Liverpool's decline in these two seasons is obvious to all. Since they were successfully revenged by AC Milan in 2007 in the Champions League final, their performance has been on a downward trend.

Finally, last season, the team's senior management exhausted their patience with Benitez after the team had no results in a season and had become the seventh in the league and had not even obtained the qualification for the Champions League.

As a result, the meritorious coach Benitez was dismissed and the new coach Hodgson took office became the most important thing for the Reds in the new season.

Speaking of Hodgson, this old coach is now quite famous in the Premier League.

Last season, Fulham, who has always been a relegation team in the Premier League last season, led the team to the finals in the new season after helping the team qualify for the Europa League last season.

In the end, in the final, Fulham, who had drained all his energy in order to get to this point, lost to La Liga powerhouse Atletico Madrid.

However, Fulham, which shines in both the league and the European League, still impressed everyone.

Even the most demanding critics have to admit that Hodgson accomplished an incredible thing.

Therefore, when the coach appeared on the roster of Liverpool's new coach, it was not surprising that the Reds players represented by Gerald also welcomed the new coach.

"I will coach a great team. Maybe she has declined a little now, but I will do my best to make him great again."

Hodgson's speech won all the support for him coaching Liverpool. The only thing he needs to look forward to is whether he can contribute to the Reds.

So, did he do it?

In the twelve rounds of the league, four wins, four draws and four losses have 16 points, which is Hodgson's current record.

Liverpool is now ranked ninth in the league, two places behind last season's final ranking of seventh in the league.

The most important thing is that in the strong battles since the start of the game, Hodgson's Red Army has never shown a convincing performance.

Today they can still enjoy extremely high exposure, which is largely related to their former glory to some extent.

Of course, it is also related to the top players who still have influence in their team.

Just the day before the game began, Gerald and Fernando Torres from Liverpool were interviewed by the media together.

The scenes of the two players talking in front of the camera and the content of the interview were soon broadcast to the fans through the media.

Judging from the ratings of the program and the hot sales of newspapers.

Obviously, although Gerald is no longer at the peak as before, Torres is no longer the way he first came to the Premier League, and their fans still love them very much.

"Feng is a very comprehensive striker. I've seen his game and he's very good."

Among them, Torres' remarks about Liu Feng were even more excited by many Chinese fans.

"Tomorrow's game is my first time playing against him, and I really want to exchange jerseys with him after the game."

It is rare that Torres has not been affected by injuries. It is a foregone conclusion that he will be included in Liverpool's starting list tomorrow. Torres, who was dubbed Toni by fans, smiled and invited Liu Feng from the air.

"Yeah, I liked him very much when I was a youth training player. It would be a great honor to be able to exchange jerseys with him."

Liu Feng quickly gave an answer from a distance before the game. He also liked players like Torres with good appearance, abilities, and character.

As for Hodgson and Wenger, their conversations before the game were much gentler than Wenger's previous speech to Tottenham.

Although it was a strong showdown, both coaches said that their teams still have a lot to learn from their opponents.

As for whether to really learn or teach your opponent a lesson, you may only have to wait until the game day to see the finals.

Fortunately, the match day is not too late.

Wenger was in a very comfortable mood when he saw the players who were ready to go in the parking lot.

During the routine selection session before this game, Wenger was very satisfied with the good condition of the players.

Liu Feng and Alshavin, Nasri, Fabregas, Alexander Song and Wilshire, six midfielders and frontcourt players each impressed the coach with their own mental and physical condition.

Krish, Vermalen, Koscheerny and Sarnia, the back line maintained the full main mode, and goalkeeper Fabiansky returned to his technique again.

After the league started several times, 433 has been ineffective, Wenger finally gave up the formation that could not maximize the characteristics of the players.

If nothing unexpected happens, 442 will become the main feature of the professor for a long time

Formation.

"Set off!"

Facing the morning light, Arsenal's bus drove out of London City, and they headed north to Liverpool City.

"Shhh~~~"

When you first entered your opponent's city, huge boos were absolutely indispensable. The Gunners, who had long been used to it, just laughed and started to have fun with each other.

“Standard welcome ceremony, isn’t it?”

“Haha, indeed.”

"Feng, how are you in?"

"Very good, what about you?"

"Just like you."

Fabregas, who were sitting together, completed the last brief conversation with Liu Feng before getting off the car, and then the two walked into the parking lot of Anfield with the team.

This is a stadium with a red atmosphere from the inside out. Liverpool's team logo, overwhelming red, and huge murderous aura. This grand away game began to stimulate everyone in the Gunners.

As a result, during the warm-up, the Arsenal players showed even more momentum.

"Okay, audiences, welcome to watch the 2010-2011 Premier League Liverpool's home match against Arsenal. I am the commentator Zhan Jun!"

As a well-known Red Army fan, almost all fans who like Zhan Jun’s commentary know this. At this moment, Zhan Jun’s excited voice also has a lot to do with his fan identity.

On one hand, there is the team I love and the players I love. This is a sweet and contradictory commentary.

"You can see that the two teams have been warmed up on the court one after another. Both sides look very good in spirit. It seems that this game is destined to be a strong showdown."

As time passed by minute by minute, the warm-up time soon ended. As both sides walked into the player channel, Zhan Jun and the fan gate in front of the TV began to think about it in their minds.
