The championship suspense continues? Arsenal thrashes Leicester City at home!

Premier League title race standings: Leicester City lead by 4 points, North London rivals tied on points.

Sanchez comes off the bench and scores a goal and an assist! He's named Premier League Player of the Week!

Sanchez: Everyone's praising me, but I want to praise Liu Yang, who only had one assist.

A lengthy analysis (over 10,000 words): The art of positioning! How much football wisdom is contained in Liu Yang's blunder?

……

Finch Farm.

This training base has a rather idyllic name.

Its predecessor was indeed a nursery.

In 2006, Everton Football Club acquired the land and signed a 50-year lease, and built a top-class training facility in the Premier League.

On the first day of March, Everton's training program was basically over.

Head coach Roberto Martinez is speaking one-on-one with several players.

The others packed their things and prepared to go home.

"Romeu, what are you looking at?"

Stones saw the big black guy looking down at his phone and patted him on the shoulder.

"Oh, it's you, John. We're playing Arsenal tomorrow..."

Lukaku touched his head.

He recently cut off his wild, dreaded braids and replaced them with a practical buzz cut.

"Have you heard about that Arsenal kid?"

Stones glanced at the screen.

"That Liu? He's been making headlines lately!"

"Many people say his playing style is somewhat similar to mine."

"We absolutely have to win the next match. I want to outdo that kid..."

Lukaku's expression was serious.

His performance this season has been outstanding, and fans have compared him to Didier Drogba, giving him the nickname "Little Drogba".

……

at the same time.

On the bus to Merseyside.

Liu Yang touched his head, feeling very uncomfortable.

He wanted the barber to give him a new hairstyle, but the barber was incompetent and completely ruined his hair.

I had no choice but to shave my head.

Gnabry next to him and Iwobi in the back row covered their mouths and chuckled.

"Dude, this hairstyle makes your head look really round!"

"He looks exactly like Lukaku on the other side!"

"If it weren't for his dark skin, who would be able to tell the two of you apart?"

……

The team bus slowly drove into Goodison Park.

Built in 1892, this stadium is one of the oldest stadiums in England.

A 20-minute walk will take you to the famous local landmark, Prince Rupert Tower, which is also the origin of Everton's logo.

Across from the tower is a very famous toffee shop specializing in all kinds of desserts, called "Mama Norblet".

Before the game starts, the store staff will offer free candy to the fans.

Early players also loved visiting dessert shops, and many players even married the female staff members there.

Therefore, "Toffees" became Everton's nickname.

……

The newly built Goodison Park stadium was undoubtedly a model of advanced technology at the time.

It was the first stadium in the UK to have double stands on all four sides, and also the first stadium to use an underground heating system.

Unfortunately, times have changed. More than a hundred years later, the stadium is quite old and its size can no longer meet the needs of modern teams.

However, it is not easy to renovate or expand.

First, there is the influence of the local location and buildings.

Secondly, the ashes of many elderly fans are scattered under the grass of the stadium, carrying the remembrance of their ancestors by their descendants.

Therefore, it is also known as the "Sports Stadium Cemetery".

The club's management is working diligently to prepare for the construction of the new stadium.

Liverpool City Council has proposed that Everton and Liverpool share Anfield Stadium!

As expected, it was met with firm rejection from both clubs and their respective fans.

……

With the two teams about to clash, the media outlets are quick to spot the danger.

The hype started early: Liu Yang vs. Lukaku!

A clash between Arsenal's rising star and Everton's rising star: Two massive monsters! And they even share a penchant for playing on the wing?

In-depth analysis of Lukaku and Liu Yang's technical characteristics: Who is the better player?

What does this mean? Before their match, Liu Yang and Lukaku sported the same hairstyle!

The Sun: Liu Yang is not gay.

The pre-match press conference.

The bald-headed young coach Martinez is full of confidence.

"Liu is certainly an excellent player, but we know him very well."

"That's right, his playing style is very similar to our Lukaku!"

"We conducted simulations in training on how to defend against players like him."

Wenger, on the other end, was equally confident.

"Lukaku is certainly an excellent player, but we know him very well."

"That's right, his playing style is very similar to our Liu!"

The reporters looked at each other in bewilderment.

Why does this sound so familiar?

……

The next day.

Goodison Park was transformed into a sea of ​​blue.

"Welcome everyone to our live broadcast! We're here to watch the Premier League Round 27 match between Everton and Arsenal at Everton's home ground!"

"Martinez's team is currently 9th in the Premier League, but they suffered a 0-1 defeat to West Bromwich Albion in the last round, which was a minor upset!"

"Arsenal have just defeated league leaders Leicester City, and they hope to continue their push for the Premier League title with another victory!"

The camera focused on Everton's star striker, "Little Beast" Lukaku, in the players' tunnel!

"His league goal tally this season ranks fourth in the Premier League, behind only Harry Kane, Vardy and Aguero."

"The camera is focused on Liu Yang in the Arsenal squad again!"

"The director really knows how to create a good show; these two young players were constantly being compared before the game!"

……

Player tunnel

Lukaku looked at Liu Yang across from him, his eyes clear.

"Hey Liu, you have great taste! You got the same hairstyle as me!"

Liu Yang: "..."

"You've been playing exceptionally well lately, but we'll contain you tonight."

"Let's have a proper showdown!"

Lukaku, who always had a slightly bewildered look in his eyes, suddenly flashed a serious light.

……

Let's take a look at the starting lineups for both sides!

Let's look at the home team, Everton, first!

Goalkeeper: Tim Howard!

"Defenders: Coleman, Stones, Jagielka, Baines!"

Midfielders: Barry, McCarthy, Barkley!

"Forwards: Lennon, Deulofeu, Lukaku!"

"The three-defender tactical experiment didn't go very well recently, so Coach Martinez has switched back to his preferred four-defender formation!"

"Looking at Arsenal's side, they're still using their usual 4-2-3-1 formation!"

Goalkeeper: Cech!

"Defenders: Bellerin, Paulista, Mertesacker, Gibbs!"

"Defensive midfielders: Elneny, Coquelin!"

"Attacking midfielders: Walcott, Liu Yang, Iwobi!"

Forward: Giroud!

"Walcott has recovered from injury and is back in action for this match, but star player Sanchez remains on the bench!"
