Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 856 Training for the Finals

The carnival started in the city of Liverpool. Every day, a large number of pedestrians wearing Red Army jerseys can be seen, and at night, groups of people shouted that Liverpool is the champion!

The fans' carnival has begun, but Liverpool's preparations are still going on.

Before the Champions League final, Situ Yunbing will first lead his team to the New Wembley Stadium in London to compete with Crystal Palace for the FA Cup.

Crystal Palace coach Alan Pardew declared that Crystal Palace has a chance to win the championship before this championship showdown!
He can only inspire people in this way, otherwise, under the background of public opinion that the media overwhelmingly believes that they will lose, the team may lose confidence in themselves first!
Situ Yunbing reiterated before the game that Liverpool needs to fight down-to-earth!

May 5, London, the new Wembley Stadium.

There are a lot of vacant seats on the stadium. It is understandable that the FA Cup final was not fully attended. After all, no matter how many Liverpool fans there are, it is impossible to buy the tickets for the Crystal Palace.

The majority of neutral fans think that the viewing of this game may be very average.

After all, Liverpool has three stars who are unable to appear.

Situ Yunbing walked into the stadium and shook hands with Alan Pardue before the game. After some simple greetings, they each walked to the coach command area.

When the starters of the two teams entered the field, Alan Pardue looked a little surprised.

Liverpool did not play Vardy today!
In the past two weeks, Situ Yunbing has been practicing the new technical and tactical system during team training. Although he did not use it in the final game of the league, he intends to see the effect in today's FA Cup final.

Situ Yunbing not only put Vardy on the bench, but even Coutinho failed to start.

Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.

Defenders: Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Koulibaly, Robertson.

Midfield: Kante, Henderson, Eriksen, Casemiro.

Forwards: Mbappe, Sane.

Two young centers are going to be the backbone of the offense!
Pardew is very surprised by Liverpool's starting lineup, but he will also treat it very cautiously!

With the whistle of the referee, the game officially started.

The cheering momentum of the fans of the two teams echoed in the new Wembley Stadium, and the momentum of the Red Army fans obviously overwhelmed the momentum of the Crystal Palace fans.

Liverpool naturally wanted to attack Crystal Palace. After the fast and smooth pass from the midfielder, the two full-backs, Arnold and Robertson, assisted very much, almost playing the position of the wing.

Mbappe and Sane also have a wide range of activities, and almost no one stands dead in the center position.

Although there were some mistakes in the frontcourt pass in the early stage of the game due to the pursuit of speed, as the players got better and better, they cooperated more and more.

Crystal Palace's wide counterattacks focused on hitting the open space behind the Liverpool full-backs.

Kanter and Casemiro will assist in the defense to the wing, covering a wide area.

This requires the two to coordinate their positional relationship. Once Kanter helps defend the side, Casemiro must strengthen the defense against the center. Similarly, when Casemiro helps defend the side, Kanter's position must be closer middle road.

The two have cooperated for many years, and a tacit understanding naturally exists. The most important thing is to have a clear view of the overall situation of the game.

Henderson and Eriksson are mainly responsible for mopping up counter-grabbing and attacking hubs in the midfield, so that Liverpool's offensive and defensive transitions can be smoothly transitioned, and the speed must be fast!
It may be too much pursuit of cooperation. Liverpool did not shoot many shots in the final today. The offense always seemed insufficient in threat and low in creativity in the final pass. Even if they had a chance to shoot, they were still looking for further cooperation.

Situ Yunbing kept these problems in mind, and made adjustments during the intermission.

Crystal Palace did not invest a lot of troops in the counterattack, because although the goal did not appear to be under much threat, the defense was actually a mess.

Sane's flexible breakthrough in the frontcourt, Mbappe's sudden burst of speed, and the two men's running positions that can move forward to form a threat almost as long as the defensive player is not paying attention, all make it difficult for the Crystal Palace defense line to parry.

But what Situ Yunbing observed more was the performance of Arnold and Robertson.

These two almost took over the organization and launch of Liverpool's threatening offensive!

In the 41st minute of the game, after Arnold sent a cross from the bottom of the right, Mbappe failed to grab the front point. The football was cleared by the defender. Crystal Palace wanted to launch a fast break quickly, but Eric Sen completed the steal in the frontcourt, and then immediately passed the ball to the left.

Robertson stopped and launched a continuous attack. He made a 45-degree pass from the side and hoisted the ball into the left rib of the penalty area.

Sane quickly moved forward and stopped the ball beautifully to relieve his pressure. He pulled the ball and turned around to dodge the pressure of the Crystal Palace defender. .

Henderson suddenly hit the ball and volleyed without making adjustments to meet the ball!

The football goes straight to the upper right corner of the goal!
The goalkeeper is helpless!

Liverpool go first!
The Red Army fans in the stands of the new Wembley Stadium roared with excitement.

Although the Crystal Palace fans are disappointed, they have long been awakened.

Crystal Palace, who finally won 15th place in the league, wanted to upset Liverpool, who won the highest points in the history of England's top league. This is more than impossible!

It is simply to subvert the difficulty of the earth!
Situ Yunbing applauded the goal. He was satisfied with the effect of the wing attack, and he was also very satisfied with Sane's calm performance in the penalty area.

Sane knows what role he should play and what contribution he should bring to the team.

And Henderson's shot is also very exciting!

This rebuilt technique and tactics began to give Situ Yunbing some confidence.

Alan Pardew looked depressed.

He figured it out, Situ Yunbing used the Crystal Palace to train soldiers!
Military training does not necessarily mean that training young talents is considered military training.

New skills and tactics, new styles of play, no matter how mature a team is, it needs to be practiced in actual combat.

Obviously, Crystal Palace is the target of Liverpool's training today.

And it's the FA Cup final!

No matter how uncomfortable he felt, there was nothing Alan Pardue could do. The situation was stronger than others, and he had to endure what he had to bear, and he had to grit his teeth and bear it!

Before the end of the first half, Liverpool failed to create another threat.

The two teams entered the locker room.

Situ Yunbing is busy making halftime adjustments. Today's technical and tactical drill is of great significance. It will be used for the Champions League final, so he is much busier than usual at halftime.

The emphasis is on Sane and Mbappe. The greatest power of this set of skills and tactics still needs to create more space for them to play individually!
This means that the two are not role players in the technical and tactical system, and are irreplaceable!
If it is a role player, Coutinho and Vardy can all appear on the stage to replace them, as long as they complete their own tasks.

But obviously that was not the effect Situ Yunbing wanted.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides to fight again, and the scene was still one-sided. At the same time, the threat of Eriksson and Henderson taking turns getting in was increasing. This was because Liverpool made full use of the width of the field.

Robertson and Arnold flew on both wings, constantly creating opportunities in the frontcourt.

In the 57th minute of the game, after Sane, Eriksson and Robertson completed the triangular pass cooperation in the front left area of ​​the penalty area, Sane knocked the ball back to Robertson in the forward drive, and the latter quickly shifted the attack. In the middle, Henderson followed up and passed the ball diagonally to the front right of the penalty area.

Mbappe was not under a lot of defensive pressure at this time, he directly scored the ball into the right side of the penalty area!
When kicking the shot, he made a fake shot and made a real kick to complete the crosscut, and then kicked and shot the far corner of the goal with a fatal blow!
When the football rolled into the lower left corner of the Crystal Palace goal, the Red Army fans were boiling in the stands, and Situ Yunbing smiled.

The team's progress on the court is very fast!

They have a very solid foundation in themselves, and with a little running-in and correction, the players will understand it!
Liverpool's next victory, two goals ahead of Crystal Palace!
The suspense of the game seems to have been killed by Fleet Street before the game, but the real trend does not necessarily mean that Liverpool is strong, but Liverpool is stable!

Crystal Palace played for an hour since the start of the game, and the total number of shots was only 2, and the hit range was 0!

This data will definitely embarrass Crystal Palace!

Liverpool's defensive counterattack is layer upon layer. Mbappe and Sane in the frontcourt may be ignored. When the opponent counterattacks, they mainly harass the backcourt and play the ball. If they can't form a pressing immediately, they can't run wild Return to the backcourt.

However, Arnold and Robertson's direct counter-grab on the wing suppressed to a certain extent the opponent's backcourt support and advancement channel.

There are Henderson and Eriksson in the middle, and the two contact Robertson and Arnold, almost forming a big net in the frontcourt, making Crystal Palace want to fight back, they can only pass long passes!
And even if the long pass passes, it will break through Liverpool's remaining two lines of defense.

Casemiro and Kanter are one line, and the other line is Van Dijk and Coulibaly.

Even though the waist assist defense side will return to the deep zone, but if there is no super personal ability, it is absolutely impossible to take advantage of Kanter and Casemiro.

Situ Yunbing is not quite sure whether such a technical and tactical setup can withstand Real Madrid's offensive impact. After all, Real Madrid's overall strength is strong, and Zidane also has mysterious metaphysics.

But perhaps the current style of play is the best way for Liverpool to play without losing the strong style of the defending champions.

As for Coutinho and Vardy, Situ Yunbing was set as the backup!
In the two rounds of competition, you can start with the king bomb, and shoot out the bullets in one shot. Anyway, it is two rounds, and playing like this at home will always have a good effect!
But it is not necessarily a single-game final. There should always be room for emergencies and different situations.

After leading by two goals, Liverpool showed no signs of retreating. Since it was training, the result was second. The team still has to seize the time to improve their technical and tactical proficiency!
