Chapter 673: .673 Seeing Blood

Liverpool played against Swansea at home in midweek and the League Cup 1/8 finals kicked off.
Situ Yunbing carried out a personnel rotation. A team like Swansea certainly does not have much ambition in the league, or even if it pays more, it is difficult to enter the European arena. The local Cup is what they expect to be able to make achievements. battlefield.
Liverpool’s bench lineup is led by captain Gerrard. Although the overall quality of combat at Anfield is not particularly high, the combat effectiveness is still very good. After Vardy wasted a lot of opportunities, he still relied on Sane. The assist completed the goal!
Swansea caught up in the second half and tied the score in the 68th minute. At the end of the game, Liverpool had a shot from outside the penalty area to break through the opponent's goal. Liverpool once again beat the opponent and got a score. Victory!
Don't look at Liverpool's recent game to win a bit difficult, but somehow they won in the end!
This is a very good phenomenon.
After Liverpool advanced to the quarterfinals of the League Cup, Van Dijk returned from injury.
Over the weekend, Liverpool traveled to the northeast of England to challenge Newcastle United.
The cold rain in late autumn was extremely cold. Situ Yunbing stood in the rain and directed the team's game. Van Dijk thought the most stable link, but he showed a very bad state in this game. It seems that he has not returned after his injury. Can immediately return to a better state, but it is Coulibaly's frequent supplementary defense to help Liverpool resolve the danger.
In the cold rain, Liverpool's overall state is not good, especially players like Gareth Bale and Mahrez, who rely on speed or skill, will make more mistakes.
When the game was over, the 1:1 score allowed the two teams to shake hands, and no one was able to rewrite the score in the last 25 minutes.
The weather and venue factors may be an excuse for Liverpool's failure to score all 3 points, but Situ Yunbing still had no qualms about Van Dijk's recovery.
Of course he will not criticize Van Dijk publicly or privately, but will give him more time and game time to recover.
When returning by plane, Situ Yunbing came to Van Dijk's side. The two moved from Hamburg to Liverpool, and the relationship between the master and the apprentice was beyond doubt.
Van Dijk's determination to follow Situ Yunbing's service is also a lesson from the world, so there is no need to say more hypocritical or polite words.
Situ Yunbing sat beside him and whispered, "We are going to play Chelsea at home next weekend. Tell me, can I trust you?"
Van Dijk also knew that his performance at St. James's Park was very bad, and the team's only loss was directly related to his clearance error.
Van Dijk said solemnly with a firm face: "BOSS, I can definitely be trusted."
Situ Yunbing nodded lightly, stood up and left.
He doesn't need Van Dijk to boast about going to the sea, he must do what Chelsea do, but since Van Dijk made a personal guarantee, he trusts his players.
There is no such thing as Van Dijk must give a clear answer. If he has any inconvenience or hesitation, he can be honest with Situ Yunbing. This is how Situ Yunbing communicated with players.
As he said to the players countless times, if you feel unwell and unable to play, just say it as soon as possible. This will not change the player's position in Situ Yunbing's heart, but to better protect the interests of the players and the team. .
In the middle of the week, Liverpool will be a guest expedition to Zenit in St. Petersburg and come back to play Chelsea on the weekend. Although it is at home, it will be a big test for Liverpool.
In the 11th round of the Premier League, Liverpool drew 1:1 with Newcastle United, but Chelsea won the Queen's Park Rangers 2:1 at home. Arsenal beat Burnley 3:0 at home.
The most watched game was held at the Etihad Stadium. Manchester City defeated Manchester United 1-0 with Aguero's lore at home!
Liverpool just narrowed the gap with Chelsea in the last round and fell behind to Chelsea by 3 points again a week later.
In the middle of the week, Liverpool went to Russia, and Situ Yunbing left Gareth Bale, Eriksson and Casemiro in Liverpool this time.
Zenit of St. Petersburg is still second in the group as Monaco drew with Benfica in the previous round.
The current situation is that Liverpool ranks first in the group, 5 points ahead of second place and 6 points third place, so Liverpool has plenty of room for fault tolerance to rotate.
After coming to the home court of Zenit in St. Petersburg, Boas saw Liverpool's starting lineup after his appearance, and his face suddenly became indiscriminate.
He looked at Situ Yunbing who was sitting on the coach's bench calmly, and his heart was filled with unrest!
As if Situ Yunbing showed his contempt to the world!
Liverpool started 433 today.
Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.
Defenders: Arnold, Coulibaly, Scotter, Robertson.
Midfielder: Henderson, Kanter, Gerrard.
Forwards: Mbappé, Vardi, Sane.
There is an Arnold who has just turned 16 and Mbappe, who is just one month away from reaching the age of 16.
Is this contempt for Zenit of St. Petersburg?
Maybe.
This is the UEFA Champions League!
Not the League Cup!
In Russia in the cold, Boas's heart is even colder!
After the start of the game, he ordered the team to attack Liverpool.
But in the 11th minute of the game, Sane almost broke through the opponent's gate with a counterattack opportunity. His single-handed chance was ultimately a shot that hit the plane!
This dangerous situation in front of the door made Zenit of St. Petersburg wake up and dare not to underestimate the enemy and advance!
To play Chelsea this weekend, Situ Yunbing should try his best to ensure that the team is able to cope with the game well in terms of physical fitness and condition. Like key player Azpilicueta sitting on the bench, it is to let him retain his strength on the weekend. Deal with Azar.
Liverpool came to the away game and played defensive counterattacks unswervingly. He did not make any rash moves. If he could score 1 point in the away game, Situ Yunbing would be satisfied.
At the same time he also reached the goal of training Arnold and Mbappé.
The pace of the game was relatively slow, and both teams the fence, making the highlights of the game rare.
Waiting for 55 minutes in the second half of the game, Situ Yunbing replaced Skrtel with Van Dijk, trying to get Van Dijk to recover his form through the game.
I have to say that Premier League matches are now stronger than the Champions League. At least the rivalry between players in the Champions League is not as good as the Premier League. The difference in refereeing standards also allows Liverpool to deal with the Champions League more calmly. On the contrary, the Premier League is obviously. More intense, making it difficult for Liverpool to dominate the game highly.
After 70 minutes of the game, Situ Yunbing replaced Mahrez for Mbappe, who was generally performing today.
After being replaced, Mbappé sat on the bench with a black face, Moniz walked to him when he saw it, and whispered: "Are you angry? If you direct your grievances at the Lord Coach, that's stupid!"
Mbappé shook his head and said to Moniz: "I am angry with myself. The boss told me that I will start today. I also prepared well, but I don’t know why. The feeling that I can’t come out with force, as if there is some force suppressing me invisible."
Moniz said to him earnestly: "This is a normal phenomenon. You don't need to be angry, because you can't change the climate and weather here, and you can't make your opponents and your teammates listen to your commands. Today The pace of the game is slow. The more you want to be fast, it will make you feel uncomfortable. In addition, in this climate, the European giants will have their combat effectiveness reduced by at least 30%. If you don’t believe it, you can go back to them. In the Eastern European game video, see for yourself whether I’m right. The most important thing for you is to feel and sum up the experience of today’s game. This is the reason why the BOSS arranged you in the starting lineup. Look, in terms of mentality, I think Arnold’s performance He is more mature than you. At least today, he looks very calm, and he is quite general in his unhurried appearance.
Of course, if you change to a faster-paced game, you might perform better than him. After all, you two are players in different positions and playing different roles.
He needs 90 minutes of concentrated attention, and you only need less than 10 seconds of flash to decide and rewrite the result. "
Mbappé felt thoughtful when he heard the words, and then nodded slightly, his expression relaxed a lot.
Now everyone can see Mbappe’s talents and abilities, but in this era of highly developed information, no one dares to say that talented players will succeed. Too many talented young talents fall halfway, and finally become unknown. The success rate of the football industry itself is pitiful, and the same is true among the ranks of geniuses. The proportion of those who can eventually become stars is also quite low.
Whether Mbappé is a dragon or a worm, the Liverpool coaching team does not ask about the result, but only silently pays, and carefully cultivated him. It is good to be able to kick out. If they can't kick out, they also have a clear conscience, but they just sighed.
Liverpool’s substitutions are actually more regular. Situ Yunbing does not have high expectations for the game. He values ​​the individual performance of several players more than the results.
Van Dijk's state is restored, Arnold's ability to withstand pressure as a rookie, and Sane's performance.
That's it.
But Boas obviously did not view this game from the perspective of training.
When he waved a big hand to order the team to attack after 75 minutes of the game, he naturally hoped that in the last 15 minutes of the game, he would be able to put pressure on Liverpool to bring a powerful threat.
If such a sneak attack can be successful, then Zenit St. Petersburg can get a victory with all 3 points, and the probability of qualifying to the top 16 of the Champions League will be very high.
Seeing the strong offensive by Zenit in St. Petersburg, Situ Yunbing was energetic, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and muttered to himself: "You don't want to end in a friendly manner. If you want to use a knife, then you must see blood......"
