The next day, the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals ended and the Champions League semi-finals were released.

Premier League: Liverpool.

Bundesliga: Bayern Munich.

La Liga: Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid.

Another day later, UEFA draws to determine the situation of the Champions League semi-finals!

Bayern Munich VS Real Madrid.

Atletico Madrid VS Liverpool.

The outside world is more optimistic about Liverpool and Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League final, because Atletico Madrid is considered to be the limit to the semi-finals, and Real Madrid has been difficult to make it to the final for many years, not to mention that they are facing Bayern Munich, which is in the Bundesliga, and Their old rival Guardiola.

Situ Yunbing didn't seem to care about this, and Liverpool had a major event to play in the Premier League this weekend.

Manchester City is a guest at Anfield Stadium!

In the pre-match press conference of this game, Situ Yunbing said in an interview: "We experienced a Champions League battle in the middle of the week, so in order for the team to better prepare for the Champions League semi-finals, we will be at home. In a big rotation, I know the opponents Manchester City are very strong, but I don’t think they have the strength to conquer Anfield!"

Manchester City's victory only exists in theory, unless Liverpool lose five straight, they win five straight.

So if Pellegrini still dreams of winning the Premier League title at this time, it is really whimsical.

But for Manchester City, they naturally want to beat Liverpool at Anfield to prove that they are better than Liverpool.

But when the weekend game arrived, people found that Situ Yunbing had put a big smoke bomb!

Liverpool has no rotation, no one!

It was exactly the same as their starting lineup at Stamford Bridge in midweek!

Manchester City are doing their best to get all three points at Anfield to fight Liverpool's arrogance!

Faced with Liverpool's full main lineup, and even Liverpool's tactical play is the same as in midweek, which makes Manchester City even if they want to declare a strong away game, they must weigh and weigh whether the back line can withstand Liverpool's powerful counterattack firepower!

The cheers at Anfield shook all directions. The excitement of the team reaching the Champions League semi-finals continues. Fans have a hunch that this will be a great season written in history. Naturally, they will not miss every battle of Liverpool and will not. They have the slightest reservation in the cheering, which are their happy memories and their enthusiasm for contributing to the club.

Pellegrini was pacing on the sidelines, and Situ Yunbing was also on the sidelines to supervise the battle.

The situation on the field is stalemate, the threat offensive of the two teams are very limited, and the tactical objectives that restrict each other are clear at a glance.

The lingering shadow in Pellegrini’s heart is what Situ Yunbing said when he met him in the first half of the schedule. He did not regard Manchester City as a roadblock on the road to creating glory. If Manchester City would become an obstacle , Then Liverpool will forcefully sweep away!

Judging from the league standings, Manchester City really can't become a stumbling block on Liverpool's way to win the championship. The reason why Pellegrini never forgets is to always inspire himself!

When the first half of the game was about to end, Gerrard made a long shot from the front of Manchester City's penalty area to make Joe Hart save and escape, Suarez followed up and sent the ball into the goal!

Manchester City trailed 0:1 away!

If there are any obvious weaknesses in Manchester City's lineup configuration, Joe Hart can be considered a more obvious link.

Because in the face of long-range shots, he always has problems of one kind or another. This is the defect of the goalkeeper.

Pellegrini felt a headache, while Situ Yunbing was relieved.

In fact, there is something to criticize this season, that is, Liverpool was eliminated by Manchester City in the League Cup, defeated by Chelsea at the end of the league half, and eliminated by Arsenal in the FA Cup.

In fact, it is a normal football rule to lose a game occasionally. No team can keep winning, winning streak, or undefeated. It is nothing more than the number of games. When a phenomenal state can be maintained, it means breaking the record, but it is impossible. Keep it going.

For Situ Yunbing, all he has to do is to avoid overwhelming results for the team.

It's like playing Manchester City. Liverpool lost in the League Cup and the league was tied. Now the league meets for the second time. If Liverpool ties or loses, then this season will be three matches for Manchester City without a win!

The lack of face is the second. No one cares whether the championship is convincing or not, but for the team’s own construction, this is not a good phenomenon. It will also stimulate Manchester City’s morale and make them more likely to face Liverpool in the future. confidence!

So this game not only cannot be lost, but must be won!

If there is no goal in the first half, Liverpool will inevitably change the game in the second half to launch a crazy attack!

After an intermission, the players of both sides returned to the court to fight again in the second half, and Manchester City became more active.

This did not make Manchester City's offensive more threatening, but instead allowed Liverpool to get more good opportunities in the fast break.

Manchester City's main fire attack points this season are Aguero and Yaya Toure, but there will be a very fatal problem in the strong dialogue.

Once Yaya Toure is over-invested in the attack, then Manchester City's midfield defense will have a huge problem!

In the years since Yaya Toure moved from Barcelona to Manchester City, his position has been constantly moving forward. You must know that he used to play the role of midfielder and central defender under Guardiola in Barcelona!

But in Manchester City from the midfielder to the midfielder, now it is almost the role of the midfielder and semi-free man!

He has scored more goals this season than Aguero and Dzeko. Of course, people can see his role and threat in attack, but people can’t get rid of the perception that he is an indispensable part of Manchester City’s midfield defense. .

When he was over-invested in the offense, the quality of Manchester City's midfield defense dropped drastically. This is not noticeable when playing a weak team, but it is fatal in a strong dialogue!

Liverpool's counterattack can more easily hit the 30-yard area in front of Manchester City, and then whether it is a long-range shot or a more delicate pass and cut penetration coordination, Manchester City's defense line is scorched.

In the 67th and 79th minutes of the game, Gareth Bale twice succeeded in the offside in the fast break and scored two goals with two shots.

Liverpool lead Manchester City 3:0 at home!

Pellegrini seems to be able to feel Mourinho's despair at this moment!

When competing with opponents of this level in Liverpool, the more you want to win, the faster you may lose!

He also almost fully interpreted Mourinho's remarks with actions.

If Chelsea attacked Liverpool's defense like Manchester City did, Chelsea would die even worse!

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, there was deafening cheers from the fans at Anfield Stadium!

Then he shouted "Situ! Situ! Situ!"

Situ Yunbing walked to shake hands with Pellegrini. The hurried handshake made Pellegrini feel very depressed. Situ Yunbing turned around and walked into the stadium to hug every Liverpool player.

At this moment, they announced to the world that they had succeeded in defending the Premier League four rounds ahead of schedule!

The owner Henry also got up in the box and applauded, with a charming smile on his face.

Situ Yunbing hooked up with the players in the stadium, and then sang the team song together with the fans in the stands. This scene was recorded by the cameraman on the sidelines, and it must be a glorious and precious scene in Liverpool's current flourishing age.

In an interview after the game, Situ Yunbing strongly praised the players' performance.

"We have been full of firm belief from the first day of the season. As the defending champions, the biggest crisis does not come from the outside. Manchester City, Chelsea and Manchester United have completed their coaching changes. They have introduced new players. They will initiate us. Challenges, etc. These are not the biggest crises, the biggest crises come from ourselves!

Many championship teams will relax, take it lightly, and have a naive mentality that they can win the championship again step by step!

My requirement for the team is to continue to work hard and become stronger, because we must do this if we want to successfully defend the title, because we want to achieve greater goals and we must do the same!

We have a good captain whose professionalism makes the atmosphere within the team very good, and the players maintain a positive energy from start to finish.

There are also new players, Van Dijk, Azpilicueta, Kanter, why this season we performed better than last season? You can easily find the answer from them!

I think Liverpool’s success in defending today has opened a new era in the Premier League!

When you only win the championship once, you are easy to be forgotten. Like Blackburn, when you can't win consecutive championships, you are also easy to be questioned. Like Arsenal, only those who can be at the top for two consecutive years and for a long time. The location of the club will be a symbol of the era!

We are now working hard to achieve this. After two consecutive championships, I will not say that I am thinking about three consecutive championships now. I don’t think we should look to the future now. We will finish the rest of the season. Then Enjoy the results of this season, and when the next season really comes, we will talk about the future. "

Situ Yunbing did not want to obliterate the players' contributions. If he thinks that two consecutive championships are easy, it will only undermine the players' enthusiasm.

It is not the time to enjoy the victory, but the Liverpool club immediately released a lot of positive signals. For example, Werner announced that he had drafted a plan acceptable to both sides on the contract extension of many players in the team.

For example, Liverpool Club added two million pounds to the winning prize and so on.

The structure of Liverpool and the values ​​of the board of directors allow Situ Yunbing to do things more efficiently with half the effort. A good helper can save him a lot.

When everyone is working towards the same direction and goal, the mood and motivation to do things are completely different.

And this is precisely the important factor behind the success of the club, not simply because of Situ Yunbing's coaching, he is alone.

In other words, even Situ Yunbing will be uncomfortable if the board of directors is dragged down.
