Five Hundred and Eleventh Comeback!
At the award ceremony for winning the League Cup, Situ Yunbing showed great restraint. He was not dismissive of the champion he won, but he really didn't take it to heart.
This is just an appetizer that Liverpool has never had in the past 20 years before its impact this season.
There were also many Liverpool celebrities present at the scene. At this time point, even though some people were dissatisfied with Situ Yunbing in their hearts because Situ Yunbing had reduced the influence of Liverpool celebrities, no matter whether it was superficial or subconscious, they agreed that Situ Yunbing's coaching ability was The most hopeful to lead Liverpool to the first Premier League title, they all came to the scene to watch the ceremony.
The media will say that Liverpool had glory days before Situ Yunbing came, the former five-time champion, the former Champions League champion, but for the Red Army fans, not winning the Premier League title is a pain that makes them unable to lift their heads!
It's about dignity, native England dignity!
Gerrard led the players to win the championship trophy, while Situ Yunbing also continued to win the championship every season, and has never had a coaching record of all four.
After winning the championship, the team was given a day off, and Liverpool then began to prepare for the next game.
In the 28th round of the league, Liverpool challenged Wigan Athletic as a guest, and Situ Yunbing continued to fight with the full main lineup.
Wigan Athletic led by Martinez has been hovering in the relegation zone of the Premier League, but they have made great strides in the FA Cup, which shows that their state is not stable enough.
Liverpool showed strong dominance in the away game. With the maturity of Eriksson and Casemiro, Liverpool's midfield has better protection. Relying on Suarez and Gareth Bale, the comprehensiveness of the offense has expanded to other positions.
Liverpool ran extremely smoothly in this game. Except for Robertson who is still an obvious weakness on the defensive line, players in other positions played very well.
Eriksson, Mahrez, Glenn Johnson, Casemiro.
Wigan Athletic defended Gerrard, Suarez and Gareth Bale, but four other Liverpool players scored a goal each.
Full bloom!
Situ Yunbing was very excited to beat Wigan Athletic 4-0 away.
He said in an interview after the game: "There are only 10 rounds left in the Premier League. We are now able to cope with the game with ease and show our very strong competitive state, which will help us rush to our first league championship!"
Manchester United also won this round, they also defeated Norwich 4:0 at Old Trafford!
Liverpool still lead Manchester United by 8 points.
Liverpool: 73 points.
Manchester United: 65 points.
The two most influential teams in the history of English football have staged another battle for the championship this season!
In the middle of the week, Situ Yunbing led his team to Switzerland to challenge Basel, and the Europa League 1/8 finals came as scheduled.
This time he went away with a substitute lineup instead of the main lineup.
With Tottenham at the weekend, he now needs to keep his league advantage.
Basel's strength has been significantly improved over the years, and sometimes they can play some classics in the Champions League.
Liverpool's performance in the away game was not ideal, and it is an indisputable fact that the defense of the substitute lineup is weak.
Koulibaly made a mistake at the back today and put the team in danger, but goalkeeper Reina performed well.
Basel almost suppressed Liverpool and bombarded them indiscriminately. If it weren't for Reina's outstanding performance, then Liverpool might have been suspensefully ended by their opponents in this round!
In the end, Liverpool lost 0:2 in the away game, and Vardy did not perform magic.
It is not surprising to suffer a defeat. Liverpool has a dense schedule this season, and it is difficult to guarantee an excellent state for the whole time. This is all reasonable.
After this defeat, the media only reported Liverpool's battle report normally, and did not make use of the topic to make use of it, and no famous person came forward to give Situ Yunbing "smart" advice.
Maybe it's not daring, maybe it's waiting for Liverpool to really get into big trouble.
Liverpool sat at home step by step to welcome the challenge of Tottenham.
Tottenham's record so far this season is still in line with expectations, ranking fourth in the league, only 2 points ahead of fourth-placed Chelsea, and 5 points away from third-placed Manchester City.
Overall, Tottenham's goal at this stage is to enter the Champions League.
Boas expressed his respect to Situ Yunbing before the game, and believed that Situ Yunbing had set off a new trend in the Premier League, and he could make Liverpool recover in a short period of time and become stronger than before. This is not something that ordinary coaches can do.
Situ Yunbing didn't say anything to Boas, and he didn't know how long Boas would stay in the Premier League, anyway, he couldn't be called an enemy after all.
Liverpool, who sit at home, performed well in the game with their main lineup, and the problems on Tottenham's back line were infinitely magnified!
Vertonghen performed fairly well, but Michael Dawson was repeatedly played by Suarez in defense, and he couldn't guard Suarez at all in marking!
Suarez's performance in this kind of game has never been disappointing. Today, he used his smart movement to seize the opportunities created by his teammates to stage a hat-trick of goals!
Gareth Bale's bottom ball swept the goal, Eriksson's through ball, Gerrard's long shot was saved and then made a follow-up shot.
Suarez is far ahead of other shooters in the scorer list, obviously he is hitting the European Golden Boot award!
Tottenham were not helpless, Jermaine Defoe helped them score a face-saving goal.
In the end, Liverpool defeated Tottenham 4:1 at home, taking all 3 points!
After the game, Situ Yunbing was reminded by reporters that Manchester United lost points in this round in an interview!
Ferguson led his team to a draw with West Ham United at Upton Park!
In this way, with 9 rounds left in the league, Liverpool leads Manchester United by 10 points!
"It's good news. We have 76 points and Manchester United have 66 points. Our lead makes us look like we can almost win the Premier League title, but I prefer to believe in myself. We don't lose enough with our strength. Points, or even if Manchester United does not lose points, we can win the championship if we get enough points!
People may think that Manchester United is facing a test now, but on the contrary, it is Liverpool who are facing a test! "
Liverpool fans are ecstatic, as if the champion is in sight!
The superiority in the league made Situ Yunbing decide to use the full main lineup in the upcoming Europa League 1/8 final round!
The 0:2 defeat in the first round made it difficult to advance, but Situ Yunbing will fight for it no matter what!
From a positive point of view, the baptism of Liverpool's main lineup in the European war is beneficial to the team in the long run, but the hidden danger is that it may lead to instability in the league's championship efforts.
The outside world knows that Liverpool is about to enter the sprint stage of the championship, everyone knows that the Europa League is not very attractive to Liverpool, and everyone knows what the disadvantage of being two goals behind means.
But this instead aroused Situ Yunbing's fighting spirit. He rarely delivered an inspiring speech before the second round of the Europa League 1/8 final.
In the locker room, everyone was tidy up and ready to play. Situ Yunbing said emotionally: "Our current position seems to be very comfortable. We are 10 points ahead of Manchester United in the league and have already won the League Cup. It seems that we only need to take a step back. , Withdraw from the Europa League, and the Premier League champion will be in hand!
no no no!
The glory of any season requires the players to grit their teeth and work hard!
From now on, you must work hard!
Why?
Because the more you fight, the more you get used to it!
This will become our normal, strong normal!
The Europa League is certainly not as good as the Champions League, but we will play the Champions League next season, is it far away? It's just half a year's time interval!
So tell me, are you ready to go for it? "
The Liverpool generals roared wildly like wild animals: "Get ready!"
Basel came to Anfield naturally wanting to take advantage of the two-goal lead to the extreme.
From the moment the game started, Basel focused on defense.
It's just that what they didn't expect was that Liverpool returned to the home court today and sent the full main lineup to play!
The midfielder with Gerrard, Eriksson and Casemiro as the core firmly controlled the situation on the field, continuously sending shells to the striker.
Gareth Bale's long-range shot was a hair's breadth away, Mahrez's cross in the penalty area almost created an own goal for the Basel defender, and Suarez's header was slightly above the crossbar.
Liverpool's offensive in the first 20 minutes was extremely fierce, and there was danger in front of Basel's goal!
While the Liverpool team was still gradually increasing the pressure, Basel's defense began to show signs of chaos.
In the 33rd minute of the game, Gareth Bale cut the ball in from the left. Many players from the Basel defense line rushed towards him to encircle him. It seemed that only Gareth Bale was in his eyes. At this time, Gareth Bale had the ball Zhisai sent to the bottom line of the wing.
Robertson quickly followed up and sent the ball with a cross before the football rolled out of the bottom line. The football fell into the right rib of the penalty area. Gerrard, who got there in one step, made containment and cover.
After taking off against the falling football, Gerrard rushed to the top and headed the ball into the goal!
Gerrard did not celebrate after scoring a goal, but ran towards the middle circle with his arms raised repeatedly. Both Liverpool fans and Liverpool players were encouraged!
At the critical moment, the captain of the Red Army blew the horn of counterattack!
Situ Yunbing muttered to himself on the sidelines: "There are still two!"
Before the end of the first half, Basel's defensive line, which had already entered a defensive state, shrunk too much. Suarez suddenly retreated to respond to Mahrez's pass. He smashed the ball on the penalty area line and wiped a defensive player before suddenly kicking. Rubbing shot, the football hits the dead corner of the goal!
Liverpool equalized the total score when the half-time break came!
Basel was distraught, but half-time gave them a chance to breathe.
After Situ Yunbing returned to the locker room, he made adjustments to the team. At this time, he could make the team slightly strengthen the defense. This is a routine and safe approach, but he did not. He does not want Liverpool’s offensive sharpness to decrease. , He needs the team to continue to put pressure on the opponent.
In the second half of the game, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Basel began to look for opportunities to try to score away goals. If they can score away goals, their hopes of advancing will be greatly improved!
But when the defense loosened, Liverpool had a better chance.
In the 56th minute of the game, a counterattack by Basel was intercepted in the midfield, and Eriksson immediately passed the ball diagonally to the right side of the front field.
After Mahrez cut the ball inside, he looked for an empty space to send the ball obliquely into the left rib area of the penalty area.
Gareth Bale rushed to the goal and shot the ball. The football went straight to the lower right corner of the goal, and the Basel goalkeeper was powerless!
3:0!
Liverpool led Basel by three goals at home, and the total score has become 3:2!
The Red Army fans in the Anfield stands cheered wildly, but Situ Yunbing still didn't make tactical adjustments after a short thought.
He knew that at this time Basel would become more vulnerable in a panic!
Liverpool should take advantage of the victory to pursue!
His judgment was not wrong!
Basel immediately launched a counterattack, but Liverpool had a better chance to hit the opponent's goal.
In the 65th minute of the game, Johnson launched a fast break from the backcourt to the frontcourt. Gerrard followed up in the middle and then sent a precise oblique pass. Gareth Bale stopped the ball from the side. After the adjustment, he kicked the ball directly.
Suarez ran forward in the anti-offside rush to face the falling football and directly volleyed the ball into the lower left position in the middle of the goal!
Liverpool lead Basel 4-0 at home!
Situ Yunbing raised his fists on the sidelines excitedly, and the entire Basel team felt a little helpless. They watched Liverpool regain their disadvantage step by step, and then reversed them!
Liverpool, who showed their true strength and will to fight them, became very terrifying in their eyes!
The Red Army fans are also ecstatic, they appreciate the team's spirit of not giving up!
Situ Yunbing began to make substitutions. Coutinho, Henderson, and Vardy appeared one after another. Liverpool changed from an extremely aggressive attack to strengthening control of the game and tightening the fence.
Basel tried to counterattack in an all-round way, but they couldn't grasp the initiative and they could only counterattack at best, while Liverpool was ready to contain their counterattack well.
It is a bit regrettable that Vardy missed a single shot. After experiencing rapid progress for most of the season, Vardy seems to have fallen into a bottleneck state and needs a strong breakthrough to improve better.
Situ Yunbing doesn't care about this at all, because from a macro perspective, Vardy's first season, both in terms of performance and growth rate, far exceeded expectations, which is enough.
The growth of players is not absolutely stable, as long as the trend is good, some stages improve quickly, and some stages grow slowly. This is perfectly normal and varies from person to person.
In the end, Liverpool defeated Basel 4:0 at home, achieving a total score of 4:2 and advancing to the quarter-finals of the Europa League!
