And the next league opponent is a hard-core ---- Liverpool!

Liverpool Football Club (Liverpool? Football? Club, abbreviated LIV or LFC), is an English football club based in the port city of Liverpool in Merseyside, north-west England, England, founded on March 15, 1892, at Anfield Stadium.

Liverpool have won 18 English top-flight titles, seven FA Cups, eight English League Cups, five UEFA Champions Leagues and three UEFA Cups, and are members of the defunct G-14, making them one of the most successful champions in the history of English and European football.

On 16 May 2012, Liverpool announced the termination of Dalglish's contract. On June 1, 2012, Liverpool terminated the contract with Dalglish and invited the 39-year-old former Swansea coach Brenda Rodgers to be the team leader.

Principal Brenda Rodgers prefers to use young and technical players, and many of his youth team players have been promoted to the first team and even made appearances under him, such as Andre Westdown, Raheem Sterling and Martin Kelly.

In addition, several young and skilled players such as Daniel Sturridge, Coutinho, Mignolet, Aspas, Ilori and Alberto have added a lot of strength to Liverpool's midfield and backfield, and the average age of the players is only 22 years old, making them one of the youngest clubs in Europe.

The Liverpool Club emblem is based on the Liverbird, the symbol of the city of Liverpool, which is placed in a shield.

Above the shield is the club's iconic Shankly Gate and the title of the famous anthem "You'll Never Walk Alone".

The Liverpool FC anthem is "You'll NeverWalk Alone". The song originated from the Broadway musical Carousel, composed by Richard Rodgers and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II. ThePacemakers) is included on their album. Since the 60s of the 20th century, the song has been sung in unison by Liverpool fans at Anfield Stadium.

It is impossible for Arsene Wenger not to take such a standard big team seriously, he began to carry out targeted tactical drills before the game, and during the game, he arranged the most reasonable and strong starting line-up according to the team's injury and fitness situation.

It is still a 3-2-3-2 two-back formation: the goalkeeper is No. 1 Szczesny; The defenders are No. 3 - Sagna, No. 4 - Mertesacker, No. 6 - Koscielny; The midfielders are No. 18 Zhang Xu and No. 8 Arteta, and the midfielders are No. 16 Ramsey, No. 11 Ozil and No. 19 Cazorla; Up front are No.12 Giroud and No.14 Theo Walcott.

Vermaelen, Gibbs and Rosicky, Bendtner were all on the bench.

If you talk about this lineup, whose physical fitness and injuries don't have Wenger to worry about the most, it is naturally Zhang Xu. The physical fitness of 99 points full of attributes, coupled with the passive skill of running undead, allows Zhang Xu to not worry about physical consumption at all.

Since the beginning of this season, 19 games have been played in various games, large and small, and other players in the team have gradually developed some physical problems, that is, Zhang Xu, whose body is as strong as ever when the team doctor examines him.

Among Liverpool, there is a player who Wenger has a headache, he is No. 7 Suarez, a powerful striker known as "Su Shen".

Luis Alberto Suarez (born 24 January 1987 in Salto) is a Uruguayan footballer and striker. Suarez started his career with Uruguayan National Football Club. In 2006, he moved to FC Groningen in the Eredivisie. In 2007, he joined Ajax FC in the Eredivisie, and won the Eredivisie Golden Boot Award and the Dutch Footballer of the Year in the next three and a half years.

In the same year, he was selected for the Uruguayan national team for the first time. In 2010, he made his debut at the World Cup in South Africa and scored three goals and helped Uruguay reach the semi-finals. In 2011, he joined Liverpool Football Club in the English Premier League. In the same year, he led Uruguay to the 43rd Copa America and was selected as the best player. In 2013, Suarez won the Premier League Golden Boot and the European Golden Boot.

Suarez's dribbling and shooting skills are superb, and he can play as a central striker or move on the flanks of the front court, making him a rare all-round attacker. In addition to breaking through with the ball and shooting, Suarez can also deliver cannonballs to his teammates. In the Uruguayan national team, Suarez and Forlan are the team's regular strikers.

Although Suarez is strong, his weaknesses are also very obvious. Suarez's weakness is that he is not fast enough, and lacks rhythm and explosiveness with the ball.

In response to this weakness, Wenger can do more work, Zhang Xu's speed is superb, and his defensive ability is even more perverted.

So before this game, Wenger handed over the task of marking Suarez to Zhang Xu, and the attacking organization was put in charge of Ozil for the first time.

Of course, if Zhang Xu still has spare energy, he can naturally participate in the team's offensive organization.

At half past five on November 2, 2013, the 10th round of the 2013/14 English Premier League season was contested at the Emirates Stadium, with Arsenal hosting Liverpool.

Arsenal have only lost one of their last 11 games against Liverpool, and have won five and drawn five of their other 10 games. In the last 12 league games against Liverpool, they have only lost 1 game, and the remaining 11 games have won 4 and drawn 7. The two sides have met 42 times in the Premier League, with Liverpool having the upper hand with 15 wins, 14 draws and 13 losses, including 6 wins, 8 draws and 7 defeats away.

At the beginning of the game, the two sides played inseparably, you came and went, and the scene was exciting, which made the fans addicted.

In the 6th minute of the game, Mesut Ozil and Cazorla kicked the wall together, and his shot from a small angle on the right side of the penalty area was saved by Mignole in Liverpool's back yard and into the far corner.

In the 9th minute of the game, Liverpool Henderson stole Cazorla in the middle and forced a break on the left side of the penalty area, but the last pass was easily stopped by Zhang Xu with ****, and then immediately launched a counterattack.

During this time, Suarez and Zhang Xu met more than once. At first, Suarez wanted to use his skillful foot skills to shake Zhang Xu over, but soon, he realized that he was wrong, and it was very wrong.

Five meetings, each time a complete defeat!

In the end, when Suarez saw Zhang Xu, he had to run away from Zhang Xu, because he was really scared by Zhang Xu's blow.

Arsenal took the lead in the 19th minute, Arteta passed the ball to Zhang Xu who stepped forward, Zhang Xu split the ball on the right side, Sagna crossed, Cazorla's header from 14 yards hit the right post and bounced back, Walcott grabbed the first point from 8 yards on the right rib of the penalty area and shot into the net!

1-0, Arsenal have a one-goal lead!

Arsenal are currently the only team in the league to have scored in every game, leading the scoring in 10 of their last 10 games.

After taking a one-goal lead, Arsenal's morale was higher and the offensive momentum was more violent, while Chelsea still attacked from time to time, but it was basically directly killed by Zhang Xu.

In the 21st minute of the game, Cazorla stole Gerrard and shot wide in front of the penalty area.

There was a bit of controversy in the 25th minute when Sagna fouled Suarez, who quickly drove a set-piece and Sturridge crossed from the left for Henderson to easily score from distance. However, Atkinson whistled for a yellow card to warn Sagna of the game, a decision that caused displeasure among Liverpool's players. Then Gerrard crossed a free kick, and the football was easily cleared by Zhang Xu's header.

In the 28th minute of the game, Rosicky passed the ball and Ramsay's shot from the left side of the box was saved by Liverpool goalkeeper Mignole. Sissoko is booked for a foul on Sagna.

In the 31st minute of the game, Gerrard passed the ball, and Sturridge broke through to 25 yards and fired a low shot that was easily collected by Szczesny.

In the 36th minute of the game, Sturridge shook Koscielny on the side, but the final breakthrough was blocked by Zhang Xu and he took the ball out of the bottom line.

In the 45th minute, Giroud passed the ball and Cazorla's low shot from the edge of the box grazed the right post.

In the second half, Liverpool made a change, and Coutinho, who returned from injury, replaced Sissoko, and the team's attacking momentum recovered slightly.

In the 49th minute of the game, Suarez successfully broke into the right side of the penalty area against offside, but the final cross was not good, and Zhang Xu directly cleared it to the stands.

One minute later, Suarez crossed from the left side of the penalty area, and Henderson volleyed high from outside the top right corner of the small penalty area under the interference of Zhang Xu.

In the 55th minute of the game, the Liverpool defenders made a serious mistake and were almost broken by Giroud, Toure returned to Skrtel's mistake, and Giroud stole and hit the side netting from 12 yards on the left side of the penalty area.

Two minutes later, Cazorla passed the ball and Giroud's 12-yard stab shot was saved by goalkeeper Mignolé.

In the 59th minute of the game, Arsenal finally extended the score, Ozil passed, and Ramsey half-volleyed into the top left corner from 20 yards!

Two to zero! Arsenal seal the win!

After that, Liverpool wanted to get back the score, made frequent substitutions, and strengthened the offensive, but Arsenal under the leadership of Zhang Xu, the back line was as stable as Mount Tai, and all Liverpool's attacks were in vain!

Arsenal in the later games, although there were a lot of dangerous attacks, but the efficiency was not high, so they were not able to create goals.

In the end, the score of this game was fixed at 2-0!

Arsenal won the 10th round of the league, grabbed three points, and continued to lead the league standings! (To be continued.) )
