Chapter 512: .512 like walking on thin ice!

After Liverpool eliminated Basel 4:2 to advance to the Europa League quarter-finals, anyone can see that Situ Yunbing intends to win the Europa League this season!
It is no longer a question of training or not training. Liverpool has only two fronts left in the season, one in the league and the other in the Europa League!
Liverpool's reversal of Basel is highly praised by the outside world. After all, it is also supporting the face of English football, especially after Real Madrid eliminated Manchester United in the Champions League.
Situ Yunbing led his team step by step, and the final sprint of the season has begun!
In mid-March, Liverpool led his team to challenge Southampton and once again played against Pochettino. Situ Yunbing was very serious about preparing for the game.
But at the home court of Saint Southampton, Pochettino gave Situ Yunbing an unexpected shock!
At present, Liverpool's obvious weakness lies in Robertson. It is logical for Liverpool to strengthen the protection of his side in defense.
But Pochettino did not deliberately attack Robertson in today's confrontation, but let the team attack group focus on assaulting Scotter's defense zone!
15 minutes before the game, Liverpool’s defense was hit twice, and Rich Lambert scored two goals in the Scotter defense zone!
The blitz in Southampton worked very well!
Liverpool is a little bit stunned!
Pochettino really impressed Situ Yunbing!
The attack group of Lallana, Rodriguez, and Lambert shocked Scotter a little dizzy.
Situ Yunbing shook his head slightly on the sidelines. This was indeed a manifestation of Pochettino's wisdom. It was unexpected that Robertson did not fight and instead attacked Scotter.
Liverpool must first stabilize the position, and after Southampton leads by two goals, they will also strengthen their defense.
Pochettino is a pragmatic coach. He doesn't think about expanding the victory at this time, but uses his current lead to patiently wait for opportunities.
Liverpool's offensive investment due to concerns about the defensive line is not too big, and the physical fitness after the midweek battle with Basel is not dominant, especially today they are still playing away.
The next trend of the game was a bit boring. Situ Yunbing actively enriched the team's offensive methods and methods on the sidelines, long shots, breakthroughs, and more systematic cooperation of the team. It can not be said that there is no effect, but the distance is still a little worse Heat.
It is an indisputable fact that Southampton is in good shape today.
When the game came to the second half, Situ Yunbing took the initiative to change, and Coutinho helped the team to instigate a more threatening offensive in the frontcourt.
In the 64th minute of the game, Coutinho responded to Sterling's pass in front of the penalty area with a long shot through Southampton's goal!
Another world wave!
Liverpool's morale was boosted, but at the critical moment of the counterattack wave, Southampton seized a counterattack opportunity and quickly rushed from the right. This time Robertson made a mistake in anticipation, and he rushed to grab but was easily passed down. In the end, Lambert acted as a fulcrum in the penalty area to create a chance for Lallana, who was inserted later, and Lallana set the goal and sent the ball into the goal!
Ter Stegen did not play brilliantly today and his performance fell short of expectations.
Liverpool fell behind by two goals again, and there were less than 15 minutes left in the game.
Pochettino decisively made substitutions to strengthen the defense, just defending, never let Liverpool score again!
Situ Yunbing also deployed troops to try to counterattack and comeback.
But the two teams fell into a fierce stalemate in the last 10 minutes, and in the end no one scored again.
Liverpool was defeated by Saint Annanampton 1:3 away!
Situ Yunbing shook hands with Pochettino after the game. Congratulations on their victory. He must admit that Pochettino performed better than him today and Southampton also performed better than Liverpool!
Only by recognizing this can the same mistake be made next time.
Situ Yunbing praised Southampton in an interview after the game, and then said that with eight rounds left in the league, Liverpool has no room to lose points!
This round of Manchester United against Reading at home, with Rooney's lore, Manchester United scored 3 points 1:0 without any risk.
At the end of 30 league rounds, Liverpool's advantage over Manchester United became 7 points.
Liverpool, 76 points.
Manchester United, 69 points.
...
With the arrival of FIFA match day in March, Situ Yunbing did not give himself a holiday, but continued to devote himself to the work of studying the opponents of the schedule.
In the Europa League quarter-finals, Liverpool’s opponent is Benfica. Liverpool must do better preparations to be able to hope to get the desired result at the least cost.
After the FIFA match day, the Liverpool players returned to the team and challenged Aston Villa as a guest on the weekend. In the middle of next week, they will face Benfica at home. Situ Yunbing performed some rotations in this league for those in the national team. It consumes a lot of rest time for players, and at the same time allows players to and from South America to truce.
Although the opponent Aston Villa is not strong, but because Liverpool have reservations, the game has become relatively difficult.
Although Vardy, Gareth Bale, and Sterling have a strong frontline speed impact, their finishing ability has declined.
Coutinho, Eriksson, and Lucas's midfielder is undoubtedly the offensive organization creativity, but the defense is somewhat unreasonable.
The back line and goalkeeper have not changed much, and they are both standing main players.
Aston Villa's Abang Raho's impact on Robertson can still cause trouble for Liverpool's defense. With Benteke's impact, Liverpool's game was not easy.
The situation is relatively stalemate, the more difficult it is towards the end of the season, because the goals of most teams will be very clear, especially when it comes to relegation or the teams that hit the European seat, it is definitely a tough bone.
Aston Villa is going to relegation!
If there is any advantage for Liverpool today, it is only on the psychological level.
Aston Villa wants to relegation, 3 points is a pursuit, 1 point is not enough to change the status quo, and Liverpool retain their strength today, it can be regarded as giving them a chance.
It is this kind of psychology that Aston Villa did not defend itself at the Villa Park Stadium!
In the 42nd minute of the game, Coutinho made a ball for Eriksson. The latter’s shot from the penalty area was blocked by goalkeeper Guzan, and then Gareth Bale controlled the ball in front of the penalty area and faced multiple players. With the player's encirclement, Gareth Bale shifted the ball to the right in a large area, and Sterling stopped the ball on the right and adjusted it before sending the pass.
Vardy outflanked in front of the goal, grabbed a foot pad and shot the ball into the goal!
Aston Villa will complain that Vardy is offside, but the linesman said nothing.
Liverpool took the lead before the end of the midfield.
Not long after the start of the second half, Aston Villa tied the score with Benteke's header in the set-kick attack!
The game returned to a relatively stalemate stage. Until the 79th minute of the game, Gareth Bale received Coutinho's pass from the center of the penalty area and then calmly pushed the ball from a small angle to the close corner of the goal. , Which helped Liverpool once again lead the score.
Situ Yunbing immediately made substitutions to strengthen defense and control.
Liverpool's defensive level suddenly improved after replacing Gerrard and Casemiro. Aston Villa tried to counterattack but didn't have a strong point, and finally lost to Liverpool 1:2 at home.
After a difficult victory, Situ Yunbing felt relieved.
The current situation is that any loss may cause a turning point in the season. In fact, Situ Yunbing has no retreat!
Because the league is the top priority, once Liverpool in the league is shortened by Manchester United to within 6 points, that is, within two wins, Situ Yunbing will decisively abandon the Europa League!
Do your best to keep the league!
So it is conceivable that if Liverpool drew a tie in the league and Manchester United won, then the points gap between the two teams would only be 5 points!
Now is a critical and sensitive time. Situ Yunbing cannot have any hesitation and be ready to change his strategy decisively at any time according to changes in the situation.
Once he can't keep up with the rhythm, hesitation may ruin the entire season!
Manchester United was also very difficult to win away in this round. They defeated Sunderland 1-0 with Van Persie's lore at Stadium of Light.
Manchester United's recent victories are more pragmatic, some of the scenes do not look good, but there are always people who stand up and seize the sporadic opportunities to completely change the results!
This may be the magic of Manchester United, or it may be their heritage in the Premier League era.
But it is undeniable that Manchester United and Liverpool are now walking on thin ice!
After the 31st round of the league, Liverpool's advantage over Manchester United is still 7 points.
Liverpool, 79 points.
Manchester United, 72 points.
...
7 rounds, 7 points.
There is a 7-point gap for Manchester United to reverse Liverpool. Many media on Fleet Street suggested that Liverpool abandon the Europa League to ensure that it will hit the first Premier League championship in team history with the greatest probability!
This is the same argument as the previous Liverpool celebrities.
Situ Yunbing chose to ignore it.
He has his own plan.
Of course he also knows that if he resolutely abandons the Europa League and goes all-out to the league, as long as he wins the league championship, then this season will be an absolute success!
But whether it is for Liverpool's future construction or because of his 5 years and 13 championship challenges, he must grit his teeth at this time!
The danger lies in the possibility of arrogance, but football competition itself does not have a stable strategy, tactics, competition, etc.
Football has never been a mathematical formula, it is full of uncertainties!
Facing the current situation requires strong will, courage and a clear mind.
Situ Yunbing is not going to fight for the championship on multiple lines, if nothing can be done, he will rein in the cliff!
Now he will not be disturbed by the outside world, and everything will follow his plan.
In the first round of the UEFA Cup quarter-finals in midweek, Liverpool will send a full lineup to face Benfica at Anfield!
