Chapter 104 Encounter with Liverpool

Even after selling the main players of Adebayo and Toure, the Gunners beat Everton six to one at the beginning of the new season. The Prophets' scattered glasses were not ready to pick them up until the team was defeated by Chelsea at the end of November last year. But they gained a foothold in the cold winter and relied on Xiao Qing's strong performance to taste the top spot.

However, in Arsenal's season, there is always a dispute over style and purpose: playing beautifully and playing the championship, it seems that it cannot be integrated. Although Arsenal is still the leader in the league, and although Arsenal has finally laughed in two consecutive top-ranking battles, they are not absolutely safe now. Although they have the initiative to compete for the championship, Arsenal still cannot take it lightly.

With the shortcomings of the lineup, experience is what Manchester United and Chelsea have the advantage of championship competition. Compared with Arsenal, both teams have enough experience in winning the championship. They are more mature and do not have many fatal flaws. So although Arsenal has achieved good results now, they still need to work harder to deal with the next game. Arsenal finally achieved some advantages, and they cannot squander opportunities at this time. For the young Gunners, now is a good opportunity for them to sprint, and they need to seize them.

With age structure, physical fitness and tactical cultivation, Arsenal's younger generation has no advantage, only skills are left, while skills are only destined to be out of the way. This is the impression Arsenal left to fans and media in the two top battles. Although Arsenal has overcome the difficulties in a difficult situation, Arsenal's shortcomings are still quite worrying.

Cultivating new people, living within their means, advocating technology, and focusing on offense. These are all right; Wenger misses the shaping of his personality while paying attention to technology, and his tactical deployment is becoming more paranoid and naive. He is not raising education, which leads to the fragile personality of these players, unable to withstand setbacks, and being mermaid in adversity. They enjoy the flattery of the media too much and forget that they have not yet achieved the size of their own, so they are blindly arrogant.

It has to be admitted that the Gunners' players are young and talented. They are also the best and most gorgeous team in the Premier League; but when Arsenal won the half-time championship, they received too much praise, and they were praised by many fans and media. So the young Gunners were a little inflated, and they were almost put in a desperate situation in the top battle with Manchester United and Chelsea.

If Xiao Qing had not had decisive and exciting performances in these two consecutive games, then I believe that Arsenal will definitely be extremely distressed and they will definitely be criticized overwhelmed. Although the score seems to be very beneficial to Arsenal, it is just that Arsenal's performance during the game is really depressing.

Xiao Qing is really unable to complain about Arsenal's schedule. The continuous encounters of strong enemies have greatly increased the pressure of the Gunners during this period. They have no chance to rest at this time, and they even feel that they can't breathe. Arsenal did achieve good performance in the two consecutive top matches. But the opponent in the next 26th round is Liverpool, another Premier League giant.

Although Liverpool is not strong when facing weakness, it can also be attributed to the lack of the main force, the lineup is not in order, and the strength is poached by the giants to the second-rate. However, the team has the fighting spirit. Even at the dimest moment, Benitez also bite the "top four" to death. Finally, he hopes to win four consecutive home games and be unbeaten in seven rounds. He dragged himself from the seventh back to the top four, and partially fulfilled his promise.

Although Liverpool's performance this season is disappointing, the performance of the Reds Liverpool in recent times can still satisfy the fans. After ranking seventh in the standings, they finally climbed quickly in the standings with their unbeaten in the last seven rounds. Although they have lost the opportunity to compete for the league championship and although they are not small in the gap with the No. 1 Group, Liverpool still has a good chance to win the top four in the standings and return to the Champions League next season.

Liverpool has now scored 44 points, but they are only one point ahead of Tottenham. Manchester City and Villa behind them have both accumulated 41 points, and this is still the case when both teams are playing one round less. So Liverpool's situation is not safe now. They need to work harder to ensure that they are not too embarrassed in the standings. They need to seize the opportunity in the remaining thirteen rounds.

Arsenal is Liverpool's next strong opponent. They were defeated by Arsenal at Anfield Stadium. At that time, Liverpool also fell to the bottom of the first half of the game. But now Liverpool's chance to revenge has come, and they have the opportunity to challenge the league leaders with their recent good form, and they have the opportunity to fight Arsenal well.

"For us, it will be a crucial game. Our goal is to be able to get closer to the top three rankings through this game. Of course, our goal for the whole season is to finish the previous four, but as long as Arsenal gives us a little chance to surpass, we will seize it." Gerrard told Sports Talk in a UK Radio. "We will compress their space and give them a fatal blow when fighting back. Everyone knows that if you give Arsenal time and space, they will definitely crucify you."

Xiao Qing was a little stunned. Arsenal did not have the energy to fight verbal with others now, but this does not mean that Arsenal is so easy to bully; Xiao Qing never expected that Liverpool could not stand the loneliness before the 26th round of the game began, and Xiao Qing never expected that Gerald would start to issue a letter of battle at this time.

To be honest, although Xiao Qing sympathizes with Liverpool's current down-and-out situation, he is a little sad about such a giant with a brilliant history. But he really doesn't care about Liverpool, and he doesn't think Liverpool has the ability to overturn Arsenal.

Perhaps this is just Gerald's desire to say that the team wants to go further in the standings, or perhaps this is just Liverpool's determination to take revenge away; but this will not affect the Gunners' pride at all. Although there were some bumps in the first two top games, Arsenal's strength has been proven, and he achieved good performance in the most difficult schedule of the season, which also made Arsenal's players more confident now.

"Liverpool is a team that has to be respected. Their history is admired by all players. They are great teams and they have amazing records. But everyone knows that many times records are a goal that motivates players to move forward. I don't know if I can achieve more brilliant results in Arsenal, but I know that I am working hard to do my job well now and I need to help the team do better. Liverpool, I know that their situation is not very good now; they want to go further in the standings, and we also need to work hard to maintain the advantages we have finally achieved. Their goal is the top four leagues and the qualifications of the Champions League, and our goal is to win the league championship!" Xiao Qing said bluntly, which completely detonated the public opinion media. It is obvious that this is Xiao Qing's counterattack to Gerrard, and Xiao Qing's counterattack is also a great irony to Liverpool.

Liverpool's goal is to stabilize the top four in the standings, but Arsenal's goal is to win the league championship! Liverpool does have a brilliant history, but that is already a thing of the past. Liverpool may only be silent in the glory of the past, and the young Gunners are creating their glory step by step!

Xiao Qing's words made the English media very excited. As for Liverpool fans, they were naturally extremely unhappy. They thought Xiao Qing was too arrogant and arrogant. They were all looking forward to Arsenal being taught a severe lesson by Liverpool at home.

Although Arsenal captured Anfield Stadium in the first half of the game, Liverpool fans are still very confident in the team because they do not think that Arsenal has the strength to double defeat Liverpool, even if Arsenal is now the leader of the league. First, Arsenal has performed a bit of a bumpy performance in the last two rounds of games, and second, Liverpool has remained unbeaten in the last seven rounds of games, and their condition is really good!

The league double-winning Reds have rarely happened in recent years. When was the last time Arsenal did this? 2003-04 season! As we all know, that was the last season when Arsenal won the league championship, and that season's Gunners also completed the first miracle of unbeaten and final victory in Premier League history. However, time flies, I believe that many Gunners' fans never expected that from defeating Liverpool four-two at home in April 2004 until now, Arsenal has been unable to double-win Liverpool in the league for too long.

The waiting process was so difficult. During this period, Arsenal was not only driven from the throne by Chelsea, but in the past three years, as Manchester United regained the domineering power of the 1990s, the Gunners' watch over the league championship turned into the Premier League version of "Waiting for Godot".

Although Arsenal now seems to be in a much better situation than Liverpool in the league, when they did not win the final championship, both teams were relatively down and out of Premier League giants, and their situation was relatively embarrassing. At best, this can only allow Gunners fans to have more pride and boast when facing KOPs.
