Liverpool entered the quarterfinals of the FA Cup and fought in the third line in the second half of the season, showing a great momentum!

The Champions League knockout/finals arrived as scheduled.

Liverpool is visiting Ukraine to challenge Donetsk miners.

This time, he challenged Donetzk miners in the pre-match locker room. Situ Yunbing, who was in a very energetic suit, made a declaration of oath in the second half of the season!

When the players were ready to play for the battle, Situ Yunbing stood in the middle of the locker room with one hand in his bag, speaking to everyone as usual.

"I have never defended the Champions League title, and in fact, no team has done this after the Champions League reform.

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

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

But none of them could defend this honor in the Champions League!

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

This is difficult, of course, if it were simple, the team would have successfully defended their title sooner.

It's like in school, if you are just an ordinary student, you need to put in a lot of effort to be at the top of the exam, and when you do it, everyone around you will be surprised.

When you want to get the full mark, others will be shocked and admire your efforts and performance. However, those students who have been at the forefront will work harder to perform better in the next exam and surpass you.

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

We are now at this stage. We have delivered nearly full answers in the past two years. In the third year, can we do it?

Some people are watching, some are cursing, and some are blessing, but our opponents must also be working hard and trying every means to snipe us!

There are actually not many players who can be active in the Champions League for more than ten years, so for these players, they have 0 chances to become champions in their careers, allowing the highest honor to surround them.

Most players may have only such opportunities in their entire career, 6 times or less!

I know that there are players among you who have won two championships, but you must understand that when you first receive this honor, you are successful, and when you receive this honor the second time, you are in a glorious stage that is obvious to all, but when you become the champion of the highest honor for the third time, this is your achievement, your career achievement, if more, then you are a legend, it has nothing to do with age, it is only related to your performance, performance, and the results you have obtained!

As the head coach of Liverpool, I have won the Champions League three times and the UEFA Champions 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'm very young and I think at most other coaches like my age they'll have more time to entertain, and even have indulgent crazy.

But I didn't. Apart from eating and sleeping, I believed that the time and energy I invested in football far more than I did with my wife, that is, her former girlfriend.

I have dedicated my best years and the most beautiful youth to football. This is already a part of my life, so I cannot tolerate failure!

People say I am a great coach and legendary coach who rewrites the history of the Champions League and sets the Champions League record. For me, it is just a sound that will be left behind when I drink a glass of wine and celebrate it and then get up to sleep.

Otherwise?

I completely relaxed and let my opponent knock 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, and we're going to keep winning!

Because this is our attitude towards football, this is the way we love football, and this is the role we want to play in the football field: champion!”

Situ Yunbing's pre-match speech similar to confession did not just give the players a bloody life.

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

After Situ Yunbing finished speaking, they said in a deep voice: "Champion!"

Then they looked at each other with a firm look and a serious expression, and said loudly again: "Champion!"

Then it turned into everyone shouting in unison: "Champion!"

Situ Yunbing nodded constantly when he saw the passionate scene in the locker room.

......

Metalist Stadium.

Donetsk Miners’ home stadium fans have created a good momentum here.

They know that even if there is a home advantage, it will be a big danger for the team to face the defending champion, so they must give the team more help and momentum.

Liverpool still cannot produce the strongest lineup today. Kanter and Eriksen are still in the recovery stage, but Liverpool's starting lineup is still very strong, strong enough for any team in European football to dare not underestimate it, even if it is Liverpool's away game.

After more than two seasons of growth at Liverpool, Ter Stegen is now not a top in Europe, but at least the top three in Europe is fine.

Azpilicueta is also the top three Europeans in terms of offense and defense. Whether it is the first depends on the specific performance. The combination of Van Dijk and Coullibali needs more time to prove the power of the combination, but Van Dijk is definitely the best central defender in Europe. Robertson has been tempered for two years and is now afraid to compare it on the entire European stage, but there is probably no better left-back than him in the Premier League, especially when Baynes is old.

Casemiro is often not showing off his own nature, but if he were not, people would realize his importance. It is almost difficult for Henderson to give him an accurate positioning in his progress, because he seems to be a mean posture, but he also performed very well under Situ Yunbing. He has a sense of déjà vu of Manchester United players in the Ferguson era, which is that he doesn't look good alone, but he performs well in the team.

If Coutinho plays as a midfielder, he will definitely be at the top three in the Premier League.

Needless to say, Gareth Bale, Lewandowski and Mbappe are the best, and Everton will make the combination clearer than Liverpool fans.

The Donetsk Miners are also considered a rich team, at least they are the only one in the country.

They can attract players like Teixeira, Serner, Luis Adriano, Freddy, Douglas Costa to play all year round. You should know that Ukraine is not the favorite place for South American players, at least the climate here is not something they can adapt quickly.

There are also examples of excellent players in European football who went to Ukraine or Russia to make gold, but they were abolished after two or three years in Eastern Europe.

Overall, the Donetsk miners have good overall strength and the players are also good, but they are limited to the level of being able to advance in the Champions League group stage. If they perform well, they can reach the Champions League quarterfinals. If they don’t perform well, they will be somewhat indulged in qualifying in the group stage.

Liverpool played steadily away and did not underestimate the opponent's advance. After all, the temperature in Ukraine at night was almost 0 degrees lower than that in the UK!

Although Situ Yunbing is very ambitious, he will not underestimate any opponent.

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

In this way, they exposed the flaws in the defense for Liverpool to use.

In the 4th minute of the game, when Azpilicueta successfully made a steal in the backcourt, Henderson made a long pass in the backcourt to instigate a fast break. Lewandowski headed the ball in the middle and found Mbappe on the side. The latter quickly dribbled the ball and pushed the ball down the bottom. Gareth Bale followed up quickly on the other side. When the two of them rushed together, the visual shock brought to the audience was very exciting, as if other players were obviously slowing down their motion, and it seemed that others could not run!

It's because they're too fast!

When Mbappe came to the wing to make a quick pass, the goalkeeper attacked the middle but found that he could not destroy the ball at all. After the ball was about one meter away from the extreme, the ball rolled to the back point of the penalty area and was easily pushed into the empty goal!

Liverpool took the lead away!

When Gareth Bale and Mbappe got together and raised their hands to high-five, the Donetsk miners and fans were shocked at the speed of the two!

One left and one right, it was like a tornado blew at Metalist Stadium!

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

The second half of the game was relatively dull. Situ Yunbing hoped to score more away goals in the away game in the two rounds, but when the expedition to Eastern Europe and the venue and climatic conditions were not good for Liverpool, he also had to judge the situation and follow the trend.

After Liverpool failed to expand its lead 70 minutes ago, Situ Yunbing began to make substitutions, Sane and Vardy got the chance to play, and Gerald also made a substitute in the last 0 minutes.

Liverpool's intention to strengthen its defense is very clear. The Donetsk miners accelerated the pace in the last 0 minutes, but they were unable to break through Liverpool's defense line.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the Donetsk Miners fans were a little disappointed, but perhaps the score behind one goal did not declare the death penalty for the Donetsk Miners. They still have the theoretical possibility of a return on the road, so they were not completely discouraged.

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

Not to mention Liverpool's strength in the Champions League, Liverpool has never lost any game at home since Situ Yunbing coached the Reds!

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