Super Coach

Four hundred and thirty-eight The battle for the championship

Four days after Liverpool took home the League Cup from the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, the team traveled to Leeds United. M

Although Murphy's goal in the 21st minute opened the scoring for Liverpool, Leeds United chased after them. Alan Smith and Viduka successively equalized and overtook the score, but in the 43rd minute, Kuyt's goal opened the scoring for Liverpool. Evened the score.

Neither side made much improvement in the second half. Liverpool was also very tired. It was obvious that they had relaxed after winning the League Cup. Even the all-round substitute Ronaldinho could not change the situation. In the end, they were defeated by Leeds 2:2 away from home. The league tied.

Arsenal defeated Charlton 2:1 at their home court, but the Gunners were not in a good situation. They took the lead in the 2nd and 4th minutes through Pires's free kick and Henry's fast break, but Charlton outplayed Arsenal throughout the rest of the game and pulled a goal back in the second half.

As a result, at the end of the 27th round of make-up, Liverpool was 3 points behind Arsenal.

Yang Cheng didn't have much reaction to this result.

I don't think it's anything, it's only 3 points. Don't forget, we still have a league game to play with Arsenal. We will make up for these 3 points at Highbury Stadium. As for Arsenal, they better pray to God. I won’t lose points anymore!”

After finishing the league make-up match, Liverpool encountered Birmingham led by Steve Bruce in the FA Cup quarter-final draw. In the end, Liverpool lost 0:1 away to Birmingham and was helplessly eliminated from the FA Cup.

But three days later, Liverpool, whose main lineup was recharged, defeated French Ligue 1 Marseille 2:0 at their home court, laying an advantage for themselves to advance to the next round.

On March 13, in the 28th round of the league, Liverpool defeated Southampton 2:0 away from home, Arsenal also defeated Blackburn 2:0 away from home, and Chelsea defeated Bolton Wanderers 2:0 away from home. All three teams went smoothly. Take down your opponent.

However, Manchester United unexpectedly lost to their arch-enemy Manchester City in the Manchester Derby with a score of 1:4.

In this game, the problems of Ferguson's team were completely exposed. The loss of power in the midfield made it very simple for them to advance the ball and defend easily. Especially after Giggs was absent, Keegan just caught Keeping this in mind, they chased Manchester United fiercely and finally won this derby victory.

After this defeat, Ferguson publicly stated that Manchester United had lost the right to compete for the championship this season. He believed that this season's Premier League championship will be competed between Arsenal and Liverpool.

If it's a personal relationship, I'm more optimistic about Yang Cheng.

But unfortunately, I don’t want to see Liverpool win the championship, so I think Arsenal will have the last laugh, but Wenger’s team has a big problem, that is, their lineup is not thick enough, but Arsenal is currently in the Champions League, The league and the FA Cup go hand in hand, and I think this is a big risk.

Looking at Liverpool, it is obvious that after Yang Cheng won the League Cup, he played in the FA Cup with a full substitute lineup and lost to Birmingham. That was because he focused all his energy on the League Cup and the League. Although the League this season There are many strong teams in the Cup, but the pressure is always less than that of the Champions League, and there is no guarantee that Yang Cheng will not give up the useless UEFA Cup and devote himself to winning the league championship!

But the reporter quickly reminded Ferguson with a smile that his team determines the trend of the championship.

In the 30th round, Manchester United challenged Arsenal away from home. In the 35th round, Liverpool challenged Manchester United away from home. In addition, in the 32nd round, Liverpool challenged Arsenal away from home. This formed the three high-profile battles to win the championship this season, because any One game may affect the trend of the league championship.

In the 29th round of the league, after a week's rest, Liverpool defeated Wolves 3:0 at home, and Arsenal also defeated Bolton 2:1 at home. The two teams continued to maintain the momentum of progress together.

In mid-week, Liverpool went to France to challenge Marseille, but the two sides tied with 1:1. Liverpool eliminated the French Ligue 1 team with a total score of 3:1 and successfully reached the top 8 of the UEFA Cup.

Liverpool's opponent in the quarterfinals is Benfica from Portugal.

Returning to the Premier League, in the 30th round, Arsenal faced the challenge of Manchester United at Highbury Stadium. Although Henry scored for Arsenal in the first half, Saha's goal at the last moment allowed Manchester United to win from Highbury. Lee Stadium retreated and the two sides drew 1:1.

Liverpool challenged Leicester City away from home. This team, which was aiming to avoid relegation this season, put up a cage-like defensive posture at its home court, which ultimately forced Liverpool to accept a 0:0 depressing defeat. A great opportunity to catch up with Arsenal was missed.

Yang Cheng has nothing to do about it. Relegation teams have always been difficult to deal with because they will try their best, but Liverpool cannot do it and will have reservations. Therefore, many teams are unwilling to encounter relegation teams. On the contrary, those who come ashore A team that is better is much easier to play.

After a week's rest, Liverpool sat at their home court and welcomed Blackburn.

Yang Cheng's team defeated Blackburn 4-0 at their home court cleanly and achieved a key victory.

As a competitor, Arsenal encountered the opponent's siege in Portsmouth. In the end, the two sides tied 1:1, which once again confirmed one thing. Teams aiming to avoid relegation are unreasonable lunatics.

After this game, Liverpool began to face a crucial showdown with Arsenal.

Arsenal is a very good team, they have a very good main lineup...

At the pre-match press conference, Yang Cheng smiled and talked to the media about his next opponent, Arsenal, and he followed his usual style of giving some praise first, and then changed the subject.

But, please note, this is only the main lineup!

The reporters below immediately started a commotion. Once Yang Cheng's words came out, it would definitely arouse a wave of criticism and accusations. This guy, like Ferguson, likes to stir up trouble.

Everyone knows that a team with a strong bench is likely to achieve better results. Of course, I do not rule out that some teams can win the championship with their main lineup, but this is not realistic. Teams will always It is inevitable that there will be injuries and attrition, but Arsenal did not do a good job in this regard.

Look at our bench, look at the benches at Manchester United and Chelsea, and then look back at Arsenal's bench. I don't understand why Wenger doesn't work more on this? Yang Cheng wondered. With.

The money to bring in Reyes was enough for Wenger to bring in two or three good bench players, but he failed to do so.

As for the current Arsenal, they are not too poor. They can afford at least 18 million pounds or something, but Wenger is obviously not prepared to introduce this.

The absence of Gilberto and Edu will completely become a turning point of this season, and Wenger will definitely pay a heavy price because he does not pay enough attention to the substitute lineup!

Yang Cheng's words are actually nothing new. In England, many media have long commented on Wenger's recruitment strategy, believing that underestimating the thickness of the bench is his biggest drawback.

Apart from anything else, the bench for Liverpool is full of powerful stars such as Murphy, Hamann, Kuyt, etc. Who is on the bench for Arsenal? Fabregas, Senderos, Reyes, these people are either too small, lack game training, or are not adapted to the Premier League.

Mr. Yang Cheng, you defeated Arsenal twice this season. This time Wenger said he would take revenge by defeating Liverpool at Highbury Stadium. What do you think? a reporter asked with a smile.

I welcome you anytime! Yang Cheng said with a smile, but quickly shook his head, However, I don't think they have such a chance.

Why?

I've got him! Yang Cheng said with a smile, but did not directly tell the reason.

It's obvious that Yang Cheng is playing a riddle, and no one will tell the opponent's biggest flaw before the game, right?

What I can say is that we at Liverpool are very confident about this game. We have a psychological advantage against Arsenal and we will achieve a very good result at Highbury Stadium.

After a pause, Yang Cheng stood up and said confidently to the reporter below: Before this game, the league leader was Arsenal. After this game, we, Liverpool, are the league champions!

After saying that, he turned around and left.

…………

…………

If Wenger hears this, he will be so angry that he will bleed from his mouth! Benitez said with a smile while watching the broadcast of Yang Cheng's words on TV.

The Spaniard would not attack his opponent so openly like Yang Cheng. Although it was a war of words, Benitez would not do such a thing. Talking has never been his strong point. On the contrary, Yang Cheng would come out to fight with others from time to time. One game.

That's best. I hope everyone on the Arsenal team wants to kill me! Yang Cheng didn't mind at all.

This is one of Yang Cheng's combat strategies.

At this point, neither side of the competition can hide anything anymore.

Arsenal's Gilberto and Edu are absent, and Liverpool's Gerrard and Finnan are absent. Both teams have injuries. It can't be said who has taken advantage, but Liverpool has an advantage, that is, the bench is thick enough.

The Arsenal team has a very special phenomenon! Paul Bayer picked up the end of Yang Cheng's words, They are very good at hitting the ball with the wind, and they can only hit the ball with the wind. In addition, they have such control this season. The unique style of play allows them to play smoothly and achieve any result in any situation.

But their playing style is soft and they lack the strength to control the game, which makes them chaotic when they fall behind. When they are chaotic, the game becomes very violent. Vieira is a typical example. He has received so many red cards. I just don’t behave well, why? The environment!”

Another point is that I think Arsenal also lacks concentration. They are too arbitrary and easily provoked and influenced by the outside world!

Paul Bayer’s words were immediately confirmed by Tim Hank.

So they are the team that has complained the most to the referee in the past few seasons, far higher than other teams.

Typical French character, romantic, elegant and calm! Yang Cheng commented with a smile.

Wenger himself is a very French Frenchman, and the players in the team, Henry, Pires, Bergkamp, ​​and Ljungberg, are also this type of players. Even Vieira, who has the most red cards in the Premier League, plays The ball is actually very French, so Florentino gave up Makelele, who lacked French flavor, for him.

For this game, with Gerrard missing due to injury, Yang Cheng has decided to make adjustments.

Gerrard is a very important attacking point for Liverpool this season. His suspension due to accumulation of yellow cards will inevitably affect Liverpool's frontcourt offense, so Yang Cheng decided to adjust the lineup.

In front is the trident composed of Drogba, Robben and Cristiano Ronaldo. Behind him is the three midfielders composed of Davis, Carrick and Essien. The defense is composed of Riise, Hyypia and Kalla. Gerard and Glen Johnson, the goalkeeper is Reina.

Since the Spanish goalkeeper replaced Dudek, although his performance has not been very stable, he is at least much more reliable than the Polish. In addition, he is young and has potential, and Yang Cheng is happy to let him continue to hone his position.

This is the first time Liverpool has used the trident this season, and Yang Cheng certainly hopes to gain something.

And with the absence of Gilberto and Edu, the protection of Arsenal's defense is bound to be affected.

While everyone was discussing, Yang Cheng received a message. It was about Wenger's counterattack to Yang Cheng's remarks when he just accepted the media interview. He believed that his team was in the schedule. It is very unfavorable, always facing strong opponents in the process of European competitions, and Liverpool has taken advantage of the schedule.

Arsenal are indeed in a very unfavorable situation today, because they were eliminated by Ranieri's Chelsea in the Champions League quarter-finals the day before yesterday. This made the Gunners completely eliminated from the European competition, but what is even more tragic is that on April 3 In the FA Cup, the Gunners lost 0:1 at home to Manchester United.

In just 10 days, two consecutive defeats directly caused the Gunners to lose on two fronts. This leaves Arsenal with only one league title to compete for. Therefore, Wenger is very concerned about the next league game. Also take it very seriously.

When Yang Cheng saw Wenger's comment, he immediately laughed and counterattacked on his Weibo.

I finally heard what Mr. Wenger meant. I think the Premier League schedule for the next season should be like this. Let UEFA first formulate the Champions League schedule, and then send the schedule to Mr. Wenger's office for Mr. Wenger to We discussed it carefully with the assistants and determined Arsenal’s schedule, and then finalized the schedule of other teams.”

Well, I think this is good. I believe that if the schedule is arranged like this, Arsenal should be able to win the European Champions League. That will be the result of the joint efforts of all the managers of all Premier League teams. I support it!

After posting on Weibo, Yang Cheng seemed to feel that it was not enjoyable enough.

There is a saying in my motherland that horses produced in the mild south are very good-looking, but not strong enough to withstand the cold winds and snows of the north. Horses produced in the bitterly cold north are not good-looking, but they are better than they can withstand the cold wind and snow in the north. They endure hardships and stand hard work. Because of this, during ancient wars, almost all war horses came from the north, while the horses from the south were just beautiful!

Yang Cheng liked Weibo in his previous life. After time travel, he became a typical Weibo fan. Today, he has more than 10 million fans on Weibo and is still the celebrity with the largest number of Weibo fans in the world.

Just as Yang Cheng's Weibo was posted, a piece of news he was following came not long after.

I'm so free, little brother. Come and stay with me. I miss you so much! followed by a resentful expression, which came from Aniston's Weibo.

As soon as it refreshed, a group of fans followed suit. They just thought that Aniston confessed to Yang Cheng on Weibo.

A fan on Yang Cheng's side immediately posted, Caesar's bastard spirit is bursting out, and America's sweetheart is in full swing.

Yang Cheng laughed. He and Aniston had nothing to do with each other. Since the last incident, they both treated it as if nothing happened and didn't mention it. During this period, she had been to Liverpool two or three times, and Yang Cheng always acted as a host. It's quite enjoyable to entertain her and occasionally flirt with her on Weibo.

First, he made a sweaty expression, Sister, how can such a secret be revealed in such an unsecret way?

Another group of fans followed suit, talking about Yang Cheng and Aniston.

Who told you to forget about me? I'm so lonely! Aniston immediately replied.

It’s too ambiguous, too disgusting!

When the coaching staff in the distance saw Yang Cheng's expression, they knew that this coquettish man was playing Weibo again.

This guy flirts with women everywhere and has an affair with everyone.

You bastards, I'm bombarding Wenger! Yang Cheng quickly closed the computer and walked out with dignity.

Who believes it! Everyone shook their heads.

…………

…………

Yang Cheng's attack on Wenger on Weibo spread quickly.

This is the advantage of Weibo, because if you use newspapers, you have to wait until tomorrow. But on Weibo, posting immediately will be effective immediately, and then radio stations, TV stations, and newspapers will all compete for attention. This thing is so interesting.

Among the head coaches around the world, Yang Cheng is the best at Weibo. Ferguson, Wenger, etc., can’t play this thing.

There is no doubt that when everyone sees the first point, they will feel that Yang Cheng's counterattack is powerful. When it comes to the second point, it is simply cynicism.

After watching it, everyone knew that Yang Cheng was satirizing Arsenal as a horse from the south, good-looking but useless, while Liverpool is a horse from the north, not very good-looking, but good at fighting.

This immediately caused an uproar. Everyone at Arsenal came out to fight, and they could not tolerate Yang Cheng's accusations against their head coach. Among them, Vieira, Henry and others threatened to beat Yang Cheng and his Liverpool at Highbury Stadium.

We will let them experience a nightmare firsthand, and it will be his mouth or our toes that will be tough!

Successfully aroused the anger of everyone at Arsenal, but Yang Cheng did not continue to fan the flames, nor did he continue to engage in verbal wars. Instead, he allowed the outside world to speculate, declined some interviews, isolated everyone at Liverpool, and prepared for the next day with all his heart. This match was played at Highbury Stadium.

The Times' forecast is that this will be the final battle to determine the ownership of the Premier League championship this season. Whoever can win at Highbury Stadium will be most likely to win the Premier League championship this season! (To be continued
