Chapter 53: The final equalizer
Liu Han used a "sound to hit the west" to successfully snatch the football from Liverpool goalkeeper Reina, his series of actions were done smoothly, and very smooth, so that other people seemed to think that Liu Han just raised his hand, and then easily took the football from Reina's hand, but the party Reina felt very clearly, he even thought that Liu Han would really poke his eyes, after being stunned for about three seconds, Reina fell to the ground as if he was hit by a bullet, Reina felt that Liu Han's behavior just now must have been seen by the referee, and such an action would definitely be taken out in the eyes of the referee.

Fans in England should not know, but some domestic fans born in the 80s and even 70s will feel very amazing at this time, because Liu Han's actions are very similar to the tricks used by Huang Rong at the Junshan Beggars Gang Conference in Mr. Jin Yong's famous novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Liu Han ran to the middle circle with the ball, and Reina fell to the ground and howled in pain, seemingly seriously injured, but Reina's series of actions just now had already been honestly recorded by the cameras on the sidelines, and the referee also saw it very clearly, he saw Liu Han raise his hand, and then left with the ball, and he had not touched Reina at all, but now Reina deceived himself with such a clumsy performance, and the referee felt a trace of anger.
The referee came to Reina's side and signaled the other party to get up, but Reina kept rolling on the ground with his face covered, and the referee who couldn't bear it showed Reyna a yellow card directly as a punishment, and the Liverpool fans on the sidelines also booed, but how much of this boos was directed at the referee's yellow card is unknown.
Reina got up angrily after seeing the referee show him a yellow card, he couldn't believe that the referee would give such a penalty, because the Oriental just now was obviously going to poke Reina's eyes with his finger, and Reina felt that the referee had a problem with his eyes.
"Are you blind? That bastard was going to poke me in the eye, and if I hadn't dodged fast I would have been blind, and he was the one who should have taken the cards. Reyna yelled at the referee and his team-mate immediately grabbed Reina, who had already received a yellow card, and it would not be good for Liverpool to continue the trouble.
In the 60th minute of the game, Suker's goal helped Arsenal catch up with a goal.
It took a long time for Liverpool to kick off at the urging of the referee. Houllier on the sidelines let Heskey start to warm up, Fowler is now on the pitch to no avail, and Arsenal's backline is starting to focus on defending the ball behind them, at which point Liverpool need more impactful strikers.
After restarting the kick-off, Arsenal used the momentum of the goal to start a tight closure on the Liverpool team, Liu Han had enough energy in the front line, Suker only replaced it in the second half, and the Arsenal team defended the Liverpool team from the front.
Liverpool players who felt the pressure began to play more cautiously, except for the young Owen on the front line, who was still trying to find opportunities, and the other players unconsciously began to shrink the defence.
Houllier was considering whether he should strengthen his defense, and after changing to a defensive midfielder, the young Steve Gerrard in the midfield position still looked a little thin.
Originally, the Arsenal team could use the advantage of just scoring a goal to besiege the Liverpool team, but at this time their physical disadvantage finally appeared, after all, it has only been 48 hours since the end of the last game, not everyone has Liu Han's super resilience, this strong guy has no problem even if he comes to play every day, and the extreme survival training has brought Liu Han the ultimate physical fitness.
The offensive and defensive speed of the Arsenal team, which began to lose physical strength, has dropped significantly, which is not that the players do not work hard, after all, it is the natural reaction of the human body, after the physical strength declines, people's thinking will slow down, not to mention in the fierce Premier League game, the players will unconsciously slow down.
Liverpool took advantage of a dead-ball opportunity to bring on Heskey and replace Fowler, who looked unhappy and felt that it should be Owen who should be replaced, and he didn't even say anything to Houllier and went straight to the bench. Joining Huskey was Liverpool's defensive midfielder Carragher, a young man who could play in multiple positions at the back.
Houllier's substitutions showed his caution, or it could be said that his substitutions were not his timidity, he was never a bold coach, and in order to secure the victory, Houllier had to strengthen his defense.
After seeing Houllier's substitution, Wenger, who was originally ready to give up the game, once again surged with the desire to win, in Wenger's view, Houllier's conservative substitution has shown timidity, Wenger saw that the players on the field were a little tired, he was going to give up the game, but now the Liverpool team is showing a defensive posture, then Wenger does not seize the opportunity to try to win, he is not worthy of being the coach of the "Gunners" at all.
Arsene Wenger, determined to give it a go, replaced veteran defender Dixon with Thierry Henry, who continued to strengthen his attacking firepower.
The Arsenal team, which has been replaced by a new force, has become more and more active in the frontcourt, and Liu Han keeps running, making people feel that he is defending in the frontcourt.
Although a veteran defender was replaced, because there was a certain disconnect between the midfield and the front of the Liverpool team, and the Liverpool team began to take the initiative to shrink, the defensive pressure of the Arsenal team was reduced a lot with the rush of the front.
However, today's luck does not seem to be on the side of the Arsenal team, the game went to the 75th minute, Liu Han's clever heel went straight to Henry, Henry did not stop the ball and pushed directly into the far corner, but unfortunately the ball was slightly touched by the Liverpool goalkeeper and hit the post, and the Liverpool team escaped.
Suker then fired another left-footed shot into the far corner from outside the box three minutes later, and the ball grazed the post and flew off the line, leaving the whole of Anfield scared.
Liverpool dominated the first half to hold the score 2-1 until the last minute of the game.
When the linesman on the sidelines raised the sign for three minutes of stoppage time, even Wenger felt that the general trend of the game was gone, but Liu Han never gave up, he still kept running in the front.
At the last moment, the Liverpool team made a fatal mistake at the back, central defender Stephen Henjoz passed the ball to his teammate Hyypia when the pass was a little lighter, Liu Han, who had not stopped running, fell directly to the ground and cut off the ball, and then got up and almost did not adjust to shoot on the spot, the Liverpool goalkeeper struggled to save, but unfortunately a little late, Liu Han scored the equalizing goal in injury time.
