Chapter 927 Distress and Guilt

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Situ Yunbing did not see that Naples had made obvious adjustments.

Strengthen the offense?No.

Strengthen defense?nor.

Liverpool did not play as aggressively as in the first half, but began to pay attention to defense. At the same time, they became more cautious in the fast break. Without good opportunities, they would rather pass a few more balls to see if the situation will change. The last pass will only be made when there is a better chance.

The excitement of the game began to decrease, and Liverpool held a three-goal lead, so naturally they were not in a hurry.

But the Naples fans in the stands were depressed. The situation they faced, of course, they had to score goals in the away game to have greater hope of returning to the home court to make a comeback!
If you don't score a goal in the away game and swallow three bombs, it will be difficult to reverse Liverpool at home!
But Naples did not make more efforts to score goals on the field. Insigne's several personal breakthroughs were terminated by Liverpool. Mertens hardly touched the ball today. Hamsik was not defended in the middle. Temper, Callejon was diligent, but to no avail.

If Liverpool's defense is not a top striker, it will be very difficult for the opponent to create opportunities in this level of confrontation.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that if Naples can play an unexpected offensive, then Liverpool's defense will be flawed, but Sarri seems to have no special preparations for the away game today.

Probably he thought that Naples only needed to play a defensive counterattack, and he never thought of taking the initiative to attack Liverpool's defense line in the offensive!
After 45 minutes of the first half, Sarri should clearly understand that if Juventus, the strongest in Serie A, is compared to Liverpool, just in terms of rhythm, Liverpool will completely surpass Juventus by more than one grade.

An academic coach like Sarri, who puts on sportswear and throws it into the campus is a physical education teacher. He believes in his own tactical design. Italian coaches have always been paranoid about tactics, otherwise Lippi and Anche would not appear. Lotti, Capello and other Italian coaches are dissatisfied with the world-recognized big-name stars, and even have a history of contradictions.

Persistence in tactics is one aspect, but if you can't adapt to changes in the environment, then it's not much different from reading books by rote.

This is also the main reason why contemporary Italian coaches have begun to decline and are a bit out of the forefront of the times.

Liverpool's offensive was not as good as in the first half, but it does not mean that they lost the initiative. In the case of constantly attacking Naples' defense with a relatively low success rate, Liverpool can still create threats from time to time.

In the 74th minute of the game, when Sane made a pass from the side and Albiol made a clearance in the penalty area and went to the side, Gareth Bell, who came off the bench, stopped the ball and cooperated with Henderson to hit the wall. A threatening long shot from the right side of the penalty area made the Naples goalkeeper make a save. Vardy followed up with a supplementary shot and sent the ball into the goal!
Liverpool seal the victory!

Anfield echoed with cheers from the Red Army fans!

Then the Red Army fans began to sing for Vardy, extolling his contribution to the team.

Although "from a poor and humble background" became famous too late, Wald has worked hard for Liverpool these years, and he can definitely be called a blue-collar model worker for Liverpool!

Perhaps in this era of Liverpool's glorious dynasty, Vardy's status is not high, and he will not leave a strong mark in history in the future, but in the hearts of Red Army fans, Vardy is an indispensable part of the team !

Situ Yunbing applauded Vardy's goal, feeling happy and gratified from the bottom of his heart.

For the first time in his coaching career, Sarri felt a kind of despair as if the world was pale, without any vitality!
Even if Naples lost to the top teams in Serie A, they definitely played back and forth!

But facing Liverpool on the road, they were completely crushed by their opponents!

This is still when Liverpool midfielder Eriksson is off due to injury!
Liverpool's terrifying strength has revealed a cruel truth: Naples is only playing the role of accompanying the prince to study in the Champions League!

Want to create miracles?
Sorry, it's not a dream that can come true!

Realizing this reality hit Sarri hard, and he shook his head helplessly on the sidelines.

After all, Naples is a head shorter than Juventus in Serie A, and it is only an insignificant supporting role in the European arena.

Liverpool led Naples by four goals, and Situ Yunbing used up the last substitution spot, completely turning the team into defense.

The game enters garbage time.

Situ Yunbing is also rethinking the impact of the lack of Eriksson in the short term in the future and how the team should respond.

When the whistle sounded for the end of the game, Situ Yunbing stood up from the coaching bench. He first hugged Gerrard and the others, thanking the coaching staff for their hard work in the recent period.

The team's ability to remain strong is inseparable from the input of everyone on the coaching staff.

He then walked up to Sarri for a post-match handshake.

In an interview after the game, Situ Yunbing first summarized the game.

"We played very well at home today, continuing our tradition in key games in the Champions League, it's not surprising that a team can play one or two games well, it's nothing unusual, but four years in a row It is phenomenal.

This means that our ambition has not disappeared, and it also means that our strength is still at the top of European football.

It may be immodest to say this, but I don’t like to hide. The whole world knows that Liverpool is recognized as the strongest team. We have won the Champions League for three consecutive years. If we fall, it will definitely cause a sensation in the world.

Therefore, only by maintaining a good performance can we be worthy of the attention of the whole world!

Naples' performance today has no bright spots in my opinion, and they also seem to lack experience in knockout games!
If according to traditional thinking, Naples qualify as the top of the group, it is beneficial for them to go first and then host. They should get a good result in the first round, relying on being conservative and cautious, and then working hard to eliminate their opponents when they return to the home court in the second round.

But this is just a traditional view. In fact, when dealing with different opponents, considering different situations, they should do better.

It's a pity they suffered a painful defeat at Anfield and haven't given Liverpool a threat to make us nervous.

I think if they wait until the next time Liverpool meet them, maybe their performance will improve, but I don't think they have a chance to reach the quarter-finals of this season's Champions League. "

Situ Yunbing showed the aura and confidence of being the head of the European overlord.

Liverpool can no longer keep a low profile. What the Red Army, which has always been on the cusp of the storm, needs is domineering and the confidence to sweep everything!

The premise is that they have this strength, which Situ Yunbing never doubted!

In an interview after the game, Sarri was very disappointed with the fiasco, but also frankly admitted that Liverpool's strength is much higher than that of Naples.

The European media paid more attention to the Liverpool game in the first round of the UEFA Champions League 1/8 finals. Among them, the harsh comments were not as good as a sentence from the "Turin Sports News": Naples was hit by an adult at Anfield like a child. In that way, they lost the chance to advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League!
The second round has not yet been played, but no one thinks that Naples can still advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Probably only their own fans, and definitely a tiny minority.

The only problem that plagued Situ Yunbing after the game was Eriksson who needed to rest for two months due to injury, and Casemiro would not be able to return from injury next month, which meant that Liverpool had only Kanter and Henry in the midfield for about a month. Desen works!

There will be an FA Cup game on the weekend, so the Premier League ceased, and it was rare for Liverpool to have up to 12 days of complete recuperation and adjustment time during the game period during the coaching period of Situ Yunbing.

Situ Yunbing began to practice new tactics during the training period. If it is new, it is not necessarily a subversive change from the previous system, but it is ultimately different in the system.

Vardy has always been a substitute role. In this changed system, Lewandowski and Mbappe will become double center forwards, Gareth Bale and Sane will become double forwards, and the two Also changed the location.

On February 2th, Liverpool ushered in the 25th round of the league and challenged Leicester City as a guest at the King Power Stadium.

Before the game, the media generally believed that Liverpool would use Vardy as the main center forward, and the double center combination with Lewandowski was more threatening in practice in the Champions League.

But when the starting lineup came out, the reporters on Fleet Street were already writing news.

They called on Vardy to leave Liverpool!
Because unless there is really no center forward, Situ Yunbing will push Vardy to the main position!
Before that, Vardy will always be just a substitute!

It is understandable that Fleet Street complained about Vardy's original intention. After all, Vardy is still a member of the Three Lions. If Kane can't play, or when the team needs to play double forwards, Vardy is the best candidate!
When Rooney also began to fade out of the Three Lions' lineup, Vardy's status improved virtually!
Take a look at the strikers of the top six teams in the Premier League. How many native England strikers are there?

Manchester United's Wayne Rooney has announced his withdrawal from the Three Lions after the European Cup.

Rashford is still a winger after all, and Southgate may not have much courage to use the national team stage to transform Rashford into a center forward.

Manchester City's Raheem Sterling, winger.

Chelsea's striker has no main players from England.

Arsenal's strikers do not have the main players from England!

Tottenham's Kane is now the pillar of the Three Lions, while Ali's position is more erratic, and his role is sometimes unclear.

There is only one Vardy here in Liverpool. Maybe Southgate will hope that Situ Yunbing will train Sancho again. That will be the best harvest for the Three Lions!

When Situ Yunbing made the decision to let Lewandowski and Mbappe play double centers, he actually already had the idea of ​​​​hoping for Vardy to transfer in his heart, but he was distressed and guilty, and hoped that Vardy could make some money. A bigger contract, to enjoy the game more, let the world re-recognize his value, which is far higher than what he has shown now, because he can at least carry the striker of a mid-upstream team in the Premier League!
But it's a pity that he couldn't meet the near-perfect requirements for forwards at Liverpool's current level after all!
