Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 811

It seems a little surprising that Gent can get the second place in the group and advance to the top 16 of the Champions League, but it is relieved to look at their opponents in the group stage.

Valencia, Lyon, Zenit St. Petersburg.

There is not much difference in the strength of the four teams, so it is a normal result for anyone in this group to advance.

Liverpool's signing luck is good, and they basically have the feeling of being guaranteed the quarter-finals of the Champions League when they draw Gent.

But no game should be taken lightly.

Came to Belgium to challenge Ghent in the first round. Situ Yunbing's starting lineup surprised everyone!
He followed the lineup that slaughtered Aston Villa last weekend!

The impassioned pre-war mobilization in the locker room before the game made this starting lineup composed of young players and substitute players full of fighting spirit.

If Ghent wants to advance, they must at least win at home. After all, going to Anfield to beat Liverpool is not something they can do.

If they can create a miracle, then they can only beat Liverpool at home, go to the away game to try to get a draw or win with less loss, and finally eliminate Liverpool with a total score!

This will definitely be a shocking upset.

When the fans of Gent and their coaches and players saw Liverpool fielding such a lineup, no one would think that Liverpool came to die.

But they ignited more hope!

At least Liverpool don't look that strong.

And Liverpool's main players sitting on the bench were a little panicked!
Lewandowski couldn't help whispering to Gareth Bale: "Did we do something wrong?"

Gareth Bale shook his head, then nodded and said, "Maybe it was the tie with Sunderland."

Lewandowski frowned and said, "Boss was very calm after the game, not angry."

Gareth Bale shrugged: "I can't say for sure, but I think if there is a problem, it must be that game."

Assistant coach Gerrard poked his head out and said seriously to the two: "Watch the game carefully, you may appear on the field at any time, don't be distracted!"

The two stopped whispering and watched the battle seriously.

Gent, even though promising, still behaved very cautiously at home.

Liverpool played this kind of key game, and their offensive creativity has declined. Fortunately, Sane and Mbappe's single-soldier breakthrough ability is still strong!

Liverpool can still create threats on the scene, but overall they don't have much advantage.

Situ Yunbing supervised the battle with sharp eyes on the sidelines, reminding the players to speed up their running positions and offensive and defensive transitions.

Van Dijk and Koulibaly are still the starting players. When the midfielder Guendouzi was frequently pierced, the two played a key role, constantly resolving the threat from Gent's attack.

The duel in this game is not like the state of Situ Yunbing in Liverpool's usual games. In the past year or so, no matter whether Liverpool's game was difficult or easy, Situ Yunbing spent most of the time just observing the game and making judgments. The situation, adjust the midfield.

But today, he directed the game as if he had returned to three or five years ago, and any trouble could not escape his eyes, and he would give timely adjustment instructions according to the situation on the court!
Although the team's offensive and defensive quality is not as high as that of the main team, everyone's hard work and dedication are unprecedented. Even the spectators will be motivated by the current state of Liverpool!
Before the end of the first half, Mbappe cooperated with Alexander-Arnold to penetrate Gent's wing defense in the frontcourt. After cutting inside to the right rib area of ​​​​the penalty area, Mbappe kicked the ball towards the goal. After hitting the goal, the goalkeeper thought the football would roll out, but what was unexpected was that Sane made a flying tackle and shot the ball into the near corner of the goal!
Liverpool lead by one goal away!
Situ Yunbing raised his arms and shouted from the sidelines!
The Red Army generals on the bench applauded and celebrated the goal, and their eyes became dignified.

During the intermission, Situ Yunbing made meticulous adjustments, and then boosted the morale of the team.

In the second half, the two teams changed sides and fought again. Liverpool's offense became more direct, focusing on the singles abilities of Sane and Mbappe!

The game was still stalemate and fierce. Ghent tried his best and failed to break through the goal of Liverpool. In the 77th minute of the game, Sane's breakthrough from the left created a crisis in Ghent's defense. After he cut the ball from the outside into the penalty area , Many defensive players in Ghent rushed towards him to encircle him, and Sane passed the ball from the gap to the middle of the goal.

Vardy didn't choose to shoot the goal immediately, but stopped the ball and dunked to wipe out the defender who came to block, and then pushed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal!

Situ Yunbing smiled and applauded Vardy's goal, then turned and walked to the coach's bench, letting Lewandowski, Gareth Bale, and Coutinho warm up and prepare to go on stage.

He hadn't made any substitutions before, and now that the game is almost in garbage time, he may have resentment in his heart if he were to switch to other big-name players, but no one dared to show the slightest dissatisfaction in the face of Situ Yunbing's order.

Situ Yunbing replaced Mbappé, Vardy and Guendouzi.

Ghent desperately wanted to score, but Liverpool sealed the victory with 5 minutes before the end of the game!

Gareth Bale, who came off the bench, assisted Sane in the counterattack to complete the goal.

Liverpool beat Gent 3-0 away!

With this victory, it is basically stable to enter the quarterfinals of the Champions League!
When Situ Yunbing was interviewed after the game, the reporter kept asking him why he put Liverpool's big-name players on the bench.

Situ Yunbing smiled and said: "We won a 3:0 victory, which is the most important thing, does it matter who plays?

The team comes first, and everything else comes after.

I am the manager of Liverpool. I am responsible to the board of directors and to all the fans of the Red Army. My task is to lead the team to victory.

In my opinion, Liverpool no longer has the difference between the main force and the substitute. I once said that every player in the first team has its own value!
Whoever can bring victory to Liverpool should be on the pitch, not whoever is more famous, whoever looks stronger should be on the pitch, shouldn't he? "

Situ Yunbing's words caused an uproar after the game!
Fleet Street claimed that "Situ Yunbing is crazy!"

He is lowering the status of most of Liverpool's main players!
The backbone of the locker room will inevitably feel dissatisfied!

But the outside world may have underestimated Situ Yunbing's control over the team.

He does not rule by tyranny!
The players may have opinions on him, but they won't turn against each other.

The Liverpool dressing room has their own interpretation of Situ Yunbing's remarks.

They met for dinner at a local high-end restaurant in Liverpool, and then shared their opinions and expressed their own opinions.

Casemiro said bluntly: "I can feel that BOSS is very disappointed with us, but he can't scold us anymore. Think about it, we all have so many champions, how could he return us?" How about treating a rookie who has just entered the professional arena?"

Kanter nodded: "I agree, although I don't see why he's mad because we didn't beat Sunderland?
We can't keep winning, isn't it normal that we don't win a game or two? "

Lewandowski shook his head and said: "This is not a normal or abnormal problem. Maybe he thinks we are slack, and we no longer have the concentration we used to have!"

Azpilicueta spread his hands: "I think we have entered a period of fatigue, and maybe only the strongest opponent can make us recharged!"

Van Dijk asked with a smile: "What kind of opponent is the strongest opponent?

Real Madrid?They were beaten by us so that they couldn't find the north!

Barcelona?We just proved better than them eight months ago!

But meeting them again will really make us full of fighting spirit, but we are not a La Liga team!
Don't tell me that Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham are our strongest opponents. I forgot when was the last time we lost to them. The point is, have we lost to them? "

Everyone laughed.

Gareth Bell, who has been silent all the time, said: "I don't think BOSS has given up on us, he's just letting us choose.

Listen to what he has to say.

Whoever can play and win the game will be his starter.

Isn't that clear enough?
This has nothing to do with strength, honor, status!
Don't you realize that a great crisis surrounds us?
If Liverpool win every game going on, if we sit on the bench in those games, can you imagine the consequences? "

Gareth Bale's words seemed to freeze the air around him!

Everyone looked at each other, Lewandowski frowned and said: "No way?!"

Gareth Bale sighed softly: "Why not? Is Liverpool not going to win all the time, or are we not going to sit on the bench all the time?
Unfortunately, it is impossible for other coaches to have these two points at the same time, but it happens to be BOSS. Who dares to say that he can't lead the team without us to continue to win and win all the time?
Don't forget that we have all experienced that kind of time, some of them are long ago, like mine was five years ago, and some are relatively recent, one or two years ago, we all came here like this, were cultivated by the BOSS, passed a Bring out every victory!

Among the coaches you know, who has the most courage to reform the team?
You must all have the answer, I think we are thinking of the same person.

Of course, who else could there be besides the BOSS? !
So our crisis is actually in front of us. When we are looking for the strongest opponent, the opponent is actually by our side!

Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham, they are all worth mentioning!
But what about the men who have taken our place on the pitch in the last two games in Liverpool shirts?

Is there an illusion when we are sitting on the bench, as if we have seen it somewhere?
That's who we used to be! "

As soon as Gareth Bale finished speaking, Lewandowski got up and put on his trench coat.

"where are you going?"

Kantor yelled.

Lewandowski said lightly: "Go home and sleep, train tomorrow."

After looking at each other, everyone got up in silence, put on their coats and went home.
