Chapter 321 The Red Army Attacks
After successfully winning Chelsea and reaching the quarterfinals of the League Cup, Zhang Xu threw this game behind him. Now, for Arsenal, the most important thing is still the league.≧
And the next league opponent is a tough guy - Liverpool!
Liverpool Footba11?c1ub, abbreviation LIV or LFc), is an English Football Club located in the port city of Liverpool in Merseyside, northwest England. It was established on March 15, 1892 and is home to Anfield Stadium.
Liverpool has won 18 top league titles in England, 7 FA Cup, 8 UEFA Cup, 5 UEFA Champions League titles and 3 UEFA Champions League titles. They have also established members for the disbanded G-14. They are one of the most successful giant champion teams in England and European football history.
2o12 On May 16, Liverpool's team announced the termination of the contract with Darglish. On June 1, 2o12, Liverpool termination of the contract with Darglish, invited 39-year-old former Swansea coach Brenda Rodgers as the team leader. The arrival of Rogers, who advocates ground organization and ball control, has changed Liverpool's previous style of defensive counterattack, with an average ball possession rate of nearly 60% per game.
The leader Brenda Rodgers prefers to use young players and technical players. Many youth team players have been promoted to the first team and even have opportunities to play under him, such as Andre Westdam, Raheem Sterling and Martin Kelly.
In addition, several young and skilled players have been signed, such as Daniel Sturric, Coutinho, Minhole, Aspas, Ilori and Alberto, which has greatly increased Liverpool's strength in the front and back courts. Moreover, the average age of the players is only 22 years old, making it one of the "youngest" clubs in Europe.
The Liverpool Club badge is based on the Liverpool city symbol - Liverbird, where the Liverbird is placed in a shield.
Above the shield is the club's representative Shankley gate and the famous team song "You will never walk alone (you\'11nevera1ka1one)".
The Liverpool Club's team song is "you\'11nevera1ka1one". The song originated from a Broadway musical "carouse1" composed by Richard Rodgers and lyrics by Oscar Hamster (II), which was later included in their album by Liverpool musician Gerry & Thepacemakers. Since the 1960s, the song has been sung in unison at Anfield Stadium.
Wenger could not ignore such a standard giant team. He began to conduct targeted tactical drills before the game. During the game, he arranged the most reasonable and strong lineup based on the team's injuries and physical condition.
The double midfielder formation is still 3-2-3-2: the goalkeeper is No. 1 Szesni; the defender is No. 3-Sania, No. 4-Murtsack, No. 6-Koscheerney; the back is No. 18 Zhang Xuhe No. 8-Arteta, the midfield is No. 16-Ramzi, No. 11-Ozil and No. 19-Caszorla; the forward is No. 12-Girou and No. 14-Walcott.
Fermulen, Gibbs, Rosieki, and Ben Turner were all on the bench.
If you don’t have to worry about any physical fitness and injury in this lineup, then it’s naturally Zhang Xu. The physical fitness with a full attribute, coupled with the passive skill that cannot run, makes Zhang Xu no longer have to worry about physical energy consumption.
Since the beginning of this season, there have been 19 games of all sizes, and other players of the team have gradually experienced some physical problems, namely, Zhang Xu, whose body is as strong as ever when the team doctor was examined.
Among Liverpool, there is a player Wenger has a headache about, he is No. 7 Suarez, a powerful striker known as the "Su God".
Luisa 1bertosuarez was born on January 24, 1987 in Salto, Uruguayan football player and plays as a striker. Suarez started his career at Uruguayan National Football Club. In 2oo6 years, he transferred to Groningen Football Club in the Eredivisie. In 2oo7 years, he joined Ajax Football Club in the Eredivisie. In the following three and a half years, he won the Golden Boot Award and Dutch Football Master.
In the same year, he was selected for the Uruguay national team for the first time. In 2O1o, he participated in the South African World Cup and scored three goals, and also helped Uruguay to enter the semi-finals. In 2O11, he joined the British Liverpool Football Club. In the same year, he led the Uruguay team to the 43rd Cup of America and was elected the best player. In 2O13, Suarez won the British Golden Boot Award and the European Golden Boot Award.
Suarez dribbled and had first-class shooting skills. He can serve as a center and move on the sidelines of the frontcourt. He is a rare all-round attacker. In addition to breaking through and shooting, Suarez can also deliver shells to his teammates. In the Uruguay national team, Suarez and Fran are the team's regular forwards.
Although Suarez is strong, his weakness is also very obvious. Suarez's weakness is that he is not fast enough and lacks rhythm and explosive power when dribbling.
Wenger can do more work to address this weakness. Zhang Xu is first-class in terms of his defensive ability. If he is guarding Suarez, he can completely block his opponent.
So before this game, Wenger handed over the task of marking Suarez to Zhang Xu, and Ozil was the only one who took the offensive organization.
Of course, if Zhang Xu still has the rest of his strength, he can naturally participate in the team's offensive organization.
At 5:30 pm on November 2, 2o13, a focus match in the 10 round of the 2o13/14 English Football League was held at the Emirates Stadium, with Arsenal playing against Liverpool at home.
