Chapter 1036: .1036 Great opponent

Situ Yunbing worked hard to become a good husband, a good father, and a good son-in-law. When cherishing the life he had before him, he was also working hard, but he always felt that he was far from enough. He did not have enough time with his family and felt that he had given him Too little, but the wife gave and sacrificed too much.
It's just that his mentality is not as full of urgency and pressure as in the past nine years, and he can relax appropriately, so he can better plan and manage his life circle.
Liverpool rested for a week, then went to Swansea away.
In the 24th round of the league, the Red Army came away to challenge Swansea and they put on a full lineup.
Swansea, who ranked at the bottom of the league, is at a huge risk of relegation this year. Every point at home is a game, but they did not go crazy with Liverpool. They only hope to get one point at home and they will be satisfied.
Liverpool naturally couldn't let them get what they wanted, and Situ Yunbing started to carry out tactical reforms in training starting this week.
When Mbappe used more personal breakthroughs in the game to form a point-to-face effect, Liverpool was still a little uncomfortable at first, but soon in the second half of the game, the attack on the frontcourt played a smooth and flowing effect.
After Mbappé finished breaking through the front right, as long as it caused a chain reaction of the Swansea defense, he quickly played the ball and then moved into the penalty area. Liverpool attacked in the middle to create a threat, and the efficiency improved a lot.
Gareth Bale received Eriksson's pass in the second half and scored in the left rib area of ​​the penalty area to give Liverpool the first city.
Immediately after Robertson's wing responded, he dropped the ball into the right side of the penalty area, and Mbappe flew a header to assist Lewandowski with a volley shot.
Liverpool led by two goals away from home, eventually beating Swansea.
While Liverpool won Swansea, Manchester City also defeated Newcastle United 3-1 at home!
Manchester United beat Burnley with an away goal, and Arsenal defeated Crystal Palace 4-1 at home.
Chelsea slaughtered Brighton with four goals away.
In the first group this round, only Tottenham shook hands with Southampton in a 1:1 draw with Southampton.
Liverpool, 68 points.
Manchester City, 68 points.
Arsenal, 62 points.
Manchester United, 49 points.
Chelsea, 47 points.
Tottenham, 42 points.
According to the current rhythm, this season's Premier League championship is really going to the script of the "hundred-point battle"!
The air battle between Situ Yunbing and Guardiola is in full swing.
There is no war of words between them, but they are all trying to make their team play the most perfect performance to put pressure on each other!
In the middle of the week, Liverpool will be a guest to challenge Bristol City. In the second round of the League Cup semi-finals, Situ Yunbing said in an interview before the game that the team will continue to start the first round. He does not think Bristol City can be at home Turn it over!
Some media overinterpreted Situ Yunbing’s remarks, thinking that he was provoking and trying to anger Bristol City. This made Situ Yunbing feel ridiculous. With Liverpool’s strength and status, it would be a little bit to use the radical method against Bristol City. The child has surrendered.
Coming to the home court of Bristol City, Liverpool is not conservative, but it is definitely tougher than the first round!
As long as Bristol City’s attack passes halftime, Liverpool will be fiercely intercepted.
For Bristol City, they lost 0:1 away in the first leg. In the second leg, they want to make a comeback at home and score at least one goal to have a chance to drag the game into overtime.
But it happened that this goal was as difficult as the sky!
Griezman received a header from Madison in the opening phase of the second half of the game to help Liverpool get ahead on the road.
Liverpool got a two-goal lead in total.
Bristol City is basically gone!
When they launched a full counterattack, a wave of Liverpool's fast break, Griezman assisted Sancho to complete the goal, completely killed the suspense of the game.
Liverpool finally defeated Bristol City 2:0 away and advanced to the League Cup final with a total score of 3:0!
They will play against Arsenal in the final match of the League Cup!
Although Bristol City was eliminated and failed to perform a miracle in the semi-finals, they have achieved great success through the League Cup this year, especially the broadcast income and home ticket income of the semi-finals against Liverpool. It's extremely rich, but there won't be too many regrets.
After the League Cup and the FA Cup, Liverpool's schedule has reached a historical peak!
Fortunately, the FA Cup opponents are not strong. The Red Army is a guest to challenge Petersburg United. Situ Yunbing continues to use the lineup in the League Cup semi-finals to win more time for the main players.
Due to the huge difference in strength, Petersburg United did not have any strength to fight back against Liverpool in the home scene.
Griezmann and Sane blasted the opponent 6 goals!
Griezmann had a big four on the evolution ball, Sane scored twice, and Sancho performed an assist hat trick!
Madison, Gondozi and Guerrero all performed almost perfect in this game.
Liverpool slaughtered Peterborough United at 6:0 away!
Head up to the top 16 of the FA Cup!
At the end of January, before the 25th round of the league, the Melwood Training Base held a small welcome party.
Azpilicueta returned for training!
In fact, he started training about 5 months after the broken leg, but he did not return to the club. Because he could not perform high-intensity training, there was no need to come to the Melwood training base. After a few months of careful recovery training , The intensity continued to increase, Azpilicueta finally returned to the Melwood training base at the end of January 2018 and began to practice with the team!
This is considered officially back to the team.
Every player and coach took the initiative to embrace Azpilicueta. His return is not only a happy event, it will also bring positive stimulation to the team at this time.
Situ Yunbing is of course happy to hear about Azpilicueta's return, but he also understands that Azpilicueta may not be able to take back the main position from Arnold.
On the one hand, Azpilicueta has not played for nearly a year. He needs to resume the game from the reserve team. Secondly, the intensity of the competition in the league is different. In the Champions League, the difficulty is obviously level.
Azpilicueta is just restoring the game and regaining his feelings. I am afraid that for the rest of the season, he can only be Liverpool's substitute at the right back position.
And by next season he will be close to 30 years old, and Arnold's maturity in the process will inevitably make Azpilicueta be forced to the bench!
It can only be said that the broken leg incident allowed Liverpool to complete the update ahead of schedule in the right back position.
As for Azpilicueta, he may have to face the rest of his career with the mentality of exerting his remaining heat.
At the press conference before the 25th round of the league, Situ Yunbing was very happy to announce the return of Azpilicueta to the outside world.
"Every one of us is very excited and happy. Cesar is a strong and brave fighter. He has made great contributions to Liverpool and will continue to fight for the team. He has experienced painful times, but he uses actions to inspire After all of us, he stood up again, and returned to us, fighting with us!
I think he symbolizes the spirit of the Red Army! "
Although the Fleet Street reporters fear that the world will not be chaotic, they also have a certain level of professionalism. They cannot think that Azpilicueta can return to the main team of Liverpool in a short time. Some people even conclude that Azpilicueta is impossible to follow. Arnold took back his main position again.
But Azpilicueta's return is bound to be a good complement to Liverpool's lineup.
Even if Azpilicueta’s impact drops and his physical condition is not as good as before, but his experience, especially his understanding of skills and tactics in the battle with Situ Yun for many years, will definitely allow him to continue to play a role in the Liverpool formation. There is no doubt about it.
Situ Yunbing talked about the championship situation in the league. He smiled and said: "Man City is the biggest surprise of the Premier League this season. Sometimes I can't help thinking, why is it like this?
We actually don't have a lead in the standings? !
This is incredible!
If you tell Ferguson that when the league has played 24 rounds, your team scored more than 65 points, and you are on the top of the list, but there is someone beside you, Ferguson will tell you with a smile: kid, don’t be stupid, then no may!
But the current situation is that Manchester City and Liverpool will be surprised.
We are all thinking: Why hasn't he lost yet? "
The reporters at the scene burst into laughter.
Situ Yunbing went on to say: "I have felt distressed about this. When my wife asked me why I was so unhappy, I said I don't know what else to do to get rid of the competition, but she told me that you have put in all your efforts. , Your opponent is also going all out. Are you satisfied with your current results?
This made me realize that Manchester City had 22 wins and 2 draws, and Liverpool also had 22 wins and 2 draws. This is already the best record in Premier League history. I should be satisfied. As long as I maintain this state and try not to let the record decline, then We will play the best season ever!
But if Manchester City also played their best season, what should I do?
I have thought about this question. This is the charm of competition, and this is also the charm of football. If Liverpool win the championship, I will thank Guardiola. If Manchester City win the championship, I will call to congratulate Guardiola and Manchester City.
People always use how many victories and championships a team has won to define greatness. I have won that greatness many times.
And now this season, Liverpool has a great opponent!
This will make this season even more special and destined to be unforgettable for life!
I will always inspire the team and keep the team motivated and full of enthusiasm for victory.
At the same time, I also want to inspire Manchester City here, and hope that this great opponent can always maintain an excellent state!
A great opponent, a great season. If Liverpool fall behind, it will be a sensation. Wouldn’t it be a pity if Manchester City fall behind? "
