After Liverpool advanced to the top [-] of the Champions League, Beitu did not give the team a holiday.
Because the Merseyside Derby is coming soon, everyone who can run and move in the Red Army must actively prepare for the battle against the rival Everton in the same city.
But the focus of this round is not the Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton, but the London City Derby. Arsenal sits in Highbury and faces the Blues Chelsea.
Despite the dilemma, Professor Arsene Wenger still trusts the critic Almunia as the starting goalkeeper, and the latter has made mistakes in each of the last three games.
Not only that, Vieira was suspended and absent, Gilberto Silva, Edu and Xigang were all absent due to injuries, Cesc Fabregas and Flamini partnered in the middle of the midfield, and Ljungberg was also suspended due to acute migraine. Pires replaced, Lauren also returned to the starting lineup after the Champions League.
But Mourinho's Chelsea got a break because of the last round of the Champions League (one round ahead of schedule), so the young coach very much hopes to lead this stable blue team to a victory in the league-since 1996, Chelsea have won The Gunners have never won in 15 league games.
Arsenal took the lead after 73 seconds, Cesc Fabregas played a long pass from midfield, Henry headed past Reyes from the edge of the box, and the Spaniard headed back to beat the Frenchman.Carvalho and Terry were out of position, and the unguarded Henry volleyed into the far corner with his left foot. This was his 14th league goal of the season.
Henry's volley surprised everyone, and the gun fans present saw the confidence to return to the top of the list.
Chelsea fought back aggressively from behind, completely dominating the midfield, while leaders Arsenal waited for an opportunity to counterattack.
In the 17th minute, the captain of the blue team made up for his mistakes.
Teenager Robben took a corner kick on the right, and Terry shook his head from 6 yards in front of the goal and scored the net.
Interestingly, when Wenger recalled the ball after the game, he mentioned Tang Wu between the lines of regret.
The reason is simple, the ball hit Almunia's left hand and bounced into the net.With the strength shown by Tang Wu today, if the ball hits Tang Wu's left hand, maybe Tang Wu will catch it.
After Chelsea equalized, Arsenal scored a controversial goal in the 29th minute.
Lampard fouled Pires in front of the penalty area. The Chelsea wall has not yet been lined up. The referee Poll is consulting Henry with a free kick at this time. Henry suddenly bounces the ball and shoots the lower left corner. Cech is directing the wall. He didn't react in time, although he made a save, the ball still went into the net, and Henry also scored his 15th league goal of the season.
Such an inclination towards the home team's goals naturally aroused Chelsea's dissatisfaction.
Although surrounded by a group of blue players, the referee Ball insisted that the goal was valid, and gave the young and vigorous Robben a topaz card.
In the last 10 minutes of the first half, Arsenal worked hard to restrain Duff and Robben, which made Chelsea unable to organize a threatening offensive, and the two sides focused more on the fierce competition in the midfield.
In this way, with a score of 2 to 1, the two sides entered the intermission.
Mourinho made adjustments in the second half, Drogba and Bridge replaced Thiago and Carvalho respectively, Chelsea changed the formation from 433 to 442.
After Chelsea's substitutions, it actually achieved the same effect as the Red Army's in the second half of the Champions League.People have to admire Mourinho and Benitez, they deserve to be the champion coaches of last season's Champions League and Europa League.
Only 30 seconds into the opening of the second half, Chelsea Lampard passed a free kick from the left to the far point.Gallas headed back to the goal, Drogba grabbed the ball from 6 yards in front of the goal, and the ball flew into the far corner of the goal with a strange arc.
At the last moment of the game, Flamini was slammed by Parker and fell into the penalty area. The referee Ball refused to award a penalty.
In this way, the two sides shook hands with a score of 2 to 2.
The score of 2 to 2 cannot but be said to be a reasonable result.
Although Wenger felt a little frustrated because his team led twice and was tied twice because of set kicks; although Mourinho also felt a little frustrated because his team performed better than their opponents more times. outstanding.But is this result acceptable?Both of them will probably give an affirmative answer.
It was a verdict, one without cruelty.
Judging who is stronger, not who is better, both teams will leave the field thinking they are stronger; judging who wins, not who is prettier, neither team counts nine 10 minutes as one A reception, but a war.
In this game, the gunner took off his uniform and put on a military uniform.Show a high degree of concentration and teamwork spirit to deal with the Blues who are guests.
This is undoubtedly a very positive signal.
It symbolizes that today's Premier League is not the world of the Gunners alone.
While history continues, Chelsea are yet to claim a league win at Highbury.But Mourinho and his Chelsea undoubtedly saw hope after the game. For Mourinho and Drogba, they also proved once again that they are special.
After the game, Drogba said in the face of the camera: "Mourinho once told me that I am one of the three most powerful strikers in the world today. The other two are Henry and Ronaldo."
A draw did not change the Premier League's first and second positions, but it made the Premier League even more stalemate.
Both Manchester United and Newcastle saw the hope of regaining four in the second half, and Liverpool and Everton even saw the possibility of winning the championship.
On December 12, there was a lot of people outside Goodison Park.
It was packed with fans, all from Liverpool.It's just that among these Liverpool fans, some are Liverpool fans and some are Everton fans.
Just as the players on both sides were warming up, the Italian "Turin Sports News" announced the winner of the "Golden Boy Award".
This year's Golden Boy Award, Lu Xiaopang defeated teammate Ronaldinho, Atletico Madrid striker Torres, Chelsea's Robben, Inter Milan's Martins, Anderlecht's Kompany and Liverpool's Tang Wu, etc. With a high score of 233 points, he won the Golden Boy Award.
No.2 is Ronaldinho, also from Manchester United, only 40 points lower than Rooney.
The results of the two are well-deserved, both in the club and the national team have wonderful performances.
Since the selection of the Golden Boy Award is selected by 30 well-known media in Europe, the highest score for each player is 10 points.What's interesting is that Italy's "Gazzetta dello Sport" and "Corriere dello Sport" both gave Rooney full marks, but Spain's "Marca" and "Aspen" both gave Rooney 0 points. The reason must be because Not long ago, Rooney's poor performance in the Spain VS England friendly.
The golden boy and the silver boy are well-deserved, but the No.3 bronze boy really surprised some fans and the media.But after thinking about it carefully, I think it makes sense.
Because the young player who won No.3 turned out to be Tang Wu.
He is only less than 10 points lower than Ronaldinho.
Since Tang Wu's position is the goalkeeper, he is inherently inferior to players like forwards in the competition.Therefore, many media have expressed their views that Tang Wuneng's selection into the top 20 is already a blessing, and most of it is even due to Liverpool's good defense in recent days.
Some media even predicted that Tang Wu's final score would be either the bottom one, or the [-]th or [-]th.
But who would have thought that Tang Wu's barb shot stunned all the media and fans in Europe. For the first time, they saw the world's top striker in a goalkeeper.
Perhaps Tang Wu once played as a striker, but that was all about the year of the monkey.Moreover, with Tang Wu's current physical data and the skills he has mastered, if he were to play a striker, he would be a domestic striker at best, and he would not be considered elegant in Europe.
This is the consensus among all media and coaches in Europe.
But at the same time, no one can deny the moment when Tang Wu hit the barb. I'm afraid even Ronaldo couldn't stretch his body well, and Batty couldn't shoot an extremely powerful shot in that posture.
At that moment, Tang Wu's [-]% was worthy of the words "the world's top striker".Of course, only at that moment.
When the news came back to Liverpool, there was once again joy inside and outside Anfield.
Not to mention that the top three players in the Golden Boy Awards are all Premier League players, Tang Wu also won the third crown as a goalkeeper. How can the fans not be excited?
In front of the main gate of Goodison Park, a reporter from the BBC received the news in his headset.
In order to catch the heat, the reporter randomly "caught" an old man on the street and asked, "Hello, are you a Liverpool fan or an Everton fan?"
