Chapter 505

In the 26th round of the league, Liverpool played West Brom at home.

Situ Yunbing is looking forward to a victory to enable the team to consolidate its advantages and start the European war in the second half of the season!

But what surprised situ Yunbing was that Liverpool's defence was blown up today!

To be exact, West Brom completed the defensive counterattack very well. On the basis of tough defense, they relied on lucaku, a young genius known as little Warcraft, to blow up Skrtel in the counterattack!

Lukaku made one contribution in the first half and one in the second half, while Liverpool played three footed goalposts and crossbars before falling two goals behind!

When the game came to 70 minutes, even some red army fans in the Anfield stands looked very pessimistic, thinking that the team's first home defeat of the season was about to be born!

But situ Yunbing actively deployed troops on the sidelines, changed the three guards, and went to another Waldi!

Gareth bell didn't have much room to play today. He was replaced in advance and Coutinho came on the stage.

After strengthening the long-range shooting and seizing some opportunities in the restricted area, Liverpool's indiscriminate bombing of West Brom in the last 20 minutes of the game showed a crazy momentum.

In the 83rd minute of the game, kutinho made a long-range shot from outside the restricted area, West Brom goalkeeper foster saved his hand, and Waldi made up a quick shot to put the ball into the goal!

Liverpool pulled back a goal.

One after another, Liverpool attacked the West Brom defence repeatedly in the hoarse cheers of the Red Army fans at Anfield.

When the game came to injury stoppage time, Suarez received the pick and pass of Mahrez in the restricted area and directly headed the ball to the middle area in front of the goal. Waldi first oblique inserted the guard Richwell, threw his head in front of the goal, and the football flew into the goal from above Foster's head!

Liverpool pressed the whistle to equalize the score!

All the Liverpool fans at the scene were very excited. When they expected the team to create a miracle of reversal, the referee sounded the whistle at the end of the game.

Situ Yunbing walked with a heavy face to shake hands with West Brom coach Clark after the game. For West Brom, a draw at Anfield can be regarded as a victory, but it is definitely a result that is difficult for most people to accept for Liverpool.

The problem is exposed a little. At present, situ Yunbing has no good solution. For example, Skrtel was blasted by Lukaku today, in fact, if you change to the guard of other giants, you will also have a moment when you play abnormally or can't prevent your opponent. No matter what the top guard does, there are no mistakes, because every player is human.

What big clubs do in defense is nothing more than improve fault tolerance.

Better defensive concept, stronger defensive system and defensive players with better personal ability can bring higher defensive fault tolerance rate.

Among Liverpool's centre backs, benatia has shown a gradual upward trend in recent years and has entered the ranks of Europe's top centre backs, but Skrtel and Agger have not. They are always a certain distance from the top ranks. If situ Yunbing wants to transform the defence line, he can only give benatia a good partner.

Liverpool's loss of points at home is tantamount to giving Manchester United a chance.

Manchester United also worked hard to beat Everton 2-0 at home and scored all three points!

Liverpool, 67 points.

Manchester United, 59 points.

The gap between the two teams was 12 points before the third round, but now it has become 8 points. Manchester United seems to have opened the door to reversal!

Situ Yunbing responded to Alan Hansen with a tough attitude before the game, which did not stop the "Liverpool famous player". Alan Hansen did not continue to make public comments on this topic, but other Liverpool famous players stood up again. John Barnes suggested that situ Yunbing should listen to his predecessors more, which would help his coaching.

Situ Yunbing was tired of this and didn't want to make any response.

After a long Valentine's day with Sigrid in Liverpool, situ Yunbing led the team to St. Petersburg, Russia. The first leg of the Europa League 116 final is about to start.

It's still cold to go to Moscow in mid February. In the pre match report of this game, Alonzo's suggestion is: go all out!

He explained in detail in his report that this away game is likely to determine whether Liverpool can advance to the next round.

If Liverpool want to lose in the first leg and return to the home court in the second leg, then their visit to Anzhi in the group stage is enough to give enough warning!

Their main opponent is not how strong ZenI is in St. Petersburg. Of course, they are not weak, but what bothers Liverpool is the physical changes caused by the local cold weather and the adjustment of jet lag.

Compared with playing away games from Britain to Germany, Spain, Italy, France and other countries, the expedition from Britain to Russia has a long time span and heavy travel consumption.

Therefore, if situ Yunbing has an idea about the Europa League Cup, there must be no reservation of strength on the road!

Because it is likely that Zenit in St Petersburg will do his best to defeat Liverpool at home, making it very difficult for Liverpool to turn over even if they return home!

After careful consideration, situ Yunbing made a decision and took the main force of the whole army to St. Petersburg!

Even three days later, they will fight against Everton in the FA Cup!

Situ Yunbing, who led Liverpool on a low-key expedition, couldn't help shivering when the plane landed in St. Petersburg.

I can't imagine it's still snowing here!

With the experience of visiting Anzhi in the group stage, the Liverpool generals were ready before coming to St. Petersburg, but in fact, some main players did not come at that time. The weather in Britain was not good. Because Liverpool was a port city, it was slightly better, at least much better than London.

But when they came to St. Petersburg, they all seemed a little depressed. The bad cold weather restricted everyone's excitement.

Zenit in St. Petersburg is not an easy team to deal with. At least they have hawk and Dani in the front line. It may not be enough to impress them in the top field in Europe, but at their home, Zenit in St. Petersburg can't be ignored.

Dressed in a warm coat, situ Yunbing, standing at the St. Petersburg stadium directing the competition, felt that his nose was a little cold blue, which made him cover his hands in front of his mouth and nose from time to time to warm his nose.

Liverpool attack away from home, do their best, and still play a very utilitarian defensive counterattack. Situ Yunbing wants the result, not training, so the tactical choice will focus on the result!

Saint Petersburg Zenit's former Roma coach Luciano Spalletti. He didn't let Saint Petersburg Zenit launch a fierce attack on Liverpool, perhaps because he was afraid of the Premier League giants.

Liverpool's overall state is flat, and many advantages can't be brought into play. The overall response of the team seems to have decreased a lot. Situ Yunbing has some psychological preparation for this.

However, Zenit in St. Petersburg can hardly do anything in front of Liverpool's intensive defense. Hawk's impact is very strong, but Zenit in St. Petersburg's overall creativity is not high, and there is no advantage of being better in technical and tactical play, which has plunged the game into a stalemate for a long time.

Until the 71st minute of the second half, Liverpool got a good free kick at the front of the opponent's restricted area.

Steven Gerrard took the penalty and hit the ball into the upper right corner of the goal with a powerful volley!

The Red Army captain's direct free kick broke the deadlock and balance of the game!

After the team scored, situ Yunbing didn't relax first. Instead, he arranged the team to change the playing method and let them take a more rigorous attitude. Only bell and Suarez were left in front to fight back.

Zenit in St. Petersburg began to attack wildly. In fact, whether Liverpool scored or not, they will attack Liverpool's defense at full speed in the last 20 minutes!

Because they know that if they want to advance to the next round, they must win their opponents at home!

Under the pressure of Zenit's full attack in St. Petersburg, Liverpool showed extraordinary calm and teamwork ability, repeatedly curbed the threat attack of the other party, and when the game was about to enter injury stoppage time, Liverpool caught the defense flaw of the other party and made a quick counter attack!

Suarez finished the passing and cutting cooperation with Gareth bell after pushing the offensive to the dangerous area in the front field. He changed the direction of the ball to wipe the other defender Leto on the restricted area line, and then calmly pushed the ball into the goal in the lower left corner of the goal!

Suarez's goal made situ Yunbing very excited. For a moment, he even felt hot and dispelled all the cold!

The Zenit generals in St. Petersburg are helpless. Liverpool's dense defensive formation makes them helpless. They can't penetrate the door of Liverpool with all their skills!

After the whistle sounded at the end of the game, situ Yunbing breathed a sigh of relief. After shaking hands with Spalletti after the game, he gestured to the disciples on the sidelines to make sure they didn't stay too much in the field. They should strive for time to return to Liverpool as soon as possible!

Three days later, there is an FA Cup game waiting for them, and a week later, Zenit in St. Petersburg will return to Anfield.

The Europa League knockout is a match between the top 32, which is one more round than the knockout of the Champions League.

If you count the Europa League qualifier, Liverpool played a total of 10 games in the qualifier and group stage, including 11 games today!

The frequency of the schedule is beyond imagination!

But it is this frequent schedule that gives Liverpool enough training stage and space.

The knockout match with Zenit in St. Petersburg was the most difficult in the first round. Now situ Yunbing completed the game with the main team. The next round will rely on the substitute team. He can't consume the main team too much in the Europa League.

At least in the context of the uncertain situation of the league championship, it is not wise to invest too much in other battlefields.
