566 One mistake, the whole game is lost!
The test of whether a strong team is mature is not only whether it can fight a tough battle, but whether it can lead the score in a strong dialogue. There is also a very important point, that is, how to control the game after leading.
Many teams played passionately before leading the game, and their tactical execution was unprecedentedly consistent, as if every player had a phenomenal performance.
But after leading the score, it started to become a mess, giving people a feeling that they would not play for no reason.
Now Liverpool has to control the game, how much should be invested in offense, what kind of opportunities should not be missed easily, and what kind of opportunities should be kept cautious.
This is also one of Situ Yunbing's focus on his daily work this season.
Liverpool has become steadily in the game. Although Gareth Bale has almost expanded his lead before, it is only his own performance. Relatively speaking, the prerequisite for controlling the game is to be cautious.
Unless it has a particularly large lead or a significant difference in strength.
In the 67th minute of the game, Napoli, who had almost lost the counterattack conditions and environment, suddenly exerted force in the offense. Suniga assisted from the left and made a cross from the bottom. Higuain and Callejon grabbed the ball in the penalty area. Higuain held Van Dijk and Scotter. Callejon headed the ball after the penalty area and was directly held by Ter Stegen with both hands.
Too straight!
Liverpool quickly launched a fast break.
Ter Stegen rushed to the edge of the penalty area and threw the ball to the right side of the midfield.
Gerald responded here, and Inler and Insigne planned to attack him, but they were not in place yet. Gerald kicked the ball directly into the middle when touching the ball, and then turned around and ran forward quickly.
At this time, Gareth Bale also pulled the side and responded, right on the right!
Erikson sent a diagonal pass against the ground and sent the ball to the right side of the frontcourt.
After Gareth Bale took the ball, he quickly advanced to the bottom line steering wheel along the right, and Albiol and Behrami rushed to block him.
Gareth Bale knocked the ball diagonally back to the right in front of the penalty area before falling into the encirclement. When Gerald was in place, Hamsik also rushed up to press, but Gerald pulled the ball back out, which caught Hamsik off guard. Then Gerald hit the ball across the front of the penalty area and left in the left.
Coutinho stopped the ball here and shot with a foot. Marjo, who was defending to the middle, stepped forward with defender Bristo to block the angle. At this time, Napoli's defense line had been completely torn apart!
However, Coutinho passed the ball with his right foot short when touching the ball.
The Naples generals looked in the direction of the rolling football. The picture that caught his eye was Eriksen quickly stepped forward and took the ball forward and went to the meeting alone!
Facing DeSantis who was attacking, Eriksen calmly pushed the ball into the lower right corner and scored!
Liverpool has expanded its lead and can be said to be locked in the victory!
Erikson laughed happily as he ran along the sidelines.
"Liverpool has another goal! Eriksen scored a one-on-one goal with Coutinho's assist!
Although Liverpool scored first by Naples, they scored three goals in a row and turned defeat into victory!
Napoli's offense in the second half lost a certain degree of sharpness, and we can clearly feel the on-the-spot adjustments of the team by the coaches of the two teams during the game and during the half-time period.
In terms of the result, Situ Yunbing is better than Benitez!
Perhaps we should no longer call Situ Yunbing the Magical Young Commander, but should call him the Tactics Master."
The score became 3:1, and Situ Yunbing's heart finally calmed down.
Benitez felt overwhelmed.
If a son is wrong, he will lose everything!
This is determined by the gap in strength between the two teams.
Naples, which is weaker than Liverpool, especially when playing away games, their overall tolerance rate in the game is lower than that of Liverpool. Even if Situ Yunbing makes mistakes in adjustments, there is still room for remediation. As long as there is time, because Liverpool is stronger, the dominant advantage of a strong team cannot be ignored. This has nothing to do with the score, while Naples has relatively no such space. If they make mistakes in adjustments, it would be a good thing if they want to get back their disadvantages!
Just as Liverpool overtakes the score and adopts strategies and postures that control the game and pay more attention to defense, Napoli’s play space is squeezed by the limit, and it is easier to lose the ball!
If Benitez obviously won in his pre-match work compared to Situ Yunbing, then the coach's on-the-spot dispatch performance during the game was completely lost!
After Eriksen scored this goal, Situ Yunbing made a substitution.
Sterling and Valdy appear.
Replaced Coutinho and Gerald respectively.
In this way, although Liverpool's formation is still 433, Gareth Bale returned to the left, Sterling came to the right, and Vardy served as the center.
Benitez couldn't feel at all relaxed when he saw Liverpool's substitution.
Situ Yunbing wants to curb Naples in all aspects!
Because Casemiro and Kante existed in the middle, Naples has always deliberately launched an attack from the wing, especially on Robertson's side.
But now Gareth Bale and Sterling are on the wing, which is equivalent to controlling Napoli’s seven inches. Will the full-back dare to support the frontcourt?
If you dare, then think about the consequences!
Naples began to face the game with a very difficult situation. The offense was quite difficult in Liverpool's half, and they did not dare to invest too much in the offense. The three sports cars that Liverpool threw on the front line were the source of their offense.
The game began to become relatively dull. If Liverpool had an offensive opportunity instead of counterattacking, then Sterling would create a threat. He tried to form a connection with Vardy, while Gareth Bale was ambushing on the court at any time, waiting patiently for a better opportunity to appear.
The game time passed by minute by minute, and Naples was still unable to turn the tables in despair.
Benitez also made a substitution, which was a bit of a training game, and he was really unable to make up for this game.
When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Situ Yunbing let out a deep breath, then turned around and hugged Alonzo first, but the other party showed a shy smile at this time.
Then Situ Yunbing walked towards Benitez and smiled when shaking hands with the opponent after the game: "I'm sorry, you want to defeat me and you'll have to stay until the next time."
Benitez said nothing, and then turned around and left after shaking hands. Perhaps because of his bad mood, the more paranoid he was, the more he could not forgive his mistakes.
Thinking of the incident that Benitez almost "drives Alonso crazy" when managing Liverpool, Situ Yunbing can imagine how strict Benitez's requirements for him would be.
Even if Liverpool won the game at that time, even if midfielder Alonso gave a pass success rate of more than 80%, Benitez would still ask to talk to Alonso about the issue of "those pass mistakes" after the game.
Not to mention that players can't stand this management method, Situ Yunbing wouldn't be able to stand it himself.
It is a good thing to strive for excellence, but if you really pursue perfection in everything, you will be stubborn.
Attending the press conference after the game, Situ Yunbing commented on the game, saying: "Napoli is ready to do a big fight at Anfield Stadium, and we almost let them succeed.
The most difficult thing about the game was that we were probably behind two goals in the first half, but the players withstood the pressure at the critical moment. We equalized the score through hard work. Gerrard's goal was very critical, which was the basis for the team to overtake the score later!
And Coutinho's goal in the second half was a turning point."
When the reporter asked him about his feelings about fighting with Naples, Situ Yunbing said frankly: "Naples is the strongest opponent we have encountered in the main competition this season. If we look at it now, Bayern Munich will definitely be better than Naples, but the game is always complicated. Our game with Bayern Munich is a bit of a semi-warm-up nature, but it is real to fight with Naples.
Their tight defense once made our usual style of play useless, and their counterattack was also very thoughtful, obviously carefully designed and practiced before the game.
This game is not only my players, but also I have gained a lot."
In the same round of the game, Dortmund won Marseille 3:0 at home.
Liverpool will face Dortmund with a three-point lead, and the first leg will be at home.
Fleet Street has highly commented on Liverpool's performance in the Champions League. They hope that the Premier League team will be able to eliminate the decadent performance in the Champions League this season. Last season was the first time that the Premier League team missed the semi-finals in many years!
The teams that are highly anticipated this year must be Liverpool, not Manchester City and Manchester United, and even Chelsea are a bit disappointing, because that comes from their performance in the league.
After the Champions League, Liverpool returned to the league's home court to face the visiting Crystal Palace.
Situ Yunbing adopted the same tactics as in the Champions League, but he had different effects when facing Crystal Palace.
In front of Naples, he seemed weak in offense and was easily targeted by his opponents, but he easily scored a goal on Crystal Palace!
Gareth Berl scored twice, Coutinho and Eriksen scored consecutive goals.
But what made Situ Yunbing a headache was that Casemiro was injured in the game!
Liverpool adds another injured person!
In the end, Liverpool swept Crystal Palace 5:0 at home, and won 7 consecutive victories in the new season!
In this round, Manchester City, Chelsea and Manchester United won the game, but Arsenal, who was originally three points behind Liverpool, tied with West Brom 1:1 away.
In this way, Liverpool's advantage in leading second place has changed from 3 points to 5 points!
Fleet Street is speechless about this situation. Premier League giants are being overshadowed by Liverpool!
Chapter completed!
