622 Fight against the gangster
The league won the championship four rounds ahead of schedule, and Situ Yunbing had plenty of room to make the final sprint of the season.
Liverpool have plenty of time to rest before the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals begins.
In the 35th round of the league, Liverpool challenged Norwich, and Stu Yunbing sent all substitutes to play.
Norwich ranks third from the bottom of the league and needs to fight for relegation. They may think that Liverpool is here to give warmth, but Liverpool performed well away.
Sterling's performance improved significantly after being beaten by Situ Yunbing, while Mbappe and Arnold performed well after removing the pressure.
In order to score 3 points, Norwich adopted a very active offensive attitude at home, and the game became unrestrained and fierce, which was very good-looking.
In the end, the two teams fought fiercely in an offensive battle!
3:3.
No one cares about Liverpool's performance in the league anymore. Now the most anticipated one is Liverpool's future in the Champions League.
After the 35th round of the league ended, Fleet Street began to build momentum in the mid-week Champions League.
Atletico Madrid made it to the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time under the leadership of the bandit coach Simeone, but they obviously look forward to the finals. And with their style, they are really a little bit willing to give anyone a face, and at the same time they are not afraid of heaven or earth!
In the first leg, Liverpool will visit Calderon Stadium, and before going to the battle, Situ Yunbing attended the pre-match press conference.
At the scene, he was asked by Spanish reporters: "Is there a Madrid derby possible in the Champions League final this season?"
The meaning of the outline is that Liverpool was eliminated by Atletico Madrid, and Real Madrid also eliminated Bayern Munich.
Situ Yunbing nodded and said, "Of course it's possible. Now everyone in the semi-finals have the chance to reach the finals. I cannot rule out the possibility that Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid will meet in the finals.
Just like when the Champions League group stage first started, if you ask me if there will be four teams from the Premier League in the Champions League quarterfinals, I will definitely say yes. This is a probability issue that anyone with a slightly IQ can judge. I don’t think you need to ask me.”
Spanish journalists may be interfering with Situ Yunbing's mentality, but Fleet Street journalists have rarely become a bit pragmatic.
"Simone's Atletico Madrid is very good at restraining strong teams. In La Liga, they have made Real Madrid and Barcelona taste the defeat. Will Liverpool make new tactical designs for Atletico Madrid's tactical style?"
Situ Yunbing was silent for a moment and said seriously: "First of all, Atletico Madrid must have a certain strength to reach the Champions League semi-finals. At this stage, there are no weak teams in the Champions League semi-finals, and so are the Champions League quarter-finals.
So it is not surprising that Atletico Madrid has its own outstanding features.
But in terms of team style, I think Atletico Madrid is relatively passive. Their style is to curb the opponent's performance and win opportunities to defeat the opponent on this basis.
So if Liverpool designs new tactics for Atletico Madrid, it will be difficult because the opponent is better at hitting the back.
I think Liverpool’s tactical thinking should be to strive to maximize our advantages and break the blockade and restrictions of Atletico Madrid on us as much as possible.
In fact, no matter what method or tactic it is, the game will not be simple and easy. After all, it is the Champions League semi-final, not a group stage, and the strength and weakness are not that big."
Next, the reporter asked an interesting question.
"If I remember correctly, your debut in the Champions League was to challenge Atletico Madrid at Calderon Stadium, right? Will you feel an alternative to you when leading Liverpool to Calderon Stadium this time?"
Situ Yunbing laughed and nodded, "Yes, I always miss some milestone competitions and moments. Everyone's past creates the present, and people always like to say let go of the past and face the future, but I like the opposite. The past reminds me how to do now to become better.
Calderon Stadium was where my big dream began. When I led Monaco into that stadium for the first time, no one in Europe would think that Monaco would eventually walk from Calderon Stadium to the Bernabeu that season. Although the distance between the two stadiums was not far away, Monaco had been walking for nine months, which was a road shining with miracles!
So I would say to myself, don't be distracted or distracted at Calderon Stadium.
I will never hope that the dream that was once born there will be shattered in the same place!”
The reporters at the scene nodded one after another.
In fact, if you follow up and report Situ Yunbing and summarize his coaching experience, you will understand why the new generation of coaches highly praised him!
Because many people cannot confront the whole world with the extreme as Mourinho, and they cannot have the background of Guardiola from a famous family, while Situ Yunbing has gradually moved from weak to strong. Everything he has experienced will be experienced by other new generation coaches.
He also gave a way to get out of the predicament. Of course, he has not experienced the difficulties in Monaco in recent years, because he is becoming more and more outstanding and stronger. An excellent and powerful head coach will not let himself struggle repeatedly in the predicament. That is a plot that the failed coach often experiences.
Atletico Madrid coach Simeone was extremely humble before the game.
When Spanish journalists were interfering with Situ Yunbing, Fleet Street journalists were also making things difficult for Simeone in Madrid.
However, in the face of the reporter's sarcastic problems, Simeone did not make a strong point.
Instead, it was just a joke.
"Of course we may lose three goals and four goals to Liverpool, of course we may also win three goals and four goals, but I will be satisfied to win two goals."
The reporters present laughed.
It is impossible for Simeone to lead the team to this level today without two tricks.
The reason why Fleet Street reporters are unfriendly to Simeone is not the upcoming battle between Liverpool and Atletico Madrid.
It originated from the grudge between Simeone and Beckham at the French World Cup that year. No matter what, making things difficult for Simeone to the outside world can always relieve Beckham's fans.
Simeone said as she looked forward to the game: "Last season people said Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich were the super teams in Europe, and now I think Liverpool should be added!
This is a recognition of their strength, but the super team is not unbeatable, otherwise Barcelona will appear in the Champions League semi-finals, not Atletico Madrid.
We want to reach the Champions League finals as difficult as creating a miracle result, but I think we are full of faith, we have never been satisfied, and we never thought that the semi-finals are enough. In fact, on the contrary, if we fall to the Champions League quarterfinals and the semi-finals of 16, maybe there will be no big upset in our hearts. It is nothing more than telling ourselves that we will continue to work hard next season and strive to get a better result.
But when we entered the Champions League semi-finals and there were only two games before the Champions League final, who would tell me that I was already satisfied at this time? Even if I was eliminated, I wouldn’t feel regretful?
No, it will be even more painful. The only way we can avoid pain is to advance to the finals, and the way we can relieve pain is to go all out!"
The Champions League semi-finals between Liverpool and Atletico Madrid must not be as popular as Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, but European media generally believe that perhaps the two semi-final matches between Liverpool and Atletico Madrid will be a more interesting confrontation!
On the evening of April 22, Liverpool arrived at Madrid's hotel. They came to Madrid a day early to try to play in a better condition.
Perhaps the outside world is more concerned about the strength of Liverpool's overall strength, but ignores that they have completed the defense of the Premier League at this time point, and at the same time, the league has also been rotated, and the team's overall physical fitness and condition have been maintained very well. This is also one of the secrets for Situ Yunbing's success over the years.
Match day.
Taking a bus to pass through downtown Madrid, Situ Yunbing was full of yearning for it. Since he came to Madrid, he has thought more than once that if he coached Madrid's team one day, he might stay here until his retirement day.
The reason why Madrid has fascinated players from all over the world is that in addition to the fantastic aristocratic teams here, of course, it is also due to the environment, climate, prosperity and fashion of Madrid.
However, at present, Situ Yunbing has no chance to coach in Madrid.
When Liverpool's bus drove into Calderon Stadium, the players of Liverpool completely left their relaxed mindset and began to cheer up and prepare for the battle at the critical moment of the season!
Pre-match preparations were carried out step by step. Situ Yunbing sat in the locker room and felt a sense of revisiting the old place. Perhaps when he sat here four and a half years ago, he was just exploring European football curiously, but now he sat here with the conquerors' complacent ambition.
The card system that initially helped him to get to the present has almost become a tool with a lower and lower working efficiency, because his team is already strong enough, but the card system still has a very obvious effect in the work of cultivating newcomers, which has also given Situ Yunbing a new understanding and change in the view of the role of the card system.
He used cards for the players step by step. Now Situ Yunbing still uses clean cards directly, and there is no need to make any reserves, even in the Champions League.
However, he still had a card in his hand and didn't know who to use it for, which made him feel a little troubled.
After thinking about it, he decided to keep the experience card and use it as a birthday gift for Mbappe at the end of this year.
Before the game, Situ Yunbing did not make an inspiring speech in the locker room. In fact, today he also came to the away game with the mentality of retorting the moves.
Chapter completed!
