1073 Expedition to Madrid

Manchester, Guardiola is sitting in the living room of her home watching the game on live TV.

In the FA Cup semi-finals, Liverpool vs. Southampton.

Even though the game was no longer nutritious, Guardiola was still staring at the TV.

No one outside knows that Guardiola has not fallen behind any Liverpool game since entering 2018.

If Manchester City did not play at the same time as Liverpool, he would watch live TV.

If the two teams play at the same time, he will replay and watch the Liverpool game as soon as possible when he returns home after the game.

This is the team that has been closely following and observing his opponents since his coaching career!

None of them!

Because he has been losing, that's all.

From his coaching Barcelona to Bayern Munich, to Manchester City now, he has lost to Situ Yunbing.

This season he drew with Situ Yunbing in the first leg of the league, but that was Manchester City's home court.

Manchester has a rare good weather today, but he is in an extremely heavy mood.

Manchester City's opponents in the next two rounds of the league will be West Ham United and Huddersfield. It should be no problem to win these two opponents, but he will not take it lightly.

Liverpool's next two opponents are Stoke City and Chelsea.

Stoke City is likely to be unable to snipe Liverpool, the key is Chelsea!

Manchester City is now behind and gives Liverpool 3 points. If there is a final battle at Anfield, Manchester City must narrow the points gap.

If there were no audience or fans watching this season's Premier League, it would be hard to imagine that when Manchester City had 75 goals, Liverpool actually had 85 goals!

This means that if Liverpool and Manchester City win both the next two leagues, then there is only a theoretical level for Manchester City to win the championship!

Even though he knew that the efforts of the past six months might have been in vain, Guardiola had never given up on the idea of ​​continuing to track and observe Liverpool's performance.

He tried to find Liverpool's weaknesses in the details and find points where Manchester City could create threats unexpectedly.

He silently prepared for the final decisive battle, maybe it would be a decisive battle that would not happen!

But his beliefs never wavered!

......

At Villa Park Stadium, when Griezmann scored twice to help Liverpool secure the victory, Situ Yunbing stood up from the coach's seat and walked to the sidelines to applaud.

The Reds fans cheered with great excitement that they were about to rush to the New Wembley Stadium again to compete for the championship!

At the end of the game, Liverpool beat Southampton 3-0 at Villa Park Stadium.

Southampton can concentrate on relegation, while Liverpool still maintains a strong state when attacking from the fourth line.

When Situ Yunbing left the Vila Park Stadium in a car, he looked at the sky gradually getting darker outside, and there was a trace of sunset in the distance, which was particularly gorgeous.

Situ Yunbing silently calculated in his mind that there are 3 rounds left in the league, and there is one final in the FA Cup. If the Champions League is only counted as two rounds in the semi-finals, there is only two games. If the semi-finals pass, there will be one Champions League final!

His last match number of Liverpool coaching only 6 or 7 games!

There is no doubt that the season has entered the final stage of the final battle!

He was not sad at all, but excited, so he looked at the sunset in the distance and smiled charmingly.

He came in obscurity, and he would be famous in history when he went there!

......

The grudge between Liverpool and Real Madrid can be regarded as the Champions League history of European football in the past five years!

With three Champions League finals and two Champions League semi-finals, Liverpool seems to have beaten Real Madrid in recent years!

This has led many media to start to give Liverpool and Real Madrid a title of "European Derby!"!

Because Liverpool and Real Madrid have won 18 Champions League titles together!

The two teams each have 9 times!

They can all be called the king of Europe!

Liverpool prepared for the Champions League semi-final step by step. Before going to the battle, Situ Yunbing also studied Real Madrid's recent status and situation.

To be honest, Real Madrid seems to be starting to go downhill.

Barcelona completed the league four rounds ahead of schedule in the past weekend!

Real Madrid won the league championship last season and was stolen by Barcelona again this season.

Real Madrid has lost 6 games in the league this season, and their defense is not ideal.

Barcelona conceded 20 goals in the 34th round of the league, while Atletico Madrid, ranked second in the league, conceded 18 goals.

Where is Real Madrid?

They lost 39!

More than one goal per game are conceded.

This is not a good-looking data.

After the New Year, there is news that Zidane will be dismissed at any time, but with the Champions League all the way, Zidane's shaky coach can still sit safely, after all, he is someone valued by Florentino.

If Zidane wants to continue coaching Real Madrid, then the Champions League this season will be his last life-saving straw.

On Tuesday evening, before Liverpool was preparing to go to war, Situ Yunbing attended the pre-match press conference as usual.

European media flocked to it.

When Situ Yunbing, who was wearing a suit and tie, walked into the news hall, the reporters at the audience cheered up and prepared to ask questions and listen.

After Situ Yunbing sat down, he waved to everyone with a smile and said, "Today's schedule is a bit nervous, so let's talk about it for a long story. We will challenge Real Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium tomorrow night. This is the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals. Do you have any questions?"

First, a reporter asked Situ Yunbing: "In your coaching career, you met Real Madrid in the Champions League many times. Now the Spanish media admit that you are not only the nemesis of Real Madrid, but also the nemesis of Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, and even the nemesis of Spanish football. What do you think about this?"

Situ Yunbing laughed and shook his head and said, "It's a bit too much to say that he is a nemesis, but the team I coach is strong.

I want to make it clear that people will say that Premier League teams are also very strong in the European game because Liverpool won the Champions League title in the past four years.

Actually, I don’t think so, because when I evaluate the competitiveness of a league team in European competitions, I don’t look at who the champion is. Just like in that era ten years ago, no one didn’t admit that the Premier League is strong, but the Premier League team only won the Champions League championship in 2005 and 2008. However, in those years, at least three of the four participating teams in the Premier League will appear in the Champions League quarter-finals, or even regular visitors to the Champions League quarter-finals.

This is a manifestation of the power of the Premier League.

Now, I think Liverpool is the strongest team in the Premier League, and it also means that the Premier League has achieved good results in the European arena. But to say which league team is more competitive in the Champions League, I think it is La Liga.

In the past few years, La Liga teams have always been able to have at least three teams in the Champions League quarter-finals and at least two teams in the semi-finals.

They are indeed very powerful in this era.

So this is why my team always encounters three strong teams in La Liga, Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid, and Real Madrid.

This is the essence of the Champions League. This is not a stage where there are upset miracles every day. This is a peak showdown for the strong. After entering the knockout round, especially after the quarterfinals, if you want to take another step forward, you must show stronger strength and put in more effort.

In this regard, Liverpool and La Liga have similarities. We are all very strong and good at playing knockout matches.

The situation this year is a little different. Arsenal has also joined the Champions League semi-finals. This may be a signal that a Premier League team will become stronger again in Europe, and no one can tell what will happen in the future."

Then a reporter asked: "Liverpool has played against Real Madrid so many times in the past few years, and they have been in key games. Does this mean that Liverpool has a lot of experience in restraining Real Madrid? This will make your preparations easy based on your familiarity and understanding of them?"

Situ Yunbing still shook his head and smiled: "I have fully studied Real Madrid's game in the past few days. I think I still don't know Real Madrid's technical and tactical style until now. Just like the Spanish media cannot define Real Madrid, they sometimes act very utilitarian, allowing people to see the shadow of Ancelotti or Mourinho when coaching, and sometimes they can play beautiful teamwork, making people think that Zidane has imposed magic on this team.

But sometimes this team looks like a team that C Ronaldo is carrying forward alone.

So you want to ask me if I know Real Madrid?

I don't understand.

As for beating Real Madrid in the past, it does not mean that we can also beat Real Madrid tomorrow night.

Successful experience?

I don't think such experience exists in the football world.

Just like I can't prepare to tell my players how to do goals and can absolutely beat Real Madrid!

What we need to do is to give full play to our own characteristics. There will always be a tug-of-war in the competition. In this tug-of-war, can we score a goal? God probably doesn't know that Lewandowski may have used too much force to fly when he shot a key goal. Maybe the turf slipped and the foot caused the foot to lose control. Any situation could happen.

This is exactly the charm of football!

If you want to win a game, it is not about the experience of defeating your opponent in the past, because the opponent is changing, and we are also changing, which depends more on the overall state of the on-the-spot game and many uncontrollable factors.

But I have confidence in Liverpool because we are not worse than Real Madrid in terms of cards.”

Finally, the reporter asked Situ Yunbing whether there were uncertainties in the personnel who went to Liverpool this time.

Situ Yunbing replied frankly: "There is no uncertain factor at present. We can take our ideal players to Madrid, Spain. As long as there is no accident before the game, then you can all arrange our starting lineup for me."

After he said this, the reporters in the audience looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

In recent years, no one dared to predict Situ Yunbing's starting lineup shamelessly, because he would make some unexpected arrangements in key games from time to time.
