Football’s First Defender

Every year after the New Year's schedule, the Premier League officials will have a long rest period to give the players a chance to take a breather, adjust the state of the game, and then play another round of the FA Cup before the league resumes. The game will act as a "sweep".

Some teams will continue to let the main team rest at this time and prepare for the league with all their strength, while some teams will play with all their main players to gain the opportunity to quickly enter the next round of the game.

Liverpool is naturally the team that chooses to rotate during the game.

Facing Exeter City, which is in the fourth level of the English professional league, Liverpool used a mix of substitute players and youth teams. In the "vegetable field" away game, they won a thrilling victory with a score of 2 to 1 and successfully advanced to the next level. round.

The main players are taking the time to familiarize themselves with the new tactics. Klopp wants to surprise Professor Wenger when facing the top team Arsenal.

Arsenal have found their game status in recent rounds. Although in the first game after Christmas, they lost to the "Red Army Reserve" Southampton by a score of 0 to 4 in the away game, but the team has a very strong ability to adjust. They won in the next two games, especially the 2-1 home victory over Manchester City, which is ranked third, making their current top position seem well-deserved.

Arsenal's state this season is actually quite good, and the team's championship situation is also very good.

Gunners fans are eager for the team to restore its former glory and win this season's championship while other giants are sluggish.

The league title, since the rise of rivals Chelsea in the same city, Arsenal has never had a chance to get their hands on it.

At that time, Arsenal and Manchester United were at a disadvantage in the battle between the two heroes. With the rise of Chelsea and Manchester City relying on the addition of capital, Tottenham also thrived on the youth training. When Liverpool completed their recovery, they were only the top six giants. Among them, Arsenal, the most ordinary member, seems to be getting farther and farther away from the championship and even the Champions League seat.

Originally in the new season, when the team did not invest much in the transfer window, many Gunners fans had already accepted their fate for the team's honor, and when they were simply preparing to appreciate Arsenal's offensive cooperation, the collective downturn of other traditional giants actually made Arsenal Na successfully ignited the hope of the championship.

"Buy people! Fight for the championship! Buy people! Fight for the championship! Buy people! Fight for the championship!"

After the opening of the winter window, in the Arsenal fan forums and street interviews, the two major expectations of the fans that were highlighted were to buy people quickly in the winter window to seize the opportunity and strive to win another Premier League championship.

Fans can see that Arsenal's current lineup is still too thin, and they don't have enough reserves of capable players to deal with a long season.

After all, during the season, the player's state fluctuates and uncontrolled injuries may cause a huge blow to the team's strength.

Gunners fans want the team to take out a certain "deposit" and introduce 2 to 3 capable players in the winter window. Even if it is used as an emergency, it is necessary to ensure the team's consistent combat effectiveness this season.

However, since this year is the year of the European Cup, in every major competition, for the sake of their prospects in the national team, more players are still willing to stay in a familiar environment to ensure the number of appearances and the state of the game, and will not seek The adventure of trading.

Players are not very willing to transfer, and the club is even less willing to negotiate substitutions.

After all, the winter window allows these outstanding and capable players to transfer. How can they hold the players in their hands and wait for the summer European Cup before seeking transfer deals?

After all, the European Cup and the World Cup are the stage for many players to become famous. Some clubs believe in the value of players. No matter how they perform, normal performance or poor performance, the decline in value will not be too great.

However, if he can really shine in the European Cup and have an excellent performance, then his worth will really skyrocket.

So in winter, if your wealthy team wants to "scratch the lottery ticket" in advance, it's that simple, you can either take away the liquidated damages directly, or add an extra 8 million during the negotiation to complete the premium acquisition.

And Wenger, who has always saved money, how could he make a loss-making business.

If you want me to buy it at a premium, then I won’t buy it at all. It’s also possible to add players to Arsenal’s youth training. Repairing the lineup can save money and compete for the championship. This is the most cost-effective champion. .

Anyway, don't even think about spending the money saved by Arsenal. It's what the boss is going to bring back to the United States for his son Ram. Wenger himself has no right to use a large amount of savings.

When Arsenal faced Liverpool in the away game, they used a lineup of 4231.

Wenger continued his excellent offensive and defensive tactical system this season.

The task of the back line is to try not to make mistakes, and in the front, Giroud takes the lead, acting as the high point pillar of the team, waiting for the feeding of his teammates in the penalty area.

Ozil is in the midfielder position in the middle, and leads the offense of his teammates by sending the ball to teammates who run out of opportunities in all directions, while Campbell on the left and Walcott on the right are both speed players, plus Ramsey who can go forward in the middle.

Arsenal's offensive investment in the away game may be these five people, at most plus Bellerin who advances from the wing, giving full play to his speed advantage and completing the assist pass on the left.

Although Arsenal's lineup has a very strong ability to pass from the side, it can use Giroud as the fulcrum in the game to create a great offensive threat, but the real ultimate move is still to be yourself In a defensive situation, you can play the fastest counterattack and give your opponent a fatal blow on the counterattack end.

The Liverpool side attaches great importance to this game. In terms of personnel deployment, since Arsenal's main attack direction is the wing, Klopp directly resorted to the big move he had prepared for a long time after struggling for a while. .

Jordan Ibe did not start this game, and Liverpool directly changed to a 442 lineup for this game.

Sturridge and Firmino appear together on the front line, Coutinho and Lallana are one on the left and one on the right, and in the midfield configuration, it is Henderson with strong impact and Miller. accept.

This kind of staffing is to try our best to strengthen the team's ball offensive ability in the midfield. Both forwards are good at using their running to create opportunities. Both wingers can break through in a small area and tear each other apart. The defense, and the two midfielders have a strong ability to insert long shots.

As for Liverpool's organization, the heavy responsibility of scheduling the ball was handed over to Yang Feng, who let Yang Feng do the most basic scheduling and act as an organizer in the rear.

In this game, Yang Feng will really try his achievements after several months of hard training in such a strong duel. In the game, under the pressure of Arsenal's defensive players, he will do a good job as a new ball dispatcher for Liverpool. Role……
