Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 691 Take Off
When Alonzo first followed Situ Yunbing, he was mainly responsible for intelligence agents, which made Situ Yunbing very helpful in understanding the opponent and formulating corresponding targeted tactics before each game.

The cooperation between the two over the years can almost be said to be close and efficient.

But with Situ Yunbing taking over Liverpool, Alonzo's intelligence and reconnaissance role is actually decreasing, because Liverpool has become stronger and stronger!

Just like now Liverpool hardly need to pay attention to the intelligence of the bottom 6 teams in the Premier League, regardless of their strength fluctuations, tactical changes, personnel adjustments, Liverpool can crush them if they do their best!
If they fail to win the game, it is definitely not that their opponents have caused them such a big surprise, but that Liverpool's performance has not met expectations and there are problems themselves.

This is a similar inter-dimensional strength gap, destroying you, what does it have to do with you?

For teams at the mid-level of the Premier League, intelligence work does not need to be meticulous, or Alonzo's previous insights are gradually decreasing in importance at this stage.

So in the past year or so, the focus of his work has shifted to the daily life of an ordinary assistant coach, managing team training, sorting out the team's internal affairs, and adjusting interpersonal relationships, etc., and only in important key games , Alonzo's role will be highlighted.

But on the whole, Situ Yunbing's work efficiency will be multiplied with half the effort if he is beside Situ Yunbing, but the necessity is decreasing day by day. Put forward his request to help Situ Yunbing share this part of the work.

He probably knows in his heart that if he, the "Hand of the King", wants to play a bigger role, his battlefield is no longer in Liverpool.

In the context of Alonzo's imminent departure, Situ Yunbing needed to find someone to take over his job. He didn't want to increase the workload and burden on Moniz, so he thought of Gerrard, who seemed to be the best Candidates.

It can not only continue Gerrard's leadership role in the team, but also strengthen Situ Yunbing's authority, and it will also help Gerrard complete his career transition from retirement to coach more quickly and smoothly.

Gerrard did plan to retire in the last half of the season.

On the one hand, it is true that he has no regrets in his career at the Liverpool club, and playing for a longer period of time must be combined with the actual situation. If the team needs his contribution, he must be obliged.

But no matter the growth of the young players in the team or the strong support in place, I am a veteran of the sunset after all, and I can't compare with those who are rising in the east.

While sitting on the bench, he thought that maybe retiring now would be considered an honorable discharge.

So what do you do after retirement?

The two most mainstream ways for stars to retire are two, one is to be a sports commentator, to be a guest, to explain games, to write columns, and the second way is to change careers and become a coach, whether it is an ordinary coach or a head coach, this is always the big one. The choice of most people, and there are still some paths left, such as "politics" in the industry, working in clubs, etc. There are not many choices, but they all rely on career skills.

Now Situ Yunbing sent an invitation to Gerald, and Gerald agreed without thinking too long, because this is the shortest and best way, if he refuses, this opportunity will be lost!

It is impossible for Situ Yunbing to leave a seat waiting for him to change his mind. If he wants to come in the future, there may not be a seat waiting for him.

The two generals had a very happy dinner. They talked about some topics that they never talked about before, how to manage the team.
The next morning, Situ Yunbing held a farewell party for Alonzo in the club.

Alonzo's departure came as a surprise to many, including the coaches who worked with him, as well as the players.

Everyone doesn't know where he is now, but they just think he has a better job, such as a club inviting him to be the coach. There have been many such rumors in the past two years.

Although it is impossible for first-tier clubs to take the risk of letting Alonzo coach, some small clubs are willing to give it a go.

Especially the football circle also pays attention to personal connections. Alonzo and Situ Yunbing have such a close relationship. If he gets Alonzo, no one will doubt that Situ Yunbing will guide him behind the scenes on the strategy and goals of signing. One item may bring huge benefits to the club!
But before leaving, Alonzo never said which club he would be the coach of.

Sending Alonzo away will not make Situ Yunbing sad. On the contrary, he is full of expectations and support. He hopes that Alonzo can make a career and achievements in his new position. Although it is difficult, but then again Come back, if it is something that can be done easily, Alonzo may not be interested in trying it.

After Alonzo left, the Liverpool team announced Gerrard's identity as a starting player and assistant coach.

Situ Yunbing's decision was unanimously supported by the club from top to bottom.

In fact, the management also has a headache about how to arrange Gerrard's future. On the one hand, they expect to continue to have a banner like Gerrard, but they don't know how to provide him with a new job. Now Situ Yunbing helps them solve the problem. solved this trouble.

In addition to training, Gerrard will now seriously study professional coaching knowledge and obtain a coaching certificate.

In the 22nd round of the weekend league, Liverpool went to Villa Park to challenge Aston Villa.

Although the team still has two injuries, Eriksson and Mahrez, Liverpool can come up with a strong enough lineup to meet every battle now.

Just when Situ Yunbing was full of ambitions, he did not expect Kanter to be injured again in less than 5 minutes.

Situ Yunbing only felt that he had been poured cold water, and even Liverpool fans were sweating for the team, for fear that the team would fall into a stage of ups and downs, but Henderson, who came off the bench for Liverpool, performed well. Together with Casemiro, he stabilized the team's midfield.

In the 29th minute of the game, after Mbappe's shot in the penalty area was blocked by the Aston Villa goalkeeper, Gareth Bale assisted Coutinho to rub the far corner of the goal after controlling the ball on the line of the penalty area.

Liverpool head start away!

Only 4 minutes later, Gareth Bell made a runaway left wing to give Liverpool an offensive depth advantage, and then Gareth Bell made a cross and assisted Lewandowski to score a goal in the penalty area!
Aston Villa was a bit confused, just about to rise up to resist, but Koulibaly's bold forward steal in the backcourt won a fast break opportunity, Henderson passed the ball straight to the front of the penalty area, Lewando Fowski changed the direction of the ball and got rid of the defender, and then blasted the ball into the upper left corner of the goal with a burst shot from the penalty area line!
Liverpool scored 8 goals in 3 minutes to seal the victory!

The strong performance made all the fans of the home team look sideways!

After Aston Villa focused their main defensive attention on Gareth Bale, Lewandowski and Coutinho in the second half, Mbappe became Liverpool's new firepower!
When Liverpool attacked the left side of the front field, Aston Villa also concentrated their forces on this side to chase and intercept. When Coutinho was besieged, he passed the ball short to the feet of Gareth Bale, who was on the extreme side. Aston Villa's players swarmed up and wanted to steal the ball immediately. After all, Gareth Bale seemed to have no room to break through, and he didn't even have room to make moves.

But Gareth Bale kicked the ball back diagonally.

Robertson ran two steps forward from less than 10 yards behind and passed the ball directly without making adjustments!
With a strong external rotation, the football flew straight to the back of the penalty area, and Aston Villa's defense in the area where the football landed was obviously blank!
Mbappe goes forward to meet the ball and volleys sideways!

His goal was eye-catching, clean and neat!

When the football flew into the goal, Situ Yunbing couldn't help applauding from the sidelines.

Mbappe rushed to the sidelines to celebrate the goal with his arms around his chest, with a smug look on his face.

Aston Villa is really helpless.

They don't want Mbappe to be in the limelight, it seems to make them feel shameless, but Liverpool is not the main attack on Mbappe here. Obviously, Gareth Bale and Lewandowski give Mbappe Hit the cover to create a strategic advantage.

Compared with Liverpool's previous attacking group, Liverpool now has an extra layer of offensive options and changes.

Play Lewandowski and Gareth Bell first. If they are restricted, then create opportunities for Mbappe!
If it is not a top opponent, I am afraid it will be very difficult to completely contain Liverpool!
When Aston Villa's entire army retreated, Liverpool also restrained, constantly bombarding the opponent's defense with long-range shots from the periphery.

In the 89th minute of the game, Henderson pierced the opponent's goal with a long shot from the outside to add to the team's icing on the cake.

Liverpool finally won Aston Villa away with a score of 5:0!

After two consecutive draws at home, the two-game winning streak in away games especially boosted morale.

Moreover, they slammed their opponents with 11 goals in two rounds. Liverpool's firepower is breathtaking!
After the game, Fleet Street couldn't help applauding Liverpool. Although it is difficult to describe such a Liverpool team as perfect, they will not have major problems!

Always maintain a championship-level standard!
And once things go smoothly for Liverpool, I'm afraid it's really gods who block and kill gods, and Buddhas block and destroy Buddhas!

In the same round of the league, Chelsea also showed a strong performance in the away game. They swept Swansea 5-0 and were still 1 point behind Liverpool.

Manchester City unexpectedly lost 0:2 to Arsenal at home!

At the end of the Christmas Devil's schedule, Manchester City was only 2 points behind Liverpool. As a result, after two rounds, Liverpool won two consecutive games, Manchester City won two rounds, and fell behind Liverpool by 7 points in the blink of an eye!

The Manchester City fans were going crazy. They finally watched the team return to the championship. Before they could be happy, the team said goodbye to the championship.
