Chapter 340 The Game That Can't Be Lost

Fortunately, Wenger did not receive any bad news on this international match day, but when all the players returned, Wenger could finally rest assured that no one was injured at Arsenal this time.

With the return of the players, the battle in the league is about to rekindle. In the No.30 round of the league, Arsenal will face a strong enemy Liverpool, which is also the team that is most likely to threaten Arsenal in the last few rounds.

Although Liverpool lost the last round of the league, it was the only game Liverpool lost in the last thirteen rounds, so Liverpool is in good form recently.

Because of the recent wave of winning streak, Liverpool has surpassed Tottenham and started to catch up with Manchester United, so this game is even more important for Liverpool.

However, the previous victories cost Liverpool a lot. At present, neither the captain Gerrard nor the main central defender can appear in the game against Arsenal. This is definitely a huge blow to Liverpool.

Compared to Liverpool, there is no problem with Arsenal's main force. Although they all went to the national team to report, the same is true for Liverpool. Everyone is equally divided.

No, Arsenal is more advantageous, because the real core of Arsenal is Li Shou, a goalkeeper, there is no physical problem at all, and Li Shou has no national team competition tasks.

Tickets are hard to find at the Emirates Stadium now, because of Arsenal's outstanding record this season, more Arsenal fans want to enter the stadium to watch the game.

And with Li Shou's outstanding performance at Arsenal, overseas Chinese in England and fans from China firmly occupy a corner of the stadium. Although there are not many of them, they are no less enthusiastic than other fans, and even more enthusiastic, because China only has one Li Shou with billions.

"If Liverpool loses this game, they should lose the chance to compete for the top four." There is now a 5-point gap between Liverpool and Manchester United. If the game is lost, the point difference is likely to widen to 8 points. The league is now playing one less game.

Therefore, Chelsea is also very concerned about this game. Chelsea are 12 points behind Arsenal. Although they have one less game, even if Chelsea play the make-up match, they are still 9 points behind Arsenal.

However, Chelsea still have a direct match with Arsenal, but before that, Chelsea must not fall behind. Of course, Arsenal must also expand their lead as much as possible.

So this game is very important for both Arsenal and Liverpool. One is about the final ownership of the league championship, and even winning the next Champions League plan, and the other is about whether they can enter the Champions League next season.

"Arsenal has no way out, they can only keep winning now," Zhan Jun said after the analysis.

Yes, Arsenal has no retreat, so Wenger sent all the main players in this game, goalkeeper Li Shou, defender Monreal, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Bellerin, midfielder Coquelin, Ramsey, Cazorla, striker Griezmann, Giroud and Sanchez.

Liverpool's goalkeeper Mignolet, three defenders Emre Can, Kolo Toure, Sako, midfielder Henderson, Lucas, Joe Allen, Moreno, midfielder Coutinho and Markovic, single striker Sterling.

Sterling is not an orthodox striker, and as a teenager, Sterling does not score many goals. So far Sterling has only 6 goals in the league.

The second generation of British Emperor Star is not called casually. Sterling's situation is very similar to that of Welbeck. The media frantically touted it, but in fact Sterling's talent has not yet been realized into strength.

Under the whistle of the referee, the game started. Arsenal, who were playing at home, immediately launched an offensive and quickly completed the first shot of the game.

After receiving Cazorla's split, Sanchez moved across the middle and cooperated with Giroud to hit the wall. Sanchez rushed to the front of the penalty area and took a long shot and failed to suppress it.

In the 4th minute, Arsenal once again attacked outside Liverpool's penalty area, still with a long-range shot. Cazorla received Griezmann's oblique return pass from the top of the arc outside the penalty area and kicked a long-range shot, which was saved by Mignolet.

"Today's arsenal started very strong." Andy Gray's voice just fell to Arsenal and completed the third goal of the game.

For a tactical corner kick, Cazorla passed the ball to Sanchez, who sent it into the penalty area. Koscielny shot high in front of the goal, but Arsenal's attack was still not over.

Immediately, Liverpool took a goal kick, and the ball came to Kolo Toure's feet. The old Arsenal player made a fatal mistake because he was too sticky and was intercepted by Arsenal to counterattack.

After receiving a pass from Mignolet, Kolo Toure wanted to attack with the ball, but was intercepted by Ramsey. After stealing the ball, Ramsey immediately attacked Liverpool's penalty area and successfully entered the penalty area to complete the shot.

It's just that Ramsey's shot was too angled and was blocked by Mignolet. The blocked ball did not fly out of the baseline and was still in the Liverpool penalty area.

Giroud also rushed to the ball at the first time, but someone was faster than Giroud, Kolo Toure, the Liverpool defender who had just made a mistake, had retreated to the penalty area and cleared the ball before Giroud.

Then Liverpool wanted to fight back, but the ball was cut off by Arsenal again. Although Arsenal completed another shot, the ball did not hit the goal frame.

In the first 10 minutes, Arsenal almost pressed Liverpool at halftime, but it was not over. No. 12 minutes, the previous situation was almost repeated.

But this time it was not Kolo Toure who was intercepted, but another central defender Sakho, and it was Ramsey who completed the steal. This time Ramsey made a different choice. He chose to pass the ball to Giroud.

But unfortunately, the linesman stopped Arsenal's attack because Giroud was in an offside position at the moment Ramsey passed the ball.

No.15 minutes, Giroud finally completed his first attack in the game, from Sanchez's wing pass, Giroud overwhelmed Kolo Touré with a header and slammed the goal slightly wide.

After 5 minutes, Liverpool finally completed the first shot of the game. It was a shot from the second generation of the British Emperor Star. Coutinho sent a direct pass. Markovic knocked the ball into the penalty area. Sterling caught up with the ball at high speed and completed the shot before Koscielny came to defend.

This shot was directly confiscated by Li Shou, and then Li Shou also instigated a wave of Arsenal's counterattack. Li Shou threw the ball to Monreal, who directly passed to find Griezmann, and the French gave the ball to Giroud.

Giroud took the ball and wanted to force Kolo Touré to rush into the penalty area, but failed. In this case, Giroud chose to pass the ball to Cazorla, who dunked the ball past Emrejan and then missed the goal again.
