Chapter 208 Anfield Stadium
In other groups of the Champions League, strong teams have also qualified.
The other top three in the Premier League all qualified ahead of schedule.
In Group H, Chelsea drew 0:0 with Paris Saint-Germain after four consecutive victories in the group, and also secured the first place in the group one round ahead of schedule.
Chelsea is also very stable in the European arena. Mourinho's tactics are indeed very mature.
His style is very similar to that in Porto, but Chelsea's lineup is stronger, so it is more practical.
After Liverpool defeated Monaco this round, they also qualified for the group stage one round ahead of schedule.
The defending champion Munich 1860 team will face Monaco in the final round. If they cannot win, the defending champion will be eliminated from the group. This will also become an anecdote in the Champions League.
In the Champions League semi-finals last season, the two teams still had a lot of grievances. This game is bound to be very intense.
Manchester United's group is also thriving and has established an advantage early on.
Generally, as long as the strong teams do not enter the death group, then they are likely to have a smooth journey. The luck of the top four in the Premier League is still good.
The groups with relatively close strength this season may be Real Madrid, Leverkusen, Roma and Dynamo Kiev, but the performance of the runner-up in Serie A is disappointing. They have not won a game so far. field, only 1 point bottom.
After the end of the Champions League, Arsenal's focus has returned to the league.
Now 4 points behind Chelsea, this must be a full effort to catch up.
In the 15th round of the league, Arsenal visited Anfield to challenge Liverpool.
Liverpool used to be the overlord of England's top league, but since the establishment of the Premier League, they have not won a Premier League championship.
The best season was the 2001-2002 season. They once won five championships in the League Cup, FA Cup, UEFA Cup, Community Shield Cup and UEFA Super Cup.
However, they still inevitably have some problems in the league. They were ranked ahead of Arsenal before, but now they are 3 points behind Arsenal.
After Benitez took over this season, he brought the top midfielder Harvey Alonso. This player has brought qualitative changes to Liverpool.
After arriving in Liverpool, Arsenal were not very lucky. Vieira relapsed from his old injury when he was adapting to the field, which cast a shadow over the game.
As usual, on the evening of the 27th, a pre-match press conference was held.
Jia Yi also attended the press conference. Vieira was injured and Henry was not in a hurry to come back. Jia Yi continued to perform the duties of the captain.
"It's a tough game, but we'll still try to beat our opponents because we're four points behind the top and it's not easy to make mistakes.
Patrick's injury is not optimistic and he may miss a month, which disrupts our deployment.
However, Jia Yi's condition is still very good, which is our greatest reliance. "
Patrice continued to represent Wenger at press conferences.
The absence of Vieira is indeed a test for the team's defense.
After all, Liverpool's offensive power is not weak.
And if the opponent is fighting at home, there will definitely be a bonus to their combat effectiveness.
Benitez said: "The difficulty of the game is really great, especially against Jia Yi, which is a difficult problem for all coaches.
I will let Steven and Harvey pay attention, and hope that the two of them will work together to make Jia Yi more restricted. "
Jia Yi and Gerrard are a little sympathetic to each other. As people of the same age, they always admire each other when they talk.
"Jia Yi is a top player. His offense is intoxicating. I have studied his passing a lot, but it is still difficult to imitate. Sometimes I really want to ask him how these balls are passed. Are there eyes in the back of the head?"
As Gerald said, he immediately turned around and looked at Jia Yi.
Jia Yi laughed, leaned in front of the microphone, and said, "Steven, you can look at the back of my head."
After finishing speaking, he stretched his head over and shook it exaggeratedly.
Gerrard also looked at it pretendingly, and then said with a smile: "It's the same as us, so how did you spread it?"
Jia Yi said with a smile: "I feel it, Steven, your offensive and defensive abilities are also very good, I think you are also a top midfielder."
Later, Jia Yi changed the subject and said: "I respect Liverpool very much. They have a glorious history. Tomorrow's game will be difficult. We need to be patient and dedicate a great game to the fans!"
As the match day approached, players from both sides stepped into the Anfield stadium.
Fanatical Liverpool fans, immediately issued a huge decibel.
However, they were more tolerant towards Jia Yi, probably Jia Yi's words the night before had played a role.
Jia Yi also responded with a smile. Liverpool is worthy of sympathy. The former king has been working hard to restore its former glory.
In the time and space before the time travel, Liverpool returned to the championship. Before that, it was quite tragic.
Even in the season when the championship was lost at the last moment, Gerrard's own goal assist made Jia Yi even more impressive.
After picking sides, the game started quickly.
Liverpool, who kicked off first, was not in a hurry. They passed more balls, and the midfielders passed the ball back and forth in a slow manner.
On Arsenal's side, they are also steady and will not press the opponent.
90 minutes into the game, this is the beginning, there is no need to rush for success.
Instead, Jia Yi kept running in the frontcourt, interfering with the opponent's pass.
His running position is more targeted, in fact, the main purpose is to harass Gerrard and Alonso.
These two are the core of the team's midfield, so the ball is largely initiated from them.
Moreover, the attributes of these two people should be very high. Maybe the system will give a reminder.
Van Persie and Bergkamp also came up to cooperate and harass the two.
In away games, Bergkamp's experience will play a role.
At this time, Jia Yi suddenly fell to the ground and shoveled away Alonso's dribble.
The system prompt came as expected: "The confrontation is successful, you have stolen Alonso's stealing skill, stealing +5!"
Name: Jia Yi
Age: 24
Nationality: Chinese
Position: midfield
Speed: 89【109】
Breakthrough: 99 [109]
Shots: 99 [109]
Steals: 95 [109]
Bounce: 89 [109]
This is really interesting, it actually successfully increased the stealing ability.
As soon as Jia got up, he immediately went straight, but it was a pity that Van Persie was not ready, and the ball was taken by Dudek who was attacking.
Looking back, Liverpool continued to hold the ball, and Alonso suddenly made a long pass, and the ball hit accurately behind Arsenal's defense.
Barosh popped up, stopped the ball with his toes, and immediately shot hard!
Fortunately, Lehman reacted in time and knocked the ball away with one punch.
Alonso's passing level is indeed high.
Both goalkeepers played well this time. In this round, the two sides tied!
The coaches of the two teams also stood up. These two attacks were quite threatening, and the defense of both sides was not very focused.
This is obviously the beginning stage, which is a common problem with many teams.
This is true even for strong teams.
