553 See you in the finals!
If football is a war, then after 90 minutes of hard fighting, the last person who remains on the pitch is the winner of this war, because usually the winner stays on the pitch and receives the praise that belongs to the winner.
The live commentator in the live TV round of high praise, the players in the scene can not hear, it belongs to the fans in front of the TV, they will hear the live commentator praise their beloved team, empathize with the excitement, feel happy, cheer, cheer.
However, the cheers from the stands on the pitch belonged to the players on the spot.
Usually in this case, the manager is often a forgotten supporting role, and all the fans will only see the players, they will only sing the praises of the players, praise the good performance of the players, and it is very rare to see them sing the praises of their manager after a victory, unless, really, really love their manager.
It's like Liverpool fans, chanting Yang Cheng's name in unison at this moment.
"Caesar! Caesar!! Caesar!!! β
The shouts of tens of thousands of fans swept every corner of the stadium, which was the fans' favor for Yang Cheng.
They were the first to shout the name of Steven Gerrard, who scored twice in the game, and the Liverpool captain planned the first goal in the first half, then scored a goal himself, and in the second half, he scored another goal for Liverpool at a crucial moment, and his two goals sent Liverpool to the final.
Then shouted Reina, the Spanish goalkeeper saved the big Inzaghi's single knife, turned the game around, resolved the crisis of Liverpool, and was able to win AC Milan in this game, Reina contributed greatly!
The third shout was Davies, the Dutchman veteran was the best player of the game, and if it wasn't for Gerrard's brace, he would have even been the best player of the year, because his performance in midfield was almost impeccable, both defensively and offensively, giving a near-perfect report card.
Finally, the players, including the main players, including substitutes Aarau Diarra, Kuyt, Volnock and other players, were cheered by the fans.
And in the end, the fans burst into the most enthusiastic cheers of the audience, and then shouted the name of head coach Yang Cheng in unison, and they all hoped that the head coach could come out and accept their praise like a hero.
Because without him, Liverpool wouldn't be where it is today!
Without Yang Cheng, maybe Liverpool is still struggling to qualify for the Champions League; Without him, Liverpool may still be mourning the rupture of the legacy; Without him, Liverpool would not be able to taste the pride of the past, which was once so far away from them.
If Liverpool's 60s belonged to Bill Shankly and the 70s belonged to Paisley, then now, entering the new century, Liverpool belongs to Yang Cheng's era.
A top-flight title after a long absence, the first Premier League title in the club's history, a Champions League trophy that is enough to rekindle the soul and fighting spirit of Liverpudlians, and countless other cup titles, there is no doubt that Yang Cheng's three years at Liverpool have returned to all these Liverpool fans who supported and trusted him with a near-perfect report card.
Now, the team they love continues to move towards an unprecedented quadruple title, and if they can win the Champions League, the league and the FA Cup, this season's Liverpool will be a Grand Slam, the first Grand Slam in the history of the Premier League, and this is undoubtedly the greatest season in Liverpool's history!
This group of fans really, really hope that the manager they love can stand up and give them a chance to give him affirmation and encouragement with their cheers, applause and cheers.
"You should come out and take the cheers of the fans, Chief!" Gerald ran over.
Yang Cheng smiled and put his arm on his shoulder, "That's your stage, go ahead!" You deserve it! β
Gerrard looked at the head coach and knew that Yang Cheng didn't like to compete with the players for the limelight, and celebrated together several times, but they were all forced by the players, so he didn't continue to entangle.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"It's incredible!" When the on-site commentator heard the shouts of the fans at the scene, he felt a little incredulous, "We can all see that Yang Cheng is really very high in the minds of Liverpool fans!" ββ¦,
"But it's no wonder that he did a very good job at Liverpool, he not only brought earth-shaking changes to Liverpool, but also brought glory back to this declining former giant, which is the most important thing for Liverpool fans, and it is also something that Houllier and other former managers cannot give." "Now, Yang Cheng has led Liverpool to the final again, and they are even likely to become the first team to successfully defend the Champions League after the Champions League restructuring, which will undoubtedly make this final even more eye-catching!"
"I believe that after watching this 3-0 victory over AC Milan, no one will question the strength of Liverpool, although Barcelona's performance in the league and the Champions League is very eye-catching and excellent, but we have absolutely reason to believe that Liverpool will be Barcelona's strongest opponent."
"And there is another very important factor, Yang Cheng is Barcelona's sworn enemy, from the beginning of his leadership of Kaiserslautern, to Inter Milan, and now to Liverpool, he has never let Barcelona get even the slightest advantage on himself."
"If the Dream II team conquered the whole of Europe, then, Yang Cheng and his Liverpool are definitely an exception, because Barcelona has never beaten Yang Cheng and his Liverpool, which will undoubtedly make the Champions League final more interesting, is Barcelona continue to be Caesar-phobia? Or will Yang Cheng lead Liverpool to make history? β
"But no matter what, we can say with certainty that Liverpool has undoubtedly been a very successful season this season, and I am sure all the fans are looking forward to it, hoping that Yang Cheng can lead Liverpool to continue to win trophies in the Champions League, league and FA Cup, and win the Premier League's first season of Grand Slam in history."
"This will undoubtedly make this season an epic in the minds of many fans, and it will also make this Liverpool a nightmare for countless giants, let the red whirlwind that swept across the European continent in the seventies and eighties blow again, and let the invincible Red Army once again set foot in every corner of the European continent and conquer all enemies!"
"Let's wish Yang Cheng and wish him Liverpool!"
"May 17th, Stade de France in Paris, France, everyone, see you in the final!"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"I'm very, very, very, very disappointed with our team's performance!"
At the post-match press conference, Yang Cheng smiled, and Ancelotti, who sat next to him, had a bitter face, believing that if it weren't for UEFA's hard rules, the head coach must attend the post-match press conference, he would seriously consider absence, even if it would damage his demeanor, but it was better than suffering under this guy's saliva.
The expressions of the two were different, and they came together to form a very strong and obvious contrast, which made many reporters present feel enjoyable, but when Yang Cheng accepted the first question from the reporters on the scene, he used 4 very times in a row to express his disappointment, but when this guy said this, his expression was smiling.
Fools know he's talking back!
Sure enough, after finishing speaking, Yang Cheng smiled from ear to ear, "The reason why I was disappointed was because I warned my players at halftime that if I didn't score 2 goals in the second half, I would be laughed at by everyone, but these guys actually started to rest after scoring 3 goals!" β
The reporters at the scene immediately burst into laughter, not only to Yang Cheng's strange tone, but also to the sarcasm and ridicule in his words.
"Yes, I have to apologize first, and admit one thing, my pre-match remarks about us winning 4-0 are exaggerated, untrue, I bragged, because we only won 3-0, if this has caused any unnecessary trouble to anyone, any organization, I apologize here, I hope to be forgiven."
Then, this guy added seriously, "But if any losses are caused because of this, I'm sorry, I'm not responsible for compensation!" β
The press conference hall at Anfield Stadium burst into laughter.
All the reporters clearly felt the joy from Yang Cheng, defeated AC Milan 3:0, and then sent AC Milan home with an aggregate score of 3:2, Yang Cheng's team reached the final, which undoubtedly completed a very remarkable feat.
This match at Anfield Stadium is also bound to be talked about by countless fans, as they can complete a big comeback at home after losing 0-2 to AC Milan in the first leg, which is undoubtedly a classic. β¦,
Compared with Yang Cheng's happy mood and jokes, Ancelotti on the side was like a bitter gourd on his face, sullen, silent, expressionless, and not talking, almost like an ornament.
But the reporter doesn't care, anyway, as long as Yang Cheng is there, Ancelotti can directly ignore it, after all, fans like to see Yang Cheng and hear him speak, and he will always be the protagonist of the press conference.
"Mr. Yang Cheng......" A female reporter stood up and said with a smile, "Can I invite you...... Well, yes, very seriously, how do you think you Liverpool turned this game around? β
Yang Cheng smiled, and first said, "I've always been very serious!" It made a group of reporters present laugh, and the female reporter couldn't help but laugh and sat down.
"First of all, I think the most important thing why we were able to beat AC Milan was thanks to UEFA, they gave us a fair and just playing environment, although there were one or two wrong decisions in the game, but fortunately it didn't hurt and didn't affect the course of the game." Obviously, this was a subtle sarcasm, which means that if it wasn't for the unfairness of the first leg, my team wouldn't have had to play so hard.
"Secondly, I think our players have shown their best side, they are meticulous on the pitch to implement the strategy and tactics that we have worked out before the game, they have a very positive attitude and every player is very attentive to the game, which makes us still able to withstand the pressure even after a bad start."
'As for AC Milan, I think they are a very good team, but they have some problems in the midfield and the lack of attacking from the flanks makes them too one-dimensional, which is very bad for AC Milan, and we are making a fuss about this in this game.
Many reporters at the scene couldn't help but nod their heads again and again, and even Ancelotti showed a thoughtful look.
Of course, what Yang Cheng said is a very superficial problem, even if he doesn't say it now, wait until tomorrow, reporters will also say it in the comments, this is not a secret at all, and it is not a support for the enemy.
If he now tells AC Milan what kind of players to bring in, or even recommends some players to them, then it is a pitch!
'In addition to that, for example, the ageing of the backline is also a big problem, but most importantly, I think AC Milan are not confident enough, their players obviously have some wins and losses, and lack the fighting spirit and desire to play resolutely when it matters most.
Yang Cheng is talking about Kaladze and Seedorf, two players who performed poorly, Liverpool's third goal came from Kaladze's rise to the top, and Seedorf also performed a mess throughout the game, which directly led to a halt in midfield, and Rui Costa and Kaka both struggled to show their best level.
"So what do you think is the key to your Liverpool victory?" Another reporter stood up.
Yang Cheng thought for a while, nodded and said, "I think it's the fighting spirit and desire to win of the players." β
After a pause, Yang Cheng said very seriously: "After losing 0:2 in the first leg, it would be absolutely deceptive to say that it had no impact on the team, but our players withstood this pressure very well, they were not crushed by pressure like other teams, on the contrary, they turned this pressure into motivation very well, which is the key to our victory." β
Many reporters couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard this, Liverpool's fighting spirit is indeed worthy of the admiration of anyone and any team.
"Do you think the big comeback in last season's Champions League final had an impact on the team?"
"Absolutely!" Yang Cheng nodded, "That final can be seen as two aspects, the first half was the previous Liverpool, we lost badly, suffered from gains and losses, and almost collapsed, but in the second half, we completed the transformation, and we reinterpreted a football and mental state that belongs to our Liverpool!" β
"It's this fight that gives us all a better picture of what we're capable of and all of us more about how we need to win every fight, which is very important for us because it gives us the confidence to beat any opponent like never before."
After listening to this, the reporters all agreed with Yang Cheng's remarks. ..., "Mr. Yang Cheng, at present, Liverpool has reached the Champions League final, Barcelona eliminated Arsenal, and also entered the final, do you think, did your previous winning rate against Barcelona help the game?" β
"Nope!" Yang Cheng shook his head, "On the contrary, I think it is likely to drag me and my team down!" β
Seeing that the reporters were puzzled, Yang Cheng smiled, "No team is immutable, including Barcelona, my winning rate for them is in the past, if I am still looking at Barcelona today with the thinking and ideas of the past, then it must be me who loses the game." β
"So, before the final, I will ask myself, the coaching staff and all the players to forget all the past games against Barcelona, we will treat Barcelona as a new opponent, we have to understand every detail of the opponent, every link, and restrain it."
"Only then will we have a chance to beat Barcelona!"
The reporters immediately nodded in unison, obviously agreeing with Yang Cheng's attitude.
"Mr. Platini said in a previous interview with the media at the Camp Nou that he is a fan of Barcelona and that he is crazy about Barcelona football and supports Barcelona to win the Champions League, do you think this will have an impact on Liverpool?" The reporter seemed to be afraid that Yang Cheng would not know, and added: "He is the chairman of the UEFA executive committee and the disciplinary committee. β
After Yang Cheng listened to it, he knew that this was a trap set by the reporter for himself, and it was inappropriate to answer yes or no.
"Haha, he didn't have a choice, because we bet that if he didn't want to play and eat football on the spot, then he would have to choose to support Barcelona, there was no other choice!"
Obviously, Yang Cheng's answer was only aimed at Platini, which was a personal grudge and had nothing to do with UEFA.
Many reporters at the scene also applauded Yang Cheng's answer, feeling that this guy is becoming more and more comfortable with the media, and even many media have been played by him.
'Liverpool have been excellent on all four fronts so far this season, with the Carabao Cup in hand, the FA Cup and the Champions League in the final, and the Premier League currently one point ahead of Chelsea, you ......'
When the reporter said this, Yang Cheng waved his hand to interrupt him, grabbed the words and said, "Let's play one less round!" β
Previously, due to the FA Cup semi-finals, the 36th round of Liverpool's league was adjusted to May 2, and this game Liverpool's away FA Cup final opponent West Ham United was also seen as a warm-up for the FA Cup final.
'I think we still have the advantage in the title race, Chelsea have two games left, but they are at home to Manchester United in round 37 and we have three games left, but the most important thing is that we are one point ahead of Chelsea!'
After a pause, Yang Cheng laughed, "The Champions League and FA Cup can come to an end, and then we will devote ourselves to the competition for the league, I want to say that Chelsea will not have any more chances!" β
The reporters below were all infected by Yang Cheng's self-confidence, but if you analyze it carefully, it is indeed true.
Liverpool have a high win rate this season and their attack is so good that they have scored 93 goals in the Premier League so far, but have only conceded 24 goals, just three more than Chelsea, and Liverpool have only lost one game, with the rest of the points conceded being draws.
It can be said that after the winter break, Chelsea unexpectedly lost points in two consecutive draws, and after being opened up by Liverpool, they could not shorten the points gap when Liverpool fought in the third line, which has doomed Chelsea to be passive in winning the championship.
Now that Liverpool have completed their Champions League and FA Cup matches, the chances of dropping another point are slim to none.
And all of this is undoubtedly in line with the league strategy formulated by Yang Cheng before the season! γSailing small also providesγ
