Chapter 316 The Red Army Strikes
After successfully winning Chelsea and reaching the quarter-finals of the League Cup, Zhang Xu put the game behind him. Now, for Arsenal, the most important thing is still the league.

And the opponent in the next league is a tough one-Liverpool!
Liverpool Football Club (Liverpool? Football? Club, abbreviated as LIV or LFC), is an English football club located in the port city of Liverpool, Merseyside, in the northwest of England, England.

利物浦一共夺取过18次英格兰顶级联赛的冠军、7次英格兰足总杯的冠军、8次英格兰联赛杯的冠军、5次欧洲冠军联赛冠军以及3次欧洲联盟杯冠军，也曾为已解散的G-14创立成员，乃是英格兰与欧洲足球历史上最成功的豪门冠军球队之一。

On May 2012, 5, the Liverpool team announced the termination of the contract with Dalglish. On June 16, 2012, Liverpool and Dalglish terminated their contract and invited 6-year-old former Swansea marshal Brenda Rogers to be the team leader. The arrival of Rogers, who advocates ground organization and possession of the ball, made Liverpool change from the previous defensive and counterattack style of play, with an average possession rate of nearly 1% per game.

Team leader Brenda Rogers prefers to use young players and skilled players. Many youth team players have been promoted to the first team and even have the opportunity to play under his command, such as Andre Weston, Raheem Sterling and Martin Kelly.

In addition, several young and skilled players were signed, such as Daniel Sturridge, Coutinho, Mignolet, Aspas, Ilori and Alberto, which greatly increased Liverpool's strength in the front and back courts, and the average age of the players was only 22 years old, making it one of the "youngest" clubs in Europe.

The emblem of the Liverpool club is based on the symbol of the city of Liverpool - the Liverbird (Liverbird), and the Liverbird is placed in a shield in the logo.

Above the shield is the club's representative Shankly gate and the English title of the famous team song "You'll Never Walk Alone".

Liverpool FC's team song is "You'llNeverWalkAlone".The song originated from a Broadway musical "Carousel" composed by Richard Rodgers and lyricized by Oscar Hammerstein II, and was later included in their album by Liverpool musicians "Gerry & The Pacemakers".The song has been sung by Liverpool fans at Anfield since the 20s.

It is impossible for Wenger not to pay attention to such a standard giant team. Before the game, he began to carry out targeted tactical drills. During the game, he arranged the most reasonable and strongest starting lineup according to the team's injuries and physical conditions.

依然还是3-2-3-2的双后腰阵型：守门员是1号-斯泽斯尼；后卫是3号-萨尼亚，4号-默特萨克，6号-科斯切尔尼；后腰是18号张旭和8号-阿尔特塔，中场是16号-拉姆齐，11号-厄齐尔和19号-卡索拉；前锋是12号-吉鲁和14号-沃尔科特。

Vermaelen, Gibbs, Rosicky and Bendtner were all placed on the bench.

If we talk about this lineup, whose physical fitness and injuries do not need Wenger to worry about, it is undoubtedly Zhang Xu. With 99 points of full attribute stamina, coupled with the passive skill of running undead, Zhang Xu doesn't have to worry about the problem of stamina consumption at all.

Since the beginning of this season, there have been 19 games played in various games, large and small. Other players on the team have gradually developed some physical problems, that is, Zhang Xu. When his body was checked by the team doctor, his body was as strong as ever.

Among Liverpool, there is a player who Wenger has a headache, he is No. 7 Suarez, this powerful striker known as "Su God".

Suarez (LuisAlbertoSuarez), born in Salto on January 1987, 1, is a Uruguayan football player and striker.Suarez began his career with the Uruguayan National Football Club. In 24, transferred to the Eredivisie Groningen Football Club. In 2006, he joined the Eredivisie Ajax Football Club and won the Eredivisie Golden Boot and Dutch Footballer of the Year in three and a half years.

In the same year, he was selected for the Uruguayan national team for the first time. In 2010, he participated in the World Cup in South Africa for the first time and scored three goals, and also helped Uruguay break into the semi-finals. In 2011, joined the Premier League Liverpool Football Club.In the same year, he led the Uruguayan team to win the 43rd America's Cup and was elected the best player. In 2013, Suarez won the Premier League Golden Boot and the European Golden Boot.

Suarez has first-class dribbling and shooting skills. He can play both as a center forward and on the front wing. He is a rare all-round attacker.In addition to breaking through and shooting with the ball, Suarez can also deliver shells for his teammates.In the Uruguay national team, Suarez and Forlan are the team's main strikers.

Although Suarez is strong, his weaknesses are also very obvious.Suarez's weakness is that he is not fast enough, and lacks rhythm and explosiveness when dribbling.

In response to this weakness, Wenger can do more work. Zhang Xu's speed is superb, and his defensive ability is even more abnormal. If he marks Suarez, he can completely block his opponent.

So before this game, Wenger handed over the task of marking Suarez to Zhang Xu, and the offensive organization let Ozil take over for the first time.

Of course, if Zhang Xu still has spare energy, he can still participate in the team's offensive organization.

Arsenal is currently the only team in the league that keeps scoring goals in every round, scoring first 10 times in the last 10 games.

After leading by one goal, Arsenal's morale was even higher and their offensive momentum became more violent. Although Chelsea still attacked from time to time, they were basically directly strangled by Zhang Xu.

In the end, the score of this game was fixed at two to zero!
Arsenal won the tenth round of the league, scored three points, and continued to lead the league standings!
