Chapter 705: Girard: Lee is a player who drives his fans crazy and makes opposing fans hate him

When it came to the question session, a reporter said Klopp's opinion on the outcome of the game just now: "Mr. Klopp just said that Liverpool lost tonight for two reasons, one is luck, Manchester City's luck is better than Liverpool's.

The other is the fixtures, which are not friendly to Liverpool, with three very important games played in eight days.

What are your thoughts on this? ”

Pep Guardiola pondered for a moment and said: "If a one-game lore is luck, then two consecutive games are still luck?

I'll admit Liverpool were closer to scoring than we were tonight, but is it just a matter of luck?

It's the ability to take chances.

We were better at taking our chances than they did, so we won the game in the end.

As for the schedule...... Now that it has entered the third-line operation, the schedule is indeed very intensive.

Liverpool play Chelsea, Napoli and us in eight days' time, and it's a fixture that's really not friendly to them, but it happens every season.

I think it's better to look at your own problems and improve your ability to play than to put the blame on the schedule. ”

The reporters' eyes brightened, is this scared?

Okay, we've got something to do in the next few days!

A reporter asked what are City's goals for this season?

Pep Guardiola thought for a moment and said: "First of all, defend the title in the Premier League, and secondly, challenge for the Champions League, and as for the rest of the games, we will fight for them.

I hope it's a perfect season because after this season we will have a lot of difficulties and problems. ”

The reporters looked at Guardiola in surprise, what did this last sentence mean?

Could it be that there will be a major earthquake in Manchester City next season?!

……

The Liverpool legends were surrounded by reporters after the game.

Gillard gave his thoughts on the game: 'Liverpool played well tonight and although they have had some problems lately, I'm sure they will get through this hardest time soon.

The biggest reason why Liverpool lost was that their ability to take chances was slightly worse than Manchester City's, and other places were no worse than Manchester City, or even better than them.

In fact, Liverpool have been very good since the start of the season, they have won six consecutive Premier League games, so I believe they will get better quickly.

Also, losing to Manchester City is not a bad thing.

I remember after Arsenal's big defeat to Manchester City in the first round, a lot of people were unhappy with Unai Emery and even asked him to leave the Emirates Stadium.

But Arsenal won six consecutive Premier League games after that heavy defeat!

So I don't think it's okay to lose to Manchester City, maybe Liverpool will get back-to-back wins in the Premier League next! ”

The reporter asked him to compare the performance of Salah and Li Chuanqi in this game.

Gillard thought for a moment and said: "Salah was brilliant tonight, and in addition to that brilliant leap to the top, there were a couple of wide crosses that caused a lot of problems for City's defence.

He's not in the same form since the start of the season as he was last season, but I think his performance tonight was a reflection of his value and his status at Liverpool.

As for Li ...... What do you think of him......

He gives people a sense of ...... What do you say...... It gives a very mixed feeling.

If you're a supporter of him, you can sit in the stands and watch him play, no matter how tough the situation is, no matter how difficult the situation, he can always find a solution.

If you're unfortunate enough to be on the opposite side of him, he'll give you the idea that he could do anything unthinkable at any time to threaten your team's goal.

He didn't get the ball much tonight, which probably had something to do with him on the wing, because he was in a problem-solving role, he was going to do the final lift, not the playmaker.

But every time he gets the ball, he puts a lot of pressure on Liverpool's defence.

He's the kind of player who drives his fans crazy and makes the opposing fans hate him. ”

The reporter also raised the confrontation between Van Dijk and Li Chuanqi.

Girard said: "In a one-on-one situation, Van Dijk can't contain Lee yet, maybe it would have been better if his team-mates had come and help him defend.

Virgil van Dijk was actually very good tonight, and apart from his defensive duties, he was very good in helping out.

This is the first conversation between the two of them, and I'm sure Van Dijk's success rate will increase as the number of confrontations increases!

So I don't think there's any need for Van Dijk to pursue a one-on-one situation to keep Lee at the moment.

I'm sure he'll change his defensive strategy after this game.

Van Dijk can't afford to be burdened by this defeat, he is still the best defender in the world, and what defender in the world can defend Lee in a one-on-one situation?

Losing is not his responsibility alone, it's the responsibility of the whole team. ”

Girard is still very optimistic about Van Dijk: "He is the cornerstone of Liverpool's revival, there is no doubt about that. He's proven himself in a lot of games, except that he ran into Lee tonight and was trying to defend him in a one-on-one situation.

If you don't have that idea, the other players go to the trap and block when he defends.

I think the success rate will increase tonight! ”

……

In the home team's dressing room, the atmosphere is more depressing.

They were hoping to use their home advantage to end City's winning streak and they saw hope for a while, only to be beaten by Sergio Aguero.

It's hard to be killed.

Salah and Roberto Firmino, in particular, came close to a late draw.

Salah hung his head and looked at his toes, still dripping from sweat on the floor.

Firmino covered his face with a towel and lay on his back in a chair.

The other players had frustration and loss on their faces.

Van Dijk stared blankly at the ceiling as if he was reviewing the game, looking for his own shortcomings and ways to limit Li Chuanqi.

……

The atmosphere in the away dressing room was good, with everyone talking and laughing, talking about some details and clips of the game.

Li Chuanqi didn't take out his mobile phone quietly, and sent a message to his family to report his safety.

And told Blanca Padilla to be home tonight.

Blanca Padilla replied to him: Come back tonight to score a brace!

Li Chuanqi was full of fighting spirit, and immediately replied: If you score two goals, you will score two goals, and you are not allowed to surrender!

Blanca Padilla replied: Surrender? Who the hell surrendered? It's a good thing you didn't score a hat-trick tonight, otherwise you would have surrendered tonight! No, maybe tonight you have a chance to surrender!

Li Chuanqi said unconvinced: I was also seven times a night back then! It's just a brace......

After sending a smile, Blanca Padilla replied: "That's back then, my dear, if you score twice tonight, I'll reward you with a gift!"
