Chapter 778

Arsenal regards the League Cup as a tasteless event. Liverpool also does not take the League Cup seriously. Keeping the top four positions in the league and trying their best to play the Champions League is the most important task for Liverpool. Benitez is better than Wenger. At that time, he decisively gave up the league to win the Champions League. Of course, this time he will not put all his energy on an insignificant place in the quarter-finals of the League Cup, but this does not mean that he has no confidence in the outcome. not give a damn about.The team had just beaten Manchester United and their morale was high. Benitez didn't want the League Cup to dampen the team's morale.He is very clear about his old opponent Wenger, knowing that Arsenal will definitely not lose the big because of the best start in history, and will definitely send a substitute to fight, so Benitez is also preparing to send a substitute and the youth team for Lord's lineup.

The two coaches did not hide their views before the game. Wenger said that the League Cup is very important, but he will not send a pure main lineup for this game. It will be a mixed team that will appear at the Emirates Stadium.Benitez told reporters that the players who played against Manchester United in the last game will basically not appear in this game. They need to rest. In the long season, rotation is a must.

Although the two coaches did not say it clearly, everyone understood what they meant. This game will be a contest between young players, and it is the reserve forces of the two teams that will determine the outcome of the game.

英格兰当地时间28日晚上19点45分，红军利物浦气势汹汹的出现在了酋长球场，这是双方的第207场交手，在过去的206次交锋中，枪手70胜53平83负。自从英超成立以来，双方交锋38次，枪手11胜13平14负略处下风，其中坐镇主场6胜8平4负。 从2007年3月迄今，整整两年零七个月，两支球队交锋7次，战绩为5平2负，进11球却丢掉16球。从主场战绩上看，近3次在酋长球场作赛都是平局，近11次在枪手主场交锋主队5胜6平，利物浦上一次攻陷海布里是2000年2月。

正如两位主教练所言，本场比赛他们都派出了替补和青年队的阵容，阿森纳的出场阵容是21-法比安斯基/42-吉尔伯特、6-森德罗斯、18-西尔维斯特、28-吉布斯/37-伊斯特蒙德、8-纳斯里、16-拉姆塞、32-梅里达/9-爱德华多、52-瓦特

Among the 22 players played by the two teams, less than 5 players could be identified by neutral fans, so that the camera lens was continuously shown on the bench and stands, these places are the gathering places of big-name players from both sides. Li Huan, Benayoun, Gerrard, Bendtner and other stars sat on their respective benches and talked and laughed relaxedly. Cesc Fabregas, Diaby, Torres and others were in the stands in casual clothes. There is really no psychological pressure for them.

The two biggest coaches in the Premier League, Arsene Wenger and Rafael Benitez, also had a relaxed expression. After shaking hands, the two actually stood together and said a few words. This rare scene attracted many reporters' crazy shots.

For big-name players, this kind of game is really not enough to watch, but for young people, this is their best stage. All substitutes and youth team players hope to be favored by the head coach through this game, and then Have the opportunity to enter the first team, so as to embark on the road to stardom.After the game started, the young players on both sides began to attack their opponents.Arsenal, who occupy the advantage of the home court, played more proactively.

In this game, Arsenal arranged a formation similar to 433. In addition to the full-time defensive Eastmond in the midfield position, Ramsey and Nasri teamed up to organize the attack.Because the two wingers Merida and Watt were also very active in the game, and the Welsh teenager's consistent general demeanor, the "veteran" Nasri did not appear to be very active, but his performance that seemed to disappear in the crowd just reflected Wenger's tactical intentions on offense.

Although Li Huan is the player that Wenger plans to use to control the field, Li Huan has started every game in the last 15 games. Of course, Wenger hopes that he can take a rest. Only then could Li Huan be sent to the stage.

Therefore, the players who controlled the scene were on Nasri. Nasri did not enter the camera too many times. Only in the 5th minute of the opening, the Frenchman instigated an attack in the middle and sent a wonderful pass for Merida. The shooter misses the goal.In the 9th minute, Nasri cruising to the wing cross, Eduardo and Watt did not seize the opportunity, but they threatened the opponent's gate.Different from Cesc Fabregas' usual core role as a playmaker, Nasri did not take the ball too much in this game, but often made exquisite cooperation with his teammates in the first time. The ball routine is changeable, the running position is erratic, and many ornamental attacks have been organized in the midfield.

Liverpool's core players on the field are the two Dutchman Dirk Dirk and Babel. Dirk is not a very talented player. Van Persie sarcastically said that he is a fisherman, but Dirk is very hardworking and strong-willed. The role played in the game is not necessarily worse than that of some highly talented stars. In a competition like the League Cup, Dirk is considered the big brother.

Babel is a talented right-footer. Basten said that Babel's technical characteristics are similar to those of French star Henry, saying that he will become the next Henry.He is a very fast striker, so he often acts as a left winger, and today his task is to pierce Arsenal's wide defense.

These two people have a great impact on Arsenal's defense on the court. Although Arsenal's young people are not much worse than the main players in passing and receiving the ball, their game experience and ability to control the game are obviously not comparable. Compared with the main players, neither of the two sides can completely overwhelm the opponent for a while, and there is a temporary tie. Arsenal has a slight upper hand by virtue of its technical advantages.

In the 19th minute of the game, Gilbert threw a throw-in to cooperate with Watt. Liverpool's Voroninka got the ball before Watt, but was countered by Watt and Eastmond, trying to put The ball was passed, but it was intercepted by Eastmond. Eastmond stabbed the ball to Merida on the right rib. Merida caught the ball and turned around to shoot. He shot at the upper right corner of the goal from 20 yards and scored.Liverpool's goalkeeper couldn't make a save and could only watch the ball go into the net.

1-0!Arsenal took the lead at home.

"GOALGOAL...Merida! The goal was from Barcelona's youth team, Merida, a talented Spanish midfielder who was praised as "more promising than Cesc Fabregas a few years ago" "He scored a world wave. In this contest between young people, Merida's performance was outstanding, the score was rewritten, and the game will become more intense."

After scoring the goal, Merida took off her shirt at a gallop, revealing the underwear in the jersey, which read: Dedicated to you, dear mother.This young man from Spain is in a foreign country, and the person he misses the most is his mother. Before the game, he was ready to dedicate the goal to his dearest mother.

More than 6 Arsenal fans in the stands gave warm applause to the young man born in the [-]s. Xiaofa stood up in the stands and applauded for his teammates. Li Huan, Bendtner, Dia on the bench Bi and the others also stood up and encouraged Merida with applause.

Wenger, who was sitting on the seat, shook his fist happily. In his opinion, Merida's talent is indeed no worse than that of Fabregas, but he still lacks the opportunities that Fabregas needs to grow up. Today's The beautiful world wave is a testament to his vision.

Benitez, who has been standing on the sidelines, has no fluctuations in his expression. He even smiled and applauded to encourage his little compatriot. Look, Liverpool is not at a disadvantage. Merida's goal is more of a reflection of personal ability.

As expected, the two sides met each other and met good talents. Arsenal scored within 7 minutes, and Liverpool, who launched a wave of onslaught, equalized the score. This was the 26th minute of the game. The left-back Insua, who assisted and stepped forward, drew a wonderful deciduous ball with his left foot from 24 yards outside the left rib. The ball stuck to the lower edge of the lintel and entered the net to equalize the score.

"GOAL GOAL GOAL...Insua! Insua scored, one left and one right, almost the same distance, the same world wave, Liverpool equalized the score, the game has not yet reached 30 minutes, there have been two goals The ball has been played, and the game has become more intense, maybe a big drama has just kicked off, let us wait for a bigger climax."

Seeing this wonderful goal, thousands of Liverpool fans who accompanied the team sang the song "You Won't Walk Alone" excitedly. Benitez on the sidelines showed a smile on his face, and he was in a very good mood. Okay, doesn't Wenger think his youth training camp is the best?Doesn't he think that he has the strongest vision for picking young talents?Is Insua's performance worse than Merida's?It doesn't matter whether you win or lose, but I want to prove that my vision is no worse than yours, Wenger. Don't think that you are the only one who can discover geniuses.
