Chapter 1168: with the gunman
Everton lost, but it can be regarded as a defeat, in the game, they once forced Liverpool to be helpless, if it were not for Chen Yu's power, Liverpool can win this game is not daring to say. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although defeat is still the opinion of the outside world, Everton boss David Moyes was full of shame and annoyance after the game.
Moyes couldn't accept such a result after swearing before the game, and at the press conference, Moyes was furious, from the opponent to the referee, from the fans to the players, he made him criticize.
To be fair, today's referee Webber is biased towards Everton in terms of law enforcement, this is Liverpool's home stadium, Webber is definitely under a lot of pressure to enforce the law like this, but he still has not won the favor of Moyes, it can be said that Zhu Bajie looks in the mirror - the two sides are not people.
As the winner, Benitez laughed at the complaints of the young coach Moyes, just like he did to Mourinho, but Chen Yu, who was present at the press conference at the same time, did not show his generosity like Benitez, he was scarred by Everton's players, of course, he did not have this mood, he lightly mocked Moyes and said, "There may be many reasons for failure, but there is only one reason for victory, and that is that we played too well." “
Chen Yu has just won the reputation of the world footballer, which media does not want to take advantage of Chen Yu to hype, now the opportunity has come, in the newspaper the next day, in addition to reporting Chen Yu's goal, his sarcastic words about Moyes have also been repeatedly interpreted by major media, trying to cause a war of words between Chen Yu and Moyes.
However, Moyes realized that he had lost his temper after the game the next day, and remained silent in the face of media hype, Chen Yu was in an emotional entanglement, and he was not in that mood, the media could not provoke the fire of the two, and with the arrival of the later game, there was no interest.
Liverpool won the derby, Manchester United also defeated Villa without suspense, the two teams continue to be in the first and second places with a one-point gap, Liverpool has the initiative, but the league is not over yet, there are still six games left, every game is critical, which game is not good may affect the final championship.
Liverpool's disadvantage is to play the FA Cup, Manchester United's disadvantage is the final six games, they have two strong opponents, Chelsea and Arsenal, while Liverpool only have one strong opponent Arsenal.
In the 33rd round of the league, Liverpool's opponent is Arsenal, Arsenal has basically withdrawn from the competition for the league title, because Arsenal has to play Manchester United in the 34th round, Arsenal, which cannot become the champion, has become an important weight to determine the ownership of the championship. With Arsenal's quality, no matter which side they want to intercept, it will be enough for Manchester United and Liverpool to drink.
But Liverpool are in more trouble now, they are in trouble with Arsenal, after playing Arsenal in the league, then in the Champions League and Arsenal in the quarter-finals, after the Champions League, then in the FA Cup, Cardiff City, and then Arsenal, four games are played in two weeks, which is a great test of Liverpool's fitness and will.
Arsenal is sandwiched between Manchester United and Liverpool, the situation is so sensitive, they don't want to cause trouble, manager Arsene Wenger instructed the Gunners' players not to be interviewed by the media before the end of the game, he himself only said once before the game about this game, Wenger is very slippery, although the current Arsenal is only theoretically possible, but after all, there is still a possibility, Wenger said that Arsenal will not give up, football is round, anything can happen, don't look at the current Arsenal is 8 points behind the top of the table, But if they can beat Liverpool and Manchester United in a row, Arsenal will be able to narrow the gap with the top of the table to within two games, with four games left, it is not impossible for Liverpool and Manchester United to lose two, once this small probability event happens, then Arsenal's opportunity will come, and finally Wenger also vowed that "as long as there is a one percent possibility, he and Arsenal will do 100 per cent effort."
Of course, Wenger will not really be so whimsical, but he can only express his position like this, and only in this way can it be possible to avoid some unnecessary saliva in the confrontation with Liverpool and Manchester United.
The game is played at Arsenal's home stadium, the two teams are old teammates, whether it is the Champions League, the league or the cup, the two teams have a lot of opportunities to meet, and they are so familiar with each other that they don't need to make any preparations, and they are directly pulled over to play.
Due to the next match with Liverpool in the Champions League, Arsenal did not send all the main forces in this game, they sent half of the main force and half of the substitutes, but Liverpool did not dare to be as casual as Arsenal, they discharged all the main forces, Chen Yu, Gerrard, Alonso, Carragher The four cores all appeared.
Arsenal are a team team, they don't rely on superstars to win, they send a mix of main players and substitutes, but their fighting power has not decreased too much, and Wenger did not want to win today, just wanted to consume Liverpool and prepare for the Champions League in midweek.
After the opening, Arsenal played very fiercely, and adopted a full-court pressing tactic against Liverpool, not giving Liverpool the opportunity to organize calmly, and after breaking the ball, they did not consider the number of counterattacks, so they launched a counterattack at the fastest speed, forcing Liverpool to quickly return to defense, and consuming the physical energy of Liverpool players.
Liverpool's generals thought that Arsenal might give up the league, and also considered the possibility of Arsenal and their hard fight, but they didn't expect Arsenal to use this way to consume themselves, Arsenal's players are young, the FA Cup is out early, and the league has little hope, the physical fitness is very good, and the cooperation is very tacit, two or three feet against the wall can pour the ball out of the crowd, and it is difficult for Liverpool to use foul tactics to prevent Arsenal's counterattack.
Now Liverpool is in a dilemma, of course they can win with all their might, and they will win more and lose less in the face of the all-main Arsenal, but judging from Arsenal's momentum today, it will definitely cost a lot to win Arsenal, which is very unfavorable for the Champions League game in midweek; Liverpool can also save its strength, play defensive counterattacks, win if you can, and get a point if you can't win, but Manchester United's opponent in this round is Middlesbrough, and if Liverpool can't win, it is very likely to be overtaken by Manchester United.
Although Manchester United still has to play Arsenal and Chelsea later, who can guarantee that Arsenal and Chelsea will go all out without any hope of winning the title, so no matter what, in order to take their fate into their own hands, Liverpool must win this game, as for the Champions League, after all, there are two knockout rounds, and if they can't win the Champions League game in midweek, they can wait for the second leg to turn the tables.
After some entanglement, Liverpool no longer started at both ends of the rat and launched an all-out attack on Arsenal, playing fast and hitting hard, striving for the first goal and scoring quickly.
Arsenal's strength is not as good as Liverpool, but they are fighting at home, there are tens of thousands of fans cheering for them, which is very exciting for young players, especially substitute players, like Arsenal and Liverpool's game, under normal circumstances, there is no chance to start, now God-given opportunity, the substitute players on the field are very eager to perform, they play very actively, and their performance on the field is not worse than the main players, Liverpool began to attack with all their strength after 25 minutes in the first half, After attacking for 20 minutes, he didn't take advantage of anything, Chen Yu and Gerrard each had a chance to shoot, Chen Yu shot from a distance, the ball flew out against the post, and Gerrard's header was saved by goalkeeper Almunia with one palm.
Arsenal didn't look like they were playing lively, but they didn't have many chances on goal, only two shots in the entire first half, Bendtner's header was ridiculously wide, and Cesc Fabregas's rebound startled Liverpool goalkeeper Reina.
Neither side made any adjustments at half-time, and the two sides continued to play a fast-paced game in the second half.
In the cheers of the fans, Arsenal's performance is still brave, even in the face of the main force of Liverpool, it does not suffer much, and even gives Liverpool a counterattack from time to time, which makes Liverpool scramble and a little embarrassed.
There was no goal in the first half, Benitez was not in a hurry, at the Emirates Stadium, even if it was Arsenal as a semi-substitute, it was not something that could be bullied casually, and he played ten minutes in the second half without scoring, Benitez couldn't sit still, he came to the sidelines, kept waving his arms, let the players press forward, and loudly pointed out the players' runs.
Benitez ran to the sidelines to direct did not play much, Arsenal played too well today, by no means worse than the whole main force on the field, and Liverpool played not well today, and the luck was not very good, the score of 0:0 is a more real reflection of the performance of both sides on the field.
Sixty minutes came in a blink of an eye, Benitez didn't dare to wait any longer, there was no time to wait any longer, he quickly let Crouch and Vollenin warm up, ready to pull Chen Yu back, go to the three forwards, and give it a go.
At this time, Benitez has no other way, it has been consumed a lot of physical energy by Arsenal's players, and if he can't win the game, it will be a big loss.
Five minutes later, Liverpool replaced two midfielders with two strikers, Crouch and Wallen, and Chen Yu retreated to the forward position and played a 4213 formation.
Not to mention, substitutions are like changing knives, this sentence is indeed not nonsense, after Wallening and Crouch played, the two-meter-and-two-meter-tall Crouch top in the Arsenal penalty area is like a lighthouse, Wallening and Kuyt are constantly attacking on both sides, Chen Yu is waiting for an opportunity in the middle, which has brought a lot of trouble to Arsenal's defense, especially Crouch, the height advantage is too obvious, after the ball is passed to the penalty area, as long as it is not a two-person package, Crouch can always grab the landing point, and Crouch grabs the landing point is nothing, But his header is too dangerous, you know, Chen Yuke is hovering at the edge of the penalty area, and when he ferries to Chen Yu, it may be a very threatening shot.
Crouch and Volenin played for five minutes, Chen Yu has already had two shots on goal, this efficiency is very high, and now the game has only been 75 minutes, according to this efficiency, it is very difficult for Arsenal to keep the goal open.
