Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 600
Stepping into the first game of the Premier League in 2014, apart from Manchester United, other powerful teams have won one after another.

Moyes has already been dubbed a "record-breaker" by Fleet Street.

After losing to Tottenham at home, Manchester United has never had a record of losing four games in the first 62 home games since the 63/10 season!

The real championship group has regarded Manchester United as a joke. Perhaps it has been a long time since I saw Manchester United's name mentioned in any report when talking about the championship.

And this is only half a year since Ferguson left Manchester United.

Liverpool went step by step, the league was temporarily suspended, but the FA Cup game came as scheduled. In the third round of the game, Liverpool played at home against low-level league opponents Oldham.

Liverpool played lightly, like Arnold and Mbappe got the chance to play, the rotation lineup did not play very well, but fortunately, they were able to win the game 2-0 without any risk, and Liverpool smoothly advanced to the next round.

Liverpool, who had a one-week break, was given two days off by Situ Yunbing.

He asked the players to go back to spend time with their families and make up for the time lost during the Christmas campaign.

Even Situ Yunbing enjoyed the two-person world with Sigrid at home without hearing anything from the window.

The winter transfer window is open, and there are not many rumors about Liverpool in the transfer market. It is absolutely self-deception to say that European giants are not interested in Liverpool players, but if they want to make a deal with Liverpool, it must be a sensation in European football It is unrealistic to complete the transfer at a high price during the winter transfer period, and although there are players that Liverpool is interested in, it is not suitable for the introduction in the winter.

In the 21st round of the Premier League, Liverpool went away to challenge Stoke City.

After a week of rest, Liverpool, who were refreshed after a week's rest, suffered a catastrophic away game against Stoke City, but Benatia was in an unstable state in today's game, giving the opponent some opportunities. The two teams scored a lot of goals. In the end Liverpool beat their opponents 5:2 in the away game.

In the same round of the league, the top Premier League teams won one after another, and the gap between the championship groups remained at 8-9 points at the end of the half.

Liverpool, 54 points.

Chelsea, 46 points.

Manchester City, 45 points.

Arsenal, 45 points.

The period before the start of the European knockout round is the stage of grabbing points!

Therefore, all the strong teams put all their energy into the league battle as much as possible.

Before the 22nd round of the league, Situ Yunbing was very happy when Kanter returned from injury.

In Liverpool's home game against Aston Villa, Situ Yunbing gave Kanter 30 minutes to get back the feeling of the game.

When Kante came on the pitch in the second half, Liverpool had already led by two goals. He actively ran on the court to intercept the opponent's attack, which made Situ Yunbing very satisfied. At the same time, Skrtel, who replaced Benatia in the starting lineup this round, also performed well. .

As punishment for his poor performance in the previous round, Benatia sat on the bench.

If you want to say which position in Liverpool is the most competitive now, it is not the striker, but the central defender!
Van Dijk firmly occupies one main position, but the competition for the other position is extremely fierce. Benatia, Skrtel, and Coulibaly compete!

Whoever does not perform well will sit on the bench.

Liverpool finally won Aston Villa 3:0 at home, and won three consecutive victories after the start of the second half of the league.

In the same round of the league, the Premier League championship group won collectively again. What attracted much attention was Chelsea against Manchester United at Stamford Bridge. In the end, the Blues won the Red Devils 3:1!
Situ Yunbing watched the finale at home, and after watching it, he went upstairs and went into the study. He just turned on the computer and was about to browse the performance of Mahrez on loan for the past half season. There will be scouts tracking his performance. Send a report to his mailbox, and there will also be a video of the game.

At this time his phone rang.

Situ Yunbing picked it up and looked, a little surprised, it was De Bruyne who called.

I figured out what it might be.

De Bruyne was the one who received the most attention among the Blues' heavy signings last summer, but De Bruyne was abandoned by Mourinho shortly after the start of the new season, and then De Bruyne did not play According to the information, Mourinho would rather trust the old generals of the past, the old Lampard, the underachiever Mikel, the injured Essien, but he would not give De Bruyne a chance. Of course, Mourinho attaches great importance to William and Ramirez.

Fleet Street reported that the reason was that De Bruyne failed to meet the requirements in defense, which caused problems with his attitude, and Mourinho was thrown into the cold palace.

For De Bruyne, such an encounter is definitely unbearable, and now he is going to transfer and leave.

After the call was connected, Situ Yunbing heard De Bruyne say to him: "Boss, happy new year, I'm leaving and going back to Hamburg. I may have disappointed you by not being famous in the Premier League."

Situ Yunbing didn't know how to comfort him, and said to him: "I thought you would call me before the transfer last summer. If you asked me for advice, I would stop you from going to Chelsea, no? In order to suppress competitors, I will expect you to go to Manchester City. After all, Pellegrini needs you more tactically than Mourinho. I have lower requirements for you in tactics, especially in defense. Mourinho, so it might be difficult for you to adapt under him, it doesn’t matter, you are so young, go back to Hamburg, within two years, you will still come back to the Premier League, I firmly believe in this, because this stage is more suitable for you.”

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone. De Bruyne might have wanted to ask Situ Yunbing why Liverpool didn't recruit him heavily, but he didn't ask in the end.

I have had great brilliance under my previous work, and I didn't follow him to the death from the beginning. It is really hard to say that I want to join Situ Yunbing's account after encountering setbacks.

However, Situ Yunbing did not have any reservations about his concern for the old general.

De Bruyne left the Premier League but at the level he is now, it is only a matter of time before he returns to the Premier League, he just went to the wrong club at the wrong time, when this problem is fixed after a period of time, he will still be there This stage is full of bright red and purple!
A week later, Liverpool ushered in the fourth round of the FA Cup and challenged Bournemouth as a guest.

In this game, Liverpool performed much better than in the previous round, even the substitute lineup can play a very dominant effect on the field.

Sterling scored a hat-trick in the game, helping Liverpool win the opponent 4:1 in the away game and successfully advance to the next round.

Chelsea not only let De Bruyne go in the winter, but also sent him back to Hamburg at a discount of 1000 million pounds, and even sent Mata to Manchester United.

There is no doubt that Mourinho's demanding requirements for technical players are a burden that the players themselves may not be able to bear.

After Chelsea already has Hazard and Oscar, if more technical players are added, Mourinho's iron wall will not be so strong. Just look at his demands on Di Maria and Ozil in Real Madrid. Knowing how much he attaches importance to defense, and no matter in Real Madrid or Inter Milan, his defense has fast central defenders to ensure the team's forward pressure, which also provides technical players with better space to play, In Inter Milan it was Lucio, in Real Madrid it was Ramos, but now Chelsea does not have such ability!

They can only defend passively. In this way, the midfielders need to attack and withdraw. Unfortunately, neither Mata nor De Bruyne are players who can satisfy Mourinho at the tactical level. Tough guys are needed!
Every coach has his own ideas and tactical blueprint for team building. The difference lies in whether it is subjective or objective.

A coach like Carlo Ancelotti is very objective, and he can create whatever kind of tactics he has, while Mourinho, Guardiola, including the current Situ Yunbing, are relatively subjective and strong. What kind of tactics need to be played, and then what kind of players should be introduced, and those who do not meet the requirements should be discarded decisively.

There is no right or wrong style, it just needs to be in line with the current environment.

If Chelsea's boss can be more patient, if Mourinho can let go of his obsession with the championship within two or three years, then Chelsea's hand of cards last summer, with De Bruyne and Hazard as the core to create a new tactic in the frontcourt, It may not be possible to come back strong after three years if the midfield and backcourt are rebuilt again, but it is a pity that the boss is impatient, and the coach can't let go of the obsession with the championship.

Situ Yunbing considered coaching Chelsea back then. On the one hand, the boss is generous, and on the other hand, Chelsea has belittled and cast a net in European football for many years to recruit many young players. There is definitely a lot to do.

It's a pity that in the era of utilitarianism, wealthy families can't afford to spend on record.

After the FA Cup, three days later, Liverpool ushered in the same city derby at Anfield, and Everton was a guest.

Everton is still the team in the middle and upper reaches of the standings, no different from the past few years, but the style has quietly changed under the leadership of Martinez.

The Merseyside Derby does not seem to have the hot confrontation atmosphere of the past. Liverpool is indeed a bit more focused on the game rather than hatred.

Fans from both sides fought in court, but they couldn't make much noise.

Especially at the door of Liverpool, after the Red Army's state is getting stronger day by day, suppressing Everton, who also switched to the technical flow line, is almost done at will. On the contrary, it is better than Stoke City, Hull City and the like. Easier!
Suarez played Everton with great energy, and today he scored a hat-trick at Anfield, helping the team beat their opponents 4:0 at home!
When the whistle blew for the end of the game, Liverpool fans cheered wildly, apparently forgetting their defeat at Stamford Bridge a month ago.

After shaking hands with Martinez after the game, Situ Yunbing walked into the player channel with one hand in his pocket.

Half a month later, the Champions League knockout round started. Before that, Liverpool did a good job of grabbing points in the league.
