1068 Believe in miracles?
Manchester City's loss to Manchester United at home extinguished the enthusiasm of Fleet Street.
People are looking forward to Manchester City being able to play alongside Manchester United after this round.
As a result, the top two teams in the standings failed to win the derby in the same city.
Looking back at Liverpool's 1 point, it would be a better result.
The problems exposed by Manchester City may be even more fatal. If Guardiola's team had not adjusted during the halftime and could continue to maintain a strong offensive against Manchester United in the second half, then they would not give Manchester United a chance!
Taking offense instead of defense is Manchester City's most powerful feature, but in the final stage of the championship, Guardiola was unable to stand firm. If it weren't for the mentality that became utilitarian, and if he wanted to maintain the advantage of two goals, he would probably not give Manchester United a chance to take advantage of it.
It also makes the outside world worry whether Manchester City can be qualified to face Liverpool with a utilitarian attitude in the final final battle of the season. They still have the opportunity to lead Liverpool in points before the final battle. After all, there are still four rounds of leagues before the final battle, and Manchester City is now just behind and gives Liverpool 3 points!
But perhaps Liverpool will not give Manchester City a last chance to turn the tables. Compared with Liverpool's situation, Manchester City is the side with no way out.
Guardiola expressed his shock at the result after the game. He strongly denied Manchester City's tactical adjustment mistakes and said that the team failed to win the game, which was definitely because of bad luck.
Sterling wasted four golden opportunities in the game and carried Happy Football to the end, which made many fans complain that this British star was the undercover agent Liverpool gave to Manchester City that year, and he would inevitably turn against the water at a critical moment!
No matter what Guardiola feels, there are only the last five rounds left in the Premier League, and the championship is still not over!
In other games in the same round, Arsenal defeated Southampton 3:2 at home. The Emirates Stadium was particularly passionate. Klopp's team is now extra cautious about the Champions League, and the league is adjusting the team's state as much as possible. After the record is reduced, the team's performance is also good, but the team still has some problems that cannot be compensated by adjustments.
Chelsea drew 1-1 with West Ham United at home, and Conte was mostly discouraged, and Chelsea also entered the pace of another match in the coming year early.
Tottenham beat Stoke City 2-1 away, and they are still the main team in the league to compete with Manchester United for the fourth place.
Liverpool, 93 points.
Manchester City, 90 points.
Arsenal, 80 points.
Manchester United, 65 points.
Tottenham, 63 points.
Chelsea, 57 points.
......
The draw in the Merseyside Derby made Liverpool players feel angry. It is undeniable that there must be factors caused by the pressure to compete for the championship, but after Manchester City lost to Manchester United at home, the players have also reduced the pressure a lot.
The team is actively preparing for the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, and Paris Saint-Germain will visit Anfield Stadium.
Liverpool, who had already won a 5:1 lead in the first leg, naturally had the capital to rotate when returning to home in the second leg.
Situ Yunbing did plan to do this.
But this does not mean that Liverpool will face the second leg with a very relaxed attitude.
At the pre-Chapter press conference, Situ Yunbing was asked by Fleet Street reporters: "Do you think Paris Saint-Germain will create a miracle at Anfield Stadium? Is there such a possibility?"
Situ Yunbing said lightly: "Believe in miracles is as great as miracles themselves.
The key is whether Paris Saint-Germain themselves believe that miracles will happen!”
The reporter asked again: "If your team lost 1:5 in the first leg, what kind of mentality will you face it in the second leg?"
Situ Yunbing replied: "Although I never make such assumptions, in order to answer your question, I can simply say it.
Considering that the team has no way out, it is imperative to give it a try in the second round. I know that it is very difficult, the opponent is strong, there are many unfavorable factors in the away game, and we also have to race against the game time. More importantly, this is not a fight for me alone. I need to mobilize everyone in the team, everyone is the same as me. We must have the same beliefs and fighting spirit, and transform motivation into execution and show it in the game.
Maybe you can't do it either, so no matter how hard you work, it will be in vain, but you should try it.
As for football games, there is no matter how you decide the outcome before you finish the game.”
The reporters nodded in agreement and then asked whether Liverpool would rotate.
Situ Yunbing said: "We will have the FA Cup game in a week, and you all know the situation in the league. We will definitely rotate in the current situation, especially this year is the World Cup year. I also hope that Liverpool players can participate in the World Cup in a better physical condition."
There is no problem with giving some news to the opponent before the game. It may make the opponent more fully prepared, but Situ Yunbing always believes that this will definitely mislead the opponent emotionally.
Just like when Liverpool mostly rotates, the opponent will not be overly conservative, which in fact will increase the probability of Liverpool winning the game.
The reporter asked the last question.
"Liverpool should have no problem advancing to the Champions League semi-finals, but if you rotate tomorrow night, then Liverpool's unbeaten home body that has been maintained for many years may be broken by Paris Saint-Germain. Wouldn't you be worried about this?"
Situ Yunbing smiled and said, "I have won many championships and set many records. The unbeaten home game record you mentioned is just one of many records. If I want to defend every record, I think my hair will turn white before I was 35 years old.
It is the most normal thing to win or lose a game. I cannot ask my team to take the result. I hope they can play their potential, strength, and attitude correctly. Then I can accept the final result no matter what it is.
I think it will only be more than worth the loss if I worry too much about a record.
If Liverpool loses the game tomorrow night, I will judge whether we lose unfairly and lose with confidence based on the team's performance, and will not simply be furious about losing or be disappointed and sad about the past record."
After Situ Yunbing finished speaking, he waved to everyone and left the news hall with a smile.
Fleet Street has always admired Situ Yunbing's attitude, which is very real but not utilitarian. It is not surprising that he is the object of worship by the new generation of coaches.
Emery suffered a crisis of trust after his first round defeat. The French media has revealed that he will be dismissed after the end of this season. No matter how many championships he can win in France this season, he will not be able to maintain his coach position!
Last season, Barcelona turned the tables, and it can be said that Paris Saint-Germain was eliminated in a shame.
This season, most of the time, was nailed to the pillar of shame by Liverpool. Paris Saint-Germain's performance in the Champions League under Emery was that it was not supported by the mud.
No matter how many big-name stars they have, they cannot truly change the outside world's positioning and view of Paris Saint-Germain.
They are the on-trading food of wealthy families, and at best they can eat some small fish and shrimp.
Emery still showed his due attitude before the game, saying that the team went to Anfield Stadium to fight for the miracle!
They have no way out!
Some of Paris Saint-Germain's stars actually said that they had experienced a disaster game after losing in the first leg, but they still have a chance and they need to be more prepared in the second leg.
But Liverpool probably won't give them a chance.
On the night of the game day, Siglid appeared in the VIP box with her two children. Situ Yi was held in her arms, while Situ Jin was very excited when she stood in the box.
When he saw Situ Yunbing appear on the sidelines, he would point at Situ Yunbing and shout at Siglid: "Dad, Dad."
Siglid smiled and touched his head, and then asked Situ Jin to look at countless Red Army fans in Anfield's stands to cheer for Situ Yunbing!
Situ Yunbing kissed the ring towards the VIP box, and then waved his hand with a smile.
Siglid picked up Situ Yi and grabbed his little hand and waved gently to Situ Yunbing.
Situ Yunbing then sat in the coach's seat and waited for the start of the game.
Liverpool players in the locker room were preparing to play. As soon as Azpilicueta tied his shoelaces, Griezmann smiled at him and said, "You have to be careful of Neymar today."
Gareth Bell smiled and said, "I guess he will definitely use the rainbow today!"
Henderson whispered: "If he were our player, he would probably have a conflict with Steve and Riccardo in less than a week."
Gerald is now in charge of tactical training, while Moniz has always been in charge of technical training. According to Neymar's characteristics of playing football, Gerald is probably unable to stand Neymar. Moniz has always advocated technical practicality and will inevitably have great conflicts with Neymar.
Van Dijk was about to walk out of the locker room and said in a deep voice: "Stop chatting, don't you understand what the boss's personality is? He can't appear in the boss's team at all.
Let's go and prepare to fight!"
The Red Army generals adjusted their mentality one after another and walked out of the locker room with a slightly excited state.
Liverpool rotates at home today. Situ Yunbing does not think the team's strength has dropped much, but there must be an impact. Emery observed it carefully on the sidelines, as if trying to find the flaws and weaknesses in Liverpool's starting lineup.
Liverpool still starts 433 today.
Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.
Defenders: Azpilicueta, Van Dijk, Benatia, Guerrero.
Midfielder: Henderson, Madison, Casemiro.
Forwards: Gareth Bale, Griezmann, Sancho.
This starter was not expected by the outside world before, because Sancho and Madison started.
It may feel a sense of frustration when it falls into Paris Saint-Germain's eyes.
Chapter completed!
