Arsenal is unlucky now, and the current Gunners are also full of wounded soldiers and are very distressed, which is also Arsenal's biggest enemy in the title now. Compared with Arsenal, who did not admit defeat, Liverpool kept a lot of low-key. The reality of the situation was that the Red Army also had to bow its head. They are twelve points clear of Chelsea and they are largely out of contention for the title. Therefore, the pragmatic goal of this ball is to beat the Gunners and return to the top four as soon as possible.

Although the collision between Arsenal and Liverpool is not as sparkling as Manchester United and Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea, the feud between the two teams is deep enough. The last time Liverpool were stripped of the league title was Arsenal's masterpiece, two decades ago in League One, when Zuihou beat the Reds 2-0 in a round of the Gunners, and Thomas's stoppage-time goal knocked away the trophy that the opponent had already held in his arms.

In the 2001 FA Cup final, Owen scored two goals in a row, and Liverpool reversed Arsenal to take away the trophy and achieve the feat of five crowns. In January 2007, Arsenal scored nine goals in the league and the Carabao Cup twice. But two months later, Liverpool got their revenge with a 4-1 home win over the Gunners. Last season, Arshavin became the first player in 63 years to score four away goals in the league......

Arsenal suffered a rare wave of injuries ahead of the game, with at least seven players unavailable, including Robin van Persie, Bendtner, Roski, Ebo, Klich, Gibbs and De Yoru, while Arshavin, Cesc Fabregas, Galla and Traore are also awaiting the results of Zuihou's examinations. In contrast, Liverpool are in a much better situation, with Fernando Torres, Steven Gerrard and Aquilani all available.

Going to Anfield, Arsenal have only one goal. Three points. A number of dropped the Red Army. Then Arsenal will be able to continue to cling to leaders Chelsea in the table. Arsenal are now just one point clear of Chelsea after suffering defeat in the last round, which also makes Arsenal ambitious as they look to get back to the top of the table.

In the Anfield passage to the turf, there is a famous sign that reads "This is Anfield", and every time players enter the passageway, they can always see this mark hanging there. In the days when Liverpool swept the world in the 80s, this quote was a constant reminder to the terrified visiting players: this is your hell.

The mark began in the Shankly era, when the legendary Liverpool manager of the 70s and 80s wanted to remind his players who they were playing for and who their opponents were playing against. It has almost become a tradition for many Liverpool players to raise their hands and pat the mark before entering the stadium in search of good luck.

Liverpool's home stadium is undoubtedly one of the toughest away games and the visitors are always under pressure at Anfield, both because of Liverpool's illustrious history and the fiery atmosphere. In the players' tunnel, Xiao Qing heard the song "You Will Never Walk Alone" loudly from more than 40,000 Red Army fans. Seeing that the players of the Red Army were very serious and gently patted the famous mark of football, Xiao Qing must be false if he is not shocked by the background of the giants. Although Arsenal is also a top giant, although Liverpool is indeed in decline now, this giant with a glorious history is still enough to shock, which is also a temperament that many nouveau riche teams do not have.

The two sides have met in the Carabao Cup this season, when Liverpool were knocked out of the competition after a 2-1 defeat at Arsenal with a number of substitutes fielded.

Liverpool basically lined up the strongest squad in this game, and Torres also returned to the starting lineup. Reyna held the goal, Carragher and Ager partnered in central defence, Glenn Johnson and Aurelio locked on either flank, Gerrard burst forward in midfield, Lucas and Mascherano were in the back, Kuyt and Benayoun were deployed on the flanks, and Torres was the lone striker.

Arsenal, on the other hand, have been a little bitter due to injuries, and due to the injuries of several strikers, they also have a single-striker lineup; goalkeeper Almunia; Defender line from right to left: Sagna, Galla, Vermaelen, Traore; Double-back Alexander. Song, Denilson; attacking midfielders Cesc Fabregas, Theo Walcott and Arshavin; On the forward line, it is naturally Xiao Qing.

Xiao Qing and his team-mates are ready for Arsenal to go all out to win this big game, and for them to win against Liverpool is something they must do. Arsenal have drawn one and lost one of the other two teams in the Premier League semi-finals this season, and such poor performances have made it not enough for Arsenal to compete for the league title, but they must win against Liverpool, and only by winning against strong opponents can Arsenal be more sure that they will be able to challenge for the league title.

Both teams have a reason and determination to win this game, and they care about it. At the start of the first half, both teams attacked and defended each other, and both tried to play their own style with me, but in the first ten minutes, the quality of the passes in front of both sides was average, so neither team could create a chance on goal.

However, Arsenal at home first went to the rhythm to take the lead, in the twelfth minute of the game, Liverpool played a wonderful quick counterattack, Torres midfielder received a long pass to Gerrard, Gerrard crossed at high speed on the right, Torres in the middle of the penalty area unguarded right-footed push angle is too positive, Arsenal goalkeeper Almunia reacted quickly and fell to the ground to get the ball.

However, Arsenal's crisis was not resolved, and a minute later Torres cut inside from the right and crossed, Gerrard won the ball in the middle and drove into the box, and the Gunners defender Galla collided with the Reds captain and fell to the ground, but the referee did not say anything.

The pressure on Arsenal to be put under pressure by Liverpool is a dangerous attack, and they need to be more careful and serious at this time, Arsenal cannot afford to lose this game, they must get a win at Anfield.

In the 14th minute, Cesc Fabregas took a free kick from the right side of the field, and Vermaelen's header in the middle of the penalty area went over the crossbar; It was Arsenal's first goal of the game, but it didn't seem to work very well. In the 25th minute, Glenn Johnson fired a right-footed shot from front of the penalty area, and the ball hit the Arsenal defender and went off the line. Twenty-eighth minute. Steven Gerrard shoots hard from distance in front of the box. But the ball was again blocked by the Arsenal defenders.

Liverpool could be said to have taken the initiative in the first 30 minutes of the game. In the increasingly hot atmosphere at Anfield, the Reds are getting braver and braver; The first 30 minutes of the game were quite difficult for the Gunners Arsenal, as Liverpool defended strongly in the middle and back, so it also made it difficult for Arsenal's midfield to get more chances, and they simply could not organise the team's attack.

Xiao Qing looks a little anxious now, he seems to have some nothing to do up front, because he doesn't have a good chance to get the ball at all, and he can't put enough pressure on Liverpool's defence right now. Xiao Qing is very dissatisfied with the role he is playing now, and he hopes to have a better performance in the game. He hopes to help the team win this crucial game.

So Xiao Qing began to work harder, since it is difficult to create more opportunities in the team's midfield, then Xiao Qing can retreat a little to attack with the ball, he has confidence in his feet, he needs to help the team's midfielder share the pressure, he has the ability to do this.

In the 35th minute, Cesc Fabregas stumbled and advanced the ball to the front court, and immediately encountered the joint encirclement and suppression of Liverpool's double backs, and Xiao Qing killed it when Xiaofa couldn't hold on. Lucas and Mascherano were teaming up to encircle Xiaofa, but just as they were about to cut off the ball at Xiaofa's feet, no one noticed that Xiao Qing had appeared at this time.

Six feet were fighting fiercely for the ball, but suddenly one foot popped out and poked the ball out; With the awareness of the players. Xiaofa and Liverpool's double back subconsciously want to fight for the ball, but their speed and explosiveness are obviously not as good as Xiao Qing. So at this time, in the boos of Anfield Stadium, Xiao Qing strode forward with the ball.

Xiao Qing, who caught up with the ball, suddenly pushed the ball forward for four or five meters, because of the encirclement and suppression of Xiaofa by the midfielders, which also gave Xiao Qing a good opportunity. Without any skills, just relying on his own speed, Xiao Qing was very confident at this time. The quick dribbling did not give Liverpool's midfielders a chance to chase back, Xiao Qing quickly dribbled to the penalty area and prepared to impact Liverpool's backline.

Liverpool's central defender Ager has already saved from the penalty area, and he is not timid in the face of the menacing Xiao Qing, because he has enough time to make a prediction of the card position; But just when Ager was ready to confront Xiao Qing's body, Xiao Qing stepped on the ball and suddenly braked sharply to slow down. Xiao Qing, who was almost a meter away from Ager, pushed the ball forward slightly, taking advantage of Ager's passive foot to step forward; With a slight step on the ball with his right foot, Xiao Qing, who turned 180 degrees counterclockwise, slammed the ball to the left with his fluent left foot amid the exclamations at Anfield.

"Marseille Roundabout!" Andy Gray, the famous Premier League commentator on the commentary seat, shouted, although they all knew that Xiao Qing's feet were good, but they didn't expect that Xiao Qing would be able to fluently use such a delicate jishu after such a sudden braking. This is something that almost every professional player can do, but they may not be able to play it fluently in such a small space.

Xiao Qing had no other thoughts in his heart at all, it was one thing to be beautiful, but more importantly, Xiao Qing broke through Ager at this time, this was his pursuit! It's important to look good, but it's even more important to help the team score!

Xiao Qing, who broke through Ager, quickly rushed to the penalty area, and Xiao Qing, who regained his speed, faced the defense of Liverpool's deputy Carragher; In the face of such a player with rich defensive experience, Xiao Qing was very calm, and Xiao Qing, who was dribbling the ball quickly, suddenly picked up his right foot while running with the ball. But just when everyone thought that Xiao Qing was going to suddenly shoot a cold arrow, Xiao Qing gently picked up the bottom of the ball with his right foot; To the horror of Liverpool fans, Carragher cooperated very well at this time to give up the position of the card, and he was shaken by Xiao Qing.

Xiao Qing, who caught up with the ball, didn't give Carragher who turned around a chance to make amends, and Xiao Qing, who entered the penalty area, really picked up his right foot and volleyed vigorously this time! The ball hung straight to the upper corner of the post and the crossbar, which was a theoretical dead end, and Liverpool goalkeeper Reina was also powerless, Xiao Qing scored! (To be continued......)
