Eight Hundred and Nineteenth Flag Ceremony!
The second round of the Champions League 1/8 finals is coming.
Liverpool defeated Ghent 2-0 in the first round, and returned to home in the second round with a big advantage.
At the press conference before the game, Situ Yunbing spoke very seriously when talking about the upcoming game.
"Maybe we have a 99% chance of reaching the quarter-finals. I won't say that there will be a 1% result in the evening, but I think the team must start to stay focused now. The game is absolutely serious and devoted, because we are going to fight for the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Get ready, if we're going to go further, we've got to be better than we are!
I will not stop chasing the title and I hope every player at Liverpool does the same. "
Fleet Street does not pay attention to Liverpool's Champions League game, and there is no suspense about their advancement.
If Ghent will be upset, then Ghent will accomplish a miracle that many giants failed to do in front of Situ Yunbing: break his unbeaten home game that has remained for more than 7 years!
Anfield, the game day is still crowded, the fans did not lose interest in watching the game because Liverpool led Gent, and they even cherish every minute of watching the game now!
Because every game, Liverpool may be making history!
Whether it is an unbeaten season, or the continuation of the current dominance.
Young fans may not realize anything, but older fans know that the club cannot escape the fate of reincarnation. Even if it is as strong as Real Madrid, it has been away from the Champions League for 32 years!
If you don't cherish every Red Army game today, maybe ten or twenty years later, when Liverpool falls down again, they won't even have sweet memories, that's the real pity.
In the locker room before the game.
Situ Yunbing didn't know how to give lectures before the game to inspire fighting spirit? To boost morale?
When facing a weak opponent, this bloody fight is meaningless.
Moreover, the team has not had any obvious problems recently, and it seems to be picky if it overemphasizes perfection.
When every player was ready, Situ Yunbing sat on the seat closest to the door of the locker room. His eyes swept over each player. Today he let Gareth Bell and Lewandowski start. debut.
Because after the top 16 is the top 8, fans will feel unbelievable. In the eyes of the outside world, Liverpool's main team has not played in the Champions League this season!
In the Champions League scorer list, the names of Gareth Bale and Lewandowski cannot be found on the assist list, because all their statistics are 0, including playing time.
It's a bit like Situ Yunbing made a black humor for European football, satirizing UEFA's reform of the Champions League. Super strong teams can also advance strongly from the group stage if they deliberately retain their strength, even as long as Situ Yunbing is willing. , Liverpool retain their strength and can reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League!
Now they must be allowed to set foot on the Champions League, they must be adapted to the Champions League, and at the same time, they must be mentally and psychologically prepared to fight in the quarter-finals!
Situ Yunbing glanced at everyone and said calmly: "I hope you can perform well in the game."
There is only such a sentence.
In fact, the greater contribution of Lewandowski and his main players this season is in the league. From the tepid beginning of the season to the mid-term development, Liverpool's lead in the league has been established. The essential.
Situ Yunbing just didn't want to make his harsh demands on them so obvious. He seemed cautious, and even his methods became very tactful, for fear of hurting his beloved disciples deeply in his heart.
His pre-match training was only a simple sentence, and it was no different from not saying it.
But when the players stood up and walked out, something unexpected happened to Situ Yunbing.
Robertson walked up to Situ Yunbing first, and said in a serious voice to Situ Yunbing: "Boss, I will do my best today!"
After Robertson said that, he turned and walked out, followed by Coulibaly, who also walked in front of Situ Yunbing,
Seeing the surprise in Situ Yunbing's eyes, he said solemnly: "Boss, I will do my best to restrain the opponent!"
Van Dijk, Azpilicueta, Ter Stegen...
Lewandowski said to Situ Yunbing: "Boss, don't worry, we will defeat the opponent!"
Gareth Bell said to Situ Yunbing: "Boss, I'm ready to score at least two goals today!"
After the players left one after another, Situ Yunbing and the assistants looked at each other.
Gerrard was in complete shock, something he had never seen in his entire career!
Moniz smiled at Situ Yunbing: "Godfather, let's go, your children are all great."
Situ Yunbing laughed dumbfounded.
He was used to standing by the door of the locker room to cheer everyone up before the players came out, but today it was reversed, and it was the players who expressed their opinion to him.
This is really unexpected.
But it made him feel very happy in an instant!
The generals of the Red Army did not lose their vigilance, perhaps they and Situ Yunbing were connected with each other at this moment.
Situ Yunbing needs them to find a feeling in the Champions League, and they immediately expressed their opinion to Situ Yunbing, because they also know that the time to really test the team's concentration, will, and fighting spirit has entered the countdown!
After a long period of competition in the league, the arrival of the Champions League knockout round is entering the moment of sudden death!
The Liverpool team must have a deep awareness.
When Situ Yunbing walked into the Anfield stadium with a smile on his face, he waved to the fans in the stands, and then came to the home team coach's bench and sat down.
Liverpool's generals look full of fighting spirit.
And they completely put their will into the game.
With the whistle of the referee, the second round of the Champions League 1/8 finals at Anfield sounded the battle horn.
Since the start of the game, Liverpool's team has quickly increased the pace of the game!
The simple fast break was blocked by the opponent, but the crazy counter-grab launched from the midfield made Gent completely at a loss.
Sitting on the bench, Sane, Mbappe, Henderson and other players are dignified and paying attention to the development of the game.
In the past month or so, they may think that the gap between themselves and these teammates on the field is gradually shortening.
But thinking of their performance against Gent in the first round, and looking at Liverpool’s terrifying suppression of Gent at home today, they are not at ease, because it means that they still have shortcomings, at least they can’t do it as they would on the field The suppression effect played by these teammates!
In fact, if only one or two players on the bench are replaced, there is almost no difference in Liverpool's overall performance, but if more players are replaced, the effect will definitely be very different.
In general, as long as there is no problem with Liverpool's core framework, every player on the bench can perform after playing, and can almost be embedded without flaws.
Liverpool's goal came quickly, when Gareth Bale and Coutinho knocked the Ghent defender off their feet with two consecutive long-range shots, Casemiro entered the penalty area and sent the ball into the chaos. In goal.
Only 8 minutes have passed since the game.
The Red Army fans in the stands were extremely excited. They had a premonition that today's game would be another big victory!
You only need to look at the state of the players when they control the ball and move to have such a hunch.
Gent did not rush forward at Anfield because they wanted to make a comeback. After all, even if they wanted to do so, they would have no chance!
They were suppressed from the very beginning of the game, they could hardly complete the possession of the ball, and it became a luxury to pass the ball more than three times in a row!
Situ Yunbing always watched the game with a smile on his face. The heroic posture of these clear-headed and broad-sighted players on the field made him, the coach, feel proud from the bottom of his heart!
Not to mention painstaking efforts, but it has also been painstakingly managed for many years. The King's Division under his command will not collapse easily as Fleet Street said!
In the 19th minute of the game, after Liverpool hit consecutive long shots, Coutinho suddenly sent an exquisite through ball!
Lewandowski was in an offside state and confused his opponent. Eriksson, who jumped in from the back, completed the anti-offside and stabbed the ball to the near corner of the goal. The Ghent goalkeeper couldn't react and could only watch the football roll into the goal.
Liverpool leads by two goals at home and leads Gent by four goals on aggregate!
The suspense of promotion disappeared!
The Red Army fans in the stands of the Anfield stadium cheered wildly, applauded, and praised the powerful and shocking team now!
Under the night, half of the players of Liverpool's main team had not played in the UEFA Champions League this season before, but their debut in the knockout round reminded all the audience of their identity: defending champions!
They are real champions, the kings of European football!
Ghent was completely distraught, and the formation was fragmented.
Liverpool's goals came one after another. As the game progressed, Liverpool's goals became easier and easier, because Ghent was already distraught when he lost his armor and armor!
It was their nightmare to draw Liverpool in the knockout round. Maybe they didn't think so after the home game, but coming to Anfield was like stepping into hell!
Every second of the game is a cruel torture for them!
With Lewandowski, Gareth Bale, Coutinho, Eriksen, Casemiro, Robertson and Mbappe coming off the bench, Liverpool had seven players in the 90 minutes of the game Scored 9 goals!
Perhaps it is not news that Liverpool eliminated Ghent to advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. This was also considered the least suspenseful game before the game!
But Liverpool was able to create a sensation by itself!
9:0 slaughter Gent!
The football media all over the world had to pay attention to Liverpool's performance.
While deciding the quarter-finals in the Champions League, Liverpool sent a signal to the other seven teams. The slaughter of Gent was their flag ceremony for the three consecutive Champions League titles!
