Situ Yunbing's remarks before the top war were somewhat aggressive.
However, klopp didn't mind. When asked about situ Yunbing's evaluation of Arsenal in an interview before the game, klopp nodded and said: "we don't grasp the truth in some things. Just as he thinks Arsenal still has a long way to go, I think so. We still have great potential and still have high room for improvement.
In the past few months, we have made some progress. Even a little progress will excite me and everyone in the team, which is one of the reasons why we did well.
Maybe we will get better in the future, maybe not, but it's not about the upcoming game!
Going to Anfield will be a difficult battle for Arsenal, but we are ready to meet the challenge!
Talking about winning the championship will only put us under great pressure. We will put down these pressures and try to perform better than in the past.
Of course we want to win, but even if we don't win, it won't be the end of the world!
It's only January, not may. "
Klopp has never been an arrogant manager, so whether evaluating his team or looking at the gap between Arsenal and Liverpool, the six points in the table can not be fully reflected.
Like many times, the gap between the champion and the runner up will not exceed 10 points, but the gap between the champion and the runner up will never be the difference. Those points can be analyzed and concluded!
Klopper knows very well how far away he takes over Arsenal from the championship!
This is no better than the Premier League pattern when situ Yunbing took over Liverpool.
At that time, the defending champion Manchester City was distracted from the European war, and the morale of the team was unstable. The competitiveness of the defending champion led by Mancini decreased significantly. The rebuilt Chelsea and Arsene Wenger's Arsenal were also unable to attack the championship. The only enemy of Liverpool was Manchester United. Liverpool was in an advantageous position because they had failed for a long time and would not be noticed by their opponents, The whole competitive environment provides good conditions for Liverpool's strong rise.
Although the team of Arsenal taken over by klopp is much better than that of Liverpool taken over by situ Yunbing, if the comparison of the lineup after the introduction of situ Yunbing is insufficient, coupled with the defending champion of the Premier League, Liverpool is now a mountain to look up to in the hearts of many giants!
Just because of the unbeaten record of more than half a season so far in the new season, it is difficult for Arsenal to counter attack and win the title.
In other words, now that Arsenal are only six points behind Liverpool, klopper has played an extraordinary role.
I'm afraid Arsenal's record would not have been very good if it hadn't been for Arsenal's failure in the past years.
The future will be more difficult because now other teams have noticed the changes that have taken place in Arsenal.
take a heavy burden and embark on a long road!
On January 12, Liverpool welcomed Arsenal at Anfield.
After recuperation in early January, Liverpool are looking forward to the top game in high spirits!
The devil's performance of 1 win, 3 draws and 6 points lost in the schedule has somewhat stimulated the main team of Liverpool. They urgently need to win and win against strong teams to consolidate their leading advantage and prove their dominant position in the Jianghu at the same time!
The Anfield stadium is full. It's hard to get a vote for today's game.
Situ Yunbing hugged klopper on the sideline. When shaking hands, situ Yunbing whispered to klopper: "you should know better than me that Arsenal's next season will be much more difficult than this season!"
Klopp nodded solemnly and said to situ Yunbing, "isn't that how you came here? What am I afraid of? "
Situ Yunbing smiled knowingly.
Next season, other teams will look at Arsenal differently.
Next season, another God will come to the Premier League!
Guardiola!
Regardless of the success or failure of this season, I'm afraid the Premier League next season will usher in the "battle of gods"!
Before the start of the game, Gareth bell showed his golden ball award to the fans on the pitch and enjoyed the cheers of the fans. Situ Yunbing applauded him again on the sidelines and was sincerely proud of him.
Then the starting players of the two teams entered the field, and the Anfield audience focused on the upcoming game. The atmosphere was hot and cheers were heard.
"Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to the 21st round of the Premier League, Liverpool vs Arsenal at Anfield!
This duel was a bit unexpected, because before that, I'm afraid no one thought Arsenal would play the role of chasing Liverpool, but klopp's team came behind Liverpool with their excellent performance in the Christmas devil schedule. At present, they are only 6 points behind Liverpool in the championship!
If Arsenal can beat Liverpool away, I think it will definitely be a big news in the world football world!
Because Liverpool have not been defeated by their opponents in any home game for more than three and a half years since situ Yunbing took office!
In situ Yunbing's personal coaching career resume, he has not lost at home for more than seven years since October 2008!
Whenever the media takes stock of situ Yunbing's coaching achievements, they always mention a French coach, that is, old Gourcuff. In situ Yunbing's coaching career, only old Gourcuff made situ Yunbing lose at home, and that was the first show of situ Yunbing's coaching career!
Hehe, I'm afraid this will become the most interesting point in situ Yunbing's legendary coaching career.
Now let's introduce the starting lineup of both sides.
Liverpool started 433 at home
Goalkeeper: telstegen.
Defenders: azpiliquetta, kulibali, benatia, Robertson.
Midfield: Eriksson, Cantor, Camero.
Forwards: Gareth bell, levandovsky, kutinio.
Arsenal also started today at 433
Goalkeeper: Cech.
Defenders: bellelin, koscielny, mertesack, Monreale.
Midfield: Milner, Ramsey, vernaldum.
Forwards: Sanchez, girou, fermino.
Klopp's abandonment of Ozil has triggered speculation on Fleet Street that Ozil will leave the team in the summer. Although klopp did not admit it, according to internal news from Arsenal, it is claimed that Ozil's negative effect on defense is the main reason for klopp's abandonment of him.
Although it has caused controversy before, with Arsenal's four consecutive victories in the Christmas devil schedule, especially after beating Manchester City, more and more voices support klopp. He is restoring Arsenal's tough style ten years ago, which is also a long-awaited scene!
The good news is that once Ozil leaves the team, the cash back can help klopp have more options in the summer!
Well, the kick-off ceremony before the game between the two teams has been completed. Next, let's watch the top game!
Can Arsenal work miracles? "
With the referee's whistle, the curtain of war opened!
Liverpool, who took the lead in kickoff, did not raise the rhythm to the top as soon as they came up, but accelerated step by step!
Arsenal put on a tight posture in the middle and front court and tight defense in the back court.
Situ Yunbing admired klopp's courage and determination to abandon Ozil.
After all, Ozil is the top salary in Arsenal!
Abandoning him is tantamount to idling the club's most valuable resources, which is tantamount to waste!
At the same time, once the record fails to meet expectations, the opposition from all sides will be more powerful. It is likely that Ozil will be kicked out before he leaves Arsenal, because the cost of changing the coach is much lower than that of changing the player!
Abandoning Ozil completely bid farewell to Arsene Wenger's "artistic style", which means that klopp has officially begun to build a new gunner of his Iron Army Style!
As for Ozil's own ability, there is no doubt that it is nothing more than the wrong style. If clop is a cook and his best skill is making seafood dinner, he will certainly throw away the pigs, cattle and sheep in the food under him first.
Ozil can bring creativity to Arsenal, but the problem is that he has little contribution to defense. How to weigh the pros and cons between such a loss and his contribution to creativity?
Klopper has made his decision. Ozil is no longer the player he relies on. Even because of his high salary, klopper will be the object that must be cleaned after he enters the Emirates Stadium, and then go to find his favorite, low-cost star.
In the fifth minute of the game, Liverpool's front court attack suddenly accelerated again. In the middle, they encountered a crazy encirclement and suppression by their opponents, resulting in a situation that could not be opened. They moved to the side attack. When Gareth bell stopped the ball in front of Montreal, Vinal dum came to help defend, and Gareth bell quickly knocked the ball back.
Azpiliquetta assists and transfers the ball to the left under the interference of fermino.
Cutinho cut across the front left of the restricted area and directly volleyed the ball to the middle of the restricted area.
Levandovsky was interfered by mertesack's physical confrontation in the reception, which led to levandovsky's mistake of stopping the ball, and koscielny looked around and broke the ball at the right time.
After Arsenal's overall style became strong, first of all, they improved the space compression in defense, and then the team's defense became stronger.
This is also the main reason for their rapid progress, otherwise how to cut Manchester City!
When Arsenal attack, their magic weapon is fast attack!
Ramsey and Milner quickly hit the wall in the backcourt and dodged the counter attack from Eriksson. Ramsey skewed the ball to find Sanchez. The latter saw Casimiro's side defense during the fast ball advance, and he immediately crossed the side 45 degrees.
But the ball was not passed to the hinterland of the penalty area, but on the line of the penalty area.
Jilu didn't move forward, but he withdrew and took off first in the reception. The header ferry was looking for fermino!
Cantor can't do anything with this aerial ball!
Fermino stopped the ball in the chest from the front left of the restricted area, and then ran into the left rib of the restricted area. He shot directly before van Dijk came to block it!
The angle is not very good. Telstegen easily hugged the ball!
Arsenal took the lead in shooting within the goal range!
