"Will the rain stop tomorrow?" Klopp asked his assistant.

"The weather forecast says there's an 80 percent chance it's going to be sunny." Kravitz said.

"They also said it was going to be sunny today." Klopp complained, shaking his head as he looked out the window at the rain that was pouring in.

The whole Liverpool team arrived in London three days ago, just got off the bus and ushered in a downpour, and then the rain did not stop for three days, the news said that some neighborhoods in London have been flooded, this is still London's drainage system is developed, and people have very rich experience in flood fighting, otherwise the situation will be even worse.

Jurgen Klopp doesn't care about the flooding in London, he's worried about tomorrow's FA Cup clash with Arsenal.

Although if it is a heavy rainy weather, this will be more unfavorable for Arsenal, which is dominated by technical flow, but it is also the same for Liverpool, with Coutinho, Salah, Sterling, Lallana and Jiang Chenxi, Liverpool is not playing rough now, on the contrary, it is playing more beautifully, not to mention, with Liverpool's current strength, there is no need for weather factors to restrain Arsenal.

In fact, if there is one opponent that Liverpool favourite in the traditional BIG6, it is Arsenal.

Liverpool played against Arsenal in the league this season, scoring nine goals and conceding five goals in two legs, playing very open and hilarious.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is also keeping an eye on the weather.

He has asked the whole squad to prepare for both situations, and in the past two days of training, Arsenal have already familiarised and rehearsed the tactics of playing in the rain.

"Which of the two situations do you think will affect Jiang's performance, rainy or sunny?" Arsene Wenger asked his old partner Pat. Rice.

Pat. Rice knows what Wenger is worried about, in fact, Wenger has been studying Liverpool's game these days, Arsenal wants to beat Liverpool in the FA Cup final, whether they can limit Jiang Chenxi is the key, this season, Jiang Chenxi scored 4 goals in two legs against Arsenal, and from the perspective of the game process, Jiang Chenxi's threat is far from being fully expressed by four goals. It is no exaggeration to say that Arsenal was almost defeated by Jiang Chenxi alone.

Arsene Wenger has been studying how to restrain Jiang Chenxi, but the results have not been promising.

can grab points, be fast, not weak in physical confrontation, and shoot from a distance, except that there is no dazzling little technology like Messi who flashes and moves people in a small space, Jiang Chenxi is almost a perfect embodiment of a shooter!

"It's better to have a sunny day." Pat. Rice said, "If it rains, it will increase the chance of some accidents, and for a player like Jiang who is good at seizing opportunities, it is even more terrifying!" ”

Wenger didn't speak, just sighed and shook his head, there was once such a big baby in front of him, but he hesitated and retreated because of the value of 20 million euros, if God gave him another chance, he would ......

……

The Premier League has come to an end.

The FA Cup final between Liverpool and Arsenal was the final game of the season.

The streets of London are full of Liverpool fans and Arsenal fans, of course, because the final venue is at the new Wembley Stadium in London, Arsenal fans can be regarded as the host.

The FA Cup final has a special meaning in English football. England is considered to be the birthplace of modern football, with the FA Cup, which began in 1871 and is one of the oldest modern football competitions in the world.

Almost every FA Cup final since 1923 has been held at Wembley Stadium (except during the construction of the new Wembley), and each year's trophy has been awarded by a Commonwealth monarch or other member of the royal family.

Before each race, the Royal Guard escorts the trophies out of the stadium and the music played before the race is the tune chosen by the King of England in 1923.

The FA Cup was once the most important football competition in the UK, and until the 70s, the FA Cup was far more important than the league title.

When Liverpool won the FA Cup for the first time in 1965, coach Shankly announced that Liverpool was finally a big team. In fact, Liverpool have won six league titles before and reached the semi-finals of the European Champions Cup that year, but in the eyes of Shankly and Liverpool, they are not great without winning the FA Cup!

However, since the beginning of the 21st century, the status of the FA Cup has declined with the popularity of live TV and the birth of the Premier League.

Once upon a time, the English FA Cup represented the glory of a football team. But in today's increasingly commercial leagues, the FA Cup has become a burden for the giants. Because the FA Cup is a history and tradition that must be respected for strong teams, the team's results must not be too bad. If a strong team strategically abandons the FA Cup early, it will be criticized by public opinion. Jurgen Klopp, for example, considered abandoning the domestic cup competition, but after communicating with the club's hierarchy, Liverpool chose to abandon the League Cup instead of the FA Cup, precisely because of the importance of the FA Cup.

Compared with league and Champions League qualification, the FA Cup has a pitiful amount of prize money and temptation, and it can be said that in addition to representing an honor, its prize money is only a drop in the bucket for the giants. As for exposure and influence, I'm sorry, today's Premier League giants don't need it at all.

Of course, this is talking about the process, now it has come to the FA Cup final, the Premier League has come to an end, for both Liverpool and Arsenal, now they are very eager for this title, Liverpool is eager to win the FA Cup, achieve the double, and also bid farewell to captain Gerrard with the double, and for Arsenal, after many years without a title, the FA Cup is Arsenal's hope now, won the FA Cup last season, which is Arsenal won the FA Cup in the 2004/2005 season, After nine years without winning any more championships, I tasted the championship again.

And before nine years did not lead Arsenal to win the championship, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was once questioned, and even faced a crisis of resignation, won the FA Cup last season, which temporarily relieved the pressure of Wenger's championship, and now, this season Arsenal has returned to the familiar rhythm of the league fighting for four and the Champions League defeat, Wenger is once again facing a lot of pressure, at this time, Arsenal has reached the FA Cup final again, and winning this title will once again relieve the pressure on Wenger.

In this regard, some media and fans have even invented a new term, and they have a new role definition of the FA Cup trophy: thermos cup!
