The victory over Arsenal made the whole Liverpool team feel good.

It's not easy to win 4:2 at Highbury Stadium, everyone thinks Arsenal is an attacking team, and the defense will not be too good, but there are not many teams that really score a lot of goals against Arsenal, this season's Arsenal league table is not very stable, but only Chelsea can beat them by a big score, but when they played Arsenal in the second leg, the results were only a draw, and Liverpool beat Arsenal twice, a 1:0, a 4:2, Liverpool and Arsenal have a perfect record.

Not to mention that the opponent is Arsenal, Liverpool has not won such a hearty game for a long time.

In the previous two months, not three months, the team has not guaranteed to score, and many games have not scored, which has also allowed Liverpool to 'harvest' a lot of draws, some games are scored by one goal, but most of the attack comes from the midfield.

Anyone knows that when a team with a striker, always scoring in the midfield, their table is deformed.

Here, Barcelona's style of team does not count, at least Liverpool belongs to the team that relies on the front line to score goals, and in the whole of England, no team will rely on the midfield to score, in general, the front line is the main thing, even if Arsenal is a team that is full of attack and defense, their top scorer is also Henry, who is a pure striker.

This is especially true of Liverpool.

Liverpool's style is not fundamentally different from that of Manchester United and Chelsea, all three teams are traditional English powerhouses with good physicality and skill, and their style is tough but technical, and similarly, they rely heavily on the front court for goals, and they will also pay the most attention to risk every time it comes to the summer recruitment.

Manchester United have Ruud van Nistelrooy, Wayne Rooney, Alan Smith.

Chelsea have Didier Drogba, Crespo.

Liverpool have Zhang Tiehan...... Well, just because Liverpool can really only name one Zhang Tiehan. So when Zhang Tiehan was injured, Liverpool's forward line seemed to have no one to top, which had a great impact on Liverpool's results, and the whole team felt out of form, and for Liverpool, no goal was equivalent to no form.

But now they have another big win!

Whichever team keeps scoring goals will be happy. Which player will be happy to see that his team is always scoring goals, of course, those strikers who are under competitive pressure and can't play unless, here we are talking about most players, such as defenders, midfielders, they try to defend, try to attack with the aim of winning, not for themselves to score, the forward line can score. Their efforts were not in vain, and if they were always slow to score, then the midfielders would not have gained anything in completing the attack and creating chances.

No one will be satisfied with that.

After the match with Arsenal, Liverpool was full of laughter, and this is all for one reason - Zhang Tiehan is back!

Zhang Tiehan's return brings continuous goals!

Three goals, hat-trick. This is also worth celebrating for Zhang Tiehan, in fact. It was his second hat-trick in the Premier League, having last been against Chelsea in September, where Zhang Tiehan scored a hat-trick to secure a big victory.

A big win over the Blues, a big win over the Gunners, the gold content of these two hats is too high.

So much so that many media reported the game as soon as possible after the game. The first time to tell all the fans about the excitement of this game, the hat of Zhang Tiehan in this game.

Just like the "Sun" first published a news headline about the game on the official website - "Zhang, it's back!" ”

With a hat, he announced his return.

It's like telling everybody, "I'm back." I'm still strong, England, no, the whole of Europe is shaking at the chance of my return! ”

The media's coverage of Zhang Tiehan was largely amazed.

He has just returned from injury and played in two games, one as a substitute in the Champions League, scoring two goals to help Liverpool knock out Benfica to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and the second league game away to Arsenal, completing a hat-trick to help the team win the opponents.

The table of the two games is chilling.

How important is Zhang Tiehan to Liverpool? These two games can be seen.

Compared with the previous three months of Liverpool's weak front, after Zhang Tiehan's return, Liverpool completed an easy victory, or a big victory, the comparison between the two is too obvious, and some media praised, "With Zhang, without Zhang, Liverpool is really two teams." ”

Yes.

When the news of Zhang Tiehan's return came out, when Liverpool and Arsenal matched, Zhang Tiehan scored a hat and came out, European bookmakers immediately lowered the odds for Liverpool to win the Champions League, and their odds were soon as low as AC Milan.

This shows that Liverpool with Zhang Tiehan is at the same level as AC Milan in the eyes of fans, and Liverpool without Zhang Tiehan can only be better than Villarreal, and it can't catch up with Arsenal at all.

The difference between the two - one is the giants of the century, one of the strongest teams in Europe, and the other can only be a strong team, and winning the game is considered an underdog.

That's the difference!

At the post-match press conference, Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez smiled happily, "Today's table has shown why we want to sign him for £30 million. ”

"His recovery from injury is big news for the team, his performance today is perfect and amazing, yes, even I didn't expect Zhang to be so good, I hope he can maintain his form, so that our game will be much better."

Benitez's praise of Zhang Tiehan did not come as a surprise to the media.

Zhang Tiehan's appearance is really good, he is almost the leader of Liverpool's victory, such a table is not too much praise, but after Benitez said a few words, the topic turned to the whole team, such as Cisse's goal, "It was a good goal, Zhang's pass is very good, Cisse's mentality is also very stable, he kicked the ball steadily, I hope this can add some confidence to him." ”

"No team can have only one striker, Zhang must have a partner."

Benitez has always thought that if there is a good partner, Zhang Tiehan's goals will become more guaranteed, and the team's forward line is two people, if only Zhang Tiehan is good alone, then Liverpool can change the formation of 451 or 4231. It's not what Liverpool are good at, but it's better than wasting a position.

This is a crisis for others, namely Cisse and Morientes.

Last month, when Zhang Tiehan was still doing rehabilitation training and did not officially return to the team, Gerrard thought in an interview. 'In addition to Zhang, we also need a goalscorer who can take chances, but Liverpool have not found that candidate.

Zhang Tiehan is stronger as a center forward.

A center forward is originally a striker in a tactical sense, generally in a professional team in England, the center forward is tactically attractive to the defense, and the center should be paired with a shooter who can score goals efficiently is the best, but Liverpool's current situation is very strange, Zhang Tiehan as a center forward covers most of the goals, but the efficient shooter can't see it at all.

This state is not normal.

As a master tactician. Benitez is naturally aware of this, and after Zhang Tiehan's return, he has been thinking about changing the team's tactics, the main reason being the inaction of Cisse and Morientes, of course, this idea is still in the 'heart', he has not said it, and it is unlikely to be practiced this season.

As for next season?

There was a goal-scoring player in the summer.

In Gerald's words. "Owen is a good choice," of course. Benitez may not think so, the two have never communicated in this regard, although Irving was not traded away by Benitez at that time, but the departure of the golden boy is also very related to Benitez.

But Liverpool need a striker who can score goals, and if Cisse and Morientes don't do anything else, they could both be traded away.

This is professional football.

Liverpool celebrated a big win with joy. Arsenal didn't feel so good and, in fact, they weren't even in the mood to reflect on the defeat after the game, as almost all the news about them was about Thierry Henry's transfer.

Before the Liverpool game, Henry's transfer was only a few rumours. Now it seems to be a certainty.

Two months ago, Catalonia's largest sports newspaper, Daily Sport, said conclusively: "Henry will join Barcelona next season with 90 per cent." ”

The news spread, and there was an uproar.

Laporta said: "We do have a soft spot for Henry. ”

Arsene Wenger replied strongly: "Thierry Henry still has a contract with Arsenal and I'm not happy that Barcelona is doing this. This is how the "soap opera" began...... And Henry, as the protagonist, has never made a positive statement.

It was the biggest news of the time, but after so much time, no one was sure if Henry was leaving, and the day after the Liverpool-Arsenal match, the Catalan newspaper Atletico 9 confirmed once again that Henry's verbal agreement with Barcelona did exist, and that the alliance had been made a year earlier.

The two sides held a negotiation at the beginning of the month, and it was during that negotiation that Rijkaard and Begiristain received a verbal promise from Henry: "Once you leave Arsenal, the only destination is Barcelona." ”

Athletic No. 9 also said that despite Arsenal's offer to retain Henry for a five-year contract extension with a weekly salary of £100,000, Henry seems unmoved. Instead, he and Arsenal president Dunn have given "warnings" of wanting to leave Highbury at the end of the season.

Laporta, who participated in Albertini's farewell match in Milan yesterday, was also asked by reporters about Thierry Henry's joining, and the chairman of the lawyer was calm: "I don't think it's time to talk about it." ”

Almost at the same time, Matt Hughes, a reporter for the English newspaper The Times, pointed out that the reason why Laporta is reluctant to talk about Henry's joining now is that the two sides have only a verbal agreement, and indeed they have not officially signed a contract; Second, Henry has been on Arsenal's contract for more than a year, and they are still in the quarter-finals of the Champions Cup, which is unreasonable.

However, the Times still has insight from within Barcelona. The newspaper said that Barcelona are ready to announce the successful introduction of the transfer before the start of the World Cup with Henry already initialling the agreement.

The only obstacle for both sides is the amount of the transfer fee.

Previously, "World Sports" and "Daily Sports" have detailed this situation, given that Henry's contract with Arsenal is about to expire, and Barcelona has paid a transfer fee of around 15 million euros.

Henry seems to have a 90 percent chance of leaving Arsenal, but the English media, especially the London media, naturally hope that Henry can be sold for a high price, no matter what, Henry is now England's top scorer, and the Premier League's top scorer is only 15 million euros?

"If it really gets to the point where it has to be sold, Arsenal also want Thierry Henry to sell it for a good price, at least £20 million." The Times put it a little differently, "Taking a step back, Barcelona have announced that they have at least €30 million in money available for transfers this summer, and £20 million should not be a problem. ”

However, the two major sports newspapers in Barcelona, Spain, "Daily Sports" and "World Sports", talked about the introduction of Henry, and said: "Barcelona only needs to spend 15 million euros at most." ”

So some fans couldn't understand.

Then Zhang Tiehan was involved again, since Zhang Tiehan's comeback, especially after the game against Arsenal, there has been more news about his transfer, and anyone knows that Liverpool are going through an economic crisis, and if the temptation is big enough, they definitely don't mind selling their 'most efficient striker in Europe'.

It's just a matter of price.

Many people speculate that Liverpool's heart is low, that is definitely not a small amount, after all, Liverpool needs money and is not stupid, Zhang Tiehan was worth nearly 30 million pounds when he joined Liverpool a year ago, after nearly a season, Zhang Tiehan's table is obvious to all, although he has just experienced an injury, but the game with Arsenal proves that this has no impact at all, in Serie A, the Premier League can play strongly, Zhang Tiehan no longer wants to prove anything, before Christmas, "French football" Zhang Tiehan's value is estimated at 40 million pounds, that is, about 60 million euros, but the evaluation of "French football" is generally lower than the player's personal value, after all, they do not calculate the commercial value.

Zhang Tiehan's commercial value is also revealed, he is not as good as Beckham, not as good as Rooney, not as good as C-Ronaldo, and not as good as the young Messi who played his fists in Barcelona, but he is still very popular with fans, and he is much better than Rooney, C-Ronaldo, and Messi, and his commercial value is not low.

In summary, if you want to take Zhang Tiehan from Anfield, you have to shell out at least 80 million euros.

This is not something that the average team can afford.

Only Real Madrid, Chelsea, Inter Milan and a few other teams can afford to buy stars, such as Barcelona, Manchester United, Bayern Munich and other teams. (To be continued......)
