After a night without words, Chen Xi got up early the next day and carefully prepared a hearty breakfast. Then he woke up Hazel, who was sleeping in a daze.

Although Hazel went back to her room ashamedly and angrily after being kissed by Chen Xi yesterday, she fell asleep very late. Therefore, when she was called up by Chen Xi in the morning, she was still a little reluctant. However, the aroma of the breakfast prepared by Chen Xi woke up her stomach. Hazel's brain succumbed to his stomach and came to his senses.

This breakfast can be regarded as Chen Xi's birthday meal for Hazel, who was born yesterday.

Hazel is very sweet in his heart for Chen Xi's heart, but he still doesn't show it on his face, but he is really a stubborn girl.

After eating breakfast, Chen Xi quarreled with Hazel at home for a while, and then left the shared house of the two.

After Chen Xi went out and got in the car, he dialed Eva's phone, and since he was back in London, Chen Xi naturally wanted to meet her. The two have been separated for so long, although they have always been in contact by phone and text message, but how can it compare to the feeling of being face-to-face?

Chen Xi and Eva's dating is still very low-key, but Eva doesn't mind at all, she understands Chen Xi's distress very well, and at the same time, in her opinion, as long as she can be with Chen Xi, it doesn't matter what she does!

For Chen Xi, being with Eva can always make him let go of some superfluous thoughts in his heart and quietly enjoy the warmth that belongs to the two of them.

Finding a hidden position in the corner of the coffee bar to drink a cup of coffee, and taking advantage of the darkness in the movie theater to get close to each other, all made Chen Xi find a feeling of first love.

In other words, in the era before Chen Xi's crossing, Chen Xi, who was still in the category of early love, usually went out on dates with his first girlfriend secretly, for fear of being seen by classmates or parents.

Although she and Eva have not broken through that layer of relationship, Eva will not object to getting close to Chen Xi now, the two of them pull small hands, hug their waists, and kiss their mouths or something. However, every time she did this, Eva would still blush slightly, which made Chen Xi feel a sense of accomplishment.

After having dinner with Eva, Chen Xi sent the reluctant Eva home. After that, Chen Xi picked up Danny Weir again, drove to the hotel where the team was located, and then gave Danny Weir the key and asked him to drive back.

After a night's rest in the hotel, the team took a flight to Belgium the next morning.

Bruce is an ancient city in Belgium and a tourist destination. However, Chen Xi and his teammates are not here to travel, although Bru said that he is the weakest opponent in the group, but considering the statement that there is no weak team in the Champions League, everyone still does not dare to take it lightly.

Founded in 1891, the Bru team is the main force in Belgium against Anderlecht, because it is consistent with the style and color of the Serie A Inter Milan team, so it is also known as Belgian Inter!

Liverpool's greatest record in the team's history is also related to Liverpool, who reached the Champions League final in 1978 and missed out on the title with a 1-0 defeat at Wembley Stadium, which is also the best European Cup result in Belgian football history to date. At that time, it was Liverpool who defeated them!

Since then, the team has rarely played well in Europe.

In Young? At the Breddell Stadium, the well-prepared Liverpool team did not encounter much obstruction. In the end, with two goals in the second half of Owen and Chen Xi, Liverpool won 2-0 and won two consecutive wins in the group stage.

In the other group game, AC Milan beat Ajax, the former group winners, 1-0.

In this way, after two rounds, Liverpool won the group with six points from two games and two wins, while AC Milan and Ajax were ranked second and third with three points, and Bruzza was at the bottom of the group after losing both games! ――

After playing the match against the Bruce team, Chen Xi and his teammates rushed back to Liverpool, because they will have a tough battle in the league next! That's Arsenal, who finished second in the league, at Anfield!

This game is undoubtedly the focus of this round of the league, and it has been hyped by the media as the top battle of the league!

Although Arsenal is now 4 points behind Liverpool, which cannot be completed in one game, the direct dialogue between the two teams is still a crucial "six-point battle" in the whole season!

As soon as the Champions League ended, the media turned their attention to the battle for the top spot.

Liverpool have been the most spectacular team in the Premier League this season, winning all four of their warm-up games in the summer, two Champions League qualifiers and two Champions League group games, as well as seven league games.

Excluding the warm-up matches, Liverpool also maintained a terrifying record of 11 consecutive wins in all competitions this season!

At this time, as is customary, the British media will start calling for a team to stand up and put an end to the crazy situation of the Liverpool team!

Arsenal, as a London team, was originally the darling of most London-based media, and their unbeaten start to the season with five wins and two draws was definitely the top of the league table in previous years, but they met a more perverted Liverpool team than them. Obviously, in this case, Arsenal, who are second only to Liverpool in the league this season, have become the object of media pinching.

At this time, "The Sun" jumped out first, and their sports editor-in-chief Howard said that with the current strong lineup of the Arsenal team, at Anfield, they will be expected to end the unbeaten golden body of the Liverpool team!

Note that Howard is talking about Arsenal ending Liverpool's unbeaten streak, not ending Liverpool's winning streak. In other words, he is optimistic that Arsenal will win against Liverpool at Anfield!

In order to prove his claim, Howard even made a special trip to make a detailed comparison of the lineups of the two teams.

Liverpool now has the "Red Army Trio", but Arsenal also has the French gang that has been working together for many years.

In terms of attack, the Arsenal team has never been afraid of anyone, and with their lineup, if not better than Liverpool, at least they can be evenly matched. Defensively, their backline is also slightly better than Liverpool's.

Howard analyzed that the reason why the Liverpool team has achieved such crazy results is also related to the fact that they have not faced much challenge before. Obviously, this guy chose to ignore AC Milan, the reigning champions of last season's Champions League!

Many media outlets also believe that Arsenal will be Liverpool's biggest challenge in the league so far this season.

However, there are also many media outlets who have chosen to side with Liverpool. It's not just that Liverpool have been in great form this season and that they have the home side! It's because the Arsenal team has been in a lot of trouble lately.

First, in the sixth round of the league game, a big brawl broke out between Arsenal and Manchester United, and all six players in the team were charged by the FA. They may be in danger of being banned!

While the players who were aggressive against Ruud van Nistelrooy in the game against Manchester United have yet to be given a final suspension, the trio of Patrick Vieira, Bergkamp and Ljungberg have already decided that they will not be available for Saturday's trip to Liverpool at the top of the table with injuries.

To Arsene Wenger's relief, Campbell, the heart of the defence reeling from the loss of his father, has returned to training. But it remains to be seen how far he will be able to recover, and even whether he will be able to play.

All four, including Campbell, did not play in Wednesday's Champions League. Patrick Vieira strained his thigh, Ljungberg sprained his ankle and Bergkamp suffered his famously phobic flight. In this way, Arsene Wenger is likely to field the same line-up as Wednesday's Champions League squad for the game against Liverpool.

Due to his father's unexpected misfortune, Campbell has not played in a race since September 17.

Wenger said: "Campbell has come out of his grief and he has been involved in all the team's training sessions this week; However, I can't say for sure if he's mentally fit enough to compete. This Friday I will make a final decision on my line-up against Liverpool. ”

In addition to this, Arsene Wenger also responded to the situation in his squad: "We were in the spotlight for negative reasons and I think we played very well in the last round and showed great team spirit. We gave the right response on the pitch. It looked like everything was going against us, we had injuries in all positions. But every time this team is pleasantly surprised, they always find the energy to fight. Therefore, I am confident that we will also get a satisfactory result at Anfield this Saturday! ”

Thierry Henry, the team's number one star, also gave an interview before the game: "We've had some trouble lately, but that doesn't affect our determination to win, and at Anfield we have only one goal, which is to get all three points and close the gap on Liverpool!" ”

On the Liverpool side, the most concerned is Chen Xi, you must know that he was a veritable Arsenal nemesis when he was at Tottenham, he scored a hat-trick three times in the three north London derbies last season, becoming a nightmare for the Arsenal team!

Before the game, Chen Xi also gave an interview: "Although I left Tottenham, the Arsenal team is no longer my sworn enemy in the same city. But in the standings they are our rivals, so I'm still going to give my best in this game. I'm not going to give Arsenal any chance! ”

Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez has kept a low profile, saying in an interview: "Although Arsenal have a number of injured players out of the team, I don't think it will affect their strength. It's going to be a tough game at Anfield at the weekend! ”

What will happen to the two unbeaten teams at Anfield, fans across the UK and across Europe are looking forward to this weekend's fixture! ――

On Saturday, there was just over half an hour to go before the Liverpool and Arsenal match, but the stands at Anfield were already packed.

Liverpool fans came to the scene early to cheer on the team.

The Arsenal fans who came from afar also showed no weakness, although they had an absolute advantage in numbers, but they were also working together, hoping to witness the Arsenal team end Liverpool's winning record and narrow the gap with them at the same time!

Yang Xu and they also rushed to Liverpool from London again, and they have been wearing Liverpool shirts, but they came to Liverpool on the same bus as many Arsenal fans.

In the car, they felt a huge threat from the Arsenal fans. This situation lasted until they came to Liverpool, and before they arrived at Anfield, red jerseys were already everywhere on the streets of Liverpool, which made Yang Xu and the others feel that they had found an organization!

After entering Anfield, seeing the Arsenal fans who were crowded in a corner, Yang Xu felt a bad breath. When singing the team song with everyone, it looks full of momentum! ――

"Welcome to Sky TV to bring you a key battle in the eighth round of the 0304 Premier League season, Liverpool hosts Arsenal!"

"Since the two teams are in first and second place in the league standings, it's also a battle for the top of the table!"

"Liverpool are on a seven-game winning streak in the league ahead of this game, while Arsenal are unbeaten with five wins and two draws, and these two teams are arguably the best teams in the Premier League so far, and the direct conversation between them will undoubtedly determine the final league title!"

"Before the game, there were a number of injury news from the Arsenal side, including Bergkamp, Patrick Vieira and Ljungberg are all likely to miss the game. Liverpool, on the other hand, have not been reported with any injury news......"

Before the start of the game, Sky TV commentators were analysing the game as usual.

At the same time, in the locker room, the coaches of the two teams are also making the final arrangements.

"I don't think we need to say more about the importance of this game. If we win this game, our lead will be seven points, and in case of a loss, they will close the gap to one point. So, it's a six-point battle! Arsenal haven't been in good shape lately, they have had a number of injuries in their squad and we're playing at home this time, so I hope you can win this game and put us in the table! Benitez said to the players in the home team's dressing room.

...... "Lately, we haven't been in a good shape and we've had a lot of injuries in the squad. A lot of people don't think we think we're going to be easy for us. But we can't think so! That's right, Padraic (Vieira), Daniel [Bergkamp], Frederick (Ljungberg) are all injured. But I'm sure Ray (Parloer), Edu, Jeremy (Ariadelle) can do a great job too. Arsenal is never anyone's team, each and every one of you is a member of the team, everyone is qualified to represent Arsenal, and you are all capable of leading the Arsenal team to achieve results! I hope you can prove it well today! Arsene Wenger had something to say to his players in the visiting dressing room.

…… Boom~~~~~ the sky above Anfield Stadium suddenly erupted in a loud cheer.

"Okay, both teams are playing, let's see their starting line-ups......"

Following the commentator's words, the starting line-ups of both teams appeared on the TV screen:

Liverpool starting line-up (4-4-2):

Goalkeepers: Dudek Defenders: Finnan, Hyypia, Carragher, Reeser Midfielders: Danny Murphy, Xavi Alonso, Gerrard, Edison Chan Forwards: Heskey, Owen "We can see that Liverpool have almost all the lineup, only in the right midfield position, sending Danny Murphy, who has rarely played this season. Benitez should have taken a fancy to Danny Murphy's relatively excellent defensive ability. After all, Arsenal's left-backs Ashley Cole and Pierres are very attacking players, and Finnan will struggle to cope with their bombardments alone......

Arsenal starting line-up (4-4-2):

Goalkeepers: LehmannDefenders: Lauren, Toure, Campbell, ColeDefenders: Edu, Parloer, Gilberto, PireForwards: Thierry Henry, Aria Diere' Vieira, Ljungberg and Bergkamp did not appear in the starting line-up, and it seems that this was not a smokescreen released by Wenger before the game. Parloer, Edu and Aria Diale took their place......"

When he was on the pitch, Chen Xi could obviously feel the hatred from some Arsenal players around him.

Obviously, although Chen Xi has moved to Liverpool, he is still an enemy in the eyes of Arsenal players. Especially Ashley Cole, who took revenge on snatching girls in nightclubs, this guy has always remembered it!

After a series of ceremonies, the competition officially began.

Less than three minutes into the game, Steven Gerrard fired his first shot of the game with a heavy shot. Although the ball flew into the stands, it still ushered in the first wave of home fans in the stands!

Arsenal were unequivocal, and after only two minutes, they gave their own riposte!

Ashley Cole stepped in the assist and crossed from a 45-degree angle to find Aria Dire at the back post!

Aria Diere directly turned around and flicked his head at the goal, and the ball was slightly off the goal!

After only five minutes of play, both teams had one shot on goal, which set the tone for the attack.

Because Liverpool has a very dangerous Steven Gerrard, Wenger can't deal with Chen Xi today like he did with Tottenham Hotspur.

If Patrick Vieira was fine on the pitch, Gilberto Silva was a reassuring midfielder who could keep Steven Gerrard at bay on the edge of the box, allowing Arsene Wenger to send Patrick Vieira to keep an eye on Chen.

And today Vieira was injured and couldn't play, and he didn't worry about Parol defending Gerrard in the middle alone, so he could only send Parol to pay attention to the side to make up for Chen Xi.

Parol is not of the same level as Vieira, and the trouble he brings to Chen Xi is extremely limited!

In the eighth minute, Chen Xi came to the middle after breaking through Parl's defense and completed a powerful long-range shot!

It's just that Lehmann in front of the goal is very stable, and a side save blocks the ball off the bottom line!

Arsenal did a very good job defending the ensuing corners, while Liverpool failed to threaten.

Chen Xi on the left side did not suffer much trouble today, and it also allowed the Liverpool team to play more attacks around Chen Xi.

In the twelfth minute, Liverpool completed a wonderful combination on the left side!

Gerrard dribbled the ball through the midfield and distributed the ball to the feet of Chen Xi on the left.

As soon as Chen Xi took the ball, Parloor and Lauren surrounded him, and Chen Xi firmly protected the ball. After seeing Gerrard coming to answer, Chen Xi passed the ball back to Gerrard with his back heel!

As soon as Gerrard got the ball, Parol rushed towards Gerrard again, and Chen Xi plugged in at high speed!

After Gerrard received the ball, he leaned on Parlor with his back, and almost without looking back, he directly knocked it with his right heel, and the ball passed between Parlour's legs, and then slid past Lauren's side and rolled in front of Chen Xi!

Chen Xi had already used his speed to get rid of Lauren at this time, he received the ball and took two steps to the middle and swept the ball directly into the penalty area!

The ball rolled towards the penalty area at a very fast speed, and Hesky was wrestling with Campbell, ready to grab the point, but at this time, Owen made a detour from the middle to the front point, and then rushed to Husky and Campbell to poke the ball in the direction of the goal!

Lehmann kept his attention on Husky, ready to defend his shot, but he didn't want Owen to pop up suddenly, and in the face of his close shot, Lehmann didn't have time to make a save, and could only watch the ball drill into the goal!

“gooooooooooooooooooal！！！ Michael ~~~~~~~~ Owen!! In just ten minutes of the opening period, Liverpool took the lead at home! This is another exquisite cooperation between the three musketeers of the Red Army! It was a one-two link between Edison and Steven Gerrard on the left to tear through Arsenal's defence, and then Edison sent a pinpoint cross into the box. Owen ghostly appeared on the path of the ball and completed the fatal blow! ”

Boom~~~ The Liverpool fans in the stands stood up from their seats one by one in surprise at this time. Although they believed that their team could score, they did not expect that the goal would come so early!

Benitez also waved his arms excitedly to the sidelines, and the Liverpool players on the bench also rushed to the sidelines to cheer for Owen's goal!

After the goal, Owen opened his arms to celebrate his goal, and at the same time called Chen Xi and Gerrard to come over and celebrate!

Soon, the three of them hugged each other again.

The trio have played such a wonderful game many times this season, and the tacit cooperation on the pitch has made the relationship between the three very close.

Watching the celebration of these three people, the Liverpool fans in the stands also seemed very excited, they used to only have the twin stars of Gerrard and Owen, and now they have the Three Musketeers, and the power of the Three Musketeers is much more powerful than the previous twin stars.

Chen Xi's arrival successfully connected Gerald and Owen more closely, which also made the combined power of the three of them far greater than the sum of the strengths of the three!

This is a truly outstanding combination, a real team!

It's a combination that is not only pleasing to the fans, but also terrifying to the opponents.

The players of the Arsenal team seemed to have nothing to do about this conceded goal, and Wenger could only frown deeply and did not make any statement!

Only Henry, as the captain of the field, silently ran back to the backfield, fished the ball out of the goal, and shouted as he ran towards the midfield: "Cheer up, the game has just begun!" We're still a little bit of time! ”

When the captain of the team, Patrick Vieira, was unhappy with the club again and again over transfer issues, Henry gradually became the true leader of the team. His words also brought his teammates back to their senses!

It didn't take long for Chen Xi and his teammates to celebrate and return to their positions. The early lead puts them in a good mood, but at the same time they know that it will inevitably boost the opponent's fighting spirit and make them work harder.

Sure enough, after the game restarted, the Arsenal team took advantage of the ball to launch a direct attack!

Arsenal's Ashley Cole and Pires attacked on the left was originally what Liverpool feared, and as a result, striker Thierry Henry also ran to the left!

Even Danny Murphy returned to the backcourt, and Xavi Alonso, who helped defend him, really couldn't stop the cooperation between the three of them in the last two years!

Eventually, the ball was at Thierry Henry's feet and the Frenchman used his pace to get away from Xavi Alonso and head straight into the middle.

Before Gerrard defended it, he shot directly with his right foot and pumped into the near corner!

The ball is powerful and the angle is extremely tricky.

Although Dudek in front of the goal made the first save, he was still out of reach and failed to touch the ball!

By this time, the Arsenal fans behind the goal had already stood up from their seats. Arsene Wenger on the sidelines also left the dugout and was ready to cheer!

However, the sound of "bang" interrupted their celebration, and the ball hit the post hard!

Oh~~~ The Arsenal fans in the stands can only sit back in their places one by one!

Henry also hugged his forehead in disbelief
