Chapter 896: .896 The Red Army Becomes Rogue

As Liverpool scored seven consecutive victories, Arsenal showed fatigue at home after the midweek Champions League and was tied by Middlesbrough!

Their advantage over Liverpool is only 1 point left!

Unexpectedly, Manchester City was also tied 1:1 at home by Southampton!

In three rounds, Manchester City fell directly behind to the top 3 points and 2 points behind Liverpool!

Not long ago, Manchester City was 2 points ahead of second place and 5 points ahead of Liverpool!

And Chelsea was waiting for him at Stamford Bridge and directly defeated Manchester United's first division!

In a 4:0, Mourinho led his team back to Stamford Bridge, not only failed to take revenge, but also suffered a humiliation and massacre!

In the Premier League standings, the situation is changing very fast!

Arsenal, 23 points.

Liverpool, 22 points.

Manchester City, 20 points.

Chelsea, 19 points.

Manchester United, 13 points.

The Manchester City duo have recently become hard brothers!

......

The League Cup 1/8 finals struck, and Liverpool played at home against Reading.

Situ Yunbing continued to use the simple and rude 442 style of play, avoiding excessive consumption as much as possible.

Reading was somewhat caught off guard in front of Liverpool, feeling that Liverpool are more like a championship-level team than them.

Vardy and Lewandowski both showed their power and each made a contribution to help Liverpool score 3 points in a 2-0 home win over Reading.

In the 10th round of the league, Liverpool challenged the Crystal Palace as a guest. Liverpool, with the best of the army, faced the Crystal Palace, which was also fully defending the ultimate defense at home, and suffered a heavy blow in less than 6 minutes!

Lewandowski was injured in the fight and fell to the ground.

Situ Yunbing's face was very ugly, and at the same time he was a bit helpless.

Before Gareth Bale came out of the ward, Lewandowski lay in again.

The morale of the Crystal Palace was greatly boosted, but after a few consecutive waves of fast breaks, Vardy, who was replaced by Liverpool, seized the opportunity to move forward!

After falling behind, the Crystal Palace simply walked all the way to the dark, continuously launched sideways fast attacks, concentrated firepower on one side.

Liverpool's defender is in poor condition today, Robertson and Coulibaly made low-level errors one after another, and the original good situation became very passive in a flash!

Crystal Palace’s fast-paced confrontation and pressing, as well as a simple quick counterattack, were indeed methodical. Before the end of the first half, the score had become 3:2.

Crystal Palace leads!

During the intermission, Situ Yunbing emphasized in the locker room to remind the defensive players to cheer up. In the second half, he did not want to see the line of defense go wrong again!

In the second half, the two sides changed sides to fight again, and the Crystal Palace attack stalled and began to defend absolutely!

The home team fans cheered for the team with high-pitched singing. They are looking forward to a victory at home!

It is difficult for Liverpool to break the dense defense without Lewandowski.

Situ Yunbing adjusted successively until the 82nd minute of the game, Vardy’s response in the penalty area was destroyed by his opponent, and the football that rolled out of the penalty area was spiked to the right when Mbappe was in possession of the ball, and he swung away to counter the opponent player and then decisively With an angry shot, the football goes straight to the upper right corner of the goal!

Hang the blind spot!

With Mbappe's goal from the dying savior, Liverpool took away a draw with 3:3 away.

Situ Yunbing was a little frustrated in an interview after the game. The team had a strongman and then lost 2 points.

I'm afraid which coach I'm doing is hard to swallow this result.

Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal have won the game in this round!

Manchester United and Tottenham also failed to win this round.

Liverpool fell to third place in the standings.

After Lewandowski decided to bid farewell to 2016, Situ Yunbing could only help Vardy to be the main center when preparing for the team.

Although Mbappe wanted to play center, he rashly pushed him to the center position. It was just an irresponsible performance. He needs more growth.

With Vardy playing center, Liverpool need to make a drastic change in technique and tactics.

The cautiousness of the past two months has been based on Lewandowski's midfield striker, Sane and Mbappé on both wings have speed and technology. The key is that Lewandowski's role as a fulcrum will be very helpful. Drive the entire attack group to exert its power.

Vardy may just be a threatening shooter, and it is unrealistic to hope that he can play more.

Therefore, the team's tactical system needs to be changed.

With the arrival of the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage in midweek, Situ Yunbing led a semi-main lineup to challenge Copenhagen.

In the away game, Situ Yunbing made the team put on a very conservative defensive counterattack formation.

Due to Copenhagen's loss in the previous round, Porto is at home against Bruges again. In view of the fact that Porto defeated Bruges in the away game in the previous round, there is basically no problem with this round of home victory.

Therefore, if Copenhagen wants to retain their hope of promotion, they must take points from Liverpool. They just give it a go. Because they win, the situation is relatively optimistic and if they can't win, the next round is basically a battle of life and death.

What makes Copenhagen unexpected is that Liverpool played gangsters at Anfield in the last round, and this round came to Copenhagen's door as a rascal!

Who can imagine that the dignified overlord of the Red Army, the defending champion of the Champions League for three consecutive championships, will fight back with a defensive counterattack against a second-rate European team!

This hardly gives Copenhagen any retreat.

The Copenhagen coaches showed wry smiles frequently during the game.

Situ Yunbing's play was completely open, just rushing and not losing.

If they can't lose, even if Liverpool can't maintain the top spot in the group, they can still suppress Copenhagen and lead them by 3 points!

If they win, then Liverpool will get an economical victory. These 3 points will make it easier for them to face the last two rounds!

Copenhagen frankly launched a mad attack on Liverpool at home, but after Liverpool took the initiative to compress the defensive space and put on a dense defense, their offense was quite difficult, the threat was almost invisible, and then Liverpool's counterattack was furious.

Even Sancho and Madison performed well in the game, not to mention the experienced Guerrero.

Although Liverpool have a lot of opportunities, the 16-year-old Sancho is the leader of the striker today. He is not without a chance, but basically he is flying!

That series of flying opportunities was placed on other Liverpool strikers, I am afraid that the victory would have been sealed long ago!

Situ Yunbing had already realized this situation, and even talked with Sancho during the intermission, hoping that he would not lose too many opportunities to affect his confidence.

Copenhagen probably felt that Liverpool couldn't score anyway, so they intensified their attack in the second half!

But soon Liverpool taught how to be a man.

Once Henderson's post-insertion received Guerrero's pass, he shot the ball into the lower right corner of the goal with a precise shot.

Liverpool led Copenhagen by one goal away.

Copenhagen suddenly burst into mentality!

It may be that after being molested by Liverpool for a long time, it was finally ruined by a rogue again!

Situ Yunbing made a decisive substitution, Sancho was replaced, and Vardy appeared.

Liverpool continued to play defensive counterattacks, and soon received good results.

In the 68th and 79th minutes of the game, Vardy scored two consecutive cities to help Liverpool win 3-0 away from Copenhagen!

After the match, the Copenhagen coach said in an extremely helpless tone: "If the defending champions face us with a defensive counterattack tactics, then our chances of winning are very small. They have the right to choose tactics, but they did not show the style of defending champions. A game in which all fans and spectators except Liverpool fans will not be satisfied."

The implication is that as the defending champion, Liverpool should please the global audience.

But Situ Yunbing didn't care, he continued to accept criticism from the outside humbly after the game.

He said frankly: "Yes, we played a little conservatively. I admit this because this is an indisputable fact.

But we have many important players injured. As a coach, I have to weigh the team’s physical fitness and condition. We will have to play the Club World Cup in a month and a half. The outside world may not care about Liverpool’s schedule. Only we know it. Now We can no longer afford the risk of excessive consumption and attrition. "

After all, at this stage of the schedule, Liverpool still ranks third in the Premier League, which has not happened in the past four years.

It can be seen how fierce this year's Premier League competition is!

In another game of the same group, Porto beat Bruges 1-0 at home.

Liverpool directly advanced to the top 16 of the Champions League two rounds ahead of schedule, but did not secure the top spot in the group.

Because now Liverpool has 10 points.

Porto has 8 points.

Copenhagen only had 4 points.

And Bruges lost all four games, leading them out early.

Liverpool have a record advantage over Copenhagen, so even if Liverpool lose two games in a row and Copenhagen wins two games in a row, Liverpool will also be ahead of Copenhagen with the same points.

Liverpool, who returned to the league at the weekend, played at home against Watford.

The energetic Red Army finally played the championship style that the outside world wanted at home!

The overall formation is extremely oppressive, and the backcourt crazy counter-grab. As long as the counter-grab successfully launches a fast attack, Eriksson, Casemiro, Robertson, Azpilicueta will pass the ball directly to find the striker trident!

There is no need for excessive organizational adjustments.

This is the main change in Liverpool's technical and tactical adjustments this week.

Liverpool played a crushing effect on Watford at Anfield!

Mbappé's frequent anti-offside cuts seized many opportunities and kicked the evolutionary ball hat trick in the first and second half!

Vardy and Sane also made great achievements, and Eriksson had a long shot to score!

Although the defense also paid a certain price, Liverpool eventually defeated Watford 6-2!

The competitive situation in the Premier League is not only due to changes in strong teams, but also due to changes in a large number of mid- and downstream teams, both in terms of lineup and technical and tactical levels.

Situ Yunbing has fine-tuned the team's tactics more frequently than in the past few years!
