Nine Hundred and First Price of the Champion

Liverpool returned with the Club World Cup trophy, but no one has the leisure to appreciate a tasteless championship trophy.

Two days before Christmas, Liverpool will go to Goodison Park to stage a Merseyside derby with Everton!

This is a make-up match for the 17th round of the Premier League.

Before the game, Situ Yunbing said in an interview: "We have to adjust the jet lag in two days, eliminate the fatigue of the journey and the game, and then we will play a derby with Everton, not to mention my players, even I can't relax and reunite with my family for a few days.

I know this is a tough time and all I can say to my players is that I am with them during these tough times.

That's the price you pay for being a superteam, a team that's in pursuit of defending a title.

It is impossible for us to enjoy a rich and colorful life while trampling all hard-working and powerful opponents under our feet! "

Situ Yunbing's words are more like publicly comforting his players. After all, there are many young players in the team, and mature players naturally understand that behind their glory, they always need a lot of gritted teeth and persistence.

Young players may have more ideas and be more willful.

When asked by a reporter how he viewed the upcoming Merseyside Derby, Situ Yunbing said calmly: "Coman coached Everton this season and they have improved a lot. I will not simply look at the rankings. The competitive situation this season is well known. Many teams that used to look ordinary can play extraordinary games. Everton is one of them. Although they are only ranked 8th in the league, their performance has greatly improved than before!

Liverpool is going to play away. Our opponent is not only Everton, but also injuries and physical fatigue of the whole team. But as I said before, unless we don’t want to be the defending champions, then we can lie down and have a good rest, regardless of how the game is played, and not fight against fate!

When I was successful in Hamburg, I started to hear voices echoing in my ears from time to time: You are already successful, you can stop.

Four and a half years have passed, and I haven't stopped. The whispers of the devil in my ears have not succeeded in luring me to fall. I am still pursuing success here, and I believe my players are the same! "

After the reporters on Fleet Street heard Situ Yunbing's remarks, everyone applauded heartily!

What they admire most about Situ Yunbing is not his persistence!

Because many people will choose to persevere on the road to success. The problem is that too many people become blind and arrogant after success and start to make mistakes, which makes them unable to continue their success!

What they admire most about Situ Yunbing is his normal heart after the victory, which may be the important cornerstone for him to go from success to greatness!

Ronald Koeman first congratulated Liverpool for winning the Club World Cup before the game, and then said that Everton has a physical advantage, but he will not take it lightly at home. He tried to reverse the disadvantages and dismal record of facing Liverpool in the past many years!

Goodison Park Stadium, the cold winter has arrived, and Situ Yunbing, who appeared at Goodison Park Stadium wearing a warm coat, enjoyed the abuse and boos from Everton fans.

Perhaps what makes Everton fans more painful than Liverpool's crushing record against Everton in the past few years is precisely the success and glory of Liverpool!

When Liverpool were in their last trough,

Everton fans are naturally happy from the heart. It is undeniable that many people will have malicious pleasure in their hearts.

The mentality that I'm happy if the arch-rivals are not doing well is pervasive, even if Everton themselves have had little success.

On the contrary, when Everton stood still, Liverpool achieved greatness, which naturally made them hate Liverpool even more, and hated the man who brought Liverpool glory even more.

After more than eight years of coaching in Europe, Situ Yunbing's mentality has become very Buddhist.

He has been made things difficult for him face to face, and he has also been insulted. He can encounter racial discrimination, which is always a big fuss in the Western world, almost at any time.

He almost never gets serious with anyone on the issue of racism, which is meaningless and unnecessary.

It's hard to say that he was proud of being born yellow, but he never felt inferior because of it.

Since Sigrid was pregnant, he has been thinking about and learning how to teach children. Now, he can better understand that "what kind of person to be" is far more important than skin color and has an impact on life.

Just as he instilled a philosophy in the team from the first year of coaching Liverpool, defeating Everton is only the mission entrusted to them by tradition, but it is not their standard of success!

They always have to hold their heads up and try to conquer the sky!

Render the sky of the football world into the crimson of the Red Army!

Standing in the coach command area of ​​the visiting team, under the boos of thousands of people, Situ Yunbing naturally stole the limelight from the home team coach Koman. No matter where he went, Situ Yunbing was already the most eye-catching focus of the green world.

Players from Liverpool and Everton entered the field, and the fans' attention turned to the players of the two teams.

Liverpool played their best, and Van Dijk also returned to the starting lineup today.

Gareth Bell enters the bench.

Liverpool seem to have regained some of their former strength.

433 starting today.

Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.

Defenders: Azpilicueta, Van Dijk, Koulibaly, Robertson.

Midfield: Henderson, Eriksen, Kante.

Forwards: Mbappe, Vardy, Sane.

Everton started very cautiously, 451.

Goalkeeper: Stekelenborg.

Defenders: Coleman, Fonness, Williams, Baines.

Midfield: Lennon, Gueye, Barkley, McCarthy, Enzo Valencia.

Forward: Lukaku.

Almost by looking at Everton's starting lineup, one can imagine what kind of tactics they will play in the game. Coupled with the homework done before the game, Liverpool naturally has nothing to fear from Everton.

Everton's advantage lies in physical fitness, because they are ready to face the game, while Liverpool's ability to play well depends on their on-the-spot performance.

When the game started, Everton's overall formation was dragged in the midfield, fighting aggressively and fighting bravely, which once made Liverpool a little bit helpless in terms of momentum.

It's not that Liverpool is suppressed, but that Liverpool's offense will be destroyed by the opponent's sniper attack when it hits the frontcourt.

Everton's offense was relatively monotonous and lacked change. Lennon and Enzo Valencia advanced quickly with their speed, McCarthy and Barkley dispatched a fast break in the middle, and the fight was successful.

It seems simple, but it is not easy to achieve. The long distance of the attack has given Liverpool time to fully adjust the defense. Even if sometimes the flanks cannot be defended, Koulibaly and Van Dijk in the center can control Lukaku, making Everton's offense fall short.

There are few offensive breakthrough points, the offensive method is too simple, and it is too easy to be predicted.

On the Liverpool side, they are constantly trying to switch styles of play, with short passes infiltrating and cooperating, flying with both wings, and long passes!

Sometimes the rhythm changes to try to disrupt Everton's zone defense.

But today Everton did perform tenaciously at home, almost impeccable defense!

If Martinez coached Everton for three years and ended up with nothing, then Koeman will first let Everton regain the tenacious style of the former Moyes era after Koeman takes office!

The game was at a stalemate for a while, and the two teams combined only 7 shots in the first half, Liverpool 5 times and Everton 2 times.

When Liverpool lost Lewandowski, the striker's style of play itself lacked the simplest and most direct threat, that is, crossing from the wing!

Lewandowski at least has the height and confrontation, as well as the ability to respond quickly and seize such opportunities, while Vardy is relatively easier to be marked to death by the opponent!

In response to the situation that occurred in the first half of the game, Situ Yunbing made detailed adjustments during the intermission.

It is almost impossible for Liverpool to control the rhythm of the game. Everton is more prepared than them. In terms of physical fitness alone, Liverpool can't consume Everton!

We can only start with tactical adjustments to make Liverpool more delicate in tactical execution.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Liverpool began to attack the left. The cooperation between Robertson and Sane was already a huge threat. In addition, Eriksson took the initiative to approach to form a triangular passing system.

But Everton also quickly adjusted and strengthened the defense in the corresponding area!

In the 66th minute of the game, after Sane suddenly knocked the ball back to Robertson from the wing, the latter stopped the ball on the spot and made a diagonal pass over the top to hoist the ball into the right rib of the penalty area!

Everton's defense has frequently blocked Liverpool's ground ball from the left into the penalty area in the past nearly 10 minutes. Neither Eriksson and Henderson advanced, nor Vardy who took the initiative to respond. Failed to pose a threat.

But just this time Robertson suddenly sent a precise cross, and Williams, who was tall and burly, realized that he was not fast enough when he turned back to defend!

Speed ​​is always relative. If Williams is going to turn around and chase Mertesacker, his speed is definitely more than enough.

But it's a pity that it was Mbappe who went forward and posed a threat in front of the goal!

Mbappe got rid of the defense's sudden inward cut and had a tacit understanding with Robertson. Facing the falling football, he lightly shot from a small angle, and the football flew into the goal from the inside of the near post!

Stekelenburg, who arrived in the last step, could only look at the ball and sigh!

Liverpool finally broke the deadlock!
