Before the game, Pochettino and Tottenham weren't taken seriously. After the game, Situ Yunbing was more concerned about the results of other games.
Unexpectedly, good news came from other games.
Burnley drew Chelsea 1:1 at home!
Arsenal, Manchester United and Manchester City all won in this round.
But at least Liverpool has further opened the gap with second-placed Chelsea.
Liverpool, 64 points.
Chelsea, 58 points.
Arsenal, 54 points.
Manchester City, 52 points.
Tottenham, 49 points.
Manchester United, 47 points.
This 6-point gap has actually begun to become very advantageous to Liverpool with 13 rounds left in the league.
The UEFA Champions League knockouts came, and because they only got second in the group, Liverpool had to play the 1/8 finals first and then away.
Naples, led by Italian coach Sarri, performed well in the Champions League group stage, but there was indeed no strong team that brought them pressure in the group stage. Benfica, Dynamo Kyiv, Besiktas took the first place from this group. It's nothing strange to qualify.
In the first leg of the Champions League 1/8 final, Liverpool played at home against Naples.
Liverpool is waiting for it and ushered in the arrival of Naples at home.
The pre-match press conference was calm and Situ Yunbing had no intention of leading the battle, especially for Naples, which is still recognized as the top team in the European arena. Situ Yunbing was not guilty of being the first-class enemy.
Naples is not really counted.
Especially after they bought the main center Higuain in the summer, the strength of Naples is actually weakened to a certain extent.
Anfield Stadium is soaring!
The Red Army fans have become accustomed to rendering the atmosphere here into the enthusiasm of the devil's home court, and letting opponents come here is like falling into hell!
Situ Yunbing has paid very little attention to Serie A in recent years, because in the eyes of the real giants of European football, no Serie A team can really hit the top of the European stage!
Juventus barely counted as half. With the decline of the Milan duo, Naples always showed signs of rising, but in the end they couldn't even win the Serie A championship, so there is no way to open up the battlefield in Europe.
But Naples does have good players, Hamsik, Mertens, Insigne, Callejon and so on.
Just comparing with Liverpool's lineup, Liverpool's configuration on each line is stronger than Naples, and then combining these advantages, then the gap between the strength of the lineup is very huge!
Liverpool's current hospitality is to start the king!
At the beginning of the game, the rhythm is pulled to the extreme. As long as the opponent can't adapt in a short time, it will be very passive and even dangerous!
The same is true for the first leg of today's Champions League 1/8 final. When Liverpool started bombarding the Naples defense line, and after the attack from the right flared with a murderous threat, Naples instantly became panicked.
Arnold responded quickly, Eriksson was proactive, coupled with Lewandowski's dedication, Mbappe became the target of the attack group's full support, and constantly sent him shells!
In the 4th minute of the game, when Liverpool had just finished playing the right wing and Naples was saved, they succeeded in the midfield. Henderson moved the ball to find Sane on the left in front of the penalty area. The Naples defense line moved quickly and adjusted, but it didn’t. Thinking of Sane's kicking pass and hoisting the ball into the penalty area!
When the Naples defensive line turned back, they suddenly found that Mbappeneche had successfully reversed offside. After the stop was adjusted, the ball was sent to the far corner of the goal from a small angle and low shot!
The offense is murderous, and the final blow is fatal!
Liverpool's style of play has never been sluggish, and it has become more prominent since this stage in 2017!
Mbappé ran along the sidelines and set off a spectacular wave of people in the stands!
When Sarri saw the team lose the ball, he subconsciously wanted to take a cigarette, but he felt uncomfortable when he thought that this was Anfield and the stadium was non-smoking.
The smoker Sarri couldn't help feeling nervous too!
Losing the ball in the first 5 minutes is definitely a very bad sign.
Teams like Naples can still play a speed advantage in Serie A against Milan duo and Juventus Roma Lazio, but wanting to show their speed advantage to the king-level Reds in the European game is tantamount to a dream. !
After all, the speed increase in Naples is only partial, but Liverpool is the overall situation!
Maybe in their eyes Liverpool's performance is simply crazy!
In particular, Liverpool can continue to exert strength and maintain a high rhythm, rather than a phased outbreak!
This kind of endurance to the rhythm and intensity of the game, even if you look at European football, few teams can do it.
After losing the ball, Naples did not rush to equalize and went head-to-head with Liverpool, strengthening the defense and trying to tighten the fence to find opportunities.
After all, this is the UEFA Champions League knockout game. There are two rounds at home and away. There is no need to play with the consciousness of shooting out the bullets in the first round.
But Liverpool, in the eyes of Naples, is instead to establish an absolute advantage to advance to the quarterfinals!
After the lead, Liverpool attacked even more fiercely!
The Red Army fans in the stands were extremely excited. Perhaps Liverpool could not be as strong as the past few seasons this year, but when Sane and Mbappe provoke the mainstays, people saw Liverpool's vitality as a new generation!
Vigorous and murderous!
Situ Yunbing stood on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets, seemingly because there was no emotional ups and downs in the game, but under his majestic expression he was obsessed with the victory of the game!
Liverpool should win, not only to win, but also to fight the opponent's heart!
All these are reflected in the posture of Situ Yunbing!
Otherwise, why be king!
In the 12th minute of the game, Liverpool succeeded in a frantic frontcourt. Hamsik quickly returned to defend and tackled after being intercepted, but before Eriksson fell, he had already sent the ball to Lewandowski's feet. .
Lewandowski moved the ball horizontally and sent it straight out. Sane made a quick cut inward, and even stopped and adjusted the crosscut and broke his foot.
The football hangs straight to the upper right corner of the goal like a cannonball!
Liverpool have another victory at home!
Situ Yunbing stared at the team doctor entering the field to check Erickson's injury.
When the team doctor gestured to Situ Yunbing for a replacement, Situ Yunbing's expression did not change, but he turned to the bench with a heavy pace.
Casemiro will not be able to come back until next month, and now Liverpool is again in the stage of shortcomings.
The Red Army fans also applauded and blessed Eriksen, who was assisted by the team doctor, after celebrating the goal.
I hope he can return to the court soon.
There are few players in the midfield, and Situ Yunbing has no match-ups, so he can only change!
Vardy came on the bench and replaced Eriksson with Situ Yunbing's tactical adjustment instructions. He and Lewandowski played double forwards.
433 became 442.
The roles of Sane and Mbappé also need to change. They can't cut in and get close to the center so frequently, otherwise the system will actually become 424!
It is relatively dangerous.
In the context of a two-goal lead, Situ Yunbing still tried his best to maintain the balance of the team.
Although Liverpool encountered a passive substitution, and the time is very early, but Liverpool is still exerting offensive pressure on Naples after the substitution!
Liverpool’s play style has changed. After the flank hits the opponent, it will try to cross as much as possible. Because there are two centers, Liverpool can either use the cross directly to find the striker to outflank the point, or choose to hit the opponent. Look for ways to cooperate between the centers behind the defense.
Naples' counterattack began to threaten, because Liverpool's defensive and control ability in the middle has declined. At this time, the defense triangle composed of Van Dijk, Coulibaly and Kanter played a huge role!
It has repeatedly stopped Naples' counterattack!
Liverpool's offensive threat is not as good as before, after all, this is not their strongest offensive method.
However, before the end of the first half, Robertson made a 45-degree cross from the front left. Lewandowski contained the defensive force and set a screen for Vardy, who moved forward in the penalty area to complete the anti-offside position. Then he outflanked the right post and shot the ball into the goal!
Earth-shattering cheers broke out at Anfield Stadium!
Vardy also rushed to celebrate excitedly!
Liverpool lead Naples 3:0 at home!
Sarri's face is solemn, maybe he and the Naples fans have the same idea: if the score does not change, it has basically been announced that Naples will be eliminated!
Situ Yunbing applauded on the sidelines and exhaled a deep breath.
Eriksson's injury was definitely unexpected, but fortunately the game was not out of control.
During the intermission, Situ Yunbing reformulated his tactics.
A two-goal lead may not be safe for qualifying for the Champions League quarterfinals, but the advantage of a three-goal lead will definitely increase their hopes for promotion!
The tactics have been reformulated, and the team must be focused!
Situ Yunbing didn't care what kind of adjustment there would be in Naples.
Even if Sarri doesn't understand the Premier League, he will not pay attention to it, but after the first half of the game, he believes that Sarri will have some self-knowledge.
If you want to stand up at Anfield Stadium, you must take huge risks!
The outside world may think that in this contest, Liverpool occupies the commanding heights of strength, so Situ Yunbing will not fully study Naples!
But in fact, Situ Yunbing has done a lot of research on Naples and Surrey. It has always been his professional habit to pay attention to preparation.
Even after a lot of preparation work, it is found that this opponent is not that strong, but the work will still be done very well.
Situ Yunbing may be less excited to fight against Surrey, who is almost rigid and lacks flexibility, but at least he has a good grasp of the overall situation!
