Four days after Liverpool won the Carabao Cup from the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, the team travelled to take on Leeds United.

Although Murphy's 21st-minute goal opened the scoring for Liverpool, Leeds then went on to equalise with Alan Smith and Viduka, but Kuyt's goal equalised for Liverpool in the 43rd minute.

There was not much improvement in the second half, and Liverpool were also very tired, apparently slackening after winning the Carabao Cup, even if they were replaced by an all-round substitute in the end, Ronaldo could not change the situation, and finally drew 2-2 away to Leeds United.

Arsenal beat Charlton Athletic 2-1 at home but the Gunners were not in a good position either, taking the lead in the second and fourth minutes through Pire's free-kicks and Thierry Henry's fast attack, but Charlton played better than Arsenal for the rest of the game and pulled a goal back in the second half.

As a result, the 27 rounds of make-up matches are over, and Liverpool are three points behind Arsenal.

Yang Cheng didn't react much to this result.

"I don't think it's anything, it's only three points, don't forget, we have a league game against Arsenal, we will fill those three points at Highbury Stadium, as for Arsenal, they better pray to God that they won't drop any more points in the future!"

After the end of the league play-up, Liverpool met Steve Bruce's Birmingham in the FA Cup round of 8 draw, and finally Liverpool lost 0:1 away to Birmingham and was eliminated in the FA Cup.

But three days later, Liverpool, who had a refreshed squad, beat Ligue 1 Marseille 2-0 at their home stadium to establish 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, Arsenal also defeated Blackburn Rovers 2-0 away, and Chelsea defeated Bolton Wanderers 2-0 away, and all three teams won the opponent smoothly.

However, Manchester United unexpectedly lost 1:4 away to rivals Manchester City in the Manchester derby.

In this game, the problems of the Ferguson team were completely exposed, and the loss of midfield made it very easy for them to advance the ball and defend easily, especially after Giggs was absent, Keegan seized on this and chased Manchester United hard, and finally won this derby victory.

In the aftermath of the defeat, Ferguson has publicly stated that United have lost the title of the season and that he believes the Premier League title will be contested 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 title, so I think Arsenal will have the last laugh, but Arsene Wenger's team has a big problem, that is, their squad is not thick enough, but Arsenal are currently in the Champions League, league and FA Cup, I think this is a big hidden danger."

"On the other hand, looking at Liverpool, it is obvious that Yang Cheng played in the FA Cup with a full substitute lineup after getting the League Cup, and lost to Birmingham, that is because he focused all his energy on the League Cup and the league, although the League Cup is full of strong teams this season, but the pressure is always less than the Champions League, and it is difficult to guarantee that Yang Cheng will not give up the League Cup and win the league championship with all his heart!"

But the reporter quickly laughed and reminded Ferguson that his team was in charge of the championship.

In the 30th round, Manchester United took on Arsenal away, in the 35th round, Liverpool played Manchester United away, and in the 32nd round, Liverpool played Arsenal away, forming the three high-profile battles for the title this season, as any one game could affect the trend of the league title.

In the 29th round of the league, Liverpool beat Wolves 3-0 at home after a week's rest, and Arsenal also beat Bolton Wanderers 2-1 at their own home, and the two teams continued to maintain the momentum of going hand in hand.

In midweek, Liverpool went to France to challenge Marseille, and the two sides drew 1:1, and Liverpool eliminated the Ligue 1 powerhouse with an aggregate score of 3:1 and successfully reached the last eight of the League Cup.

Liverpool's opponent in the last eight is Benfica from Portugal.

Back to the Premier League, in the 30th round, Arsenal sat at Highbury Stadium to meet the challenge of Manchester United, although Henry scored for Arsenal in the first half, but Saha's last-minute goal allowed Manchester United to retire calmly from Highbury Stadium, and the two sides played a 1:1 draw.

Liverpool away to Leicester City, a team that has been aiming for relegation this season, put on an iron-clad defensive formation at their home stadium, and finally forced Liverpool to accept a 0-0 depression and missed a great opportunity to catch up with Arsenal. ,

Yang Cheng has no way to deal with this, the relegation team has always been difficult, because they will do everything they can, but Liverpool can't, they will have reservations, so many teams are reluctant to meet the relegation team, but those teams that go ashore are much better.

After a week's rest, Liverpool sat on their home turf and welcomed Blackburn.

Yang Cheng's side scored a crucial victory with a clean 4-0 win over Blackburn Rovers at their home stadium.

As a rival, Arsenal was surrounded by the other side in Portsmouth, and the two sides ended up in a 1-1 draw, which once again confirmed one thing, the team aiming for relegation is an unreasonable madman.

At the end of this game, Liverpool began to usher in a crucial showdown with Arsenal.

…………

…………

'Arsenal are a very good team, they have a great squad......

At the pre-match press conference, Yang Cheng smiled at the media to talk about his next opponent, Arsenal, and he has been following his usual style, first giving some praise, and then, the conversation changed.

"But, be careful, it's just the main lineup!"

The following reporters immediately followed the riot, as soon as Yang Cheng's words went out, it would definitely cause a burst of criticism and accusations, this guy is like Ferguson, he likes to fan the flames.

"Everyone knows that a team with a strong bench is likely to get better results, of course, I don't rule out that some teams can win the title with the main team, but this is not realistic, there will always be injuries and attrition, which is inevitable, but Arsenal have not done a good job in this area."

'Look at our bench, look at the bench for Manchester United, look at the Chelsea bench and then go back and look at the Arsenal bench, I don't understand why Wenger didn't work more on that? Yang Cheng was skeptical.

The money to bring in Reyes was enough for Arsene Wenger to bring in two or three good bench players, but he didn't.

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

"The absence of Gilberto and Edu will be a turning point in the season, and Arsene Wenger will pay a terrible price because he doesn't pay enough attention to the substitutes!"

Yang Cheng's remarks are actually not new, in England, many media have commented on Wenger's recruitment strategy, believing that too much underestimation of bench thickness is his biggest drawback.

Not to mention anything else, the bench with Liverpool is full of powerful stars such as Murphy, Hamann, and Kuyt, who is on the bench at Arsenal? Cesc Fabregas, Senderos, Reyes, these people are either too young, they lack the training to play, or they just don't fit into the Premier League.

"Mr. Yang Cheng, you have beaten Arsenal twice this season, and Arsene Wenger said this time that he wants to beat Liverpool at Highbury Stadium for revenge, what do you think?" A reporter asked with a smile.

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

"Why?"

"I'm going to eat him!" Yang Cheng said with a smile, but did not directly say the reason.

Obviously, Yang Cheng is playing dumb riddles, and before the game, no one will say the other party's biggest loophole, right?

'What I can say is that we at Liverpool are very confident in this game, playing Arsenal we have a psychological advantage and we will have a very good result at Highbury Stadium.

After a pause, Yang Cheng stood up and said confidently to the reporters below: "Before this game, the league leader was Arsenal, and after this game, the league champion is our Liverpool!" ”

With that, he turned around and left.

…………

"If Wenger hears this, he will definitely be so angry that you will bleed!" Benitez looked at the broadcast of Yang Cheng's words on TV and said with a smile.

The Spaniards will not attack their opponents as openly as Yang Cheng, although it is a war of words, but Benitez will not do this kind of thing, playing lip service has never been his strong point, but Yang Cheng comes out from time to time to fight with others.

"That's best, I hope the whole Arsenal team wants to kill me!" Yang Cheng didn't mind at all. , this is a combat strategy of Yang Cheng.

At this point, neither side of the game can hide anything. With Arsenal's Gilberto and Edu out and Liverpool's Steven Gerrard and Finnan out, both teams have injuries and it can't be said who has taken advantage, but Liverpool have an advantage, and that is that the bench is thick enough.

"There is a very special phenomenon in this Arsenal team!" Paul Beyer took over Yang Cheng's words, "They are very good at playing downwind, but they can only play downwind, coupled with their control style of play this season, so that they can kick smoothly, any result, any scene." ”

"But their style of play is soft, and they lack the strength to control the game, so that they will be chaotic when they fall behind, and when they are messy, the game will become very irritable, Vieira is a typical example, he has eaten so many red cards, he just doesn't learn to be obedient, why? Environment! ”

"Another point, I think Arsenal also lack concentration, are too freewheeling, are easily provoked, and are influenced by the outside world!"

Paul Byer's words were immediately confirmed by Tim Hank.

"So they've had the most referee complaints over the past few seasons, much more than any other team."

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

Wenger himself is a very French Frenchman, and the players in the team, Henry, Pire, Bergkamp, and Ljungberg are also this type of players, even Vieira, who has the most red cards in the Premier League, he actually plays with a French flavor, so Florentino will give up Makelele, who lacks French flavor, for him.

For this game, with Gerrard out injured, Yang Cheng has decided to make adjustments.

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

Up front is the trident of Didier Drogba, Arjen Robben and Cristiano Ronaldo, followed by a midfield trio of Davies, Carrick and Essien, with Reese, Hyypia, Carragher and Glen Johnson at the back, and Reyna in goal.

Since the Spanish goalkeeper replaced Dudek as the position, although his performance is not very consistent, at least it is much more reliable than the Pole, coupled with his youth and potential, Yang Cheng is happy to let him continue to hone in his position.

This is Liverpool's first trident this season, and Yang Cheng is certainly hoping to make a difference.

And with Gilberto and Edu out of the line-up, the protection of Arsenal's backline is bound to suffer.

Just when everyone was talking, Yang Cheng received a message, which was about Wenger's counterattack to Yang Cheng's words when he was just interviewed by the media, he believed that his team was very unfavorable in the schedule, always facing strong opponents in the process of European competitions, and Liverpool took advantage of the schedule.

Arsenal are in a disadvantageous position as they were knocked out of the Champions League quarter-finals by Claudio Ranieri's Chelsea the day before yesterday, which knocked the Gunners out of European competition altogether, but even more tragic was the 1-0 defeat at home to Manchester United in the FA Cup on 3 April.

In just 10 days, two consecutive defeats led to the Gunners losing on two fronts, which left Arsenal currently only with one league title to compete for, so Arsene Wenger also attaches great importance to the next league game.

Yang Cheng saw Wenger's comment, immediately laughed, and fought back on his Weibo.

"I kind of heard what Mr. Wenger meant, and I think the Premier League schedule for next season should be like this, let UEFA first set the Champions League schedule, and then send the schedule to Mr. Wenger's office, let Mr. Wenger and his assistants discuss it well, determine the Arsenal schedule, and then finalize the schedules of other teams."

"Well, I think that's good, I believe that if the schedule is arranged like this, Arsenal should be able to win the Champions League, it will be the result of the efforts of all the teams and all the managers in the Premier League, I support it!"

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

"There is such a saying in my motherland, the horses produced in the south with a mild climate are very good-looking, but they are not strong enough to withstand the cold storms and snowstorms in the north, although the horses produced in the bitter cold north are not good-looking, but they are better than being able to bear hardships and stand hard work, because of this, so in the ancient war period, almost all the war horses came from the north, and the horses in the south were just good-looking!" , Yang Cheng liked Weibo a lot in his previous life, and after crossing over, he is a typical Weibo control, and now he has more than 10 million fans on Weibo, and he is still the celebrity with the largest number of Weibo fans in the world. Just as Yang Cheng's Weibo was issued, it didn't take long for a message that he paid attention to came.

"Little brother is so free, come and accompany my sister, I miss you!" A resentful expression in the back comes from Aniston's Weibo.

As soon as it was refreshed, a group of fans followed suit, which was nothing more than that Aniston confessed to Yang Cheng on Weibo.

A fan on Yang Cheng's side immediately logged out, "Caesar's eight spirits burst out, and America's sweetheart is rippling." ”

Yang Cheng looked straight at it and smiled, he and Aniston are nothing, since the last incident, both of them treated them as if they were nothing, and they didn't mention it, she had been to Liverpool two or three times during this time, Yang Cheng entertained her, and occasionally flirted on Weibo, which was quite enjoyable.

first made a sweaty expression, "Sister, how can such a secret thing be told in such a non-secret way?" ”

Here is another group of fans following the trend, which is nothing more than Yang Cheng and Aniston.

"Who made you forget me, lonely!" Aniston replied immediately.

It's too ambiguous, it's too sensual!

The coaching staff in the distance knew when they saw Yang Cheng's expression that this was playing Weibo again.

This product is messing around with flowers and grass, and it is ambiguous with anyone.

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

"Who believes it!" Everyone shook their heads in unison.

…………

…………

Yang Cheng's bombardment of Wenger on Weibo quickly spread.

That's the benefit of Weibo, because if you use a newspaper, you'll have to wait until tomorrow, but Weibo, it works immediately, and then the radio, TV, and newspapers all compete for attention, and that's how flavorful this thing is.

And head coaches all over the world play Weibo, Yang Cheng is the best at it, Ferguson, Wenger or something, they can't play this thing.

There is no doubt that when everyone sees the first one, they will feel that Yang Cheng is fighting back, and when it comes to the second one, it is simply cynical.

After reading it, everyone knows that Yang Cheng is satirizing Arsenal as a horse in the south, good-looking but useless, while Liverpool is a horse in the north, not very good-looking, but able to fight.

This immediately caused an uproar, and Arsenal came out to meet them, not allowing Yang Cheng to blame their manager, among which Vieira, Henry and others even threatened to beat Yang Cheng and his Liverpool at Highbury Stadium.

"We're going to let them live a nightmare when it's his hard mouth, or if it's our hard feet!"

successfully aroused the anger of Arsenal, but Yang Cheng did not continue to fan the flames, nor did he continue to engage in a war of words, but let the outside world hype, refused some interviews, isolated Liverpool from top to bottom, and devoted himself to preparing for the game at Highbury Stadium the next day.

According to The Times' preview, this will be the final battle to decide the Premier League title this season, and whoever can get a win at Highbury Stadium will have the best chance of winning the Premier League title this season! (To be continued) [This text is provided by the Ghost of Sailing]
