Chapter 404 Against Arsenal ([-])

Although the Champions League match between Liverpool and Barcelona was full of twists and turns, many things happened in it.Fortunately, the game was finally over at this time. After defeating themselves and withstood the pressure, Liverpool finally successfully won the tickets for the semi-finals.

Although Barcelona was eliminated from the Champions League, Barcelona was not dissatisfied with it, because the emergence of Liverpool and the elimination of the Champions League finally allowed Barcelona to put all their minds on the league.

At this time, Barcelona is not enough to compete for the championship on two fronts, and the elimination of the Champions League immediately made Barcelona a choice.The Champions League is dead, you can go to compete for the league title.

It seems that it is really difficult for the luxurious first-generation Galaxy Battleship to win the La Liga championship this season. At least you have to ask your sworn enemy Barcelona to agree.Not to mention, the successful promotion of the Champions League also distracted Real Madrid.

At this time, the list of the top four of the Champions League has come out. After two rounds of competition, Real Madrid stunned Arsenal by virtue of their own strong attack power. With a score of 4:2, Arsenal will be eliminated without a doubt. Let's start by putting all our minds on the league.

The deadlock between AC Milan and the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich was full of heat and drama, or because the game was too hot, both sides scored a goal at their home court, and finally the two sides launched a cruel penalty shootout.In the penalty shootout, Kahn performed very well and saved Shevchenko's shot.But compared with his opponent, Brazilian Dida, he seems to have no light.

In the penalty shootout, the Brazilian Dida convulsively blocked three penalty kicks from Bayern Munich, which was a bit like Santordo back then.

In the other match, Manchester United told everyone with a wonderful performance that they are the boss of the Premier League. In the end, relying on the explosion of Giggs' two goals and Scholes' long shot, Manchester United finally eliminated Inter Milan with a score of 3:1.

When George learned that Inter Mira had been eliminated, he couldn't help but feel a little bit disappointed.It's not that George likes Inter Milan, so after learning that Inter Milan was eliminated, he felt a little bit disappointed.

The reason why George lost was entirely because Inter Milan was eliminated and he lost the opportunity to report.I have to say that George is really a vengeful master. Until now, George still wants to take revenge, especially Materazzi, who has been included in his lifelong enemy and unpopular list.

Materazzi's "treatment" of George back then almost cost George his career.This matter will not be easily forgotten by anyone, let alone George, the vengeful master.

The top four came out, and the contest between the top four also appeared.This time there was no English civil war, and Liverpool did not face Manchester United.Manchester United played against Serie A giants AC Milan, while Liverpool played against Real Madrid, which has the strongest attacking power in the world.

However, these are funeral affairs, and Liverpool has not considered these matters, because in the Premier League, Liverpool will soon usher in a strong opponent, and that is Arsenal, which was eliminated by Real Madrid.

Due to Manchester United's involvement in the Champions League, Manchester United wants to compete for the Champions League trophy, but at the same time is unwilling to give up the idea of ​​​​the league title. It has been doing its best to catch up with Arsenal and Liverpool, putting a lot of pressure on the two teams.

However, it is obvious that there are not eleven Lampards or Nedved in the Manchester United team, because the two competitions have greatly consumed the physical energy of the Manchester United players and have been unable to keep up with the rhythm of the game.

No, in the last round of the league, Manchester United finally received a disastrous blow because of their physical overdraft.The cup was eliminated by Tottenham Hotspur, and in the league, it was also humiliated by the Magpies led by Shearer.

At this time, Manchester United's points are four points away from Arsenal and a full seven points away from Liverpool.Although theoretically speaking, Manchester United still has a chance to win the championship, but if there are no accidents, Manchester United has almost no chance in the league.

As for this situation, Manchester United is also very clear, and began to deliberately give up the league, it seems that they are ready to devote all their energy to the Champions League.

Therefore, Manchester United sent many substitute players in this round to give the main players as much rest time as possible to recover their physical fitness.But this time Manchester United's opponent is the powerful Chelsea.Relying on a set of Manchester United's substitute lineup, I believe that in the away game, Manchester United will lose more and win less.

Therefore, it can be said that in this year's Premier League, Manchester United sent most of the substitute players away to Chelsea and announced their withdrawal from the league competition.The championship of the Premier League this season can be completely declared as a competition between Arsenal and Liverpool.

It can be said that this time when Liverpool and Arsenal meet, it is definitely a game that no one can afford to lose.

On the road to the Champions League, Arsenal has been eliminated, so Arsenal can only put all their energy on the league.The game against Liverpool can be said to be a six-point game. If you beat Liverpool, the two sides are on the same starting line. If you lose the game, you will be farther and farther away from Liverpool, and naturally you will be farther and farther away from the championship.

Wenger, who is very aware of this, firmly said in an interview before the game: "Our Arsenal must not lose in this game. After all, this game is really important to our Arsenal."

Of course, Liverpool also knows the importance of this game. No, even the playboy Riser has recently stopped going to his nightlife and started to recharge his batteries.

Although Liverpool is also fighting online, Lao Bei also deliberately gave up a competition and tried his best to win a championship.However, in the face of such a good situation, Lao Bei himself is somewhat unwilling. To be able to win the double crown, and it is also the league and the Champions League. For a club, the two most important championships, Lao Bei is naturally eager to win.

Old Bei thinks this way, so players like George think so even more.Although Lao Bei also asked everyone to propose which event to give up.The most important thing is that when the players insist on competing for both events with all their strength, the most important thing about this proposal is that it will be nothing.

But fortunately, there is no major problem with the physical fitness of Liverpool players.Riise and Smicer returned to the team in time after recovering from their injuries. They also got a certain amount of rest because of their injuries. There was no problem in terms of physical fitness.

On the back line, the goalkeeper Dudek's physical fitness is almost unnecessary. After all, the goalkeeper position consumes the least physical energy.Carragher and Hyypia are still the most assured double-back combination for everyone.There was no big problem with physical fitness.But then again, even if the two have physical problems, Lao Bei will definitely continue to arrange for them to start. After all, in the Liverpool team, in the position of central defender, there is really no one else who can reassure Lao Bei.

In the midfield, Kewell and Alonso can't keep up physically, but they are still capable of breaking through and passing.All of Gerrard's items are presented in front of the world with an image of continuous running and abundant physical fitness, so after a year, Gerrard's physical fitness has not had any problems.

As for Harman, his stamina was exhausted, but fortunately, Smicer returned to the team in time, because he was injured for a week and recuperated. In terms of stamina, no one needs to worry.

On the front line, needless to say, George, an animal, naturally has nothing to do.Owen can't do it, but Husky still exists. Husky is trustworthy in terms of role and experience, so Liverpool has no problem in the front line.

In order to be in the UEFA Champions League, the next round against Real Madrid and Arsenal, after thinking twice, Lao Bei decided to let Heskey and George form Liverpool's striker to start.

Let Owen rest and recover his strength.After all, Real Madrid's offense is very strong, but its defense is not worthy of its own offensive strength. Irving, who has sufficient physical fitness, can tear through Real Madrid's not-so-good defense with his own speed.

At the press conference before the game, there was nothing to watch or news. For this game that meant six points for both teams, whether it was Wenger or Lao Bei, they both swore that they would go all out to win this game.

As for the final result of this game, no one is sure before the game. It can only be said that which team can win this crucial six-point game depends on the performance of the players in the game.

"Believe me, everyone understands the importance of this game. If you still want to win the league championship this season, then we must win this game. Remember to win this game and beat the opponent, even if it is a tie."

Back in the locker room, Lao Bei continued his final pre-war mobilization.

"I believe everyone is familiar with the Arsenal team, so I'm too lazy to talk nonsense. I'm just here to tell you a few points that need attention."

"First, we must not give the opponent any chance of free kicks, especially in those dangerous areas. When defending, we must pay attention to them. After all, Bergkamp and Henry's free kicks are still very sharp."

"Secondly, Arsenal's situation is similar to that of our Liverpool. They also have a formation of double midfielders and double midfielders. Therefore, while attacking, try to avoid breaking through the center, and it is best to break through from the side."

"Thirdly, in Arsenal's defense, whether it is Seagan or Campbell, they are tall and strong defenders. So the high-altitude bombing against Barcelona last time is unnecessary. If you do it in time, I believe there is no big threat to Arsenal's goal. Therefore, everyone should try to attack the ground as much as possible, pass the ball more, and tear apart the opponent's defense. At the same time, Seagan and Campbell are slow to turn due to their own reasons. It can be done."

Hearing Lao Bei's reminder, George nodded to show that he understood.George is no stranger to this point. After all, when he played against Arsenal before, George took advantage of the fact that Seagan and Campbell turned slowly to create opportunities for his teammates or score goals for himself.

"Fourth, whether it's Toure or Ashley Cole, both of them are full-backs who advance and assist. Therefore, everyone must pay attention to the advance of the two. While defending the opponent's advance and assist, you can also take advantage of the gap left by the two forwards."

"Fifth, that is Arsenal's goalkeeper, the German Lehmann. There is no trace of German rigor in him. This guy is a typical unforgiving master, so everyone ignores this guy's sarcasm during the game, and don't make yourself irrational because of the opponent's provocation."

"Okay, it's about these points, do you understand?" After finishing speaking, Lao Bei looked at everyone and asked loudly.

Regarding Lao Bei's inquiry, everyone shook their heads, saying that there was no problem.

"OK~ Since everyone has no problems, then get ready to enter the arena. Children, for victory, for the championship, let's fight."

Under the gaze of Lao Bei, George stood up first, opened the goal of the locker room, and walked towards the player tunnel.Behind George, there are other Liverpool players.

Although the game has not officially started, or because this game is very serious for both sides, the Highbury Stadium is full of seats, and nearly 4 seats are all filled with Liverpool and Arsenal fans.

Although this game is Liverpool's away game, because of its importance, nearly 2000 Liverpool fans also came to a stand, ignoring the provocation of Arsenal fans, and singing Liverpool's team anthem loudly, in this way to support their team.

Because of the importance of this game, or because nearly 2000 Liverpool fans came to the scene, the police in London are also on the alert. There are at least 100 riot police in the stadium. At the same time, there are many patrol officers on standby outside the Highbury Stadium, ready to deal with any possible bloodshed and conflicts.

Arsenal's players did not appear until Liverpool's starters waited quietly in the tunnel for five minutes.However, because of the importance of this game, neither side chatted, just quietly waiting for the game to start.All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the player tunnel seemed very oppressive.

"OK~ Gentlemen, let's start entering the field." The referee of this law enforcement match looked at his watch, and when he found that the time was about the same, he said to the players behind him.

"Okay, players from both sides have already entered the field. Let's wait and see who will have the last laugh in this game."

Because of the importance of this game, many big names came to the scene, even the coach of the England national team Eriksson also came to the scene.Obviously, the Swedes are preparing to consider England's players in this game, so as to prepare for the European Cup next year.

But all of this has nothing to do with the 22 people in the venue. When entering the venue, the first thing to start is the introduction ceremony organized by the program.

"The greatest virtuoso on the football field, Dennis Bergkamp from the Netherlands!!!" Needless to say, the Dutchman is still very popular at the Highbury Stadium. When the commentator introduced the Dutchman, the entire Highbury Stadium burst into applause.

Uh~ Of course, it wasn't all applause, there were also boos, but it was covered up by the huge applause from the home fans.Needless to say, those who booed Bergkamp at Highbury Stadium were naturally Liverpool fans at the scene.

"Always full of passion, Thierry Henry from romantic France!" Henry's popularity is obviously not lower than that of the Dutch. After several seasons, the French's rapid growth has been called the title of Arsenal's future king by Arsenal fans.

"Also from romantic France, a great world-class midfielder who combines offense and defense, and the great Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira."

Although Vieira is very unlikable, this is only for people other than Arsenal fans. In the eyes of Arsenal fans, the Frenchman is the God of Highbury Stadium and the spiritual pillar of Arsenal.

As the commentator explained the starting Arsenal players one by one, every player received a tsunami of applause and cheers.

After introducing the Arsenal players, when Liverpool players were introduced, the entire Highbury Stadium erupted with huge boos, although more than 2000 Liverpool fans at the scene shouted loudly and clapped their palms red, wanting to support their team and their favorite players.But when the disparity in numbers was too great, the applause and cheers of the Liverpool fans could only be covered up by boos all over the sky.

However, Liverpool players are used to this kind of situation and have not been disturbed too much. After the commentator finished introducing the starting rosters of both sides, George and Vieira came to the midfield penalty circle, stood in front of the referee, and exchanged team flags and picked sides in the afterlife.

"This game is very important. For the victory and the championship, I will definitely do my best." When George and Vieira exchanged team flags, George heard Vieira seem to be talking to himself.Although it seemed that Vieira was talking to himself, George understood that Vieira was talking to himself.

George is not a fool, so he naturally knows what Vieira means by saying this. Vieira's words show that he will do his best in this game, and he will definitely tackle and fight fiercely when the time comes, so he must be careful to avoid injury.

Of course, or what Vieira said was to scare George deliberately, so that George would be worried and afraid, and he would not be able to let go during the game, which would greatly reduce Liverpool's offensive power.

But George, especially Vieira, was intimidated by two or three sentences. Although George knew that Vieira was in such a critical game and said so, then Vieira would definitely do the same during the game.But these are not enough to make George feel worried and afraid.

"Similarly, for this game, I will do my best." Looking at Vieira with a smile, George said with a firm face.

Looking at George with a determined face, Vieira didn't say anything.But from Vieira's eyes, George has seen Vieira's crazy and terrifying fighting spirit.

In the end, Arsenal got the right to a free throw. When the referee whistled and the fans cheered, the match between Liverpool and Arsenal, which is enough to determine the fate of the Premier League this season, officially began.
