Chapter 127: The Battle of Tianwang Mountain (Part II)
In fact, this small stage of the schedule is very challenging for Arsenal. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the league, they will face a series of tough opponents, first in the "title race" away from Liverpool, and then they will return to home to meet the Red Devils Manchester United, and after this game, the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final will kick off, and Atletico Madrid will be a guest at home.
These three games are all of great significance, and there is no room for too many mistakes. Not to mention the match against Liverpool, the battle for first and second place in the league is of unusual significance in itself, and victory or defeat will have a significant impact on the next journey to the championship.
And the game with Manchester United, not to mention the grievances between Arsenal and Manchester United, starting from the most practical place, if Arsenal defeated Liverpool, it was not easy to widen the gap in points, but the result was a home hatred in the game with Manchester United, then this effort is not in vain? The gap has been narrowed to five points again, isn't this a bamboo basket for nothing?
To make matters worse, if Arsenal lose to Liverpool and then to Manchester United, then well, the top spot will have to be ceased, and they will go from leaders to chasers in an instant, and such a change of mentality may shake the team's will to win the championship, which will cause irreparable damage.
So the best way is to get rid of Liverpool and then Manchester United, so that these two traditional Premier League giants can sacrifice the flag for Arsenal's road to the championship - of course, this is also a very difficult task, Liverpool can bite the points, rank second in the standings, and the strength should not be underestimated. And Manchester United is not a bone to gnaw on, although the departure of Alex Ferguson has plunged the Red Devils into turmoil this season, and the results have been up and down, but the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and the Premier League national derby is not just talking, many times it is not who is stronger, and whoever is ranked higher will definitely win. It is foreseeable that in the red battle with Arsenal, Manchester United will definitely go all out, and you will bite a piece of meat on you.
In comparison, the second leg of the Champions League against Atletico Madrid was easier, after all, Arsenal won 3-2 in the first leg and scored three away goals. But not to be taken lightly, Atletico are only one goal behind on aggregate, and if they can win at the Emirates Stadium, it is likely that Arsenal will be eliminated.
To sum up, in the next three games, Arsenal will not be easy to play, but they must play, and they must try to win as much as possible. If you don't win, you can't win, and Arsenal can't take it seriously.
However, no matter how arduous the task is, Arsenal can only grit their teeth and eat bite by bite, and their first task is the "battle of Tianwang Mountain" with Liverpool in front of them.

When he was in the players' tunnel, Qin Shou ran into Liverpool's captain Gerrard, to be exact, it was Gerrard who took the initiative to come over and greet Qin Shou with a smile. The soul of the Red Army is still the same as before, with a bitter melon face, but when he laughs, it still makes people feel very affinity.
Although the "arrogant" remarks of Liverpool fans and local media angered Arsenal fans before the game, the two fought-for-tat battles on the official website and newspapers for a while, but the players on both sides did not participate, and Qin Shou and Gerrard's personal relationship is also good, they are enemies on the field, friends off the field, and since they have taken pictures in the passage, there is no reason to say hello.
"Hey, Qin, long time no see."
Gerrard walked over and patted Qin Shou on the shoulder, although the bitter gourd face was still the bitter gourd face, Qin Shou could still see the joy between the other party's eyebrows, presumably Liverpool's record in recent times was indeed too good, so that the Red Army, who had played for Anfield all his life but had never tasted the taste of the league championship, ignited the hope of the championship, which seemed a little proud.
Qin Shou smiled, where has I not seen him for a long time, at the previous Golden Ball Awards ceremony, Qin Shou also saw Gerrard, although the captain of the Red Army was not shortlisted for the final three-person selection list, but because he is also a very important player in world football, he is naturally qualified to enter the ********, after Qin Shou won the award, this guy was still clapping and cheering in the audience.
"Steven, you look a little smug, why, before the game starts, you think you and your team have won?"
The relationship with Gerald is quite close, so Qin Shou has no scruples when he speaks, and directly laughs and teases.
"Hah, you can see this? yes, it's not started yet, but I think we have what it takes to beat you in this stadium. How about it, Qin, let me tell you first, even if you cry in the end, I won't invite you to dinner after the game. ”
Gerrard's position in Liverpool is unshakable, and he makes people look very powerful with a bitter face on weekdays, but the deeper he intersects with him, Qin Shou finds that this guy is actually a "tease", as if at this moment, he looks like he is calculating, and said: "You were lucky to beat us at the Emirates Stadium before, and you didn't invite me to dinner after the game." If you lose this time, I won't treat you, so I'll settle it. ”
“……”
Qin Shou could only hehe, speechless.
"Don't look like this, we're old friends anyway, otherwise, I'll be generous, and after the season, I'll bring the league championship trophy to you for dinner. I won't let you suffer, how about borrowing my medal for a few days for you to play? ”
Gerard stretched out his hand and grabbed Qin Shou's shoulder, squeezing his eyebrows for a while. Standing not far from Gerrard's side were Suarez and Coutinho, and the conversation between Gerrard and Qin Shou all fell into the ears of the two, Suarez covered his face with his hands, looking ashamed to see people, and distanced himself from Geraldera.
The young Coutinho, on the other hand, was full of confusion, and it is estimated that the worldview of the Brazilian rising star has fallen into collapse - is this still the majestic captain I am familiar with? This is clearly a comic comparison, and it's still very funny.
Qin Shou knocked off Gerald's arm with "disgust", and held back a word from between his teeth: "Get out." ”
Gerard still smiled and continued: "That's it, Qin, although I don't want to lend the championship medal to others, but who let us have a good relationship, you are my friend, I have to endure the pain of parting love, which can be regarded as comforting and comforting your injured little heart." Well, I'm righteous enough, right? ”
"Enough, how not enough? Enough is enough! Qin Shou hated itchy, and said with a sneer, "Since you said so, I can't be stingy, so I will do my best to defeat you, and then move on, win the league championship, and then ...... Invite you to dinner, borrow your medals to play. ”
"Yo yo yo, I'm still angry. Let's not bring this, I'm older than you, I'm your big brother, I said I want to borrow you to play, I want to borrow you to play, you can't accept it. As for you borrowing me medals, ha...... Forget it, I'll borrow you. Gerald continued to chirp, "Big deal, I'll ask you one more time." ”
Qin Shoudu was about to be crooked by Gerald's "shamelessness", and said "humbly": "How can my younger brother ask for my eldest brother's things, the medal is still my 'filial piety' to you." ”
"My brother wants to take care of my brother, I'll give it to you!"
"No, I'll give it to you!"
"If you don't want it, that's not giving me face, you have to!"
"How much is face worth? We've got the championship! ”
"You...... Hmph, we'll see! ”
The two are completely on the bar, and in the players' tunnel, you are-for-tat and quarrelsome.
The players of the two teams around are completely long "postures", Nima, are these two guys normal people? It is said that the daily life of girlfriends is tearing, is it the daily life of good friends...... Tearing?
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Qin Shou and Gerrard's "tearing battle" finally ended with the intervention of the staff, and the fourth official came to remind the game that the time was almost up, so that the two teams could enter the field quickly.
Rao is like this, when the two separated, they still blew their noses and glared, and Gerald yelled at Qin Shou: "I want you to look good later!" ”
In exchange for Qin Shou's sneer.
The players of the two teams around him were once again extremely embarrassed, and they all looked like they didn't know these two people.
Once everything was in place, the two teams began to enter the pitch.
When the light at the entrance of the tunnel shone on the players of both teams, the Anfield stadium instantly shook like an earthquake, and the mountains roared and the tsunami swept over the sky with cheers and curses.
Cheers, naturally, are given to the home team.
And the scolding and roaring are gifts to Arsenal.
"This is Anfield!"
"This is the grave of all enemies!"
"Remember, it's Liverpool who beat you! We will always be the greatest team in the world, and we are invincible! ”
The shouts of the KOPs grew louder and louder, and by the end of the day, the cheers for the home team had disappeared, and the entire stadium was filled with boos and roars for Arsenal.
It was like a flash flood, and it seemed that the stadium was trembling to the roar of the fans.
Although it is not the first time to come here, every time I come here, it can be regarded as a painful ordeal, and the Arsenal players who come out have a trace of helplessness and annoyance on their faces, and even some young players have a trace of fear.
There's no way around it, the atmosphere in this stadium is too violent and turbulent, because it's ...... Ah, Anfield! (To be continued.) )
