Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 620
After the intermission, the two sides returned to the court in the second half to change sides and fight again.

Liverpool has not changed the tactical stance of the game from the beginning to the end, unswervingly playing a very conventional defensive counterattack at Stamford Bridge, unlike Chelsea's previous extreme defense, or almost sticking to tactics without counterattack threats.

Chelsea adopted an active defensive strategy in the second half. Although they worked hard on offense, the effect was not very good.

Several consecutive attacks failed to form a shot in the penalty area, and the long-range shots from the outside were almost no longer a threat. After several counterattacks from Liverpool's side, after killing halftime, Chelsea all adopted foul tactics and died prematurely, which made Chelsea Several players have received yellow cards.

Even David Luiz almost got a second yellow card.

After 60 minutes of the game, Mourinho began to make substitutions.

Demba Ba came on to replace Torres.

Situ Yun's soldiers stood still.

After Demba Ba came on the field, there was no change in the development of the situation, and Chelsea's offensive efficiency was still very low.

Mourinho made another substitution, and Schurrle came on to replace Oscar!

Although this allowed Chelsea to have a certain impact on the wing attack, and Schurrle invested more in defense than Oscar, it was still unable to create a dangerous situation that would panic Liverpool.

Mourinho should be very envious of Liverpool's defensive iron triangle at this time, the combination of Kanter, Van Dijk, and Benatia.

In the 75th minute of the game, Mourinho used up the last substitution.

Eto'o comes on for Ashley Cole.

Fight!

In the 79th minute of the game, when William's through ball wanted to find Eto'o, because the pass was too close to the goalkeeper, Ter Stegen attacked and confiscated the ball directly.

Liverpool launched a counterattack from the backcourt. Azpilicueta made a long pass from the backcourt. Suarez knocked the ball back to Gerrard, who followed up in the middle, and then sent a through pass. Find another teammate on the front line, Gareth Bale.

Gareth Bale just stopped the ball in the penalty area and changed to a crosscut, but he was knocked down in the penalty area by Eto'o, who retreated and hit the center back after Eto'o came on the field.

The referee decisively blew his whistle to indicate that Lewis had fouled, and showed him a second yellow card!
Chelsea fans closed their eyes in despair.

Mourinho was expressionless.

Situ Yunbing was not surprised. This duel had established today's situation the moment Kanter scored in the first round!
Gerrard took the penalty and took the penalty overnight!

"Red Army captain Steven Gerrard sent the ball into the lower left corner of the goal with a precise push, and Liverpool led Chelsea 3-0 at Stamford Bridge!
Chelsea played one less player and fell behind with a total score of four goals. Their Champions League journey is over. In a sense, their journey this season is also over. Said it didn't exceed expectations.

Stabilizing the top three rankings in the league is a small improvement, and stopping the quarter-finals of the Champions League can be regarded as allowing Chelsea to return to the top echelon of the Champions League. In fact, if they hadn't met Liverpool, they might not have a chance to go further into the semi-finals.

But now it's all over! "

After applauding and celebrating the goal, Situ Yunbing began to make substitutions.

Henderson and Coutinho came off the bench one after another, Chelsea have no desire to fight.

After the last 10 minutes of the game, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

Liverpool fans were having a carnival at Stamford Bridge, and Liverpool players hugged each other excitedly and gave them high fives to celebrate their entry into the semi-finals of the Champions League!
Although Situ Yunbing is no stranger to this personally, this is the third time in his coaching career that he has led his team to the semi-finals of the Champions League, but it is definitely an exciting moment for these Liverpool players!

Ter Stegen went from Borussia to Liverpool and entered the top ranks of goalkeepers in just two years. After Azpilicueta, Van Dijk and Kante spent an unsatisfactory season in Hamburg, they were able to return to the top ranks. Europe's top stage, and reaching the semi-finals, this is their pursuit, and like Benatia, Gareth Bale, Suarez are really keeping the clouds open to see the moon, since the peak of Monaco, Now they're finally reliving the dreamy moment of getting back to the top stage!
At the same time, like Robertson, Eriksson, Casemiro, Coutinho, etc., it is definitely a new experience for them to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time!

They start to realize that the eyes of the whole world are on them!

They are the masters of European football!

Situ Yunbing was taken care of by reporters on the sidelines, but he turned to Mourinho after high-fiving the coaching staff and colleagues. When the two shook hands, Situ Yunbing said to Mourinho: "See you next season. "

Mourinho whispered: "The war is not over yet."

With a rare stubbornness on his face, Situ Yunbing nodded and smiled.

Of course it's not over yet, he and Mourinho still have at least one more season to die!
But he had already made up his mind.

When he came to the post-match press conference, Situ Yunbing was asked by the reporter what it felt like to lead Liverpool to the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Situ Yunbing said lightly: "I don't think I have any sense of freshness and satisfaction. We are far more than that, but I will understand the excitement of the players. Liverpool has not broken into the semi-finals of the Champions League for a long time. We want to be on this stage. Proving yourself again in European football, the semi-finals are not enough.

Next, we will have some time to rest and recuperate. First of all, we must secure the league championship, and then go all out to play in the semi-finals of the Champions League. "

Regarding Chelsea's performance today, Situ Yunbing's evaluation is not as good as it was at the end of the previous game.

"Chelsea had to play out at home and we took advantage of that and then we were able to win games smarter.

I think Chelsea may not have broken the rules to fight, which allowed them to not cause obvious troubles for Liverpool, so in my opinion, Liverpool played normally in today's game, while Chelsea did not reach the pass line. "

Looking forward to the opponents in the top four of the Champions League, Situ Yunbing shook his head and said: "I don't care, let UEFA decide by drawing lots."

Mourinho's remarks after the game were quite a kind of helplessness that he lost convincingly.

"Liverpool is stronger in terms of overall strength. Chelsea have tried their best to win, but our failure to get a draw in the first leg is fatal. If you want to ask me why we didn't press crazy at home, I think I can tell you that it is definitely suicide, and the game will end in 30 minutes and all suspense will be eliminated.

We now have to forget the pain of elimination, concentrate on the league, and then start preparations for next season ahead of schedule. "

In fact, this season Mourinho has said more than once that Chelsea do not have the strength to win the championship. Whether in the league or in the Champions League, even if they devote all their strength to the Champions League, it is just luck to see how far they can go.

But it is absolutely unrealistic to say that you have the confidence to win the championship, or just set your goal on the championship.

The last time a Premier League team won the Champions League was in 08. In the past few years, there were two runner-ups. Among the European powers, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and Bayern Munich have become the top teams. Now, Liverpool is the strongest in the Premier League, followed by Manchester City. In short, no matter how ambitious Chelsea is, it will not ignore this fact.

Therefore, this season should be regarded as a transition. After Mourinho entered the palace for the second time, he sorted out the old and young of the team, and then re-formulated the team's development strategy, and then reshaped Chelsea's iron-blooded army spirit through signings. .

One thing that has to be admitted is the reality that Abramovich's investment in Chelsea has declined!
Ten years ago, when Mourinho took charge of Chelsea for the first time, Abramovich could spend hundreds of millions of pounds in one summer. Ten years later, even if he spent [-] million pounds in one summer, the effect would be at least [-]% off!

Because of the increase in the value of players, the high premium, and the decrease in the mobility of top stars in the transfer market, this has something to do with the metabolism of top player resources in European football as a whole.

Therefore, Mourinho's second entry to Chelsea is much more difficult than when he came to Chelsea last time.

Don't forget that in 04 he took over from Ranieri's Chelsea team, which was originally the runner-up team of the Premier League. They lost to Arsenal, which created the myth of invincibility.

And Chelsea, which Mourinho took over last summer, was fourth in the Premier League!
A long way to go.

Situ Yunbing led the team back to Liverpool, and when he got off the plane, he told the players to give them a day off, let them go back and have a good rest, and sleep as long as they can!
When he got home, Sigrid was still awake in the bedroom. The game was going on in the middle of the week, and she had to go to class during the day, so naturally there was no time to go to London to watch the game.

When Situ Yunbing returned to the bedroom, Sigrid jumped off the bed in pajamas and threw herself into her arms. The two of them were tender for a moment. Tablet browsing wedding customization items.

Situ Yunbing couldn't help asking: "Are you sure you don't want to get married in a church?"

Situ Yunbing didn't have any special requirements for getting married, or he didn't even have a position at all.

Chinese style, Western style, freestyle are all fine.

To him, marriage is just a ceremony, a ceremony that only needs to be filled with happy and sweet memories!
In this regard, he hopes to satisfy Sigrid's best wishes for the wedding.

But to his surprise, Sigrid did not want to get married in the church.

Sigrid shook her head and said, "I know you're not a believer."

Situ Yunbing put his arms around her and laughed, "It's not important, the important thing is that you are happy!"

Sigrid raised her head and glanced at him, then said casually, "But I also want you to be happy, and getting married should be very happy, why don't we use a Chinese-style wedding ceremony?"

Situ Yunbing frowned slightly, and said, "Wouldn't that be weird? My friend, wouldn't your family and friends feel awkward being there?"

After a moment of silence, Sigrid smiled and said, "That's it, Chinese style, European style, let's do it again! Anyway, I marry you, and no one else cares about it!"

Situ Yunbing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Wouldn't it make people think that we don't respect the wedding?"

"Should we care what other people think when we get married? Whoever has an opinion, get out!"

"Hahahaha, you really are my wife!"
