Chapter 1068 Believe in Miracles?

City's home defeat to Manchester United dampened the enthusiasm in Fleet Street.

People are expecting Manchester City to keep pace with Manchester United after this round.

As a result, the top two teams in the standings failed to win the derby against their rivals in the same city.

Looking back at Liverpool scoring 1 point is actually a better result.

The problems exposed by Manchester City may be even more fatal. If Guardiola's team hadn't made adjustments during the halftime break and could continue to maintain a strong offensive against Manchester United in the second half, then they would not give Manchester United a chance!

Substituting offense for defense is the most powerful feature of Manchester City, but in the final stage of the championship, Guardiola failed to take a firm stand. If his mentality hadn't become utilitarian, he would not have given him the two-goal lead if he wanted to keep the advantage. Manchester United have a chance.

At the same time, it also makes the outside world worry about whether Manchester City is qualified to face Liverpool in a utilitarian manner in the final battle of the season. They still have a chance to lead Liverpool in points before the final game. After all, there are still four league rounds before the final game. And Manchester City is now only 3 points behind Liverpool!
But maybe Liverpool will not give Manchester City the last chance to comeback. Compared with Liverpool's situation, Manchester City is the party with no retreat.

Guardiola said after the game that he was shocked by the result. He strongly denied Manchester City's tactical adjustment mistakes, saying that the team's failure to win the game was definitely due to bad luck.

Sterling wasted four golden opportunities in the game and carried the happy football to the end, causing many fans to complain that the British emperor star was the undercover agent Liverpool gave to Manchester City back then, and he must turn against the water at the critical moment!

No matter what Guardiola thinks, anyway, there are only 5 rounds left in the Premier League, and the championship is still not over!

In other games in the same round, Arsenal defeated Southampton 3:2 at home. The game at the Emirates Stadium was particularly passionate. Klopp’s team is now very cautious about the Champions League, and the league adjusts the team’s state as much as possible. , After lowering the requirements for the record, the team's performance is relatively good, but the team still has some problems that cannot be remedied by adjustments.

Chelsea drew West Ham United 1:1 at home. Conte is probably disheartened, and Chelsea has entered the rhythm of fighting again in the coming year early.

Tottenham defeated Stoke City 2:1 away, and they are still the main team competing with Manchester United for fourth in the league.

Liverpool, 93 points.

Manchester City, 90 points.

Arsenal, 80 points.

Manchester United, 65 points.

Tottenham, 63 points.

Chelsea, 57 points.

The draw in the Merseyside Derby made Liverpool's generals suffocate. It is undeniable that there must be factors brought about by the pressure of the championship, but after Manchester City lost to Manchester United at home, the players are also invisible. A lot of decompression.

The whole team is actively preparing for the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, and Paris Saint-Germain will return to Anfield Stadium.

Liverpool, which already had a 5:1 lead in the first round, will naturally have the capital to rotate when they return to home in the second round.

Situ Yunbing did intend to do so.

But this does not mean that Liverpool will face the second round with a very relaxed attitude.

At the press conference before the Champions League match, Situ Yunbing was asked by a reporter from Fleet Street: "Do you think Paris Saint-Germain will create a miracle at Anfield? Is there such a possibility?"

Situ Yunbing said indifferently: "Believe in a miracle is as great as the miracle itself.

The key is whether Paris Saint-Germain themselves believe that miracles will happen! "

The reporter asked again: "If your team lost 1:5 in the first round, what kind of mentality will you face in the second round?"

Situ Yunbing replied: "Although I never make such an assumption, in order to answer your question, I can simply say something.

Considering that the team has no retreat, it is imperative to give it a go in the second round. I know that the difficulty is very high, the opponent is strong, there are many disadvantages in the away game, and there is a race against the game time. I fight alone, I need to mobilize everyone in the team, everyone is of one mind with me, we must have the same belief and fighting spirit, and turn motivation into execution and show it in the game.

Maybe you can't do the same thing, so no matter how hard you work, it will be in vain, but you should always try.

Well, there is no such thing as a football game where the outcome is decided before the game is over. "

The reporters nodded in agreement, and then asked whether Liverpool would rotate.

Situ Yunbing said: "We still have the FA Cup game in a week, and you all know the situation in the league. We must rotate in this situation, especially this year is the World Cup year. I also hope that Liverpool players I can go to the World Cup in better physical condition."

It is not a problem to give some news to the opponent before the game. It may make the opponent more fully prepared, but Situ Yunbing always believes that this will definitely mislead the opponent emotionally.

Just like Liverpool's rotation games most of the time, the opponents will not be overly conservative, which will actually increase the probability of Liverpool winning the game.

The reporter asked the last question.

"Liverpool should have no problem advancing to the semi-finals of the Champions League, but if you rotate tomorrow night, then Liverpool's home unbeaten status for many years may be broken by Paris Saint-Germain. Aren't you worried about this?"

Situ Yunbing smiled and said: "I have won many championships and created many records. The unbeaten home record you mentioned is just one of many records. If I want to defend every record, I don't think I can do it. By the age of 35, the hair will be completely white.

It is the most normal thing to win or lose a game. I cannot ask my team based on the results. I expect them to play their potential, strength, and play with the right attitude. Then I can accept the final result no matter what it is.

If I worry too much about a record, I think the loss outweighs the gain.

If Liverpool lose the game tomorrow night, I will judge based on the team's performance whether we have lost unjustly and convinced ourselves, instead of simply getting angry because of the loss or disappointed and sad for the lost record. "

After Situ Yunbing finished speaking, he waved to everyone and left the press room with a smile.

Fleet Street has always admired Situ Yunbing's attitude, which is very practical but not utilitarian. It is no wonder that he is the object of worship of the new generation of coaches.

Emery suffered a crisis of confidence after the disastrous defeat in the first round. The French media have already revealed that he will be dismissed after the end of the season. No matter how many championships he can win this season in France, he will not be able to keep his handsome position. !

It was a shocking comeback by Barcelona last season. It can be said that Paris Saint-Germain was out of shame.

Most of this season has also been nailed to the pillar of shame by Liverpool. Paris Saint-Germain's performance in the Champions League under Emery is that the mud cannot support the wall.

No matter how many big-name players they have, they can't really change the outside world's positioning and perception of Paris Saint-Germain.

They are the lunch of the rich and powerful, at best they can eat some small fish and shrimp.

Emery still showed a due gesture before the game, saying that the team will fight for a miracle when they go to Anfield!

They have no way out!
Some of Paris Saint-Germain's stars actually said that they had experienced a catastrophic game after losing the first round, but they still have a chance, and they need to be more fully prepared for the second round.

It's just that Liverpool may not give them a chance.

On the night of the competition day, Sigrid showed up in the VIP box with her two children. Situ Yi was held in her arms, and Situ Jin was very excited standing in the box.

When he saw Situ Yunbing appearing on the sidelines, he would point to Situ Yunbing and shout to Sigrid: "Daddy, Daddy."

Sigrid touched his head with a smile, and then asked Situ Jin to watch countless Red Army fans in the Anfield stands cheer for Situ Yunbing!

Situ Yunbing made a motion of kissing the ring in the direction of the VIP box, then smiled and waved.

Sigrid picked up Situ Yi and held his little hand, and waved lightly in the direction of Situ Yunbing.

Situ Yunbing then sat on the coach's bench and waited for the start of the game.

The Liverpool players in the locker room were ready to play. As soon as Azpilicueta tied his shoelaces, Griezmann smiled at him: "You have to be careful of Neymar today."

Gareth Bell laughed: "I guess he will use a rainbow today!"

Henderson said softly, "If he were our player, he would have conflicts with Steve and Ricardo within a week."

Gerrard is now in charge of tactical training, while Moniz has always been in charge of technical training. According to Neymar's playing characteristics, it is estimated that Gerrard will really not be able to stand Neymar. There will be a big conflict with Neymar.

Van Dijk was about to walk out of the locker room, and said in a deep voice: "Stop chatting, don't you understand the character of the boss? It is impossible for him to appear in the boss's team.

Let's go, ready to fight! "

The generals of the Red Army adjusted their mentality one after another, and walked out of the locker room in a slightly excited state.

Today Liverpool is rotating at home. Situ Yunbing doesn't think the team's strength has dropped much, but the impact must be there. Emery observed very carefully from the sidelines, as if trying to find the flaws and weaknesses in Liverpool's starting lineup.

Liverpool still started 433 today.

Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.

Defenders: Azpilicueta, Van Dijk, Benatia, Guerrero.

Midfield: Henderson, Maddison, Casemiro.

Forwards: Gareth Bale, Griezmann, Sancho.

This start was not expected by the outside world before, because Sancho and Madison started.

It may feel aggrieved in the eyes of Paris Saint-Germain.

Who do you look down on?
