In the 24th round of the Premier League, Liverpool challenged Leicester City. Ranieri's team performed stably and outstandingly this season, and is currently hovering outside the top four and is one of the contenders in the top four.
However, it was still a bit difficult to face Liverpool at home. The stable defense and clear counterattack posed some threats to Liverpool, but the quality of the last goal was not high, which caused them not to cause substantial damage.
However, Liverpool frequently used the side to attack, and only attacked the left side made Leicester City difficult to resist. Robertson and Coutinho's linkage became more and more tacit, and they kept sending shells to Lewandowski in the middle, Eriksson, Casemiro who were inserted later, and Gareth Bale who was supporting the distance.
With the goals of Gareth Bale and Casemiro, Liverpool finally won Leicester City 2:0 away!
Four days later, Liverpool fell into a home game!
The Premier League drove fast in the middle of the week, and Liverpool played against Sunderland, the second-last at home. Everyone thought that the Reds were sure to win this game, and there was a big victory. As a result, the team's condition fluctuated. Mistakes in the midfield led to passive defensive lines, and the forwards ended the offensive line sloppyly, which reduced the offensive threat. After missing a large number of opportunities, Liverpool played 2:2 with Sunderland at home.
After the game, Situ Yunbing did not accuse the team, but he also refused the post-match interview, making it difficult to understand what his attitude was about the team being tied by Sunderland at home.
When the 26th round of the Premier League came, at the pre-match preparation meeting the day before the game, Situ Yunbing's big roster announced by the game surprised all the players in the team!
Situ Yunbing almost formed the starting lineup with young players and substitutes!
Although there will be a Champions League match three days later, because the opponent is Ghent, the outside world predicts that Liverpool will not do its best in the first leg of the Champions League!
Logically speaking, it should be the main lineup to play in the league, and the substitute lineup should be used reasonably to play in the Champions League.
However, Situ Yunbing played a lineup of substitutes and young players in the league.
This made both the outside world and the team believe that Situ Yunbing would use the main lineup in the Champions League, which is reasonable. Maybe it was for the first time.
Challenge Aston Villa as a guest at Villa Park.
The home team ranks at the bottom of the league, worse than Sunderland that Liverpool faced in the last round.
For Aston Villa, only 3 points is meaningful. Before this round of battle, if they want to escape from the relegation zone, they must at least surpass the fourth-last team, so they need to narrow the gap of at least 9 points!
So 1 point is meaningless to them, 3 points is the best medicine to save lives.
Liverpool caught Aston Villa's eagerness to attack and wanted to score a goal, and played very pragmatically away.
The attack group led by Sane, Vardy and Mbappe almost fought with the support of Henderson, Gondozi, Arnold and Guerrero!
Because there is too much room for attack!
In the 8th minute of the game, Guerrero made a straight pass on the left side. Sane led the ball in the offside and cut in. After quickly entering Aston Villa's penalty area, he pretended to throw the ball to Valdi in the middle, and dunked the last defensive player with a fake fax. Then he swung the goalkeeper in a false direction and dunked the goalkeeper when the goalkeeper attacked. He pushed the ball into the goal with a small angle in the empty goal!
Situ Yunbing applauded and cheered Sane's goal on the sidelines.
Gareth Bale, Lewandowski, Coutinho, Erikson and others were looking at each other.
The team scored a goal ahead, which naturally made them extremely excited!
But the atmosphere is a bit weird now.
They haven't fully understood what's going on now!
Aston Villa fell behind in the score and went into the offense at any cost, which quickly lost the suspense of the game.
In the 19th minute of the game, Henderson interrupted the ball in the middle of the backcourt and passed it over to Mbappe to create an opportunity. Mbappe started from the wing and quickly broke through Aston Villa's defense line. After the ball was wade, he dribbled into a single shot and chose to shoot when the goalkeeper attacked. The football bounced into the ground and flew into the goal!
Liverpool leads two goals away!
Just 6 minutes later, Arnold assisted the ball from the right and rushed to the frontcourt to receive the pass from Mbappe, and sent a precise cross. Sane, who cut in the far point, stopped the ball and adjusted it and hit the ball into the far corner of the goal!
Liverpool secures the victory!
Situ Yunbing turned around proudly and walked to the coach's seat to sit down, excitedly discussing the team's growth and progress this season with Gerald.
The generals of Aston Villa exploded in their mentality, showing signs of a broken can and a broken cane.
In the 37th minute of the game, Vardy collided with Henderson in front of the penalty area and cooperated with the pass and cut, and completed a counter-offside attack to form a single shot. He calmly pushed the ball into the near corner of the goal!
Before the end of the first half, Guerrero made a cross from the wing to create chaos in front of Aston Villa. Vardy seized the opportunity and shot in the melee and sent the ball into Aston Villa's goal!
Liverpool's substitute and young lineup beat home team Aston Villa 5 goals in the first half!
The game was completely out of suspense. Situ Yunbing did not enter the locker room during the intermission and chatted with the little ball boy in the stadium.
Aston Villa's little caddie was very disappointed with the team's poor performance this season. He was also afraid that the team would be relegated to the Championship. He asked Situ Yunbing if there was any way to turn the situation around and he would write a letter of advice to the club!
Situ Yunbing told him that the reasons for a team's poor performance are always complicated, rather than looking so simple and direct.
The little caddie was very disappointed. Situ Yunbing comforted him and finally said to him: "How about you support Liverpool, so you will have no worries!"
The little caddie immediately shook his head and said that even if Aston Villa is relegated to the League One and League Two, he will only support this team.
It's like his home, the home of everyone around him.
Situ Yunbing's reaction to the little caddie was not surprising.
This is the football culture of England or the world football. Relatively speaking, such a culture has not been formed in many underdeveloped football areas.
In the past 20 years, European football has exported to all parts of the world, but has actually just plundered the market and has not completed the output of the core culture of football.
Those emerging football markets are only interested in interests and completely ignore the formation and cultivation of cultural heritage.
In the second half of the game, the two sides changed sides and fought again. What surprised Situ Yunbing was that Aston Villa was playing the game to the end!
There was no sign of improvement at all.
Not long after the game started, Mbappe counterattacked the frontcourt and destroyed Aston Villa's control of the ball in the backcourt. After intercepting the ball, Mbappe immediately turned around and inserted it. Vardy directly shot the ball and sent it straight through.
Mbappe went to the meeting alone. This time he dribbled like Sane, and then passed the goalkeeper and sent the ball into the goal!
Liverpool leads Aston Villa 6:0 away!
Villa Park is almost in a riot!
Aston Villa fans in the stands have gone from anger and disappointment in the first half to a second half and have turned into crazy and out of control!
Some turned around and left sadly, some hysterically criticized the team's performance, while others simply vented their anger on the visiting Liverpool fans, as if they were going to fight in the stands.
The security work in the stadium stands was immediately strengthened, and the aisles were filled with security guards and staff. Aston Villa fans who were overly emotional were taken away and drove them out of the field.
Aston Villa is also in a dilemma now. Only goals can save their dignity. However, facing Liverpool, they will not only score goals, but it is very difficult to pass and cooperate to enter Liverpool's penalty area!
The Liverpool players continued to take the game seriously. In the 62nd minute of the game, Sane broke through the left side of the frontcourt and passed the ball backwards. Henderson, who followed up, dribbled into the penalty area, but no Aston Villa player could stop him!
On the left side of the penalty spot, Henderson kicked the ball and made the goalkeeper save. Vardy followed up and sent the ball into the goal!
Liverpool leads Aston Villa 7:0!
The game has more than 25 minutes left, but it has caused a tragedy!
Situ Yunbing felt a little sympathetic to Aston Villa. They were wrong in their mentality and tactics since the start of the game, which led to them being wrong in one step and one step!
What may make Aston Villa fans angry is that they have not been destroyed by Liverpool's main elite team, and what is humiliating them is Liverpool's substitutes and young players!
Any fan of this result will be difficult for him to accept.
Situ Yunbing walked to the sidelines and gestured to the team, so that they could slow down their pace and not have to over-expend it.
Even so, Liverpool still scored a goal by Guerrero in the 81st minute of the game!
For players like Guerrero and Arnold, they do not have any concerns about whether to over-expend. They want to perform as much as they take the opportunity!
In the end, Liverpool massacred the owner here 8:0 at Villa Park!
After the game, Situ Yunbing expressed regret to Aston Villa in an interview.
"I can understand Aston Villa's determination and will to win the game, but the game is not a brute force contest. Understanding the game and analysis of the scene are all very important factors."
When the reporter asked Liverpool's arrangement today whether it means that they are full of confidence in winning the league championship, Situ Yunbing shook his head and said, "This has nothing to do with the league championship. When facing the game, our attitude has always been to do our best to win the game!
In other words, my platoon was just to win the game, and there was no other consideration.
It turns out that my choice was right, and the guys who appeared today showed a near-perfect level on the court!”
No one has realized what will happen when Liverpool is a visit to Ghent three days later. Everyone only thinks that Liverpool has conducted a normal rotation, and even the players in Liverpool team think so!
Chapter completed!
