Liverpool goalkeeper Cech, defender Gomez, Skrtel, Lovren, Klein, midfielder Milner, Lucas, Coutinho, Emrejan, striker Firmino, Bentec.
Liverpool’s lineup has undergone tremendous changes from the first half of the season. Most of the players introduced this season have also started in this game. In fact, Li Shou didn’t know that if it were not for his appearance, Cech would be a transfer to Arsenal this summer.
But the current Arsenal do not need to introduce a goalkeeper, even if Cech comes to Arsenal, he will certainly not be able to shake the position of Li Shou, so the transfer to Liverpool is also a good thing for Cech, at least he does not need to sit on the bench.
Cech is old, but Cech’s state is not a problem. If Cech’s contributions to Chelsea were not considered, Chelsea and Mourinho would never allow Cech to move to Liverpool.
The referee is Oliver. This young referee is no stranger to both sides. No, it should be said that the Premier League team is no stranger. Moreover, Oliver has been the main referee in recent years.
With Oliver's whistle, the game officially began. With Arsenal's kick-off, Giroud returned Cazorla, who sent it to Ramsey's feet.
The three strikers began to rush into the Liverpool half, and Ramsey with the ball gradually rushed towards Liverpool’s half. Although Liverpool seems to have further strengthened, the Arsenal players do not think they are worse than their opponents. The triple crown has greatly improved the confidence of the players.
However, Arsenal's first wave of attacks failed to form a real shot. When Ramsey passed the ball to Griezmann, it was intercepted by Lucas, and Liverpool launched a counterattack.
After stealing the ball, Lucas made a long pass to Benteke, who flew the header to Emrejan, who came to the side of the penalty area along the wing and sent the ball into the penalty area.
Benteke, this Belgian center performed well at Villa, which attracted the attention of Liverpool, which lacked forwards. In order to get this center forward, Liverpool directly activated Benteke's penalty clause.
However, it is impossible for Benteke to easily attack the goal. Koscielny entangled the center, and under Koscielny's entanglement, Benteke's header missed the goal.
Li Shou everyone drove the goal kick, but Giroud failed to win the ball, the ball came to Liverpool's feet again, Liverpool hit back again, this time still sent the ball to Benteke's head.
This time Benteke did not attack the goal by himself, because his position was too far away from the goal, not the goal, so he chose to knock the ball back to Coutinho who came in from behind.
Coutinho, who received Benteke’s back knock, slightly adjusted his long shot. Although Coutinho’s long shot was more threatening than Benteke’s header, the threat was also very limited, because Coutinho The position of this long shot was too right, plus the distance from the goal, the ball was directly confiscated by Li Shou.
Shou Lee threw the ball to Monreal, who went straight into Liverpool's half court along the wing. Griezmann immediately pulled the side to celebrate, and then the two made a wall hit and Monreal rushed to the bottom line to finish. Pass.
Arsenal's first goal was also a header, and it was also a non-threatening header. Giroud did not fight for the ball, the ball flew to the back point, Sanchez hit the top at high speed, the ball directly deviated from the goal and flew out of the baseline.
Although there was no threat in the first wave of attack, Arsenal soon made a comeback, or Sanchez made a comeback. Under the pressure of Arsenal players, Lucas passed back to Scotter, and the ball was cut off by Sanchez.
After stealing the ball, Sanchez immediately rushed into the Liverpool penalty area with the ball. Although Liverpool reacted quickly, Lovren immediately rushed to Sanchez, but this did not stop Sanchez from kicking the goal.
"Near angle~~~ or close angle" This time Sanchez didn't hit the ball on the side. This was a very good shot, an absolute dead end.
"The ball~~~ didn't score~~~ Cech~~ Peter Cech~~~ The Liverpool goalkeeper blocked Sanchez and almost made a shot. When the ball was about to cross the goal line, one was not in the eyes of the Arsenal The big hand that should appear appeared in front of the ball.
"Cech~~~ I don't know if Chelsea will regret after seeing Cech's save." Whether it is Arsenal or Liverpool, Chelsea's mortal enemy.
For the arrival of Cech, Liverpool fans were not very welcome at the beginning, but nothing can escape from a law of truth, and Liverpool fans are now "sweet".
Cech contributed to Liverpool’s first two rounds of victory. Liverpool had only one goal in the first two rounds, and the opponent did not have the opportunity to threaten Liverpool’s goal.
In contrast, Chelsea's start of the season was a bit miserable. Courtois left the game with a red card in the first game. As a result, Chelsea directly lost 0:2.
If Cech was there, Chelsea would not lose so badly. This was proved in the second round. Facing Manchester City, Chelsea lost a clean 0:3.
After the two-game losing streak, Chelsea fans began to miss Cech, and the media will naturally not let go of this opportunity, but Cech joining Liverpool is a foregone conclusion, even if Mourinho regrets it again, it will not help.
Besides, it is impossible for Cech to be a substitute for Courtois at Chelsea, or he would not transfer to Liverpool.
Chelsea won in the third round. But it was very difficult to win, and it was almost impossible to win. In the 54th minute, Chelsea captain Terry was sent off by the referee with a red card. Fortunately, Chelsea The opponent is West Brom, not strong.
………………………….
On the sidelines, watching Cech's wonderful save, Rogers felt that he had made an extremely correct decision. In Rogers' view, if Minholet started the game, then the team is already behind.
"Equally matched" From the opening ten points, it seems that the two sides played in this game are related.
And then it proved this point. In the nineteenth minute, Liverpool threatened Arsenal's goal again. This time Liverpool's shot also forced Li Shou to make a wonderful save.
In the twenty-fourth minute, Arsenal gave another kick, and Cazorla crossed Griezmann from the wing. The latter carried Lovren and pushed the far corner and was again saved by Cech.
Then Arsenal had a chance to take a tactical corner kick. The ball came to Coquelin’s feet. The latter took the ball and fired a nearly 30-meter heavy artillery. This time Cech failed to make a save, but the goal crossbar blocked Coquilin. Lin is bound to get a long shot.
