Chapter 415 The Dangerous Arsenal

On October 31, in the 11th round of the Premier League, Liverpool came to Stamford Bridge, where they will challenge the Blues Chelsea.

Chelsea this season is indeed unfavorable, with constant infighting within the team and a sharp decline in the team's performance.

In the current Premier League standings, Chelsea ranks fifteenth with 3 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses.

Such a position is indeed not in line with Chelsea's temperament, let alone their team's worth.

Although this game is called a strong battle, it is not worthy of the name.

Purely speaking from the standings, Liverpool currently ranks first, while Chelsea ranks fifteenth. In addition, in terms of points, Chelsea's points are less than half of Liverpool's. No matter how you look at it, they are two teams with distinct strengths and weaknesses.

However, for Liverpool, the relationship with Chelsea itself is not very good. They have been sniped by them before and lost the Premier League championship, so this is a good opportunity to beat the dog in the water.

At the same time, this game is also another battle between Mourinho and Klopp.

In the UEFA Champions League in the 12/13 season, Real Madrid led by Mourinho and Dortmund led by Klopp met in the semi-finals of the Champions League. In the end, Uncle Zha was promoted. At the same time, Mourinho bid farewell to the Real Madrid coach. It was only after that that he entered the Palace Chelsea for the second time.

In fact, to be honest, with Chelsea's current state, it may be difficult to cause any trouble for Liverpool, even if they are playing at home.

At Stamford Bridge, Chelsea started off well.

In just 4 minutes of the opening, Azpilicueta made a pass from the bottom, and Ramirez in the middle followed up with a header to complete the opening goal for Chelsea.

However, this goal is more like their flashback. In the next game time, Liverpool will basically control the initiative on the field.

In the 25th minute, Coutinho took the ball in the front court, kicked a pass, and picked the ball into the penalty area at a 45-degree angle.

Li Chenglong leaned on the old Terry in the penalty area, swept the ball with his right foot, and swept the ball into the opponent's goal.

In this game, Chelsea's main goalkeeper Courtois was absent due to injury, and now Bosnian goalkeeper Begovic is in the goal. The performance of Bosnia and Herzegovina is indeed much worse than that of Courtois.

Liverpool equalized the score, which made Chelsea a little at a loss.

Mourinho has almost lost control of the team, and now the Chelsea generals on the field are somewhat fighting against each other. Some want to continue to attack and take the lead again, while others want to stabilize the defense first. .

Under such circumstances, during stoppage time in the first half, Firmino, who had returned from injury, made a steal in the frontcourt and personally dribbled the ball into the penalty area to complete the goal.

When Liverpool conceded the first goal at the beginning, they completed the reversal in the first half.

Immediately after the second half, Coutinho became the most eye-catching one.

He kicked in front of the penalty area twice in a row, and shot the Cloud Piercing Arrow twice in a row, directly expanding the score to 4:1, and at the same time completely sealed the victory.

In this way, Liverpool beat Chelsea 4:1 at Stamford Bridge, which was another step on their heads.

In other matches of this round of the Premier League, Manchester City defeated Norwich City 2:1 at home, Arsenal defeated Swansea 3:0 away, and Leicester City also defeated West Brom 3:2 away.

But Manchester United suffered two consecutive draws. They drew 0:0 with Crystal Palace in the away game.

In the latest Premier League standings, Liverpool continues to occupy the top spot with 29 points, followed by Manchester City with 25 points, Arsenal with 24 points and Leicester City with 22 points.

In other words, Manchester United has been squeezed out of the top four in the Premier League.

After the weekend league, it will soon be the midweek Champions League group stage.

On November 3, in the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Liverpool faced CSKA Moscow at home.

In this game, Liverpool played even more difficult than when they were away.

The main reason is that it was CSKA's home court before, and they played unconservatively, which gave Liverpool more opportunities to counterattack.

But this time when they switched to Liverpool's home court, the Russian team became very conservative. They obviously came with the belief of sticking to it and getting a point.

Under such circumstances, Liverpool could not find a good chance to score for a long time.

Until the 77th minute of the second half, Li Chenglong passed two opponents in a row and made a diagonal pass. Fimi followed up and hit the goal and was blocked, but Coutinho followed up with a supplementary shot in time and finally kicked the ball into the opponent's goal.

Coutinho's state is really good recently, which has caused more rumors about his transfer from Barcelona.

In this way, Liverpool relied on Coutinho's goal to win CSKA Moscow 1-0 at home, and also completed a double play against the Russian Red Army.

In another game in the same group that was held at the same time in this round, Eindhoven defeated Wolfsburg 2-0 at home.

In this case, after the four rounds of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Liverpool will almost lock in the group qualifying places.

Currently Liverpool has 10 points, Wolfsburg has 6 points, PSV Eindhoven has 4 points and CSKA Moscow has 3 points.

In the next round, Liverpool will face Eindhoven at home. As long as Liverpool draws, they will be locked in qualifying places, and if they win, they will directly lock in the first place in the group.

Among the other Champions League matches in the middle of this week, Real Madrid defeated Paris 1-0 at home, and this powerful round finally decided the outcome.

Real Madrid defeated Greater Paris, which basically determined that in their group, Greater Paris can only strive for the second place in the group.

Pushing the team led by Rogers to the second place in the group, Real Madrid can be regarded as revenge.

Another strong battle between Bayern and the Gunners finally ended with Bayern's 5:1 massacre of Arsenal at home.

Although Arsenal rebounded in the last round, they still failed to withstand the Allianz slaughterhouse this time.

After losing this game, Arsenal's situation is already very dangerous.

In Arsenal's current group, Bayern and Olympiacos both have 9 points, while Arsenal only have 3 points.

In the next two rounds, Arsenal must not only win all their own games, but also hope that Bayern will help them attack Olympiacos.

If in the next round Bayern makes a little trouble and draws with Olympiacos at home, then Arsenal will go home immediately.

Anyway, from all aspects, Arsenal's qualifying situation is very critical.

Speaking of which, among the four Premier League teams participating in the Champions League this season, Manchester City performed the best. After losing to Juventus at home in the first round, they won a three-game winning streak directly. At the same time, the other three teams had more draws, so they The group qualified two rounds ahead of schedule.

Originally, the group that Manchester City was in was considered the deadliest group in the Champions League this season. Instead, Manchester City qualified two rounds ahead of schedule, and finally earned a sigh of relief in the Champions League.

Now the four teams in the Champions League in the Premier League, Manchester City have qualified ahead of schedule, but they have not yet been able to secure the first place in the group and still need to compete with Juventus.

Liverpool is in sight, and it is not a big problem to win the first place in the group.

Although Chelsea are in poor form, there is probably no problem qualifying. It depends on whether they can grab the first place in the group.

On the contrary, it is Arsenal with the most experience in the Champions League. Their qualifying situation is very critical, and they will be out if they are not careful.
