Chapter 1090 Battle of the Kings of the Century!
After a short break, Liverpool began preparations for the final sprint of the season at the Melwood training base.

Although Situ Yunbing does not follow up and observe the opponent's games like Guardiola does, he has also begun to use his spare time to analyze Manchester City's recent game performance.

Because Manchester City is fighting on a single line, there is basically no possibility for them to retain their strength, only to adjust to different game situations and environments.

Fleet Street is hyping up this battle of the century, and it is also the decisive battle for the Premier League to determine the title of the champion!
He even threw out the view that if Liverpool wins, they will ascend to the altar, and if Liverpool loses, the era will end!
It is undeniable that Liverpool and Manchester City have been fighting against each other since August last year, fighting all the way to the last moment of the season. This is a carnival on Fleet Street, which has already made them climax to the point where they cannot extricate themselves.

In fact, no matter what the result is, this season will go down in history and become the most shocking and exciting season in the history of England's top league!
It is conceivable that Liverpool's win will push the number of consecutive championships to a new peak of 6 times, and will also set a series of records, such as an unbeaten season, such as the highest points, such as the most goals, the most wins and so on.

And if Manchester City wins, history will remember Liverpool's regrets this season, and Manchester City's last-minute comeback will also become a miracle!
On May 5th, Liverpool finished their final preparations before the game. At the Melwood training base, Situ Yunbing attended the pre-match press conference.

This will be his last interview in the Premier League this season, the rest will be in the FA Cup final and the Champions League final.

The press conference was overcrowded, and I believe the same is true for Manchester City.

Situ Yunbing sat on the stage, and the reporters first took pictures, and then began the question-and-answer interview before the match.

A reporter from The Times asked Situ Yunbing whether he expected such a brutal competition in the Premier League this season a year ago?

Situ Yunbing smiled and said: "It's really cruel, and it's really unexpected. I thought there would be more than three teams participating in the championship, but in the middle of the season, there are only three teams left. They fell behind at the end of the season, but they reached the Champions League final, which is a good result for them.

The cruelty is reflected in the fact that when Liverpool scored 103 points, the whole world is still discussing the topic that Liverpool may lose the championship.

I'm not going to say Liverpool weren't good enough, I'm not going to dwell on the games we didn't win, I'm not going to curse our opponents and resent their excellence.

This is the unpredictable side of football and it is where we are tested, when we think we are good enough and capable enough to win everything, the challenge comes! "

The reporter of "Team Daily" hopes that Situ Yunbing can comment on Manchester City's performance this season.

After a moment of silence, Situ Yunbing said: "Manchester City's progress is beyond imagination, they scored almost 30 more points than last season!
This is a manifestation of progress, but what cannot be ignored is that they do not have the burden and test of the Champions League, so that they can concentrate on playing every game in the league. This is very similar to Chelsea last year. It can only be said that they are better than Chelsea last year. outstanding.

When Klopp comes to the Premier League, I think he will bring some shock to the Premier League. When Guardiola comes to the Premier League, I think a revolution is brewing. It's not just that they are challenging Liverpool's dominance, but also They have brought their understanding of football, their football philosophy and tactical style to the Premier League, and they have influenced the league here from top to bottom.

I think if the media wants to see this season as a miracle in the Premier League, a great season, the focus should not be on how many points Liverpool got, how many points Manchester City got.

The focus should be on the deeper connotations, maybe it's too early to say, but I have a hunch that Klopp's Arsenal, Guardiola's Manchester City, their promotion and the storm they blow up is not just another change Breaking down the pattern of the Premier League BIG6 will have a profound impact on English football, which will benefit the Three Lions.

They are great opponents, opponents I admire from the bottom of my heart, and even cherish them a little.

Winning the championship as a coach is the ultimate goal, but leading the team to fight, we will also look at the opponent. A strong opponent will make me excited, and I will be overloaded to prepare for the game, and I will have higher demands on myself. I believe This is also the mentality of Liverpool players.

Manchester City has put unprecedented pressure on us because they are so good, and this will also make Liverpool better. I always firmly believe that only a cruel competitive environment can breed stronger kings! "

This may be the most solemn and serious interview Situ Yunbing has expressed this season. No one realizes that Situ Yunbing's seriousness stems from the fact that he has entered the countdown to leaving European football.

They themselves attached great importance to Situ Yunbing's words and deeds.

Situ Yunbing's views are even frequently quoted in newly published books about football coaches on the shelves of many bookstores!
The "Guardian" reporter asked Situ Yunbing: "Tomorrow's game will Liverpool maintain the consistent style of this season or will they play more utilitarianly? Liverpool only need a draw to win the championship!"

Situ Yunbing chuckled and said: "I have repeated this point of view many times, and now in the top matches of European football, you basically cannot see utilitarian teams winning the championship!

Liverpool really only needs a draw to win the championship. Even if the final result will be a draw, I will definitely let the team play more actively in terms of tactical arrangements. The control and initiative of the game will directly affect the outcome of the game. result!
You will say that Liverpool has a strong defensive strength. We have the best back line and midfield defense. If we play conservatively, Manchester City may not have a chance.

But this means that we are pinning our hope of winning the game on the level of Manchester City's own mistakes. I don't want this, that is not the current style of Liverpool.

I played defensive counterattacks in the first two years of coaching Liverpool, even this season I have used defensive counterattack tactics, but this is not the way Liverpool can dominate and dominate the game now! "

The reporters at the scene looked at each other in blank dismay. Everyone was not sure whether Situ Yunbing had thrown a smoke bomb at this time!
Because it seems to everyone that as long as Liverpool play a defensive counterattack, the championship is guaranteed.

Is it misleading Guardiola to be so committed to adopting proactive tactics?

No one knows, it can only be verified through competitions.

Even if he lied before the game, if Liverpool win the championship, it will become another classic case of Situ Yunbing's psychological warfare.

But this time they would never think that Situ Yunbing didn't have any idea of ​​fighting psychological warfare.

It's time for the decisive battle, and it's exactly what he wants to face Manchester City head-on!
At the pre-match press conference at Manchester City, Guardiola did not put on a particularly serious posture. He also learned a lot from Situ Yunbing.

Coaching is under a lot of pressure, and there is nothing wrong with pursuing results, but maintain a good attitude and pass this positive and optimistic attitude to everyone around you. If it can infect the team, that would be the best.

Guardiola's remarks in the interview before the game were concise and to the point.

"I don't think you need to ask me how Liverpool are doing, they were the best team in England before today, without a doubt!
They got more points and scored more goals!
We've won as many games as them, but they haven't lost a single game!
Especially considering that Liverpool won the League Cup, the FA Cup reached the final, and the Champions League will also go to Kiev to compete for the championship. My God, such a team has never been seen in the history of European football for a century.

But we have a chance to be a better team than Liverpool if we beat them at Anfield tomorrow! "

Looking back at this time, Manchester City's loss to Manchester United in the derby seems to have affected the entire battle.

If they were able to stabilize the situation after 2:0 and no one let Manchester United come back, then now Manchester City will lead Liverpool by 2 points.

The reporter also asked if Guardiola would regret losing to Manchester United.

Guardiola shook his head and said: "That is already in the past tense. Even if we lead Liverpool by 2 points, there will still be a decisive battle tomorrow, and it will basically not affect our deployment for the game, because we can't give up. He changed his style and style of play for a season.

I don't think Liverpool will either, we will all fight to win!

The winner is king! "

When a reporter asked Guardiola whether he would consider it a failure if he could not win the Premier League title this season, Guardiola thought for a while and said: "If you only use the championship as the standard of success, then of course not winning the championship is a failure.

However, Manchester City is now in a period of strong growth. We still have potential and room for improvement. It is foreseeable that we will have greater pressure and challenges next season, because we will return to the Champions League!
So others can say that Manchester City failed, but I think even if we can't win the championship, we have laid the foundation for success!

Of course, we will go all out for the championship and succeed tomorrow! "

The answers of Guardiola and Situ Yunbing in the interview before the game made Fleet Street very satisfied.

When the game day came, Fleet Street did not carry out exaggerated hype, but described this decisive battle as the battle of the kings of the century!
In the past ten years, Situ Yunbing and Guardiola have won 15 league titles and 8 Champions League titles together!
There is no doubt that the duel between these two is the battle between the top coaches in European football!
