180. League against Arsenal
London, England, 5 April 2008.
Countless media outlets have gathered here as they await the 33rd round of the English league fixture, which begins in the evening, between Arsenal and Liverpool, for the second time in a week.
Three days earlier, Arsenal had played Liverpool at their home stadium at the Emirates Stadium in London for 90 minutes, with both sides scoring a goal each in a 1-1 draw.
It was a game full of regrets for Arsenal, who had many chances to win the game, but in that game, Arsenal were not very lucky, they missed a lot of chances, and in the end they had to unfortunately get a draw.
The Arsenal players were full of regret and felt that Liverpool were so lucky. Today, Arsenal will not let their opponents take advantage of this game that they cannot lose, and they will definitely try their best to win this game.
The Arsenal players want to show the Liverpool players how lucky you were to get a draw three days ago.
Now that Lady Luck won't be on your side, I don't think you'll be able to compete with our mighty Arsenal team.
At the same time, the Arsenal players will be hoping to use this game to shock Liverpool, so that when they travel to Anfield three days later, they will be able to get the victory they want more easily and eventually knock their opponents out of the Champions League.
Yes, Arsenal are not just thinking about squeezing Liverpool out of the top of the league table, but also about knocking Liverpool out of the Champions League, and they want to make Liverpool have no results this season. This shows just how ambitious Arsenal are this season.
Before the game, most of those media reporters were on the side of the Arsenal team, and they all thought that Arsenal were stronger than Liverpool, and it should be Arsenal who deserved to win this game, which should be a clear thing.
Two away games in a row against a strong Arsenal team is indeed a big difficulty for Liverpool, but the Liverpool players don't think it's that difficult, they think they Liverpool are a lot better than Arsenal, they have nothing to fear.
Prior to this game, players from both sides also engaged in a fierce war of words, with both sides not giving in to each other, saying that their teams were the strongest. They all thought that their team would win this game.
Before the game, the war of words between the players on both sides was really fierce and intense. Even the fans of both sides and the club's celebrities were involved, which added a lot of excitement to the game, and suddenly the game became a match that the whole of Europe watched very much.
Liverpool were certainly able to win this game, not just for the league, but also for the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final in three days' time.
If Liverpool don't lose two consecutive away games against Arsenal, then waiting for the game in three days' time and all the pressure shifts to Arsenal's side, then it will be easier for Liverpool to progress to the last four of the Champions League.
So, in this game, Liverpool has only one goal, and that is to go all out to win!
In this game, the Liverpool side played with all the main force, and Benitez did not seem to be thinking about the Champions League game in three days, and he did not stay. Similarly, the Arsenal side did not stay strong, and Arsène 61 Arsene Wenger also sent a full line-up.
The league and the Champions League, both hands! Now the goals of the two teams are clear, as long as you can see it individually.
At this time, those media reporters were shocked, they did not expect that the Liverpool team would be so bold, at this time, they would choose to go hand in hand with the league and the Champions League, they have to admire the courage of Rafael 61 Benitez.
Now everyone knows, what is the situation of Rafael 61 Benitez? This season, if Liverpool can't win a title, then Rafael 61 Benitez will definitely be sacked by Liverpool FC.
In everyone's opinion, at this time, Rafael 61 Benitez's safest way is to secure a title first, so that he can stay at Liverpool FC, as for the other titles, that can be postponed until next season.
However, no one thought that Benitez was not like this, his heart was much bigger than ordinary people, and at this time, this guy dared to make a decision to take care of both, which was really courageous.
The reporters in the press box turned their eyes to Liverpool's coaching box, and they frequently pointed their cameras at Benitez, constantly pressing the shutter. They knew that in the period that followed, Benitez would be the talk of the town.
At this time, they had to collect news about Benitez and publish it in the newspaper so that they could catch the hot spots and increase the sales of their newspaper. Otherwise, the market will be seized by other guys.
On the day of the game, the Emirates of London was packed, and there were a lot of fans at the scene, and there were even many fans who did not have seats, they stood in the stands and watched the focus of this round of the Premier League.
This game is extremely important for both teams, no one can afford to lose, and everyone wants to win. This is especially true of the fans of both teams, who are cheering on their favorite teams and hoping that their favorite teams can win Zuihou.
In addition to the fans of these two teams who are very attentive to this game, there are also Manchester United fans and Chelsea fans who are very attentive to this game. They all know that the outcome of this game has the potential to turn the entire Premier League top-four table upside down.
Manchester United fans and Chelsea fans will be hoping to take advantage of the result of this game, so they will have to keep an eye on the result.
The Arsenal side came with the power of victory, so at the beginning of the game, they launched a ferocious attack, attacking the Liverpool defence, and they hoped to beat the Liverpool team as soon as they came up, so that they could win easily.
And judging from the game three days ago, the strength of the Liverpool side is really not very good, and the players of the Arsenal team think that it is impossible for the Liverpudlians to create any pressure on them, and the victory of this game must be theirs.
However, after the start of the game, Liverpool's performance surprised the Arsenal side. Liverpool in this game and Liverpool three days ago are like two teams, there is no common ground at all, and there have been earth-shaking changes.
At the beginning of the game, Liverpool played very aggressively, not at all like the team that only knew how to defend for three days, which surprised the players and fans of the Arsenal team, is this really the Liverpool team of three days ago?
The reporters at the scene were also surprised, and they didn't believe that the Liverpool team in front of them would be the Liverpool team three days ago. The Liverpool team was very aggressive and attacked so violently that it simply upended the impact that the Arsenal had built up three days earlier.
On the sidelines, Arsenal's manager Arsène 61 Wenger was also shocked, he didn't expect that today's Liverpool team would play so actively, and he suddenly had a premonition in his heart, always feeling that something would happen today!
At this moment, there was a scorching cheer from the Stadium of the Emirates, and Arsenal manager Arsène 61 Wenger immediately looked up at the stands. He immediately discovered that it was not the home team's Arsenal fans who were celebrating wildly at the Emirates Stadium in London, but Liverpool fans from afar.
Yes, the Liverpool fans were celebrating, and Arsène 61 Arsène Wenger was so shocked that he immediately turned his head to look at the pitch. Suddenly, Arsène 61 Wenger's eyes widened, and his face was in disbelief. Because, the white football is jumping in the Arsenal goal.
And on the pitch, Liverpool's Spanish striker Fernando 61 Torres is running wildly, he is frantically rushing to the stands where Liverpool fans gather, where he interacts with Liverpool fans. At the same time, behind him are Liverpool players with excited faces.
Seeing this, Arsène 61 Wenger still doesn't understand, this is Liverpool scoring, and the player who scored the goal happened to be Liverpool's Spanish striker Fernando 61 Torres.
1 to 0! Liverpool lead Arsenal on the road!
This result surprised everyone on the scene, they didn't expect such a result, isn't it true? That's what everyone thinks now, especially the Arsenal fans, who don't want to believe it's true.
However, the playback on the big screen extinguished all the luck in their hearts.
Although the goal was scored by Fernando 61 Torres, most of the credit for this goal has to be attributed to Qiu Ze. Because after Fernando 61 Torres scored, it was Qiu Ze who suddenly dribbled the ball forward with the ball in the midfield, broke through four Arsenal defenders in a row, and then entered the Arsenal penalty area, attracting the attention of Arsenal goalkeeper Lehmann, and then suddenly crossed the football to the back of the penalty area.
Fernando 61 Torres at the back of the penalty area was unguarded and faced the empty goal directly, such an opportunity, Fernando 61 Torres only needed to gently stretch out one leg and gently put the football into the empty goal.
Empty door! Spanish striker Fernando 61 Torres certainly wouldn't give up such an opportunity, and with a flick of his leg, he sent the ball into the back of the net, and the ball rolled into the goal.
1 to 0! Liverpool are really ahead of Arsenal. Arsenal fans are a little dumbfounded, this shouldn't be true, they never thought that the fact that Zuihou would become like this, this is too fake, is this still the Liverpool team three days ago?
Liverpool are ahead, Manchester United fans are obviously unhappy, and of course they want to lose to Liverpool so that they have a chance to move up to the top of the league. Now that Liverpool are ahead, it's no wonder they can be happy.
Of course, it's the Chelsea fans who are happy. As long as Liverpool win against Arsenal, Chelsea will move up to third place in the league and they will be able to move closer to the top of the league, and they are certainly excited now.
