Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 937

"So, you must be unhappy after the game against Manchester United?!"

Reporters can ask all sorts of random questions. Zhang Yuan said the first sentence, and the reporter immediately followed up.

"Yes, not happy! If you don't sprinkle salt on the wound right now, I might feel much better!" Zhang Yuan said coldly.

Some reporters below laughed.

On the afternoon of December 12st, the Anfield stadium was full of seats. In the past, some people waved flags and shouted to tell Rodgers to leave, but now Rodgers has already left, and Liverpool’s state is still the same, and Hyypia has never been told to leave, because he was originally a temporary He is also the team's meritorious veteran.

However, when it was time to support the team, Liverpool fans came to the scene without hesitation, because the match was still against Arsenal, and the attendance rate of the stadium was of course very high. Arsenal scored two points, when will it be more if they don't step on it at this time.

"Damn it, it's really cold here!" Qian Huan wore a woolen coat outside to maintain his demeanor, but he still couldn't resist the cold weather. He couldn't help cursing England for the cold weather in his heart.

He returned to China the night before the League Cup, and before this game, he came to Liverpool specifically to watch this game. He did not go to Liverpool's away game against Manchester United, but he regretted it afterwards. See Klopp can actually take a break. Liverpool at least played their blood against Manchester United, although the result was not satisfactory.

So Qian Huan also has great expectations for this game, hoping that his team can play in a different state and win the rival Arsenal.

Sitting next to him were the top executives of Liverpool. Qian Huan was not married yet, and he had a brick and stone. The only thing his family valued about Liverpool was the brand effect, and he was the only one who really cared about the team.

Another purpose of Qian Huan's trip was that the club was going to hold a Christmas dinner, so he, the boss, had to come forward to cheer everyone up.

Degan is also sitting in the Liverpool VIP box to watch the game. He is now actively training and may be able to participate in the game in January next year, but he can't be in a hurry at the moment. His absence will actually have the greatest impact on Liverpool. Yes, last year Liverpool's performance was so good, it is definitely due to the defense led by him. However, once he is absent this year, Liverpool's defensive quality has dropped several levels, and the media has long brought up his importance.

But what's the use? If you are injured, you can't play. You can only watch from the sidelines. Degan also hopes that the team can win, and he hopes that the team can enter a normal track.

"I'm going to see Zhang Yuan today!" Digan said to himself.

"Zhang Yuan?! He won't score today!" His girlfriend Elise said provocatively.

"Haha, he's not a player of Schalke 04 now, he's already a player of Liverpool, why don't you let him go?!" Degan felt very amused, his girlfriend happened to be the one against Zhang Yuan.

At this moment, Degan doubted whether she was here to see the team joke.

"Who told him that there is only Schalke 04 in the Ruhr area?! Huh, there is only Dortmund in the Ruhr area! And you are not allowed to let him be your best man! Otherwise, we will not get married!" Elise resented Said.

"Haha!" Degan's stomach was about to burst from laughter. He knew his girlfriend very well, but he just talked about it. He remembered a time when Zhang Yuan was injured and was absent for a long time. When Degan called, Elise still Asking Degan to bring greetings, it is definitely not really a problem with Zhang Yuan, but now he is deliberately having some fun on the court.

Degan, who saw through everything, said to Elise: "I bet, he will score at least one goal today! Do you dare to bet with me, dear?!"

"Why don't you dare?!" Elise laughed loudly, "What are you betting on?!"

Digan looked at Elise bewitched, and Elise said angrily, "Can you do it?!"

Just when the young couple met to make a bet, the fans began to sing, You will never walk alone. After the singing was over, almost all the players came out of the player tunnel!
The stadium radio began to broadcast the names of the players on the field, and the fans shouted at Anfield.

Since the Red Army Liverpool also had a tight midfield, Hyypia was forced to choose a 3-back formation. This formation is not easy for Liverpool because the team has not practiced much.

Goalkeeper: Jones

Defender: Sakkos Scottel Toure

Midfielder: Henderson, Gerard, Lucas Markovic

Forward: Coutinho, Sterling, Zhang Yuan
In order to ensure his own defense, Hyypia still deliberately set up the role of a defensive midfielder in the midfield, and Gerrard and Lucas acted as guardians on the left and right.

Henderson and Markovic are in front of them, acting like wingbacks. As usual, the trident in front is Zhang Yuan in the center, Coutinho on the left, and Sterling on the right.

Arsenal Wenger took the 433 position.

Goalkeeper: Szczesny

Defender: Chambers, Mertesacker, Debussy Gibbs
Midfielder: Flamini Carasso-Chamberlain

Forward: Sanchez Weilbeck and Giroud
Arsenal's midfield was the most affected, and Ozil was absent in the frontcourt. This formation is basically a broken formation.

Arsenal is currently 7 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses. The record is not good, which is much worse than last year, but if it is not for the seamless connection after Sanchez came and played the role of the thigh, I am afraid that Arsenal's results will be even worse.

With referee Oliver's whistle, the focus of the No.17 round of the Premier League kicked off at Anfield Stadium.

For this away trip, Arsenal does not want to show weakness. If you study Arsenal's transfer history carefully, you will soon find a characteristic. Wenger is reluctant to spend money, especially on the defensive line. This year's major purchases are to strengthen the midfield, not the defense. Arsenal was a team with a relatively balanced offense and defense a long time ago, but now it can only be called a strong offense and a weak defense.

Wenger is actually very stubborn, but of course he also knows that his team is indeed strong offensively and weak defensively. In this game, he paid attention to the offense against Liverpool. Anyway, everyone's defense is not good, it depends on whose attack power Stronger, but Hyypia came prepared. The three-back system team is not familiar with, but relying on the numerical advantage in the midfield, Liverpool began to surround and press from the beginning of the game.

Arsenal's midfield was at an absolute disadvantage within a few minutes, the pass success rate was quite poor, and Liverpool was particularly good at fast-paced attacks.

Last season at Anfield Stadium, Arsenal, known for their smooth offense, was beaten by the faster Liverpool. In that game, Liverpool beat Arsenal 5:1 at home.

But in this game, Wenger obviously hasn't learned his lesson. He wanted to compete with Liverpool for the initiative on the field at the beginning of the game. It didn't take long for their scene to be tragic.

In the 7th minute, Liverpool intercepted the ball in the backcourt and played a quick counterattack. Coutinho took the ball from the left and sent a deadly through ball. Zhang Yuan succeeded in offside. Succeeded, Liverpool quickly took a 1:0 lead at home!
Zhang Yuan never thought it would be so easy to score a goal so quickly!Excitedly, he rushed to the sidelines, slid and knelt to celebrate, and slapped his chest vigorously!
In the stands, Li Jun and the others clapped vigorously for Zhang Yuan and joined the queue shouting Zhang Yuan's name. Digan stood up and applauded while looking at Elise with a smile. Elise lost so soon!

Qian Huan also forgot the cold and applauded Zhang Yuan's goal!
Wenger stood very annoyed on the sidelines, which was completely beyond his expectations. Liverpool did not feel depressed after losing to Manchester United. Hypia's targeted arrangement was obviously more skillful today, making Arsenal's midfield lose Ability to operate!

But Wenger is not reconciled, the more his team should give full play to their own advantages at such a time, the result is not as simple as he imagined, Liverpool's midfield interception efficiency is very high, and the pass success rate is also high , Due to Arsenal's disconnection in the midfield, Liverpool began to get a lot of opportunities.

Zhang Yuan’s running position is not flexible today, but Mertesacker and Debussy still have difficulty dealing with him. Mertesacker is tall, strong, physical confrontation, and has first-class ability to handle high-altitude balls, but his flexibility is greatly reduced. He is mainly responsible for filling the position. Debusch is the main force against Zhang Yuan, but he not only suffers from the confrontation with Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan is also doomed to kill him in getting rid of him!
