Chapter 1018 The Old Hunter's Prey

Wenger was proud and proud of the team's performance after the game.

"...we came close to winning this game once but... as you all know, we were up against Liverpool and they had a... er, monster. I'm so proud of Robin, it's him Played for the first time this season as a centre-forward. Score two goals. You're all saying he's old, but for me Robin is 30 years old and he's not old yet... "

Martin O'Neill admits Arsenal created a lot of trouble for his team at first.

"We almost lost, if Hero hadn't scored a goal before half-time... I agree with that, Hero is our key man. We really depend on him, there is no shame in that , relying on such a great center... There are many teams that want to rely on him but can't rely on him..."

Robin van Persie also mentioned his performance in this game in the interview at the end of the game.

"To score two goals, I'm happy. But when the team loses, there's nothing to be happy about... Hero? He's a great player... Yes, he came to me to exchange shirts, but We didn't say anything..."

Chen Yingxiong was also asked by reporters about exchanging jerseys.It is really rare for him to take the initiative to exchange jerseys, and the reporters are keenly aware that this is a news.

Chen Yingxiong felt that the reporters were making a fuss out of a molehill.

"Yes, we swapped jerseys, but it's normal..."

"But I remember that you very, very rarely take the initiative to find someone to exchange jerseys..." A reporter expressed doubts.

"It's very simple, it's because I haven't found anyone who is qualified to let me take the initiative to exchange jerseys with him!"

Wow!What a big tone!
This is the first reaction of many reporters.But soon they all nodded—this is in line with Chen Yingxiong's characteristics, and he should indeed speak like this.

He is arrogant and arrogant, he should really think so.He didn't even pay attention to Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, and others probably didn't pay attention to him...

But he went to exchange jerseys with Van Persie, could it be...

"Hmm. I think Van Persie is a great player. He once competed with me for the top scorer for a season, and I only won him by one goal. In this game, he scored twice and almost killed us. Death, drove us to a dead end. So I am willing to exchange jerseys with him. Because he is really a very powerful opponent!"

"Then the contest between the two of you in this game..."

"We are tied." Chen Yingxiong replied.

After the press conference, Wenger comforted captain Van Persie on the way back to the hotel.

He didn't know how Chen Yingxiong commented on Van Persie. He was worried that this failure would affect Van Persie's belief in staying in the team-Arsenal had such a wonderful start at home, but they failed to win Liverpool.This shows that there is a strength gap between Arsenal and Liverpool.If Arsenal want to win the championship in England, especially the league championship, Liverpool is an unavoidable opponent.He was afraid that the failure of this game would make Van Persie doubt his prospects of staying in the team, and he was worried that if he continued to stay, he would still get nothing...

Although the two parties are only short of signing, the agreed contract is just a piece of waste paper before signing.

"Don't take this game too seriously, Robin. You've actually done really well... I'm sure the team has a chance under your leadership..."

Van Persie shook his head: "I don't care about it, boss. Liverpool is indeed very strong. If we want to make a breakthrough in the league, they are a very strong enemy. But... I have confidence in my teammates. And , Fighting against heroes... is really a lot of fun!"

Van Persie, who had already taken a shower, was already fully dressed and put on a shirt and jeans. He didn't look like a football player at all, but more like a movie star, exuding charming charm all over his body.But he was still clutching the black Liverpool jersey that was soaked in sweat and exuded a sweaty smell that was incompatible with his perfume.

Wenger looked at him and also noticed the black Liverpool shirt in his hand.

He thought for a while, then patted Van Persie on the shoulder: "Thank you."

Van Persie really can't leave anymore. After leaving, he will have no leader. So what is the difference between this team and a loose sand?
So he would like to thank Van Persie for finally choosing to stay and share troubles with Arsenal.

"Arsenal had a perfect start, but in the end it was Liverpool who won... They tried their best and couldn't stop Liverpool from continuing to win. Especially the process of the game was hopeless - Arsenal scored first, Leading by two goals, then Liverpool started a Jedi counterattack, the hero scored twice, and Gerrard completed the reversal with a long shot. This process is like announcing one thing: no matter how hard you worked and how dominant you were, in the end It was us Liverpool who won! It's so demoralizing!"

"I think after watching this game, is there anyone still doubting Liverpool's rise? If so, then that person must be blind and deaf, he can't see the game, he can't hear others... Liverpool's revival is no longer just People speculate, or only exist in the fantasies of hardcore Liverpool fans, let alone rumors, but facts that actually happened!"

"Sixteen league rounds are over. Liverpool topped the list with 46 wins, [-] draw and [-] loss. This is really a horrible record. They scored [-] goals and conceded only [-] goals, the most in the Premier League. The number of goals conceded is the fewest in the Premier League. This performance is indeed worthy of their position in the standings..."

"By the end of the semi-city league, there are still three league rounds. In these three rounds, Liverpool's opponents are Newcastle, Swansea and Middlesbrough. Two home games and one away game. To be honest, I don't think the three Opponents can slow down Liverpool's pace. Even if Newcastle suddenly emerges this season, considering that they are away, it may be difficult to pose a threat to Liverpool..."

The match between Liverpool and Arsenal was regarded as a "mighty confrontation" before the game, and the result was that Liverpool won. This contrast makes many people think that Liverpool is already invincible.After the game, the media have expressed similar views.

Everyone is touting Liverpool and singing the praises of Liverpool, and some people are passionately recalling how Bob Paisley's Liverpool swept Europe and England, perhaps thinking that doing so is not enough to prove that they are actually old Liverpool. , and some reporters simply recalled the Shankly era...

Anyway, nowadays, red is the main color of English football, but it is not the red of the "Red Devils" Manchester United, but the red of the "Red Army" Liverpool.

It's impossible for Ferguson not to know about the nasty flattery in the media, but he didn't react in any way. He kept a low profile as if he had escaped into the darkness and couldn't find it...

In fact, Ferguson now hopes that the media will all lick Liverpool's assholes. The more comfortable the licking of Liverpool, the better.In this way, Liverpool will feel that they are invincible.And the media had better not think of Manchester United, don't try to see what Manchester United is doing, and completely forget Manchester United in a dark corner.For the golden prey, let the showy people do it. After so many years of hard work, occasionally they become so rampant that they don't know what their last name is. The more high-profile the better.As for myself, just hide in the dark and be a hunter quietly waiting for an opportunity, just waiting for a fatal opportunity...

Now that Liverpool is doing well, Manchester United never hoped that Liverpool would lose, nor did they think about how to deal with Liverpool.All they have to do is to bite Liverpool to death without making a sound.Don't let the gap between the two sides be widened, and then in the second half of the season, after the knockout stage of the Champions League is fully launched... Then, it is Manchester United's opportunity!

The experienced Ferguson did not believe that Martin O'Neill could cope with the complicated situation.At that time, it will not only be about the strength of the team, but also the experience.

Compared with experience, no one in football today is richer than Ferguson.

After the game against Arsenal is the last game of the Champions League group stage, Liverpool challenged Feyenoord away.Before this game, Liverpool and Valencia had the same points. Because of the advantage of the away goals of the two sides, they ranked above Valencia and ranked first in the group.

This last round of the group stage is a decisive battle for the two teams.Who can be the boss, who is the younger brother, who eats meat, who drinks soup, it all depends on this one!
Playing Feyenoord away, Martin O'Neill dare not underestimate the enemy.Just rested Sanchez, who felt muscle fatigue after the game against Arsenal, and replaced him with Adam Johnson. The rest of the starting lineup completely followed the set they had with Arsenal.

Play with all the main force to ensure that Liverpool can get the right to qualify first in the group, and then concentrate on dealing with the domestic league-Christmas is coming, and the annual devil's schedule is coming...

※ ※ ※

Finally, in the away game, Liverpool beat Feyenoord 3:1 - Feyenoord is definitely third in the group, and will participate in the Europa League in the second half of the season. There is no reason to work so hard. What if a few people are injured? ?They knew that Liverpool was going to compete with Valencia for the first place in the group, so Liverpool's players were a bunch of red-eyed savages.

Therefore, Feyenoord did not play with all the main players in this game.

Liverpool won easily, and Chen Yingxiong was also happy.He scored twice in the game, taking his tally to twelve on the top scorer list.

I'm even happier that Messi didn't score!

The gap between the two widened by four goals!

In addition, Valencia encountered the tenacious resistance of Paris Saint-Germain in the away game.This time Paris Saint-Germain is really fighting for honor-is it really necessary to lose all six group matches at home?
Changing coaches is like changing knives, and Paris Saint-Germain had good luck in this game, scoring one in just 4 minutes after the start of the game.

Valencia was ill-prepared for Paris Saint-Germain's sudden outburst.

In the end, Valencia shook hands with Paris Saint-Germain 1:1 away.

Liverpool ranked first in the [-]-point group and Valencia ranked second in the [-]-point group.

The two teams joined hands to qualify, and the seats were also scheduled.
