Chapter 268
Tang Wu is not from Liverpool, so he naturally doesn't have any grudges between Liverpool and Everton in his heart; but Tang Wu is a Liverpool player, but he can't help but watch the club being humiliated by the rivals in the same city.
Everton was "born" 14 years before Liverpool and was a founding member of the Football League and the English League.
In the early days of its establishment, the Toffees have been struggling on the verge of relegation.For so many years, although there have been league titles, the number of times they have participated in the Champions League has been very few.
The play-offs of the 63-64 season were eliminated, and the quarter-finals of the 70-71 season were eliminated. This is the only two Champions League records in Everton's history.
Such a result is completely incomparable with Liverpool, which has won 4 Champions League titles. Now that Tang Wu raised it to himself, all the Everton fans present were furious, but there was nothing he could do about Tang Wu.
This is reality!
Indisputable reality!
No matter how bumpy Liverpool's Champions League schedule is, Everton can't do it if they want to try such a "bump".Whether it is the restructuring of the Premier League or the restructuring of the Champions League, Everton simply does not know what it is like to play against top European clubs.
In this way, after Tang Wu hung the Everton team flag back, the Everton fans stepped aside, and there was no reason to stop the Liverpool players from swaggering away.
As the saying goes, the dragon falls to talk about being played by shrimps, and the tiger falls to Pingyang and is bullied by dogs.
Of course, for a league as fierce as the Premier League, the gap between the teams is not yet big enough to win.Even the giant Manchester United have often lost to relegation teams in these two seasons.
Therefore, the conflict between Liverpool and Everton is only regarded as a harmless joke by the media, and the locals of Liverpool can digest it.
But on the second day after all Liverpool members returned to the team, Professor Wenger's mouthpiece rang again.
"...It's only a matter of time before Chelsea get the player they want, but I'm not jealous of their money. On the contrary, I think it's very exciting to play against a team with such potential."
A seemingly normal sentence, if the name of "Gerrard" in the preface is included, Wenger's intention of these words will be clearly revealed.
Chelsea are currently in good form and are only 14 points behind Arsenal after 2 rounds.
Arsene Wenger and his Arsenal do have to worry about the title race, especially after Mourinho is likely to encourage boss Abramovich to sign Steven Gerrard from Liverpool in the winter transfer window, because then Chelsea's midfield would be more difficult. It can be described as "the most luxurious equipment" in the Premier League.
The professor said that these worries are not groundless. Chelsea wanted to spend 2500 million pounds to buy Gerrard at the beginning of the season, but the latter still chose to stay in the Red Army at the last moment. The twists and turns are somewhat puzzling.
But in the view of the professor, Liverpool's current record is not going well, and Gerrard, who is eager for championship honors, is likely to change his mind.Especially after his old friend Owen left for Madrid, Gerrard has no hope of getting any results this season.
The professor secretly mentioned Gerrard's situation and continued: "But Chelsea's money will not affect us, because my players are very loyal to the club."
Considering that Arsenal's next opponent is Liverpool, Wenger's remarks can basically be regarded as his usual trick to disturb the opponent's morale before the game.
The "French old fox" will not be unaware of Gerrard's importance to the Liverpool team, although the latter will make his Premier League debut after two months of absence due to injury, and all he has to do is to identify the opponent's weakness as much as possible in the game A proper "attack" in front of the team will undoubtedly help the team defeat the enemy.
In fact, it is no wonder that the professor made such a bad move. Liverpool is now a concentration camp of injuries, and Arsenal's condition is not very good.
In the last 17 minutes of the Champions League group stage in midweek, the Gunners had only 9 players left on the field.
The reason is that Hiddink's Eindhoven has two "global fighters" brought from Asia-Lee Yong-pyo and Park Ji-sung.
The two South Koreans also attracted attention across Europe when they arrived in PSV.On UEFA's official website, Lee Young-pyo is described as a left-sided surgeon with both offensive and defensive skills, while Park Ji-sung is a "free-kick expert".
In Eindhoven's main lineup, one of them is a left back and the other is a right winger, occupying a very important position.
It was the breakthrough of these two men that attracted the fouls of Lauren and Vieira, both of whom tackled the Korean with a yellow card on their backs, and then left the field with two fouls.
To be honest, the reason why stars like Vieira and Lauren have to shovel is not because of how outstanding his opponent is, but because they themselves are too tired.
Compared with Manchester United and Chelsea, the Gunners have the least rotation and the most fixed lineup.
From a positive point of view, this makes the players have a better understanding; but it is undeniable that the fatigue accumulated from long-term campaigns is also eroding Arsenal a little bit.
Coupled with the 9-man battle in the middle of the week, Arsenal's main players were exhausted.
The most obvious example is Pires, the second firepower outside of Henry last season, showing exhaustion and facing an unprecedented state crisis.
In two consecutive games in a week, Pires seems to have become an "invisible man". The 31-year-old has obviously entered a period of sluggish physical condition.Without the fast assault, the strange running backs in the past were also gone. In this game against PSV, Pires was only relying on experience and passing the ball to support.
Moreover, "the house leaks happen to rain all night", Arsenal's current team has serious injuries, Edu and Gilberto Silva's two main players are injured, and the already criticized defensive ability has been weakened again.Coupled with the fact that Campbell and Vieira are still in poor condition, Arsenal has basically conceded goals every game in the last 11 games, which has caused the team to fall into the "November Panic" again.
In the past 7 games, Arsenal has only won 1 game. The draw phenomenon is comparable to Liverpool in recent times. This is also the worst period since Arsenal lost 2002 games in a row in October 10.
In this case, the Gunners will be a guest at Anfield soon, against the Red Army without Baros and Cisse.The two teams are "sick and sympathetic", and it is a bit reluctant to expect these two teams to stay in the classic game.
But whether Liverpool or Arsenal, whether it is Benitez or Wenger, they must be pursuing the same 3 points.
Many media threatened before the game that since the game has become a duel between "Under Heaven Without Swords" and "Under Heaven Without Shields", then shaking hands and making peace may be the best destination for the two giants.
On November 11, in the player tunnel at Anfield, Tang Wu met what Wenger called "injured" Henry, and Reyes who was "out of shape".
Tang Wu stretched out his left fist and collided with the opponent's No. 15 Cesc Fabregas.
Since Tang Wu left London, the contact between the two has decreased a lot.One is because the two usually have little spare time for training in the club, and the other is because even if they have spare time, both of them will throw their energy on their girlfriends and on the bed.
"Don, we finally meet in the Premier League." The 17-year-old Xiaofa looked excited.
In the past two months, Tang Wu has only conceded two goals in all competitions, and they were still in the same game.With this alone, in the "Sun"'s selection of the top ten Premier League goalkeepers, Tang Wu's votes temporarily topped the list.
Regardless of Liverpool's form, their goalkeeper is still one of the best.
"Xiaofa, I'm not sure if you will have a chance to shoot." Tang Wu smiled confidently, "The red in this game is not something you can fight against."
"Then we'll wait and see!" Fabregas was slightly agitated.
Tang Wu grinned and said nothing.
In Xiaofa's body, Tang Wu saw the vitality of young people.Although he was only 20 years old, the two consecutive months of high-intensity and high-pressure combat had exhausted Tang Wu's brain, almost on the verge of collapse.
Bei bald also noticed this.
After the match with the Gunners, Tang Wu will take a break. After all, the final match of the Champions League group stage is the top priority.
After sorting out his mood, Tang Wu followed Gerrard and began to walk slowly.
The player tunnel was right in front of him, the captain of the Red Army suddenly slowed down, turned his head and stared into Tang Wu's eyes and said solemnly: "Tang, you have to trust me, I will not go to Chelsea."
Tang Wu didn't know why Gerrard said such a sentence to himself at this time, but he immediately adjusted his mind, winked at the other party and said: "Captain, if you really go to Chelsea, I'm afraid you will miss Liverpool's No. A Premier League title."
