902 Premier League Battle of the Century!
Mbappe's goal shocked the whole audience like a thunder thunder!
Everton's tight defense line seemed to have only this moment of flaw but was perfectly captured by Liverpool!
But Liverpool's tactical execution rate in the second half was still very significant.
After constantly hitting the left part, the attack point suddenly shifted.
Mbappe was more like a sneak attack, but it made Everton feel even more uncomfortable.
Their tenacious defense has made almost no mistakes except for this goal loss.
Liverpool also has no choice but to be helpless against them for some time!
But this is football. 90 minutes seem long, but sometimes it only takes a few seconds to decide the outcome.
Situ Yunbing replaced Mbappe with Gareth Bale after he scored, allowing Mbappe to enjoy the applause of Reds fans.
Although Sane's performance is similar to Mbappe this season, and even in terms of comprehensiveness, Sane is better, if you take a careful look, you will find that Mbappe's goal is more valuable and important!
In other words, Sane is the icing on the cake most of the time, while Mbappe plays the role of a key gentleman.
Such performance made Situ Yunbing very satisfied with him.
Everton then made a series of substitutions to try to turn the tables, but Liverpool had completely turned into the defensive team. In the 80th minute of the game, Everton had a great counterattack opportunity due to a large pressure.
Sane made a pass against the ground on the side of the frontcourt, and Gareth Bale quickly cut in from the right and completed the counter-offside to form a single shot!
But facing the attacking goalkeeper Sterkrenberg, Gareth Bale knocked the ball away with a bizarre kick!
Everton was in a false alarm, and Situ Yunbing also saw that Gareth Bale's form still needs to be restored to the game.
Van Dijk's performance after returning from injury is reassuring, he is still the decisive needle on Liverpool's defense.
With strong defense, Liverpool left with a 1:0 score at Goodison Park Stadium.
Although Liverpool's victory or massacre against Everton in previous years, today's victory is indeed not so dazzling, but it is not easy to win the game based on the background and current situation.
All 17 rounds of Premier League matches ended, and Liverpool returned to the top!
Liverpool, 44 points.
Chelsea, 42 points.
Arsenal, 37 points.
Manchester City, 36 points.
Tottenham, 32 points.
Manchester United, 29 points.
......
Christmas is coming, and on the night after defeating Everton, a Christmas dinner was held in Liverpool, and Situ Yunbing went to the banquet alone.
Boss Henry and CEO Warner delivered New Year's speeches respectively. Looking forward to the new year, Henry naturally thanked the team for their efforts and great contributions, while Warner became low-key.
Even though he is not a professional coaching the team, after half a season of public opinion bombing on Fleet Street, even Warner himself felt pessimistic when he woke up early in the morning, as if the Red Army dynasty had entered dusk!
Compared with previous years, Liverpool's arguments are very low-key this year!
Situ Yunbing sat down in the audience and listened to Werner's speech. Perhaps Warner himself realized that the efforts required for Liverpool to take another step forward were geometric multiples!
It’s not that they are unwilling to make efforts, but that they are almost reaching their limits!
It is already very difficult to be able to maintain the current results and consolidate Liverpool's position. If you are not careful, you will face an avalanche!
When Situ Yunbing came on stage to speak, he emphasized to the coaching staff for their efforts over the past year. His outlook for the New Year, the most common speeches were "unity" and "we are together!"
His speech won the audience's enthusiasm for cheers. Whether it was the coach or the player, their admiration for Situ Yunbing was from the heart.
When we were with him, we felt that he was just an ordinary person, but they jointly created the Red Army Empire!
Such achievements are enough to convince everyone of Situ Yunbing, the godfather of the empire.
After the Christmas dinner in the team ended, on Christmas Eve the next day, Situ Yunbing prepared a sumptuous meal at home, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law came to them to celebrate Christmas together.
In addition to the warmth of the family, Han Yang also visited him. Perhaps in this atmosphere, Han Yang appeared just right.
Because Situ Yunbing finally had a deep concept of Christmas and was integrated into such a tradition.
Even Siglide only understood, but could not deeply understand Situ Yunbing's true feelings.
But Han Yang is different. People live other people's traditional festivals in a foreign country, so there is no need to think too much at this time. Friends can just sit together and drink and have fun.
After drinking for three rounds of dishes and five flavors, Han Yang and Situ Yunbing talked about Chinese football.
It was not disappointing. After all, in the second half of 2016, Alonzo led the Chinese national team to the third stage of the World Cup qualifiers. After five games, it sounded very good, and the Chinese team did not lose.
But in fact, there are only 7 points, 1 win and 4 draws!
After solving the defensive problem, Alonzo faced the embarrassing situation where the team scored goals like constipation!
Only one martial thunder can be used, but it is related to the major interests of advancing to the World Cup. The princes of all Asian countries are not fools. After the Wulei is blocked, the Chinese team's counterattack will basically be lost.
So what Alonzo is now troubled by the headache of how to increase the threat of the Chinese team's counterattack.
At the end of the chat, Situ Yunbing asked Han Yang why he was not married yet. Han Yang said that he didn't want to get married so early. After Situ Yunbing asked, he revealed the truth. He had been deceived by women before and was emotionally hurt, so he never trusted women.
It is also said that men deceive women only for a moment, while women deceive men only for a lifetime!
Situ Yunbing couldn't express any opinions on this, after all, his own emotional experience was not rich.
......
On the evening of the Boxing Day, Situ Yunbing led Liverpool to face the visiting Stoke City at home.
Maybe Stoke City believes that Liverpool will face Manchester City in the next round, and Liverpool is not as physically better than them, so after coming to Anfield, it unexpectedly showed the courage to kill the king and attacked hard on the away game!
This may be the best gift Situ Yunbing received in the New Year!
Liverpool took only 30 minutes to lead at Anfield Stadium!
Eriksen, Henderson, and Robertson made straight passes or overhead passes one after another. Sane, Vardy and Mbappe three fast horses rushed into the hinterland behind Stoke's defense line at a glance, easily scoring alone or sending a nanny ball assist.
After Liverpool led three goals, Stoke City felt like it was no fighting spirit again.
It seems that their explanation to the fans is: Look, we have worked hard but can't beat it!
Then just end the competition early and go to celebrate the festival!
The Reds fans in the stands of Anfield Stadium cheered for the team's victory in a cheerful atmosphere!
In the end, the Reds won Stoke City 4:0 at home!
After failing to win the Boxing Day battle for two consecutive years, the Red Army was finally able to give fans a New Year gift that satisfies them on this traditional New Year festival!
After the game, Situ Yunbing returned to the locker room and said to all the players: "We performed well today, and I know that everyone really wants to indulge in celebrating Christmas, but we will face Manchester City at home in three days. I don't want to ruin your excitement, but we must restore our physical fitness and form as soon as possible and strive to perform well in the next round of the league!
So I don’t want anyone to go to nightclubs or me to see the news of anyone making trouble outside. Please be good at it!”
The players couldn't help laughing, but they all attached great importance to Situ Yunbing's request in their hearts.
After leaving the stadium, they went back to their homes, enjoyed the warm Christmas time with their family at home, and then regained their energy and waited for the final battle of the first half of the Premier League!
The Boxing Day battle has an unprecedented grand occasion in the Premier League!
Liverpool beat Stoke City 4-0 at home!
Chelsea beat Bournemouth 3-0 at home!
Arsenal beat West Brom 1-0 at home!
Manchester City beat Hull City 3-0 away!
Tottenham defeated Southampton 4:1 away!
Manchester United beat Sunderland 3-1 at home!
All the top six in the Premier League standings won!
Liverpool, 47 points.
Chelsea, 45 points.
Arsenal, 40 points.
Manchester City, 39 points.
Tottenham, 35 points.
Manchester United, 32 points.
......
When Liverpool scored 47 points in 18 league rounds, Fleet Street seemed to have no confidence to slander Liverpool, because now Liverpool’s points have shown that they are not worse than in previous years!
But the competition situation is still so fierce, which only means that other teams have performed better!
You should know that at this time of the same period last year, Chelsea was only less than 6 points higher than the relegation zone!
With great attention, Anfield on the last day of 2016 will stage the final battle of being hailed by Fleet Street as the "Premier League War"!
When the Spanish national derby became the world's derby war for many years, the English Premier League derby was getting worse every year!
All because of Manchester United's decline!
But after Guardiola coached Manchester City, Manchester City seemed to have all the conditions to end the Liverpool dynasty!
The top coach, luxurious lineup, desire for championships, and the club continues to invest heavily!
Situ Yunbing VS Guardiola!
In the Champions League in the past decade, Situ Yunbing won five championships, and Guardiola reached the peak twice.
If we only look at honors, these two coaches have won the most honors in the past ten years!
And their encounter will inevitably attract global attention, not to mention that the confrontation between Liverpool and Manchester City, the new enemy, is also full of highlights.
If we want to write the history of Manchester City, in the history of the recent period, someone will inevitably write about the ending of Manchester City's death by Liverpool at the beginning of the 2012-2013 season. This became a major shame for Manchester City as the defending champion. It also directly determined that Manchester City missed the championship and was dismissed in disgrace!
Now, can Guardiola's arrival change all this?
Chapter completed!
