Chapter 766 (1/2)
The 2015 international Champions Cup has been promoted to three continents in the world, not only in North America, but also in China and Australia.
Liverpool continue to go to North America because there are too few teams in other regions and there are no strong teams. It is difficult to achieve the effect of training.
The first battle Liverpool came to Seattle with beautiful scenery, and the opponent was Paris Saint Germain led by Blanc, an old friend of situ Yunbing.
In recent years, Paris Saint Germain has become the Big Mac of the French League through massive recruitment. Last season, it completed all monopolies in domestic events, including the French Super Cup, the French League Cup, the French Cup and the French league.
This achievement was also completed by situ Yunbing in Monaco in 2010, and there was another Champions League champion!
Five years later, when situ Yunbing and Blanc met again on the pitch, even if it was just a warm-up game, they both seemed very happy and excited about meeting old friends in another country.
At the pre match press conference, the two expressed mutual respect.
Blanco claims that no one will forget a series of records created by situ Yunbing in Ligue 1. Even if he led Paris Saint Germain to win the championship, it is still far from the record set by situ Yunbing in Monaco at that time. At that time, Monaco still played the myth of winning the League unbeaten!
Situ Yunbing said that he was not surprised by Blanco's success. Blanco showed strong strength a long time ago, and said that in the two years of French armour, he was happy to compete with Bordeaux led by Blanco. He learned a lot from each other!
When they met on the sideline of the court, they embraced each other warmly, smiled and exchanged greetings, and finally hugged each other.
Both of them regret that if this is a contest in Europe, at least they can sit down and have a drink after the game.
Paris Saint Germain's squad is really strong.
There are Ibrahimovic, DiMaria and Cavani in the front line, Pastore, Tiago Mota, Lucas Jr. and Matuidi in the midfield, Tiago Silva in the back line, marchinios, Maxwell, David Louis and so on.
On the whole, Paris Saint Germain is indeed strong and not weak against European giants.
But they are too strong, but they become very comfortable in French League one. The domestic honors and trophies are almost within reach. No team can challenge and shake their position.
However, in the European arena, because of their strong lineup, it is almost impossible for them to play the role of a dark horse, because other giants or first-line clubs will not regard them as Chinese food, but will treat them carefully, so it will be difficult for Paris Saint Germain to break through history and make achievements in the European arena.
When the European giants have high-intensity games in their respective leagues to squeeze their potential and force them to remain vigilant at all times, Paris Saint Germain is likely to have state problems, because no matter how bad their state is, they can win any game in the League!
But not necessarily in Europe's top confrontation.
In the warm-up game in Seattle, situ Yunbing tried his best to let players in good health come on the stage. He could face Paris Saint Germain in the first game, which could better help Liverpool players enter the state of pre-season preparation.
As it is a warm-up game, tactics are the second, and the key is to play out the state. Therefore, the two teams are very unrestrained, and there are many wonderful pictures on the field.
Liverpool's midfield defense can't keep up with the rhythm, which is understandable.
After all, in the fast pace, the fault tolerance rate of the midfield is the lowest. If a man marking doesn't keep up, he almost loses the role of defense.
Ibrahimovic and Cavani scored a series of goals in the game, and levandovsky and mbape on the Liverpool side also scored.
When it came to the second half, the wonderful breakthrough of little Lucas made coolibali and Robertson lose face, but sane also played with the other side's guard line.
The American audience at the scene was very happy, but they only felt that they were not satisfied.
Finally, Liverpool and Paris Saint Germain blasted a 4-4 score!
Situ Yunbing shook hands with Blanco to make peace.
Although the score was a 4-4 draw, Blanc said meaningfully after the game: ”I don't think it's necessary to care too much about the result, because this is a warm-up game. Both teams are stimulating the state of the team and giving the players as much freedom as possible. It seems that Paris Saint Germain is equal to the European champion.
But if this is a life and death battle, I think the more experienced Liverpool will finally laugh to the end, so Paris Saint Germain should forget the score, we still need some running in, and then see what will happen in the new season! ”
Situ Yunbing defended the guard line after the game. He said that the team still needs some time to gradually recover its strength. At this stage, it is not necessary to pay too much attention to the victory and defeat of the game.
In the second game, Liverpool moved to Washington to fight Benfica.
Situ Yunbing used many young players in this game.
Like Arnold, Guerrero and gondozi, who were transformed into left back by him.
The reason why Paris Saint Germain didn't let them play was that they were afraid of being blown up. If they lost their confidence, it would be impossible to talk about training or not. First, we had to give them psychological counseling. The gains outweigh the losses.
Benfica is still a pragmatic team, especially in the face of European giants.
This competition tested Liverpool's team cooperation. Fortunately, cutinho performed well as a front waist. He not only showed his ability to shoot through the clouds and arrows again, but also performed an assist hat trick.
