The first update -

Qin Xiong decided to attend the AFC's annual awards ceremony, and he explained the matter to Arsene Wenger when he traveled to Liverpool with the team on Sunday, saying that in any case, the movement of players during the match period should be made clear to the club, which can be regarded as a leave of absence.

Arsene Wenger did not stand in the way, and it is conceivable that the Asian Footballer of the Year is the most high-profile award at the AFC's annual awards ceremony.

He reminded Qin Xiong to pay attention to reasonable time arrangement.

Liverpool's match against Arsenal is scheduled for the final match of the 15th round of the Premier League, as the highlight of the match.

Chelsea, who played a day earlier, slaughtered Charlton Athletic 4-0 away to see Chelsea level on points with Arsenal after a game in hand, but fell behind on goal difference.

There is no doubt that the pressure is on Arsenal's side and a failure to pick up points at Anfield will wipe out the advantage they built up at the start of the season.

Liverpool and Manchester are not far away, but they are two very different cities, Manchester is slightly conservative, Liverpool is much more open, from all aspects of the two cities engaged in fierce confrontation, can be called-for-tat, culture, religion, development of vertical contrast, etc., infiltrated football confrontation is not only because Liverpool and Manchester United have long been the two most successful teams in England.

Qin Xiong's arrival at Anfield made him stop and watch, Anfield was not as spectacular as Old Trafford in terms of scale, but the bright red seemed to have a unique charm.

Behind the giants of English football there is always a heritage and history that other teams envy and want.

Arsenal's Chapman made the first technical and tactical change in European football, laying the foundation for the superiority of English football in antiquity.

Old Trafford has the resilience and rebirth of the Munich air disaster. With Busby Boy's dream come true. It has the passionate spirit of Ferguson to inherit and shape the modern Red Devils.

What's in Liverpool? And what's in Anfield?

Of course!

There is the legend of Shankly's creation of the Red Army dynasty. The legend of Xiangshuai has influenced every generation of the Red Army, from the dynastic epic of Paisley to the unquenchable pain and grievances of the Heathbourg and Heysel massacres, and the Liverpudlians who rebelled against the grievances and kept The Sun out

Qin Xiong walked into Anfield, his mood was complicated, there was not only the solemn reverence, but also the fire of fighting spirit brewing in his heart.

One team, one stadium. It is not glorious and great because of the scale, but only proud of the monuments that exist or have been stored here.

Standing in the players' tunnel at Anfield in good spirits, Qin Xiong saw the famous slogan in the stadium: This is Anfield!

It seems to announce the majestic will of the Red Army shaped by Xiang Shuai, and it seems to be a warning to every challenger who comes here!

Looking at Liverpool, the Red Army with a new atmosphere in the new season, Qin Xiong was even more full of fighting spirit.

Players from both sides enter the pitch in line.

Singing echoed through the Anfield stadium and the sight of Liverpool fans holding scarves aloof and singing "You Never Walk Alone" was spectacular.

Liverpool are not only back in the Champions League this season, but also have a new manager in charge.

Spanish coach Rafael Benitez.

Coaching styles can be broadly divided into two categories.

One is to focus on the overall structure and style continuity, to create a team that is almost stable and unchanging, such as Alex Ferguson's Manchester United, under Ferguson. Manchester United have certainly made minor adjustments in the last two decades, but there has been a drastic change. Naturally, there is no such thing, it is similar to the British 442, focusing on flying on both wings, and when you think of the Red Devils Manchester United, you can think of their basic tactical style.

The other is to focus on on-field encounters, the team's technical and tactical play has changed a lot, and it is difficult to determine what the team's style is, but there are always surprising highlights in some games, such as Benitez.

In his glorious history of leading Valencia to two La Liga titles in three years and also winning the Spanish Copa del Rey and a UEFA Cup, Valencia is not static in his hands, they can sink the Galaxy battleship with a calm and calm counterattack, they can also make Super Laco bow down with enthusiasm, and they can also make Barcelona surrender in hand-to-hand combat.

This kind of coach will be known as a cup master, even if some coaches have won the cup championship, but it cannot hide the light of this kind of "cup master".

They are different from the first type of coaches who pay more attention to the dà game, the latter emphasizes more details, and they are more inclined to "no one technique and tactic can absolutely sweep the world", so the arrangement of troops is full of pertinence, and the implementation of techniques and tactics is also full of their different ideas.

There is no black and white right and wrong, the overall situation and details, of course, are important, but they have different opinions and reliance on who is important and who is light, who is the main and who is secondary, and it can be said that the two sect leaders take completely different paths.

Therefore, coaches like Ferguson and Arsene Wenger can insist on themselves to create a dream teacher in their hearts, even if they know that the odds of winning are not high at the trough, they are not willing to change the team's style, and always insist on themselves! Benitez, on the other hand, will make good use of the resources at his disposal to pursue the most tangible interests of the moment.

(Off topic: Benitez set an insane record of 99 consecutive games with different starting line-ups when he was in charge of Liverpool.) ）

What kind of tactics will Benitez have in store for Arsenal today?

"The 15th round of the Premier League will be played at Anfield! Reds Liverpool host Arsenal! The state in the league is naturally better for Arsenal, Liverpool in the new season in addition to the change of manager, there are several new players to join, in the first half of the season run-in made them pay a lot of price, the league Mo said with Arsenal, Chelsea to compete for the title, they are even lower than the bitter rival Everton's ranking, but this may be thanks to the magical Moyes, actually led Everton to play so well this season, even after the loss of Rooney.

Let's see what kind of formation Benitez put out today.

Liverpool started 451.

Goalkeeper: Dudek.

Defenders: Finnan, Carragher, Hyypia, Reese.

Midfielders: Luis Garcia, Gerrard, Hamann, Xavi Alonso, Colwill.

Forward: Baroche.

Needless to say, Arsene Wenger treated this game, and naturally all the elite soldiers were sent out.

Arsenal started 451.

Goalkeeper: Lehmann.

Defenders: Lauren, Toure, Campbell, Ashley Cole.

Midfielders: Ljungberg, Vieira, Silva, Qin Xiong, Pire.

Striker: Thierry Henry.

Arsenal, who have been unbeaten in 54 games in the Premier League, are only 4 games away from AC Milan's 58-game unbeaten record, and now all eyes of Europe are focused on Arsenal to see if they can break AC Milan's unbeaten record, today will be a challenge for Arsenal, Liverpool certainly have the fighting spirit to end Arsenal's unbeaten record, in order to announce their revival! ”

With Silva named in the starting line-up after returning from injury, Arsene Wenger was too worried about the other options and should regret letting the veteran Parlour go in the summer.

Neither Arsenal nor Liverpool played very aggressively after the opening kick-off, and the two sides were in a tentative phase.

Qin Xiong will pass the ball to Silva more often, allowing him to adapt to the rhythm of the game and speed up the pace of finding the feeling of the game.

After 10 minutes, Liverpool began to take the initiative, their midfield was played by Spanish player Alonso, Gerrard played forward, the two wide players have a good ability to attack with the ball alone, Colwill and Garcia are both wide players with relatively superior skills in the Premier League.

Arsenal also reciprocated, with Ljungberg and Piret starting to try to threaten the attack.

However, neither team had too many chances, with Liverpool lacking a top scorer who could establish themselves in the Premier League, while Arsenal faced a very tough and solid Liverpool defence.

Since the last two seasons when Genkz has been in poor form after recovering from injury as he gets older, and after Benitez fixed Carragher in the central defender position after taking charge of Anfield, Liverpool has changed from the former Harman Henkez Hyypia's 3H defensive triangle to Hamann Hyypia Carragher, the same defensive quality is convincing, and this pair of central defenders has the strength to rank in the top five in Europe! Even better defensively than Manchester United's Rio Ferdinand Silvestre. (To be continued......)
