The Premier League shines in the Champions League stage, Bayern narrowly beat Paris, Liverpool and Arsenal are really going head-to-head this time!

Football

Abstract: Halfway through the fourth round of the Champions League, Premier League powerhouses Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham worked together to keep their opponents clean sheet and achieved a complete victory; however, Bundesliga champions Bayern narrowly defeated the previous champion Paris in an away game, which indirectly reminded the British public opinion. Seeing that Arteta is in sight of winning the championship, Slott is suspected of ushering in a strong rebound, so the Premier League this season seems to be quite suspenseful!

Arteta is really cool. Arsenal has won ten games without conceding a goal.

Halfway through the fourth round of the Champions League, we must admit a cruel reality: the three top players in the Premier League, Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham, are purely relegated. Although the respective coaches' formations are questionable, they have kept clean sheets against Prague, Real Madrid and even Copenhagen, which vividly demonstrated their strong strength. British public opinion cheered and judged: undoubtedly they have become the most popular group to compete for the championship this season!

As far as the Premier League leader Arsenal is concerned, they lost to Liverpool and drew with Manchester City, but they have a six-point lead, which indirectly forces their competitors to seek a sense of presence in the Champions League. Fleet Street in London took advantage of the situation and ridiculed: It can be said that the loss within the dike is made up for outside the dike, right?

Mai Shi jumped in front of Ekitic and scored with a header into Real Madrid's goal

It is obvious that Liverpool and Tottenham's recent Premier League results are relatively poor, and the Champions League schedule is even more severely restricted. It is said that Slott and Frank have quite a headache. But they must hold on strong, otherwise it is unimaginable to collapse thousands of miles away. From this logical perspective, the visiting teams Real Madrid and Copenhagen in this round are like pressure reducing valves. They not only passively endure the storm at home, but also have to see the gap clearly and seek psychological balance.

In particular, Real Madrid, the leader of La Liga, lost to Anfield with one goal, while Liverpool struggled to win two consecutive games. This undoubtedly relieved the huge public pressure Sloter faced in time, and was quickly regarded as a turning point of the season by the outside world. It was really unexpected, and he was immediately praised highly.

Slott finally understood the role of Sauber, and his central dispatching in this campaign was very powerful.

For example, Manchester City football circles preconceptions that Slott insisted on starting Wirtz + substituting Ekitic in this campaign. Even though the Bundesliga champions were in good form and created valuable opportunities to score goals, it was a pity that there was a lack of center forward to support and transform, which resulted in a boring first half; On the contrary, Sauber organized and dispatched from the center, and Mai Shi stayed behind to help Hrafn build a solid barrier. He threatened Real Madrid's goal with multiple long-range shots, which was enough to ensure unbeaten.

Of course, if Liverpool is only satisfied with a draw, it seems that both sides can reluctantly accept it; but this kind of overly conservative thinking will definitely not escape the overwhelming verbal criticism after the game, so Slott cannot relax at all, and will even change his tactics, vowing to score three points.

Alonso is very popular with the British public, but Real Madrid's performance in this round of the Champions League is mediocre.

This clearly highlights the lack of experience of young coach Alonso. How can he compromise in this critical tough battle? You must know that Liverpool belongs to the kind of traditional Premier League giants who are unforgiving. There is no subconscious intention to save the opponent's face in the team's dictionary; what's more, there are rumors in the Manchester City media that Slott sternly warned the locker room before the game that winning or losing is important, but the players must obey the coach's instructions to the letter, use all their energy and go all out to suppress Real Madrid's momentum, so that the club's top brass and loyal fans can see hope and signs of a strong rebound.

Merino is an important tactical piece, and it seems that Arteta has indeed prepared multiple game plans.

From this, the Manchester City media drew a preliminary conclusion: In view of the fact that Barcelona, the two protagonists of La Liga, are chasing closely, it happens that coach Alonso takes charge of Real Madrid for the first time, which almost clearly shows that he focuses on the league. The guiding idea of supplementing the Champions League just happened to be advantageous for Slott, and he was able to calmly get out of the predicament; even though this judgment has a derogatory meaning, but a horizontal comparison with Arsenal shows that Arteta has won ten games without conceding a goal at this stage. It is still inevitable that he will be questioned by the outside world. Winning the Premier League championship or the Big Ear Cup this season will ultimately require precise choices.

Real Madrid's veteran coach Carlo Ancelotti had to sack out after losing the La Liga championship

Yes, Arteta urgently activated Messi in the Champions League, and he actually scored twice with great results; but at the same time, Arsenal is suspected of suffering from a large-scale injury wave, which has become difficult to ignore; in other words, even if the Gunners rely on the heroic performance of Saka and Eze, they can at least win a small victory, but there is no room for improvement. Under this delicate situation, it is difficult to guarantee that Arteta will not replicate Alonso's worries about gains and losses, thereby ruining an excellent opportunity to win the championship.

In fact, it is equivalent to going around in a circle and returning to the sensitive topic of contradictions and even conflicts between the league and the Champions League. To borrow the common view of the Manchester City media, there was a precedent of Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti dismissing get out of class sadly. I guess Arteta is not willing to repeat the same mistake!

Klopp's successful experience of first Champions League and then Premier League is very unusual in the eyes of British public opinion.

As the saying goes: a solid camp, a fleet of soldiers; looking at the British public opinion, they are happy to hype "Arsenal has the appearance of a championship, Art. Tower should work hard to bring back the long-lost Premier League trophy to London." The implication is that his league is obviously focused on the Champions League. By the way, Klopp was at the top of European football, but only narrowly defeated Guardiola. He was called a hero in foreign wars and has not made any achievements in nine years.

It is necessary to briefly introduce the background of this news. Including the famous coaches Tuchel, Maresca and Emery, they are collectively regarded as cup experts, and to some extent they only succeed by accident. This kind of stereotype has always been very stubborn. No wonder the status and role are below Guardiola.

The next choice of Guardiola is very important. Manchester City should simply strive for the Champions League.

In short, why British public opinion and the local public would rather choose to be generous and tolerant to Slott and Alonso? Most of them are because they have won the Premier League or Bundesliga championship. They are by no means bringing new and unique ideas, and they are not even relevant at all.. By the way, as an aside, Liverpool, as the defending champion of the Premier League, is currently being suppressed by Arsenal and Manchester City. However, whether his apprentice Arteta can replace Slott as he wishes, his master Guardiola will either help him, give him a ride, or secretly undermine him. This is the most exciting variable of this season. At least it is difficult to determine at the moment.

Dias helped Bayern defeat Paris, but unfortunately received a red card

In the final analysis, it is a bit like British public opinion acquiescing to Chelsea, Tottenham and even Newcastle, trying their best to accumulate experience in the Champions League, and then calmly waiting for the exit, basically there is not much suspense; the remaining profits Liverpool and Manchester City are two former Champions League winners. Slott's defeat of Alonso is a good start, inspiring and prompting Guardiola to shift to the focus of the season; in fact, Real Madrid and Paris have lost this round, which is highly likely to prove that Bayern, the Bundesliga class leader, together with the coach and core members are from the Premier League, and have quietly become the public enemy of European football.

It’s still the old saying: Only by sticking to the basics can you show off your talents; this simple truth is undoubtedly a bitter pill for young coach Arteta, but it just points the way forward for the Gunners’ youth army; remember not to inflate yourself and expose the true goal of the season prematurely. Fans and friends, please look at it calmly and objectively!

Arsenal's transformation has yielded miraculous results, indirectly proving that the transfer strategy is perfect
