618 Advance, Attack, Retreat, and Defend!
Liverpool's 1-0 Chelsea game was not widely reported by European media because the game really lacked exciting highlights.
As for whether the two coaches' battles are tense and exciting, it is not worth mentioning from outsiders.
The Reds prepare for the weekend league step by step.
Because he will visit Stamford Bridge in the middle of next week, Situ Yunbing took a big rotation in the game he was away from West Ham United on the weekend.
Including goalkeeper Ter Stegen got a rest.
Arnold and Mbappe were transferred to the first team and arranged to play the starting lineup directly!
For Liverpool, which still needs 3 points to be sure of successful defending the title, as long as the league is not defeated for six rounds, there is basically no problem, and the chasers behind may not be able to win all the six rounds of the league.
Overall, the team's mentality is relatively relaxed, but for substitutes, this is a good opportunity for them to perform.
But Liverpool's performance at Upton Park was a bit bad!
During the break, Liverpool fell behind 0:2 to the home team West Ham United!
Situ Yunbing entered the locker room and pointed the finger at Sterling!
He shouted at Sterling in anger and said, "What are you thinking? Tell me, why are you absent-minded in the game? You lack observation of your surroundings, your enthusiasm to actively cooperate with your teammates, and you are in a state of no state!
In 45 minutes, you shot 8 shots by yourself, but no one was threatening, no one!
I have been holding back to you again and again, but you act like a stubborn child!
I know what you are thinking in your heart. You want to be the main player and you want to be the superstar of this team, but you are not as good as Mbappe, who is 15 years old, today!
His passing success rate is higher than that of you!
In such a game, you can't carry the team forward. What kind of face do you have to think about anything else? Who can trust you to truly carry the team's future?!"
Sterling was scolded by Situ Yunbing so much that he couldn't raise his head!
Then Situ Yunbing criticized the overall performance of the team in the first half, believing that the team was too relaxed and lacked tough aggressiveness.
When Liverpool returned to the court in the second half, his performance improved, but West Ham United had already led two goals, so they will certainly defend their advantages!
After a series of fierce attacks, Liverpool finally scored a goal away with Vardy's goal, but could not save the fate of losing.
Liverpool has suffered the second defeat in the league this season!
He failed to win the Premier League championship five rounds ahead of schedule.
Chelsea and Manchester City won one after another in the same league.
News about Stu Yunbing’s dissatisfaction with Sterling spread wildly, and Sterling’s agent was also fanning the flames, believing that Liverpool did not give Sterling real attention!
Situ Yunbing was too lazy to respond to external reports. It can only be said that at the critical moment when the team was striving for the Champions League, Sterling was not an indispensable member of the team, so Situ Yunbing didn't care about him.
Situ Yunbing thought he had given enough opportunities.
Patience, he was also very patient. He once and twice encouraged Sterling when she performed poorly, but Sterling still did not improve, so Situ Yunbing had to hit him in a strict manner.
These English stars who were spoiled by Fleet Street are really very alternative existences. They often start to be arrogant when they have not made much contributions or have not absolutely crushed stars of the same level.
I don't know where the confidence comes from.
The team needs to focus on the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.
Situ Yunbing kicked Sterling out of the roster in the second round!
He didn't even give him the substitute qualification, just to make him calm!
At the press conference before the match to Stamford Bridge, Situ Yunbing responded with a Fleet Street reporter asking about Sterling.
"Please respect this great event in the Champions League. When we are talking about the Champions League, don't focus on people who are irrelevant, thank you."
Situ Yunbing, who has begun to take cold treatment against Sterling, is really fearless. Not to mention Sterling, even Suarez, if Gareth Bale disobeys discipline and constraints, then he will still turn against him!
Because his authority cannot be violated at all!
When European reporters asked about the prospects of the game, Situ Yunbing calmly said: "It is not safe to lead by one goal. Chelsea can tie the total score at Stamford Bridge at any time, but if we score a goal away, the situation will become very beneficial to us. Simply put, if we score a goal away, Chelsea will need to score three!
We scored two goals and Chelsea would score four goals!
I have coached for many years and participated in the Champions League for two seasons. For the Champions League knockout round, my experience is that I must strive for away goals, because this is the rule that gives away away goals is too valuable!”
As for whether he is confident of entering the Champions League semi-finals, Situ Yunbing said without hesitation: "Of course! I firmly believe that after the game, Liverpool will win the Champions League semi-finals!"
Mourinho made some mobilization before the game, hoping that the team can perform more strongly at home. If they want to turn the tables, they must give everything!
The outside world is not optimistic that Chelsea can complete a comeback against Liverpool at home. Even if it is just one goal behind, Liverpool is too strong and stable!
On the evening of April 10, Liverpool arrived at the Stamford Bridge Stadium in West London. The team carried out pre-match preparations step by step, and everything was in an orderly manner.
When Situ Yunbing stepped into Stamford Bridge Stadium, Chelsea fans were still unfriendly to him, which was expected.
After 30 years, Hexi, Liverpool has a league championship as the base, working hard to win the Champions League championship!
Chelsea has no chance in the league, and the Champions League is in danger. Compared with the situation of the two teams, it is natural to understand that Chelsea fans are trying their best to interfere with Liverpool's motivation.
Situ Yunbing still shook hands friendly with Mourinho before the game.
The competition between the two will be normal. When they met at the Bernabeu four years ago, they thought it was Situ Yunbing who accidentally broke into the top coaching circle in European football, but unexpectedly, four years later, he became one of the bosses in this circle.
The starters of the two teams made their debut with high fighting spirit and heroic spirit.
Mourinho's face was very serious because he could roughly guess Situ Yunbing's tactical deployment today from Liverpool's starting lineup.
"Good evening for everyone, everyone. Welcome to the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Chelsea will play against Liverpool at home Stamford Bridge!
A week ago, Liverpool beat Chelsea with Kanter's final victory at Anfield.
Today, when Chelsea came to Stamford Bridge Stadium. If Chelsea wanted to turn the tables and eliminate their opponents and advance to the Champions League semi-finals, they had to beat Liverpool at home. This is a prerequisite. If Liverpool scored a away goal, they would have to win two goals!
Audiences who have watched the first leg may think that the second leg will be boring, but I think it may be a different scene because Chelsea has no reason to defend, and they must score goals!
This may make the game have a completely different effect from the first round scene.
Okay, let's take a look at the starting lineup of the two teams.
Chelsea started 433 today.
Goalkeeper: Cech.
Defenders: Ivanovic, Terry, Cahill, Ashley Cole.
Midfielder: Ramirez, David Luis, William.
Forwards: Oscar, Torres, Hazard.
Chelsea seems to be fighting against Liverpool today!
Liverpool has a 4312 formation away today.
Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.
Defenders: Azpilicueta, Van Dijk, Benatia, Robertson.
Midfielder: Eriksen, Kante, Gerald, Casemiro.
Forward: Suarez, Gareth Bale.
Situ Yunbing seems to be playing a defensive counterattack today, and the midfield is very hard!
Let's wait and see what the competition will be going forward!"
Before the game begins, Mourinho gestures to the team to keep them steady and not be too impatient.
Situ Yunbing stood on the side with his arms wrapped around his chest. He didn't mind playing a defensive counterattack on the away game, and it was more blunt. This defensive counterattack was for Mourinho to see!
Call it to all Chelsea fans!
With the referee's whistle sounding and Stamford Bridge's fanatical cheering, the game officially kicked off.
The pace of the game was slow at the beginning. Although Chelsea played 433, they did not directly oppress the attack. That was not the style of Mourinho's team.
After all, if they score one goal, the game may enter overtime. If they score two goals, they will turn to the dead without hesitation!
So there is no need to launch a fierce attack on Liverpool from the first minute, especially when Liverpool clearly put on a defensive counterattack after the opening.
Chelsea's offense is more tentative, while Liverpool also plays relatively simple in fast attacks, playing long shots from the outside and never going deep into the hinterland of the enemy's defense zone.
Ensuring the safety of the three lines is the first priority to ensure that the three lines are closely integrated with the defense line.
The game looks tepid, very similar to the first round.
In the 16th minute of the game, Chelsea attacked from the right. Oscar and Ivanovic, who assisted, collided with the wall and then turned into the intangible line. At this time, Ramirez quickly stepped forward behind him and entered the right rib of the penalty area. Ivanovic sent a straight pass over the top. Chelsea's triple-pass was still very imaginative.
However, Liverpool's defense was tight, Benatia headed the ball to clear the ball, and Gerrard immediately launched a counterattack after a successful return from the backcourt.
He passed the ball diagonally to the left of the frontcourt. When Gareth Bale stopped the ball on the left of the frontcourt and turned forward quickly, Chelsea's defense line was almost the only back line and David Luis, who played the guest midfielder today, had the ability to intercept and defend.
Gareth Bale encountered David Louis when he dribbled from the outside. His sluggish rhythm paused and turned to cross-cut and wiped horizontally in front of Louis. When Terry stepped forward and topped the defense, he passed the ball straight to the area behind Terry.
Suarez inserted into the penalty area with an empty local belt, and made a move to shoot. When Cahill rushed to defend and intercept, he unexpectedly found Suarez's spike at his feet and crossed him!
After this button, the situation in front of Suarez suddenly became clear and he faced Cech!
Suarez did not hesitate anymore and shot decisively!
The football drifted through an inner arc and fell to the lower right corner of the goal. Cech saved to the extreme but failed to touch the football!
Bang!
The football hit the inside of the right post and bounced into the goal!
The orderly cheering momentum of Stamford Bridge came to an abrupt end and suddenly became silent!
Liverpool fans burst into earth-shaking cheers in the stands!
Chapter completed!
