Chapter 90
Carroll also saw Suarez warming up on the side, the expression on his face was not very good-looking, in the team, it may not be the same as this Uruguayan, but there is nothing else, that is, because the Uruguayan is his direct competitor, and his value is higher than that of the Uruguayan, but the recent performance, Carroll himself knows in his heart, and the Uruguayan does not seem to have many goals, but he is very important to Liverpool on the field, because Bucktooth is a more versatile striker, stealing, breaking through with the ball, Scoring, set-pieces and at Liverpool, he will undoubtedly do all of them.
In the 65th minute, the first substitution of the game was made by Liverpool, Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez replaced England center Andy Carroll, Carroll came off the field, his face was not very good, just patted Suarez on the shoulder, and walked directly to the player's tunnel.
Suarez ran on the field, and after clapping his hands with his teammates, he waved his hand at Leng Fei by the way, Leng Fei also smiled and waved his hand, and the players were not surprised by this, after all, the two came out of the previous team, and the relationship was very good, and Suarez also said hello to Vermaelen.
The game restarted, Liverpool took advantage of the momentum of just scoring a goal, trying to make persistent efforts, after scoring a goal to overtake the score, Suarez came on the field, and by the way told his teammates Dalglish's tactical instructions, Liverpool's attacking core has become him, Suarez has a lot of opportunities to get the ball, and his clever breakthrough ability makes Arsenal's backline miserable.
"This guy has adapted to the Premier League......" Leng Fei looked at the figure of Suarez breaking through with the ball not far away, and sighed.
Suarez's arrival is undoubtedly a severe test for the Arsenal backline, and his ball and breakthrough are a big weapon for Liverpool.
No, after Henderson broke the ball in the midfield, he directly passed the ball to Suarez who was on the side, Leng Fei looked at Sagna behind him, and hurriedly ran back to assist the defense.
Suarez ran while looking at the back, and found that it was Leng Fei who followed up and was about to defend himself, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, okay, are you going to go head-to-head head-on?
Leng Fei found out that it was not Tang Ning who pulled the side, but Suarez, and his nature suddenly improved a lot, originally, he planned to chase him for a few steps, just interfere with it, after all, he is not a defender, but seeing that it is Suarez, Leng Fei still can't help but want to step forward and try it, anyway, there is one more person on the back line, and it is safe, Leng Fei is not completely unable to defend, in other words, he has never eaten pork, and he has never seen a pig run!
In terms of speed, although Suarez is not slow, there is still a bit of a gap compared to Leng Fei, Leng Fei quickly caught up with Bucktooth, and the two ran side by side near the bottom line.
Suarez slowed down, Leng Fei gradually slowed down, Sania looked at Leng Fei and Suarez, carefully guarding Leng Fei's back, for fear that the cunning Uruguayan would pass behind him.
Suarez looked up at Leng Fei with a slight smile on his face, Leng Fei seized the opportunity and immediately stepped forward to scramble, Suarez flexibly dialed the ball and bypassed Leng Fei's pressing.
"Alas! King is not a defender, and he has done his duty to come here, so let's see how Luis will get rid of this ball. After Suarez broke through the cold fly, Saña immediately stepped forward to defend, which bucktooth was a little tricky, and the continuous defense of the two people came forward was still a little unbearable for him, so he decided to pass the ball to Downing behind him, and after stabilizing the ball, Suarez hooked the ball to the left, and the ball rolled out of the entanglement between Sagna and Suarez.
However, it didn't roll far, in fact, just after leaving Suarez's feet, the ball stopped, Suarez looked back, a little surprised, Kim! He actually cut off his pass!
In my impression, although Leng Fei's speed is very fast, his ability to predict this kind of passing is still relatively average, so he can pass the ball out with confidence, and the speed is not slow, but he didn't expect Leng Fei to break off!
Suarez looked at Leng Fei's back, and his mood was very complicated, this kid has made a lot of progress......
“wow! Nice break! Kim managed to stop a flank attack that could pose a threat to the gate! Downing's ability to cross should not be underestimated, as he often used such assists to knock on the door of his team-mates at Aston Villa last season! Lineker couldn't help but sigh when he saw Leng Fei's broken ball.
"King is in good form today, this is his second Premier League game, will it be a Premier League surprise? Kim still has a long way to go, and he still needs time to prove himself. Martin Taylor chimed in.
Both sides are hungry for a win, but so far, Liverpool and Arsenal are still 1-1 with only fifteen minutes to go.
In the seventy-eighth minute, Suarez broke through in front of the field and was put down by Koscielny, Marriner gave Liverpool a direct free kick, but the latter didn't seem to have any special moves, Suarez fell, Leng Fei was a little angry, and Suarez had partnered with him, of course, he knew that Bucktooth loves to fake falls, ran up to the referee for a while, and then glared at Bucktooth.
Bucktooth spread his hands, smiled hehehe, stared at Leng Fei with the innocent expression he had always used in the Eredivisie before, Leng Fei shook his head, smiled bitterly, and changed to someone else, Leng Fei must have felt that guy was provoking himself, but if Bucktooth said, forget it, Leng Fei smiled bitterly and stepped aside, because he was not tall, so he did not go to form a human wall, but ran to the side, assisting in the defense, mainly staring at Tang Ning.
Suarez came to take the free kick, and this position was very dangerous, and the free kick of Bucktooth was also good with his footwork, and Leng Fei reminded Szczesny loudly to keep him focused.
Bucktooth also heard Leng Fei's scream, looked at Leng Fei, and then took a few steps back.
The free kick is taken, there is no doubt that at this distance, the bucktooth hits the goal directly! The ball flew into the top left corner of the goal and did not fall, it was a long-range shot! It's a bit like an elevator ball, but he's still spinning, going around the human wall and going straight to the dead end! Szczesny ran two steps and flew to save, but he misjudged the position, and the line of the ball did not fall as he imagined, but followed the original line and went directly into the net!
"Suarez! goooal!!! Goal from a direct free-kick from Luis Suarez! Martin Taylor yelled.
This goal made Arsenal unhappy, who believed that Suarez's fake fall caused them to fall behind, and Wenger was also dissatisfied, complaining on the fourth official's side.
In the face of questions from the Arsenal players, Marriner did not make any remorse for his decision, ah of course, if he did, I ...... I don't know what to say.
In the 78th minute, with a direct free kick from Luis Suarez, Liverpool led Arsenal away, the score was 1:2, and the home team was in front and the away team was behind.
"Suarez's direct free-kick! 78 minutes! Arsenal is a little hanging, Wenger is also anxious on the sidelines, why did he concede the ball at this time? It seems that he is not very satisfied, is he not satisfied with the referee's decision, or is it the performance of his own players? ”
There are 12 minutes left in the game, and it is not easy to equalize the score in these 12 minutes, the opponent is not a soft persimmon, although Liverpool has gradually fallen from high and handsome to **, but they will not let the victory fly away in vain.
Re-kick-off, Arsenal launched a comprehensive attack, even Vermaelen saw that if the opponent did not have much threat, they pressed to the front to assist, as a central defender, Vermaelen's scoring ability is one of the best among the central defenders, a typical "defender with a knife", which benefited Arsenal's attack a lot, which is similar to Ajax's Vertonghen, however, at the same time, there is also a problem to worry about, if Vermaelen presses up and loses possession, the situation will become very dangerous.
The further the time goes, the more anxious Arsenal's players become, plus Liverpool in order to ensure a victory, began to defend intensively, even Suarez and Kuyt are constantly interfering with Arsenal's possession in the midfield, that is, almost eleven of Liverpool's players are assisting in their own half of the defense, so Arsenal's attack is extremely difficult, and when the situation cannot be opened for a long time, it is a trick to make people vomit blood, but it sounds quite effective - long-range shot.
Ramsey, Frimpong, Nasri, all began to try long-range shots, and after four or five anti-aircraft guns, the fans behind the Liverpool stands were miserable, and Wenger finally couldn't sit still.
As he was ready to get back to his feet and make adjustments, a quick counter-attack from Liverpool arrived.
Lucas broke the ball at the back and made a long pass to Downing, who was inserted at high speed in front, Koscielny and Sagna desperately defended thousands, Vermaelen? Sorry, it was Vermaelen's goal just now that Lucas went down.
Downing passed Sania, this is not the end of the world, Koscielny is still chasing the ball relentlessly, but the disaster is not alone, Koscielny accidentally slipped himself on the way to the wild run, and fell to the ground.
Downing formed a single knife! This is his best chance to prove that he is worth £20 million! Downing let go of his feet and ran, licking his lips, he felt that his first goal at Liverpool was coming!
Behind him, Frimpong chased after him, and he didn't have time to think about it, if he lost the ball, it was over! Frimpong slipped to the end, and Downing was caught off guard, and was shoveled to the ground in an instant, and then rolled on the ground in pain.
Not surprisingly, the whistle sounded Marina rushed over, Arsenal and Liverpool players all surrounded Marina, Liverpool players hope to let this guy get a red card, completely destroy Arsenal's arrogance of counterattack, Arsenal players help Frimpong to justify, Marina is a more "talkative" referee, soft in terms of cards, Arsenal hopes that Marina can also be merciful this time.
However, Marriner did not mean to be soft in the slightest, he was in a good position just now, and he could see it clearly, he felt it in his pocket, and then pulled out a red card, which flashed in front of Frimpong.
The Ghanaian youngster was blinded, he didn't expect the referee to send him off at all, when he tackled just now, he just thought that it was a big deal to eat a yellow card, not that he knew that the referee was soft, but he felt that the foul in this position would not bring a red card, after all, there was still a little distance from the goal.
But Marriner himself knows in his heart that in terms of speed, Frimpong really may not be able to outrun Downing, this is a one-handed opportunity, and Frimpong's first kick is Downing's calf, there is no problem with this decision, otherwise, he would not have directly gone up with a red card.
Downing is still on the ground, Liverpool's team doctor has rushed in, and Dalglish is also scolding on the sidelines, 20 million pounds! Although the performance in the first game was average, not every player can integrate into the team so quickly, if Frimpong is allowed to shovel like this, 20 million pounds will be wasted, and it will be a big loss!
Frimpon stared blankly at Marriner, and it wasn't until the latter reminded him a second time that Frimpon walked off the field.
The red card in this time period is undoubtedly a very big blow for Arsenal, the score is behind, the opponent is defending with a bucket, 10 to 11, there are less than 5 minutes left, maybe plus 10 minutes of injury time, for an ordinary league game, this seems to be a terrible situation.
Downing's injury and the questioning of the referee by both sides dragged on for a few minutes, and by the time the game restarted, it was already the 86th minute of the game.
At this time, Arsenal and Liverpool also completed the substitution, Liverpool replaced Downing with Meireles, Skrtel replaced Henderson, Dalglish decided to defend, and Arsenal replaced Walcott with Danish teenager Bendtner.
After Bendtner came on the field, he conveyed the professor's words: "The coach told us to strengthen the attack, but when we are not sure, try to minimize long-range shots, and send the ball into the box, whether it is a high ball or a low flat ball, and send it to the box if it can be delivered." ”
Leng Fei looked at Wenger on the sidelines, the latter had a tiger face, he was very unhappy with the previous players' series of offensive methods that seemed to be long-range shots but actually cleared the siege, and Frimpong was sent off again, the professor's mood must not be much better.
Arsenal's players were in a hurry, but they still executed the tactics, in the box, Van Persie and Bendtner hardly came out, and the players in the midfield kept sending the ball in, but when they actually managed to get it to the feet of the two or overhead, it was rare.
In the eighty-ninth minute, the fourth official on the sidelines raised the sign for stoppage time, and in the fifth minute of stoppage time, Liverpool fans booed dissatisfied, they thought that the stoppage time was too long, and interestingly, the Arsenal fans who had been at odds with Liverpool fans booed in unison with Liverpool fans this time, they felt that this stoppage time was too short, Frimpong was red carded before, Downing was injured, and Suarez's somewhat controversial penalty before wasted a lot of time.
"Five minutes to go! We still have time! Van Persie waved his hand in the box, signaling everyone not to give up, to score, to equalize, the most important thing is to calm down, but Arsenal's attack is already a bit chaotic.
Leng Fei was also chaotic at first, and after Frimpong was sent off, Suarez scored a controversial free-kick to make the game controversial and his mind was a little off the game.
"Kim! What are you doing! In his ears, a voice suddenly came, he thought it was Van Persie calling him, looked at Van Persie, he was still in the penalty area ready to fight for the top, Leng Fei turned his head around again, Suarez was squeezing his eyebrows at him, it seemed that it was the bucktooth calling him just now, but soon, Suarez looked away and turned back into the defense.
"This guy...... Reminding me to focus? After Leng Fei figured it out, he was surprised, they were opponents!
However, the next moment, Leng Fei didn't think about it so much, Suarez and Kuyt both pressed Ramsey at the same time, and the latter was about to lose the ball, so he hurried up to catch it.
Ramsey passed the ball over, Suarez rushed up, an unceremonious flying tackle, after his reminder, Leng Fei's attention was very concentrated, flashed Suarez's flying tackle, and then broke through with the ball, no matter what purpose the guy was for reminding himself of this opponent, don't think about it, what to do now is to score!
Lucas and Enrique rushed up at the same time, covering the defense of Leng Fei, Leng Fei calmed down, pulled the ball, and then protected the ball at his feet, and lightly broke through the gap between Lucas and Enrique sideways, the speed was very fast, it is hard to imagine how to do such a fast dribbling with a crab-like pace, in fact, Leng Fei is not a dribble, but a jump, basically after picking up the ball, skipping the two sideways.
"My God, how did this guy do it, I watched the Brazilian Garrincha when I was a child, and the Brazilian with the two feet of different length left an impression on me, fast, flexible, dribbling full of magical imagination, he thought of any way to pass people, he used any method to pass people, it was fifty years ago, I was 17 years old, fifty years later, I was 67 years old, I think I saw another one, he is a Chinese, called Leng Fei." Martin Taylor stared at Leng Fei tightly and said.
Lineker was a little surprised by his companion's comment: "The demon of dribbling, Garrincha, Martin, you think so highly of him. ”
Martin Taylor smiled and didn't speak, Lineker didn't speak either, and Leng Fei's breakthrough brought a good offensive opportunity.
On the wing, Leng Fei and Skrtel were entangled together, but Leng Fei did not intend to be dragged by the Liverpool central defender for too long, and after two successive changes of direction, Skrtel was finally stunned by his center of gravity, and then crossed with a kick......
Many players in Liverpool thought that Leng Fei wanted to cut inside, which was Leng Fei's best way to score, and Agger had rushed up to make up for the space left by Skrtel, but he didn't expect Leng Fei to directly kick a cross, Ag temporarily changed his mind and stretched out his legs to block the cross, but it was obviously too late.
Bendtner and Van Persie jumped high at the same time, but neither of them hit the ball, and Leng Fei passed the ball wide?
On the sidelines, Dalglish and Wenger both saw that at the moment when Leng Fei crossed with his feet, in addition to Van Persie and Bendtner, there was also an Arsenal player who quietly rushed into the penalty area, but everyone focused on Leng Fei, Bendtner and Van Persie, and no one noticed that someone came forward to sneak attack.
The two managers stood up at the same time, Wenger was silent but his face was full of anticipation, and Dalglish shouted loudly to remind the Liverpool players to be careful, and the players only noticed the situation in the box after the players noticed the situation on the sidelines.
It turned out that Leng Fei didn't plan to pass it to Van Persie or Bendtner at all! The two of them are just a disguise, but behind them, I don't know when they killed Vermaelen!
A volley! Vermaelen predicts where the ball will fall very clearly! Reina's attention wasn't fully focused either, although he was the first Liverpool player to realise the danger and the goal went in!!!
Vermaelen waved their fists and ran out of the box for the Arsenal fans to react, and after a short silence, there was a storm of cheers, yes, just an equaliser, and it was unlikely that there would be a goal in the next few minutes, but it was enough to prove that they were still fighting!
With a few whistles, Marriner announced the end of the game, on the big screen of the Emirates Stadium, the score was fixed at 2:2, with Leng Fei and Vermaelen's goals, Arsenal barely drew Liverpool at home, two rounds of league games, Arsenal won one and drew one, it looks okay, but whether it is the first round against Newcastle, or the second round against Liverpool, it is very difficult, the weakness of poor midfield control is obvious, and when playing against Liverpool, Liverpool's Lucas performed very well, Almost the entire midfield is controlled, if Arsenal is here, and Cesc Fabregas, how can Lucas easily control the midfield?
All these problems are imminent, and three days later is the second leg of the Champions League qualifying match between Arsenal and Udinese, the first leg at the Emirates Stadium, with Theo Walcott's supplementary shot, 1:0 victory over Udinese, although a one-goal lead, but to Italy, Arsenal can not have any mistakes, otherwise, this year's Champions League, will really say goodbye to Arsenal.
On August 25th, the whole Arsenal team came to the Friuli Stadium in Udine, Italy, the owner here is the Udinese team that has just won at home not long ago, for Arsenal, this game is very tangled, because three days later, it is the Premier League battle with Manchester United, and both games are away games, plus just drew with Liverpool, I have to say that this is a small devil's schedule, and this is just the beginning of the new season, Leng Fei only then understood, before the crossing, In addition to the loss of the core, Arsenal's weakness is more important because of the devil's schedule at the beginning of the season, and in order to participate in the Champions League, the professor and his disciples focused a large part of their energy on the Udinese game, which led to a very poor start to the league.
