Countdown to the Battle of the 900th Century!(1/2)
Middlesbrough staff watched Liverpool players and coaches walk to the locker room in the player passage. They watched Situ Yunbing open the door to the locker room and waved the players in and quickly packed their things.
It took only 2 minutes and the visiting team's locker room was empty!
The staff walked in and took a look. The chairs were neatly arranged and there was no garbage.
It seems like there has never been a team here to visit.
After Situ Yunbing took office, Liverpool formed a new tradition, that is, they would clean the opponent's locker room after every visiting game.
Over time, they will also consciously maintain the cleanliness of the visiting team's locker room.
The staff in Middlesbrough looked at each other, feeling that they were dazzled!
Situ Yunbing missed the post-match interview, and no players were interviewed.
They took a bus to Newcastle Airport, 50 kilometers away.
There was already a plane waiting for them at the airport. The entire Liverpool team took no more than 15 minutes from arriving at the airport to boarding the plane. They all took the fast track. After boarding the plane, Gerald and other coaches arranged the players. The players all had independent cockpits with private spaces. Only then did the players who had played bath, eat, and rest.
The plane took off at Newcastle Airport and headed straight to Tokyo, Japan!
Fleet Street focuses on the hasty report on Liverpool’s trip to the Club World Cup!
However, no media criticized Liverpool's approach, which helped them to face the Merseyside Derby in a better form after returning from the Club World Cup!
They only turned to Yokohama after Liverpool arrived in Tokyo, Japan for 12 hours to rest.
When they arrived at Yokohama and stayed in the hotel, the 16th round of the Premier League was also over.
Situ Yunbing watched the game between Everton and Arsenal in the hotel!
Everton unexpectedly beat Arsenal 2-1 at home!
Everton is indeed in good condition recently. They are ranked in the middle and upper reaches of the Premier League, chasing the second group closely.
Except for Arsenal who failed away, other teams won the game!
Chelsea beat Sunderland with a small goal away game, and Conte's team won the economy.
Manchester United beat Crystal Palace 2-1 away, seemingly back on track.
Manchester City won Watford 2:0 at home, Guardiola finally calmed down and the team began to become a little pragmatic.
Tottenham defeated Hull City 3-0 at home.
With the end of the 16th round of the Premier League, Liverpool continues to lead the standings!
Liverpool, 41 points.
Arsenal, 37 points.
Chelsea, 39 points.
Manchester City, 33 points.
Tottenham, 29 points.
Manchester United, 26 points.
......
There are a total of 7 participating teams in this year's Club World Cup. At the same time, var technology has begun to be put into use in this Club World Cup!
As European champions, Liverpool will go directly to the semifinals. After they have only one day to adapt to the arrival of Yokohama, Liverpool will compete with Mexico and America for the final ticket at Yokohama International Stadium.
When Liverpool comes to play the Club World Cup, there is always a hasty situation of rushing to get the ducks on the shelves!
However, it is not much of a cost to Liverpool's substitute players.
The league game before I came was played by the main lineup!
In the pre-match locker room of the Club World Cup semi-finals, Situ Yunbing repeatedly slapped his hands to remind the starting players.
"Remember one thing, don't worry about the score. Whether we are behind or leading, or we have not scored a goal, we must unswervingly play defensive counterattack!
Today is not the day when you become famous with one goal, so I will give up the idea of becoming a hero!
Today we are going to show the appearance of a team, a team fighting!
We went from England to Japan for a day and a night, not to be a joke for the whole world!
Believe me, the news that Liverpool has fallen into trouble now is far more sensational than that we win!”
Situ Yunbing's words are naturally for those young players!
If he led the team from Britain to Japan, the Club World Cup had not reached the final yet. To put it in a smaller way, it was just Liverpool's own embarrassment, but to put it in a larger way, Liverpool lost the face of European football!
During extraordinary times, Situ Yunbing had to be vigilant.
Although the Club World Cup is also useless, its appearance seems to be more important than the game itself!
Yokohama International Stadium.
Liverpool faces Mexican America at the stadium at 6 p.m.
When the opponent saw Liverpool sending a large number of substitutes and young players, Liverpool played defensive counterattacks, they did not dare to act rashly, and could only continue to tentatively launch an offensive.
Liverpool's counterattack opportunity was not very good. Sancho and Vardy were allowed to charge forward. Even if it was ineffective, Situ Yunbing expressed satisfaction.
But of course the audience was not satisfied!
They must have come to the scene to see Liverpool’s stars up close, but Sane, Mbappe, and Eriksen were not on the way. In addition, the quality of the game was indeed not high, so the audience couldn’t help but boo!
The dull game did not make the audience cheer until the 73rd minute.
Henderson's outside the penalty area received a long shot from Vardy!
Situ Yunbing couldn't help but clench his fists on the sidelines to celebrate!
Even though the scene is ugly, Liverpool won the game, and that's the most important thing!
Mexico and America's counterattack failed to penetrate Liverpool's defense, and Liverpool finally successfully advanced to the Club World Cup final!
What is more surprising is that Kashima Antlers, who only had a place to participate in the Club World Cup held in Japan, actually passed the qualifying round, first defeated Auckland City, then beat Mamrodi Sunset, and then entered the Club World Cup finals after defeating National Athletics!
This is extremely exciting for Japanese local fans!
When the outside world was looking forward to the peak battle between Kashima Antlers and Liverpool, Yun Bing also praised the Japanese champion team Kashima Antlers before the game!
To eliminate three teams and reach the finals, Kashima Antlers' spirit and strength must be valued and recognized!
At 7:30 pm on December 18, at Yokohama International Stadium, Liverpool competed with Kashima Antlers for the Club World Cup championship!
Japanese media are full of expectations that Kashima Antlers are expected to set a record-breaking performance for the Japanese team to win the Club World Cup championship!
They also analyzed the difficulties faced by Liverpool and their lack of attention to the Club World Cup from all aspects, and tried to use theory to award the Club World Cup championship to Kashima Antlers.
It can be understood the mood of the Japanese media. If it were China, the media would have only done more!
Because I want to win too much!
But in fact, when the game started, Kashima Antlers began to intuitively feel the gap between them and the European champion and the world's strongest team!
Liverpool joined the elite troops today, but they did not focus on their efforts, just to perform regular operations according to normal conditions!
When Japanese media used various reasons to lower Liverpool's hope of winning the championship, they selectively ignored the huge consumption of Kashima antlers on average three days and one game in the past 9 days!
Kashima Antlers may have a very strong fighting spirit, but their physical condition cannot be adjusted to the best.
When they gritted their teeth and fought, Liverpool defeated them with more delicate techniques and flexible and changeable techniques!
Kashima Antlers want to win, but they want to win too much!
But they have never truly experienced the real peak showdown in European football. Too much killing will often require great risks!
Facing Liverpool, they were too determined to kill themselves, but instead forced themselves into a hurry after conceding the ball!
Liverpool easily used fast breaks to break through Kashima's Antlers' defense line again and again. Sane and Mbappe allowed the audience to see how huge the threat to Liverpool's wing is!
Vardy is in average today. Except for the first goal, he seized the opportunity, but wasted two golden opportunities later!
If Sane and Mbappe had not made a contribution each, the game might have been suspense.
Liverpool beat their opponents 3:0 at Yokohama International Stadium!
Situ Yunbing really wants to thank Kashima Antlers. They eliminated the South American champion and then brought their huge body to the final battle with Liverpool. It seems that from the beginning, they were in a state of dying generously!
Seek benevolence and get benevolence.
Liverpool has won the Club World Cup for three consecutive years!
This time when he came to the Club World Cup, Liverpool did not attend any commercial activities. Even though their appearance fee had been raised to a sky-high price by the sponsor, Werner also asked Situ Yunbing twice whether he could lead the team to take a long time, but Situ Yunbing decisively refused.
With the Club World Cup championship trophy and high bonuses, Liverpool flew back to the UK non-stop.
This time it can be said that they are coming and going in a hurry.
When Liverpool played the Club World Cup, the 17th round of the Premier League was over.
Since being defeated by Liverpool, Chelsea seems to have been reborn. They beat Crystal Palace 1:0 away, which is another economical victory!
Conte's team surpassed Liverpool in points and made the top spot in the Premier League!
The top spot in the Premier League has changed hands several times this season!
To be continued...
