"Colin, how are the two of them doing?"

In the office, Arsene Wenger saw his team's doctor come in and looked at him with concern.

"Well, yes, Samir's injury is certain to play, and Theo's ankle is not too much of a problem."

Seeing Wenger's anxious look, Colin did not pretend to be close, and reported the report he got to him.

"Whew, that's good, that's good."

On December 21, at the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal welcomed their league 'title' opponent, Liverpool, who had a strong revival of the league this season.

This season, Liverpool swept away their slow heat and procrastination in previous seasons, and from the first round of the league, they started to win the pearl with Chelsea.

Since then, they have maintained a strong competitiveness in their back-and-forth with their old rivals, Manchester United.

So far, they are at the top of the table with 37 points and a three-goal difference.

After two seasons of polishing, this Liverpool built by tactician Benitez has matured and is starting to really move towards the league throne.

With the existence of a holy child killer like Torres, supplemented by Kuyt and Robbie Keane, Liverpool's offensive efficiency in the front court has been greatly improved.

Coupled with midfielders Mascherajo, Lucas, Gerrard, and Alonso, a midfield configuration that can attack and defend well.

In the backfield, although Carragher is known as the president of the Oolong Academy, the backcourt combination led by him is strong enough, and Reina, who is good at all kinds of rescues, is definitely not bad.

is about to deal with such an opponent, how Wenger doesn't care, naturally hopes to be able to send his strongest lineup.

Nasri's return and Theo Walcott's injury recovery have given Wenger plenty of hope for this game.

It's not that Wenger is bound to win the league title, but because this strong dialogue is a yardstick to test his team.

If his own team hadn't gone and injured so many people in the summer, Wenger would naturally have the confidence to wrestle with the opponent.

But now, once again entering the rebuilding stage, Wenger can only put aside the league title for the time being.

However, in this way, the team needs to touch Liverpool even more, as long as such a mature team allows them to be their own whetstones, so that their team can continue to grow.

In particular, the midfield led by Xiang Hao and Cesc Fabregas, and the perfect midfield configuration of Liverpool, will be an important link for them.

Arsene Wenger naturally hopes that Nasri and Theo Walcott will be okay and ready for this game.

At this time, with the resumption of the Premier League, the focus of attention is naturally on the Premier League.

Undoubtedly, Arsenal's match against Liverpool was the focus of this round.

'I don't care much about the Premier League, now we're in Japan, we're preparing for the Club World Cup, and the league has nothing to do with us for the time being.

You ask me about their games and in my opinion Liverpool have the advantage and they have to win so they have a chance to get ahead of us.

I admit Liverpool have done a good job before, this season Liverpool have shown a lot of maturity and at the Emirates Stadium they have never won a game and this is a clear opportunity.

Arsenal, they're still a bunch of kids, Liverpool will teach them a lesson, they have to learn to accept failure, Liverpool know how to take advantage of their youth and riskiness.

If I were to say that Arsenal have what it takes to challenge for the league title, it would be a pressure on Arsene Wenger.

Arsenal don't have that quality and their only option is to put in their own effort, but it's obviously a matter of attitude.

If they have an attitude, they can hope to say that they have the ability to change themselves and improve their strength.

Hao is a good player, but obviously in front of Liverpool's mature midfield configuration, he will look a little immature.

He won't pose a threat to Liverpool and obviously Steven Gerrard and Marcos Alonso will keep the tempo of the game at their feet.

No, no, no, I'm not going to watch the game, I don't have that time, we're going to start the game, we're very competitive.

My players are not like Arsenal, they can afford to lose, it's a matter of quality and there are so many things we need to do. ”

Yokohama, Japan, Ferguson was confronted by The Sun for an opinion on the match between Arsenal and Liverpool in an interview with reporters.

Although the old man said that he didn't have time to watch the game, he had a lot of opinions about the game.

In his heart, Liverpool, who is a threat to him, is much more powerful than Arsenal, and he is naturally more optimistic about Liverpool.

It's just that the young people of Arsenal, in the heart of the old man, obviously have no status, and naturally there are no good words.

In his opinion, it is normal for Arsenal's players to lose the game in the game, and their strength is not good.

If they win, then they still have room for improvement, and it is not hopeless, at least the attitude is desirable.

"Alex Ferguson: Arsenal are powerless to win over Liverpool" - Daily Mail

"Alex Ferguson: Liverpool are a big threat to us, Arsenal is not a thing" - Daily Mirror

"Ferguson: Hao is very immature and unable to support Arsenal. - Daily Star

"Arsenal are not strong, they need more failures to wake up" - The Sun

…

No one thought that this first wave of news would be initiated by Ferguson, who was far away in Japan.

There is no doubt that the match between Arsenal and Liverpool that Ferguson talked about did a good job of catering to the media eye, and everyone's eyes were focused on this game at once.

And there are many topics, and some are questions to hype.

Is Arsenal's strength really as bad as the old man said?

What Arsenal thinks.

Will this Liverpool team crush the Emirates Stadium and become the first team to win at Arsenal's home stadium in eight years?

Does Liverpool think so?

Ferguson's pitch was like throwing a big fish into a crocodile pond that immediately won the frenzied chase of the British coals.

However, it is obvious that these media will not be able to go far to Japan to interview Ferguson, and they will not be able to rush to meet the costs.

And the parties are here, why should they go far and near.

So whether it was at the Kearney training base or the Melwood training base, they were surrounded by reporters at the first time.

"Steven, do you think this game, will you crush Arsenal as the lord said?"

"Fernando, how many goals do you think you will score at the Emirates Stadium?"

"Harvey, what do you think of Hao's team? Wouldn't you be worried about his defense against you? ”

…

Inquiries like these, after Ferguson's remarks, kept appearing at the door of Melwood's training base.

Whether it was Steven Gerrard or Torres, including Alonso, they were blocked by reporters to ask a few questions, which seriously interfered with Liverpool's preparations.

"Damn it, this cunning fox, it's so treacherous."

The reporters' questions about the Liverpool players not only interfered with their preparations, but also made Benitez, who was already in a bad mood, quite unhappy.

Seeing that these reporters willingly acted as the old Scottish man's gunmen, the teeth of the Spaniard's popularity itched.

Benitez, who is also a famous coach and is good at tactics, makes ruthless characters like Mourinho suffer, how can he not see that Ferguson's move is a killing.

He lit the fire, and those reporters, who added firewood, kept burning the fire.

As for the final result, they don't care, anyway, they have something to talk about is the most important thing.

Let the media put pressure on you, and you can belittle your opponent for yourself, and let your opponent fight with yourself.

This is the most precious antique in the Premier League, and it is really cloudy.

It was the fire he lit that I am afraid will not be extinguished until the end of the game.

Benitez has a big head, and in the past few days, when he is questioned by reporters, Spain has gritted his teeth and not spoke.

He didn't know how to speak, saying that he agreed with Ferguson's words and that his team was strong enough to crush Arsenal.

Watching him dig a hole for himself, he also jumped down.

Just thinking about it, Benitez felt humiliated and unwilling.

And Benitez was very worried, what he said would arouse the spirit of those young and vigorous people, and it would not be beautiful.

In the past, he was in Valencia, and he was able to beat Real Madrid and Barcelona and win the La Liga championship, which was to take advantage of the competitiveness and fearlessness and disobedience to authority of those young people.

The current Arsenal team has shown themselves that spirit, especially in the final round of the Champions League.

That kind of desperate unity and outburst moved Benitez to watch, and he understood that this team has the potential to turn everything upside down.

That player, that number 6 player, he really looks like his own Steven, Steven from Istanbul Night in '05, Steven at Millennium Stadium in '06.

The iron and combat power that is enough to change everything, and the author and the people change all this.

Born leaders.

With such a player, Benitez definitely does not want to bring out his potential before the game.

This is what he wants to avoid.

However, Arsenal is very strong, and Liverpool may not be able to get out of it.

As the manager of Liverpool, he thinks that he can't say such things, and it is a matter of morale for his team, and he can't be sloppy.

That old fox is forcing himself into a dilemma, how Benitez is not contradictory.

And compared to Benitez's contradictions, the resentment of Ferguson.

Arsene Wenger is undoubtedly angry, but there is a helplessness hidden in the anger.

"Ridiculous, I don't know what he means by saying these words, doesn't he know the potential of young people.

In the 90s last season, in '03, '04, '05, when Manchester United were transitioning, he forgot how he believed and tried the youngsters.

In my opinion, he has become so proud that he doesn't know why, and in order to suppress his opponents, he ignores reality.

I don't want to speculate on his intentions, I just want to say that the weekend's game is between us and Liverpool, it has nothing to do with him, he should care about his team, and he has no right to judge my players. ”
