811 The old self

"Aisu.com" access address

It seemed a bit surprising that Ghent was able to win the second place in the group to advance to the Champions League quarterfinals, but looking at their opponents in the group stage, they felt relieved.

Valencia, Lyon, Saint Petersburg Zenit.

The strength gap between the four teams is not big, so it is normal for anyone who advances in this group to reach the market.

Liverpool has good luck in signing, and it basically feels like he is going to be in the quarterfinals of the Champions League when he draws Ghent.

But no competition should be taken lightly.

When he was a guest in Belgium to challenge Ghent in the round, Situ Yunbing's lineup surprised everyone!

He used the lineup that slaughtered Aston Villa away last weekend!

Before the game, the pre-war mobilization was passionately presented in the locker room, making this lineup composed of young players and substitutes full of fighting spirit.

If Gent wants to advance, he must at least win at home. After all, it is not something they can do to defeat Liverpool at Anfield.

If they can create miracles, they will have to beat Liverpool at home, try to get a draw away or lose less as a win, and eventually eliminate Liverpool with the total score!

This will definitely be a shocking upset.

When Ghent fans, their coaches and players see Liverpool sending such a lineup to fight, no one will think that Liverpool is here to die.

But they ignited more hope!

At least Liverpool doesn't look that strong.

And the main players sitting on the bench in Liverpool were a little panicked!

Lewandowski couldn't help but whisper to Gareth Bale, "Have we done something wrong?"

Gareth Bale shook his head, then nodded and said, "Maybe it was the game that tied Sunderland."

Lewandowski frowned and said, "Boss performed very calmly after that game, and he was not angry."

Gareth Bale shrugged: "I can't be sure, but I think if there is any problem, it must be that game."

Assistant coach Gerald leaned out and said seriously to the two: "Watch the game seriously, you may appear at any time, you are absent-minded!"

The two stopped whispering and watched the battle seriously.

Even though Ghent had hope, he still performed very cautiously at home.

Liverpool's offensive creativity has declined when playing such a key game. Fortunately, Sane and Mbappe's individual advancement ability is still strong!

Liverpool is still able to create threats on the scene, but overall it does not have much advantage.

Situ Yunbing supervised the battle with sharp eyes on the sidelines, reminding the players to improve their running position and offense and defense changes.

Van Dijk and Coolibali are still players. With midfielder Gondotz being frequently pierced, the two played a key role and continued to resolve the threat from Ghent's offense.

The showdown in this game is not like Liverpool's usual state when Situ Yunbing was in command. In the past year or more, whether Liverpool was difficult or easy in the game, Situ Yunbing only observed the game, judged the situation, and adjusted the midfield most of the time.

But today he directed the game as if he had returned three or five years ago. No movement could escape his eyes, and he would make timely adjustment instructions based on the situation on the field!

Although the team's offense and defense quality is not as high as that of the main team's game, everyone's efforts and investment are unprecedented. Even spectators will have a momentum due to Liverpool's current state!

Before the end of the first half, Mbappe cooperated with Arnold in the frontcourt to break through Ghent's wing defense. After cutting inside and hitting the right rib of the penalty area, Mbappe kicked the ball to the back point of the goal with a pass. The goalkeeper thought the football would get out of the way, but unexpectedly, Sane rushed to the ball and shot and sent the ball into the near corner of the goal!

Liverpool leads with one goal away!

Situ Yunbing raised his arms and shouted on the sidelines!

While applauding and celebrating the goals, the Reds' generals on the bench also became solemn.

During the intermission, Situ Yunbing made meticulous adjustments and then encouraged the team's morale.

In the second half, the two teams changed sides and fought again, Liverpool's offense became more direct, focusing on the singles ability of Sane and Mbappe!

The game scene was still intense, and Ghent used all his strength but failed to break through Liverpool's goal. In the 77th minute of the game, Sane's breakthrough on the left created a crisis in the defense line. After he drifted lightning into the penalty area from the outside, several Ghent defenders rushed towards him to encircle him. Sane passed the ball from the cracks to the middle of the goal.

Vardy did not choose to shoot the first time, but stopped the ball and wiped it over the defender to block it, and then pushed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal!

Situ Yunbing smiled and applauded Vardy's goal, then turned around and walked towards the coach's seat, allowing Lewandowski, Gareth Bale, and Coutinho to warm up to prepare for the show.

He has not made a substitution before, and now the game is almost time to enter garbage time. Maybe if it is another big-name star, he will definitely feel resentful, but in the face of Situ Yunbing's order, no one dares to show any dissatisfaction.

Situ Yunbing replaced Mbappe, Valdi and Gondozi.

Ghent was desperate to score a goal, but Liverpool secured the victory 5 minutes before the end of the game!

Gareth Bale, who came on as a substitute, assisted Sane to score in the counterattack.

Liverpool beat Ghent 3:0 away!

After winning this victory, it is basically stable to enter the Champions League quarterfinals!

When Situ Yunbing was interviewed after the game, the reporter kept asking him why he placed all the big Liverpool players on the bench.

Situ Yunbing smiled and said, "We won a 3:O victory. This is the most important thing. Is it important for who will play?

The team is the first, and the rest are all at the back.

I am the head coach of Liverpool. I have to be responsible to the board of directors and to all Reds fans. My mission is to lead the team to victory.

In my opinion, Liverpool no longer has the difference between a main player and a substitute. I have said before that every player in the first team has its own value!

Whoever can bring victory to Liverpool should appear on the court, not who has a greater reputation and who seems to be stronger should appear, isn't it?"

Situ Yunbing's words caused a stir after the game!

Fleet Street claims that "Situ Yunbing is crazy!"

He is reducing the status of most Liverpool's main players!

The backbone of the locker room will inevitably feel dissatisfied!

However, the outside world may underestimate Situ Yunbing's control over the team.

He did not rely on tyranny!

The players may have opinions about him, but they will not be able to make a fuss.

The Liverpool locker room interprets Situ Yunbing's remarks as their own.

They had a dinner at a local high-end restaurant in Liverpool, and then expressed their opinions and expressed their own opinions.

Casemiro said bluntly: "I can feel that Boss is disappointed with us, but he can't scold us. Think about it, we all have so many championships, how could he treat us as newcomers who have just entered the professional arena?"

Kante said, “I agree, although I don’t understand why he was angry because we didn’t beat Sunderland?

We can't keep winning. Isn't it normal to have a game or two not winning?"

Lewandowski shook his head and said, "This is not a normal or abnormal problem. Maybe he thinks we are lazy and we no longer have the concentration we used to be!"

Azpilicueta spread his hands and said, "I think we have entered a period of fatigue. Perhaps only the strongest opponent can make us full of strength again!"

Van Dijk asked with a smile: "What kind of opponent is the strongest opponent?"

Real Madrid? They were beaten so hard that they couldn't find North!

Barcelona? We just proved stronger than them eight months ago!

But meeting them again will indeed make us full of fighting spirit, but we are not a La Liga team!

Don't tell me Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Tottenham are our strongest opponents. I forgot when the last time I lost to them. The key is, have we lost to them?"

Everyone laughed.

Gareth Bell, who had been silent, said: "I don't think Boss gave up on us, he was just making our own choices.

Listen to what he said.

Whoever can win the game is his.

Isn't this clear enough?

It has nothing to do with strength, honor, status!

Haven't you realized that a big crisis is surrounding us?

If Liverpool wins every next game, if we are all on the bench in these victories, can you imagine the consequences?”

Gareth Bell's words seemed to freeze the air around him!

Everyone looked at each other, and Lewandowski frowned and said, "No way?!"

Gareth Bale sighed: "What won't be? Is Liverpool not keep winning, or are we not always sitting on the bench?

Unfortunately, these two points are definitely not possible for other coaches to have at the same time, but it is the boss. Who dares to say that he cannot lead the team without us to continue to win and keep winning?

Don’t forget that we have all experienced such times. Some are relatively long, like me, five years ago, and some are relatively close. One or two years ago, we all came here, cultivated by the boss, and brought out through victory after victory!

Among the coaches you know, who has the most courage to reform the team?

You must have all the answers, I think we are thinking of the same person.

Of course, who else can be there besides boss?!

So our crisis is actually right in front of us. When we are looking for the strongest opponent, our opponent is actually right next to us!

Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Tottenham Hotspur are not worth mentioning!

But what about those who took our place in Liverpool jerseys to win on the court in the past two games?

When we sit on the bench, do we have an illusion that we have seen it somewhere?

That's what we used to be!"

As soon as Gareth Bale finished speaking, Lewandowski got up and put on his windbreaker.

"where you go?"

Kante shouted.

Lewandowski said lightly: "Go home to sleep and train tomorrow."
