Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 1042 Losing Enough!
Klopp did not show a pessimistic attitude before the League Cup final. He believed that Arsenal's season was not over and they had not withdrawn from the battlefield.

I am afraid that Arsenal fans have become a habit of being disappointed in the past few years. Most of them are more open-minded than the players and coaches now. No way to go further in the Champions League.

London, New Wembley Stadium.

Liverpool and Arsenal fans gathered at the stadium, fighting each other in the stands, and the cheers were deafening.

When the players of the two teams walked into the stadium, the whole stadium burst into cheers and shook the sky.

Situ Yunbing in a suit and leather shoes walked into the stadium and took the initiative to shake hands with Klopp.

Klopp obviously felt a little heavy. After shaking hands with Situ Yunbing without saying a word, he turned and walked to the coach command area.

Situ Yunbing could understand Klopp's mood and worked hard for most of the season, but the most important front was declared out!

The most important thing is that Arsenal has played almost the best record in history!
Even if it is compared with the unbeaten record of the season led by Wenger back then, it is not the same!
Outsiders may think that such a situation is depressing, but if you put yourself in Klopp's position and feel it, it is definitely a bit desperate!
Because I don't know what else to do to improve my record!
The points of Liverpool and Manchester City are far behind the leaders of other leagues in the top European leagues!

Situ Yunbing has no intention of comforting Klopp. In fact, during his years of coaching, he has ridiculed Mourinho, provoked Guardiola, and despised Conte and Simeone.

But he never had targeted psychological warfare against Klopp.

Because whether Klopp is in Dortmund or Arsenal, his coaching environment and conditions are not very good.

There are Bayern and Hamburg in the Bundesliga, which are richer than Dortmund and have better resources than Dortmund.

In the Premier League, Arsenal's image of a miser has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for many years.

Coupled with the constraints of the salary system, Klopp actually doesn't have much room to play.

And like the coaches of other clubs, such as Chelsea, Manchester City, and Manchester United, they have far more resources than Arsenal, but sometimes they can't even achieve a passing record.

So Klopp is a respectable opponent.

Maybe he has some tragic colors, but this is the cruel football world, which is not much different from the social reality in which everyone lives. It doesn't mean that if the results exceed expectations, you will succeed.

Standing in the coach command area of ​​the new Wembley Stadium, Situ Yunbing looked indifferent. This temple carries the highest dream of English football. He has left his mark here in the past five years and has won many awards here. In the honorary history of the new Wembley Stadium, his record of leading the team to win the championship is a highlight.

Today he will continue to harvest trophies here!
Players from both sides have already held the pre-match kick-off ceremony on the field. It seems that Liverpool is more relaxed than Arsenal.

The Arsenal generals looked serious, looking very fighting, but also a little nervous.

"Good afternoon, dear viewers, welcome to the 2017-2018 English League Cup final at New Wembley Stadium in London, England!
The two teams that have reached the League Cup final this year are Liverpool and Arsenal.

These two teams are ranked first and third in the league respectively. This League Cup final is the pinnacle of English football in an absolute sense!
The two teams are currently under a lot of pressure on the schedule of this season. There is also the Champions League outside the league. Therefore, it is doubtful whether they can do their best in this game. I think Arsenal will have a stronger fighting spirit. They lost in the last round of the league. After giving it to Manchester City, it is considered to have withdrawn from the championship group, so if you can beat Liverpool to win the League Cup today, it is not a small achievement.

In the finals that Liverpool has participated in these years, under the leadership of Situ Yunbing, they have never lost a game. Coupled with their excellent form this season, they must be determined to win the championship today!

Let me introduce the starting lineups of both sides.

Liverpool started today at 433.
Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.

Defenders: Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Koulibaly, Robertson.

Midfield: Casemiro, Eriksen, Kante.

Forwards: Mbappe, Lewandowski, Sane.

On the Red Army side, only Sane's starting lineup is a bit surprising, but referring to Sane's recent outstanding performance, there will be no controversy about his starting lineup.

Arsenal also started 433 today.
Goalkeeper: Karius.

Defenders: Bellerin, Koscielny, Matip, Chambers.

Midfielders: Milner, Ramsey, Wijnaldum.

Forwards: Salah, Firmino, Mane.

The two teams can be described as the best, and a big battle is inevitable!

Well, the two teams have finished the pre-match kick-off ceremony, and now Arsenal will kick off first! "

After Arsenal kicked off, Situ Yunbing focused on observing Arsenal's posture and state today.

After the opening, Arsenal quickly pressed forward, and it seemed that they wanted to catch Liverpool by surprise.

Ramsey and Wijnaldum hit the wall and advanced forward. When facing Kanter, he knocked back with his heel. Milner followed up with a diagonal pass to the front right.

Salah took the initiative to respond and cut the ball directly. At a position about 25 yards from the goal on the right side of the penalty area, Salah forced a kick to shoot.

The football bounced off Van Dijk.

"Arsenal completed a shot at the beginning, but Salah played this ball obviously in a hurry!"

As soon as the blocked football was controlled by Casemiro in the backcourt, Ramsey actively counterattacked and destroyed the ball beyond the sideline.

Arsenal's formation dropped back slightly and began to press the defense.

Situ Yunbing's expression was solemn, and he couldn't tell whether he was worried or feeling pressure.

Liverpool encountered a quick counterattack from Arsenal's striker when they fell in the backcourt. It only depends on the posture. Arsenal is absolutely strong today!

But this kind of strength didn't make Situ Yunbing panic, he was just guarding against Arsenal's sudden change of posture.

Arnold made a long pass from the backcourt, and Lewandowski flew a header in the middle of the frontcourt to find Sane, who was intercepted by Bellerin as soon as the latter stopped the ball!
Arsenal's pressing defense did bring better results to the defense, but it also required taking higher risks.

Klopp stood motionless on the sidelines, like a statue.

He must win this League Cup final!
If there is any reason, it is that he has lost enough!
He met Situ Yunbing and Guardiola in the Bundesliga successively, and met Guardiola and Situ Yunbing in the Premier League at the same time!
It seems to be suppressed by fate!

Of course, if Klopp doesn't like a challenge, he has every opportunity to coach Bayern Munich, a team like Paris Saint-Germain that wins titles year after year!

But that's a waste of time for a head coach who likes a challenge.

Just as most top coaches will not coach the national team when they are young, it is a reason.

After Arsenal's successful defense, they quickly moved forward and launched a fast break. Wijnaldum quickly advanced to disrupt Liverpool's midfield defense. At least in terms of physical confrontation, he has a great advantage against Kanter.

When he tried to cooperate with Mane hitting the wall continuously, he headed into the penalty area and scored a header, creating a wave of danger in front of Liverpool's goal. Goalkeeper Ter Stegen saved the ball with a single palm and raised the ball above the crossbar!
"Wow! Wijnaldum's header almost opened the scoring for Arsenal!

It's a pity that Ter Stegen played bravely!
Arsenal's momentum is really fierce after the opening!
It caught Liverpool off guard! "

Arsenal attacked with a corner kick, and Van Dijk directed his teammates to set up the defense.

Ramsey's corner kick was cleared by Coulibaly with a header from behind the penalty area.

Bellerin rushed up to the right of the penalty area and raised his foot to volley!

The football flew into the stands!
Klopp applauded, satisfied with the team's performance after the opening.

Situ Yunbing was still calm and composed.

It seems that Arsenal is playing the king of the opener. There is nothing wrong with this style of play, but it lacks some changes. If they score a goal, they will definitely change their posture immediately. Maybe they will not play against other teams. , but if you are playing Liverpool, being able to take the lead is an opportunity that must be seized and used.

Situ Yunbing wanted to see what happened to Arsenal today.

He didn't doubt Arsenal's fighting spirit, but Arsenal looked down on Liverpool a bit too much by playing like this, or they were more like venting through the game!
He gestured to the team on the sidelines to let the team control the rhythm of the game.

Liverpool will look for holes in Arsenal's defense by passing more patiently.

In the 7th minute of the game, when Arsenal's midfielders frantically surrounded Liverpool's ball-handling players, Eriksson directly knocked the ball back to Van Dijk, who kicked the ball across the left, Robertson controlled After the ball, the ball was pushed forward. After collaborating with Kanter to hit the wall and dodge Salah's interception, Robertson sent a diagonal pass behind the center line to transfer.

Mbappe took the initiative to respond to the chest to stop the ball on the right side of the front court. When Chambers came to defend, he cut in, but suddenly stopped and pulled the ball to the outside. opportunity.

Mbappe sent a threatening cross before the baseline.

Lewandowski attracted firepower in the middle, and Sane followed up with the ball and volleyed directly!

However, he still exerted too much force and his footwork was not well controlled. The football flew over the crossbar and flew straight to the stands.

Sane held his head and sighed, then gave Mbappe a thumbs up.

This wave of Liverpool's offensive made Arsenal fans' scalps tingle, and even Arsenal players had lingering fears.

Only one shot from Sane was away from the goal!
Situ Yunbing didn't regret not scoring a goal. At least Liverpool's attack made a clear threat. He wants to see Arsenal's reaction to this.
