"Doodoo-"

"This is Wembley Stadium and now it's the League Cup final for the 10/11 season. The final was between Liverpool and Arsenal. Both teams have not won a title in years, and this is their best chance to break the title-free run. ”

'Arsenal had just played Barcelona in the knockout stages of the Champions League, and although they won at home to Barcelona, they injured their number one star Cesc Fabregas. Five days later, they have to play the Carabao Cup final, which is a lot of burden for them. And Liverpool has no Champions League tasks this year, so there are no problems in terms of physical strength. ”

Arsenal haven't won the Champions League since '06. Arsene Wenger has been under a lot of pressure in recent years. The same is true for Liverpool, who have not seen a champion in years. After Benitez left, he couldn't even get a Champions League place. Therefore, both sides attach great importance to this League Cup final, hoping to win this title and start the clarion call for revival.

"John, I'm recommending a good head coach."

For England's two old giants, although the League Cup has low gold content, it is definitely hoped to get in their hands. After all, no matter how bad it is, it is still a champion.

Rist is familiar with Arsene Wenger but doesn't have much of a relationship with the Arsenal hierarchy. So Rist was and John. Henry sat together. Rist is also very concerned about this game, because Rister wants Simeone to play at Liverpool. If he wins this League Cup, it will be a good start for him at Liverpool.

Rist had high hopes for Simeone. The first decade of European football was the stage for Jose Mourinho, Rafael Benitez and Carlo Ancelotti, and Rist is hoping to introduce another great coach in the next decade. That's Simeone.

"It's amazing."

John. Henry smiled. John. Henry was indeed delighted. Because he has just taken over Liverpool, Liverpool's results have been outstanding. Simeone leads Liverpool to fourth place in the Premier League, holding down clubs such as Arsenal, Tottenham and Southampton. And the lead is still huge. The chances of securing a Champions League place next season are very high.

And they went all the way to the final of the English League Cup. Although the final result will not be known until the end of the match with Arsenal, the current results are still in the field. Henry was already very satisfied. His original idea was to use more than two years to give Liverpool a chance to regain a Champions League spot. But now it seems that Liverpool will have no problem playing in the Champions League next season.

"The Champions League is a cornucopia. As long as the group qualifies, it is estimated that 40 million euros is a certainty. If the results are a little better, fifty or sixty million euros is not a problem. ”

"Yes. More income than I thought I would. ”

John. Before Henry bought Liverpool, he had actually done a detailed investigation. But after really getting into Liverpool. He just found out about the football club. In particular, Premier League clubs have a high income, and there are really many places to make money.

Liverpool currently earn around £43 million in matchday revenue and more than £80 million in commercial revenue. In addition, according to Liverpool's current league results, the league broadcast revenue is around 60 million pounds. The revenue for the season is estimated at more than £180 million. In euros, it would be more than 200 million. This amounted to more than 230 million euros.

This is still the case when Liverpool have no Champions League income. If Liverpool can play in the Champions League. Liverpool's income will definitely increase a lot by then. At 2670 million euros, it is not a problem at all. This kind of income is far more than that of John. Henry's plan.

What's more. Playing in the Champions League can greatly improve the commercial development of the team. Liverpool can now have more than 80 million pounds of business income, all thanks to Liverpool's achievements that year. If Liverpool can play in the Champions League now, and do as well as they did five or six years ago, it wouldn't be a problem to break £100 million in commercial revenue.

"Wilshere, Wilshere accelerates. Wilshere's ball touch was so good that Gerrard tripped Wilshere. The referee gave Gerrard a warning. The nineteen-year-old Wilshere's ability to handle the ball is definitely the best among any English player. ”

Arsenal have been in poor form lately, with one of the biggest problems being Cesc Fabregas' injury. Cesc Fabregas did not play in this game and was on the bench. Because Wenger didn't dare to take any chances, if it weren't for the Carabao Cup final, Wenger wouldn't even have put Cesc Fabregas on the bench. Because his injuries weren't quite healed yet.

But Arsenal fans have the next talent to be touted. That was Wilshere, who was only nineteen years old, and Wilshere was doing very well. Although he has only just played in the Arsenal first team this season, he is not stage frightened at all. Dare to take the ball, dare to break through.

"Press it up, press it up."

Unlike Arsene Wenger, Simeone is a more passionate coach. Seeing that the situation was controlled by Arsenal, he immediately stepped forward to let Liverpool press up to grab the ball. Arsenal are strong on the ball because of their style.

However, the Arsenal midfielders who played in this game were not very strong. The midfield is a combination of Denilson, Alexander Song and Wilshere, and the front three are Cazorla, Kalou and Van Persie. Compared to the attacking strength of the front, the players in the midfield are really not very good. Simeone therefore asked the Liverpool players to press forward, especially to Arsenal's midfielders.

"Alexander Song, he gave the ball to Denilson. Denelson took two steps forward and Vidal came up. Denilson turns to protect the ball! ”

Arsenal's auspicious trio, Denilson's talent was the best. Although Diaby claims to be Vieira's successor, he flirts with nurses in his hospital bed every day and has no time to play. Alexander Song's technique is relatively rough, and Denilson is completely one heaven and one underground.

But his development was not going well. Because his position clashes with Cesc Fabregas's, he can only drop back as a midfielder. And since he became a midfielder, he has been too abrasive with the ball in midfield. This time it was the same, I took two steps forward with the ball, and when I saw Vidal's defense, I didn't want to give the ball to someone else early. Rather, it turned around and began to protect the ball from midfield.

Denelson's technique is good. After he protected the ball, he was ready to turn and break through again. It's a pity that he overestimated himself too much and underestimated Vidal too much. He was just about to make a turn, but Vidal from behind him stretched out his foot and broke the ball. Even Arsene Wenger couldn't bear to look at him on the sidelines, and Denelson was so hilarious.

"Denilson, Denilson conceded in midfield. Denilson didn't know what to think in midfield, and what was the use of this goal in the midfield, even if it was past Vidal. It's better to hand it over to Song in the back early. ”

"Vidal, Vidal's speed is good. Vidal. Pass the ball to Royce! ”

A break in midfield is always the best chance to counter-attack. Vidal after breaking Denilson's ball. He immediately took two steps forward and handed the ball to Royce. Simeone's Liverpool style of play is a bit peculiar.

Normally, Liverpool look like 4-4-2. It's a forward combination of Lewandowski and Reus, but Reus's position is alive. He usually plays on the left side. When attacking, he looks like a striker. But when he came to the left, he became a left winger. Anyway, the formation in the front court is very flexible. Roig is like a free man up front.

This time Royce was up front. After receiving the ball from Vidal, he didn't turn hard because there was a defender behind him. Turn around with the ball with your back. It's not his forte, he's not a real center after all. So he handed the ball to Lewandowski and immediately turned and ran over himself.

"Reuss, give the ball to Lewandowski. Lewandowski, a beautiful two-on-two combination! ”

Lewandowski faced Reuss' pass and did not turn, but gently passed the ball back with the outside instep. Just in time to complete a beautiful two-to-two with Royce. Both Vermaelen and Juru were shaken off by their wall-to-wall cooperation.

"Juru, he's completely out of position. He was supposed to defend Royce, but after Royce turned and ran, he didn't keep up with Royce. It's not just a beautiful one-on-two hit, it's a beautiful anti-offside. ”

"Royg, Roig's speed is so fast. Vermaelen has given up defending against Lewandowski and is going to come over to make up for it. Royce, pass! ”

Although Vermaelen wanted to come over to make up for it, it was too late. Reuss has already formed a single knife, and with Reus's speed, the Arsenal backline simply can't catch up with him. Szczesny had already abandoned the goal, but when Reus saw Szczesny coming out, he immediately gently knocked the ball to the right and handed it to Lewandowski, who was following up.

"Empty door, empty door. Szczesny came out, Vermaelen went over to make up for it, and there was no one on Lewandowski's side. It's an empty door, a completely empty door. ”

"Lewandowski, shoot!"

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！”

"Lewandowski, Lewandowski! Robert Lewandowski has been Liverpool's top scorer this season and has now scored 21 goals for Liverpool in all competitions. The 22-year-old Lewandowski is currently one of the Premier League's best goalscorers. ”

Reus's passing was so good that nothing else was needed for Lewandowski. All you have to do is kick the ball into the goal, which is simply too simple for a goalscorer like Lewandowski.

'Cesc Fabregas's injury has affected Arsenal too much. Arsenal had just played in the Champions League five days ago, while Liverpool were not bound by the Champions League. Liverpool, refreshed, look more dominant than Arsenal. Arsenal's midfielders were very flustered in the face of Vidal, Gerrard and Lucas, and couldn't control the ball at all. ”

What an advantage. Originally, Wenger had long been disappointed in Denilson, if it weren't for Cesc Fabregas's injury, how could Wenger use Denilson, a big fool.

Denilson is too sticky in midfield but doesn't have the sheer pace to get away from opponents. is on the spot relying on his excellent skills to get rid of the opponent, but unfortunately the technology is not as good as the classical forward Riquelme. Facing a player like Vidal who is more fierce and has good defensive skills, he was directly cut off the ball. It also caused the goal to be conceded this time.

Wenger looked at Cesc Fabregas, who was sitting on the bench, and frowned. The pressure on Arsene Wenger has increased this season, with Liverpool squeezing out of the top four in the league by a strong rise, and now falling behind in the Carabao Cup final. For Arsenal, which is currently in a very bad financial situation, once it misses the Champions League, the financial pressure will not be a little bit. In order to make up for the financial hole, Wenger will have to sell players to get by. If it gets to that point, it's really a vicious circle.

"Denilson, Vidal again. Denilson, the referee blows the whistle. Denilson can't continue like this, and if it weren't for the referee's suspicion that Vidal was fouling, it would be a good counter-attacking opportunity. Denelson's sticky ball is too good. ”

Another dribble with the ball, grinding and grinding, was broken by Vidal. It's just that Vidal bumped into Denilson and was awarded a foul by the referee. But even then, Denelson was flustered. (To be continued......)
