Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 1047 Prepare to sprint!

Benitez led the team to visit Anfield and really never thought about a shocking cold here.

The most pragmatic way for relegation teams is actually to play strong teams away from home, try to avoid excessive consumption, and then focus on fighting those opponents who are evenly matched, or a little bit more difficult, to grab points.

For example, playing Liverpool is hell-level difficulty, and it is really impossible to fight Liverpool to the death.

Newcastle United did not strengthen their offensive performance after losing the ball. After all, they were continuously suppressed by Liverpool, and there was no good chance to counterattack. They could not grasp the initiative, and a forced counterattack was more like a dying struggle.

This is basically in line with the normal state of most mid-lower teams facing Liverpool.

It's not that they don't have a strong desire to win.

After trying once, twice, and three times, it basically ended in failure, and some teams were killed and nailed to the pillar of shame, so naturally they were afraid later.

Anyway, their task is to avoid relegation and get a decent ranking. Liverpool's championship in the Premier League is a fight between gods!

Why bother to ask for trouble and let mortals suffer!

Before the end of the first half, Arnold cut in from the right to Mbappe's wonderful pass, and then crossed in the penalty area to assist Gareth Bale who was far away to outflank the goal!

Liverpool lead by two goals at home!

Situ Yunbing is satisfied with the team's dominance in the game.

Amidst the cheers of the Red Army fans, Benitez stood expressionless on the sidelines.

He really wanted to know how Situ Yunbing made Liverpool such an invincible team!

Liverpool invested the most in the first two years when Situ Yunbing took charge of Anfield. The arrival of Gareth Bale guaranteed the offense. Combined with Situ Yunbing's handy defensive counterattack tactics, he brought the Red Army their first Premier League title. This championship has become a sign for the Red Army to attract strong support, and the arrival of Van Dijk and Kanter has caused a qualitative change in Liverpool's defense.

What surprised Benitez the most was the growth of Robertson and Arnold. It was as if God gave Liverpool a pair of excellent full-backs that are extremely rare in European football!
Young striker, money can buy it!
Less midfielders, tactics can make up for it!
But the role of full-back is getting more and more attention in European football, and excellent resources are very scarce!
But Liverpool just haven't worried about the full-back position in the past few years!

Without this pair of full-backs, the Red Army's dynasty may not last so long, and it will definitely experience many unexpected twists and turns!
Because the full-back now plays an increasingly important role in the technical and tactical system beyond imagination.

Offensive requires the support of full-backs. If the defense is not strong, the defense line will have hidden dangers.

Liverpool's current strong foundation happens to be a top-notch central defense plus two full-backs with excellent offensive capabilities to continuously supply the strikers with ammunition!

Seeing the Liverpool players celebrating and the fans cheering, Benitez was deeply moved. If he had received more financial support and more power when he coached Liverpool, would he have been able to create a prosperous dynasty for the Red Army?
Shaking his head slightly, he was not very confident about this.

At the end of the first half, Situ Yunbing walked into the player channel first.

Time has entered March, now Liverpool need to speed up, don't delay if they can win the league as soon as possible, although there will be a second leg of the UEFA Champions League 1/8 final in the middle of next week, they already lead Basel 4-0 in the first leg, so don't worry about it. But as the Champions League enters the quarter-finals, Liverpool's schedule pressure must be huge!
Manchester City will definitely work hard at this stage, avoiding falling behind is one, and waiting for Liverpool to make mistakes is the second!

Back in the locker room, Situ Yunbing reminded the Red Army generals not to be distracted in the second half, they need to win!
He said again the words that he had repeated to the players thousands of times: "Before we win the championship, we are not qualified to take it lightly! It is our constant goal to go all out to win every victory!"

The generals of the Red Army are united as one, and they have a champion temperament to a certain extent. They have developed the habit of winning, and they will not allow themselves to fail!
This is still somewhat different from the arrogance of many successful teams when they were brilliant.

Liverpool is also arrogant, but they will show their arrogance in the game by bombarding their opponents with force, instead of relaxing!
In the second half, Newcastle United's performance still did not improve after returning to the field and changing sides to fight again. Benitez was really unwilling to let the team struggle and consume fearlessly in this game.

Newcastle United has also entered the most critical stage of the season, and the next two months will be a critical period to determine whether they can stay in the Premier League!
For the mid-lower teams, they will definitely study the schedule more thoroughly, not only their own schedule, but also those schedules where they are trying to win their opponents.

This can also be regarded as a utilitarian performance of the relegation team.

After all, the benefits of staying in the Premier League are too great!

The Red Army completed two substitutions in 55 minutes of the second half.

Sane and Griezmann came on the field, and Liverpool's offensive end radiated new vitality.

In the 65th minute of the game, Griezmann passed the ball in the penalty area to Sane who cut inside. The latter was knocked to the ground as soon as the ball changed direction. The referee decisively awarded a penalty.

Lewandowski took the penalty overnight, helping Liverpool lead Newcastle United with three goals at home and seal the victory!

The Red Army fans cheered loudly, as if they wanted to spread their shouts to Manchester to frighten Manchester City!
In the end, Liverpool beat Newcastle United 3-0 at home!

After the game, Situ Yunbing praised the team's performance, and at the same time called out to Manchester City when the season sprint was about to start.

"I don't know whether Manchester City can win this round, they have had an accident before, when I thought they would continue to win, they were unexpectedly upset and dropped points.

I expect there will be a decisive battle between Liverpool and Manchester City before the end of the season!

This will make the end of the season even more exciting!

I will not let my team give up the top position, but I will hope that Manchester City also seize the opportunity to fight for the title!
After all, this may be the most competitive season in English football history!

Naturally, a decisive battle with global attention is needed! "

These words sounded fine, but everyone in Fleet Street knew that Situ Yunbing was putting pressure on Manchester City!

Let's see if Manchester City can persist until the final day and still have the qualifications for the decisive battle!
Because the most watched game of this round was staged at the Etihad Stadium, Guardiola led his team to face Conte's Chelsea at home!

In other games, Manchester United defeated Crystal Palace away, and Tottenham won Huddersfield at home.

Arsenal also beat Brighton away to take all 3 points!
In the finale of this round, Manchester City ushered in the challenge of Chelsea at home.

Conte's Chelsea has been under pressure recently!
On the one hand, it is the pressure of the record, and on the other hand, it is the crisis of Conte's coaching position!
It is not surprising that they did not have the determination to win the game at Manchester City's gate, because a draw can be regarded as an explanation. The only team that can retreat from Manchester City's home game this season is Liverpool!

The big reason why Guardiola led the team's dismal results last season was that in the end, many of the games they needed to attack not only failed to win, but were also blown up by the opponent's counterattack!
In today's game, they showed a very high level at home. Not only did they limit Chelsea's counterattack, but they finally killed their opponent 1:0 at home!
Guardiola's team withstood the pressure and continued to chase Liverpool!

After losing this game, Chelsea was overtaken by Tottenham in the standings!

Fighting for the fourth is already in a very passive position.

Liverpool, 83 points.

Manchester City, 81 points.

Arsenal, 71 points.

Manchester United, 58 points.

Tottenham, 51 points.

Chelsea, 50 points.

After the league game, Liverpool is preparing for the Champions League. The atmosphere in the Melwood training base is very relaxed. Situ Yunbing will occasionally join the players in the small game of grabbing the ball, which makes the players full of joy in a relaxed state.

At this stage, Liverpool obviously began to gradually reduce the intensity of training.

Come earlier than ever.

The training at the end of the season is purely to maintain physical condition, and the difference between Liverpool and other teams is that they have too many games!
Under the frequent schedule, the team basically supports the battle by fighting, and even often sacrifices training time to let the team relax and recuperate.

This season, the multi-line battle has played a full game, and none of the front lines has been eliminated.

From the Community Shield to the UEFA Super Cup and the Club World Cup, the league has taken the UEFA Champions League into consideration and has also rushed the League Cup all the way to the finish line!

Now that the FA Cup has entered the quarter-finals, Liverpool is definitely the team in the world that has played the most games this season.

After the relaxed and enjoyable preparation training, the UEFA Champions League 1/8 finals came as scheduled.

Situ Yunbing announced the starting lineup before the game, telling Basel unabashedly that they will carry out a large-scale rotation at home.

Is this giving Basel a chance?

Fleet Street doesn't think so.

It is obvious that Situ Yunbing is disturbing the morale of Basel's army!

Because Basel itself may have given up the Champions League, they have no hope of a comeback.

But since Liverpool is rotating at home, why doesn't Basel try it away?

Even if they fail to achieve a comeback in the end, they can break Liverpool's home unbeaten status and take away a victory at Anfield, it will definitely be the best and most shocking way for them to bid farewell to the Champions League this season, and they will win the world Respect!
In the second leg of the UEFA Champions League 1/8 final, Liverpool's Anfield Stadium was packed.

When Situ Yunbing walked into the stadium, he stood on the sidelines and looked around the stands. He was quite moved by the overcrowded scene.

It stands to reason that Liverpool has a 4:0 lead over Basel, and the probability of being out is less than 1% according to Fleet Street!

Moreover, Situ Yunbing also announced the rotation before the game. The excitement of the game will definitely be greatly reduced, but the Red Army fans are still very enthusiastic to come and cheer!
Situ Yunbing applauded the stands from the sidelines, thanking the fans for their support, which caused a small climax in the cheering momentum at Anfield Stadium!
