Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 673
Liverpool played against Swansea at home in the middle of the week, and the League Cup 1/8 finals kicked off.

Situ Yunbing has carried out a personnel rotation. A team like Swansea certainly does not have much ambition in the league, or even if it pays more, it will be difficult to enter the European arena. The local cup is what they expect to make achievements battlefield.

Liverpool's substitute lineup is led by captain Gerrard. Although the overall combat quality at Anfield is not particularly high, the combat effectiveness is still very good. After wasting a lot of opportunities, Vardy finally relied on Sane once again The assist completed the goal!

Swansea caught up in the second half and evened the score in the 68th minute of the game. Only at the last moment of the game did Gerrard break through the opponent's goal with a shot from outside the penalty area. win!
Although it was difficult for Liverpool to win the recent game, but anyway, they won in the end!
This is a very good phenomenon.

After Liverpool advanced to the quarter-finals of the League Cup, Van Dijk returned from injury.

Liverpool travel to the northeast of England to challenge Newcastle United at the weekend.

The cold rain in late autumn was extremely cold. Situ Yunbing stood in the rain and directed the team's game. Van Dijk, who was thought to be the most stable link, showed a very bad state in this game. It seems that after returning from injury, he did not Can immediately return to a better state, but Coulibaly frequently fills up defenses to help Liverpool resolve the danger.

In the bleak wind and rain, Liverpool's overall state is not good, especially players like Gareth Bale and Mahrez, who rely on speed or skill, will make more mistakes.

At the end of the game, the two teams shook hands and made a draw in the score of 1:1, and no one was able to rewrite the score in the last 25 minutes.

Weather and venue factors may be an excuse for Liverpool's failure to score all 3 points, but Situ Yunbing is still worried about Van Dijk's failure to recover.

Of course he will not criticize Van Dijk publicly or privately, but will give him more time and game time to recover.

When returning by plane, Situ Yunbing came to Van Dijk's side. The two traveled from Hamburg to Liverpool. The relationship between the master and the apprentice is naturally beyond doubt.

Van Dijk's determination to follow Situ Yunbing's service can also be learned from heaven and earth, so there is no need to say more hypocritical or polite words.

Situ Yunbing sat beside him and said softly, "We are going to play against Chelsea at home next weekend, tell me, can I trust you?"

Van Dijk also knew that he performed very badly at St. James' Park, and the team's only conceded goal was directly related to his clearance error.

Van Dijk said with a firm face, "Boss, I can definitely be trusted."

Situ Yunbing nodded slightly, stood up and left.

He doesn't need Van Dijk to boast, he must do something to Chelsea, but since Van Dijk made the guarantee himself, he trusts his players.

This does not mean that Van Dijk has to give a clear answer. If he has any inconvenience or hesitation, he can be open and honest with Situ Yunbing. This is how Situ Yunbing has always communicated with players.

Just like what he said to the players countless times, if you feel unwell and unable to play, you should speak up as soon as possible. This will not change the position of the player in Situ Yunbing's heart, but to better protect the interests of the player and the team .

In the middle of the week, Liverpool will have a guest expedition to Zenit St. Petersburg, and they will play Chelsea again on the weekend. Although it is at home, it will be a big test for Liverpool.

英超第11轮，利物浦做客1:1战平纽卡斯尔联队，切尔西却在主场2:1有惊无险地拿下了女王公园巡游者，阿森纳主场3:0完胜伯恩利。

The most watched game was played at the Etihad Stadium. Manchester City defeated Manchester United 1-0 at home with Aguero's lore!
Liverpool just narrowed the gap with Chelsea in the last round, and fell behind to Chelsea by 3 points again a week later.

Liverpool went to Russia in the middle of the week. Situ Yunbing left Gareth Bale, Eriksson and Casemiro in Liverpool this time.

Zenit St. Petersburg is still second in the group, as Monaco drew with Benfica in the last round.

The current situation is that Liverpool ranks first in the group, leading No. 25 points and No. 36 points, so Liverpool has sufficient room for error to rotate.

After coming to the home court of Zenit in St. Petersburg, Villas-Boas saw Liverpool's starting lineup after playing, and his face suddenly turned pale.

He looked at Situ Yunbing who was sitting calmly on the coach's bench, and his heart was full of resentment!
It was as if Situ Yunbing showed his contempt to the whole world!
Liverpool started today at 433.
Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.

Defenders: Alexander-Arnold, Koulibaly, Skrtel, Robertson.

Midfield: Henderson, Kante, Gerrard.

Forwards: Mbappe, Vardy, Sane.

In the Liverpool team, there is Arnold who has just turned 16 and Mbappe who is only 1 years old in one month!
Is this a disdain for Zenit St. Petersburg?
Maybe.

This is the Champions League!

Not the fucking League Cup!

In the cold Russia, Boas's heart is even colder!
After the start of the game, he ordered the team to attack Liverpool.

But in the 11th minute of the game, Sane almost broke through the opponent's goal through a counter-attack opportunity. His single-handed chance ended up hitting the plane with a shot!
The dangerous situation in front of the door made Zenit St. Petersburg wake up and dare not underestimate the enemy again!
To play against Chelsea on the weekend, Situ Yunbing will try his best to ensure that the team can cope with the game well in terms of physical fitness and state. For example, the key player Azpilicueta sits on the bench, so that he can keep his strength and have a good weekend. Against Hazard.

Liverpool came to the away game and played defensively unswervingly, without any aggressiveness. If they can score 1 point in the away game, Situ Yunbing will be satisfied.

At the same time, he also achieved the goal of exercising Arnold and Mbappé.

The pace of the game is relatively slow, and both teams are tightening the fence, so that the highlights of the game are rare.

At 55 minutes into the second half of the game, Situ Yunbing replaced Skrtel with Van Dijk, trying to let Van Dijk recover through the game.

It has to be said that the Premier League matches are now more intense than the Champions League. At least the confrontation between players in the Champions League is not as good as the Premier League. The difference in referee scales also allows Liverpool to deal with the Champions League more calmly. On the contrary, the Premier League is obviously It is more intense, making it difficult for Liverpool to achieve a high degree of domination of the game.

After 70 minutes of the game, Situ Yunbing replaced Mbappe, who performed so well today, with Mahrez.

After Mbappe was replaced, he sat on the bench with a dark face. When Moniz saw this, he walked to his side and whispered: "Are you angry? If you direct your grievance at the main Coach, that's stupid!"

Mbappe shook his head and said to Moniz: "I'm angry with myself. BOSS told me before that I will start today, and I prepared well, but I don't know why. There is a feeling that I can't use my strength, as if some invisible force is suppressing me."

Moniz said to him earnestly: "This is a very normal phenomenon. You don't need to be angry, because you can't change the climate and weather here, and you can't make your opponents and your teammates obey your command. Today The pace of the game is slow. The more you want to go faster, it will make yourself uncomfortable. In addition, in this climate, the stars of European giants will lose at least [-]% of their fighting power when they come here. If you don’t believe me, you can go back and find them. Watch the game video in Eastern Europe for yourself, and see if I’m right. The most important thing for you is to feel and summarize the experience of today’s game. This is the reason why BOSS put you in the starting lineup. You see, in terms of mentality, I think Arnold’s performance He is more mature than you, at least today he looks very calm, and his calm demeanor looks like a general.

Of course, if you had a faster game, maybe you would have played better than him, because you two are players in different positions and roles.

He needs 90 minutes of undivided attention, and you only need less than 10 seconds of flashes to decide and rewrite the result. "

Mbappe was thoughtful when he heard the words, then nodded slightly, and his expression eased a lot.

Now everyone can see Mbappé's talent and ability, but in this era of highly developed information, no one dares to say that a talented star will definitely succeed. Too many talented young talents fall halfway, and finally become unknown. The success rate of the football industry itself is pitifully low, and the same is true among the ranks of geniuses. The proportion of those who can eventually become stars is also quite low.

Whether Mbappe is a dragon or a worm, the Liverpool coaching team does not ask the result, but pays silently and carefully cultivates him. It is good to be able to kick him out. If he can't, then they have a clear conscience, just sighed.

In fact, Liverpool's substitutions are relatively regular. Situ Yunbing does not have too high expectations for the game. Compared with the results of the game, he values ​​the individual performance of several players.

Van Dijk's state has recovered, Arnold's ability to resist pressure in big scenes as a rookie, and Sane's performance.

That's it.

But Boas obviously did not view the game from the perspective of training.

When he waved his hand to order the team to attack after 75 minutes of the game, he naturally expected to bring Liverpool a strong threat through offensive pressure in the last 15 minutes of the game.

If such a sneak attack can be successful, then Zenit St. Petersburg can win a victory and take all 3 points, and the probability of advancing to the top 16 of the Champions League will be very high.

Seeing Zenit St. Petersburg's aggressive attack, Situ Yunbing became more energetic, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and muttered to himself: "You don't want to end peacefully. Since you want to use the knife, you have to see me." Blood"
