"Stephen - our British man, destroy them, destroy them!"
"Alonso beat them, beat them!"
"Riise, tell them! What is power football!"
"Cisse, Cisse, goal, goal!"
"Raphael (Benitez) we want a championship, we want a championship, give us a championship!!!"
...
Liverpool were the first to arrive at the Millennium Stadium. When the players got off the bus, the cheers of the Red Army fans accompanied their heroes as they followed the stadium for a long time.
And Benitez, who helped the Red Army dominate the European Champions League again last year, is their biggest motivation for making noise, not only because he is the coach and their hero of glory, but also because in his heart, this staged the biggest reversal in the history of the Champions League.
Their coach is their biggest reliance in this game. This is also the situation Liverpool has been facing in the 2005-06 season.
"Phew, Liverpool have entered the stadium, and it seems that the game time is not far away. Now let's invite our two guests, our Ian Wright, and Ian Rush.
Our two Ians can be regarded as the most successful strikers of Arsenal and Liverpool in the past, and they can also be regarded as a rivalry between players of the same era. They are also representatives of the two clubs today, and they are also my colleagues now. Come on, let’s talk to you first.
Say hello to the fans and tell us what you think about this game."
"Hi, fans, it's a pleasure to meet you again. I'm the Ian you're familiar with..., oh? Haha." ("Hi, fans, it's a pleasure to meet you again. I'm the Ian you're familiar with.
..., Oh? Haha.")
"Haha, Adams did it on purpose, right, but both Ians are very active and don't give in to each other. It seems that we really made the right decision by inviting them here. I think this also indicates the future of this game.
"
"Oh. I'm really sorry, haha, but I think this is what all fans are looking forward to. These two teams have a large number of fans. It's not good for anyone to give in, but there is always someone who speaks first. Wright, look at how eager you are to try.
, okay then. Rush, I think you should come first."
Hearing Adams' "malicious" quote, Rush and Wright couldn't wait to speak. After retiring, they were already familiar with the life of critics, so they were not polite. Besides, they were really looking forward to this game, so they made a fuss.
Long. elicited good-natured laughter from those present.
Rush and Wright also stopped embarrassed. They looked at each other and smiled. For them, the confrontation on the court was not as good as the sympathy they had off the court, not to mention that they had been away from the court for many years.
Adams deliberately created a relaxed atmosphere, deliberately watching Wright pause his tone and then snap back, making him amused. Rush ignored Wright's aggrieved look and spoke with a proud smile.
"Haha. Thanks to Adams, when Liverpool eliminated Chelsea and entered the final. I was looking forward to this game. Just as I thought, the London Hammers could not resist the British guns. Arsenal and Liverpool met in the final as scheduled.
.
I think this game is more in line with the expectations of the fans. The best team at this stage and the best team in the past, and Liverpool's performance in many finals, I believe they will not make this game boring. The fans are looking forward to it.
As they stage the Miracle of Istanbul again.
A strong showdown not only depends on the comparison of strength between the two sides, but more importantly, the showdown of will. In this aspect, Liverpool undoubtedly performed better than Arsenal."
"I appreciate Liverpool's performance in Istanbul last year, but Arsenal is not AC Milan. It can be said that Arsenal is unstoppable this season. I don't think any team has ever won a victory with Arsenal leading the game and pulling off a win."
What, you must know that Arsenal has not lost a game since 2006. If Arsenal had not suffered too many injuries, West Brom would not have become that lucky team.
According to the current state of Arsenal, once any team is played by Arsenal at their own pace, I think it will be too difficult for the opponent to come back. Moreover, Arsenal does not need to change their tactics in this game. The game will soon be over.
Be incorporated into the way they are accustomed to.”
"I think nothing is fixed in the game. Arsenal's personnel are very well-organized now, but Liverpool's strength is far superior to West Brom's, and their ability to fight hard is one of the best."
"The problem is, Arsenal won't give them a chance."
"No need, Liverpool will make arrangements for them. There is no doubt that each team has its own special mission on the field."
"I think no matter how strict Liverpool's deployment is, Arsenal will eventually get their own opportunities, and it is a fact that Liverpool's forwards are not in a good position."
"In the midfield, Liverpool's midfield will help them gain the advantage."
...
With each other facing each other, the two Ians began to argue without giving in, like a debate.
"Haha, what a wonderful debate. I think you expressed the voices of the fans of both teams. However, we did a lot of homework before the game and collected a lot of opinions to form a relatively consistent view from the outside world. Of course, this is relatively
It's unanimous, Mr. Ian, let's see if we have any special opinions first. Come on, Matthew will talk about the situation of the two teams first."
Seeing that Wright and Matthew were about to stage a "big battle" on the spot, Adams quickly turned the topic to "outsiders" analysis of the two teams.
Looking at the time, it was almost time. Matthew nodded and could only put away his eagerness to see Arsenal and said: "Since Liverpool arrived first, let's first see what the outside world has to say about them.
of.
Well, Liverpool's performance in the league this season is better than last year, and in many cases they have continued their will and quality last year, but it is obvious that they have not improved their problem this season - forward goals.
This season, Liverpool has only scored 57 goals in the league, which is the fewest among the top four in the league and 15 goals less than third-placed Manchester United. The forward problem has been plaguing Liverpool this season.
Fortunately, Cisse seemed to be affected by the World Cup and began to exert his strength. He scored five goals in the last seven rounds. This gave Liverpool fans some hope, but what Liverpool can really rely on is their defense.
On the back line, they have Finnan, Carragher, Hyypia, and Riise. There is no doubt that this is the most tenacious defense line in the entire Premier League. This season, they have only scored 25 goals.
Conceded two fewer goals than Arsenal, ranking behind Chelsea. However, you must know that in many games, Chelsea has a huge advantage on the scene, while Liverpool does not have such a big advantage.
Physical confrontation is their strength. Once entangled with them, it will be difficult for any team member to take advantage. They have keen judgment, timely positioning, and their speed is not bad. There is no doubt that they are the strongest line of defense.
In offense, they are long-range turrets. They all have excellent long-range shots and the ability to compete for set pieces. This is their advantage and poses a great danger to their opponents. However, in terms of assists from fullbacks, they are far behind.
, I think Liverpool's defenders will seize every opportunity to take set pieces.
In the midfield, Liverpool, with Gerrard and Alonso, is both offensive and defensive. Although they do not have a technical midfielder with strong ability to drive the ball forward, their ability to switch from defense to offense is extraordinary and can ensure
Before the opponent had time to react, they sent the ball to the frontcourt to complete the attack.
Of course, the existence of Gerrard and his tough style can ensure Liverpool's impact on the opponent's midfield and backfield. Once Liverpool takes control of the ball, they can ignore the lack of scoring ability of the forwards and have many
As long-range shooting masters, they are fully capable of catching their opponents off guard.
In this game, most people are not optimistic that Liverpool will have an advantage on the field, but their tenacious style will help them. Wonderful long-range shots and tough high ball competitions should be indispensable. Maybe Liverpool will give us a passionate game."
"Well, indeed, the midfielder may be the difference between the two teams, especially in the middle. From this aspect, the gap between Arsenal is not small.
Compared with Cesc Fabregas and Silva, compared with Gerrard and Alonso, Liverpool's interception ability far exceeds that of Arsenal's midfield pair. Once they fall into a stalemate, Liverpool's confrontation ability and tenacious style
The market occupies a great advantage.
Arsenal is likely to be faced with the dilemma of withdrawing Xiao to maintain smooth flow in the middle. This will affect the efficiency of Arsenal's offense. I think the midfield will become an important game idea for Liverpool, whether it is on the left or the right, Xiao
This game is unlikely to be all about attacking, which is what Liverpool will pursue."
Adams agreed with Matthew's views and also expressed his prediction for this game.
"Haha, no, regarding Xiao, I have some bold opinions today. I don't agree with you Adams. What I even want to say is that Xiao is likely to be pushed to the forward line. Arsenal may play a 433 formation and let Thierry go first.
At the front, Xiao and Robin were on two sides
Wing cruising, coupled with the cooperation of the three, compressed Liverpool's defense to the maximum, forcing the opponent to pull the midfielder back. This also gave Cesc a better space to play the ball in the midfield. Arthur will
Choose to take the initiative of the game into your own hands."
Everyone has their own opinions on this powerful final, and Matthew is not surprised. Xiao Ge is also a topic, and Adams is also on the topic.
"Maybe, but I think Xiao's freedom will be more effective in the midfield. This season we have seen Xiao directly break through the opponent's defense in the middle many times. In such a competition, Arsenal is not
I will give up this strategy. I think it is more in line with Arsenal's overall balance to keep Xiao in the middle to contain the opponent's midfield. Moreover, Thierry needs a relatively large space on the left. The two of them pulling each other are the most deadly thing for Arsenal.
Weapons, you two, what do you think?"
He and Matthew also had different opinions. Adams also wanted to help, and asked the question to Wright and Rush. Now the topic about Xiao Ge is definitely the center of attention. Looking at Matthew's determined look, Adams also wants to see it.
