Chapter 146: Aggressive Liverpool
The afterglow of Arsenal's Champions League victory has not yet passed, and the new league challenge has come to an end. There is no way. The schedule has only three days apart from the match between Schalke 04 and the match between the Reds Liverpool.
After a day's vacation, Arsenal will resume training in just two days before heading to the away game to challenge Liverpool, which is in full swing in the second half of the season.
If the focus of the entire Premier League is on Chelsea led by Mourinho and Arsenal of Wenger, then the Reds can be said to be the one who makes a fortune the most. They firmly occupy the third place in the league without showing off the mountains and leaking waters.
From the end of the winter break to the current showdown, they have maintained a record of winning all the time. The team's lineup has gradually matured, and the inheritance of several consecutive coaches has completely moved upward when they came to Rogers' hands.
In the forward position, Suarez is the main one, and the trident combination formed by Sturridge and Sterling and him has broken through the opponent's goal in ten consecutive games.
The midfield support players behind them also performed very well. With Coutinho who was slowly honed as the core, Gerald, who was getting older, and Henderson's flexible and flexible approach, this is the best combination Rogers found.
In addition, there are still Albert on the bench in the front and midfielders. Joe Allen, who has a low reputation but is actually strong, have performed very well in several substitute appearances.
The defense line may be the biggest problem for the Reds today, but their defense is definitely not a piece of paper. With veterans like Scotter and Kloture, and speed-type full-backs like Ali Sissoko, their performance in defense is also remarkable.
Although Miniole is not a goalkeeper in terms of goalkeeper position, as the Reds goalkeeper, his performance has been stable and outstanding this season.
Faced with such an opponent, Arsenal had to make targeted arrangements in preparation.
Although the team had just finished playing Schalke 04, the good news is that this duel consumes much less for the team than the professor expected. After all, in the second half of the game, the Arsenal players had turned into a half-vacation mode, and several substitutes also found their form.
During the two days of the team's training, Giroud's injury finally passed the team doctor's approval to announce a complete recovery and recovery training.
Although this French big center cannot appear on the court on time, just returning to the team has brought a huge improvement in the team's morale. After all, this optimistic man is an indispensable member of the team's atmosphere.
Therefore, after the two days of training, the professor looked at the players in front of him and it was still very difficult to make a choice. After all, everyone was in good condition.
Then, considering the factors that are about to go to the away game, he finally chose a 442 formation. Advance, attack, retreat or defense depends on what state their opponent Liverpool is in to adjust.
"We will play 442 in tomorrow's game, and Bordosky and Feng will serve as the double striker."
A big center and a shadow striker approached the libero in the frontcourt. Both positions are very clear. Bordosky attracts firepower, and Liu Feng interspersed to seek opportunities and played the role of the team's counterattack accelerator.
"learn!"
Both players responded to the professor's expectant eyes very seriously, and then the professor turned his gaze to the sitting midfielders.
The Gunners have rich choices in the left and right wing forwards and middle lane combinations, and often select soldiers and generals based on the characteristics of their opponents. When facing the Liverpool team, which is full of energy and likes to constantly attack their opponents, they are naturally mainly young and energetic players.
"Left and left and right forwards, Neymar, James."
Brazilian genius Neymar and Colombian genius J Ronaldo have such a bold choice, undoubtedly because of Jamez's performance after appearing on the bench in the last game. After all, nothing can impress himself more than his performance in the game.
"Middle lane combination, Wilshire, Gansuo."
Well, after several laps of his eyes, the professors from the Arsenal team still chose the Gunners' most tacit and impactful midfield combination.
Ramsey, who was standing aside, could only lower his head helplessly. He could only continue to wait for opportunities on the bench. In fact, his strength is enough, but unfortunately, sometimes when there is two choices, someone has to sacrifice.
"Four defenders, Alba, Mertesacker, Vermalen, Alves, goalkeeper Szczesny."
In the combination of back and goalkeeper, Arsenal's steady four-man starts again, and the goalkeeper is also a perfect goal. After all, Liverpool's offensive cannot be underestimated this season, and there is no problem with such a choice.
"Other players who have made the roster include..."
After the start was announced, the bench player was the Gunners' bench, and Giroud, Ramsey, Rosici and others who had appeared on the Gunners' championship were all on the bench.
If this game needs to compete for the bench strength of both sides at the end, then Arsenal can definitely top it with a huge advantage.
"Tomorrow's game is not easy. The opponents are waiting for their home games, and we have just experienced an expedition, but I don't think this is our excuse. I hope to see each of you perform on the court tomorrow."
"I understand! BOSS!"
In response to the professor's words loudly, each team member's eyes were not exhausted, but everyone was eager to try.
"Okay, disband now, and continue to gather here tomorrow morning."
"learn!"
Scattered around, London is not even a distance from Liverpool, and the team does not need to go to the opponent's home court one day in advance. The Gunners still have half a day to conduct the final tactical exercise.
On the verge of day, after all the players continued to gather at the training base, the team conducted a drill on the 442 most likely to be lined up by Liverpool. Finally, after dining at the training base, everyone boarded the bus to Liverpool.
The road was bumpy, and when the players were all drowsy, the loud roar gradually sounded in their ears really made the Gunners' players feel instantly energetic.
"Good guy, it seems that we are quite unpopular~"
"Haha, I think so."
Looking out from the car window, countless banners and flags were swaying, with huge roars and booing filled his ears. Anfield fans gave Arsenal the first wave of direct greetings with their most eager "welcome".
