Chapter 911 Ambush, sneak attack, guerrilla!
In the last Premier League game in 2019, the half-time finale of the Premier League, Liverpool's 4:1 home defeat of Manchester City may make other teams at the top of the standings unable to be happy.

Liverpool, 50 points.

Chelsea, 48 points.

Arsenal, 43 points.

Manchester City, 39 points.

Tottenham, 38 points.

Manchester United, 35 points.

Entering 2017, Liverpool can only rest on New Year's Day, January 1, and then go to the Stadium of Light to challenge the black cat Sunderland on the 1nd.

In this round of the league, Situ Yunbing carried out a proper rotation. The consumption of the team was too great.

Sunderland played very passionately at home, with high pressure throughout the whole process and a very fast pace. Liverpool's defensive performance today was not very good. Due to Casemiro's recovery from injury, Kanter took a break, and the weak defense at the midfielder made the defense very passive. Fortunately, Vardy's goal at the last moment helped Liverpool take away 1 point in the away game.

2: 2.
Liverpool failed to win the opponent in the away game. In the same round, Chelsea, who had been strong for a long time, also suffered a defeat. They were defeated by Tottenham 2:0 at White Hart Lane!
Arsenal also suffered a draw in the away game. After 90 minutes of fierce fighting with Bournemouth, they drew 3:3 and shook hands.

The top three in the league all lost points!

Manchester City defeated Burnley 2:1 at home, and Manchester United beat West Ham United with two goals away.

The point difference of the first group has narrowed in this round.

Liverpool, 51 points.

Chelsea, 48 points.

Arsenal, 44 points.

Manchester City, 42 points.

Tottenham, 41 points.

Manchester United, 38 points.

The Premier League Devil’s schedule is over, and Situ Yunbing left for Zurich to attend the FIFA Ballon d’Or Awards Ceremony. Before that, Liverpool’s Champions League knockout draw results were announced. They will play against Naples in the 1/8 finals. It's a good draw, and compared to Barcelona or Atletico Madrid, it's supposed to be a good one.

At the FIFA Ballon d'Or awards ceremony, Liverpool has no players who are the favorites this year, because 2016 is the year of the competition, and Ronaldo, who won the European Cup, has become the favorite to win the award.

Situ Yunbing continued to be the best coach by virtue of the highest achievements of last season, C Ronaldo won the Golden Globe Award, although Gareth Bale entered the top three, but only won No.3, after all, before the selection He has been recovering from injuries for several months, which is very hurtful.

After the FIFA Awards Ceremony, Situ Yunbing returned to Liverpool to lead his team to compete in the FA Cup.

Liverpool sit at home against the low-level team Plymouth.

Needless to say, the team must undergo a large-scale rotation.

The trend of the game was tepid, Liverpool did not perform much better than their opponents, they just created more opportunities than their opponents, and then seized the opportunities as much as possible.

In the end, Liverpool won the opponent 2:0 at home and easily advanced to the next round.

From the end of the last round of the league, Liverpool rested for about 12 days, and then ushered in the 21st game of the league.

This time they will be a guest at Old Trafford to challenge Manchester United, England Derby!
Mourinho's team is doing well recently. During the period from the end of September to the beginning of November last year, Manchester United's record was terrible. This is also the main reason why they fell behind the leader Liverpool by as much as 9 points.

However, after running-in, Mourinho's team has found its state, and at the same time found the trick to victory.

The outside world is speculating on what kind of psychological warfare Situ Yunbing will launch against Mourinho, but in an interview before the game, Situ Yunbing was very friendly to Manchester United.

"If you only look at the record in the past one and a half months, Manchester United is one of the teams that have performed well in the Premier League. What the standings will never tell us is when those lost points happened and what happened in the specific game. Yes. The team's strength problem is still a state problem.

And we hardly refer to the ranking and points in the standings when preparing for the game, unless it brings survival pressure or goal pressure to us or the opponent. For example, some teams may face relegation, and some teams expect to compete for the top four.

From the current point of view, although Manchester United is not perfect, it is almost at its best.

It won't be an easy match, but we will try to get a win at Old Trafford. "

The reporters tried to bring Mourinho into the topic, but Situ Yunbing shook his head and said, "Sorry, I don't have any opinion on Mourinho."

Situ Yunbing has his wars, but not to involve everyone!
Mourinho is currently coaching Manchester United and has not shown signs of threatening Liverpool's dominance.

It might be possible next season, but not much hope for this season.

So there is no need to fight an unjust battle, let Mourinho concentrate on leading Manchester United.

Mourinho was also very low-key before the game. He complimented Situ Yunbing, saying that Situ Yunbing could still let Liverpool sit at the top of the list under difficult circumstances. He admired Situ Yunbing's work.

Speaking of the upcoming English derby, Mourinho said that Manchester United needs to show enough tenacity and fighting spirit in the battle against the top teams!
This is the basis for them to become stronger and cannot be ignored!
On the afternoon of January 1th, the sun was shining, and the popularity of Old Trafford in winter was still hot. After defeating Manchester United last time, Situ Yunbing claimed that Manchester United had become another Mourinho team. Maybe Manchester United fans There will be some dissatisfaction, but Mourinho doesn't care.

When Situ Yunbing entered the field, Mourinho took the initiative to nod to Situ Yunbing, and Situ Yunbing nodded to him.

The starting players of the two teams entered the field, and the deafening cheers made the atmosphere of this English derby hot.

"Good afternoon, viewers and friends, welcome to the 22nd round of the English Premier League where Liverpool visits Old Trafford as a guest to challenge the Red Devils Manchester United in the England derby!
Halfway through the league, although Liverpool topped the list, they failed to widen the gap with the chasing players behind them. Chelsea chased points tightly, and Arsenal and Manchester City were eyeing.

Although Tottenham and Manchester United are a bit behind, the former is 10 points behind and the latter is 13 points behind, but it is not completely without chance.

As Situ Yunbing said before the game, Manchester United has been in a very good state in the past two months, and now it depends on whether they can exert their strength in the second half of the league!

First, let me introduce the starting lineups of both sides.

Manchester United, sitting at home, started today 4231.
Goalkeeper: De Gea.

Defenders: Valencia, Phil Jones, Rojo, Damian.

Midfield: Mkhitaryan, Herrera, Carrick, Pogba, Martial.

Forward: Ibrahimovic.

Liverpool's guest starting today is 433.
Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.

Defenders: Azpilicueta, Van Dijk, Koulibaly, Robertson.

Midfield: Henderson, Eriksen, Kante.

Forwards: Gareth Bale, Mbappe, Sane.

Today, Mbappe served as the center again. It seems that Situ Yunbing intends to let Mbappe transform into a center forward!

Without further ado, let's watch the game together! "

It seems that Manchester United has the desire to put on an offensive posture at home today.

Ibrahimovic, Martial, Mkhitaryan, Pogba, Herrera, Carrick, just the lineup in the frontcourt, no matter how you look at it, it will remind you of various offensive possibilities!
But when the game started, Manchester United basically only had Ibrahimovic and Martial cross the halfway line, and the other players stayed in the middle and backcourt!

Situ Yunbing put his hands in his pockets and smiled slightly on the sidelines. This is really Mourinho's team!

Mourinho is also definitely thick-skinned and calm, many big-name and first-line stars are put on the bus by him like this, without blushing or heartbeat, calm and relaxed!

Give the initiative to Liverpool to attack, and Manchester United will play a defensive counterattack at home!

Compared with Guardiola's style of swearing not to give up when he arrives at someone's door without drawing a knife and seeing blood, Mourinho also digs trenches, lays ambushes and conducts sneak attacks in his own territory, which really lacks a bit of a master's demeanor!

But he is this way, known all over the world.

Manchester United don't want the initiative to control the situation. Liverpool can only have it. Then again, when Situ Yunbing is responsible for the team's victory, why isn't Mourinho?

If the ideal can be eaten as a meal, why should Wenger lose his fame for the rest of his life?
The rhythm of the game has always been tepid. Even if Liverpool wanted to speed up, Manchester United's intensive defense always brought the game to a standstill.

This is the change Mourinho made after summarizing the reasons for the last defeat.

Regardless of whether it can be prevented or not, as long as Liverpool has signs of speeding up, the first tactical foul!
Disrupting Liverpool's rhythm and making the game unable to continue to run smoothly according to Liverpool's desired rhythm, then although Manchester United will be attacked by Liverpool's continuous set-pieces, what they get back is a counterattack opportunity after every successful defense!
Ibrahimovic's role in the frontcourt today is more of a fulcrum. With his tall and strong body, from the center to the wing, as long as the ball flies, he will run there. When he controls the ball, Mkhitaryan Road support, Pogba's central support, if Martial is not the nearest support point, then he has to rush into the running position and wait for his teammates to feed the cake!
Mkhitaryan and Pogba will not dribble forward for too long, especially once they encounter Liverpool defensive players approaching, they will decisively choose to send the ball forward, even if it is a long pass!

Anyway, you can't lose the ball in the midfield area and be countered by Liverpool for a fast break!
Situ Yunbing is really drunk!

Mourinho not only ambushed and attacked him at Old Trafford today, but also played guerrilla warfare!
