Post-match press conference

Wenger, who was waiting in the studio hall early, was full of smiles, such a result even the professor did not expect, he thought that it would be good to be able to consume the physical strength of Liverpool's main force, but he did not expect that now he has face, and at this moment he very much wants to see what kind of expression Benitez is.

Arsene Wenger waited almost three minutes before Rafael Benitez arrived, his face blank and unwavering, as if the game that had just ended had no effect on him.

The two managers shook hands and sat down on the podium to prepare for the upcoming press conference.

Arsene Wenger was the first to speak, who was pleased with the game, "It was a great game, both sides played at a very high level, which was in line with expectations, and although a lot of people questioned that we sent so many substitutes to play such an important game, I would say that when you don't win, you always think about what could have been different. It's difficult, but you have to make a decision, and given our schedule, you can't always send the same eleven and it won't work. For example, Bam Adebayor feels like he has a problem with his ankle, Hleb is a little tired after the last game, Klich is very tired, and so on, all of which we need to consider...... The important thing is the process and the result, the scene is very good, exciting, the score of 1:1 is also worthy of our efforts, at this time to say that we are substitutes, do not pay attention to the game, then it is not an insult to Arsenal, but an insult to Liverpool. ”

Speaking about the impact of the game on the title winning situation, Arsene Wenger said: "I don't think Arsenal's title challenge is over yet, because in theory it's not over. Arsenal only play for themselves, we don't think about who is in the way of the result, we only think about whether it is in our favor or not. ”

Arsene Wenger has been in football for many years, and the words on the scene are naturally leaky, so that no one can use the game to find trouble for Arsenal, and the words are full of joy that slapped Liverpool in the face.

Benitez is upset for sure, but he doesn't want to show it because he knows that if he does, Wenger and those who don't like Liverpool will only be more happy.

"I have to say that the result of the game is not in line with our goal, our goal in this game is to get three points, only with three points can we take our destiny into our own hands, unfortunately we didn't get it, fate is no longer in our hands, we are waiting for the result of tomorrow's game between Manchester United and Middlesbrough, maybe there will be a miracle, maybe there will be no chance, but we will never give up, we have to win all five games in the last five games, and then we will see who deserves to win the league."

Benitez did not criticize the performance of the Liverpool players, he said: "Liverpool played well, under the opponent's desperate running, desperate blocking, we still controlled the field and took the lead, but our luck was not good enough, we were not able to keep the final victory, although this game was a draw, but for us it is no different from losing, we don't complain about luck, we don't blame ourselves, all we can do is play the next game." ”

After saying that, Benitez apologized to the reporters present, said that he still had something to deal with, and did not accept the reporters' questions, turned around and left the scene.

Everyone knew that Benitez was in a bad mood, and the host didn't dare to say anything, his hand was halfway stretched out and retracted, and he could only watch Benitez leave halfway.

Carrington

Manchester United's training base

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Manchester United players had not yet come out to train, they had just watched the match between Liverpool and Arsenal, and they were listening to manager Alex Ferguson.

“…… Here's your chance! We've been chasing for so long, we've been holding on for so long, we've been waiting for this opportunity, there are five rounds left in the league, as long as we grit our teeth and kill Arsenal and Chelsea, we can snatch the title from Liverpool, everyone will make mistakes, Liverpool is the same, it's just that they made this mistake at the wrong time, as long as we can win Middlesbrough tomorrow, we won't give them another chance to make amends......"

Ferguson clenched his fists and waved, his face was full of excitement, from the bad start of the league to the current close following, Manchester United can be regarded as starting low and going high this season, but because of the bug-like team of Liverpool, Manchester United has never had a chance to reach the top.

Although Liverpool is only 1 point ahead, considering that Liverpool won all the way to the last round of the league last season, Ferguson is actually chasing and losing confidence, who would have thought that at this time Liverpool was forced to draw by the semi-main Arsenal, which can be regarded as a gutter overturn, and there are only five rounds left in the league, although Manchester United has opponents like Chelsea and Arsenal, but if you grit your teeth, you don't dare to say that you can't win them all, after all, there are Champions League games in between, Arsenal and Chelsea will not fight to the death with Manchester United, Today's Arsenal semi-main squad speaks for itself.

Ferguson went on to explain to the players how to deal with the relationship between the league and the Champions League," ...... The quarter-finals of the Champions League are important, of course they are important, the league championship is important, of course they are important, if I were to choose only one, it would be very difficult, but now we don't need to choose, we have to do a good job in the league and the Champions League, don't be intimidated, just do it, believe in yourself, believe me, as long as we persevere, the victory is ours. ”

Even if Ferguson doesn't blow the wind, Manchester United's players have long been excited, and it is Manchester United players who want to push Liverpool off the throne the most.

In the past three years, Manchester United has been suppressed, first Chelsea, then Liverpool, Manchester United's players have always regarded themselves as the number one giants in the Premier League, and they have been suppressed for three consecutive years, and the spirit and confidence have been very big, they have been looking for opportunities to turn over, and they can always bite Liverpool in the case of Arsenal and Chelsea's weakness is this spirit of winning the championship is working.

"Here's your chance! Liverpool is self-defeating! ”

"God is going to give us the champion, we have to catch it!"

"I was so angry when I think about Liverpool's rampant last season, we must trample them under our feet this season!"

"The league too! Champions League too! We want a double crown! ”

"It's definitely a great feeling to step on Liverpool to win the title!"

……

As soon as Ferguson finished speaking, the players exploded and shouted.

Ferguson and his disciples cherished such an opportunity, and even imagined how to deal with Arsenal and Chelsea in the future, but they forgot that Middlesbrough, who are ranked 14th, agreed or not.

Almost at the same time, Liverpool's training base, Hillwood, Rafael Benitez and the entire squad of Liverpool, were also in session.

“…… Our goal is to win all the titles, first we lost the Carabao Cup, and now the league is very likely to lose the initiative, will Manchester United still give us a chance? You all know how difficult it is to win the Champions League, the only thing we are somewhat sure of is the FA Cup, who will tell me if in the end all we can get is the FA Cup, who will be responsible, how will we meet the fans who are expecting us, why should we go beyond history......

Benitez, who was not in front of the public, lost his previous calm, he first made a self-criticism, saying that he was not prepared for the game, and did not analyze Arsenal's mentality, and then criticized Liverpool's players, pointing the finger at Gerrard and the striker, in fact, Benitez wanted to criticize Chen Yu together, just because Chen Yu scored a goal, without this goal Liverpool may even lose the game, even if Benitez is dissatisfied with Chen Yu, he can't put a word of criticism on him, It's just that his teammates are being criticized, and Chen Yu's face is also hot, and his heart is full of taste.

Benitez vented for almost ten minutes, feeling that there was more luck in this game, and he was afraid that criticizing it too much might make these big names dissatisfied, Benitez stopped his mouth and changed his tone of comfort, and said, "...... My tone was a little heavy just now, but we insisted on making such a mistake at this time, and my heart was really uncomfortable......" Feeling that his anger was about to come up again, Benitez took a deep breath and said, "...... We can make mistakes, Manchester United may also capsize in the gutter, this is the end of the matter, let's look at things in a more optimistic way, no matter what the result of today's game is, no matter what the result of Manchester United's game tomorrow, we don't think too much, what we have to do is to play the Champions League in midweek, although the first leg of the Champions League is still Arsenal's home stadium, their main team is better rested than us, but we have to beat them, a bunch of little kids and a nerd, if we fold in their hands twice in a row, It doesn't mean anything to win this championship for us. ”

Liverpool's players have not been silent, they have been criticized for so long, a word or two of comfort is not enough to motivate them, but they have made up their minds in their hearts to beat Arsenal in midweek and avenge the defeat that was blocked today.

Benitez saw that the players were still in a state of low spirits, and knew that this was not something that could be changed with a few words, there were still three days to go before the midweek game, most of these people were experienced professional players, and they would regulate their emotions, as for young people like Babel and Pennant, they had to do their own work, and the Champions League match with Arsenal was by no means an easy task, Chen Yu alone would definitely not work, today's game has proved this, every player must go all out, It takes the Gunners to play their best.

"Adjournment! Go back and get some rest, stop thinking about the game and train on time tomorrow. ”

Benitez waved his hand and told the player to go back to rest.

The players were leaving, and Gerrard was at the end, he paused, as if he wanted to say something to Benitez, and seeing that Benitez was still looking down in thought, he shook his head and turned away.
