Chapter 77, Just Look At The Status

Sterling's goal opened the door for Liverpool to win.

Liverpool, who are good at playing defensive counterattacks, played more easily after taking the lead.

They solidified their defense and took Tottenham's chances on the counter-attack.

And because Tottenham Hotspur are at home, they must not be reconciled to losing at home in this game, so they also attacked fiercely after falling behind.

This gave Liverpool more space to counterattack.

Before the end of the first half, it was also a counterattack. Su Han received an assist from Sterling, jumped high and headed the ball into the goal.

Two to zero!

"Leading Liverpool by two goals in the first half has killed the suspense of the game. Liverpool have been in great form this '797' season. They are the only unbeaten team in the league so far. That's great. Great. They were drawn away by Bolton in the last round. When facing Tottenham Hotspur this time, everyone would think that Liverpool might encounter a very big resistance...but now, the first half is still there Before the end, Liverpool led by two goals. Is there any suspense in this game? Liverpool, which is good at playing defensive counterattacks, has a two-goal lead... This is simply the most boring kind of game.”

Andy Gray was right, after a two-goal lead, the game did get dull quickly.

In the second half, Liverpool began to deliberately slow down the pace. Ancelotti began to make substitutions very early, allowing more main players to get more rest time, and at the same time allowing bench players to have more game experience.

After frequent substitutions, it will be difficult for Liverpool to maintain the smooth game before, and the mentality of the players has also changed.

So Liverpool even allowed Tottenham to regain some possession in the second half.

But at this time, Su Han returned the initiative to Liverpool.

He assisted Mane to score a goal that completely sealed the victory.

Liverpool won the game

Three days later, in the eighteenth round of the league, Liverpool played against Sunderland at home.

In this game, Sterling continued to start, although Sanchez had started recovery training under the leadership of a special person two days before.

But everyone thinks that it is impossible for Sanchez to start if he wants to recover from injury.

Sterling's performance in this game is still outstanding, especially the tacit understanding between him and Su Han is increasing.

Sterling's football is relatively simple and direct.

But in fact, Sterling's simplicity and directness are better, and they are more compatible with Su Han.

So in this home game, Liverpool finally defeated the "Black Cat" Sunderland 4-0.

Of course, Sterling had a very good performance in this game. He completed a goal and also had two assists.

With goals and assists in two consecutive league rounds, Sterling's recent state is simply hot

After the game, the media in England praised Sterling's recent performance.

I think he played the role he should have played well after Sanchez was injured.

Connect the front line and the forward line in series, and can also assist teammates to score, and he can also score by himself at critical moments.

This is exactly what Ancelotti intended to promote him.

In terms of assist ability, he is better and faster than Sanchez, and Sterling has better physical fitness and is better able to perform the team's frontcourt pressing task.

And he's younger than Sanchez....

No matter how you look at it, he should be the main player.

In fact, if he hadn't been injured at the beginning of the season, maybe he should have been Liverpool's main player this season.

Sanchez's recovery has been going well and after the Sunderland game he was able to train with the team instead of alone in the gym

This should be a good thing, but Sanchez doesn't seem very excited...

After he followed the team to train together, he found coach Ancelotti.

He felt that he should have a good talk with his boss.

He felt threatened by Sterling and he hoped that Ancelotti would give him some sense of security.

Ancelotti was very surprised after hearing Sanchez's intention, and stared blankly at Sanchez without speaking for a long time.

Until the Chilean himself couldn't hold back and asked him: "What's the matter, boss?"

"Uh..." Ancelotti came back to his senses, "If I heard correctly, you mean you want me to ensure your main position?"

Sanchez nodded.

"This... I'm sorry, Sanchez, I can't make such a guarantee to you. In fact, I can't guarantee anyone that they can get the absolute main force from me. Not even Su."

Seeing that Sanchez was about to open his mouth, Ancelotti immediately said the last sentence.

"However, Su 3.3 has always been the main force, and has never been replaced in advance, boss."

Sanchez was somewhat dissatisfied.

"That's because Sue never let me down and gave me no reason to take him out of the starting XI, Sanchez."

Ancelotti said seriously.

"He was able to become the starter because he has such ability and qualifications, not because of any other reasons, and it has nothing to do with his worth, weekly salary or fame."

Then Ancelotti asked Sanchez to leave.

Sanchez's campaign for his rights ended in failure  ……….
