Chapter 697

Liverpool reached the last eight of the FA Cup and made great progress in the second half of the season!

The Champions League knockout 18 final arrived as scheduled.

Liverpool travel to Ukraine to challenge the Donetsk miners.

In the dressing room before the game, situ Yunbing, who was very energetic in suits and shoes, made a declaration of oath in the second half of the season!

When the players were ready to fight, situ Yunbing stood in the middle of the dressing room with one hand and spoke to everyone as usual.

"I have never defended the Champions League. In fact, after the reform of the Champions League, no team has done so.

Over the past 20 years, we have seen too many powerful teams, many of which have impressed us today.

For example, AC Milan, Juventus, Manchester United, Barcelona

But none of them could defend the title in the Champions League!

As the defending champion this season, we have the opportunity to break this spell and make a new history.

It's hard, of course, if it's simple, then a team has successfully defended the title.

This is like in school, if you are just an ordinary student, you need to make a lot of efforts to be at the top of the exam. When you do it, everyone around you will be surprised.

When you want to get full marks, other talents will be shocked and admire your efforts and performance, but those students who have been in the forefront before will also work harder to perform better and surpass you in the next exam.

So it is difficult to get full marks at one time, but it will be more difficult to get full marks in a row!

We are now at this stage. We have handed over nearly full marks in the past two years. Can we do it in the third year?

Outside, some people are watching, some are cursing and some are blessing, but our opponents must also be trying to snipe at us!

There are not many players who have been active in the Champions League for more than ten years, so for these players, they have 10 chances to become champions in their career and surround themselves with the highest honor.

Most players may only have 8, 6 or fewer such opportunities in their whole career!

I know that some of you have won the championship twice, but you must understand that you were successful when you won this honor for the first time, and you were in a brilliant stage when you won this honor for the second time, but when you became the champion with the highest reputation for the third time, this is your achievement, career achievement, if more, then, You are a legend, it has nothing to do with age, it only has to do with your performance and play, and the results you have achieved!

As Liverpool manager, I have won the Champions League three times and the Europa League once, but I am not satisfied. I will forget what I have won in the past at the beginning of each season.

As you can see, I am very young. I think when most other managers are my age, they will have more entertainment time, even indulgent madness.

But I didn't. apart from eating and sleeping, believe me, I invested far more time and energy in football than I did with my wife, who used to be my girlfriend.

I have dedicated my best years and most beautiful youth to football, which is already a part of my life, so I can't tolerate failure!

People say that I have been a great coach and legendary coach who rewrites the history of the Champions League and creates the Champions League record. For me, it's just a voice that will be forgotten after drinking a glass of wine to celebrate and then sleeping.

Otherwise?

I completely relaxed and let my opponent beat me down to see how miserable I died after being complacent?

Or leave this circle and retreat bravely?

Since I'm still here, I can only win!

I'm sure you are the same people as me. We have to win all the time!

Because this is our attitude towards football, this is the way we love football, and this is our role in the field of football: champion! "

Situ Yunbing's confession like pre match instruction did not give the players chicken blood.

Both the players and the coach listened carefully and nodded in response from time to time.

After situ Yunbing's voice fell, they all said in a deep voice: "champion!"

Then they looked at each other with firm eyes and serious expressions, and then said, "champion!"

Then it became everyone yelling with one voice: "champion!"

Situ Yunbing saw the passionate scene in the dressing room, with obvious pride in his eyes and nodded constantly.

......

Metalister stadium.

Donetsk miners' home fans have created a good momentum here.

They know that even if they have the advantage of home, the team will face the defending champion, so they must give the team more help and momentum.

Liverpool still can't come up with the strongest team today. Cantor and Eriksson are still recovering, but Liverpool's starting team is still strong enough to make any team in European football dare not underestimate, even if Liverpool fight away.

After more than two seasons of growth in Liverpool, telstegen can not be said to be the first in Europe, but at least the top three in Europe are OK.

Azpiliquetta has both attack and defense, which is also the bottom of the top three positions in Europe. Whether it is the first depends on the specific performance. The combination of Van Dijk and kulibali needs more time to prove the power of the combination, but Van Dijk is definitely the best central defender in Europe, and Robertson has been tempered for two years, Now I dare not compare it on the whole stage in Europe, but I'm afraid there is no better left back than him in the Premier League, especially in the old stage of Baines.

Most of the time, cassemero is not visible, but without him, people will realize his importance. It is almost difficult for Henderson to give him an accurate positioning in his progress, because he seems to be a moderate posture, but he also plays well under situ Yunbing. There is a sense of vision of Manchester United players in Ferguson's era, It doesn't look good to take it out alone, but it performs well in the team.

If Coutinho plays in the front waist, he is definitely the top three in the Premier League.

It goes without saying that Gareth bell, levandovsky and mbape are the best combination. Everton will speak more clearly about the power of the combination than Liverpool fans.

Donetsk miners can be regarded as a local tyrant team, at least in China.

They can attract players like tehera, sner, Luis Adriano, Freddy and Douglas Costa to play all year round. You know, Ukraine is not the favorite place for South American players. At least the climate here is not what they can adapt to quickly.

European football is also full of examples of excellent players who went to Ukraine or Russia to look for gold and ended up in Eastern Europe after two or three years.

Overall, the overall strength of Donetsk miners is not bad, and the strength of players is also good, but it is only limited to the level line that can be promoted in the Champions League group stage. If you play well, you can enter the top eight of the Champions League. If you don't play well, there is some suspension in the group stage.

Liverpool played steadily away from home and did not underestimate the enemy. After all, the temperature in Ukraine at night is almost 10 degrees lower than that in Britain!

Although situ Yunbing has great ambition, he will not despise any opponent.

Donetsk miners began to strengthen their offensive after defending Liverpool's slightly simple attack again and again.

In this way, they have exposed the weaknesses of the defence for Liverpool to take advantage of.

In the 41st minute of the game, after azpiliquetta's back court snatch was successful, Henderson's back court long pass directly instigated a fast attack. Levandovsky's middle header ferry found mbape on the side. The latter quickly crossed the ball and pushed all the way to the bottom. Gareth bell followed up quickly on the other side at the same time. When the two people were racing together, they gave the audience a very exciting visual shock, It seems that other players are obviously slowing down, and it seems that others can't run!

Because they are too fast!

When mbape went down to the side and quickly passed the ball, the goalkeeper found that he could not destroy the ball in the middle of the attack. After the limit shovel was about one meter short of the ball, the football rolled to the restricted area and was easily pushed into the empty goal by Gareth Bell who followed up in place!

Liverpool took the lead away from home!

When Gareth bell and mbape came together and clapped their hands, the Donetsk miners fans were shocked by their speed!

One left and one right, it's like a tornado blowing in metalister stadium!

After losing the ball, the Donetsk miners became conservative and avoided the same mistake of losing the ball.

The second half of the game was relatively dull. In the two rounds of the game, situ Yunbing would expect to get more away goals, but when the field and climate conditions in Eastern Europe were unfavorable to Liverpool, he also had to size up the situation and follow the trend.

After Liverpool failed to expand their lead 70 minutes ago, situ Yunbing began to replace. Sane and VALDI got the chance to play, and Steven Gerrard came on as a substitute in the last 10 minutes.

Liverpool's intention to strengthen defense is very clear. Donetsk miners accelerated the pace in the last 10 minutes, but they couldn't break through Liverpool's defense.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the Donetsk miners fans were slightly disappointed, but perhaps the score behind one goal did not declare the death penalty of Donetsk miners. They still have the theoretical possibility of turning over on the road, so they will not be completely discouraged.

But the European media understand that the Donetsk miners' Champions League trip is over!

Not to mention the strength of Liverpool in the Champions League, Liverpool has never lost any game at home since situ Yunbing took charge of the Red Army!

If the Donetsk miners want to advance, they must win at Anfield.

It's not easy?
