As the players of the two teams led the ball boys into the field, the entire stadium was instantly filled with the noise caused by the fans of the two teams. The camera quickly captured the players of the two teams, and the faces of each player appeared.
On the big screen, cheers rang out, and the fans of Liverpool and Arsenal were completely pumped up and roared like a wave of sound.
"It's started, it's started, I'm so looking forward to it. There is no doubt that, as Rush said, this final is a match between a pair of perfect opponents. Let's see what kind of results the two teams will bring to us.
It’s a feast for the eyes.”
"Well, okay, the game is about to start. I believe the fans have already seen the lineups of the two teams. On my Liverpool side, the goalkeeper is: Reina. On the back line, it is their strongest lineup: Finnan, Carla.
Ge, Hyypia, Riise.
Midfielder, Gerrard, Alonso, Sissoko, phew, Stephen is going to face Xiao. I'm so excited. What kind of sparks will the two players collide with? You know they were two different players before the game.
Not very 'friendly', I appreciate Stephen's fighting spirit."
"Huh? There are three in the midfield, so Rafael will be sent up front. Cisse Kewell and Crouch. This is really a crazy gamble. Will this game be a confrontation?
"
"I think this is unlikely. Raphael will not fly the offensive flag at the beginning of the game. Countless games this season have proven that Liverpool's main offensive card is not worth the gain. Not only is the offense weak, but also repeatedly succeeded by the opponent's counterattack.
Especially when facing an opponent like Arsenal, once they are hit by a counterattack, it will be difficult for them to be lucky."
Without the slightest hesitation, Matthew immediately denied Wright's questioning remarks. As a professional commentator, he did not believe that tactician Benitez would be so confident.
"Not bad. According to the lineup given by Rafael, I think he is using the Christmas tree formation. Kewell is coming off the injured list, so Rafael has an all-around midfielder who can lead, pass and shoot. Although he is injured
There are many illnesses, but his speed will not reimburse him.
As for Cisse, his fast speed will definitely be a weapon for counterattacks, and it is definitely suitable to play the role of a back-up behind Cratchit."
"Yes, as for Liverpool's midfield trio. There is no doubt that they are the best midfield partner now. Gerrard and Sissoko's interception, Gerrard and Alonso's long-distance quick play
The ball. The perfect cooperation, the physical strength of Riise and Finnan allows them to intervene at high speed at any stage of the game. Moreover, their assist power has gradually emerged in the past two seasons. It has to be said that Rafael will use the cards in his hand.
It was used to the extreme in tactics, which is awesome.”
"Well, Rafael made a beautiful move. Now it depends on how Wenger will deal with it. Let's first take a look at Arsenal's current lineup. It is still the familiar 442.
Goalkeeper: Lehmann, Defenders: Eboue, Toure, Campbell, Ashley Cole. Well, actually this season, Arsenal’s left back is Flamini for most of the season. Except for the first one or two games, the rest are
Time, his performance can fully compete for the best left back.
Of course, there is no doubt that Ashley Cole is sent in. Ashley's ability is undoubtedly higher, and he has rested for such a long time. For a championship-level player, this will definitely make him explode.
Strong energy, this is what Arsenal needs and what England needs."
When Matthew saw Ashley appearing on the list, he couldn't help but frowned, but he quickly found the footnote.
"Midfielder, haha, Arsenal have too many people who can go out. Let's see who is the lucky one. Haha, as expected, Arsenal has used the lineup for one season. Hleb, Silva,
Cesc Fabregas, as well as Xiao, there is no doubt that Adams guessed correctly, Wenger still put Xiao in the midfield.
On the forward line, Thierry is the obvious choice. Liverpool defenders should be careful, and Robin, this erratic player, will give people a different feeling."
"Although Wenger's formation is quite satisfactory, he will always have players who have changed a lot. In the past, although Bergkamp was nominally a forward, he was more like a midfielder, providing support for Thierry and Ljungberg.
, Pires delivers the ball, not to mention Thierry, switching positions between left winger and center.
Now Xiao is even more extreme. He shuttles back and forth freely in the midfield and frontcourt. The whole team adapts to his rhythm. Past games have completely proved this. Wenger has completely unleashed Xiao's unparalleled talent, so everything must be done in the game.
Really see what Wenger's arrangement is like."
Although the 433 he predicted did not appear, Matthew did not admit that his prediction was inaccurate. On the contrary, once encountering a stalemate and falling behind, Matthew believed that Wenger would definitely put on the occasionally impressive lineup, the one that has always shown off.
The magical Xiao is the leader, with two superstars who have been converted from wingers to centers as the auxiliary wing lineup.
"Stephen, I'm sorry, I can't lose either, oh, be gentle, you can't hurt me now."
"That's what I think, Xiao, be careful."
Holding Xiao Ge was not enough, so Gerald simply hugged Xiao Ge again and gave him a few hard blows.
"Cough cough cough"
"Damn bastard, phew, I almost got killed by this guy."
"Haha, Xiao, don't be gay, it's very dangerous, haha."
"It looks like you and Cesc."
After shaking hands, Xiao Ge returned to his own half and saw Fan Persie teasing him. Xiao Ge said something back to him angrily.
"Don't say that, actually I still like you better, haha."
Flirting with his head, Van Persie did not forget to make a disgusting laugh. After the tempering of the season, Van Persie has transformed into a quite mature person, and successively helping the team win in key games has also made him more calm and confident.
"Get out of here, you guy."
Xiao Ge was annoyed by this guy and pushed him. For the two of them, this game was more of motivation than pressure. Xiao Ge had no way out because he had already agreed.
As for Van Persie, the ignorant are fearless. Compared with Xiao Ge, he is a real young man, and his energy is definitely not inferior to that of Xiao Ge. Moreover, he has won three championships in a row, and his energy will only become stronger. As long as he plays well in the game, it will be enough.
Well, in fact, it is not only Van Persie who has this idea, but also other young people in the Arsenal team. They believe that they are invincible, believe that they can achieve all honors, and have a calm mind without losing aggressiveness. This is the benefit that champions bring to young people.
"Okay, stop making trouble, Robin, get ready."
Seeing that Webb was about to blow the whistle for the game, Henry called Van Persie over. Compared to the two of them, who were somewhat relaxed, Henry looked much more stable, standing on the court like a strong pine, calm and composed.
Qi Zhou took a look at the overall distribution of his team members. For these veterans who have won many championships, they seem more comfortable in such a game, but it is also easier to enter the game state.
"Phew, let's start, Stephen."
Henry took the lead in getting the ball for Arsenal. Seeing that his teammates were already in good positions, Xiao Ge also returned to his left wing, facing Gerrard from a distance. In this game, Xiao Ge directly faced him.
, feeling the sharp gaze of the other party locked on him, the red and erect body, the vigor, as if being attacked by a lion, "Am I the prey?", the fire in Xiao Ge's heart was stirred up again, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but draw
A hint of arc: I must not lose this game, because it will be very painful.
"drop--"
"e——on,Arsenal!!!"
As Weber's whistle blew, the cheers at Millennium Stadium reached its peak, and the waves of air poured down in the stands like a torrent, shaking everyone's heart.
Arsenal took the lead in attacking. Robin van Persie pushed the ball into the backcourt. Crouch, a tall man, was not slow in his steps and made strides to grab the ball. Cisse and Kewell also inserted directly into the ribs of Arsenal's midfield to force the ball.
They can also steal, and Gerrard's three midfielders are also embedded in the 'mouthpiece' of Arsenal's forward line. Liverpool showed high-quality position selection from the beginning. It can be imagined that Liverpool's defensive training before the game
strict.
Fabregas just got the ball, and Cisse had already pounced on him. Fabregas did not make the first choice to break through. He flicked the ball with the outside of his foot and sent the ball to Toure's feet. He quickly moved up and stood up and down with Silva.
Xiao Ge and Hleb have also fallen into their respective positions, and Arsenal's formation has also been drawn up immediately.
Toure saw the tall Crouch standing in front of him. He moved the ball horizontally and sent the ball to the left first. Ashley Cole got the ball. There was no one in front of him. He decisively took the ball and rushed in. Assen
Na's formation moved forward quickly. Cisse and Arsenal were roaming on the left wing and did not let Ashley Cole carry the ball for long and immediately caught up with him.
Seeing Cisse following him, Ashley Cole lost the space to cut inside, and without too much entanglement, he moved his left foot and passed the ball directly to Cesc Fabregas who came over from the right.
During the duel between Spaniards, Alonso followed Fabregas all the way, staring closely at him and putting his elbow on his waist.
Although Fabregas was one step faster and received the ball first, the pressure from his fellow countrymen behind him could not allow him to turn around and leave easily. After all, he is a genius full of aura. Fabregas did not stop the ball at all and ran
His body didn't even pause, his right foot followed directly, changing the path of the ball instantly.
