Chapter 239: Jiang Chenxi VS Arsenal (1st Update, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The Emirates Stadium is boiling.
It was a highlight of the 31st round of the 2014/2015 English Premier League, with Liverpool taking on Arsenal away at the Emirates Stadium in London.
Liverpool had beaten Arsenal by a big score at home, so the media was still optimistic that Liverpool would be able to get out of the emirate stadium before the game.
Of course, some media and fans said that they were afraid of Arsenal in the state of 'fighting for the four' when they went crazy.
The Chinese media and fans are also paying close attention to the match, and they want to see what kind of wonderful chemistry Jiang Chenxi will have when she meets the Race for the Four.
The media also popularized science for some fans who had just come into contact with football because of Jiang Chenxi, explaining what 'fighting for the four mad demons' meant.
This is a noun explanation.
The Race for Four is a reference to the Premier League team Arsenal, which includes two connotations: the first is the fight for four, which refers to the fact that the team has basically always finished the season in fourth place in recent years, no matter what the circumstances; Mad Demon, describing the team's unsolvable state of "God blocking and killing God and Buddha blocking and killing Buddha" in order to finish fourth, this state does not run through the whole season, but always appears at the most critical juncture, especially when public opinion is declining.
Although it has only become a buzzword in the past two or three years, Arsenal has been pouring material for this title for nearly 10 years: since the fourth place in the 05-06 season, the "Crazy Devil for the Four" has quietly embarked on the road of no return, in the past 8 seasons, Arsenal ranked fourth 6 times, and the other two times, when fighting for the fourth, he exerted too much force and accidentally won the third place.
……
In the legend of "Fighting for the Four Crazy Demons", there is a 10,000-year-old golden supporting character - Tottenham, a sworn enemy from north London. In the eyes of the media, if there is no Tottenham, the "Fight for the Four" will definitely lose a lot of color.
Most of the others are watching the excitement, how fierce the four crazy demons are, only Tottenham knows best, don't believe you ask Bale. At the beginning of May 2013, the fierce battle for the top four in the Premier League even led to a showdown between NBA stars: Tottenham Hotspur diehard Nash vs Porti's friend No. Needless to say, Arsenal managed to finish fourth, and Tottenham seemed to have been overshadowed by Arsenal's race for four after that mysterious food poisoning.
The lively media also summed up the law, "four crazy demons" are not used to leading, most of their magic is bottom-up, this is also the most common form of the Gunners to surprise people, this law is not even only reflected in the league, such as in March 2013 in the second leg of the Champions League in Allianz, who would have thought that the Gunners who were almost sentenced to death in advance could beat Neuer did not dare to hand over the ball, although the final regret was out, the Gunners suddenly seemed to have opened up the second pulse of Ren Du: 8 wins and 2 draws in the last 10 rounds of the league, "Fight for the Four Crazy Demons" Crazy even they are afraid of themselves.
The 2011/2012 season, when the Gunners only scored seven points from the first seven rounds of the game and ended up in third place, with Tottenham in fourth place one point behind a one-point deficit.
With such a special team, in this era where the spirit of entertainment has been overflowing, it is impossible not to be spoiled. So all kinds of jokes came into being on the Internet: God first, Mourinho second, third I don't know who it is, but fourth is Arsenal; Football is the sport in which 20 teams play for a season and then Arsenal finishes fourth; When you see "Schalke Zero Arsenal", you will understand in seconds, and we have just said goodbye to the 201 Arsenal year......
For this kind of ridicule, Arsenal fans from the beginning of the anger, to the slow habit, and even they are involved in it, in order to laugh at themselves, to speak, this is also extremely painful in the heart, but there is nothing to be done.
……
This is also the first time that Jiang Chenxi has met Arsenal, which has entered the 'madness' stage in the impact stage of the season.
The performance of such an Arsenal team in today's game did surprise him a little.
Their tenacity and aggressiveness in the game surprised many.
Even the narrator John? Mortensen is saying, "...... Arsenal's performance was a surprise, they were very scrappy, they were very aggressive, everyone was desperate...... Well, that's exactly what we know about Arsenal, and every season goes into this time and they're crazy...... They keep tackling and fouling in the game. Make it difficult for Liverpool's attack to move forward smoothly......"
"Liverpool's lineup in this game is not complete, and now they only have Jiang in their attacking point, which is conducive to Arsenal to defend, as long as they contain the passing route to Jiang, they will be half successful, so, Arsenal's tactics are correct, they use fouls to contain Liverpool's attack, so that they can't find the rhythm of the attack, and can't provide more support for Jiang......" Lineker praised Wenger's tactics in today's game and the performance of Arsenal's players.
……
Yes, Jurgen Klopp's worst fears have come to pass, with Liverpool suffering another injury during the two-week international break.
Salah was injured during the Egyptian national team's game, and although the injury was not severe, he would also be out for about two weeks.
Raheem Sterling suffered muscle soreness during the England game and will not be able to play this game.
In addition, Lovren suffered a strain in training after returning and was unable to play today.
In addition, Coutinho is still recovering from an injury and it will take another week or so to return.
Coupled with the fact that the team's captain Steven Gerrard was banned for a direct red card in the last round of the game, Liverpool's starting lineup today can be said to be a remnant.
The goalkeeper is Mignolet, the central defender is a partnership between the veterans Colo Toure and Sako, and the left-back is Jose. Enrique, right-back is Glenn. Johnson.
The midfielders are the team's captain Jordan Henderson, Joe Allen, Lucas Jr., Alberto. Moreno and Lallana.
On the front line is Jiang Chenxi.
Therefore, the commentator joked that this game is Jiang Chenxi VS Arsenal.
The lack of Coutinho's organization in the midfield, as well as the ability of Salah and Sterling to attack on the wing, so, as commentator Lineker said, this means that Liverpool's attack can only rely on Jiang Chenxi's attack point, and Arsenal's defense is more targeted.
……
On the field, Liverpool did play very passively, and their offensive advancement was difficult, except for Lallana and Jiang Chenxi who could have a certain chemistry, it was difficult for other midfielders to have excellent offensive performances.
In the face of Arsenal's tough defense, Jiang Chenxi's speed is also difficult to play a role, as long as he gets the ball, there are at least two Arsenal players around him, and the opponent's kick is very decisive and fierce, once he can't intercept normally, he will decisively foul.
PS: The first is offered, ask for a monthly pass, brothers, ask for help.
