Football’s First Defender

With the end of this final, the Liverpool fans who came to the scene reveled with the Liverpool players who stayed on the field. The honor of a cup championship is also very satisfying for today's kops.

As for the "King" Dalglish, it is better to be able to win a championship honor as the head coach by himself, and to be left empty-handed after the season.

Although it was not disclosed to the players, after a secret discussion with the club management, Dalglish is still planning to leave after the season, so that a more energetic coach who can lead tactical changes will come to Liverpool.

However, in order not to affect the team's preparations for the second half of the league, this decision has not been announced, but Liverpool's management is already secretly looking for a coach who can bring changes to Liverpool.

With the championship in the account, Dalglish, who is known for his strict military management, also rarely gave the players a day off, so that the players can relax and fully enjoy the joy of winning the championship.

And on the rest day of the team, Dalglish, who came to the club to deal with some affairs, saw Yang Feng, his good brothers Suarez and Henderson appearing on the team's training ground. Still doing personal training every day.

"Young! How nice!"

At this age, it is extremely rare to be able to calm down, concentrate on training, and improve your football skills.

Not to mention, these three are already the absolute main players of Liverpool this season. It should be said that the sense of crisis and urgency should not be as great as that of the substitute players, but their training attitude and self-consciousness are obviously better than many players. The substitute players who want to go up are more correct.

"I have only one suggestion for the team. No matter who the coach is, Yang Feng, Suarez, and Henderson must be retained. This is Liverpool's future hope."

"Combining the addition of a player like Gerrard with strength, experience and a sense of honor, I believe the future of the team can be even better..."

At the management meeting, Dalglish made a formal proposal to the team to retain the current core.

Tactical reform is possible, but we must not give up the good seedlings that the team already has. If the new coach comes, and then cleans the players and finds the right players, then Liverpool may be in a period of turmoil for a longer period of time, let alone being able to compete in the league. , A threat to old rival Manchester United.

After a few days of recuperation, Liverpool will usher in the last game of the league's devil schedule, a direct confrontation with four rivals Arsenal.

In the first round of the match between the two sides this season, Liverpool won the final victory 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium, so in this duel, Liverpool players actually have a certain psychological advantage.

However, before the game, there was a major change in Liverpool's lineup. Due to the team captain Gerrard's strain during training, he will definitely not be able to play in this key game.

This is definitely a huge loss to Liverpool's offensive strength.

The bad news for Liverpool is not over yet. In the warm-up before the game, right back Glenn Johnson suddenly sprained his ankle and was also unable to play in this game. Losing two generals in a row also cast a shadow over Liverpool's prospects for this game.

Before the game, Dalglish had to passively change his previous starting lineup. After losing Gerrard, the core of the midfield attack, and Glenn Johnson, the most important advancing point on the right, Liverpool's overall offense was doomed. Take it down a notch.

Dalglish could only choose to change on the spot and put Carroll on the bench. Although it was a home game, after losing two players who played a big role in the offensive end, Dalglish could only adjust the ball. Team, make defensive changes.

On the back line, the young Martin Kelly was used to play the right back position. We don't ask him for merit, but ask him for nothing.

The task of attacking or counterattacking is all left to Jose Enrique and Downing on the left. Martin Kelly's defense on the right is a particularly important contribution.

5 In the midfield configuration, Dalglish uses the more energetic and impactful Spearing to play in the forward position of the center, and wants to rely on Spilling to rush on the offensive end.

The two wingers, of course, are Downing, Dirk, Charlie Adam and Henderson, who are given greater defensive tasks in this game.

The forward striker is still the most threatening Suarez.

With Suarez's return to defense, it can be guaranteed that the team has enough running ability when defending halftime, and it can be limited back and forth to Arsenal.

For Yang Feng, the biggest threat to the opponent's attack in this game is of course the lone forward Van Persie who needs to be dealt with by Yang Feng himself!

So far this season, the Dutchman Van Persie has scored more than 20 goals for Arsenal in various competitions, which is the strongest point on Arsenal's front line.

Thanks to Arsenal's rich reserves of offensive creative players in the midfield, Van Persie can always get excellent opportunities to hit the goal in the hinterland of the opponent's penalty area during the game.

Dalglish also knew that if he relied on the team's midfield to completely limit Arsenal's gorgeous midfield attack, it would be better to pin their hopes on Yang Feng, who could use his personal defensive ability to completely lock Arsenal's most important scoring points.

Arsenal this season is, as always, a slow-heating team.

Professor Wenger still needs to do a good job of integrating the team in the first half of the league. After all, some very important players have been sold and many new players have been replaced. Of course, Arsenal's team cooperation will take time to adapt.

But when it comes to the second half of the league, when the team has formed combat effectiveness after half a season of running-in, and when it comes to the final four in the league and reaching the Champions League, in order to have a large amount of Champions League bonus next season, Arsenal will A huge fighting power broke out.

In the case of Liverpool's previous two rounds of victory, and because of the lack of one round in the Carabao Cup final, Arsenal, which was far behind Liverpool and Chelsea before, used a wave of three consecutive league victories to smooth the gap between the three teams.

Now, the three teams have 46 points together, ranking fourth to sixth. The battle for the fourth place is bloody and tragic. The three giants cannot tolerate mistakes.

The direct match between Arsenal and Liverpool in this game is a 6-point game. If Liverpool wins, they can reopen the gap in the score with one game less. On the contrary, after Arsenal wins, they will grab the fourth. absolute priority.

In this game, Professor Wenger also played with all the main players.

Forward Van Persie is mainly responsible for offense, the four offensive players in the midfield, Benayoun, Rosicky, Walcott, and Arteta who is in charge of organization and mobilization.

Alexander Song is a defensive midfielder, responsible for Arsenal's defensive tasks after highlighting the offense.

The two full-backs on the left, Gibbs and Sagna, can also participate in the team's offense and enhance the ability to break through the wing.

The central defender is Vermaelen and Koscielny. The two have complementary characteristics, and their recent defensive performance can also be said to be excellent.

Behind them is the Polish goalkeeper Szczesny.

Arsenal doesn't care how Liverpool's lineup changes. Wenger came to Anfield for this game. Arsenal's style is to attack. Even if they face Liverpool, in order to compete for four, they must use offense to kill Liverpool.
