As Christmas approaches, cities across the UK have entered the rhythm of preparing for Christmas. Pedestrians are everywhere on the roads, department stores are crowded, and every family is shopping for goods, which is a bit similar to the Chinese people buying New Year’s goods before the Spring Festival.
Situ Yunbing is a little uncomfortable with this rhythm of life. In the past four years, whether in France or Germany, he has been able to spend a Christmas holiday happily, but in the UK, he still has to lead the team to fight.
Two days before the weekend's game day, Situ Yunbing sent a text message to Siglid, and he was a little difficult to say about being unable to accompany her during the Christmas holiday.
His boyfriend is becoming less and less caring and considerate, and even cuts down on time to spend with him during the holidays.
At this moment, Situ Yunbing could understand what it feels like to "use more time to accompany his family" when he retires.
Perhaps to outsiders, football coaches are just office workers from 9 to 5, but that is just for ordinary coaches. Teams coached like famous coaches have European games and have many championships for many years. Each season's holiday is only one month in summer, and once it involves transfers, the summer may be very busy.
Going away games on weekdays is like a short trip. If there is a European game away game, you have to go on a long trip.
Game days are often on weekends, and it is almost impossible to have time to spend with your family on weekends.
This made Situ Yunbing feel guilty and began to seriously think about the balance between career and life.
The morning after Situ Yunbing sent a text message to Siglid, he was woken up by the doorbell. He was sleepy in his pajamas and thought it was the staff of the Hilton Hotel who came to disturb him unknowingly, but when he opened the door, he was shocked!
"A surprise?!"
What caught my eye was Siglid wearing a snow-white coat, with a smile on his face, and her smiling parents stood behind her.
Situ Yunbing was hugged by Siglid and suddenly failed to react.
The future father-in-law gave Situ Yunbing a "critical strike" at this time!
"Looking at his expression, it seems that there is someone in the bedroom."
The future mother-in-law also has very inauthentic assists.
"Maybe more than one."
Situ Yunbing was amused and cried, and shouted to the bedroom: "Hey, hide it quickly! Don't be caught! Leap the window as fast as possible!"
Siglid laughed and said, "This is more than 20 floors tall. If you jump down, you won't die? Besides, it's so cold outside, and the window will be exposed soon after it is opened?"
Situ Yunbing quipped: "Your analysis makes sense, Detective Siglid Sherlock."
After laughing and making fun, Situ Yunbing called the hotel and asked for breakfast for four people, and then he made tea in the tea room.
Siglider and her parents came to Liverpool this time to spend Christmas with Situ Yunbing. Perhaps it was because they were boring to stay in France, so it would be better to come to the UK for a trip.
Situ Yunbing was naturally moved and treated her warmly. He drove another room in the hotel for Siglid's parents and bought a comfortable SUV for them to travel. Situ Yunbing now parked two cars in the hotel, one for them to use for transportation on weekdays and the other for sports cars, which are not suitable for them to use.
Last weekend, Casemiro was sent off by a red card in the league and had to be suspended for three games according to the Premier League regulations. However, the suspension of the Premier League is applicable to all domestic games, which means that the midweek League Cup has been suspended for one game. After the League Cup, Liverpool chose to appeal at the last minute of the suspension appeal deadline. Before the hearing, Casemiro can continue to play for Liverpool. Even if the appeal fails, it only needs to be suspended for two more games. Considering that the Christmas Devil schedule will inevitably be rotated, Situ Yunbing wants to postpone the adjustment space until the Christmas Devil schedule.
Situ Yunbing was in a good mood and complimented Aston Villa coach Paul Lambert at the pre-match press conference in the weekend league, which made Fleet Street reporters unable to help but look at Paul Lambert.
You should know that Situ Yunbing has always treated the commander of a wealthy family without any rudeness, and Situ Yunbing is not petty, but he will definitely not praise the other party.
But after thinking about the fate of former Chelsea coach Rodgers, conspiracy theory began on Fleet Street, believing that Situ Yunbing was squirting "poisonous milk" on Paul Lambert's face!
Liverpool played against Aston Villa at home on weekends, and Liverpool's starting lineup finally seemed to make up for the flaws in the defense.
Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.
Defenders: Carragher, Scotter, Benatia, Enrique.
Midfielder: Eriksen, Gerald, Casemiro.
Forwards: Sterling, Suarez, Coutinho.
Aston Villa is a good counterattacker. Liverpool's defense line did not have any problems with the wing today, but Casemiro's performance in the midfield was disappointing!
It's either because of technical reasons or because the whole person is not in shape, he seems dull when handling the ball, and his defense is a bit frizzy.
Situ Yunbing thought that it might be that Brazilian players were not used to fighting at this time.
Not to mention Brazilian players, even many European players will be uncomfortable when they come to the Premier League’s first season to play in mid-to-late December!
Fortunately, Benatia played a super magical role in the back line today, almost limiting Aston Villa forward Benteke to the point of being crazy. At least two and a half-one chances were intercepted and destroyed by Benatia's interception and defense!
Paul Lambert was stunned on the sidelines, and after being disappointed, he fell into a state of numbness.
I couldn't help but believe the conspiracy theory on Fleet Street. Situ Yunbing's mouthful of poisonous milk would definitely curse Aston Villa!
Liverpool's forward performance was not particularly good today, but the victory was due to its strong firepower.
Gerald scored with a powerful shot from the penalty area line and opened Liverpool's goal account.
Then Sterling scored a lightning goal in the first half and won another goal!
20 minutes later, using a set piece attack, Scotter Iron Tree scored a header!
Liverpool beat Aston Villa 3-0 at home!
Paul Lambert said helplessly after the game: "The score cannot truly reflect the situation of the game. In fact, we have the opportunity to get a draw or even win the game, but after missing multiple opportunities, our confidence and mentality were affected at the same time."
He was asked by reporters about Situ Yunbing's praise for him before the game.
Lambert shook his head and murmured, "I never want to hear his compliments on me again. I don't know if it is Eastern witchcraft."
Situ Yunbing was in a good mood. After winning this game, Liverpool still had a great lead in the standings. Manchester United and Manchester City also won both in this round, and the competition for the league championship has entered the stage of competition.
Liverpool, 44 points.
Manchester United, 39 points.
Manchester City, 35 points.
......
The Premier League is about to enter the Christmas Devil schedule.
On the 22nd, Liverpool played against Fulham at home.
On the 26th, Liverpool challenged Stoke City away.
On the 29th, Liverpool was a guest to challenge the Queen's Park Rangers.
On January 1, Liverpool faces Sunderland at home.
Four Premier League games in ten days, with an average interval of two days per game!
After playing Aston Villa at home, Situ Yunbing had a long talk with Casemiro.
The master and apprentice were open and honest. Casemiro said that he felt tired. When it was time to go to the team to train in the morning, he felt that his health had not yet returned to his best condition. At the same time, he also told Situ Yunbing frankly that his family and relatives in Brazil were looking forward to him being able to go back to celebrate Christmas, and he was distracted by this.
Situ Yunbing considers that Casemiro can be said to be the player with the highest attendance rate in the first half of the season besides Ter Stegen, and he started almost every game in the league. In the early stages, he also made a debut in the Cup!
He does feel tired. Unlike the goalkeeper who is tired is his mind, the midfielder who is tired is naturally physical.
Situ Yunbing reasonably gave Casemiro a holiday, asking him to go back to Brazil to celebrate Christmas, and waited until January next year to come back to the club and gave him a 10-day holiday.
Casemiro immediately promised to do his best for the club after he came back, and at the same time he would also be able to accumulate energy during the holidays and would not forget to have fun.
Liverpool canceled the appeal for Casemiro's red card. Anyway, the players are on holiday, so they are suspended as "serving sentences".
Another Brazilian player, Lucas, became the main midfielder that Liverpool must rely on during the Christmas Devil schedule.
Anfield Stadium was filled with a pleasant atmosphere when the Christmas Devils schedule started.
Many fans dressed up as Santa Claus, and their families also brought their children to the stadium to watch the game. Some young fans held the Premier League championship trophy model in their hands, as if silently telling that the Christmas gift they wanted was the Premier League champion!
The first opponent in the Devil's schedule is Fulham.
Martin Yoll is also a veteran in the Premier League, but this season's record of leading Fulham is not ideal. Even if the team has big-name striker Berbatov, it cannot be concealed that they are one of the worst teams in the Premier League defense, and they are almost conceded nearly two goals per game!
The impact of Liverpool's lack of Casemiro is not too great. After all, Casemiro has not yet grown to the level of being able to stand alone. Lucas just has no future in the eyes of Situ Yunbing, but it does not mean that he has no strength.
Continuing to use the starter last weekend, he just replaced Casemiro with Lucas, and Liverpool played well at home!
Coutinho accelerated his integration into the team and began to play his role, ensuring Liverpool's creativity on the offensive end. In addition, Eriksen's performance has steadily improved, Liverpool gradually got rid of his sharp counterattack image at Anfield, and they also made great achievements in positional battles!
Suarez and Coutinho shine in this game, and they both scored twice to help Liverpool beat Fulham 4-0 at home!
Chapter completed!
