Liverpool and Arsenal have become England's most talked-about teams after the Champions League round of 16, and with Chelsea knocked out, they are also England's hopes for the Champions League title.

Now the two teams are going to play each other.

This is a game that many people have been looking forward to for a long time, and the last leg between Liverpool and Arsenal was in February, it was a make-up game, and after 90 minutes of battle, Liverpool won by one goal at Anfield.

Arsenal fans are expecting revenge at home.

It's just that before the game, Arsenal fans heard no good news, such as Zhang Tiehan's comeback, maybe this news is enough for them to ignore all the other good news, Zhang Tiehan is England's most watched star, when he was injured, many Arsenal fans were also glad that the team and Liverpool played after Christmas, that is, they played Liverpool in two legs this season, and there will be no Zhang Tiehan, then they have a great hope of victory, but unfortunately the first leg, They still lost at Anfield.

Now they're playing at home.

Arsenal fans are looking forward to it...... Waiting for Liverpool with Zhang Tiehan to visit Highbury Stadium made many Arsenal fans a little afraid to watch the game, yes, that's what they thought.

Zhang Tiehan's deterrent power is too strong!

It's really too strong.

A few days ago, just after the injury was over, two goals in their first Champions League appearance were a bit chilling, and Arsenal fans were still looking forward to it, but at the same time they were worried that the team would lose. Everyone knows that Liverpool has Zhang Tiehan and no Zhang Tiehan are two teams, Liverpool without Zhang Tiehan, scoring has always been a problem, with Zhang Tiehan, Liverpool is definitely like a tiger, and a flying tiger against each other, it is never a good choice, even if Arsenal is also a tiger, they are also in a natural weakness.

So Arsenal fans will be worried about the team losing.

However, according to the media's rational analysis, Arsenal still has a good chance of winning. They have been in good form lately. The league has won steadily, and the Champions League table is even more perfect, even though Arsenal is about to meet Serie A leaders Juventus in the Champions League quarterfinals, there are still media who have found the perfect excuse for Arsenal.

"Arsenal are recovering Liverpool's winning path!"

That's what The Times said.

"[After the draw was announced] Arsenal's goal was to win the title. Just like Liverpool did last season. ”

Arsenal's trajectory this season is quite similar to that of the Reds last season. It's all in the league. Singing all the way in Europe. Arsenal currently sit fifth in the Premier League, but in the Champions League, the Gunners have a strong record. 5 wins and 1 draw in the group stage, and 1 win and 1 draw in the two legs of the 1/8 knockout round eliminated Real Madrid.

In contrast, Liverpool finished the Premier League in fifth place last season.

"Liverpool didn't perform well in the league last season and Arsenal this season is the same." Former Arsenal star Alan Martin Smith said, "But in the end, Liverpool won the Champions League in the Premier League. I believe Arsenal can repeat Liverpool's title-winning scene. ”

Maybe Alan Martin Smith has some truth in what he said.

Coincidentally, Arsenal faced the same opponents Liverpool faced at the same time last season, when Liverpool eliminated eventual Serie A champions Juventus 2-1 at home, 0-0 away and 2-1 on aggregate. More coincidentally, Arsenal today, like Liverpool last year, are drawn in the order of home and away, and the Gunners seem to have escaped into the trajectory of the Reds a year ago.

In addition to the reasons mentioned above, Arsenal also have the advantage that according to the draw, if Arsenal beat Juventus to reach the last four, they will face Inter, Ajax or Villarreal, thus avoiding Barcelona and AC Milan, who were in the limelight in the first leg.

'The draw for Arsenal turned out very well. Alan Martin Smith said: "If Thierry Henry stays fit and the rest of the main players, especially those who can have an impact on the outcome of the game, stay fit, Arsenal are clearly capable of moving forward. ”

This argument definitely exists in the zài market.

In contrast, Liverpool's results are not good, they have to face Barcelona, and then likely to face AC Milan, two giant-like opponents in a row, even if Liverpool's table is very good, they are still not favored to win the title again, which can also be seen from the European bookmakers' odds for the Champions League winner, among the eight teams, Barcelona has the lowest odds to win the title, only 1 to 2.5, and Villarreal is the highest odds, reaching 1 to 31.

The other teams are Juventus, AC Milan, Lyon, Arsenal, Liverpool and Inter Milan from lowest to highest.

The above looks at the Premier League teams are actually not favored.

The fact is also the case, Arsenal's Champions League results in history have always been bad, although this season's table is strong, but a team that is good at attacking and defending is very weak, it is still very difficult to win the Champions League, but their odds are still lower than Liverpool, which is the reason for the quarterfinals draw, before the quarterfinals draw, Liverpool's ranking is above Lyon, this is still because Liverpool is the champion of the Champions League last season, and the Champions League champion has not been defended by a team for decades, which affects Liverpool's odds, However, after the quarter-finals draw, Liverpool's odds have skyrocketed, and they will meet Barcelona and AC Milan, and few are optimistic that Liverpool can make it all the way to the final.

And when it comes to the league between the two teams, Arsenal is also very hopeful of winning.

It's not just luck or strength, Henry has scored in the last three games, although Zhang Tiehan looks stronger, but in comparison with the two, Henry will be more stable, Zhang Tiehan may be affected by injuries, to be exact, this is Zhang Tiehan's first game after his comeback - the first start.

So what exactly he will say, no one can predict.

Arsenal also have the advantage of playing at home, and at Highbury Stadium, Arsenal tend to be quite good, and no matter what team they face, it's not uncommon to score three goals in half at this stadium.

Historically, though, the Independent's numbers have been very passive for Arsenal, who have not beaten Liverpool in six seasons before that, and the last time they scored the goal was by famous goalscorer Ian Wright.

This shows that Liverpool's win rate is still quite high.

But Arsene Wenger expressed confidence in the game before the game: "We are in good shape, we will score against them and then we will win the game. ”

'I'm looking forward to the game and I'm sure we can win it.'

Arsene Wenger said.

Rafael Benitez didn't respond to anything in his pre-match press conference, and the Spaniard was very low-key, simply answering reporters' questions before heading back to the dressing room for the final game set-up.

Soon the battle at Highbury Field kicked off as the players from both teams took to the pitch???

……?

"Beep......

Referee Alkinson blew the whistle for the start of the game.

Arsenal kicked off first, with Thierry Henry kicking the ball to his team-mates before quickly cutting forward to announce the start of the game.

Henry's partner for this game is Emmanuel Adebayor, a star who started his playing career in a football camp in Lomé and was discovered by Metz, who has been favored by many teams in Ligue 1, and finally chose Monaco and Arsenal last Christmas.

Five million pounds is what Adebayo is worth.

At a time when Arsenal are heavily indebted and rely on Middle Eastern investment to keep the club running, being able to spend five million pounds to buy a striker would also prove that Wenger is optimistic about Adebayor, who has in fact started four times in the past two months since joining Arsenal.

With four starts in just two months, Bam Adebayo is not only fancied, but his performance is also quite good.

This time, Bam Adebayor did not live up to Wenger's trust.

The game had just begun, and in the first attack, Adebayor received a pass from midfielder Cesc Fabregas and gave Henry a chance on the left side of the penalty area, and the Frenchman chose to turn and shoot directly.

The shot sent Liverpool out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, the football missed a little and flew out from the bottom line, otherwise Arsenal would have scored at the beginning, and Liverpool would have been really difficult to play.

Thierry Henry's shot not only scared Liverpool, but also gave the team a great boost and morale, and the Arsenal fans in Highbury also cheered for the excitement of the attack, and the confidence of the Arsenal fans in the team was even more abundant to see that the first attack could be so threatening.

……

In England, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have always been special teams.

The peculiarity lies in the fact that from the fifties of the last century to the present for nearly fifty years, both teams have been able to adhere to their traditional style and remain the same, even if the coach has changed one after another in the past 50 years, but the football style of the two teams has not changed much.

They all stick to an all-in offense and defense similar to Ajax in the 70s.

Perhaps Tottenham Hotspur's attack is more extreme, while Arsenal are more stable and orderly, their attack is like a whirlwind, everyone is advancing at high speed, and everyone is back to tackle together.

Of course, the times are different, and the requirements for players will be different, Arsenal have faster speed, more frequent passing and receiving frequency, unprecedented interspersed running, more intense physical confrontation, better anti-offside ability, more accurate kicks, faster returns, and more dominant control of the game.

This style of football is quite difficult to play, and any link that is not done well will directly affect the result of the game and the course of the game, and many times it is related to the style of play.

When Arsenal play style, the attack is like mercury and the defense is airtight
