692 Psychological Warfare
Kanter needs to recover from injuries for 5-6 weeks and cannot catch up with the first leg of the Champions League knockout round. However, Situ Yunbing does not believe that the impact of injuries on Liverpool will gradually increase. On the contrary, the troubles caused by injury problems are gradually weakening.
After a week of rest, Liverpool ushered in the fourth round of the FA Cup, and they will face the challenge of veteran team Bolton at Anfield.
Situ Yunbing still insisted on rotation, but he had to send more substitutes and rotation players than in the previous round, and the main players basically kept their energy and quit.
Sane returned from the reserve team to the first team starting lineup again.
Bolton has not had a good life since the Premier League was relegated, and his finances have been suffering from crises, and there is no sign of returning to the top ranks after the Super League.
When he came to Anfield, Bolton adopted an extremely conservative style of play. Liverpool's substitute lineup was not very strong, especially because he did not play as high center Lewandowski.
In this situation, Situ Yunbing had already fought with this battle extremely difficult, but he did not expect Sane to surprise him!
Break intensive defense with three axes, long shots, set balls, and personal breakthrough!
What Sane can do is naturally the personal breakthrough.
He skillfully controls the ball during the game, flexibly changes direction and continuously breaks through, causing Bolton's defense line to overturn. No matter whether the opponent is storming fiercely or pulling down his black feet, he maintains a strong impact!
Even Liverpool fans who were a little disappointed with him before also cheered and applauded him during the game!
Sane became the most shining star on the court!
Although he did not score in the sports game, he gave an assist and created two points!
A tough battle that was originally thought to be an extremely difficult one turned into a solo show for Sane!
Liverpool beat Bolton 3:0 at home and entered the next round of the FA Cup!
After the game, Situ Yunbing took the initiative to enter the court and hugged Sane, hugged him and said in his ear: "You are the hero of the team's promotion. Today you are what I want to see. Only in this way can you have the shadow of a superstar. I know that you want to return to the first team, so I will give you a clear mind. If you can still maintain your current state in the next FA Cup, I will let you come back!"
Sane clenched his fists and nodded hard. Even though there were many scars on his body at this time, he truly felt the joy and sense of accomplishment after making great contributions to the team!
Fleet Street describes the performance of Liverpool's current players as "incredible".
Chelsea coach Mourinho developed a strong sense of powerlessness after watching the highlights of Liverpool's match against Bolton.
Chelsea has performed much better than last season, and Liverpool happened to have a decline in performance in multi-line combat and full of wounded soldiers compared with the same period in the past two years. Even so, Chelsea is still behind in the standings and gives Liverpool 1 point!
Now, Mbappe was born first in Liverpool, and then Sane broke out of his cocoon and was reborn!
Liverpool's strong upward period is coming again!
This will put very intuitive pressure on Chelsea!
The coach of his is also deeply in danger!
On January 31, Liverpool played against West Ham United at home, and Situ Yunbing looked calm before the game began.
After January's rest and easing, Liverpool finally got out of the bad state of exhaustion some time ago. Now, they are about to speed up!
It depends on whether Chelsea and other pursuers can keep up!
Against the backdrop of Benatia's return, Coolibali went to the African Cup.
All Liverpool's elite teams at home have emerged, and the starting lineup at this stage will basically be their lineup to face the Champions League in February.
Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.
Defenders: Azpilicueta, Van Dijk, Benatia, Robertson.
Midfielder: Henderson, Coutinho, Casemiro.
Forwards: Mbappe, Lewandowski, Gareth Bale.
Liverpool have been defeated by West Ham United in the first half of the confrontation this season, and West Ham United has indeed performed well this season. They are ranked in the middle and upper reaches of the league. They are coming in this battle!
But Liverpool performed stronger at home!
Just 10 minutes after the opening, Coutinho trolled the ball in the front of the penalty area and dodged the press from Alexander Song and sent out a subtle pass.
Mbappe quickly stepped forward and hit the offensive depth advantage and swept the ball across the front of the goal.
Although Lewandowski missed the middle point in front of the goal, Gareth Bale pushed the ball into the goal at the back!
Gareth Bale pointed at Mbappe after scoring, and admired the performance of this junior.
Mbappe is talented, but such talent has actually been seen by many young players, but Mbappe shows the most reassurance of Situ Yunbing is his team consciousness!
He is not a selfish player, and only on this sense of teamwork can he grow better, because in this way he can better serve the team and the team will also achieve his future.
West Ham United wanted to fight back hard, but Liverpool didn't give them a chance.
Henderson's performance in recent games has also been particularly eye-catching. It is difficult to completely define him as an engineer, because he has done better than those pure engineer players in overorganizing and controlling the stadium situation in at least two years, and from time to time, there will be a threat to pass the ball, or unexpected forward threats.
In the 26th minute of the game, Henderson stepped forward and received Azpilicueta's return pass and sent a beautiful cross. Lewandowski headed the ball in the penalty area and sent the ball into the upper right corner of the goal!
Liverpool leads West Ham United with two goals!
Situ Yunbing clenched his fists on the sidelines to celebrate!
Just 9 minutes later, Lewandowski received the pull-down ball in the penalty area and changed direction and swung out the angle and shot the counter-tangent line. Then he sent the ball into the lower left corner of the goal!
Liverpool leads three goals to secure the victory!
The West Ham United generals have chosen to surrender. They really can't stop Liverpool's bombing, especially when they are eager to take the initiative to cause trouble for Liverpool.
In the second half, Liverpool slowed down the pace of the game and turned to position control, without wanting to consume too much.
When West Ham United suddenly accelerated the pace in the 70th minute of the game and pressed the whole game, Liverpool was ready to make a quick break.
Gareth Bale made a large-scale over-top pass from the left of the frontcourt. After Mbappe made a thrilling breakthrough, he not only responded in shock, but also made a single shot!
The technical ability is incredible to all viewers!
Facing the goalkeeper who was attacking, Mbappe calmly pushed the ball into the far corner of the goal!
Liverpool defeated West Ham United 4-0 at home!
At the end of the game, the Red Army fans were cheering, and Situ Yunbing waved to the fans with a smile on his face.
After this game, Liverpool can watch the tiger fight.
The focus battle of this round is between Manchester City and Chelsea.
At Stamford Bridge, the slightly conservative battle between Chelsea and Manchester City has not made many exciting scenes of the game.
Even the commentator couldn't help but say: "Maybe this is Mourinho's style and Pellegrini's mentality. The former has to win by defense, while the latter is afraid of losing.
But maybe both of them have overlooked one point. I think if Liverpool came to play this game, they would definitely be more active, because the Reds Liverpool will definitely show their will to win this game to the death. They will declare to the world that defeating their opponents can lead to the championship podium!”
Within 5 minutes before the end of the first half, Chelsea and Manchester City each scored a goal.
Then the whole second half was always filled with thunder and rain.
In the end, the two teams shook hands 1:1 and made peace!
The Blues fans in the Stamford Bridge stands don't know what they feel.
Mourinho has a gloomy face anyway.
Chelsea will be 3 points behind Liverpool after this round!
This gap is the first time that Chelsea has fallen behind Liverpool for the biggest difference!
Will it be a watershed?
Who knows?
Liverpool can grit their teeth and fight back when they are behind, and complete a reversal in the standings.
Is Chelsea OK?
At the end of the 23rd round of the league, Liverpool consolidated its top position.
Liverpool, 54 points.
Chelsea, 51 points.
Manchester City, 45 points.
.........
As February begins, Liverpool also has a week to prepare for the Merseyside derby in the second half of the league. There is no war in the middle of the week. The outside world believes that under the rhythm of one game on a week, Liverpool's condition is definitely the best in the Premier League and even Europe!
It will be very difficult for them to lose points.
Before this Merseyside derby arrived, Situ Yunbing used psychological warfare before the game.
At the pre-match press conference, Situ Yunbing talked about Everton, who is now ranked 12th in the league.
"I don't know, I don't know how much progress Martinez coaches Everton has brought to the team. If we use whether the playing style is ornamental, then Everton will definitely make progress, but if we use results as the only criterion, look at Everton's ranking now, I think Everton fans will start to miss Moyes.
And I am not a believer in football viewing. Fancy football will satisfy all our fantasies about football skills, but in professional arenas, wins, losses, and results are the only criterion!
I think there won't be too much time left for Martinez. You can look at Tottenham. It's hard to say that Pochettino's team is more adorable than his predecessors, and it even lacks some of the passion and sensory stimulation inherent in Tottenham in the past. But Tottenham still has the hope of entering the top four of the league. This is a good result. Tottenham fans will be happy with such a situation, rather than how good the team plays, but are always suppressed by strong teams, and will inexplicably lose to opponents who are not as strong as theirs.
Others would say they would give Martinez time, and I supported and admired him at the beginning, but he has been coaching Everton for almost two years, and I don't know how much time he will take, or how long Everton fans can still tolerate their team's mediocrity.
In the past, people would say that Everton may be inferior to Liverpool, but there will always be some tough and strong performances.
Chapter completed!
