Returning to England from Germany, Liverpool will start to prepare for the final battle with Manchester City non-stop. {http:

Friends upload updates).

As long as they can beat Manchester City on the road, they can win four rounds ahead of schedule, freeing up ten days of preparation for the Champions League semi-finals.

So Martin O'Neal takes this match against Manchester City very seriously.

He did not relax because Manchester City is not as good as before.

He has always been cautious, although it makes people feel that he is not domineering, but dominance is accumulated by the championship, not arrogance.

The Liverpool reserve team played against Manchester City in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

That time Manchester City basically did not have any strength to fight back.

But that game cannot be used as a reference.

Because that was the game Manchester City planned to give up from the beginning. They put in all the reserve team squad, if Liverpool think this is the true strength of Manchester City, then there must be a problem with the brain.

Martin O'Neal is very clear about what Boas’s goal is. He has no hope of winning the championship. Boas now hopes that the team can reach the top four and qualify for the UEFA Champions League. After adjusting the strategy and cleaning the locker room at the same time, Manchester City’s combat effectiveness is indeed much stronger than before, and the results have also improved. This is also the reason why the Manchester City club seniors will choose to stand on the side of coach Boas. After all, the results are real. Anyone can see it in there.

They are now only one point away from Newcastle, fifth in the league. Newcastle, fifth in the league, and Arsenal, fourth, are only two points away.

That is to say, if Manchester City can beat Liverpool and Newcastle loses, Manchester City can jump to fifth. Going forward can compete for fourth in the league. At that time, there were four rounds before the end of the league, and everything was possible.

This is why Boas will give up the FA Cup.

He and Manchester City look down on the Europa League. Manchester City Club believes that only the Champions League is in line with Manchester City's identity.

Therefore, Manchester City will never give up in this league.

Moreover, this is still in their home court, they are more confident.

In this game, Boas is bound to win. Must let Liverpool end their unbeaten season here.

The opponent's victory is so strong, Martin O'Neal has to be more careful.

What he is most worried about now is that Liverpool players are proud to underestimate the enemy.

After all, the team's morale is now booming. (1_1) The state is also very good, almost no external factors can affect them.

Then the only person who might threaten the team is themselves.

Long-term wins, regardless of the league so far in a season. It's still the Champions League, or the domestic competition. I haven't lost a game. Such a brilliant result was in the process of coaching Martin O'Neill. Never encountered before.

But this does not mean that he has no experience in coping at all.

Because he is a player from Nottingham Forest.

Before Arsenal, who is the holder of the unbeaten record in the top league in English football?

It is Nottingham Forest.

From November 26th in 1977 to November 25th in 1978, Nottingham Forest set an unbeaten record of 42 league games that shocked England at that time. This record was not broken by Wenger's Arsenal in forty-nine venues until twenty-six years later.

At that time, Martin O'Neal was the main player of the team. He has personally experienced all 42 undefeated games.

Although he has not participated in this event as a head coach, he knows what a head coach should do in this situation because he knows how his mentor Brian Clive does.

He just needs to do that.

The most important thing is not to be arrogant and underestimate the enemy. Pride can make a team that has always been full of fighting capacity overlook many things, and these things may become their lives in the game.

At that time, when Nottingham Forest set an unbeaten record of 42 rounds, "taking every opponent seriously" was the requirement that Brian Clough emphasized the most. Although Nottingham Forest has just returned to the Premier League, the Forest team at that time was an out-and-out strong team. They were not even afraid of the British and European double hegemons at the time, Liverpool, let alone other teams. It's good not to underestimate the enemy...So the most important thing is not to be arrogant and underestimate the enemy.

In addition. Brian Clough also kept instilling the belief in winning the players.

We must know that every game may encounter many unexpected problems. On the road of continuous undefeated pursuit, the second most important thing is to always have a winning heart no matter what problems you encounter. Only in this way can we break through the extreme environments and finally win.

Every game is actually a final for those who want to break the limit. So every game must be taken seriously and treated with the mentality of playing in the finals.

Clough’s teachings benefited Martin O’Neill a lot from the beginning. Up to now, it can still play a vital role.

This is a valuable experience he had before he became a head coach.

Now he has imparted these experiences to his disciples, and he hopes that his disciples can benefit a lot from this. Recalling it a few years later, it was like remembering Clough now.

"...Man City is actually very strong. This can be seen from their player equipment. So I don't allow you to give birth to the slightest carry. Even if you have beaten them once, twice, five times, ten times, or even Thousands of times! It has nothing to do with this game! I tell you guys, any single game is illogical. Don’t try to analyze any reasonable results from previous games. Come on. What you have to do is simple, take the most serious attitude, show your highest level, and then beat them away just like the other games you have participated in!"

These words may be heard by every Liverpool player's ears, but Martin O'Neal is still tirelessly instilling in his players.

He doesn't even expect every player to be able to take him seriously, as long as they can develop a physical instinct. In a fierce football game, the body's instinct is often faster than the brain's reaction speed.

As long as their bodies remember their own words, that's enough.

At the insistence of Martin O'Neal, Liverpool's preparations for Manchester City proceeded in a very serious and cautious atmosphere.

Even Martin O'Neal specially engaged in a closed training to avoid excessive contact with the outside world and the team.

At the same time, it also let some complacent players take heart.

The league champion is right in front of them, and it is inevitable that some people will have a feeling of "the end is right in front of them, I can take a breath".

Once this kind of consciousness appears, they will relax-there are no exceptions, this is human nature. Many people have this experience. When a task is about to be completed, if there is no effective means of supervision, they will have "only a little progress, we just finished it casually. Now let's take a break and relax." "The idea. Then the work that could be done in one day will eventually be delayed for a month...

In a fierce game, this kind of slack is even more fatal, because in the game, when their slack spirits want to stretch again, it's too late. Such examples are not uncommon in football.

Liverpool's cautious and even overdone attitude makes the outside world very strange.

This season, Liverpool has swept across Europe. Although the season is not over, everyone knows that Liverpool is invincible.

With such a team, it was Manchester City again. Since Chen Yingxiong joined Liverpool to rely on, Manchester City has fallen for eight lives, from a thriving, fast-growing emerging force, Chen Yingxiong has been beaten by Chen Yingxiong into a hard-working mid-range team struggling to qualify for the Champions League.

It can be said that Liverpool has an absolute psychological advantage when facing Manchester City.

In the eyes of outsiders, Manchester City has long been beaten by Liverpool.

I'm afraid to go around when I see Liverpool.

Just like Boas giving up the FA Cup, this is the typical performance of going around. They believe that Boas gave up the FA Cup not just because the FA Cup will cause the team to fight in two lines and consume energy. Another very important reason is that Boas knew that even if his first team ran into Liverpool's reserve team, as long as there was Chen Yingxiong, he would pay a high price to win the game.

It's so difficult to run into a reserve team and a hero Chen. What if you run into a Liverpool first team?

There is no chance of winning at all!

The media analyzed this game, and Manchester City would be considered a victory as long as it can keep a tie. Even if it is tied, the probability is actually very low...

The media can't figure out why Liverpool should prepare so carefully.

Closed training camp, Liverpool has never engaged in such a thing a few times before...

And even if there is something unexpected in this game, it is not possible to win the championship four rounds in advance, with Liverpool's huge advantage, it will be sooner or later.

Can Liverpool still lose all of these five league rounds and then let Manchester United overtake it?

They couldn't understand Martin O'Neill's caution.

This incomprehension was transformed into a mockery of Martin O'Neill in the media.

"The Sun" also published a cartoon that mocked Martin O'Neill's caution. In the comics, O'Neal has a pile of **** in front of him, while O'Neal is holding a magnifying glass in one hand, and the other hand reaches his mouth. Then he said: "Well, yes, sure, this is indeed shit!"

Such ridicule is really vicious.

Martin O'Neill turned a deaf ear.

These false names have no influence on him for a long time. Even if you are scolded as a tortoise, what about it? As long as you can win the championship, see who laughs at the end! (To be continued...)
