Chapter 1450 Only Liverpool Dare
Although Martin O'Neill was very worried about the reserve team playing in the League Cup and FA Cup, he had to admit that Chen Yingxiong's method provided the team with a lot of convenience.

The biggest contribution is naturally to avoid the team's two-line battle and exhaustion.Not to mention the physical consumption, it also greatly increases the chance of injury.

Take a look at the first game against Reading. If the first-team players go up, they can easily win the game, but they might anger Reading and cause injuries to the players.For Liverpool's first team, which is destined to fight on multiple fronts, any player is a treasure.

No one can hurt.

So in any case, the reserve team has helped the first team a lot and relieved the pressure on the first team.Even if a reserve team player is injured, it is better than a first team player being injured.

For example, now, it will be a league match with Arsenal. If the first team suffered one or two injuries in the previous League Cup, Martin O'Neill would have a headache.

Now with the help of the reserve team, the Liverpool first team can challenge Arsenal away with the most complete lineup.And they didn't play in the League Cup in the middle of the week, so their physical strength is not a problem at all.

Unlike Arsenal, although Arsenal also sent some youth team and reserve team players, half of the first team players also participated in the League Cup.

When Liverpool first started to implement this model, there were other teams who wanted to follow suit.Because everyone thinks that this is a good thing that can not only train the reserve team, but also allow the first team to get more rest.

But many teams just started to implement this model, and found that it didn't work at all.For Liverpool, it is a bright road, but for other teams it is a dead end.

Because they don't have Chen Yingxiong.The reason why the reserve team was able to win the championship was due to Chen Yingxiong.And only those in the Liverpool reserve team know that Chen Yingxiong's greatest use to the reserve team is not just reflected on the pitch.

Without the most key figures, their reserve team may be able to break into the third, fourth, or even fifth round, but the championship is very far away.

Unless they don't want the championship, they just want to use it to train the reserve team and the youth team.

But which team needs to rotate, needs to rest the first team, and needs to let the reserve team accumulate experience, which is not a giant team eager to win the championship?Those dick teams may not be able to get official troops.

This becomes a paradox.

In the end, there are very few teams that can really stick to it and use the reserve team.

Only Liverpool can succeed.

※ ※ ※

In the last League Cup, Arsenal, like Liverpool, played away, but their opponents were much stronger than Birmingham.

Their opponent is Everton.

Even though Everton never had the upper hand when they played against Liverpool, they are still a tough bone in the entire Premier League.

It would be a big mistake to judge Everton's strength only from the Merseyside Derby.This team never wins the Merseyside derby just because Liverpool are too strong.You can't beat Liverpool, but you can win other teams.

Everton is also very clear that it is difficult for them to get a place in the European competition next season in the strong Premier League, so they have invested a lot in the League Cup and the FA Cup, hoping to use a cup champion, Report them to the Europa League.

In this way, Arsenal will face more pressure than Liverpool in the League Cup.

So they expend more energy.

In fact it is.

Arsenal and Everton fought hard for 10 and 1 minutes. The two teams only scored one goal. In the end, Arsenal eliminated Everton with a difficult score of 0:[-].

The so-called difficulty is because Everton fought very tenaciously at their home court.

Arsenal finally relied on Wilshere's goal to eliminate Everton, but he also paid a big price.

First of all, the goal hero Wilshere was injured in the game and will be sidelined until after Christmas.

Secondly, Ryo Miyaichi received two yellow cards in the game and was sent off with a red card.Arsenal are appealing to the FA Disciplinary Committee on his behalf. In fact, their appeal has no grounds. The two yellow cards of Miyaichi Ryo are solid evidence and there is no problem at all. Arsenal's appeal is obviously to delay time and let Miyaichi Ryo Can catch up with the game against Liverpool.

When their appeal fails, Ryo Miyaichi will face more suspensions, which cannot be resolved in one or two games.

But Arsenal couldn't take care of it at all, because Liverpool is obviously a bigger opponent. In order to deal with this powerful enemy, they will do whatever it takes.

※ ※ ※

Arsenal's complaint made Ryo Miyaichi successfully appear in the match against Liverpool. Now that Van Persie is getting old, Ryo Miyaichi is Arsenal's main offensive weapon.

He was also successfully transformed from a wide player into an all-round scorer by Wenger.Ryo Miyaichi has a relatively thin body, but he is fast and flexible, which allows him to gain the upper hand when facing those bulky and tall defenders.

One of Liverpool's central defenders is Pepe, and the other is Skrtel. Pepe likes to advance aggressively. Skrtel is huge and slow to turn, which can be restrained by using flexibility.

So Miyaichi Ryo will be the key figure in this game.

The key figure on Arsenal's side is Ryo Miyaichi, and on Liverpool's side is Chen Yingxiong.

Therefore, this game is also called "Asian Derby" by Asian media, or "China-Japan Derby".

It has to be said that although China has a hero Chen, in terms of the overall level of football, Japan is the leader in Asian football today, and even Australia cannot compete with them.

This can be seen from the large number of overseas players. A large number of Japanese players play in leagues such as Europe and Brazil.They are the fruits and seeds of the Centennial Plan for Japanese Football.

They represent the highest level of Japanese football.In many European teams, Japanese players are the main players.Even in some wealthy teams, such as Arsenal and Manchester United, Japanese players also play a central role.Ryo Miyaichi is at Arsenal, and Shinji Kagawa is at Manchester United.

So if you look at the overall situation, there is no dispute that Chinese football has suffered a crushing defeat and was thrown out by Japanese football.

But the problem is that this game is not a collision of the overall level of football between China and Japan, but a duel between two players.

In terms of individual combat ability, among the registered players in Japan, there is no one who can compare with Chen Yingxiong.

Miyashi Liang knew the strength of himself and Chen Yingxiong very clearly. Before the match, the Asian media—mainly the media from China and Japan—crazyly hyped the Sino-Japanese confrontation between himself and Chen Yingxiong. Splash cold water on the blow to cool it down.

"Hero is a great player and I admire him a lot. There is no rivalry between us...I just want to help the team win games, I know it's hard, but that's not a reason to give up."

He was not fooled by the reporters.He knew the consequences of provoking Chen Yingxiong. Arsenal had played against Liverpool in recent years. As an East Asian player, he usually paid more attention to Chen Yingxiong, so he naturally knew what kind of temper this person had.

If it makes him unhappy, I'm afraid Arsenal and himself will be wiped out.

It's better to keep a low profile before the game.

Chen Yingxiong also dismissed this "China-Japan Derby" from the media.

"My opponent is Arsenal, not Japan." In a simple sentence, he showed his arrogance to the fullest, and made many Japanese reporters look bad on the spot.

But Chen Yingxiong didn't bother to pay attention to their feelings. He was not his compatriots, nor his fans, so why was he so polite to them?

He has never been a reporter, let alone a Japanese reporter.

※ ※ ※

Miyaichi is modest on the surface, but in fact he is quite competitive in his heart. He doesn't want to confront Chen Yingxiong directly. He intends to help Arsenal defeat Liverpool, so as to defeat Chen Yingxiong in a curve.

For example, as long as he performed well in the game and was the direct contributor to the team's victory, the biggest contributor, while Chen Yingxiong's performance was average, he could suppress Chen Yingxiong.

This is easier and more convenient than directly competing with Chen Yingxiong.

But he was still thinking too naively...

Liverpool are attacking with all their strength, and Chen Yingxiong is in a hot state. How can Arsenal compete with this?
Even at home...

They can't stop the iron hooves of the Red Army!

Only 9 minutes into the game, Liverpool took advantage of a corner kick and Chen Yingxiong scored with a header, opening the door to victory for the team.

Van Persie was powerless, while Miyaichi was suppressed by Liverpool's defense.

With Wilshere injured, Arsenal lost their midfield core, and without the midfield core, their offense seemed to have no structure.

How can you beat Liverpool, which is in high morale?
After Chen Yingxiong opened the scoring for Liverpool, the rhythm of the game entered the track that Liverpool is best at and favorite.

Next, Liverpool shrunk their defense.

Arsenal were forced to press the offense, and Liverpool comfortably played a defensive counterattack-this is their favorite, but it is also the most hated by their opponents.

But who makes them always score first?The team that scores first is eligible to play this tactic, unless you can score earlier than them.

※ ※ ※

After Liverpool shrunk their defense, Chen Yingxiong was alone in front, looking a little lonely and pitiful.

But whether it is the fans in the stands, the audience in front of the TV, or the commentators or reporters, at this time, they will not think that Chen Yingxiong is really "isolated and helpless".

Once Liverpool's quick counterattack tactics are deployed, the players' pressing speed is quite fast.

Chen Yingxiong doesn't need to stand in front for too long, he can immediately get the support of a large number of players.

Especially the two flanks led by Sanchez and Gareth Bale are fast, good footwork, and strong forward pressure awareness.As long as the football is sent to the frontcourt, they rush forward without hesitation. They absolutely believe in Chen Yingxiong's ability and believe that he can control the football in the frontcourt without worrying about rushing up and finding the ball is lost.It is precisely because of Chen Yingxiong's excellent offensive bridgehead that Liverpool's quick counterattack can be carried out.

This set of tactics is not subtle, nor complicated, let alone innovative, it just makes full use of Chen Yingxiong's characteristics.Other teams may be able to do better than them, but they don't have Chen Yingxiong, so everything can only stay in their imagination and obsession.

Many teams' quick counterattacks will be halfway through, because the frontcourt can't control the ball, and the opponent will make a counterattack, and finally lose the ball.So these teams began to slowly become less aggressive.

Only Liverpool dare, because they have the invincible Chen Yingxiong!
