Chapter 52
The highlight of this round of the Premier League is Arsenal's home clash with Liverpool. The www.biquge.info of writing "Fun" Pavilion is not because of the rumors that Qin Shou made disrespectful remarks about Liverpool before the game, but that these two clubs are both traditional giants of the Premier League, and the background and strength of the two teams are also similar, and under the collision, it is bound to be extremely fierce.
Both teams have been in the LinkedIn Glenn top flight for more than a decade and have made a lasting impression on world football in their respective eras. In terms of honours and the mark they have left behind, Liverpool are much better than Arsenal. However, after the restructuring of the Premier League, Liverpool gradually declined, but Arsenal rose rapidly, and also won the Premier League crown many times, from this point of view, Arsenal is much luckier than Liverpool.
Of course, no matter how glorious the history of the two teams has been, one thing cannot be denied, that is, these two teams are mainly red, and they are a veritable pair of difficult brothers - Liverpool has been in a slump since being pulled down by the Red Devils Manchester United, and has been firmly suppressed by the league rival Manchester United, and what is even more embarrassing is that after the establishment of the Premier League, Liverpool has never touched the top league championship trophy, which is simply shameless for a giant club like Liverpool with a long history and glorious tradition.
Arsenal is not much better, after winning the championship with a 49-game unbeaten record in the 0304 season, Arsenal has missed the championship trophy, and the glory has been a blank period of eight or nine years, which has been used by countless people as an excuse for jokes and even attacks and ridicule. Arsene Wenger was once again given a free nickname by Mourinho: the Failure Specialist – the previous free nickname was Voyeurism.
Arsenal's awkward situation is evident.
So, although it is undeniable that Liverpool and Arsenal are the giants of the Premier League and are the favorites every year, in essence, these two teams have long lost their dominance in the league, and they are more of a spoiler, setting obstacles for teams like Manchester United and Chelsea to win the title.
However, in any case, it cannot be denied that these two teams still have great strength, and every time the red and red collide, sparks are also flying, and fierce and exciting scenes emerge one after another.
Especially this summer, Arsenal have invested as if they were fighting for their lives, bringing in so many good players, their strength and self-confidence have swelled like never before, and their desire for the league title is clear, and now playing against a strong opponent like Liverpool is the time to test the true quality of this new Gunners.
Before the start of this high-profile match, most fans and journalists were still more optimistic about Arsenal playing at home. Despite their ups and downs in recent times, it's worth noting that Arsenal have yet to suffer a single defeat since the start of the new season, neither in the league nor in Europe.
Even if the state of Qin Shou, the core figure of Arsenal, is a little worrying, and he has fallen into a goal drought of nearly 600 minutes, but professionals can see that Qin Shou has played a huge role in this team, so what if he doesn't score? His assists, his playmaking, can still be a headache for opponents.
In addition, it is a home game, and the winning chance is much greater.
Of course, this is not absolute. The Reds' Liverpool tradition can be summed up in two words: tenacity. This is a team full of fighting spirit and courage, no matter what the circumstances, their fighting spirit is always high, even if they are behind by a big score, their tenacious will not to give up can make opponents dare not underestimate.
However, their current situation in the league is not very good, compared to the league has not yet lost, Arsenal, who are currently second in the league with 23 points, and Liverpool, who have five wins, two draws and two losses in nine league games and 17 points, are only sixth in the league.
The league standings at this stage don't mean much, especially in a strong conversation like this, but it does tell us a little bit that, at least in that respect, Arsenal are in better form than Liverpool.
And Arsenal now has a much more squad than Liverpool, which is the advantage of the home team.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The big game is coming, but the atmosphere of the team is as calm as ever, except for training, it is still training.
The reason why Arsenal's embarrassing record of not winning a championship in nine years is that in addition to the team's lack of success, the biggest reason for the change in the club's development strategy is the team itself.
Perhaps because of Wenger's own personality, his team is a little fragile in temperament, and such a "polite" technical school temperament makes Arsenal often unable to take advantage of tough battles. When you are strong and invincible, you can't win when you are weak, so you drop the chain from time to time, and if you want to win the league championship, it is basically a luxury.
Arsene Wenger is also aware that in the Premier League, where the pace and confrontation are faster and more intense, the team's soft style of play is very disadvantageous, so he has been looking for ways to change it in recent years. And this summer, the team introduced a number of players, after running-in, the style of play finally changed, at least Qin Shou led by a group of players, the style is very tough, which made Arsenal at the beginning of the league, experienced the baptism of vicious battles, so as to become more confident.
Arsene Wenger is well aware of the importance of this game, not only because it is a three-point league game, but most intuitively because it will be a real battle of confidence for the team.
Liverpool is a famous hard bone in the Premier League, if Arsenal can be afraid of collisions, and then win, then you can tell everyone in England - the current Arsenal is no longer the soft bone of the past, we are not afraid of confrontation, no fear of challenges, we are invincible, to hell with them!
Arsene Wenger was very serious about this game and wanted to win the game, but he didn't show that urgency on his face. He believes his players will understand what this game means for the team, and he doesn't need to say much, it just adds to the pressure.
So he and his team just studied and analyzed the opponent and made the most appropriate arrangement, and the rest was to seriously lead the team to train, and the rest would be handed over to the game at that time.
All the preparation was for the official competition, but whether the competition would go the way he had prepared it would be is only for God to know.
In football, just try your best to do your best, no matter how strong your determination is, sometimes God's will can't be changed.

November 2nd.
From five o'clock, fans entered the fan stands through the ticket gates, and after half past five, the four stands of the stadium were full, and Arsenal fans wore red home jerseys, doing what they used to do in their seats, singing the hot song: "Call London".
Almost all of England's teams have their own traditions, but some are famous and some are not. It's like Anfield Stadium, where tens of thousands of people chant "thisisanfield!" That kind of huge sound and fierce momentum, like a monstrous wave continues to invade people's hearts, it is estimated that people with weak psychological endurance may be scared on the field.
Comparatively speaking, the tradition of Arsenal fans singing is much softer, but don't underestimate this way, the fans' singing is like a kind of magic, which can make people's blood boil and full of power, which is also very helpful for the team to get into the game very quickly.
'If I wasn't going to Anfield, I actually enjoyed playing against Liverpool.
Qin Shou and a group of teammates appeared on the court, preparing for the final warm-up before the opening. Walcoat muttered softly beside him.
Theo Walcott is a veteran of the Premier League, having played against all sorts of opponents, but no matter how many times he has been to Anfield, he doesn't like the atmosphere. Anfield is too noisy, and this kind of noise can easily upset people and affect performance. Not to mention, some young players with little experience are estimated to be weakened by such shouts on the field.
So in the Premier League, there are very few teams with a very good record at Anfield, with the exception of Manchester United, a team that shares the same sworn rivals as Liverpool, and on the pitch at Anfield, whether they win or lose, they are all swaggering - as Sir Alex Ferguson often brags about, the greatest achievement of my life is not how many titles I have won, how many honours I have won, but ...... Pulled Liverpool off the throne!
So whether the game is won or lost, Manchester United have a reason to be proud, so they are not afraid of Liverpool.
And Arsenal is one of the teams that has not had a very good record at Anfield, but it doesn't matter, at the Emirates Stadium, Liverpool has not taken advantage of much, so at their home stadium, Walcott and other Arsenal players are not afraid of each other.
"I don't think it's just Liverpool, I'm afraid any team if it's at the Emirates Stadium, you'll dismiss it." Qin Shou shook his head and responded with a smile.
Walcott is an avid Arsenal supporter, so his mind is simple: maybe Arsenal are not the best team in England, but they must be the best. It is this mentality that makes him a little disdainful of any other team.
"Hey, hey."
Walcott, who was pierced in his mind, was not embarrassed, he laughed twice, ignored Qin Shou, and took a group of teammates to the side to start warming up.
Qin Shou shook his head again, and when his eyes looked around again, he saw a guy with a bitter face walking towards him.
