Last season, Liverpool and Arsenal finished third and fourth respectively in the league, and although everyone has to play in the Champions League qualifiers, it is always uncomfortable to be crushed under them anyway.

What's more, before this game, Arsenal and Liverpool were the only two teams in the Premier League who were unbeaten so far, and there must have been a desire between the two clubs to press each other and let themselves enjoy the honor for themselves.

So at the start of the game, both sides showed the same very positive outlook.

For Liverpool, they still lined up the strongest squad this season, goalkeeper Reina, from left to right at the back of Reese, Carragher, Hyypia, Arbeloa, two backs Gerrard and Alonso, left midfielder Babel, right midfielder Benayoun, Torres partner Kuyt in the front.

This lineup has finally proved Benitez's vision this season, although Kuyt is still an unprolific striker, and the left midfield position has always been Liverpool's shortcoming, and striker Babel is needed from time to time to make a cameo, but on the whole, Spain's "Holy Child" Torres quickly showed his world-class striker style after spending the first few games of the run-in, and Kuyt's desperate Saburo characteristics also built a wall for Liverpool in the front, and Carragher and Hyypia on the back line can be called the anchor of the sea, Not to mention the Jie team that has been the same for 20 years, and Mascherano sitting on the bench, this Liverpool team may be the strongest Liverpool in the decade before and after.

Compared to Liverpool, Arsenal's squad is not so neat, and Van Persie is tired up front. Eduardo was substituted, and since Adebayo also played in all the previous games, the professor simply arranged 5 midfielders in this game, and only Eduardo was one more person in the front line.

In Arsenal's midfield, Cesc Fabregas was pushed up in the midfield position, leaving Flamini and Lars at the back. Diarra, right midfielder Rosicky returned from injury to replace Walcoat, and left midfielder is still Hleb, who has performed well this season.

The backline was the least changed, with Senderos still out injured and Galla forced on with a minor injury. Thankfully, another defender, Toure, was always on full duty. The holes in the centre-back line have been greatly alleviated, and the right-back is Sagna, who is gradually in the main force of the team, and after the run-in of the first few games, the Frenchman is getting better and better. It has made Arsenal fans forget about the holes on the right flank last season. The left-back, on the other hand, brought on Eboue. Clichy is also one of the few players to have played all the games this season. No matter how clumsy the professor is in rotation, he doesn't dare to let him play the full game for 16 consecutive games.

It looked like Arsene Wenger's thinking was clear, trying to keep the first half even. In the second half, he waited for an opportunity to counterattack, and his hole card was Descartes who was sitting on the bench in this game.

The two teams played a spark last season, Arsenal visited Anfield three times, with a record of 2 wins and 1 loss, and they played a high score of 6:3 in the quarter-finals of the League Cup, but lost 1:4 in the league, so no one dares to predict the outcome of this game.

The game kicked off at 23:59 local time, and as soon as the ball left Kuyt's feet, the 45,000-seat Anfield Stadium was filled with cheers, forgetting the sign at the Anfield entrance, where the fans proved that "you never walk alone".

Liverpool, who are sitting at home, launched a ferocious attack from the beginning, Arsenal are their old rivals who are too familiar to know each other, and the two teams are like a couple who have lived together for many years, and they don't need any foreplay at all, they can get to the point directly.

Arsene Wenger has arranged Russ specifically for this game. Diarra came on to curb Liverpool's introduction of an efficient hitman Fernando this season. Torres.

Torres's voice is full of legends, and I think everyone who likes to watch football knows that the title of "big winner in life" is not for nothing, he later won almost all the accolades that a European player can get, although people always joke that he hugged the right thigh and was born at the right time.

But it is undeniable that these years in Liverpool have been Torres' best seasons, and he scored 24 goals in his first season in the Premier League, second only to Ronaldo, who has exploded this season.

In the first 10 rounds of the league alone, Torres has scored seven goals and shares the top scorer spot with Portsmouth's Mwaruvari and Arsenal's Bam Adebayor.

And what is amazing is that all seven of Torres's goals were scored at home, and at Anfield, he is like a god, and has surpassed the "God" Fowler in the minds of the Reds fans of the past and has become the new darling of the Reds fans.

In the face of such a deadly killer, Wenger could not have any scruples, so Diarra's appearance was an arrangement he made specifically for Torres.

In the first half of the game, Russ. Diarra did a good job of completing the task assigned to him by the professor, although he has not been able to fully integrate with the team, but in terms of individual combat ability, Diarra is not much worse than his national team predecessor Makelele, his physical fitness is more energetic, and he runs more, and throughout the first half, he was like a cowhide plaster, entangled Torres to death, making the Spaniard so depressed that he almost grabbed the ground with his head.

But as the song goes, Liverpool "never go alone" and hold Torres down, they have other teams, and most importantly, they have the Jay team.

Even if Diarra defended Torres to death, it didn't stop Liverpool from taking the lead in the first seven minutes: Cesc Fabregas tripped Alonso at the edge of the box, Reese knocked out a free-kick, Flamini in the wall shook a little, yes, in the face of the menacing Gerrard, Flamini's weak personality prevailed, he subconsciously dodged a gap, the ball whizzed past him, and then went straight through Lehmann's hand and hit the net.

It was Gerrard's 400th game for Liverpool, and the Reds captain gave himself and the Liverpool fans the best gift with such a powerful goal.

Flamini, who knew he had made a mistake, then cheered up and desperately tried to make amends. But it's a pity that Liverpool's offensive is too strong, and Arsenal has too few soldiers in the front, so they can only return to the dressing room with a score of 0:1.

In the face of the unfavorable situation in the first half, the professor made a big change in the midfield, in addition to the originally planned Descartes appearance, he also removed Rosicky, who had just recovered from injury and was not active in this game, and replaced it with Walcott, who was extremely fast and good for counter-attacking.

And it was Walcott's arrival that changed the situation on the field.

Just five minutes into the second half, Liverpool were ready to continue the momentum of the first half and lay siege on Arsenal's goal, but Theo Walcott used his pace to give the Liverpudders a heavy warning.

Sagna broke the ball on the wing. Direct pass to Walcott. Facing the Norwegian veteran Reese, Walcoat unreasonably took the ball forward and then strode to overtake.

Reese had also been a "man like the wind" in his youth, how could he have allowed to be passed by a back in such a disgraceful way? So the Norwegian veteran shook off his old legs. Run desperately with this Walcott.

But I just ran a few steps. Reese felt black in front of her. Nima, is this a track and field athlete or a footballer, do you want to run so fast?

Although Reeser never gave up the desperate pursuit behind him, the crowd on the side of the stadium saw it very clearly. The distance between him and Walcott is getting farther and farther away, and they believe that if they keep running like this, Riser will probably not even see Walcott's ass in the end.

Walcott, who won the 100-meter sprint, startled the Reds' backline, but fortunately the veteran Hyypia stayed cautiously in the backfield because of his slow speed, and in the face of the little tiger that rumbled into him like a train, Hyypia ended his 100-meter journey with a strong body.

A yellow card can't run away, but it also allowed Liverpool to escape, and most importantly, Benitez finally realised that Arsenal also had the edge of the counter-attack, and his team could no longer attack with the same impunity as in the first half.

The game finally got back on track, Liverpool, who were afraid of Walcott's speed, reverted to the midfield, and Arsenal, who had been pressed almost out of breath, finally got a little breathing space, and they took the opportunity to press out the formation and confronted Liverpool in midfield.

Arsene Wenger sat firmly on the Diaoyu Tai on the sidelines, and in his sight, it was time for Descartes and Cesc Fabregas to perform.

However, the situation on the pitch did not develop as the professor had predicted, as he suddenly found that Arsenal's attack was in disarray.

This confusion originated with Descartes.

Due to his poor form, Descartes has been on and off in the previous games, unable to establish himself in the team, which was unimaginable for him at the beginning of the season, and he desperately needs to prove himself and let the professor know his worth.

And this strong dialogue with Liverpool is a great opportunity for him to show his strength and establish the professor's commitment to him at the beginning of the season, so Descartes at this time is like a demon, and has become a completely different self.

He doesn't care about the distribution of the ball, he just wants to prove himself, and once the football comes to his feet, he rarely points it again, and if his teammates don't pass the ball, he will even take the initiative to scramble.

For an anxious player, this kind of performance is a common thing, many strikers due to a long-term lack of goals, often appear very "lonely", the ball goes into their feet, never go out again, this kind of thing, young Henry also often happens, so these experienced players know what Descartes' performance is all about.

However, this does not mean that other team-mates will allow him to disrupt the team's chemistry, and the first to respond to Descartes' stubbornness was Cesc Fabregas, the heart of Arsenal's playmaking.

For Fabregas, it was too simple to stop Descartes' demonic move, he had the right to distribute the ball, as long as he didn't pass the ball, Descartes basically couldn't get the ball, so Fabregas directly cut off the route to send the ball to Descartes, and instead began to distribute the ball to the two wings.

And the more he can't get the ball, the more impatient Descartes' performance becomes, he doesn't hate Xiaofa for not passing the ball to himself, he only hates Liverpool's defenders who are too rough and savage, always squeezing him when he breaks through with the ball, and uses small movements to snuggle him in places that the referee can't see. This led him to make several attempts to break through, but he was never able to achieve the desired results.

When the game was on 73 minutes, Descartes finally got the ball from his friend Walcott, this time he just turned around and was about to break through, when he was rushed into a hidden charge by the Jay team, compared to the Jay team, Descartes's body was really not enough to see, he stumbled under his feet, and the ball was stabbed to Alonso by the Jay team.

Descartes was so angry after conceding the goal that he suddenly rushed towards Alonso like crazy. Just when Alonso was just preparing to play a long ball with big feet. He suddenly fell to the ground with a sliding tackle, and Alonso screamed and rolled to the ground with his calf in his hands.

Descartes, who tackled Alonso, didn't stop there, he was just about to get up and intercept the ball. Then the whistle was heard. Go back. Descartes looked angry, only to find that the referee rushed straight in front of him, and then reached into the pocket of his jacket.

Oops! That's when Descartes repented. This action is very likely to bring disaster to yourself, what is wrong with you, how can you suddenly become so uncalm?

Descartes' teammates also saw the referee's action of pulling out the cards, Eduardo, who was closest to the referee, was the first to rush over, holding the referee's hand while pleading in a low voice, and Descartes, who came to his senses, also understood that the matter was serious, and quickly sat up from the ground and rushed to the referee to plead.

The referee, surrounded by a bunch of Arsenal players, kept making gestures asking them to let go, and when his face turned frosty, the Arsenal players finally let go of their hands and pleaded with him with their hands folded.

Perhaps the referee's penalty scale was relatively lenient, or perhaps because Descartes didn't really hurt Alonso in this tackle, the referee only took out a yellow card in the end, and Descartes was able to escape.

It was not only Descartes who breathed a sigh of relief, but also Wenger, who was walking anxiously around the sidelines, he didn't expect Descartes' performance in this game to be so impatient, could it be that he had pressed too tightly before, which made him have too many mood swings?

Just as the professor was considering whether to replace Descartes, Descartes, who had regained his composure, inadvertently surprised him.

In the 80th minute of the game, Liverpool was still relentlessly attacking Arsenal, but this time they made a mistake in the midfield, Alonso's long pass was obtained by the shrewd Flamini, who made a big mistake in the first half, Flamini has been waiting for such an opportunity to make up for it, he took advantage of the moment when Liverpool was pressing on the whole line, and Walcott on the right rushed out like a wild dog, followed by Riese, who could only eat dust.

This time, Walcourt didn't rush to challenge Hyypia's central midfield, he was bent on running straight down the flanks to the bottom line, and then crossed with his feet.

The ball, like his previous passes, was of a rather unreliable quality, and the ball was not high enough to pass in front of Liverpool's goal, and it looked as if no one could reach it.

But just when everyone thought that this pass would fly out of the sideline on its own, a thin figure suddenly jumped out in front of the Liverpool goal, it was Descartes!

His movements were very, ten, and very irregular, like the General's scissor feet in Street Fighter, and his legs flew up and down in the air, literally throwing himself out like a punching bag.

But such an irregular shot brought disaster to Liverpool, when Reina was still stunned, the ball had been hit the goal by the sole of Descartes's feet, and with a slight "swish", the ball flew into the net in Reina's stunned expression!

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!” The Arsenal commentator in front of the TV let out a passionate roar, but the sound of piercing the eardrum was not as crazy as Descartes's celebration, he bounced off the ground like a salted fish, and then ran all the way to shake off his teammates who wanted to pounce on him to celebrate, rushed directly to the camera on the sidelines, and then waved his arms and roared with a hideous face: "Manchester United, you wait for me!" ”

It was Descartes' first goal of the season!

Seeing Descartes' celebration as if he was going crazy, Wenger's assistant Mr. Rice was a little worried, he was afraid that Descartes would receive another yellow card because of this, so he couldn't help but walk up to Wenger and whispered: "Do you want to persuade him, his emotions are a little too much." ”

"No, you don't." The professor looked at Descartes, who was shouting and demonstrating in front of the camera in the distance, and the corners of his mouth curled: "Young man, let him show off a little." (To be continued......)
