Super Coach

Many people may not know that football is actually a very trustworthy sport.

Some head coaches like to be the last person on the team to walk out of the tunnel; some players like to grab a handful of dirt and enter the court; however, what is more disbelieving is precisely the home court of some top teams.

There is a lucky gold coin in every box at Real Madrid's Bernabeu Stadium, but few people know where it is placed; the perimeter of the goalposts at Camp Nou is longer than the La Liga standard, and many people are confused by it. Ridiculing, no wonder Barcelona is the team that hits the most posts.

In the Premier League, Manchester United's home pitch is tilted, with the left side high and the right side low. Therefore, when Manchester United chooses sides, they always like to attack from left to right, because they feel that attacking from high to low will be overwhelming; West Ham United There is a hammer buried under the home team's coaching bench and the right goal of Upton Park Stadium, which is known as the treasure of the town.

This little trick is a bit trustworthy. No one knows whether it is useful or not.

Just like Liverpool's Anfield Stadium, I heard that there is a coin buried at the bottom of each corner flagpole, and the corner flagpoles at Anfield are higher than the home stadiums of other Premier League teams.

Such conspiracies have always been the subject of ridicule by others, but this time, at Anfield, the corner flagpole truly became the protagonist of the game and did Liverpool a big favor.

Liverpool versus Arsenal, the two teams have always attracted attention, so this game has also attracted the attention of football fans around the world, and in order to continue to catch up with Chelsea, both teams tried their best to compete.

Last season, Arsenal only lost two games, which was a home and away double defeat by Liverpool. But what is even more unacceptable is that Liverpool relied on the advantage of winning games to reverse Arsenal and win the championship. This was criticized by the Gunners. It is a great shame and humiliation.

This season, Arsenal is sitting firmly in second place in the league, chasing Chelsea, but not long ago, Liverpool once again reversed Arsenal and stepped on the Gunners.

Old and new grudges made the game between the two teams very heated, especially on the field.

With Vieira, Gilberto and Campbell, Arsenal will never lack powder keg. Although they claim to play the most gorgeous football in the Premier League, they are also the team with the most red cards in the Premier League. Angels and devils will always be It's so hard to tell. The key depends on which angle you look at it.

The first half was a stalemate between the two sides. Arsenal and Liverpool both played steadily and steadily. Neither one took advantage of the opportunity to rush forward, and they were obviously afraid of the other's offensive strength.

Until the 40th minute,

Liverpool relied on Gerrard's long-range shot to penetrate Arsenal's goal.

After the goal, Liverpool was even more unstoppable, especially the fans in the stands, who gave the Arsenal players overwhelming boos and curses. This is very frustrating for any team playing away from home. It's a big test.

Of course, this is not just the case at Anfield, but also at other home stadiums.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Arsenal obviously had the intention to further strengthen their offense, especially considering that they were lagging behind. Arsenal began to adopt a tougher and more aggressive style of play, and Liverpool did not give up too much. Both sides Frequent action.

For this, everyone including Vieira, Gerrard, Davis and Campbell received a yellow card.

In the 57th minute, Arsenal launched a counterattack. Henry pulled to the left to take the ball and cut inside. After entering the penalty area, he suddenly shot a long shot. Reina stood up in time and saved the ball, but the Spanish goalkeeper let go.

Vieira originally thought there was no hope, but when he saw Reina take action, the ball was near him. The French midfielder immediately stretched his foot forward and poked the ball in, 1:1!

The excited Vieira happily rushed out of the penalty area, rushed directly to the corner flag, and provoked the Liverpool player in the stands. He was obviously very dissatisfied with the Liverpool player's actions just now, and even the Frenchman directly He kicked the corner flagpole away, causing the Liverpool fans in the stands to curse.

Vieira was enjoying himself, but Wenger in the distance slapped his forehead hard.

Sure enough, the referee ran over immediately and raised a yellow card towards Vieira, the hero of the goal.

Yellow card? The French midfielder was a little surprised.

You shouldn't kick the corner flagpole. All professional players should know that this is an illegal move! The referee did not have any room for discussion. He removed the yellow card, then raised the red card and gave Vieira a red card. Down.

What's even more ironic is that the entire Anfield Stadium's Liverpool fans burst into a burst of overwhelming applause and cheers. They were using this method to bid farewell to Vieira.

The Frenchman was so angry that he made a silent gesture towards the goalkeeper while walking. This immediately aroused the criticism of more Liverpool fans and was also captured by the live broadcast camera.

Vieira's end did not ease the tempers of both parties at all. On the contrary, the game became more intense.

Arsenal, with one less player to fight, had to start thinking about defense, while Liverpool launched a massive attack. Yang Cheng directly went to the two forwards Drogba and Larsson, plus Ronaldinho on the left and Ronaldinho on the right. With Robben on the road, Liverpool suddenly put four attackers in front.

There was a sudden commotion in front of Arsenal's door. Although the Gunners retreated across the board and formed an iron barrel-like formation, they were still knocked on the door by Liverpool.

In the 73rd minute, Ronaldinho suddenly left the left and rushed from the front of the penalty area to the right.

After Robben got the ball, he passed it behind him. Ronaldinho got the ball in the penalty area, fell to the ground and missed the shot.

Lehmann blocked the right post, kneeled down to block the ball, and the ball rolled to the left.

Drogba in the center made a deliberate pass and blocked Campbell with his body. Larsson, unmarked in front of the left post, faced the ball and easily pushed the ball into the goal.

After the goal, Larsson and Drogba excitedly rushed out of the penalty area, shouting something as they ran, and behind them were the Liverpool players who followed them one by one.

I saw Larson and others arriving at the corner flag area. The corner flag that Vieira kicked away just now has now been put back in place.

Larsson held the corner flag and kept wiping it with his jersey, as if to wipe it clean. At the same time, they kept pointing at the corner flag at the ball.

Are they telling the players that the corner flag was the main contributor to the team's goal this time? Andy Gray felt that this group of guys was really a bit of a prank. This is clearly a dig at Vieira!

The live TV camera showed Vieira and Wenger on the sidelines. Both of their faces were ashen, especially Vieira, who was gritting his teeth and wanted to rush forward and beat these bastards to a pulp.

The Liverpool fans in the stands also took the initiative and sang a song.

Great Mr. Corner Flag, thank you for your contribution, you helped us get that idiot off the field, we love you forever!

The entire Anfield stadium was going crazy. They didn't expect that the players would use this method to retaliate against Vieira, so the players didn't mind adding insult to injury and ridiculing him further.

Yang Cheng was standing on the sidelines, laughing.

Wenger must be furious now!

Benitez and others all nodded. Faced with this situation, everyone would go crazy.

But when you think about Larson being Yang Cheng’s old subordinate, it’s not difficult to understand that this guy looks very serious on the surface, but in fact he is very arrogant on the inside. Otherwise, how could he come up with such a celebration to torment his opponent? What about the method?

But this was just the first time. In the 87th minute, Liverpool scored another victory. This time it was Drogba's goal. The Ivorian also ran to the corner flagpole, but this time he ran to another corner. One side, the side closer to the Arsenal dugout, wiped the corner flagpole at close range.

The players in the stands immediately sang another song in coordination.

Mr. Corner Flagpole said, please, handsome Vieira, kick me! Kick me quickly!

For this reason, Drogba also received a yellow card. The referee thought that his celebration was obviously provocative, especially when he went to celebrate under Arsenal's nose. If you didn't give you a yellow card, who would you give it to? ah?

Although he got a yellow card, everyone seemed to enjoy it, including Yang Cheng.

Yang Cheng doesn't mind doing anything that makes his opponent feel sad!

…………

…………

I used to find it strange why a coin was buried under the corner flagpole at Anfield, but now I know it's for this game!

At the post-match press conference, when Yang Cheng faced reporters' questions, he laughed and teased his opponent.

Wenger was sitting next to him, with a livid face. After all, his team had just lost 1:3 to Liverpool. This directly led to the widening of the points gap between the two teams. The Gunners would be at a disadvantage in their subsequent journey to win the championship. In this position, it was Liverpool. After winning Arsenal, they continued to keep pressure on Chelsea.

However, although both Liverpool and Chelsea have begun to show their championship appearance, especially Liverpool, whether it is in terms of dominance on the court or in terms of data, except for defensive data, everything else is better than Chelsea and is the number one favorite to win the championship. A big hit, but Yang Cheng himself doesn't see it that way.

It's too early to talk about winning the championship. The league has only played 15 rounds. I don't think Liverpool has any qualifications to talk about winning the championship now because our opponents are very good, whether it is Chelsea, the leader, or Arsenal and Arsenal who are chasing behind them. Manchester United, they are very competitive.

This season's Premier League is more intense than any previous season. In normal times, these four teams would all have the ability to win the championship, but now, in the same season, the competition is intense. It’s understandable, so I think we have to correct our mentality.”

Yang Cheng refused to shout out to win the championship, but Wenger took the initiative to shout it out for him.

I think Liverpool is the team most qualified to win the championship this season. They have the ability to defend the Premier League championship.

As for Arsenal himself, Wenger feels that both the Gunners and Manchester United have basically withdrawn from the competition for the league title.

But Yang Cheng knows very well that the winter break and the second half of the season are the real turning points and tests.

Having personally experienced the winter break and the second half of the schedule, he knows very well that if he cannot survive it, no one will be able to win the championship. Moreover, in his hope, he also hopes that Chelsea can slow down the pace of progress during this period, and Liverpool is taking advantage of the opportunity. catch up.

However, the team also has many problems, especially the continuous multi-line operations. Liverpool's entire 25-man first team has received ample playing opportunities this season. Even Warnock has played a lot. Even

Although the substantial rotation has alleviated Liverpool's physical problems, it has been replaced by a lack of tacit understanding among the players. In addition to the main lineup used by Yang Cheng to compete in the league and the Champions League, the running-in of the substitute lineup is also a problem.

…………

…………

In the top 8 knockout round of the League Cup, Liverpool once again arranged a substitute lineup to challenge Tottenham Hotspur away from home. In the 120-minute game, the two sides tied 1:1, which eventually turned into a penalty shootout.

Dudek ambitiously wanted to take advantage of Reina's stupid mistakes against Arsenal through his outstanding performance to regain the main position, and Yang Cheng was also happy to see him create points for Reina. Threats and pressure.

In the end, Liverpool relied on Dudek's outstanding performance in the penalty shootout to defeat Tottenham Hotspur away.

The outside world has been surprised by Liverpool's substitute lineup, because this time Liverpool faced Tottenham Hotspur, who played at home and sent all their main players, but this Liverpool second team showed impressive strength. .

On the other hand, Yang Cheng himself was not surprised at all, because the second team included Leighton Barnes, Warnock, Agger, Vidic, Glen Johnson, Ashavin, Ribery, Murphy, Essien, Larsson and other powerful stars.

To be honest, the main reason is that the lineup changes a lot and the cooperation is not tacit. Otherwise, let alone Tottenham Hotspur, even teams like Manchester United and Chelsea will not be incapable of fighting.

On the day after the League Cup, the two-leg knockout rounds of the semi-finals were announced. Liverpool faced Manchester United, and the first leg was held at Anfield Stadium.

In the other matchup, Chelsea was lucky enough to be drawn against Watford in the English Championship. Judging from the cards, the Blues' qualification was not a big problem. After all, it is difficult for Mourinho's team to be upset.

On the contrary, it is Liverpool and Manchester United. Although Liverpool seems to have the advantage, that is in the Premier League. Manchester United no longer has hope for the Premier League championship, so Ferguson's team is currently focusing on cup competitions.

On the contrary, for Liverpool, January is a critical period for winning the championship, and they also need to make physical adjustments. It is difficult to go all out to play a League Cup like Manchester United. After all, the gains outweigh the losses, right?

On December 4, in the 16th round of the Premier League, Chelsea was at home and cleanly beat Newcastle 4:0.

For this Premier League game that was played in advance, Yang Cheng really didn't know if Chelsea suddenly got the idea? Or is Souness a huge idiot?

But in the end, he shook his head and sighed, wondering why Newcastle's management would find such a stupid young man to be the head coach?

Liverpool defeated Aston Villa 1:0 in an away game. O'Reilly's team caused a lot of trouble for Liverpool at Villa Park. This former brilliant coach of Leeds United is also one of the Premier League coaches that Yang Cheng has a headache for. , but neither he nor Aston Villa, whom he coaches, are Liverpool's opponents yet.

Of course, the ability to cause minor troubles or upsets is still there.

Returning to Liverpool from Birmingham, Yang Cheng still made a substantial rotation in the upcoming final round of the Champions League group stage. Ribery, Kuyt, Larsson, Vidic, Glen Johnson All players have qualified for the starting lineup.

This half-main and half-substitute lineup helped Liverpool defeat their opponents 3:1 at the team's home court.

However, the game was not as smooth sailing as the score showed. It was Olympiacos who scored the first goal. They broke through Liverpool's goal in the 27th minute with a goal from a Brazilian foreign aid.

After that, they defended and counterattacked all the way until the second half. Liverpool relied on the goals of Larsson, Ribery and Essien to reverse the opponent 3:1, which also established Liverpool's title of first place in the group.

Monaco, which beat Deportivo La Coruna 5-0 away from home, finished second in the group.

This is another game that makes people feel unbelievable, because Super Depor lost so humiliatingly at their home court. They have long lost the strength and glory they had when they traveled across the European continent in the past few years.

The finances can't keep up, and we frequently sell our stars, and we will end up like this in the end! Yang Cheng felt a little regretful in his heart.

This is why he is committed to helping Liverpool get out of the financial crisis. In the final analysis, if the finances are not solved, Liverpool will go down the road of Deportivo sooner or later, and they will never be able to get out of the quagmire.

Because in today's professional football, money is all that matters!

Back in the Premier League, in the 17th round, Liverpool defeated their local rival Everton 4:1 in an away game and won the first derby of the season. Although Moyes' team performed well this season, they were firmly in the league. The first group army, but the ranking does not represent the strength.

It’s like what Yang Cheng said in an interview with the media after the game when he said back to Moyes that Liverpool’s win was unconvincing, “I hope that through this game, both Moyes and Everton’s players will be happy.” Understand one thing, they will always be a small team in the Premier League, and they must have this awareness instead of blindly trying to challenge some opponents that they cannot resist at all, such as our Liverpool!

Yang Cheng's words were cheered by Liverpool fans, but made Everton fans hate him.

However, Yang Cheng did not continue to respond. He conducted a week of closed training. A week later, on December 18, Liverpool defeated Newcastle at Anfield Stadium. Everyone booed Souness. Amid the bombardment, Liverpool defeated their opponent cleanly 3:0 and won another victory.

This season's Premier League is more humane than usual, because after 18 rounds, the Premier League can get a week's rest. After Christmas, the war will resume on the evening of the 26th.

Therefore, after the 18th round of the league, the entire Premier League rarely added some Christmas atmosphere. However, considering the long journey, many players were unable to go home and could only bring their families to Liverpool to spend it together.

But at this moment, Chelsea suddenly announced two heavyweight transfers. ! .
