Chapter 947
The decline of Liverpool in these two seasons is obvious to all. Since they were successfully avenged by AC Milan in the Champions League final in 2007, their performance has been showing a downward trend.

Finally, last season, the team executives ran out of patience with Benitez after the team had no results for a season and fell directly to seventh in the league without even qualifying for the Champions League.

As a result, the meritorious coach Benitez dismissed get out of class, and the new coach Hodgson took office became the most important thing for the Red Army in the new season.

Speaking of Hodgson, the old coach now has a good reputation in the Premier League.

Last season, he led the little-known Fulham, who has always been a relegation team in the Premier League. After helping the team qualify for the Europa League last season, he led the team to the final in the new season.

In the end, in the final, Fulham, who had drained all their energy to get to this point, lost to the La Liga powerhouse Atletico Madrid.

However, Fulham, who shined in both the league and the Europa League, still left a deep impression on everyone.

Even the harshest critics have to admit that Hodgson has accomplished an incredible thing.

Therefore, when this coach appeared on the list of Liverpool's new coaches, people were not surprised. The Red Army players represented by Gerrard also welcomed the new coach.

"I'm going to coach a great team, maybe it's a bit down now, but I'll do my best to make it great again."

Hodgson's speech has won people's support for him to coach Liverpool, and the only thing to look forward to next is whether he can contribute to the Red Army.

So, did he do it?

Twelve rounds of the league, four wins, four draws and four losses with 16 points, this is Hodgson's current record.

Liverpool is now ranked ninth in the league, two places behind last season's final seventh in the league.

The most important thing is that Hodgson's Red Army has not shown a convincing performance in the strong battles since the start of the game.

Today they are still able to enjoy extremely high exposure, which is largely related to their former glory.

Of course, it is also related to the top players who still have influence in their team.

Just the day before the start of the game, Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres of the Liverpool team were interviewed by the media together.

The pictures of the two players talking in front of the camera and the content of the interview were quickly broadcast to the fans through the media.

Judging from the ratings of the program and the popularity of the newspaper.

Obviously, although Gerrard is no longer at the top as he used to be, and Torres is not what he was when he first came to the Premier League, their fans still love them very much.

"Feng is a very comprehensive striker. I have watched his game and he is very good."

Among them, Torres' remarks about Liu Feng made many Chinese fans even more excited.

"Tomorrow's game is the first time I have played against him, and I really want to exchange jerseys with him after the game."

It is rare that he was not affected by the injury, and it is already a certainty that Torres will enter the Liverpool team's starting list tomorrow. Torres, who is nicknamed Toniu by the fans, smiled and sent an invitation to Liu Feng from the air.

"Yeah, I liked him a lot when I was a player in the academy and it would be a great honor to swap jerseys with him."

Liu Feng quickly gave an answer before the game. He also likes players like Torres who have good appearance, ability and character.

As for Hodgson and Wenger, their air conversation before the game was much gentler than Wenger's speech to Tottenham before.

Although it is a strong duel, both coaches said that their teams still have a lot to learn from their opponents.

As for whether to really learn or to teach the opponent a lesson, we may only have to wait until the game day to see the outcome.

Fortunately, the arrival of game day is not too late.

When Wenger saw the players who were ready to go in the parking lot, his mood was quite comfortable.

Wenger was very satisfied with the good condition of the players in the routine selection process before this game.

Liu Feng plus Arshavin, Nasri, Cesc Fabregas, Alexander Song and Wilshere, the six midfielders impressed the coach with their mental and physical condition.

Clichy, Vermaelen, Koscielny and Sagna, the back line maintains the main force mode, and goalkeeper Fabianski returns to the starting lineup again.

After several times of 433-[-]-[-] with little effect since the start of the league, Wenger finally gave up the formation that could not maximize the characteristics of the players.

Not surprisingly, 442 will become the professor's flagship for a long time
formation.

"set off!"

Facing the morning light, Arsenal's bus drove out of London, and they headed north all the way to Liverpool.

"Hush~~~"

When entering the opponent's city for the first time, huge boos are absolutely indispensable. The Gunners players who have long been accustomed to this just laughed and joked with each other.

"Standard welcome, isn't it?"

"Haha, indeed."

"Feng, how is your condition?"

"Very good, how about you?"

"Just like you."

Sitting together, Cesc Fabregas and Liu Feng had a brief conversation for the last time before getting off the car, and then the two entered the Anfield parking lot together with the team.

This is a stadium that flows red from the inside to the outside. Liverpool's team logo, overwhelming red, and a huge murderous look, this grand away scene began to stimulate everyone in the Gunners.

Therefore, during the warm-up, the momentum of Arsenal's players showed even more fierce.

"Okay, audience friends, welcome to watch the 2010-2011 Premier League home match between Liverpool and Arsenal. I am the commentator Zhan Jun!"

As a well-known Red Army fan, almost all fans who like Zhan Jun's commentary understand this. At this moment, Zhan Jun's excited voice has a lot to do with his identity as a fan.

On one side is the team I love, and on the other side is the player I love. This is a commentary that is destined to be sweet and contradictory.

"It can be seen that the two teams have warmed up on the court one after another. The spirits of both sides look quite good. It seems that this game is destined to be a strong matchup."

With the passage of time, the warm-up time soon ended, and Zhan Jun and the fans in front of the TV began to calculate in their hearts as they watched the two sides enter the player tunnel.

Zhan Jun was balancing his mood, while the fans gathered in front of the TV and at the scene had already begun to think about the scene of the game.
