Arsenal had won three games in a row, and the Gunners fans were already a little tired of beating Liverpool, and there were not many Gunners fans in this very important game for Liverpool, and the entire Anfield stadium was almost completely covered in red, and the colors that belonged to the Gunners were almost a few reefs in the sea.

Liverpool's results this season have been very good, and the enthusiasm of the fans is also very high, and the tickets for the games against Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal were all sold a month ago.

Usually important matches are played in the evening, but today the match between Arsenal and Liverpool was scheduled for lunch. 45 is still a little uncomfortable for Liverpool, who are used to playing evening games.

Fans came to the stadium early to wait for the start of the game, and banners of all sizes were pulled in the stands, like flags waving in the wind.

Liverpool's die-hard fan organization "Shankly's Soul" was the first to arrive, and they helped to get the banners and slogans in the stands, and seeing that the game was approaching, the "Shankly's Soul" fan group began to lead fans to sing the team song together to create the atmosphere of the game.

Such a game will obviously have a lot of football stars, movie stars and business tycoons come to watch the game, and before the game has even started, reporters have begun to put their cameras and cameras against the stands to see if there are any celebrities that fans like.

So McManaman, Rush, Dalglish and other former Liverpool stars have appeared in front of the fans, in addition to the expected football stars, there are also some stars outside the football world, such as Daniel Craig and Christy Gallahel, Daniel Craig is the sixth UU7 actor and an out-and-out Liverpool fan. Christy Gallahel is a well-known anchor on Sky TV, and she has a good role in the famous British "Gladiator" TV series, and is very popular in the British Isles.

In addition, to the surprise of fans, a non-star yellow woman appeared in the reporter's lens, but fans who are familiar with Chen Yu know her, she is Chen Yu's ex-girlfriend Lin Hong, who was hyped some time ago, and now she is also famous, many TV stations asked her to be the host, and the publishing house hopes to cooperate with her to publish a book and write the story that she and Chen Yu have to tell, but Lin Hong did not agree, and still silently did her original job.

The arrival of these stars eased the atmosphere at Anfield Stadium, and everyone went from passionately talking about strategy and tactics and winning or losing to discussing the past of the stars and Chen Yu's scandals.

However, the theme of this game is of course football, and as the main players come out to warm up, the attention of the fans returns to the field, and the commentators on the scene also began to introduce the line-ups of both sides to the fans in the game.

Arsenal are in a formation of 44: 1 Lehmann; - Ebo, Toure, 1o Las, - Chrissy; 4 Fabregas, 8 Ljungberg, 13 Hleb; Baptista, 15-Denilson, -Adebayo, 14-Henry.

Liverpool's lineup is 43 - Reina; Reese, - Carragher, Ager, Finnan; - Mascherano, 14 River Longso, 16 - Pennant, 11 marks. Gonzalez, 8 Gerald; Chen Yu.

It is not surprising that the carefree Arsenal in the league is almost the main force, after all, this is a strong conversation, as a giant team, Arsenal can not lose too badly even if they don't care about winning or losing, this face must be saved, but Liverpool has a 451 lineup that surprised the fans very much.

The on-site commentator joked: "Everyone on the earth knows that Rafa loves to change formations, but there are not only broken formations that have become criticized, but also strange formations that have become clever and powerful enemies are invisible, Rafa should have estimated that Wenger is either 44 or 441I, so he released the 31 formation, are you familiar with this formation?" Yes, during the World Cup in Germany, the French team used a formation of 31, but in a bad tone, the French team played better and better, and finally rushed all the way to the final, it seems that Rafa intends to learn from the formation and playing style of the French team, but Liverpool does have this staffing, the French team uses Vieira to partner Makelele, 31 in the hardness of the "", and Benitez uses Mascherano to partner Alonso, these two people are no worse than Vieira and Makelele. The advantage of this is naturally to strengthen the defense, and secondly, or most importantly: the liberation of Gerrard is like not being able to command Zidane as a defender, if Gerrard emphasizes his defensive responsibilities too much, it is obvious that the gains will be greater than the losses, and the appearance of the double back will naturally improve Gerrard's position, and the offensive factor in his body will be greatly stimulated. The two backs are good, the dominant situation is still the defensive situation, if you want to win, you still have to rely on the offense, 31 in the 1 is the key to today's score, although there is only one striker Chen Yu, but Gerrard is impacting in the middle, Mark Gonzalez and Pennant are on the left and right, and the fullbacks Riser and Finnan can also press the assist, with these offensive personnel, there is really no need for Kuyt and Crouch to share the pressure on Chen Yu. After all, Arsenal's midfield is so powerful, Liverpool must use the number of people to suppress their midfield, otherwise it will be difficult to beat Arsenal with a single Chen Yu, and Liverpool's first three losses to Arsenal this season speak for themselves. ”

After the main warm-up returned to the dressing room, Benitez also came to the dressing room, since the last ten minutes of the away game was forced to draw by Fiorentina, Benitez has not shown a smile on his face, which also makes the Liverpool players who have always liked to be funny in the dressing room a lot more restrained, dare not laugh lightly.

Benitez looked at the players who were sorting out their jerseys and protective gear with stern expressions, and didn't know how to speak for a while, because what should have been said had already been said more than once, and the tactics that should be practiced have been practiced since Italy came back, and now that the game is about to be played, nothing more will help.

In the end, Benitez decided to start with morale, losing to the same opponent three times in a row this season, although it was an element of Liverpool's strategic abandonment, but this is also something that has never happened, Benitez is worried that the morale and confidence of the players will be affected, and they will not be able to play their level normally.

'There are eight rounds left in the league and this is the strongest game of the eight games, we have lost three times to Arsenal and we have lost badly, you and I are under a lot of pressure, as the saying goes, it is only three things, I think now it is time for us to get revenge, now we have a good personnel, we are in good shape, and the return of Chen Yu, it is all good for us, but to beat Arsenal, it is not enough, do you know why Chelsea always beat Arsenal? Yes, we must play hard, we must show the momentum of the brave to win in a narrow road, play hard, play fiercely, play positively, so as to ensure that we can get three points, Manchester United and Chelsea have won, if we don't get three points, basically miss the championship, the previous 17 consecutive wins will be meaningless; But you don't have too much pressure, let alone rush, the example of Fiorentina is obvious, how to grasp this scale, how to adjust your mentality, I believe you all understand, the vast majority of our players are members of the championship, this game you have to play as a final, seize every opportunity, whoever makes a mistake, who will make amends, it is better to foul early, don't wait until near the penalty area to change, Henry has a beautiful free kick

After a pause, Benitez said: "Arsenal has no hope of winning the championship, there is basically no problem in the top four, their fighting spirit is certainly not as strong as ours, the key to this game is not to let them play with momentum, once we score first, they probably won't fight hard, but once they score first, we will be difficult to play, if Arsenal is crazy, no one can stop their fast-paced passing and cutting cooperation." Okay, I've already said what I should have said, and the rest is up to you. ”

Looking at his watch, Benitez said, "Alright, let's get ready to play." ”

At this time, the referee also began to call the players to play, Benitez stood in front of the goal, and shook hands with his players one by one, although Benitez did not say a word, but the players also felt the pressure and attention of the coach from the strength of Benitez's handshake.

Outside the locker room, Chen Yu happened to meet Henry, the two had played each other in the Champions League, but they didn't expect to meet in the league now.

Henry took the initiative to nod to Chen Yu to say hello, and Chen Yu also waved his hand in response, but the friendship between the two was only superficial, Chen Yu still saw a strong fighting spirit in Henry's eyes, after all, Chen Yu ended Henry's championship dream in the Champions League last season, Henry was not convinced, and now Henry does not mind ruining Chen Yu's dream of winning the league.

Referee Wiggins saw that the players and caddies had arrived, and he and the two linesmen took the ball and headed for the pitch outside the mixed aisle.

The fans outside the stadium were already waiting impatiently, they entered the stadium almost two hours early, and even the most patient fans were a little out of breath, when they saw the players coming out of the locker room, there was a thunderous cheer, and many people crowded towards the exit of the mixed tunnel, leaning out, stretching their necks, waving their hands, and chanting the names of their favorite stars.

The on-site commentator also came in advance, he just said too many off-field words, and even pulled the scandal over and rounded it again, and when he was searching his stomach and didn't know what to say, when he saw the players coming out, he hurriedly said: "The players are out, they are out, let's check the list to see if there is any change...... Well, no, it's still the list we got, and now the players on both sides are shaking hands, exchanging flags and badges, picking sides, and the game is about to start......"

The pre-match ceremony was quickly over, and with the referee's whistle, the focus of the 31st round - the battle between the Gunners and the Reds also kicked off at Anfield.
