Four Hundred and Seventieth, the Blue Army Withdraws From the Championship!
Liverpool's strong performance in the Premier League has made Situ Yunbing's job a little easier.
In the first half of the first half of the season, the difficulty of the schedule came from the opponents. All four giants played once, and the difficulty of the second half was due to the devil's schedule in December!
Before that, Situ Yunbing's main job was to make adjustments for the team.
The fifth round of the UEFA Europa League group stage will be played at Anfield in the middle of the week.
Liverpool sit at home against the visiting Youngsters.
Liverpool, who played against the bench lineup, played another wonderful game at Anfield. Vardy scored twice in the game and showed a good state. Mahrez also continued to perform well. The future of the Red Army is really worth looking forward to!
In the end, Liverpool defeated the youngsters 3:1 at home, and after scoring 12 points in this group, they also secured the qualifying places.
After the Europa League match, what followed was to go to Swansea, Wales to usher in the 13th round of the league.
Liverpool had played against Swansea in the League Cup before, and they met again this time. Laudrup's Swansea also performed well in the league, at least the middle ranks look very decent.
Bad news came from the Red Army before the game. Benatia felt muscle discomfort and withdrew from the squad for the game.
Although Eriksson returned from injury and returned to the starting lineup, Enrique will need to return to the starting lineup as soon as next month.
Swansea adopted defensive counterattack tactics very pragmatically at home. After two or three months of running-in, Laudrup's team is still full of combat effectiveness, especially their striker Michu is in a brave state.
In the game, the goals of the two teams were like plum blossoms and bamboos, you come and I can't stop.
But Swansea always took the initiative. Their counterattacks frequently overwhelmed Liverpool's wing defense. Michu scored one and Suarez recovered one.
Ji Chengyong made one, and Suarez got another one back!
Defender Williams scored one, and Gareth Bell chased it back!
Until the stoppage time of the game, the score was already 3:3, and the audience was hooked!
Of course Liverpool are going to fight for the 3 points,
So at the last moment of the game, he still insisted on attacking wildly, but after Mahrez, who came off the bench, was blocked from outside the penalty area, Ki Sung-yong instigated a long pass from the backcourt to counterattack.
After Michu controlled the ball in the frontcourt, he passed the ball to De Guzman, who advanced in the back. The latter dribbled forward and killed Agger's side in a surprise attack, forming a single-handed attack!
On the way Ter Stegen abandoned the goal, De Guzman volleyed the ball into the far corner of the goal!
Swansea fans are in a frenzy!
They beat the Red Army Liverpool!
Situ Yunbing wants to applaud Swansea!
Although they have the advantage of home court in this game, they are still playing defensive counterattacks, but if it is Situ Yunbing, he will do the same.
Liverpool conceded a lot of goals today. In addition to the problem of the back line, although goalkeeper Ter Stegen did not make low-level mistakes, there were very few wonderful saves!
Liverpool suffered their first defeat in the Premier League of the new season!
At the end of the game, Situ Yunbing graciously took the initiative to shake hands with Laudrup and congratulate his team for winning the game.
Even in post-match interviews, he made no secret of his admiration for Swansea.
"We lost, not too bad a result. The game was decided at the last moment. We failed to create a lore, but were lore by our opponent. Swansea deserved the victory. They have always been unswerving in their counter-attack tactics. They played very patiently and showed unity. Liverpool's defensive performance is not good today. We need to improve."
Today's game at least proves that Situ Yunbing's worries when building the team in the summer have become reality.
That is, the central defender combination of Sktel + Agger is not reliable.
That's why he needs Benatia. Since the new season, he hasn't had the opportunity to experiment with the old combination in the past. Today, because Benatia temporarily withdrew from the competition list, Situ Yunbing was able to reactivate this combination. The effect was a bit disastrous.
Liverpool's defense has completely lost its previous poise.
The Reds lost to Swansea, and this result made Fleet Street happy!
Thank God!
Liverpool finally lost!
However, this round of Chelsea and Manchester City staged a strong dialogue, and the two teams ended in a dull draw.
Manchester United won the Queen's Park Rangers at home and continued to approach the top of the list!
Liverpool, 34 points.
Manchester City, 28 points.
Manchester United, 27 points.
Chelsea, 24 points.
In mid-week, the Premier League drove fast, Liverpool went to away games consecutively, and Situ Yunbing led his team to White Hart Lane to challenge Tottenham for the first time.
Tottenham also completed a coaching change in the summer. The young coach Boas, who was defeated at Stamford Bridge last season, took up his new job at White Hart Lane. Before the game, Boas complimented Situ Yunbing.
I think Situ Yunbing is the benchmark that the new generation of coaches cannot surpass!
The benchmark used to be Guardiola, but now it has become Situ Yunbing. The reason is very simple. Guardiola won the Champions League twice in three years, and Situ Yunbing won the Champions League twice in four years.
This kind of achievement is as old as the past, and it is reasonable for Boas to be fascinated. In fact, there are not many coaches who do not envy Situ Yunbing's honor.
Situ Yunbing did not comment on Boas. Boas is not his competitor. According to his age, he will go to the Chinese league to coach in a short time. It is conceivable that his own ambitions are not as grand as he described in European football.
Tottenham is still the same, what is the hope of competing for the fourth, this season and Liverpool's revival, the traditional BIG4 pattern has been broken after the rise of Manchester City, and now it has become a BIG5, Tottenham want to make a difference, it depends on how the owner treats the club.
Once upon a time, Situ Yunbing also considered taking over White Hart Lane, but the "smartness" of the Jewish boss Levi deterred him. He wanted to flex his muscles instead of helping Levi manage the housework.
White Hart Lane, a stadium with a poetic and picturesque name.
But Tottenham's style of play has nothing to do with romanticism. After Modric went to the Bernabeu to realize his dream of being a king in the summer, Tottenham's only half of mountains and rivers disappeared.
Boas was born as an intelligence officer. What he used to do with Mourinho is what Alonzo is doing with Situ Yunbing now.
Therefore, his analysis of opponents is still very accurate. In this duel, he seized the flaws in Liverpool's defense and fought to the death in terms of tactical deployment!
Absolutely don't attack in the middle. Even if you add a defender, you have to let the full-back go to the frontcourt to participate in the attack, so that Carragher and Robertson are beaten very embarrassingly on the defensive line!
Another earth-shattering battle!
In the 14th minute of the game, Suarez made the ball diagonally back from the front of the penalty area. Coutinho followed up and sent the ball into the upper right corner of the goal with a cloud-piercing arrow!
Thirteen minutes later, Kyle Walker sent a cross from the bottom of the right. Defoe caught the opportunity behind the penalty area and shot the ball from a small angle to the near corner of the goal.
1:1.
Before the end of the first half, Casemiro slammed a long shot in front of the penalty area and made goalkeeper Lloris make a save. Gareth Bale followed up with a supplementary shot!
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Liverpool played a strong attack from the right. Mahrez cooperated with Gerrard in the penalty area and knocked the ball diagonally back to the front of the penalty area to assist Coutinho to score again with a long shot!
It seems that Coutinho, who has gradually found his feeling in Liverpool, has begun to thrive!
Just 8 minutes after Liverpool scored, Tottenham's attack from the left was accidentally blasted by Vertonghenne to complete the goal with a world wave!
Liverpool's lead turned into a goal again.
Looking at Vertonghen, Situ Yunbing felt very sad. In fact, the value of Benatia and Vertonghen has shrunk in the past two years, because Monaco's overall record is not good. When Situ Yunbing started a new career in Liverpool, he could choose between Vertonghen and Benatia as a defender, but he chose the latter because Benatia is his hard-core follower!
That's all.
Tottenham had a chance to equalize, but striker Dempsey missed a great opportunity in the penalty area, and Villas-Boas couldn't help covering his face in disbelief on the sidelines.
Tottenham, which failed to change the situation, suffered heavy losses soon. Gareth Bale made consecutive breakthroughs in a long-distance attack from the left. In the end, Kyle Walker gave Liverpool a penalty for a dangerous shovel foul after chasing back into the penalty area.
Gareth Bale is out with an injury.
Fortunately, he was able to walk down by himself and it didn't look serious.
Gareth Bale, who was once considered a catastrophe at Tottenham, handed over a goal and points against his old club for the first time. I am afraid that it is inevitable for Tottenham fans to see this scene bleeding.
Gerrard took the penalty kick and won it overnight.
Liverpool lead Tottenham 4:2 away!
Seeing that the game was less than 20 minutes away, Situ Yunbing took this opportunity to complete two substitutions to strengthen the defense. When Coutinho was off the field, Situ Yunbing took the initiative to hug him, and Coutinho also accepted Situ Yunbing's praise with a smile.
The embrace of the master and apprentice broke the outside world's speculation about the breakdown of their relationship.
After strengthening their defense, Liverpool did not give Tottenham another chance. They also reduced their offensive investment, and finally got the fruits of victory!
After losing to Swansea just four days ago, Liverpool quickly won the game to stop the decline!
The top three in this round of the Premier League all won, but the fourth-placed Chelsea drew with Fulham at home!
At the end of the 8th round of the league, Chelsea's 7 wins and 1 draw are fierce, second only to Liverpool, which has won 8 consecutive victories!
However, starting from the home loss to Manchester United in the 9th round, Chelsea ended the 14th round of the league and has been unbeaten for 6 consecutive rounds, spanning more than a month!
The downturn in the team's state and the drift away from the top of the list made Rogers quickly fall into rumors of getting out of class!
It is doubtful that he will survive Christmas 2012!
Liverpool, 37 points.
Manchester City, 31 points.
Manchester United, 30 points.
Chelsea, 25 points.
The Blues Chelsea are already 12 points behind the leader Liverpool!
It can almost be declared that the Blues have withdrawn from the championship!
