Chapter 899 Run Fast

When Van Dijk started training with the team, Casemiro's injury made Liverpool absolutely uncomfortable. It seems that the team is not only fighting against their competitors, but also fate!
While Liverpool won Bournemouth, Arsenal and Tottenham's north London duo won the league one after another, while Manchester City played against Chelsea at home!

Guardiola's team was caught off guard by Conte's team at home with a defensive counterattack!

1: 3!

Guardiola lost a bit miserably!
After nearly four months passed, Guardiola finally understood the Premier League.

Wanting to win the Premier League is tantamount to going from hell to heaven!
Overcome the thorns and smash the demons!

Manchester United were held to a 1-1 draw by Everton at Goodison Park!

Mourinho's team is completely behind, and even has the embarrassment of a hard-to-find victory recently!

After 14 rounds of the Premier League, Liverpool continues to lead the Premier League standings.

Liverpool, 35 points.

Arsenal, 34 points.

Chelsea, 33 points.

Manchester City, 30 points.

Tottenham, 26 points.

Manchester United, 20 points.

The gap between the top four began to widen, but it might come back in the next round!
Probably the most notable change this season is London Rise!
The difference between Tottenham and last season is not too big, while Chelsea has returned to a strong state. Coupled with Arsenal, the position of the London top three in the standings is very eye-catching.

In the final match of the Champions League group stage, Liverpool challenged Porto as a guest.

As expected by the outside world, Liverpool directly lined up an absolute substitute lineup in the away game!

When they are about to go to the Club World Cup, Liverpool naturally want to avoid any unrealistic consumption.

Porto has also advanced to the top 16 of the Champions League ahead of schedule, but they need to fight for the top spot in the group. Only by winning the top spot in the group will they have a greater chance of advancing to the top 8!

Liverpool, which was sent to the door, fully retained its true strength, and Porto tried its best to attack Liverpool's defense at home.

Liverpool, who played a defensive counterattack, was passive from the beginning of the game. Guendouzi, who has performed well in the past few appearances, is in poor form today under heavy pressure. This allows Porto to open the gap in the defense from him and continue to create opportunities. .

What is gratifying to Situ Yunbing is that Sancho scored a goal through a counterattack before the end of the first half. This is a milestone goal for himself.

However, Liverpool is still 1:2 behind to Porto.

In the second half, Porto became very conservative. They only need one victory, and they will not be insatiable!

Don't even expect to show off in front of the defending champion.

After all, Liverpool still did not come up with an action to reverse the game.

When the game ended, the Porto fans celebrated that they beat Liverpool to get the top spot in the group!

But Situ Yunbing led the team to leave without any negative emotions.

But the European media exploded!
"Gazzetta dello Sport" and "Gazzetta dello Sport" have wailed!
"Napoli and Juventus definitely don't want to meet the defending champion Liverpool in the 1/8 final!"

The Spanish media also exclaimed!

"Liverpool is second in the Champions League round of 16. Barcelona and Atletico Madrid never want to relive the nightmare!"

"Liverpool became the second strongest group in the history of the Champions League! They made the other 6 giants who advanced first in the group tremble!"

Among the eight teams that advanced to the top 8 of the UEFA Champions League, except for Porto and Arsenal due to the avoidance principle of the same league.

The other 6 giants who advanced to the top 16 of the Champions League are not easy!

The German media reported pessimistically: "Dortmund might as well give up the first place in the group to Real Madrid!"

The French media is biased towards Paris Saint-Germain!

"Monaco are top of the group, but they risk facing Liverpool!
Although Paris Saint-Germain is not easy, but the strongest group first, I am afraid it is not as strong as the pressure brought by Liverpool! "

In fact, the reason why Situ Yunbing doesn't care whether the group gets No.1 is also the reason. Even if the top of the group advances, they may meet Paris Saint-Germain or Real Madrid in the 1/8 finals!

In the second place in the group, it is possible to encounter Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid and Juventus.

In the end, it's pretty much the same for everyone, and when the team needs to recharge their batteries, there is no need to give it their all.

Besides, giving young players more playing time and exercising their growth is what he should do.

Back in the league at the weekend, Liverpool host West Ham United.

When West Ham hit Liverpool's defense with a high kick, Benatia and Coulibaly resisted West Ham's aerial bombardment very well!
Henderson replaced the injured Casemiro in the starting lineup. In the game, Eriksson and Robertson took turns sending the ball behind the striker and almost made West Ham United doubtful!
The key is that these three strikers of Liverpool are too fast!

In addition, Mbappe and Sane's ball control and dribbling breakthrough skills are not bad, and they were broken through if they were not paying attention!

Liverpool beat West Ham United 3-0 at home, and there were no twists and turns in the game.

In the 70th minute, when Van Dijk came on to replace Coulibaly, he received applause from the Red Army fans!
As if they had waited too long for this day!
Gareth Bale also started training with the team, which is definitely good news for Liverpool.

It's just not going particularly well.

This season's serious injury has had a great impact on Gareth Bale!

Whether there will be a turning point in his career, Situ Yunbing has to continue to observe, and at the same time, he has always hoped for him, believing that he can return to the top and stage the return of the Great Sage again!

In the same round, Arsenal won Stoke City 3:1 at home, and Klopp's team also continued their extremely strong posture.

Chelsea beat West Bromwich Albion by one goal at home. The state is terrifying. It can be said that they are the most popular team in the Premier League in the past two months!

Manchester United finally won the game, they beat Tottenham by one goal at Old Trafford!
The problem with Tottenham is that every time Pochettino thinks they can step on the opponent's hands to shit and pee, it turns out that he fell into the cesspit instead!

Being beaten by Liverpool at the beginning of the season, Pochettino learned to be smart, but after a few months, he wanted to step on Mourinho. Who made Manchester United's recent league poor like a relegation ball As for the team, but in the end Tottenham was educated by Manchester United.

Leicester City's 4:2 defeat of Manchester City at home is a classic of this round!
Guardiola is a little impatient!
After falling from the leader position, Manchester City's overall state is a bit wrong, and as their gap with the top of the list widens, the team's performance in the game is a bit hysterical, win!
Anyone can see that the Manchester City team's desire to win is too strong!

But after being defeated by Chelsea's defensive counterattack, he didn't learn his lesson. He went to the King Power Stadium and was beaten again by Leicester City!
Failure often brings many internal conflicts to the surface!

The news of Guardiola abandoning Yaya Toure is rampant. In fact, this is not news, but when Manchester City is in a bad situation, Fleet Street will hype the contradictions in those teams!
After 15 league rounds, the positions of the top three teams are very stable, but the teams behind them are faintly about to form a second group.

Liverpool, 38 points.

Arsenal, 37 points.

Chelsea, 36 points.

Manchester City, 30 points.

Tottenham, 26 points.

Manchester United, 23 points.

Liverpool could have postponed the 16th round of the Premier League, but Situ Yunbing proposed to advance the game!

He doesn't want the team to play the devil's schedule non-stop when they return from the Club World Cup, that is almost every 48 hours to play a game!
Liverpool travel to the Riverside Stadium to take on Middlesbrough on Tuesday night, three days after Saturday's league finish.

Although Middlesbrough opposed the FA's approval of Liverpool's application, but on the FA's side, Middlesbrough is naturally a soft-spoken person.

The FA also knows that there is suspicion of speculation in arranging Liverpool's schedule this season!

The Merseyside Derby is after the return of the Club World Cup, and then the penultimate round of the devil's schedule is also the final game of the first half of the season. Liverpool will have a peak match with Manchester City!

No need to think about it, anyone can guess that Liverpool's physical condition at that time was definitely at its limit even if it was not overdrawn!
Therefore, after Liverpool submitted an application, hoping that the league would be held two days earlier, the FA immediately agreed.

Before Liverpool went to the Riverside Stadium, no one knew how huge Liverpool's travel lineup was!
In general games, there are only 18 players in the big list, but Liverpool brought all the players of the first team, plus the coaching staff and the team leader and other staff.

The bus was full of their luggage.

At the Riverside Stadium, Liverpool made a strong attack. From the beginning of the game, Liverpool tried their best to attack!
In the 14th minute of the game, Henderson's supplementary shot in the penalty area opened the scoring for Liverpool.

After he scored, Situ Yunbing quickly gestured to the team players on the sidelines, asking them to adopt defensive counterattack tactics.

The Liverpool generals quickly took orders, erected a fence in front of Middlesbrough, and prepared to counterattack.

Middlesbrough was a little confused.

But when the score fell behind, they had to catch up, but before they could make much effort, Liverpool's counterattack rewrote the score again!
Sane's half-time run widens Liverpool's lead!
Middlesbrough finally understood, Liverpool is to avoid consumption!
Change tactics after a successful attack!

Even if they understand it, it doesn't matter. Liverpool want to play a defensive counterattack. Even if they try their best, they can't break Liverpool's iron wall while protecting the line of defense!

In the end, Liverpool defeated Middlesbrough 2-0 away and took all 3 points!
After the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Situ Yunbing waved to the players from the sidelines, and the Red Army generals quickly left the field, and the swift movements left the audience in a daze!
Liverpool run faster than losers leave the field!
