Chapter 766: .766 Enemy Road Narrow

The 2015 International Champions Cup was promoted to three continents in the world, not only in North America, but also in China and Australia.
Liverpool's trip continues to the North American Division, because there are too few teams in other divisions, and there are no strong teams that are difficult to achieve the effect of training.
In the first match, Liverpool came to the beautiful Seattle, and the opponent was Paris Saint-Germain led by Situ Yunbing's old friend Blanco.
In recent years, through numerous signings, Paris Saint-Germain has become the giant of the French Ligue 1. Last season, it completed all the monopoly in domestic competitions, including the French Super Cup, the French League Cup, the French Cup, and the French Ligue 1.
This achievement Situ Yunbing was also completed in Monaco in 2010, and there was one more Champions League champion!
When Situ Yunbing and Blanco met again on the green field five years later, even if it was just a warm-up match, they both seemed very happy, quite the excitement of having met in a foreign country.
The two expressed respect for each other at the press conference before the game.
Blanco claimed that no one would forget the series of records set by Situ Yunbing in Ligue 1. Even if he led Paris Saint-Germain to win the championship, it was still far from the record set by Situ Yunbing in Monaco that year. At that time, Monaco But still the myth of winning the league unbeaten!
Situ Yunbing said that he was not surprised by Blanco's success. Long ago, Blanco showed great strength. He also said that in the two years in Ligue 1, he was very happy to be with Blanco. Bordeaux led each other as opponents, he learned a lot from each other!
When the two met on the sidelines of the stadium, the two enthusiastically embraced each other, then smiled and greeted each other, and finally embraced again before separating.
Both of them are regretful. If this is a contest in the European arena, at least they can sit down and have a drink after the game.
Paris Saint-Germain's lineup is indeed very strong.
There are Ibrahimovic, Di Maria, Cavani on the front line, Pastoré, Thiago Motta, Lucas Jr., Matuidi in the midfield, and Thiago Shih on the back line. Alva leads, and Marchinhos, Maxwell, David Luiz and so on.
In general, Paris Saint-Germain is indeed strong, and it is not weak against European giants.
It's just that they are too strong and they have become very comfortable in Ligue 1. The domestic honor trophy is almost grabbed, and no team can challenge and shake their status.
But in the European arena, due to their strong lineup, it is almost impossible to play the role of a dark horse, because other giants or first-line clubs will not treat them as Chinese food, but will treat them with caution, then Paris Saint-Germain wants to break through history It becomes a little difficult to make achievements in the European arena.
When European giants have high-intensity matches in their respective leagues to squeeze their potential and force them to remain vigilant at all times, Paris Saint-Germain is likely to have a status problem, because no matter how bad their status is, they can win in the league. Victory in any game!
But this is not necessarily true in the top confrontation in Europe.
In the warm-up match in Seattle, Situ Yunbing tried his best to put players in good physical condition on the battlefield, and could face Paris Saint-Germain in the first match, which could better help the Liverpool players enter the pre-season preparation state.
Since it is a warm-up match, the tactics are second. The key is to play out the state. Therefore, the two teams play very unrestrainedly, and the wonderful pictures on the court continue.
Liverpool's midfield defense can't keep up with the rhythm, which is excusable.
After all, in a fast-paced, midfielder's fault tolerance rate is the lowest. A man-marking fails to keep up and almost loses its defensive role.
Ibrahimovic and Cavani scored one after another in the game, and Lewandowski and Mbappe also returned to Liverpool.
When it came to the second half, the brilliant breakthrough of the little Lucas made Coulibaly and Robertson a little bit uncomfortable, but Sane also played the other side's back line to make people shine.
The American audience at the scene was full of joy and only felt that they were still unfulfilled.
In the end, Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain scored a 4:4 score!
Situ Yunbing shook hands with Blanco to make peace.
Although the score was a 4:4 draw, Blanco said meaningfully after the game: "I don't think there is any need to care too much about the result, because this is a warm-up match and both teams are stimulating the team's state. Give the players as much freedom as possible, and it seems that Paris Saint-Germain and the European champions are on par.
But if this is a life-and-death battle, I think the more experienced Liverpool will finally have the last laugh, so Paris Saint-Germain should forget the score, we still need some running-in, and then see what happens in the new season! "
Situ Yunbing defended the back line after the game. He said that it will take some time for the team to gradually regain its strength. At this stage, there is no need to put too much emphasis on the outcome of the game.
In the second game, Liverpool moved to Washington to fight with Benfica.
In this game, Situ Yunbing used many young players.
Like Arnold, Guerrero, Gondozi who was transformed into a left back by him.
Playing Paris Saint-Germain didn't let them play because they were afraid that they would be blown up. If confidence was lost, then it would not be possible to talk about training or not training. They had to give them psychological counseling first.
Benfica is a relatively pragmatic team, especially in the face of European giants.
This contest tested Liverpool's teamwork even more. Fortunately, Coutinho performed well as the front midfielder. Not only did he once again show his ability to shoot through clouds and arrows, he also staged an assist hat trick.
However, Benfica is not without the power to fight back, using the weakness of Liverpool's full-back defensive ability to frequently punch through the wing. At the same time, Gondozi was a little irritable in the game, which is also a major weakness of Liverpool's defense.
Liverpool eventually defeated Benfica 4:3. The win was a win, but it was not satisfactory.
In the third round, Liverpool came to New York, where they competed with the New York Red Bulls in the final group match.
In this game, the Reds played very easily, and they blasted their opponents 5:1 lightly, which really didn't save much face to New York fans.
After entering the knockout round, Situ Yunbing's requirements for the team have become a little high, so they must cheer up and go all out for the game!
Liverpool's opponent in the semifinals is the enemy Barcelona, ​​it is their opponent in the Champions League final last season!
But because many of the main players in the Barcelona team suffered from injuries, Barcelona, ​​who came to North America to participate in the International Champions Cup, was actually disabled.
But the rivalry between the two teams forced the intensity of the game to remain high.
In particular, Situ Yunbing was asked about his relationship with Barcelona coach Enrique in an interview before the game. He responded positively: "I respect my peers, but I am not friends with him."
He told the truth!
But under the contrast between him and Blanco, Barcelona seems to think that Situ Yunbing lacks respect for their coach.
Enrique doesn’t really care. He doesn’t need hypocritical peace. He is hostile to Situ Yunbing. Even if he doesn’t show it in particular, if he insists on saying that the two are friendly, it makes him sick. .
Barcelona is clearly attacking, but it seems to have come to the game with revenge.
Less than 10 minutes into the game, Sane's breakthrough on the wing was astonishing and a dragon blew up Barcelona's oppressive defense line to complete the goal!
The game started to lose control completely at this moment!
Messi is also completely serious and makes Liverpool's defenders turn their backs.
The local fans in Kansas witnessed the Messi-style runaway breakthrough and the goal, which subverted their perception of football!
At least in the Major Leagues, no player can do such a feat!
Liverpool also has a godlike performance. When Mbappe started from the half-time and made a point after three consecutive people, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became unprecedentedly high.
Gareth Bale, who came off the bench in the second half, also used an iconic ball to blast the Barcelona defense and assisted Lewandowski to score easily.
Liverpool defeated Barcelona 5-2 in the end. Although this score is very close to the score in the Champions League final, the content on the field is actually very different.
Liverpool reached the final of the International Champions Cup, and the opponents surprised the American audience a bit, Manchester United!
Liverpool played Manchester United in the International Champions Cup last summer.
Still this year!
It seems that the Premier League team is really serious about the International Champions Cup!
Manchester United bought a lot of people in the summer. Van Gaal seems to be making a comeback, especially now that there may not be many people paying attention to his promoted Rashford, and the attention is still on Manchester United’s new No. 7 Depay and Martial .
However, even though the warm-up game played well, Van Gaal also learned well and did not dare to speak out before the battle with Liverpool.
Because both he and the media have a similar hunch that Manchester United will be taught by Liverpool.
Situ Yunbing naturally has no interest in suppressing Van Gaal. On the contrary, he has some hope that Manchester United can regroup and create some pressure on other giants in the league!
Therefore, at the pre-match press conference, Situ Yun soldiers milked Manchester United.
"Our arch-rival Manchester United performed well in the warm-up match. It looks like their signings are great, especially new players like Martial and Falcao. I believe they can do something in the new season. I think it will be very exciting!"
Situ Yunbing was so polite to Manchester United, the last time it was traced back to Ferguson's reign, whether it was Moyes or Van Gaal later, when they were playing against Liverpool, Situ Yunbing was horrified.
The outside world is speculating about Situ Yunbing's conspiracy.
Situ Yunbing really didn't have any malicious thoughts about this.
The international championship is just a warm-up match, and it is not very kind to be fully fired in the warm-up match.
It's just that Manchester United seems to have been repeatedly ravaged by Liverpool in the past two years, which led to signs of lack of confidence when they faced Liverpool!
