Liverpool faces Swansea at home midweek, and the League Cup 1/8 finals start.

Situ Yunbing rotated personnel. Teams like Swansea certainly don't have much ambitions in the league, or even if they give more, it will be difficult to enter the European arena. The local cup is the battlefield they hope to achieve success.

The substitute lineup of Liverpool is led by captain Gerald. Although the overall combat quality at Anfield Stadium is not particularly high, its combat effectiveness is still very good. After wasting a lot of opportunities, Vardy finally scored with an assist from Sane!

Swansea caught up in the second half and tied the score in the 68th minute of the game. Liverpool only scored a shot outside the penalty area and scored a victory after Gerald scored a goal outside the penalty area. Liverpool once again defeated his opponent and won a victory!

Although it is difficult to win Liverpool's recent game, it finally won!

This is a good phenomenon.

After Liverpool advanced to the quarterfinals of the League Cup, Van Dijk returned from injury.

Liverpool went to Northeast England to challenge Newcastle United on the weekend.

The cold rain in late autumn is particularly cold. Situ Yunbing stood in the rain to command the team's game. He thought the most stable link Van Dijk showed a very bad state in this game. It seems that he could not immediately recover to a better state after returning from injury. Instead, Kulibali frequently fills up the defense to help Liverpool resolve the danger.

In the cold wind and rain, Liverpool's overall condition is not good, especially players like Gareth Bale and Mahrez who rely on speed or skills will make more mistakes.

When the game ended, the two teams were shaken hands and made peace in the 1:1 score, and no one could do anything to rewrite the score in the last 25 minutes.

The weather and venue factors may be an excuse for Liverpool to fail to score 3 points, but Situ Yunbing still resented Van Dijk's condition did not recover.

Of course, he would not criticize Van Dijk publicly or privately, but would give him more time and game time to get back to shape.

When returning on the plane, Situ Yunbing came to Van Dijk. The relationship between the two from Hamburg to Liverpool was naturally unquestionable.

Van Dijk's determination to follow Situ Yunbing to serve is also a testament to the world, so there is no need to say more pretentious or polite words.

Situ Yunbing sat beside him and whispered: "We will face Chelsea at home next weekend. Tell me, can I trust you?"

Van Dijk also knew that he performed very poorly at St. James Park, and the team's only goal conceded was directly related to his clearing mistake.

Van Dijk said in a deep voice with a firm look on his face: "Boss, I can definitely be trusted."

Situ Yunbing nodded slightly, stood up and left.

He doesn't need Van Dijk to make a statement, he must do anything to Chelsea, but since Van Dijk has made his own guarantee, he trusts his players.

This does not mean that Van Dijk must give a clear answer. If he has any inconvenience or his own hesitation, he can fully publicize it with Situ Yunbing. This is how Situ Yunbing communicates with the players.

As he has told players countless times, if you feel unwell and cannot play, and say it as soon as possible, it will not change the player's position in Situ Yunbing's mind, but to better protect the interests of the players and the team.

Liverpool will also be away for Zenit, St. Petersburg, and will play Chelsea again when they come back on the weekend. Although it is home, it is a big test for Liverpool.

In the 11th round of the Premier League, Liverpool drew 1:1 with Newcastle United, but Chelsea won the Queens Park Rangers 2:1 at home, and Arsenal defeated Burnley 3:0 at home.

The most popular game was played at the Etihad Stadium, and Manchester City defeated Manchester United 1-0 with Aguero's final victory!

Liverpool just narrowed the gap with Chelsea in the last round, and once again trailed by 3 points a week later.

Liverpool went to Russia in the middle of the week, and Situ Yunbing left Gareth Bale, Eriksen and Casemiro in Liverpool this time.

St. Petersburg Zenit remains second in the group, as Monaco drew with Benfica in the last round.

The current situation is that Liverpool is ranked first in the group, leading second place by 5 points and third place by 6 points, so Liverpool has sufficient fault tolerance to rotate.

After coming to the home court of Zenit in St. Petersburg, Boas's face suddenly turned pale when he saw Liverpool's starting lineup after appearance.

He looked at Situ Yunbing, who was calm in the coach's seat, and his heart was filled with resentment!

It was as if Situ Yunbing's contempt for him was presented to the whole world!

Liverpool starts 433 today

Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.

Defenders: Arnold, Cooley Barry, Scotter, Robertson.

Midfielder: Henderson, Kanter, Gerald.

Forwards: Mbappe, Valdi, Sane.

There is actually a 16-year-old Arnold in Liverpool team who has just turned 16 and Mbappe, who is still one month away from being 16 years old!

Is this a contempt for Zenit, St. Petersburg?

Maybe.

This is the Champions League!

Not a fucking league cup!

In Russia, Boas's heart is even colder!

After the game began, he ordered the team to launch a strong attack on Liverpool.

But in the 11th minute of the game, Sane almost broke through the opponent's goal through a counterattack opportunity. His one-on-one chance ended up shooting the plane!

The danger in front of the door made St. Petersburg Zenit wake up and dare not underestimate the enemy and advance recklessly!

To play Chelsea on the weekend, Situ Yunbing should try his best to ensure that the team can handle the game well in terms of physical fitness and condition. For example, key player Azpilicueta sat on the bench, so that he could retain his strength to deal with Hazard on the weekend.

Liverpool came to the away game and played a defensive counterattack without any aggressive move. If he could score 1 point away, Situ Yunbing would be satisfied.

At the same time, he also achieved the goal of training Arnold and Mbappe.

The pace of the game is relatively slow, and both teams are tightly tied to the fence, making it rare to see exciting scenes of the game.

When the second half of the game was 55 minutes, Situ Yunbing replaced Scotter with Van Dijk, trying to get Van Dijk to restore his form through the game.

It has to be said that the intensity of the Premier League is now surpassing the Champions League. At least the confrontation between players in the Champions League is not as good as that of the Premier League. The difference in referee standards also allows Liverpool to deal with the Champions League more calmly. On the contrary, the Premier League is obviously more intense, making it difficult for Liverpool to dominate the game.

After 70 minutes of the game, Situ Yunbing replaced Mahrez with Mbappe, who performed well today.

After Mbappe was replaced, he sat on the bench with a dark face. Seeing this, Monitz walked over to him and whispered: "Are you angry? If you point your resentment at the head coach, it would be very stupid!"

Mbappe shook his head and said to Monitz: "I'm angry with myself. The boss told me before that I would start today. I also prepared very well, but for some reason, I just felt like I couldn't use it on the court, as if there was some power suppressing me invisibly."

Monitz said to him earnestly: "This is a very normal phenomenon. You don't need to be angry, because you can't change the climate and weather here, and you can't let your opponents and your teammates follow your command. The pace of the game today is slower. The faster you want, the more uncomfortable you will make yourself. In addition, in this climate, the stars of European giants will be able to reduce their combat effectiveness at least 30%. If you don't believe it, you can go back and find their game video in Eastern Europe to see if I'm right. The most important thing you are to feel and summarize the experience of today's game. This is the reason why the boss arranged you as the starting lineup. Look, in terms of mentality, I think Arnold's performance is more mature than you. At least he looks very calm today, and he looks quite like a general.

Of course, if you change to a faster-paced game, maybe you will perform better than him, after all, you two are players in different positions and roles.

He needs 90 minutes of full attention, and you only need less than 10 seconds of flash to decide and rewrite the results.”

Mbappe thoughtful when he heard this, then nodded slightly, and his expression calmed down a lot.

Now everyone can see Mbappe's talent and ability, but in this era of highly developed information, no one dares to say that talented stars will succeed. Too many talented young talents fell in the middle and ended up missing. The success rate of football industry itself is pitiful. The same is true among the geniuses. The proportion of those who can become stars in the end is quite low.

Whether Mbappe is a dragon or a worm, the Liverpool coaching team did not ask about the results, but only made silent efforts. They carefully cultivated him. It is good to be able to kick it out, but they could not. Then they had a clear conscience, but they sighed more.

Liverpool's substitutions are actually more orderly. Situ Yunbing does not have much high expectations for the game. Compared with the results, he values ​​the personal performance of several players more.

Van Dijk's condition has recovered, Arnold's ability to withstand pressure on the big scene as a newcomer, and Sane's performance.

That's all.

But Boas obviously did not view the game from a training perspective.

When he waved his hand and ordered the team to attack 75 minutes later, he naturally hoped to bring a powerful threat to Liverpool through offensive pressure in the last 15 minutes of the game.

If such a sneak attack is successful, then St. Petersburg Zenit can win a victory and get 3 points, and the probability of advancing to the Champions League round of 16 will be very high.

Seeing the strong attack from Zenit in St. Petersburg, Situ Yunbing became energetic, raised a smile on his lips, muttering to himself: "You don't want to end up with a harmonious end. Since you want to use a knife, you have to see blood."
Chapter completed!
