"Liverpool's starting goalkeeper is No. 25 Reina; At the back: No. 17 Arbeloa, No. 23 Carragher, No. 5 Ager, No. 22 Insua.

Midfielders No. 21 Lucas, No. 14 Alonso, No. 8 Gerrard, No. 18 Kuyt, No. 11 Riera, and No. 7 Robie in strikers. Keane.

There is no doubt that Liverpool have played in a 4231 formation, which is their usual formation this season.

Extremely aggressive with a squad that they relied on to score 28 goals, the most of any team.

It's just that Mascherano's place was replaced by Lucas, while Robbie Keane played Torres's position.

I have to say that this game is not the strongest Liverpool, but their strength can still occupy the initiative on the field, and Arsenal has no advantage.

In this game, if Roy Keane can take his chances, Liverpool have a better chance of winning. ”

After Mortensen finished talking about Arsenal, it was naturally Linekerley who analysed Liverpool's starters.

Obviously, the Tottenham legend is more optimistic about Liverpool, who has a more championship appearance this season.

And Mortensen didn't raise the bar much, nodding, "Well, there is no doubt that this game is a test for Arsenal, especially in the midfield."

Although the Argentine was unable to play due to the flu in this game, the Brazilian Lucas, who replaced him, was extraordinarily talented, and after last season, he made a qualitative leap.

Based on his talent and Rafael's belief in him, Liverpool will be rewarded with a midfield commander role in the future as long as he develops normally.

If he plays well in this game, he can largely offset the disadvantage of Mascherano not being able to play.

The midfielders led by Hao and Sesker must win in the Liverpool midfield led by Steven Gerrard and Alonso.

In this way, Arsenal can say that they will play the game they want, otherwise, there will be a possibility of power outages in their backfield and front.

This has been proven many times in previous competitions.

Arsene Wenger sent Cameroonian Song in order to give Hao more freedom and make him the one to disrupt the opposing midfield. ”

Before the game started, after Mortensen analyzed Liverpool's advantages, he habitually studied Arsenal, and his eyes fell on Xiang Hao again.

In fact, Wenger did not use the more mature Denelson in this game, but Song, which is what he said he was trying to do.

Let Song, who has better interception, play the field, and liberate Xiang Hao in defense, and let the returning Nasri play with Cesc Fabregas, and in attack, liberate Xiang Hao.

Giving Xiang Hao the greatest possible freedom in this game is where Wenger's real change lies.

Mortensen said that Xiang Hao and Cesc Fabregas led Arsenal's midfield, to be precise, Xiang Hao led the entire Arsenal midfield in this game, and even the entire Arsenal team.

Arsene Wenger gave Xiang Hao the freedom to kill Liverpool's mature midfield configuration.

After Xiang Hao knew Wenger's tactical arrangement, he kept his brain in a calm state at all times.

Because only in this way can he perfectly read the trend of the game, in attack and defence, and help the team.

"Whew-"

On the entrance and waiting for the game to start, Xiang Hao breathed a long sigh of relief, trying to adjust his breathing and relax his mind.

This game, for the Liverpool players, is a game of a few points against Manchester United, and for the Arsenal players, it is a game of shrinking and the top team.

17 rounds, a nine-point gap, this is not an insurmountable gap.

In the past, both Manchester United and Arsenal completed a 12-point reversal.

The schedule has not passed halfway, and with a gap of nine points, I want to back down, how is it possible.

You must know that the small league of the championship competition is not over yet, let the Arsenal players surrender and dream.

Therefore, before the game, Wenger deliberately played up this game in the team to fight for the championship, but in private, Xiang Hao and others had already reached a consensus.

This game is the first game for Arsenal to re-enter the title race!

You can't afford to lose no matter what!

Xiang Hao stared at Liverpool's half of the court with torch eyes, and his whole body's attention couldn't help but adjust, just waiting for the whistle to sound.

"Toot!"

“gogogogog――o！”

"Arsenal Forward !!"

"Attack, Arsenal !!"

…

As Barry's whistle blew, the sound of rushing wind and fire immediately echoed over the court.

It's not just Arsenal players who want to seize on their league title hopes, Arsenal fans are naturally not going to give up on this season.

Even if there is a glimmer of hope, the fans will have 200 percent expectation.

This is the fans, when it comes to the team, they rarely have a rational mind, they think and think, the best and most positive side of the team.

As long as this game is won, there will only be a difference of 6 points with the opponent, and there are still 20 rounds, not to mention that there will be another direct dialogue, where are you worried about not being able to catch up.

Winning this game is the main thing.

So, from the first second of the game, the singing of Arsenal did not stop, just like Arsenal's attack.

After Arsenal Van Persie handed the ball to Xiang Hao's feet, the entire Arsenal formation was immediately unfolded.

As Mortensen thought, Arsenal had a 442 formation, but as soon as they attacked, they immediately became 433.

Nasri stepped forward decisively, and together with Van Persie and Theo Walcott, he went straight into Liverpool's half.

And Liverpool is also not to be outdone, their formation of 4231 is more offensive.

So when the Arsenal players invaded their own half, Gerrard and others had already hidden the midfield and infiltrated into the Arsenal half.

The two teams were like beasts in the wilderness, facing each other with the incessant roar of the Emirates Stadium.

And the course of the game, not as Mortensen and Lineker analyzed, Liverpool have the advantage.

Because both sides wanted to win, the game was quite open from the start.

And in the cheers at home, it is clear that Arsenal is more proactive.

'Damn, this monster, it's terrifying. ’

Colliding with Xiang Hao again, Alonso felt his center of gravity swaying and had to slow down his speed.

Handed the ball to Lucas, who received it, and no longer carried it forward.

This is power, Xiang Hao used his strength to suppress Aaron who wanted to step forward, forcing the other party to get closer to the backcourt.

As a result, Liverpool's two central midfielders have to rely on Lucas to overdo it.

In this way, the threat point of Liverpool's backfield ball is minimized.

What kind of genius is Lucas, he is not 10 years later, Mascherano, Alonso and others left, and singled out the Lushen in the Liverpool midfield position.

Now his attacking options are far from being comparable to Alonso, let alone Liverpool's command tower.

Hesitation, constant hesitation.

Lucas's hesitation to play the ball made Liverpool's attack unable to open.

Gerrard had to come back many times to respond, so that Liverpool's offensive line had to pull back some to ensure that Liverpool's formation was complete.

Benitez was in a hurry, quite anxious.

Without Gerald supporting and tandem in front, Babbel and Kuyt's lack of individual combat ability was let go.

And Keane's explosive ability cannot be compared with Torres, and the entire Liverpool attack fell into embarrassment all of a sudden.

This is not the pace of the game that Benitez wants, in his opinion, it should be his own team that crushes the opponent.

How can this be?

Benitez suddenly felt that his tactics of controlling the midfield had failed, and his powerful midfield was suppressed by the opponent.

In this way, the chaotic flow of running that I set in the front court has completely become chaotic and disorderly.

Babbel, Kuyt and Roy Keane, the three of them, without the connection of the midfield, can not play the advantage of flexible running.

Nail, a feeling of nail.

When Benitez saw the situation on the field, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable, like a nail in his midfield, and the feeling of being stuck.

That damn Oriental, how could he run so casually.

Benitez soon discovered the reason for this uncomfortable feeling, because of Xiang Hao, Xiang Hao's freer running position, allowing him to go up and down in the midfield at will.

Defensively, where can make Liverpool uncomfortable, he will go up, the most important of which is to plug in Alonso, the engine of Liverpool's attack.

If you have to be in the Liverpool midfield triangle Gerrard, Alonso, Mascherano trio, there is a priority.

There is no doubt that Alonso is the handsome, Mascherano is the shield and plays the role of transitional protection, and Gerrard is the cannon, which attacks directly from a distance.

And it is this Spaniard who really dominates the overall situation.

Alonso was choked and Liverpool's attack was actually tough.

Wenger gave Xiang Hao the freedom of the midfield, in fact, he regarded Xiang Hao as a panacea, where he needed to wipe it.

Alonso was unfortunate to be targeted, and after several rounds in a row, Alonso couldn't shake off Xiang Hao, and the attack couldn't form continuity.

And Liverpool has another point in attack, Torres, he can be regarded as a horse, a ghost horse infested, extremely lethal, but his speed is so good, it can be said to be a car.

This lack of attacking players who combine skill and speed, which is infinitely unleashed in the game, evolves into a lack of strength on the offensive end.

Unable to suppress Arsenal on the offensive end, the game was open-ended, so it was naturally suppressed by Arsenal.

And now, Liverpool's Mascherano is gone, replaced by Lucas, although the teenager is very talented.

However, under the impact of the more talented Fabregas and Nasri and others, it is obvious that Arsenal cannot block all kinds of passes.

Equal to the loss of Liverpool's shield, Liverpool's entire defence, in the case of their fruitless attack, has been exposed under Arsenal's claws, just waiting for the final blow.
