109 Don't make a mistake
The draw for the Champions League group stage is definitely more favorable for Liverpool, and the group of death has nothing to do with Liverpool; Although it cannot be said that 100% of the promotion, as long as Liverpool does not make any mistakes, it should not be a problem to win the group and advance. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After the group stage draw, Qin Lang couldn't be too happy; Because Liverpool's next league task will be very difficult, and they will be tested by strong teams one after another.
The highlight of the third round of the league was the Reds' match against Arsenal, who had drawn both games, in a crucial and interesting match. Liverpool host Arsenal in what will be the highlight of the third round of the league.
Maybe Liverpool is no longer as brave as it used to be, but even if it is no longer a quick knife that chops through chaos, at least it is still a nerve knife; No one knows when Liverpool will go crazy, and no one knows where the limits of this not-so-luxurious squad are.
In contrast, Arsenal, who are also winless in two rounds, although they have been better than Liverpool in previous seasons, have not had a good time since last season; The first two rounds of the season did not get off to a good start, and two games with zero goals, but it is an extremely embarrassing record. With Van Persie gone, the gunners were in big trouble.
The encounter of a team like this with tradition, heritage, and more grievances, whether it is past history or recent records, has extremely limited reference value. The two former giants who are not willing to sink are facing the appetite of the fans, as they both see each other as rivals.
Just think about Arsenal, who have always kept the top four in the league and qualified for the Champions League no matter what; But there was an accident last season, Liverpool pressed the Gunners, and Chelsea won the Champions League without following common sense, so the Gunners struggled.
Gunners fans must hate Chelsea the most, as the reigning Champions League champions snatched the Gunners' Champions League spot; The second hateful must be Liverpool, because the rise of Liverpool has forced the Gunners to swallow the bitter wine of missing out on the Champions League.
The relationship between Liverpool and Arsenal is not very good, but it is not bad, and now that the two teams have a direct rivalry, it is more difficult to think about it.
Qin Lang didn't care about this, he only cared about the next game now; I am also concerned about the movement in the final stage of the transfer window, Liverpool has no blockbuster transfer rumors, basically the current lineup, which is good.
For Liverpool, the loan out of Carroll and Spearing is harmless, because it is difficult for them to bring much help in the team. And Shahin on loan from Real Madrid is worth looking forward to, although Shahin is not ambitious at Real Madrid, but think about Shahin at Dort's core level two seasons ago, it is still worth looking forward to.
Liverpool's midfield is actually relatively lacking in creativity, and the addition of Shaheen, who has outstanding skills and strong organizational skills, will certainly not hurt the team, as long as Shaheen can find his form.
It's September, and it's safe to play because the transfer period is over.
Liverpool, who played at home, discharged goalkeeper Qin Lang; From right to left in the back line: Johnson, Agger, Skrtel, Jose Enrique; a combination of Shahin, Joe Allen, Gerrard; Suarez and rising stars Raheem Sterling and Borini form a front trident.
It looks like it's 4-3-3, but Liverpool can also change their formation to 4-4-2; It's just that Qin Lang knows very well that no matter what kind of formation, the team lacks enough guarantee in the midfield.
Gerrard is well-rounded, but he's hard to be a reliable defensive midfielder; Joe Allen, as for it, is more of a midfielder. As for Shaheen, he is a midfielder, but Shaheen must not be expected to be the first barrier of the back line.
After Lucas's injury, Liverpool actually had no midfield barrier; This time is a test for Qin Lang and a big challenge for the Liverpool defenders.
This is definitely not an easy game, Qin Lang is very clear about this.
Robin van Persie continued Arsenal's tradition of selling captains, but Arsene Wenger's side never lost their competitiveness just because they lost a key player; Although Arsenal did not score in the previous two rounds, this Premier League Barcelona team is definitely the leader of the technical genre, and Arsenal's beautiful football is still very threatening.
Liverpool, playing at home, attacked from the start of the game, trying to take the initiative and try to control the tempo of the game.
First, Borini's shot from outside the box went wide of the left post, and then forced Arsenal defender Mert Sack to pull down Suarez and received a yellow card.
Less than five minutes into the game, Arsenal felt enough pressure; And that's just the beginning, as Liverpool will continue to attack after mastering a certain advantage.
In the seventh minute, Suarez's free-kick from outside the box went straight over the crossbar. Three minutes later, Raheem Sterling broke free from the left side of the pitch and crossed for Suarez to cross diagonally down the middle, and Borini fired a powerful shot over the crossbar from the right side of the box.
Arsenal goalkeeper Mannone must have been under a lot of pressure, although he went Almunia; But there are also Fabianski and Szczesny, who have just returned from loan spells in the Championship to become the third goalkeeper, and are about to suffer such a brutal test, and Mannone must have bitterness in his heart.
Qin Lang's team is becoming more and more aggressive, and he is becoming more and more confident on the offensive end; That's a good thing, Liverpool had a lot of problems in attack last season and it's getting better and better.
Although the Reds are not the most attacking team in the Premier League right now, Liverpool definitely have the potential to get better than last season, which is why Qin Lang believes the team can go further in the new season.
Liverpool's tidal wave of attacks is constantly testing Arsenal's backline, and even if there is no excellent goalkeeper, Arsenal actually does not have a reliable midfielder and an excellent defensive line. Now they are left with only a grudge to parry, and the decent back line could collapse at any time.
Qin Lang was not tested too much, only Cazorla's limp shot and Vermaelen's inaccurate low shot and lob shot; Qin Lang just easily held the ball twice, and now Qin Lang is more active in the front of the penalty area, he is waiting to provide some help to his teammates on the offensive end at any time.
The atmosphere at Anfield was extremely hot, and the KOPs certainly had plenty of reason to be happy when they saw a team of Arsenal's calibre squeeze to death.
Arsenal may not be considered the biggest favourites to win the title, but no one dares to deny that the Gunners have the quality to compete for a Champions League spot; And now the Gunners are completely passive against Liverpool, which naturally makes Liverpool fans believe that the team has enough reasons to get better.
Last season's Liverpool record was already very good, third in the league and winners of the League Cup and FA Cup; And this season's strength of the team has risen steadily, so it may not be impossible for Liverpool to go further in the standings, and Liverpool may really have a chance to fight for more honors and even championship trophies!
The situation is firmly controlled by Liverpool, Qin Lang knows that as long as the team does not make mistakes, as long as he is not careless, it is difficult for Arsenal to turn the tables in a short period of time, and now the initiative is completely in Liverpool's control.
Continue to attack and continue to control the tempo, although Arsenal is a team that is very good at ground coordination and passing the ball, but now they can only be led by the nose by Liverpool, because football is more at the feet of Liverpool players, because it is difficult for Arsenal to break through Liverpool's not solid midfield 'dirt wall'.
Qin Lang became more and more excited, because this game seemed to him to be won nine times out of ten.
Arsenal were simply stunned, they obviously didn't expect Liverpool to be so strong in the opening stages of the game; The Gunners simply can't find their rhythm right now, some of them are running around the pitch with no discipline at all.
Of course, excited and happy, Manchester City had just won the previous round, and if Arsenal were eliminated in this game, then Liverpool's performance at the beginning of the new season would be perfect.
Being able to gain the upper hand in a series of strong conversations is not only a huge boost to the team in terms of morale and confidence, but most importantly, it is a visual reflection of the standings, which is the reality!
Continue to be so aggressive, continue to press the Gunners so fiercely, so that you don't need to worry too much about the opponent having a chance to turn over.
Absolutely strong, not to give the opponent a chance to breathe; The high-intensity pressing and fast-paced attack and defense made the Gunners run in vain even if they knew that the rhythm was wrong.
Draining their energy and confidence, wasting their physical energy, this may be the key to Liverpool's victory in the game, and this is the basis for Liverpool to win the game.
Now the situation is in Liverpool's favor, Qin Lang and his teammates see hope of winning; But these people also understand that the Gunners will definitely not be willing to give up the initiative in the game like this, let alone be willing to play in a passive situation all the time, and the Gunners will definitely see the right time to counterattack.
So Liverpool need to continue to attack and completely break the confidence of the Gunners players, and the Reds need to be more resilient.
Of course, the Reds also need to be vigilant, and now the team has the absolute upper hand; At this time, it is not only necessary to play steadily, but the most important thing is not to make mistakes, and not to give Arsenal any chance to turn the tables at all.
The strong dialogue is like this, a small detail can change the trend of the game; Maybe it's just a round of offense and defense that goes wrong, and it could make a big difference.
Qin Lang hopes that the team will perform stronger, and he hopes that the team will not make mistakes at such a critical moment.
But what is afraid of what, in the case of absolute dominance, Liverpool made a mistake; Not only did the Gunners find an opportunity, but also because it was Liverpool's banner Gerrard who made the mistake, which must have hit Liverpool's morale very hard! (To be continued.) )
