Although the Champions League match between Liverpool and Barcelona was full of twists and turns, there were also many troubles. Fortunately, at this time, the game was finally over, and Liverpool finally got the ticket to the semi-finals smoothly after defeating themselves and withstanding the pressure.

Although Barcelona was eliminated from the Champions League, Barcelona was not dissatisfied with this, because the appearance of Liverpool and the elimination of the Champions League finally allowed Barcelona to put all their minds on the league.

At this time, Barcelona was not enough to compete for the title on two fronts, and the elimination of the Champions League suddenly made Barcelona make a choice. The Champions League is out of play, you just go and fight for the league title.

It seems that it is really a bit difficult for the luxurious first-generation Galaxy Battleship to win the La Liga title this season, at least you have to ask your sworn rival Barcelona if she agrees. Not to mention, the successful promotion of the Champions League also distracted Real Madrid.

At this time, the list of the top four of the Champions League has come out, and Real Madrid beat Arsenal with its powerful attack power after two legs. With a score of 4:2, Arsenal was undoubtedly eliminated, and began to put all his thoughts on the league.

AC Milan and Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich Munich. Nihe's smash was full of heat and drama, or because the game was too hot, with each side scoring a goal on their own home turf, and the two sides ended up in a brutal penalty shoot-out. In the penalty shoot-out, Kahn did very well, saving Shepchenko's shot. But compared to the opponent Brazilian Dida, it looks unshiny.

In the penalty shootout, Brazilian Dida draws. The wind blocked Bayern Munich's three penalties, a bit of the flavor of Santo's back then.

In the match of the other pair, Manchester United won the game with a fine . Cai's performance told everyone that he was the boss of England, and in the end, with Giggs's two-goal explosion and Scholes's long-range shot, Manchester United finally eliminated National Milan with a score of 3:1.

When George learned that Inter Mila had been eliminated, he couldn't help but feel a . Silk lost. It's not that George likes Inter, so he felt a bit of a loss after learning that Inter Milan had been eliminated.

The reason why George was lost was entirely because Inter Milan was eliminated. bureau, I lost the opportunity to report. I have to say that George is really a vengeful master, and until this time, George still wants revenge, especially Materazzi, who has been included in his lifelong enemy and persona non grata list.

Materazzi's "treatment" of George almost made George mourn. Lost his career. This matter will not be easily forgotten by anyone, let alone George, the master of grudges.

The Final Four are produced, the Final Four. A contest between them also arises. This time there was no civil war in England and Liverpool did not face Manchester United. Manchester United faced Serie A giants AC Milan, while Liverpool faced Real Madrid, who have the strongest attack in the world.

However, these are all afterthoughts, and Liverpool has not considered these things, because in the English League, Liverpool is about to face a strong opponent, that is, Arsenal, who were eliminated by Real Madrid.

Manchester United because of the involvement of the Champions League, Manchester United not only wants to compete for the Champions League trophy, but also is unwilling to give up the idea of the league title, and has been trying its best to catch up with Arsenal and Liverpool, giving the two teams a lot of pressure.

However, it is clear that there are not eleven Lampard or Nedved in the Manchester United team, because the two competitions have greatly depleted the physical energy of Manchester United players, and they can no longer keep up with the pace of the game.

No, in the last round of the league, Manchester United finally received a catastrophic blow due to physical overdraft. They were knocked out of the cup by Tottenham Hotspur and humiliated by the Magpies led by Shearer in the league.

At this time, Manchester United are four points away from Arsenal and seven points away from Liverpool. Although in theory, Manchester United still have a chance to win the title, if nothing else, Manchester United has almost no chance in the league.

And for this situation, Manchester United is also very clear, and began to deliberately abandon the league, seemingly ready to devote all their energy to the Champions League game.

Therefore, Manchester United sent a lot of substitutes in this round to give the main players as much time as possible to recover from the next energy. This time, though, Manchester United's opponents are powerhouse Chelsea. With Manchester United's substitute lineup, I believe that on the road, Manchester United will also lose more and win less.

Therefore, it can be said that this year's English League began when Manchester United sent most of their substitutes to Chelsea away and announced their withdrawal from the league race. The title of the English League this season can be completely declared a battle between Arsenal and Liverpool.

It can be said that this time Liverpool and Arsenal met, it was definitely a game that no one could afford to lose.

Arsenal have been eliminated from the Champions League, so Arsenal can only focus on the league. The game against Liverpool can be said to be a six-point game, the victory over Liverpool, the two sides are on the same running line, if you lose the game, then you will be farther and farther away from Liverpool, then naturally you will be farther and farther away from the championship.

Arsene Wenger, who is very aware of this, said firmly in an interview before the game: "We Arsenal must not lose this game, after all, this game is too important for our Arsenal. ”

Of course, Liverpool also know the importance of this game, no, even Playboy Reese, who has recently stopped going on with his nightlife and is starting to recuperate.

Although Liverpool is also fighting in a connection, Lao Bei also intended to give up a competition and strive for a championship. However, in the face of such a good situation, Lao Bei himself is somewhat unwilling, he can get the great cause of the double crown, and it is also the league and the Champions League, the heaviest championship for a club, Lao Bei is naturally eager to get.

Lao Beidu thinks so, and then George, these players, think even so. Although Lao Bei also asked everyone to propose, which event to give up. At the most important point, with the insistence of the players and the all-out competition in both competitions, this proposal is the heaviest and the most important is not enough.

Thankfully, though, there weren't any major physical problems with the Liverpool players. Reese and Smitchell returned from injury in time, but also got some rest due to injury, and there were no fitness problems.

On the back line, the goalkeeper's Dudek has almost no need to consider the physical problem, after all, the goalkeeper's position is the least physical consumption. Carragher and Hyypia are still the most comfortable two-back combination for everyone. There were no major physical problems either. But then again, even if there is a physical problem with the two, Lao Bei will definitely continue to arrange for the two to play, after all, in the Liverpool team, in the position of central defender, there is really no one else who can reassure Lao Bei.

In the midfield, Colwill and Alonso are a little unable to keep up with their physical fitness, but the breakthrough and passing of the two are still competent. Gerrard has always appeared in front of the world with a constant running and full of physical energy, so after a year, Gerrard's physical fitness has not had any problems.

As for Hamann, he was physically exhausted, but fortunately Smitchell returned in time to recuperate from an injury, and in terms of fitness, no one needs to worry.

On the front line, George, needless to say, naturally has nothing to do. Owen can't do it, but there is Husky, who can be trusted in terms of role and experience, so Liverpool has no problem up front.

In order to be in the Champions League, the next leg against Real Madrid, and against Arsenal, Lao Bei decided to let Husky and George form Liverpool's forward line after thinking twice.

Let Owen rest and recover for a while. After all, Real Madrid's offense is very strong, but the defensive aspect is not matched with his offensive strength at all, Owen, who has sufficient physical energy, can tear apart Real Madrid's already not very good backline with his own degree.

At the pre-match press conference, there was no highlight and news, for this game that means six points for both teams, whether it is Wenger or Lao Bei, they are all sworn to ensure that they must go all out to win this game.

As for the final result of this game, no one knows for sure before the game, and it can only be said that the team will be able to score this crucial six points in this crucial game, depending on the player's swing in the game.

"I don't believe I can say the importance of this game, everyone understands it. If you still want to win the league title this season, then this game, we have to win it, remember to win this game, win the opponent, even if it's a draw. ”

Back in the locker room, Lao Bei continued his last pre-war mobilization.

"I'm sure everyone is familiar with the Arsenal team, so I'm not too lazy to talk nonsense, I'm just here to tell you a few things to pay attention to."

"First, you can't give the opponent any chance to take a free kick, especially in dangerous areas, and you must be careful when defending. After all, the free-kicks of Bergkamp and Thierry Henry are still very sharp. ”

"Second, Arsenal is in a similar situation to Liverpool, and it is also a formation of two backs and two forwards, so while attacking, try to avoid breaking through the middle, preferably from the wing."

"Thirdly, Arsenal's backline, whether it is Sigan or Campbell, is a tall and strong defender. Therefore, the high-altitude bombing against Barcelona last time was not needed, and it was done in time, and I believe that there is no big threat to Arsenal's goal. Therefore, everyone tried to play ground attack as much as possible, pass the ball as much as possible, and tear apart the opponent's defense. At the same time, Sigan and Campbell are slower to turn around for their own reasons, which George has to take advantage of. Of course, high-altitude bombing is also possible if there is an opportunity. ”

Hearing Lao Bei's reminder, George nodded to show that he understood. George is no stranger to this, after all, in the previous games against Arsenal, George used the fact that Sigan and Campbell were slow to turn to create chances for his teammates or score goals himself.

"Fourth, whether it's Toure or Ashley. Cole, both of them belong to the forward assist type fullbacks, so everyone must pay attention to the forward insertion of these two, while preventing the opponent's forward assist, you can also take advantage of the gap left after the two forward insertion. ”

"Fifth, that is Arsenal's goalkeeper, this German Lehmann, from his body does not show a trace of German rigor at all. This guy is a typical unforgiving master, so in the game, everyone directly ignores this guy's sarcasm, and don't make yourself irrational because of the other party's provocation. ”

"Okay, that's probably it, do you all understand?" After speaking, Lao Bei looked at everyone and asked loudly.

Regarding Lao Bei's inquiry, everyone shook their heads and said that there was no problem.

"OK~ Since everyone has no problems, let's get ready to enter. Kids, for the sake of victory, for the sake of champions, go and fight. ”

Under the gaze of Lao Bei, George was the first to stand up, open the goal of the locker room, and walked towards the players' tunnel. Behind George are other Liverpool players.

Although the game has not officially started, or perhaps because the game is serious for both sides, Highbury Stadium is packed, with nearly 40,000 seats filled with Liverpool and Arsenal fans.

Although the game was an away match for Liverpool, because of its importance, Liverpool fans also came to support their team by nearly 2,000 people, gathered in a stand, ignoring the provocations of Arsenal fans and singing Liverpool's team anthem loudly.

Because of the importance of the game, or because of the nearly 2,000 Liverpool fans who came to the scene, the police in the city of London were also on standby, with at least more than 100 riot police officers in the stadium, and many patrol officers outside Highbury Stadium on standby, ready to deal with any possible bloodshed and clashes.

It was only after Liverpool had waited quietly for five minutes in the tunnel that the Arsenal players appeared. However, because of the importance of this game, both sides did not chat, just quietly waited for the game to start. For a moment, the atmosphere in the players' tunnel seemed very depressing.

"Ok~ gentlemen, let's get in." The referee of this law enforcement match looked at his watch and said to the players of both sides behind him when the time was about the same.

"Okay, the players from both sides have entered the stadium, and who will have the last laugh in this game will wait and see."

Because of the importance of this game, many big names came to the scene, and even the coach of the England national team, Christian Eriksen, also came to the scene. Clearly, the Swede is ready to take a look at England's players in this game in preparation for next year's European Championships.

However, all this has nothing to do with the twenty-two people in the venue, and when they enter the venue, the first thing that starts is the introduction ceremony of the program office.

"The greatest master of art on the football field, Dennis from the Netherlands. Bergkamp !! There is no doubt that the popularity of the Dutch at Highbury Stadium is still very high, and when the commentator introduced the Dutchman, the entire Highbury Stadium burst into a deafening applause.

Uh~ Of course, it wasn't exactly applause, there were boos among them, but it was masked by the huge applause of the home fans. Needless to say, these boos at Highbury Stadium to Bergkamp were naturally the Liverpool fans at the scene.

"Forever leaking a little bit from Thierry, romantic France. Henry! Thierry Henry's popularity is clearly not below that of the Dutchman, and over the course of a few seasons, the Frenchman's rapid growth has led to him being dubbed the future king of Arsenal by Arsenal fans.

"Also from romantic France, a great world-class midfielder who has accumulated both attack and defence, the captain of the great Arsenal Patrick. Vieira. ”

Although Vieira is very unlikeable, it is only for those other than Arsenal fans, in the eyes of Arsenal fans, the Frenchman is the god of Highbury Stadium, the spiritual pillar of Arsenal.

As the commentator explained the Arsenal players one by one, each player received a tsunami of applause and cheers.

When the Arsenal players were introduced and the Liverpool players were introduced, there was a huge boo at Highbury Stadium, although the more than 2,000 Liverpool fans in the stadium broke their throats and clapped their hands, wanting to support their team and their favorite players. But when the disparity in numbers is too great, the applause and cheers of Liverpool fans can only be muffled by the boos in the sky.

However, the Liverpool players were also used to the situation and were not disturbed too much, and when the commentator introduced the names of both sides, George and Vieira came to the half-time penalty circle, stood in front of the referee, and exchanged team flags and sidelines in the next life.

"It's a big fight, I'm going to give it my all for the win, for the championship." When George and Vieira exchanged flags, George heard Vieira say what seemed to be talking to himself. Although it may seem that Vieira is talking to himself, George understands that Vieira is speaking to himself.

George is not a fool, naturally knows what Vieira means when he says this, Vieira said this to show that he will do his best in this game, and when the time comes, he will definitely tackle and scramble fiercely, so that he can be careful so as not to get injured.

Of course, or Vieira said this, he also deliberately wanted to scare George, so that George would be worried and scared, and he would not be able to let go of his hand during the game, so that Liverpool's offensive power would be greatly reduced.

However, George, especially Vieira, was scared by two or three sentences, although George knew that since Vieira was in such a crucial game and said so, then in the game, Vieira would definitely do the same. But that wasn't enough to worry and scare George.

"Again, I'm going to give my best for this fight." Looking at Vieira and smiling, George said with a firm expression.

Looking at George, who had a determined face, Vieira didn't say anything. But from Vieira's eyes, George had already seen Vieira's crazy, terrifying fighting spirit.

In the end, Arsenal won the penalty right, and in the referee's whistle and the cheers of the fans, Liverpool vs. Arsenal, a game that was enough to determine the end of the English League this season, officially began.
