Chapter 1073: .1073 Departure to Madrid

In Manchester, Guardiola is sitting in the living room at home watching the game live on TV.
FA Cup semi-final, Liverpool VS Southampton.
Even if the competition has no nutrition, Guardiola is still staring at the TV.
No one outside knows that Guardiola has not missed any Liverpool game since entering 2018.
If Manchester City and Liverpool are not playing at the same time, he will watch live TV.
If the two teams play at the same time, he returns home after the game, and he will watch the Liverpool match again as soon as possible.
This is the team that has closely followed his opponents since his coaching career!
none of them!
Because he has been losing, nothing more.
From coaching Barcelona to Bayern Munich, and now Manchester City, he has lost to Situ Yunbing.
This season he drew with Situ Yunbing in the first leg of the league, but that was Manchester City's home court.
It is rare for Manchester to have a good weather today, but his mood is particularly heavy.
Manchester City's opponents in the next two league rounds are West Ham United and Huddersfield. It should be no problem to win these two opponents, but he will not take it lightly.
And Liverpool's opponents in the next two rounds are Stoke City and Chelsea.
Stoke City has a high probability of not being able to snipe Liverpool, but the key lies in Chelsea!
Manchester City are now 3 points behind Liverpool. If they want to have a final match at Anfield, Manchester City must also narrow the points gap.
Without watching the audience or fans of the Premier League this season, it would be difficult to imagine that when Manchester City has 75 goal difference, Liverpool actually has 85 goal difference!
This means that if Liverpool and Manchester City have won the next two league rounds, then Manchester City wants to win only the theoretical level!
Even knowing that the efforts of the past six months may be in vain, Guardiola has not given up the idea of ​​continuing to monitor Liverpool's performance.
He tried to find Liverpool's weaknesses in the details, and to find points where Manchester City could create threats unexpectedly.
He silently prepared for the final decisive battle, maybe it will be a decisive battle that will not appear!
But his faith has never wavered!
......
At Villa Park, when Griezmann scored twice to help Liverpool secure the victory, Situ Yunbing got up from the coaching bench and walked to the sidelines to applaud.
The Red Army fans cheered with excitement, they are going to the New Wembley Stadium again to compete for the championship!
At the end of the game, Liverpool beat Southampton 3-0 at Villa Park.
Southampton can concentrate on relegation, and Liverpool's four-line attack still maintains a strong state.
When Situ Yunbing left the Villa Park stadium in the car, he looked at the darkening sky outside, and there was a glorious sunset in the distance.
Situ Yunbing calculated in his heart that there are 3 rounds left in the league, and there is a final in the FA Cup. If the Champions League only counts as the semi-finals, there will be 2 matches. If the semi-finals pass, there will be another Champions League final!
He coached Liverpool in only 6 or 7 last games!
There is no doubt that the season has entered the final decisive stage!
He was not at all sad, but excited, so he looked at the sunset in the distance with a charming smile.
When he came, he was unknown, and he will go down in history when he goes!
......
The grudge between Liverpool and Real Madrid can be called the Champions League history of European football in the past five years!
With three Champions League finals and two Champions League semi-final encounters, Liverpool seems to have defeated Real Madrid in these years!
This makes many media have begun to give Liverpool and Real Madrid the title of "European Derby!"
Because Liverpool and Real Madrid together won 18 Champions League titles!
9 times for each team!
Can be called the king of Europe!
Liverpool prepared for the Champions League semi-finals step by step. Before going out, Situ Yunbing also studied the recent state and situation of Real Madrid.
To be honest, Real Madrid seems to be going downhill.
Barcelona finished the league four rounds ahead of schedule in the past weekend!
The league title that Real Madrid won last season was robbed by Barcelona this season.
And Real Madrid have lost 6 games in the league this season, and their defense is not ideal.
Barcelona conceded 20 goals in 34 rounds of the league, and Atletico Madrid, second in the league, conceded 18 goals.
What about Real Madrid?
They lost 39!
Averaged more than one goal per game.
This is not a good data.
After the New Year, there was news that Zidane will dismiss get out of class at any time, but with the Champions League all the way through, Zidane's shaky handsome position can still sit more securely, after all, he is a person who is highly regarded by Florentino.
If Zidane wants to continue coaching Real Madrid, then the Champions League this season is his last straw.
On Tuesday evening, Situ Yunbing attended the pre-match press conference as usual before Liverpool was preparing to set off.
European media swarmed in.
When Situ Yunbing, in a suit and leather shoes, walked into the news hall, the reporters all cheered up, ready to ask questions and listen.
After sitting down, Situ Yunbing smiled and waved to everyone, saying: "Today's schedule is a bit tight, so let's make a long story short. Tomorrow night we will challenge Real Madrid at the Bernabéu Stadium. This is the first leg of the Champions League semi-final. What do you have? Question?"
First of all, a reporter asked Situ Yunbing: "You have met Real Madrid in the Champions League many times during your coaching career. Now the Spanish media have recognized that you are not only the nemesis of Real Madrid, but also the nemesis of Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, and even The nemesis of Spanish football, what do you think about this?"
Situ Yunbing laughed and shook his head: "It's a bit too much to say Nemesis, but the team I coach is strong.
I want to point out that people will say that the Premier League team is also very strong in Europe because Liverpool have won the Champions League in the past four years.
Actually I don’t think it’s because when I evaluate the competitiveness of a league team in the European war, I don’t really look at who the champion is. Just like ten years ago, no one denied that the Premier League is strong, but the Premier League team is just In 2005, won the Champions League in 2008, but in those years, at least three of the four Premier League teams will appear in the Champions League quarter-finals, and even regular visitors to the Champions League semi-finals.
This is a strong embodiment of the Premier League.
Now, I think Liverpool is the strongest team in the Premier League, and it also represents the Premier League has achieved good results in the European arena, but to say which league team is more competitive in the Champions League, I think it is La Liga.
In the past few years, La Liga teams have always been able to have at least three teams in the Champions League quarter-finals and at least two teams in the semi-finals.
They are indeed very powerful in this era.
So this is why my team always meets the three strong teams in La Liga, Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid, and Real Madrid.
This is the essence of the Champions League. This is not a stage where there is an upset miracle every day. This is a peak matchup between the strong. After entering the knockout rounds, especially after the quarterfinals, if you want to take one step forward, you must show stronger Strength and more effort.
In this regard, Liverpool and the three strong teams in La Liga are similar. We are both strong and good at playing knockouts.
The situation this year is a little different. Arsenal have also joined the Champions League semi-finals. This may be a signal that the Premier League team has become strong again in Europe. No one knows what will happen in the future. "
Then a reporter asked: "Liverpool and Real Madrid have played against Real Madrid so many times in the past few years, and in key matches, does this mean that Liverpool have a lot of experience in restraining Real Madrid? This is based on your familiarity and understanding of them. Will your preparations become easy?"
Situ Yunbing still shook his head and said with a smile: "I have thoroughly studied Real Madrid's matches in the last two months in the past few days. I think I still don't know much about Real Madrid's technical and tactical style, just like Spain. The media can't define Real Madrid as they are. Sometimes they act very utilitarian, letting people see the shadow of Ancelotti or Mourinho when they are coaching, and sometimes they can play a beautiful teamwork, which makes people think Did Zidane apply magic to this team?
But sometimes this team looks like Ronaldo's team alone.
So you want to ask me if I know Real Madrid?
I do not understand.
As for defeating Real Madrid in the past, it does not mean that we will be able to defeat Real Madrid tomorrow night.
Successful experience?
I think there is no such experience in the football world.
It's like I can't prepare to tell my players how to score goals and absolutely defeat Real Madrid!
What we have to do is to give play to our own characteristics. There will always be a tug-of-war in the competition. In this tug-of-war, can we score goals? God probably doesn't know that Lewandowski may have used a key shot to hit the ball too hard, maybe the turf slipped and the foot was out of control. Anything could happen.
This is exactly the charm of football!
Want to win the game is not relying on the past experience of defeating the opponent, because the opponent is changing, we are also changing, and it depends on the overall state of the game and many uncontrollable factors.
But I have confidence in Liverpool, because we are no worse than Real Madrid on the cards. "
In the end, the reporter asked Situ Yunbing whether there were any uncertainties among the people who went to Liverpool this time.
Situ Yunbing replied frankly: "There is no uncertainty at the moment. We can take our ideal players to Madrid, Spain. As long as there are no accidents before the game, then you should all be able to arrange our starting lineup for me. "
After he said this, the reporters in the audience smiled bitterly at each other.
In recent years, no one dared to predict Situ Yunbing's starting lineup without shame, because he would have some unexpected arrangements in key games from time to time.
The same goes for the Champions League finals in the past four years.
