461 This is the Premier League

As October begins, the unstoppable Liverpool will also be distracted from the European war.

In the second round of the UEFA Cup group stage, Situ Yunbing led the team to face the visiting Udinese at home.

In this game, Situ Yunbing did not send a substitute lineup, but the main lineup continued to start!

He has enough space to rotate, but at this stage he needs to grab time to run in the team, so it is necessary to properly allow the main lineup to compete in a week.

Anfield was packed and warm.

A banner was hung from the stands on the second floor, with an image of Situ Yunbing's upper body on it, and a line of words behind it.

"Train Liverpool back to the throne!"

This is the bold statement made by Situ Yunbing to the media before the England derby, and is now regarded by Liverpool fans as the team's goal.

This will invisibly enhance the team's confidence and momentum. Whenever the player accidentally sees this sentence during the game, he will know what Liverpool's ambition is!

Even though Udinese has good players like Pastorre and Dinatale, the Serie A team still showed some discomfort when fighting against the fast-paced Liverpool at Anfield.

If the overall fast-paced Premier League teams have an advantage in which top league in European football, then there is no doubt that it is Serie A!

The Ligue 1 is a crushing of the overall strength of the lineup team, while the Serie A is more based on rhythm.

Juventus and Naples are the most ambitious Serie A teams today, but this cannot conceal the overall decline in Serie A is not over yet!

Not to mention teams like Udinese facing Liverpool, teams of the same level may not be able to get out of the disadvantaged situation away from the away game, unless the Premier League team adopts a mediocre attitude towards the Europa League.

Don't doubt the Premier League team's indifference to the Europa League.

Before the reform of the UEFA Cup, the champions would not be qualified for the Champions League next season, and the prize money for this event is also very low. It may be of great appeal to minor league teams, but Premier League teams will focus more energy on the league!

In the past two years, even the English Championship play-offs will be labeled as a "billion-pound battle". It is conceivable how much broadcast fees the teams that survive in the Premier League will receive. Premier League teams do not want to be distracted by the Europa League and reduce their income in Premier League events.

A more intuitive phenomenon is that teams that can rank upstream in the Premier League are more likely to compete for the Champions League qualification in the league, rather than going all out in the UEFA Cup.

Once some teams are in a poor situation in the Premier League, they are even less likely to invest too much in the Europa League.

The bonus for the group stage is almost the same, and no matter how much you have, you won’t be much more.

Situ Yunbing attaches great importance to the Europa League because this stage can train troops, and he has never considered the issue of bonuses at all.

For Liverpool, which spends hundreds of millions of pounds a year, even if they win the championship, it is just a drop in the bucket.

While adhering to their own style, they also face more opponents with certain strength bases in different styles, which is also a key part of Liverpool's growth.

For example, the young opponents in the first round of the Europa League group stage are not good. It is not that the style is similar, but that they are not strong enough. If Liverpool makes its main lineup, it will directly crush the opponent and gain little experience.

Udinese was originally very aggressive at Anfield, but as Coutinho and Gareth Bale scored one after another, they honestly retreated to tighten the fence and fought against the typical Italian defensive counterattack.

Unlike the current mainstream counterattacks, they pursue speed more. Serie A teams have always had unique and rich displays in tactics, so even for clichéd defensive counterattacks, they can play some tricks, such as controlling the rhythm, changing the speed and slow organizational links, and then inserting the players' unexpected attacks.

Casemiro performed a little badly in this situation because it requires more experience to judge the development of the situation and a better perspective to have a more detailed understanding of the overall situation.

The old demon Dinatale helped Udinese score a goal before the end of the first half, and it seemed that the game was still very suspenseful.

During the intermission, Situ Yunbing's requirement for the team was to be more delicate and patient in the cooperation between positional battles.

In the league a few days ago, they used long-range bombing to kill Norwich, but today Situ Yunbing deliberately lowered the team's long-range shots and required the team to break through ground passes and cuts in positional battles, passing and running to cooperate to tear the opponent's defense.

If you are really used to using long shots to break dense defense, this is not a good trend, and it is easy to reduce the team's creativity and vitality.

The cooperation between Coutinho and Eriksen in the midfield gradually made Liverpool rejuvenate in positional battles, especially when the full-backs also began to become active.

Liverpool tear the opponent's defense through the combined attacks between the sides and the middle, and then uses exquisite direct passes to deliver a penetrating threat ball.

Gerald has been active on the offensive end since the new season. Situ Yunbing's tactical requirements today also made him feel as if he was in a hurry. He frequently rushed forward and responded to his teammate's passes and formed an unexpected offensive point, making Udinese's defense line unbearable.

The Reds captain's performance of one pass and one shot in the second half won him a lot of applause, and also helped Liverpool defeat Udinese 4-1 at home.

In the Europa League group stage, Situ Yunbing led the team to win two consecutive victories, and the situation of qualifying was very good.

Liverpool has won 13 consecutive victories in various competitions in the new season, and Situ Yunbing's team exudes a terrifying atmosphere.

At the pre-match press conference before the weekend league, Stoke City coach Tony Price made a bold statement and declared war on Liverpool!

"Liverpool has made some changes, they are constantly winning by superstars, but in my opinion, their midfield is much weaker than before, and we will focus on using this to block Liverpool's winning streak!"

Pris has his ambitions, and I don’t know if he is taking advantage of Liverpool’s popularity. Anyway, Situ Yunbing ignored it and just responded before the game: “I also look forward to Stoke City having a good performance and giving the fans a wonderful game. If Liverpool fails to win the game in the end, it must be that we have a problem ourselves. I think this is a good thing, which will make me discover the team’s problems and improve the team’s performance!”

Situ Yunbing seemed to be only interested in those famous coaches who were famous in the world, and deliberately kept a distance from some coaches with mediocre coaches, neither joining them nor wanting to be enemies with them.

But Liverpool fans don't think so. They are very disgusted with Pris' remarks, probably because they think the other party is a little arrogant.

Anfield, in the 7th round of the Premier League, Liverpool played against Stoke City at home.

The Reds Liverpool team has all the elite players, and the main team is playing this league. It also hopes to keep the golden body of the league's winning streak when the October Fifa match day comes.

Stoke City may be the most typical and traditional British team in the Premier League today.

In China, some fans call them "City of the Sky".

Because Stoke City is completely high and pays great attention to physical confrontation, almost every position in the team is a tough guy character, who can fight and run, and then plays the rushing offense to the extreme!

When Liverpool plays such a team, the only problem is confrontation!

Tony Prius enjoyed the contemptuous booing from Liverpool fans. He had to pay the price for his words and deeds, which must be enlightened before he spoke.

In fact, Tony Pulis also hopes to provoke the generals to see if Situ Yunbing will fall into the trap.

Stoke City is not absolutely sure to score 3 points at Anfield, and even take 1 point away, which is pessimistic. However, if Stu Yunbing ordered Liverpool to attack wildly, Stoke City might have the chance to take 1 point or even 3 points away through counterattacks!

Just as Ferguson has enough confidence and capital to mock Situ Yunbing for using the media, he plays the rest of the rest. Situ Yunbing's current status and height will be furious about Tony Pulis' remarks, then he will be back as he lives.

Liverpool played steadily at home and had an advantage on the court, but Stoke City players were constantly interrupting the game through rough fouls!

Pris was aggressive before the game, and Stoke City players were also aggressive on the court!

Once they annoy Liverpool players, they might be able to continue to deal with Liverpool players.

Situ Yunbing frequently protested to the fourth official against the referee's loose judgment standard, but this caused him to warn the referee.

The bad scene happened in the 39th minute of the game. Gareth Bale was thrown from the back by Liverpool's former player Charlie Adam from the back. Although Gareth Bale stood up, he felt muscle discomfort and could only be forced to get out.

Situ Yunbing replaced him with Coutinho.

The Reds fans at Anfield Stadium gave Charlie Adam the most harsh booing.

Perhaps because of the wounded, the referee finally began to tighten the penalty.

Until the 60th minute of the second half, as many as 7 players in Stoke City had already been carrying yellow cards, while Liverpool paid the price of Gareth Bale and Eriksen's injury.

Perhaps because there are many players with yellow cards, Stoke City players' movements in the confrontation have been restrained, which has made Liverpool's creativity in positional battles begin to threaten, at least the game has been much smoother.

Henderson replaced Erikson and was very determined to fight after appearing, and he was able to gain an advantage in the confrontation, and he also performed well when connecting to the midfield.

In the 67th minute of the game, Liverpool's continuous offense was effective. Suarez's shot after receiving a wonderful pass from Coutinho in the penalty area was saved by goalkeeper Begovic. Gerrard controlled the ball outside the penalty area and was surrounded by opponents. He quickly knocked the ball across the right side of the penalty area. Henderson, who was striding in the meteor, rushed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal!

Liverpool finally broke the deadlock at home!

Priss' expression was a little disappointed.

Stoke City's tactics failed. They always wanted to anger Liverpool, but none of them succeeded.

After scoring the goal, Liverpool's performance became more calm. Situ Yunbing used the last substitution in the 70th minute of the game.

Sterling took the field to replace Gerald, and Liverpool began to shrink the front and fight back.

It is more important to maintain victory than to take risks and expand the victory!

Stoke City's counterattack still put some pressure on Liverpool. Crouch's two shots almost penetrated Ter Stegen's fingers.

In the 83rd minute of the game, Sterling quickly inserted a long pass from the side to receive Coutinho's diagonal pass, and then rushed to the front of the penalty area of ​​Stoke City. He collided with Suarez and then cut into the penalty area to form a one-on-one goal. His volleyball seemed to be just a blind shot!

But the victory was due to the fast speed of the ball, and the football flew straight to the lower left in the middle of the goal. Begovic subconsciously saved the ball and failed to touch the football!

Two substitutes, Henderson and Sterling, scored a victory for Liverpool.

Although he won the game, Situ Yunbing couldn't be happy. He still shook hands with Pris with a graceful look.

Then he went to learn about the injuries of Gareth Bell and Eriksen.

When interviewing after the game, people will naturally pay attention to the injuries of these two players.

Situ Yunbing said in a natural tone: "This is the Premier League. How could it be that there is no player injured?

The good news is that Bell only needs a week to recuperate, and the bad news is that Eriksen needs at least four weeks of recovery time.”

This is already a relatively good result.
