After Liverpool eliminated Basel 4:2 and advanced to the quarterfinals of the UEFA Cup, anyone can see that Situ Yunbing intends to win the UEFA Cup championship this season!

Now it is no longer a question of whether to train or not. Liverpool has only two fronts left in the season, one in the league and the other in the Europa League!

Liverpool's reversal of Basel was praised by the outside world, after all, it was also supporting the game for English football, especially after Real Madrid eliminated Manchester United in the Champions League.

Situ Yunbing led the team step by step, and the sprint for the final stage of the season has begun!

In mid-March, Liverpool led the team to challenge Southampton and fought with Pochettino again. Situ Yunbing prepared for the game very seriously.

But at Saints Southampton's home court, Pochettino gave Situ Yunbing an unexpected impact!

At present, Liverpool's obvious weakness is Robertson's point. It is natural for Liverpool to strengthen its defense protection on his side in defense.

But Pochettino did not deliberately attack Robertson in this confrontation, but instead asked the team's attack group to focus on Scotter's defense zone!

15 minutes before the game, Liverpool's defense suffered heavy blows twice, and Ritchie Lambert scored two goals on the top of his head and kicked in the Scotter defense zone!

Southampton's blitz worked very well!

Liverpool was a little confused!

Pochettino really left a deep impression on Situ Yunbing!

Larana, Rodriguez and Lambert attacked Scotter a little dizzy.

Situ Yunbing shook his head slightly on the sidelines. This was indeed a manifestation of Pochettino's wisdom. It was surprising that Robertson did not fight and instead attacked Scotter.

Liverpool must first stabilize its position, and Southampton also strengthens its defense after leading two goals.

Pochettino is a pragmatic coach. At this time, he does not think about expanding the victory, but uses his current leading advantage to patiently wait for the opportunity.

Liverpool's offensive investment is not large due to concerns about defense, and they do not have an advantage in physical fitness after the battle with Basel in the middle of the week, especially today they are still playing away.

The subsequent trend of the game was a bit dull. Situ Yunbing actively helped the team enrich their offensive methods and means on the sidelines, long shots, breakthroughs, and more coordinated cooperation in the team. It cannot be said that it has no effect, but it is still a bit short of time to score.

It is an indisputable fact that Southampton is in good shape today.

When the game came to the second half, Situ Yunbing took the initiative to substitution. After Coutinho came on the court, he helped the team to instigate a more threatening offensive in the frontcourt.

In the 64th minute of the game, Coutinho responded to Sterling's pass in front of the penalty area and pierced Southampton's goal!

It's the world wave again!

Liverpool's morale was greatly boosted, but at the critical moment of the counterattack wave, Southampton seized a counterattack opportunity and rushed from the right. This time, Robertson made a mistake in prediction and was rashly robbed, but was easily passed and broken. In the end, Lambert acted as a fulcrum in the penalty area to create an opportunity for Larana who was inserted behind. Larana scored a goal with one kick and sent the ball into the goal!

Ter Stegen did not perform well today and did not perform as expected.

Liverpool fell behind two goals again, with less than 15 minutes left in the game.

Pochettino decisively substituted to strengthen the defense, just defended to the death and never allowed Liverpool to score another goal!

Situ Yunbing also dispatched troops to try to counterattack and turn the tables.

But in the last 10 minutes, the two teams fell into a fierce stalemate, and no one scored another goal in the end.

Liverpool was defeated by Saints Annampton 1:3 away!

Situ Yunbing shook hands with Pochettino after the game, congratulations to the other side on his victory. He must admit that Pochettino performed better than him today, and Southampton also performed better than Liverpool!

Only by realizing this will you not make the same mistake next time.

Situ Yunbing praised Southampton in an interview after the game, and then said that with eight rounds left in the league, Liverpool no longer has room to lose points!

In this round, Manchester United faced Reading at home. With Rooney's final victory, Manchester United scored 3 points 1:0 without any danger.

At the end of the 30th round of the league, Liverpool's advantage over Manchester United became 7 points.

Liverpool, 76 points.

Manchester United, 69 points.

......

With the arrival of the Fifa match day in March, Situ Yunbing did not give himself a holiday, but continued to devote himself to the work of studying the opponents in the schedule.

In the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup, Liverpool's opponent is Benfica. Liverpool must make better preparations to have hope of getting the ideal result at the lowest cost.

After the Fifa match day, Liverpool players returned to the team and challenged Aston Villa on the weekend, and faced Benfica at home in the middle of next week. Situ Yunbing performed some rotations in this league, giving players who consumed a lot of rest in the national team game, and also allowing players who traveled to and from South America to quit.

Although his opponent Aston Villa is not strong, the game has become relatively difficult because Liverpool has reservations.

Although the forward velocity impact force composed of Vardy, Gareth Bale and Sterling is very strong, its finishing ability has decreased.

The midfielder composed of Coutinho, Erikson and Lucas is an offensive organization with no doubt about creativity, but the defense is somewhat unreliable.

There is no change in the back line and goalkeeper, and they are both regular main players.

Aston Villa's impact on Robertson can still bring trouble to Liverpool's defense. With Benteke's impact, Liverpool's game was not easy.

The situation is relatively stalemate, and the later the season, the more difficult the game will be, because most teams will have very clear goals, especially those that are about relegation or hit European seats, which is definitely a difficult task.

Aston Villa is just about to relegate!

If there is anything that Liverpool has today’s advantage, it is only on the psychological level.

Aston Villa wants to relegate, 3 points are pursuits, and 1 point is not enough to change the status quo. Moreover, Liverpool retained its strength today, which can be regarded as giving them a chance.

It is this mentality that Aston Villa did not defend the Villa Park Stadium with all his might!

In the 42nd minute of the game, Coutinho made a goal for Eriksen. The latter's shot on the penalty area was blocked by goalkeeper Guzan. Then Garez Bale controlled the ball in front of the penalty area. Faced with the encirclement of several players, Garez Bale transferred the ball to the right, Sterling stopped the ball from the right and adjusted it before sending a cross.

Vardy scored a cushion in front of the goal and sent the ball into the goal!

Aston Villa generals complained that Vardy was offside, but the lineman said nothing.

Liverpool took the lead before the midfield ended.

Not long after the second half began, Aston Villa equalized the score with Benteke's header in the set-piece offense!

The game returned to a relatively stalemate stage. It was not until the 79th minute of the game that Gareth Bale cut the free-cut penalty area in the frontcourt and received a wonderful pass from Coutinho from the middle of the penalty area and calmly pushed the ball into the near corner of the goal, which helped Liverpool lead the score again.

Situ Yunbing immediately made substitutions to strengthen defense and control.

After Liverpool replaced Gerald and Casemiro, their defensive level suddenly improved. Aston Villa tried to counterattack but had no point of effort, and finally lost to Liverpool 1:2 at home.

After winning a difficult victory, Situ Yunbing felt relieved.

The current situation is that any loss may lead to a turning point in the season. In fact, Situ Yunbing has no way out!

Because the league is the first priority, once Liverpool is shortened by Manchester United in the league to within 6 points, that is, within the gap between the two winning games, Situ Yunbing will decisively give up the Europa League!

Make every effort to keep the league!

So it is conceivable that if Liverpool draws one game in the league and Manchester United wins, the points gap between the two teams will be only 5 points left!

Now is a critical and sensitive moment. Situ Yunbing cannot hesitate at any time and is ready to change his strategy decisively as the situation changes.

Once he can't keep up with the pace, hesitation may ruin the entire season!

Manchester United also had a hard time winning away in this round, and they defeated Sunderland 1-0 with Van Persie's final victory at Stadium Light.

Manchester United's recent wins are relatively pragmatic. Some games that don't look good in appearances, but people can always stand up and seize sporadic opportunities to completely change the results!

This may be the magic of Manchester United, or perhaps their background in the era of the Premier League.

But it is undeniable that Manchester United and Liverpool are now walking on thin ice!

At the end of the 31st round of the league, Liverpool's advantage over Manchester United is still 7 points.

Liverpool, 79 points.

Manchester United, 72 points.

......

7 rounds, 7 points.

Manchester United is going to reverse Liverpool with a 7-point gap. Many media on Fleet Street have suggested that Liverpool give up the UEFA Cup to ensure that they can compete for the first Premier League championship in team history with the greatest probability!

This is the same as the argument of Liverpool legends before.

Situ Yunbing chose to ignore it.

He has his own plan.

Of course, he also knows that if he decisively gave up the Europa League and went all out to the league, as long as he won the league championship, he would definitely be a success this season!

But whether it is the future construction of Liverpool or the challenge of his 5-year 13 championships, he must grit his teeth and fight at this time!

The danger is that it may be a mess, but football competition itself does not have a sure strategy, tactics, games, etc.

Football has never been a mathematical formula, it is full of uncertainties!

Faced with the current situation, strong will, brave spirit, and a clear mind.

Situ Yunbing is not a stubborn man who wants to compete for the championship in multiple lines. If things cannot be done, he will stop his horse!

Now he will not be disturbed by the outside world, everything will follow his plan.
Chapter completed!
