championship level in the first 20 years of the Premier League!
But unfortunately, with the rise of the Red Army Liverpool, the Premier League championship level has been redefined.

There are 13 rounds left in the league, and there is a high probability that Arsenal's total points will exceed 90 points, but what's the point?

They are now drifting away from the championship. The fatal thing is that they have finished two games with Liverpool, and only one game with Manchester City is left. Even if they can win in a direct dialogue, they still have to pray that Liverpool will fall behind !
But according to the current performance of Manchester City and Liverpool, it is basically impossible for Arsenal to counterattack.

As for Manchester United, Chelsea, and Tottenham, the three teams compete for the fourth place in the league, and any situation now will not surprise the outside world.

In the 26th round of the league, Liverpool will face Tottenham at home.

At the pre-match press conference, when Situ Yunbing asked Fleet Street reporters how he felt about Tottenham's record decline this season, he said frankly: "I don't think Tottenham's record has declined. They are actually still familiar with themselves. s position.

Pochettino's contribution to Tottenham is to bring Tottenham from the middle and upper reaches to the ranks of the fourth. Remember, it is the fourth, not the top four!
I think maybe the performance of Tottenham in the past two years and the occasional one or two good games have given people the illusion that Tottenham have reached the level where they can compete for the championship, or superficially they have entered the ranks of the giants.

Anyone can have such an idea, but I advise Tottenham not to be misled and deceived, otherwise, they will fall into a situation of eternal doom.

In particular, Tottenham are imitating their neighbors and starting to build new stadiums. For a long time to come, Tottenham will have a very difficult life. If they have too high requirements for the record and cannot accurately position themselves, then they The disappointment of harvest will be much higher than expected. "

What Situ Yunbing said was indeed a sincere suggestion to them.

There is no need to rely on future experience. In fact, he doesn't have much future experience.

He is observing the changes in Tottenham from the perspective of his own experience.

First of all, it is impossible for Tottenham's salary system to attract big-name players.

Secondly, Tottenham want to make their own blood, dig out Kane, Ali, and introduce super-valuable Sun Xingmin and Alderweireld at a low price. This cannot last, especially when all the top European football teams have entered It's time for a replacement cycle.

Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich, Juventus, including Manchester United and Chelsea have all passed the golden stage of the core lineup of the previous era. The thorn itself has no competitiveness, it can be said that it can only survive in the cracks!

Fleet Street reporters were surprised by Situ Yunbing's remarks, not because they thought there was something wrong with what he said, but why did he give advice to Tottenham?

After a phone call between Situ Yunbing and Alonzo after Christmas, he has decided to resign as Liverpool coach in the summer and return to China to take up the coach of the national team.

That's definitely not an easy thing to do.

Especially after Alonzo led the Chinese team to the World Cup!

This also means that once Situ Yunbing enters the national team, he may only be given a four-year cycle, and he must enter the 2022 World Cup!

If he can't do it, it means that his coaching performance is not as good as that of Alonzo, which will only make him fall from the altar and his prestige will drop.

But Situ Yunbing has no choice. If he does not take over the national team after Alonzo leaves, it can be said that there is no more suitable candidate than him.

With the qualifications and prestige of a domestic coach, who would have the guts to take over?

Who is eligible to take over?

Hire foreign coaches again?
That would likely overturn many of the foundations laid during the Alonzo era!

And Situ Yunbing also needs to avoid another situation, that is, if someone else takes over the Chinese team and has a better record than Alonzo, this person will stay for 6 or 8 years, and Situ Yunbing will have to wait to die!
So regardless of whether the timing is right or not, he will leave Liverpool in the summer of 2018 to take up his new role in the Chinese team.

Because of this, he cherishes the time he is now coaching in European football. Regardless of whether he has any grievances with these opponents in the past, it is only from the heart to give some well-intentioned suggestions.

As for how the other party understood and accepted it, that was not Situ Yunbing's concern.

Of course, Tottenham would not think that Situ Yunbing was full of good intentions.

In the last round, Tottenham just defeated Manchester United. Although the gap in points is too big for the top spot, Tottenham still has a kind of pride!
At least they are no longer cash machines for the rich.

Pochettino expressed his respect for Situ Yunbing before the game, but turned a deaf ear to Situ Yunbing's suggestion.

"I respect Situ Yunbing a lot, he is a great coach, he has inspired countless young coaches to strive for success.

But his understanding of Tottenham is only on the surface. I don't think Tottenham have the illusion that we have become a giant, but there is nothing wrong with our pursuit of the championship.

Any team should be fighting for a championship, it is a necessary condition for a team to exist and strive every day.

if not?
We are just for a salary, the team is just to qualify for the Champions League next season at the end of the season?Just for a decent place in the league?

If that's all it is, we'll be knocked out of the Premier League and probably relegated to the Championship soon, then League One.

Only the motivation to chase the champion can make us better and stronger!

But it's a long way.

If someone told me to put myself in the right position, to lose the game cleanly against Liverpool and accept defeat willingly, then I would say that this is a complete underestimation of Tottenham's fighting spirit and ambition! "

It seems that Pochettino completely misunderstood Situ Yunbing's advice to Tottenham.

But it doesn't matter, Situ Yunbing's last season in the Premier League, the opponent's fighting spirit is what he wishes for.
