Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 1056 Beginning to End

After the end of the FIFA match day, Situ Yunbing led his team to an away game against Crystal Palace.

Crystal Palace ranks 18th in the league and obviously has a strong will to relegation. At the same time, Liverpool will go to the Parc des Princes in Paris next week to challenge the Ligue [-] class leader Paris Saint-Germain.

If Situ Yunbing takes a positive view of this inevitably challenging league away game, then it can only be said that the consumption of Liverpool players during the FIFA match day is not so serious, and it will not be severely affected by the FIFA virus.

But when they came to the away game, Liverpool was still in trouble.

Crystal Palace broke Liverpool's goal with a quick counterattack in less than 5 minutes!

Obviously Liverpool are slow to get into the game!
After Crystal Palace took the lead, they unswervingly adopted the tactics of extreme defensive counterattack. They increased their aggressiveness to stop, destroy and delay Liverpool's attack.

Mbappe and Gareth Bale were greeted by opponents in turn during the game, and their mentality was about to explode in less than 30 minutes of the game.

Small moves and aggressive fouls alternate frequently.

At this time, Situ Yunbing walked to the sidelines and gestured to the team to stabilize the morale of the army and prevent them from being affected by the opponent's game style.

After ten years of coaching, if Situ Yunbing still can't get used to these small teams doing whatever they can to survive, then he has never grown up.

Putting himself in his shoes, if the team he coaches is in danger of relegation, he doesn't care what the outside world thinks of the team, and whether the team will cause lethal fouls due to inadvertence.

After all, the difference between relegation and relegation is a difference of hundreds of millions of pounds!

What Liverpool can do is to be themselves, and the strong should be calm in their mentality!

Before the end of the first half, Liverpool, who played in a mess and almost no threat, scored through a corner kick and scored with a header from Van Dijk, equalizing the score for Liverpool!
At the critical moment, Van Dijk played the role of the team's pinnacle!

Crystal Palace players and fans were palpably disappointed.

If it wasn't for the fact that the first half of the game was about to end, Situ Yunbing was absolutely confident that as long as Liverpool were given a few more minutes, maybe after two or three waves of offensives, they would be able to take advantage of the victory to complete the lead!
But Liverpool don't have that kind of time.

At the end of the first half, the score was 1:1. Crystal Palace will inevitably be asked to readjust their mentality when they return to the locker room.

If they can draw with Liverpool at home, it is definitely a result they can accept.

But Liverpool obviously cannot accept such a result.

In the second half, they returned to the field and changed sides to fight again. Crystal Palace fans also cheered for their team loudly. Crystal Palace's performance was much calmer, still insisting on tenacious defense and firm counterattack.

Liverpool's performance was much better than in the first half!

Can the team be free from pressure?
impossible!
Manchester City is chasing after them, and Manchester City has no pressure from the Champions League. How can Liverpool not be under pressure?
Because of this, after conceding the first goal in the first half of the game, coupled with the opponent's brutal defense, the Liverpool players were a little impatient and angry!
But after the midfield adjustment, Situ Yunbing did not make any changes at the tactical level. The essence of this kind of game is actually a contest of mentality.

Liverpool's performance in the second half was much better. No matter what way the opponent played, they focused on controlling the rhythm and speeding up the passing rate to create opportunities.

But today's striker's performance and ability to seize opportunities is really horrible. In addition, the bus of Crystal Palace is really airtight, almost using a human wall to prevent Liverpool from creating threats in their penalty area.

Liverpool made substitutions one after another, Sane and Griezmann came on one after another, Mbappe and Gareth Bale were replaced.

The game time passed by one minute and one second. After 80 minutes of the game, a Crystal Palace defender received a red card, and two yellows turned into one red.

So Crystal Palace removed Zaha, who was the most threatening striker, and strengthened their defense, trying to keep a draw at home, and they can be satisfied with 1 point.

At this time, Situ Yunbing removed the midfielder Eriksson and replaced defender Benatia.

To outsiders, Situ Yunbing's substitutions seemed strange, but when Benatia, Lewandowski, and Van Dijk were all crowded in the restricted area of ​​the Crystal Palace, everyone suddenly realized that Benatia was playing as a center forward!

Liverpool tried to create high-altitude bombing with crosses from the wing to create chances to score, but Crystal Palace resolved the danger one after another.

Until the 86th minute of the game, Robertson suddenly sent a kick to the ground from the left side of the penalty area. This ball disrupted the defensive rhythm of Crystal Palace. shoot!
The Crystal Palace goalkeeper failed to block the wicket and the football rolled between his legs and into the goal behind him!

Unwilling to be reconciled, the generals of the Crystal Palace raised their hands to complain that Sane was offside, and even went to surround the linesman to protest.

The referee ran over to play cards one after another, and sent off another Crystal Palace player.

In order to avoid relegation, Crystal Palace is indeed desperate!
But the result was a bit miserable. Not only did it fail to change the result of not scoring a single point, but it also paid the price of the suspension of two players!

When Liverpool scored a goal, they began to control the game, and Crystal Palace had no offensive ability even if they wanted to come back!
In the end, they made a big push to make a final effort, but they were taken away by Liverpool's fast break!
Sane assisted Griezmann to form a single goal!

Liverpool beat Crystal Palace 3:1 away.

If you only look at the results, it seems that Liverpool did not face much challenge in the away game, but those who watched the game would not say that it was easy for Liverpool to win the game.

Situ Yunbing sighed in an interview after the game: "It is not easy to win, it is really very difficult, Crystal Palace's desire to score points is very strong, and they are also very united!

When people talk about the brutal competition in the Premier League, I think they are not just talking about the cruelty of the championship and the fourth place. Relegation is also fierce and cruel! "

Then he praised Sane again. At the critical moment of today's game, Sane's goal can be said to be crucial. It was definitely a goal that helped Liverpool bring 3 points!

The final stage of the league has begun. Liverpool defeated Crystal Palace with difficulty in the 32nd round of the league. It is not easy for Manchester City to also win Everton in the away game!

But the fact that the two championship teams are maintaining a winning streak really makes Fleet Street feel crazy.

This is bound to be an incredible season.

And Manchester United's desire to survive is also very strong. They won Swansea 2:0 at home.

Pogba began to miss Manchester United's game due to "injury"!

It is rumored that Pogba's agent has begun to find a next home for him, and Real Madrid seems to be a good place to go.

Arsenal beat Stoke City 3-0 at home. Under the background of shifting the focus, Arsenal played relatively easily. Stoke City played too aggressively in the away game because they had to grab points. Arsenal easily broke through the gate time and time again.

The high-profile London derby was staged at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea played against Tottenham at home. Lost 1:3!

Afterwards, Situ Yunbing watched the video of the match between Chelsea and Tottenham. If Manchester United ended their upward momentum, then Chelsea announced that Conte's transformation over the past two years also ended in a collapse.

Because Chelsea's performance in the game can no longer see the calm and tenacious style that Conte led the team last season, there is only one word: chaos.

Liverpool, 92 points.

Manchester City, 90 points.

Arsenal, 77 points.

Manchester United, 62 points.

Tottenham, 60 points.

Chelsea, 56 points.

There are 6 rounds left in the league, but Liverpool and Manchester City have already passed the 90-point mark!
Chelsea gave Manchester United up to 6 points because they fell behind, and they basically declared four out!

The quarter-finals of the Champions League are coming. Liverpool will be a guest at the Parc des Princes in the first leg of the quarter-finals to compete with Paris Saint-Germain. This will inevitably attract the attention of the world.

The trajectory of Paris Saint-Germain over the years is definitely extremely strong, especially when they dominate Ligue [-], and at the same time, they give the impression that they are actively pioneering and enterprising in terms of signings.

Last summer, the successful poaching of Neymar from Barcelona was even more sensational!
In terms of lineup, Paris Saint-Germain's lineup is absolutely luxurious, maybe they only need a significant champion to prove themselves.

Before leaving for Paris on Tuesday evening, Situ Yunbing attended the pre-match press conference.

Some French media reporters came to the scene, and Situ Yunbing was still impressed by some of the faces. They were interviewed by him when he was coaching in Ligue [-].

This time Situ Yunbing will lead the team to Paris. For those who miss the past, they can relive the great achievements of Situ Yunbing leading Monaco to the top of Europe eight years ago.

For French football, Situ Yunbing will always be a special figure.

His miracle originated in Monaco, and his legendary road also started from there. The shock he left to French football is far more than one record and one championship after another.

When the reporter asked him what he thought of Paris Saint-Germain's competitiveness in Europe, Situ Yunbing was silent for a moment.

Indeed, Paris Saint-Germain has no opponents in Ligue [-], but now people don't care about Paris Saint-Germain's performance in Ligue [-]. It will be the best news if they don't win the Ligue [-] championship!
Situ Yunbing thought for a while and said: "I think it may not be appropriate to judge their strength now, because in the past few years they can only prove their strength and status through the Champions League, and this year they met Liverpool. They eliminated Liverpool, and the outside world will definitely think that Paris Saint-Germain has the strength to dominate Europe!
On the contrary, if they fail to eliminate Liverpool, people will naturally say that Paris Saint-Germain is still a long way from the top of Europe! "
