Five Hundred and Sixth, the Famous Man Who Has Seen Hell
Situ Yunbing was very tired due to the intensive schedule. The time and energy spent traveling to and from Russia made him feel the warmth of being taken care of by Sigrid in his life. Sigrid arranged everything for him, and he only cared about going to work and resting.
He has nothing to worry about outside of work.
The weekend's FA Cup 1/8 finals came as scheduled. At the pre-match press conference, Situ Yunbing did not make any remarks about his opponent Everton. The situation is stronger than others. Situ Yunbing, who wants to use the substitute lineup for this game, naturally understands that Liverpool has no advantage at Goodison Park.
The main lineup also needs some time to recuperate in preparation for the next weekend's home game against Swansea.
Moyes also did not provoke Liverpool before the game. The confrontation in the league in the first half of the season has made him a joke, and he does not want to ask for trouble.
But the fans of the two teams did not co-exist peacefully in tacit understanding.
The grievances that have continued in history and will continue to develop in the long run are actually a catharsis for fans of different camps in this city!
Every Merseyside derby will upgrade the security of the stadium to avoid large-scale conflicts between fans of the two teams.
As for small-scale conflicts, since the impact is not large, small-scale incidents occasionally happen, but even the media is not interested in it. Derby conflicts occur more in Birmingham and London than in Liverpool. If these news are reported every day, I am afraid that there will not be enough pages.
Unless there is a truly sensational conflict, the media selectively ignores it.
Situ Yunbing led his team to visit Goodison Park. He was booed by Everton fans after he entered the field.
He was used to it.
With a solemn face, he knew that the upcoming game would not be easy.
Moyes seems to be more nervous than him. The last time he lost at home was a bit embarrassing. In the context of stabilizing the league, the Merseyside Derby is actually another important plus or minus point for his coaching performance.
The impact of the derby on the coach's support is beyond imagination!
When Moyes saw that Liverpool sent a full substitute lineup, he suddenly regained his spirits. He didn't know whether he felt humiliated or thought that the opportunity had come!
Before the start of the game, he clapped his hands to the disciples on the sidelines to boost morale.
Even though he has a hostile relationship with Everton, Situ Yunbing can still evaluate Everton's combat effectiveness objectively. If Liverpool are all on the field, Everton's combat effectiveness will not have any advantage over them.
But with Liverpool on the full bench, the effect is different.
Even if Everton does not have an advantage in style of play, its personnel strength and overall tacit understanding win.
There is really no way for Liverpool to invest in the main team in this game, or the effect of using all the main players may not be as good as all the substitutes!
Even Situ Yunbing himself has only just recovered today. In the past three days, he has adjusted the jet lag and travel consumption twice in the past three days. Where is the main force?
The situation will only get worse.
Even in the FA Cup match, because it is a derby match, the cheering momentum created by the fans of the two teams is still earth-shattering!
After the start of the game, Liverpool and Everton showed a posture of fighting against each other on the court. The two sides came and went, and the fierce confrontation made the game exciting.
Baynes on Everton's side frequently sends shells to the striker on the left,
Jelavic and Miralas got shot opportunities in the penalty area one after another.
Mahrez and Vardy on the Liverpool side are also putting pressure on Everton's goal.
Coutinho's performance today is very important. He performed very well, but Vardy fell into a hard fight. Under the marking of the Everton defender, although Vardy was able to complete the shot, it always felt rushed and reluctant!
Everton's midfielder Fellaini's confrontational advantage allows them to bring Liverpool an obvious threat when attacking the frontcourt. His frontcourt fulcrum has done his job well.
In the 36th minute of the game, Miralas responded to Coleman's cross in the penalty area and scored!
Agger and Coulibaly were a little dizzy from the shock today!
The Everton fans were ecstatic, and Moyes applauded too.
Liverpool fought back at the end of the first half and wanted to equalize the score before the break. As a result, after Mahrez was intercepted in front of the penalty area, Baynes staged a long-distance attack on the left.
But the veteran Pienaar who followed up later sent the ball into the goal with a supplementary shot.
Goodison Park turned into a sea of carnival for Everton fans!
At the end of the first half, Liverpool fell behind by two goals in the away game!
During the intermission, Situ Yunbing boosted the morale of the team, allowing them to strengthen their confrontation in the second half, and at the same time play simpler and more direct offense.
Moyes obviously strengthened the team's defense, hoping to establish a victory for the whole game based on the big advantage of the two-goal lead.
Liverpool and Everton played relatively rough in the second half, and the players of the two teams also had some friction in the confrontation. Lucas had a small conflict with Fellaini, which was not a big problem, but it exposed the anxiety of the Liverpool players.
In the 68th minute of the game, Liverpool finally received a reward through the storm.
When Vardy responded to Mahrez's pass, Distin blocked the ball out of the penalty area first. Coutinho followed up with the stop and adjusted and sent the ball into the upper right corner of the goal with a long shot!
The old goalkeeper Howard is powerless!
Liverpool pulled one back!
The Red Army fans saw hope, while the Everton fans were extremely nervous and worried about gains and losses.
Liverpool's morale was high and they were ready to make persistent efforts, and the continuous strong attacks did make Everton's gates panic, but in the 81st minute of the game, Everton penetrated Liverpool's defense with a counterattack!
Jelavic responded to Pinar's through ball and succeeded in anti-offside. Facing the attacking Reina in the penalty area, he knocked the ball back obliquely. Miralas followed up with a lob shot 30 yards from the goal and sent the ball into the empty goal!
Everton 3:1 Liverpool at home!
Situ Yunbing originally planned to make a substitution at this time, but now he canceled the substitution.
Being one goal behind is a completely different concept than being two goals behind.
If you want to completely change Liverpool's offensive strength in the midfield, three substitutions are simply not enough!
The current offensive efficiency can only be improved by one or two substitutions.
One goal behind is indeed chasing, and two goals behind is hard to beat.
Because after this goal, Everton will inevitably enter a state of defense!
Moyes did not get carried away by the advantage, he did order the team to strengthen the defense.
Liverpool tried their best to try to turn things around, but a miracle didn't happen!
At the end of the game, the score on the scoreboard was quite glaring.
3:1.
Situ Yunbing lost the Merseyside Derby!
The crazy cheers of Everton fans echoed in Goodison Park, and Moyes also looked arrogant!
In an interview after the game, Situ Yunbing expressed disappointment at the team's loss, but also said frankly: "Everton performed better today. They are united and obviously hope to beat Liverpool at home. It has nothing to do with whether it is an FA Cup match, but they are more looking forward to proving their strength in front of Liverpool. They did it.
We should quickly forget about this loss, although it is disappointing to be eliminated, our season is not over, we have other battles to face, and it is time to act like mature men. "
Some people didn't buy Situ Yunbing's post-match remarks!
When Fleet Street was making big reports about the Merseyside derby staged in the FA Cup, Aldridge, another famous player in the Red Army, stood up and expressed his dissatisfaction with Situ Yunbing on the media platform!
"Everyone knows how far it is from Liverpool to St. Petersburg, and the round trip takes almost a whole day, plus the consumption of the game and the time difference, Situ Yunbing faced a decision a week ago.
Europa League and Merseyside Derby, he chose the former!
Because no giant can perform absolutely well in these two games within four days under such a dense schedule in the Premier League!
But I think the significance of this Merseyside derby far exceeds the Europa League!
This is about the confidence, dignity and pride of Liverpool fans!
For some time to come, Liverpool fans will be unable to lift their heads against Everton fans in this city!
Situ Yunbing has been in Liverpool for more than half a year, but he has not fully understood the meaning of the Merseyside Derby! "
Aldrich's remarks made Situ Yunbing furious!
Losing an FA Cup game at Goodison Park actually made Situ Yunbing feel bad, as if he had stepped on dog shit and couldn't wipe it clean, but now those nominally his own people were throwing dog shit at him!
After training on Wednesday afternoon, Situ Yunbing attended the pre-match press conference as usual. In the Europa League second round match, Zenit St. Petersburg will be a guest at Anfield.
But at this press conference, Situ Yunbing was unsurprisingly asked by reporters how he felt about Aldrich's remarks, and Situ Yunbing went all out!
"I now know why Liverpool haven't been successful for a long time, because the club has so many names.
As Liverpool coach, my pattern is more macroscopic. I expect to define the hard work and dedication of this season by the success of the whole season, rather than one or two games.
Liverpool and Everton are mortal enemies, and the battle between mortal enemies will have a very direct impact on the emotions of the fans. I know this very well!
But I know better what Liverpool, a club with countless fans all over the world, needs!
Everton fans can enjoy watching them finish fifth, sixth, seventh in the Premier League a season later, and then go back and forth on how they beat Liverpool in a game and be proud of it!
Can Liverpool do it? Can Liverpool accept third and second in the Premier League and talk about how many times we beat Everton?
Why should we reduce the aspirations of a great club to the same level as a mediocre club?
Is this what Liverpool legends want?
I came to Liverpool to rebuild Liverpool's glory with victories and championships!
From Aldridge's point of view, we can give up the Europa League just to beat Everton?
Maybe I haven't fully understood the hatred between Liverpool and Everton, but in my eyes, there is no comparison between defeating Everton and Liverpool's growth in the European arena, and even hitting the championship!
It's not my style to change my plans for a season's pursuit for an enemy I don't care about.
Another thing I want to remind the famous players of Liverpool is that I don’t know if this happened only in England, or there were not many famous players in the team I coached in the past.
You famous people used to play for Liverpool and achieved success here. Without Liverpool, you are nothing!
Why now you can comment on Liverpool and even give me advice?
You guys are kind of confusing me!
If I coach Liverpool for 30 years, I can at least train more than 30 Liverpool legends like you, even more brilliant than your player era, but I don’t think the current players and future legends are qualified to speak excessively about the team’s affairs after leaving. Your support is good, but don’t give me advice, don’t tell me what to do, and don’t express any opinions in a tone that you know Liverpool best!
You are just talking, me and my players are fighting for Liverpool!
In a sense, regardless of the coaches who coached Liverpool now or in the past, the players who fought in Liverpool, we are just a part of this club, not above this club!
So clarify your positions, I didn't do a good job, I will leave, but it's not your turn to make irresponsible remarks!
Damn it, Mingsu, you are just like annoying flies! "
The scene was silent, the European reporters looked at each other in blank dismay, and the Fleet Street reporters were secretly delighted.
Is Liverpool going to infight now?
