Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 652 American fans are so happy

Both Liverpool and Real Madrid have come out of the group stage well.

Whether it is player running-in or state adjustment, the two teams have actually reached a relatively good state.

Therefore, both teams will take this match very seriously.

Perhaps the pressure on Real Madrid also includes saving face.

On the court, Situ Yunbing and Ancelotti shook hands before the game, and after some pleasantries, they each came to the coach command area.

The starting players of the two teams today can be described as star-studded.

Real Madrid starting 433.
Goalkeeper: Keylor Navas.

Defenders: Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Marcelo.

Midfielders: Kroos, Khedira, Modric.

Forwards: James Rodriguez, Benzema, Ronaldo.

Liverpool also started 433.
Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.

Defenders: Azpilicueta, Van Dijk, Koulibaly, Robertson.

Midfield: Eriksson, Kante, Casemiro.

Forwards: Gareth Bale, Lewandowski, Coutinho.

After the start of the game, Real Madrid took the lead in attacking Liverpool's defense. Their midfield organization efficiency is stronger than before, but the threat on the front line seems to be reduced. Ronaldo's breakthrough ability is not as strong as that of Di Maria. , but his ability to play the ball is relatively better.

Liverpool's defense is solid and tough!

The first three warm-up matches were more about adjusting the team's state and getting in with the new aid. There was no change in the tactical level, which was quite satisfactory.

But in the second half of preparing for the new season, the clarification and strengthening of the tactical system will become the focus.

Liverpool's current defensive strength is stronger than last season!

The reason lies in the further improvement of Casemiro, Robertson and Eriksson's ability and experience, as well as the maturity of their comprehensive strength.

In the past, tough defensive teams tended to take a relatively passive and static approach to contain opponents.

That is to wait for the opponent to attack, exhaust the opponent's offensive creativity, and then wait for an opportunity to fight back.

But this is the most basic tactical play of a well-defended team, which was very popular in Italy before.

Now the giants rarely play like this, because the scene is not good.

Situ Yunbing now needs to further develop tactics based on tough defense, so he can only take the initiative to use defense to shape offensive opportunities!
In terms of offensive creativity, Liverpool is definitely not as good as Real Madrid, so don't work hard on this aspect. It is the best policy to take the initiative to use your own advantages to control the game situation.

When Real Madrid's attacks failed again and again, Liverpool's defense became more and more crazy!
Kanter's raids are almost everywhere. Eriksson and Casemiro also joined the ranks of crazy counter-attacks in the midfield. The back line is pressed forward and pays attention to the protection of the ribs. Once Liverpool defends successfully , After snatching the ball, the next 5 seconds must instigate a forward offensive.

Gareth Bale and Coutinho responded on the wing, with the former advancing and the rear supporting, with a clear division of labor.

Lewandowski is at the top and shoots whenever he gets a chance!
Real Madrid's defense is not the top in Europe. The two full-backs are strong in offense and weak in defense. Khedira is not a very strong midfielder because of his slow speed. The combination of Ramos and Varane is indeed very strong. But the defense is always the whole, not just looking at the parts.

When Liverpool's offense started to be threatening, it actually had an impact on Real Madrid's offense as well.

This leaves less time for the Real Madrid organization to launch a counterattack. If the three-to-five-foot pass cannot form a threat, it is easy to lose the ball again in a short time.

Before the end of the first half, Coutinho's shot from outside the penalty area hit the post and bounced, and Lewandowski followed up with a follow-up shot to send the ball into the goal.

Liverpool temporarily leads Real Madrid 1:0!
Navas has done a lot of good things in the first half, but this goal is really helpless. Coutinho's shot is already at an extreme angle. method, unless the ball shot by the opponent is directed at him.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides to fight again, and neither team made any substitutions. It seems that they all competed in this game.

Real Madrid quickly knocked on Liverpool's goal with a quick counterattack. During the counterattack, Ronaldo quickly cut inside from the wing to the middle of the penalty area, and received a wonderful pass from Ronaldo to score the goal!

The fans at the scene enjoyed watching it very much, and this matchup seemed to allow them to appreciate the charm of European football.

After Liverpool lost the ball, they still played steadily. When the game came to the 74th minute, Gareth Bale, who was attacking continuously, was brought down by Varane to get a penalty when he entered the penalty area.

Real Madrid's generals are blown up!

It seems that they regard this warm-up match as extremely important!
It is undeniable that reaching the final will bring more event bonus income.

But apparently the Real Madrid players are not angry about the money.

They don't want to be defeated by Liverpool again!
They want revenge!

But Liverpool didn't do what they wanted.

Lewandowski scored a penalty kick and Liverpool took the lead again.

When the game entered the final stage, Situ Yunbing began to let the team shrink the defensive line and play passive defensive counterattack tactics.

At the same time, he also made substitutions.

Gerrard, Vardy, Sane, Mahrez and Henderson are on the stage.

Basically retain the strong defensive system, and changed the offensive organization configuration.

In the 86th minute of the game, Real Madrid's defensive line was empty due to heavy pressure. Mahrez sent a wonderful pass to Vardy who responded in the center after rushing in from the right.

Vardy's close shot was saved by Navas!
However, the football that was blocked outside the penalty area was controlled by Henderson who followed up and passed it diagonally to the left side of the penalty area. Sane cut inside and kicked the ball into the far corner of the goal!
Liverpool 3:1 Real Madrid to seal the victory!

The Real Madrid generals were very unwilling to be dejected, but Ancelotti treated this situation calmly.

Winning will have a positive impact on winning, but it does not mean that losing is worthless. Losing may also bring positive energy to the team.

At least this confrontation made Real Madrid realize that it was no accident that they lost to Liverpool in the final last season. They are still far behind Liverpool, the most recognized team in Europe. This will force them to work hard after the start of the new season!
When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Situ Yunbing went to shake hands with Ancelotti after the game. He said to Ancelotti: "I look forward to meeting again in the European war."

Ancelotti replied: "I don't want to meet in the final, preferably before the final!"

Situ Yunbing smiled.

Meeting in the knockout round before the final means two rounds of home and away games, so at least the team's fault tolerance rate will increase a little!
Situ Yunbing commented on the new summer aid Sane for the first time after the game.

"I think he is the most talented player of the new generation in Germany, bar none.

But a player's ability is not only reflected in his skills, he is still a young player after all, and we cannot have too strict requirements on him.

At his age, he can have such delicate skills and obvious combination of man-ball speed, so he should calm down and think about which aspect can improve his overall strength rapidly!
Obviously, it is the level of fighting spirit, will and tactical literacy that can make him improve his strength the fastest.

So we will also focus on training him in these two aspects in the future. I expect him to be successful in Liverpool, and I am full of expectations for him! "

Sane is definitely not a player who can provoke the team, but at the technical level, he is already better than many players who are 23 or 25 years old, so there is actually only one problem he faces: how to become a top star !

If you are addicted to technology, it will only limit your own development.

Situ Yunbing hopes that in two to three years, Sane can become the absolute main force of Liverpool. At that time, there will be Mbappe in the top position, and Liverpool's striker will have many talents!

The International Champions Cup came to its final match.

Liverpool and Manchester United arrived in Miami, USA, where they will fight for the championship.

American fans are actually very happy, the Premier League title match, the Champions League final remake, the English derby!
They can watch these giants' conversations that will inevitably attract worldwide attention once they happen in the European arena in a short period of time at their doorstep!
Before the expedition, Situ Yunbing's evaluation of Manchester United made Van Gaal very unhappy.

Manchester United's warm-up performance is also quite good. At least Van Gaal is still a coach who can control the overall situation and has his own unique coaching qualities. Therefore, after Manchester United's failure by Moyes, immediately hiring a top coach can be considered to set things right. It will indeed have a very positive stimulating effect.

And Manchester United's signings in the summer really look great. Players like Di Maria and Herrera joining, it is actually hard to say that we are not rare for other teams in the Premier League.

Van Gaal responded to Situ Yunbing's remarks before the game.

"He was a very successful manager, but he just caught up with the good times, when Manchester United were at their best, why didn't he come to coach Liverpool?
When he first coached in 2008, why did he go to Ligue [-] instead of the Premier League?
When Manchester United is at a low point, anyone can criticize Manchester United and humiliate Manchester United. Of course, the Liverpool coach will not be absent!
They don't expect United to get better, so it doesn't matter what they say!

My job is to lead Manchester United out of the trough and regain its glory. When we can achieve certain results, those rumors about Manchester United will disappear, and it will also show how ignorant and naive those who speak out are! "

There is nothing wrong with Van Gaal's stance. In the words of some extreme Liverpool fans, Manchester United is now like a slave without dignity in front of Liverpool, allowing Liverpool to beat and scold at will!
Shouldn't the Manchester United boss be getting tougher?
