Manchester United and Manchester City also won the same round. The focus of the Premier League championship will be on the next round in two weeks, as Liverpool will go to Manchester to challenge the Red Devils Manchester United!

Liverpool, 56 points.

Manchester United, 49 points.

Manchester City, 44 points.

Stable from 2012 to 2013, Situ Yunbing became the most popular coach in the Premier League, and his favorite player Suarez has also become the number one star in the Premier League!

Suarez praised Situ Yunbing in an interview. He said that he had doubted Situ Yunbing's ability when he went from Ajax to Monaco, but he then realized that he had made a huge mistake. He got better in Monaco, but he never showed his strength for a year and a half after coming to Liverpool. Until Situ Yunbing entered Anfield half a year ago, he was reborn again!

Currently, he has handed in goal data of one goal per game, and Suarez has the hope of becoming another super striker to be in history in the Premier League!

Situ Yunbing's evaluation of Suarez was very brief.

"He is one of the top forwards in the world and he makes winning easy."

Although the Christmas Devils schedule in the Premier League is over, it is just that Liverpool has to join a new front and play in the semi-finals of the League Cup in two rounds!

At this time, Situ Yunbing can free up his hands to rotate, and the main lineup must take a breath and then regain his energy for the England Derby.

Premier League teams participated in the FA Cup in the middle of the week, Liverpool challenged Mansfield, and Liverpool made a full substitute, including the second goalkeeper Reina, who had already left the team, also played.

Reiner was a little confused. Ter Stegen was highly expected by Situ Yunbing, and he also stood firm in the top spot in the goalkeeper. Reiner wanted to leave the team, but Liverpool did not want to let him go because there was no reliable third player in the goalkeeper's position. Situ Yunbing must be alert to problems with the goalkeeper's position.

But Reina also hopes to play the main role in other teams. Situ Yunbing has talked with him more than once, hoping that he will stay. Reina finally chose to leave, but only delayed the time to summer, rather than now when the transfer window is opened in the winter.

Liverpool won this FA Cup game with a relaxing victory. Vardy shone in the game and directly staged a four-game goal, helping Liverpool beat their opponent 6-1 away.

Liverpool, who successfully advanced to the next round of the FA Cup, began a journey of multi-line attack!

Three days later, Situ Yunbing will lead the team to Villa Park to play the first leg of the League Cup with Chelsea.

The English League Cup was originally a single-game winning system, but in the semi-finals it was a showdown of positions in two rounds!

In the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals, Situ Yunbing asked reporters whether there would be psychological pressure and ideological burden to lead the team to compete with Benitez.

Situ Yunbing replied with a smile: "I only know that our opponent is Chelsea.

But to be honest, if Liverpool loses to Chelsea or is eliminated by Chelsea, then a large number of people will definitely jump out and point at my nose and say: You are not as good as your ex!

Haha, will this form my burden and burden? I don’t think so. If I am eliminated, I will be lost for it. No one likes to be eliminated, and of course Liverpool is not!

And we are also the defending champions, so we naturally have to prove our strength in a strong dialogue!”

Benitez's situation at Chelsea is actually not good. Although Chelsea, he led, at least stabilized its decline in the league, may not win the support of fans. Fans' resistance to him is deeply rooted, which stems from the grudges between him and Chelsea for many years since his coaching Liverpool.

Against this background, the battle in Villa Park has attracted many attention.

Liverpool fans rushed to Villa Park Stadium to support the team.

When Situ Yunbing walked into the stadium, he saw Benitez with a big belly. He took the initiative to walk forward and shake hands and greet Benitez in a friendly manner. Although Benitez is in a bad situation, he is still a familiar coach in European football. Although he doesn't know when he will be able to return to the top ranks again, he is still a brilliant figure.

Benitez shook hands with Situ Yunbing with a smile on his face. He might also expect to get some understanding and favor from Liverpool fans, but Liverpool fans are also a little dissatisfied with his mentality now!

Because he coaches Chelsea!

The reason is the same as Chelsea fans don't like Benitez.

Situ Yunbing stood in the coach's command area, calm and composed, giving people a feeling of confidence.

The starting players of both teams entered the court, and the atmosphere became warm.

"Good evening for all the audience, welcome to watch the focus battle in the first leg of the English Football League semi-finals!

The teams that entered the semi-finals this year are Liverpool, Chelsea, Aston Villa, and Brentford. Perhaps Liverpool and Chelsea do not want to draw each other, but fate arranged for them to meet in the semi-finals!

Today at Villa Park Stadium, the two teams staged a first leg of the semi-finals!

Let's take a look at the starting lineup of the two teams.

Chelsea starts 433.

Goalkeeper: Cech.

Defenders: Ivanovic, David Louis, Cahill, Ashley Cole.

Midfielder: Ramirez, Lampard, Mata.

Forwards: Dembaba, Torres, Hazard.

Liverpool's starting lineup today is also 433.

Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.

Defenders: Agel, Scotter, Benatia, Enrique.

Midfielder: Lucas, Eriksen, Casemiro.

Forwards: Mahrez, Suarez, Coutinho.

Compared with Chelsea's starting lineup today, there are not many unexpected things, but the use of some personnel in Liverpool's starting lineup today surprised us. For example, Gareth Bale was sitting on the bench. Perhaps Situ Yunbing wanted to keep him playing in the England derby four days later, and Agel was activated in the right back position, rather than Carragher or young player Flanagan.

Situ Yunbing has always had his unique features in hiring people, and maybe there will be unexpected results today.

Okay, the game begins soon, let's enjoy this red and blue battle on the League Cup stage!"

Situ Yunbing's confidence in this game comes from his greater advantage than Benitez.

This is not a comparison of personal coaching ability, but Benitez's control over Chelsea is almost impossible to talk about. Chelsea's recent record is stable, but it is not necessarily better, so they just haven't continued to play harder. They have such strong strength and will rebound when they reach a low point.

But Liverpool is different. At the same starting line, Chelsea fell and then got up and wanted to chase Liverpool, which became unrealistic!

When the game started, Liverpool did not aggressively want to control the midfield. On the contrary, they contracted their formation in the midfield, pursued quick offense and ruthless defense!

This is exactly the tactics the team used to play Sunderland at home!

Just partial fine-tuning.

Liverpool does not take the initiative and deliberately take the initiative, but is disrupting Chelsea's rhythm and destroying their offensive and defensive system!

Pressure through defense!

Situ Yunbing has mastered this style of fighting in Hamburg and Monaco. He knows what to do to make his opponent seem at a loss.

When Hazard dribbled on the left side of the frontcourt, Agel took the initiative every time to defend. Combined with Lucas' assistance, he completely blocked Hazard's line in the middle, forcing Hazard to have to go down the bottom and make a cross from the bottom line!

Torres's condition still did not improve, so Chelsea introduced Dembaba in the winter window, and the effect was actually very average, because Chelsea itself did not sort out the offensive system of the midfield.

The threat of Liverpool's midfield and frontcourt fast break is mainly Suarez and Sterling.

Sterling was a bit arrogant after the opening, and he challenged veteran Ashley Cole twice in succession and ended in failure.

Ashley Cole is old, his speed and reaction are slow, but he can also make Sterling fall through with his rich experience and predictions!

Situ Yunbing had to gesture to Sterling on the sidelines, asking him to be more at ease and not to draw a prison to compete with Ashley Cole.

There is no need for that.

If a player in a team is limited to one-on-one, then he has no future.

Like Ronaldo in the past and Hazard now, the pattern has not yet risen to the team, so it is often a sign of heavy thunder and light rain, just a little bit of gold.

Sterling immediately stopped and began to actively give up the dribbling breakthrough, thus choosing to cooperate with his teammates and actively run and interlude!

Situ Yunbing saw his performance improvement and applauded him specifically!

He likes obedient players, especially young players.

Chelsea's offense is still weak. To be honest, Benitez is not a coach who is good at coaching team offense, otherwise the Liverpool era would not have been criticized for "x**t"!

Benitez is better at targeted deployment of soldiers to block water and soil.

Unfortunately, he does not have the right control over Chelsea, which is difficult to achieve and it is difficult to play out his strengths.

This leads to Chelsea's weak offense, and once the midfielder cannot withstand Liverpool's counter-attack pressure, they will fall into a huge crisis.

In the 34th minute of the game, when Lampard encountered Suarez's counter-attack in the backcourt, he passed the ball to Ramirez. The latter realized Coutinho's counter-attack and quickly accelerated the ball to get rid of it, but Eriksen successfully counter-attacked!

Erikson immediately sent out an oblique pass after intercepting the ball.

Sterling successfully received the ball in the right side of the penalty area. When Lampard rushed to press, he pivoted the ball and immediately hit the ball in front of the penalty area and left side of the penalty area.

When Suarez stepped forward and led Chelsea's defense to retreat, Coutinho cut inward and touched the ball and dribbled the ball horizontally and completed the adjustment in one step, then took a kick and shot!

The football is like a white rainbow and hangs straight on the upper right corner of the goal!
Chapter completed!
