Chapter 1073

In Manchester, Guardiola sat in his living room and watched the game live on TV.

FA Cup semi-final, Liverpool vs Southampton.

Even if the game has no nutrition, Guardiola is still staring at the TV.

No one outside knows that Guardiola has not fallen behind Liverpool in any game since 2018.

If Manchester City and Liverpool didn't play at the same time, he would watch it live on TV.

If the two teams play at the same time, when he comes home after the game, he will watch the replay of Liverpool's game for the first time.

This is the most closely watched team in his coaching career!

No one!

Because he's been losing, that's all.

From his coaching in Barcelona to Bayern Munich and now Manchester City, he has lost to situ Yunbing.

He drew with situ Yunbing in the first leg of the league this season, but it was Manchester City's home.

It is rare for Manchester to have a good weather today, but his mood is especially heavy.

Manchester City's opponents in the next two rounds of the league are West Ham United and Huddersfield. It should be no problem to win these two opponents, but he will not take them lightly.

Liverpool's next two rounds are Stoke City and Chelsea.

Stoke City has a high probability of not being able to snipe Liverpool. The key lies in Chelsea!

Now Manchester City are three points behind Liverpool. If they want to end the game and have a decisive battle at Anfield, Manchester City must also narrow the point gap.

If you don't watch the Premier League audience or fans this season, it's hard to imagine that when Manchester City has 75 goals difference, Liverpool has 85 goals difference!

This means that if Liverpool and Manchester City win the next two rounds of the league, there is only a theoretical level for Manchester City to win the title!

Even if he knew that the efforts of the past six months might be in vain, Guardiola did not give up the idea of continuing to follow and observe Liverpool's performance.

He tried to find Liverpool's weaknesses in the details and the point where Manchester City could create a surprise threat.

He silently prepared for the final showdown. Maybe it would be a showdown that would not appear!

But his faith never wavered!

......

At Villa Park, when glitzmann scored twice to help Liverpool secure the victory, situ Yunbing got up from the coach's seat and walked to the sideline to applaud.

The Red Army fans cheered with great excitement. They will go to the new Wembley Stadium again to compete for the championship!

At the end of the game, Liverpool beat Southampton 3-0 at Villa Park.

Southampton can concentrate on relegation, and Liverpool's four line attack still maintains a strong state.

When situ Yunbing left Villa Park by car, he looked at the darkening sky outside. There was a trace of sunset in the distance, especially gorgeous.

Situ Yunbing silently calculated that there are three rounds left in the league and there is a final in the FA Cup. If the Champions League is only a semi-final, two rounds are two games. If the semi-final passes, there will be another Champions League final!

He has only had six or seven last games in charge of Liverpool!

There is no doubt that the season has entered the final decisive stage!

He was not sad at all, but excited, so he looked at the sunset in the distance and showed a charming smile.

He came in obscurity and will go down in history when he goes!

......

The grudge between Liverpool and Real Madrid can be called the Champions League history of European football in the past five years!

Three Champions League finals and two Champions League semi-finals, Liverpool seems to have conquered Real Madrid these days!

This makes many media have begun to crown the "European Derby" between Liverpool and Real Madrid Your title!

Because Liverpool and Real Madrid have won the Champions League 18 times!

Nine for each team!

Can be called the king of Europe!

Liverpool are preparing for the Champions League semi-final step by step. Before leaving, situ Yunbing also studied the recent state and situation of Real Madrid.

To be honest, Real Madrid seems to be going downhill.

Barcelona finished the League at the weekend and won the title four rounds in advance!

Real Madrid won the league title last season and this season was robbed by Barcelona.

Real Madrid have lost six games in the league this season, and their defense is not ideal.

Barcelona lost 20 goals in the 34th round of the league and Atletico Madrid, second in the league, lost 18 goals.

What about Real Madrid?

They lost 39!

Lose more than one ball per game.

This is not a good-looking data.

After the new year, it is said that Zidane will finish class at any time, but with the passing of the Champions League, Zidane's shaky handsome position can sit more stable. After all, he is a person valued by Florentino.

If Zidane wants to continue to coach Real Madrid, the Champions League this season is his last straw.

On Tuesday evening, before Liverpool were ready to go, situ Yunbing attended the pre match press conference as usual.

European media swarmed in.

When situ Yunbing, dressed in a suit and shoes, entered the news hall, the reporters in the audience were ready to ask questions and listen.

After sitting down, situ Yunbing smiled, waved to everyone and said: "today's schedule is a little tight, so let's make a long story short. Tomorrow night we will challenge Real Madrid at the Bernabeu stadium. This is the first leg of the Champions League semi-final. Do you have any questions?"

First, a reporter asked situ Yunbing: "in your coaching career, you met Real Madrid many times in the Champions League. Now the Spanish media admit that you are not only the nemesis of Real Madrid, but also the nemesis of Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, and even the nemesis of Spanish football. What do you think?"

Situ Yunbing laughed, shook his head and said, "it's too much to say that he is the nemesis, but the team I coach is strong.

I want to make it clear that people will say that the Premier League team is also strong in Europe because Liverpool have won the Champions League in the past four years.

In fact, I don't think so, because when I evaluate the competitiveness of a league team in Europe, I won't completely see who the champion is. Just like in those years ten years ago, no one didn't recognize that the Premier League was strong, but the Premier League team only won the Champions League in 2005 and 2008, but in those years, at least three of the four participating teams in the Premier League will appear in the top eight of the Champions League, Even regular visitors to the top four of the Champions League.

This is the embodiment of the strength of the Premier League.

Now, I think Liverpool is the strongest team in the Premier League, and it also represents that the Premier League has achieved good results in Europe. But if you want to say which league team is more competitive in the Champions League, I think it is La Liga.

In the past few years, La Liga teams have always been able to have at least three teams in the top eight of the Champions League and at least two teams in the top four.

They are really powerful in this era.

So that's why my team always meets three strong teams in La Liga, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid.

This is the essence of the Champions League. This is not a stage with cold miracles every day. This is the peak duel of the strong. After entering the knockout, especially after the top eight, if you want to take another step forward, you must show stronger strength and make more efforts.

In this regard, Liverpool and the three strong teams in La Liga are similar. We are all strong and good at playing knockout games.

This year's situation is somewhat different. Arsenal has also joined the top four of the Champions League. It may be a signal that the Premier League team will become strong again in Europe. No one is sure about the future. "

Then a reporter asked: "Liverpool and Real Madrid have played so many times in the past few years, and they are all in key games. Does this mean that Liverpool have a lot of experience in restraining Real Madrid. Based on your familiarity and understanding of them, it will make your preparation very easy?"

Situ Yunbing still shook his head and said with a smile: "I have fully studied the matches of Real Madrid in the last two months in the past few days. I think I still don't know much about the technical and tactical style of Real Madrid. Just like the Spanish media can't define Real Madrid, they sometimes behave very utilitarian, People can see the shadow of Carlo Ancelotti or Mourinho when they are in charge, and sometimes they can play a beautiful team cooperation, which makes people think whether Zidane has exerted magic on this team.

But sometimes this team looks like a team with Ronaldo carrying forward alone.

So do you want to ask me if I know Real Madrid?

I don't understand.

As for beating Real Madrid in the past, it doesn't mean we can beat Real Madrid tomorrow night.

Successful experience?

I don't think there is such an experience in the football world.

Just like I can't prepare to tell my players how to score goals and absolutely beat Real Madrid!

What we need to do is to give full play to our own characteristics. There will always be a tug of war in the contest. Establish an advantage in this tug of war. Can we score? I'm afraid God doesn't know. Levandovsky may have hit too hard when he shot a key shot, or the turf slipped and lost control of his feet. Anything can happen.

This is the charm of football!

If you want to win the game, you don't rely on the experience of beating your opponent in the past, because the opponent is changing and we are also changing. It depends more on the overall state of the on-the-spot game and many uncontrollable factors.

But I have confidence in Liverpool because we are no worse than Real Madrid in terms of cards

Finally, the reporter asked situ Yunbing whether there were uncertain factors for the personnel of Liverpool this time.

Situ Yunbing frankly replied: "at present, there are no uncertain factors. We can take our ideal players to Madrid, Spain. As long as there are no accidents before the game, you can arrange our starting lineup for me."

After he said this, the reporters looked at each other and smiled bitterly backstage.

In recent years, no one dares to predict situ Yunbing's starting lineup, because he will have some unexpected arrangements in key games from time to time.

The same is true of the Champions League finals over the past four years.
