362. I'm so embarrassed (ask for recommendation, ask for collection, ask for subscription)
Under Jose Mourinho's leadership, Chelsea and Inter Milan have both played classic counter-attacking tactics with Barcelona, and the defense has almost gone to the extreme, and then the Italian national team has also done a very good job in defence.
Jose Mourinho's Chelsea or Inter Milan may not need too many chances for them to win.
But they have a prerequisite, and that is that the defense is reliable.
Liverpool, on the other hand, have not been very good defensively, and the number of goals conceded this season speaks for itself.
Especially in recent times, Sturridge broke out at the beginning of the season, when Liverpool often used a small win mode to get three points, and did not concede many goals, and now with injuries, fatigue and other factors, Liverpool's defense is obviously not as reliable as at the beginning of the season.
In their situation, if they blindly shrink and let the defensive line face too many offensive threats from Manchester City, there will definitely be chaos, and Liverpool will start the second half with a defending, unable to defend, this is the problem.
So Brendan Rodgers needs the team to do more in terms of ball control and attack.
Overall, he was successful today and did a great job, albeit at the cost of a red card from Nicolas Sarco.
After the post-match interview, Rodgers went to Wensheng's office for a drink.
"Are you happy with today's game?!" Rogers asked Wensheng.
"What do you say?!" Wen Sheng smiled and handed Rogers a glass of red wine.
"I guess you'll say Sako's red card!"
"Brandon, I'm definitely not happy with not being able to get three points, but the draw is still very reasonable, you guys did a really good job!" Wen Sheng gave a thumbs up.
"I was flattered!" Rogers laughed.
"But you didn't make too many mistakes in your defense, which is hard for me to imagine! We don't play very patiently and resolutely at times! We need to improve on such problems! "Wen Sheng really convinced Liverpool's defense, Manchester City completed almost 20 shots in the whole game, don't look at the number of shots, but most of them are long-range shots, nothing to do.
Wen Sheng said that the players' lack of patience and resoluteness comes from this, they can't play through the penalty area, they simply come up and shoot a long shot, the dead horse is used as a live horse doctor, the team plays too decently, and the team's score is also decent, but it helped Mignolet brush up to a high score of 8 points, because he has a high success rate of saves.
After saying a few words about the game, Rodgers shifted the topic to Coutinho, Rodgers was interested in Coutinho in the summer, but it is not necessarily how strong the interest is, the descendant Joe Allen he attracted himself did not be able to take on the role that Rodgers wanted, Liverpool's scouting department recommended Coutinho, Rodgers planned to give it a try, but he didn't expect Wensheng to exchange Coutinho for Chamberlain.
Even if Rodgers wants to, he has to pay the price of Sterling, who doesn't lack household registration books these years?!
Philippe Coutinho has been doing well under Arsene Wenger and Brendan Rodgers feels he should have been a little more resolute in the summer, while he also joked that Wensheng was too uninteresting.
The essence of talking about Coutinho is that Brendan Rodgers later raised the possibility of Liverpool signing Aspas on loan.
Rogers mentioned the name, and Wen Sheng suddenly asked, "Have you been in contact with him?!" ”
"Nope!" Rogers quickly shook his head, looking very sincere, "I swear there is no such thing!" ”
"Brandon, I don't understand, I said Aspas won't leave the team!"
"I know you said it, but he doesn't stand a chance with you! And I do need a suitable replacement! Rogers was very direct.
Liverpool's scouting department is a strange department, sometimes you feel like they're overly reliant on data, like Adam's deal, but sometimes it's also inexplicable, what are the stats that can be a substitute for Aspas?!
Wen Sheng misunderstood, Aspas is actually Rodgers' idea, even though Aspas is not outstanding at all in Manchester City, but he has experience, he has been in the Premier League for so long, Liverpool happens to lack such a good person, Rodgers also asked with the attitude of giving it a try.
Wen Sheng decisively refused, Aspas was indeed a substitute, but let it go to Liverpool, Wen Sheng felt that he would only agree to Rodgers' request if his head was in water.
Rogers joked that Wen Sheng was not righteous, and Wen Sheng said that you have a problem with yourself, and you know that this is impossible, and you still make such a request.
"However, if you are willing to convince your club to sell Suarez to me, Aspas is not out of the question!"
"Daniel, what do you want me to say, do you think the club will agree to this request?!" Rogers was taken aback by Wen Sheng's audacity.
"Alright, man, let's stop kidding ourselves! You and I both know that this season is Suarez's last, unless your team can win the title! ”
"Maybe we'll win the championship!" Rogers finished his glass, "Alright, Daniel, Merry Christmas!" It's time for me to go! ”
"Hey, Brandon, think about it!" Wen Sheng tugged at Rogers' sleeve.
"Let's talk about it after the season is over! He's the most important player in the team, do you think it's important by that I mean?! One more thing, I don't understand, man, your striker is already overcrowded, and you brought in Suarez?! ”
"I said I had a lot of money, do you believe it or not?!"
"Not only do I believe, I also envy and envy!" Rogers patted his ass and walked away, he couldn't talk about it.
......
Two days later, Manchester City hosted London side Crystal Palace at home.
Crystal Palace needless to say, this is Wensheng's old club.
The old club had a miserable time, Crystal Palace had a bad start this season, and then Parrish fired Lao Lei, Wen Sheng recommended his old friend Lawrence to Parish, and said a lot of reasons, however, in fact, there are many reasons, maybe the head coach really has the talent to say, Lawrence's coming to power still failed to save the decline of Crystal Palace, and now 18 rounds have passed, Crystal Palace only scored 21 points, and then in the Europa League, it was eliminated in the group stage not long ago.
With such a record, it is unreasonable for Lawrence not to get out of class, fortunately he is the acting head coach, maybe because he has no shame to face his club, Lawrence left the team after being dismissed as interim head coach, and it is difficult to say whether he will return in the future.
This time Crystal Palace changed coach, Parish no longer asked Wen Sheng's opinion, and asked Mao, Lawrence, who said a lot of reasons, was unable to support the team at all, and there was a sinkhole.
Besides, even if Parrish asked Wen Sheng, Wen Sheng was embarrassed to give advice, "I'm so embarrassed!" ”
Parrish is now the head coach of Wensheng's old acquaintance Pulis, which is an interesting appointment.
When Cheryl learned that the manager of Crystal Palace was Pris, she teased Wen Sheng: "I now finally know why Parrish didn't ask your opinion!" ”
