Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Lonely and Brave Arshavin

On April 22, the 33rd round of the league, home against Arsenal. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Arsenal have always had a bad fate.

Xiaofa can play, and he folded Van Persie again.

This game is a turnover.

Flipped, Liverpool's title this season is decided.

If they win this game, they will be nine points ahead of Manchester United, because Manchester United have already drawn this round a day earlier.

In the last five rounds, with a lead of nine points, it is a sure win.

With only six points ahead, then United will be able to catch up.

The good news is that Arsenal have lost a lot of money.

Arsenal's desire to win against Liverpool at Anfield is basically a dream, in fact, most of the media feel that Liverpool will also break through the Champions League.

In fact, the whole process of the game was just as the media speculated.

Arshavin was brave, Arshavin was strong and then Arsenal lost.

Everyone still remembers the amazing performance of Arshavin's senior when the two teams met in the first half of the season.

In this game, Arshavin's performance was not weak at all.

In the seventeenth minute, after receiving a pass from Song, Arshavin shot directly at the goal and broke through Reina's door without accident.

This kind of performance is already very eye-catching.

Arsenal are missing striker Robin van Persie, goalscorer Adebayor and even their goalkeeper Almunia are out of action, with the starting goalkeeper being Fabianski.

It was a surprise that Arsenal were able to take the lead.

Subsequently, Wang Zhen fired without hesitation, in the twenty-first minute, Wang Zhen received an assist from Riera in the penalty area, hit the goal at a small angle, hit the goalkeeper, and after the football bounced back, he shot again and hit Sagna, the football bounced back again, and the third time, Wang Zhen played the same position again.

This time, Fabianski didn't stop it, neither did Sagna, and the ball finally flew into the goal.

"Wang Zhen brushed three times on target, and then scored."

In the ensuing game, Daniel Agger made a rare burst into the box and received a pass from Gerrard from the right and fired a low shot into the back of the net.

It was already lagging behind, but Arshavin was not reconciled.

In the league and the Champions League, it is Arshavin who leads the team to rush, although Cesc Fabregas is still the core of Arsenal's midfield, and Wenger is unwilling to let Arshavin become the core, but in terms of game performance, Arshavin is undoubtedly more worthy of the two words of the core.

In the 39th minute, Arshavin frantically dribbled the ball on the left side, ran like a cheetah, passed Alonso and Mascherano to block together, and passed the ball to Bendtner's feet, who saved the assist in one fell swoop.

This was Arsenal's only good performance at the end.

After 50 minutes of play, everything fell into Liverpool's rhythm.

In the forty-seventh minute, just after the start of the second half, Wang Zhen and Torres collided with the wall in the penalty area.

In the 76th minute, Rieira rushed forward and scored Liverpool's fourth goal of the game with a long-range shot.

In the end, the score of the game was fixed at 4-2.

Liverpool are nine points ahead of Manchester United!

If this continues, then Manchester United will lose hope.

However, the situation has changed dramatically.

On April 25, just three days later, in the 34th round of the league, Benitez used a pure substitute lineup and Wang Zhen to play away from Hull City, leaving the main players to prepare for the Champions League game.

On this day, Wang Zhen still scored, scored the 38th goal of the Premier League, quickly approached the 40-goal mark, and completed the task of averaging more than one goal per game in the season ahead of schedule.

However, the team-mates were too poor to perform, and Hull City eventually relied on Brian Hughes' 87-minute winner to hold Liverpool to a hard-fought draw at home, leaving United with a chance to survive.

The schedule was too tangled, the games were intense, the schedule was tight, and the opponents in the Premier League semi-finals were in quick succession, leaving Liverpool very tired.

Breaks are inevitable.

Since there is a break, it is inevitable to lose points.

So far, if United win all of their remaining games, they will have 90 points.

And Liverpool is currently 84 points, and after winning two games, they will definitely win the league championship.

Of course, the media has something to say, the Liverpool Echo is passionate: "We have been steadily scoring points, stable history is rare, so far, we still retain the possibility of breaking the record to win the championship, but also retain the possibility of winning the championship undefeated, we never thought that after many years away from the league championship, we will return with such a strong performance!" ”

And most of the London media have different opinions: "Maybe everyone is tired of Manchester United's rule in recent years, but don't forget that during the Red Dynasty, our team was not doing well, I would prefer to see Liverpool lose at the last moment, and then the damned Ferguson fulfills his long-cherished wish for many years and is satisfied with the layoff, in that case, Premier League football can rise." ”

"Liverpool's finances are terrible, and we can predict that if Liverpool doesn't get something done this season, they won't even be able to pay out the bonuses."

"Is there a possibility that Liverpool will draw four in a row and take 88 points, while Manchester United will win four in a row and get 98 points? Of course, this is only ideal. Liverpool haven't lost this season, it's too difficult to expect them to lose, but they have too many draws, otherwise they would have left Manchester United behind a long time ago, just like Arsenal before, unbeaten means more draws, means more serious physical crisis. It's better to take a rest for all the main players, give up a game, lose a game, and then win the championship. ”

On the one hand, the players don't want to lose and want to keep this record until the end of the season, and the last time Liverpool lost was to Manchester United in the 31st round of the league last season.

In other words, Liverpool have not lost 41 games across the season, quickly approaching Arsenal's unbeaten league record, and not so far from Inter's super unbeaten record of 58 games.

This kind of thing, you can give up if you give up?

Now Liverpool is difficult to ride a tiger.

There are a lot of media outlets that have concluded that if Liverpool want to remain unbeaten in the league, then in the end, there is a good chance that the other two of the three titles will be lost.

And the articles of several pro-Manchester United journalists, of course, support Manchester United's end-of-season comeback.

If Liverpool really drew four in a row and finished runners-up in an unbeaten season, it would be a real shame.

Some media also pointed out that Wang Zhen is only one game away from tying the Premier League record of ten consecutive goals, and only two games away are new records.

What's more, Wang Zhen doesn't need to rest, and more problems lie with other Liverpool players.

In the second half, there were too many injuries to Liverpool players, Gerrard, Torres, and Alonso were all injured one after another, although it was only a small injury, but it was enough to make people vigilant.

Can Liverpool really hold on to the third line and go to the end at the same time?

On April 30, the Champions League semi-finals, away against Arsenal.

What's worse is that on April 27, in the just played England national team match, Gerrard was injured again.
