Chapter 373: Sun, Air, Milner! (2nd Update)

It's an outside instep volley from the top of the arc of the penalty area!

"Beautiful! Wonderful world waves! Mortenson shouted.

"Milner! He shot from outside the box, and it was impossible to save! Milner! He made it 2-0 for Liverpool! Lineker said.

Milner was very excited after the goal, he ran all the way, evaded the chase of his team-mates, and then ran to the Anfield stadium KOP stand, waving his arms vigorously and making a gesture to encourage the fans: for the unassuming Milner, this is already a very flamboyant celebration.

He was greeted by a huge cheer from the Liverpool fans:

Milner!

Milner!

Milner!

Jiang Chenxi caught up from behind, hugged the veteran, and shouted in his ear: Good job, James!

This is the bloom of a conscientious player!

When Milner arrived at Liverpool last summer, there was not much expectation and even some skepticism surrounding the 29-year-old England veteran. Because before this, Liverpool lost the greatest player in history - captain Gerrard announced in the middle of the season that he would leave Liverpool at the end of the season to seek a new challenge in the major leagues, so Milner, who joined at this time, was more seen as Gerrard's stand-in, and Milner's newcomer can be said to be questioned.

However, as the season progressed, Liverpool fans began to accept and recognise the veteran, and now they began to love the dedicated veteran.

Milner seems to have very few classic games of his own, and when attacking, he mostly plays some kick-to-wall with his teammates and then sprints desperately; When it comes to crossings, the quality is hardly remarkable; However, fans who really understand the ball understand the role of Milner, he is simply desperate sprinting on the offensive end, that desperate energy, so that the defense side is a little scared, although knowing that Milner is not a player who is good at scoring, but still dare not relax his marking.

On defense, Milner can play from the beginning of the game to the end of the game, a full 90 minutes of play, he can keep chasing back, sticking positions, and making up defenses.

It is precisely because of Milner's presence that Henderson does not appear to be isolated in midfield, which also allows Lallana to play his energy at the attacking end after dropping back.

For Milner, a veteran who is conscientious and can be called a hard-working model worker, no one in the Liverpool team does not like and admires him.

Jiang Chenxi, Jordan Henderson, Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and even goalkeeper Mignolet ran over to hug Milner and celebrate his goal.

"Milner is very popular with his team-mates, and there is no team-mate who doesn't like such a desperate player." On the trendy Internet, Zhan Jun exclaimed, "An impeccable world wave, Milner's goal detonated Anfield, sunshine, air, Milner, he is simply everywhere!" ”

……

Jurgen Klopp also rushed out of the dugout and threw his arms up to cheer for the goal.

On the bench of Liverpool, the players also celebrated in various ways, the honest Mane carried a bottle of water in his hand, squeezed to the sidelines, and wanted to hand it to Milner, but he didn't squeeze in, jumped in a hurry, and finally walked back helplessly, or Jiang Chenxi saw it, came up and hugged Mane, took the water bottle from his hand, raised his neck, squeezed out a column of water, drank two sips, and then handed the water bottle to Milner, and pointed to Mane, Milner raised the bottle and signaled to Mane, who was immediately happy like a child.

The camera paid more attention to the Arsenal side that conceded the goal at this moment, and the director gave a close-up of the Arsenal coach's bench.

Arsene Wenger looked unhappy with the goal he had conceded, waved his arm and sat back in the dugout.

It stands to reason that the camera should have moved away from Arsene Wenger at this time, but it didn't.

Because the director noticed that the professor began to zip again, his eyes were fixed on the front, and he began to pull up from the bottom, the first step went smoothly, Wenger successfully pulled the zipper to the middle, but unfortunately, the gears of the zipper and the fabric of the clothes were stuck, at this time Wenger was not thin when he pulled up, nor was he pulled down, even if he looked straight at it, it did not solve the problem for a while.

Of course, the professor, who seemed to be familiar with this for a long time, was still calm about this, and he decided not to pay attention to it.

"Hahaha." Lineker smiled unkindly, he said, "Wenger once again embarrassed into the "zipper door", which is also blamed on the director, every time winter is coming, Wenger in a cotton coat will always receive special attention, this time, he looked at the pull and still did not pull up. ”

There was also good-natured laughter in front of the TV.

The story of Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger and the zipper is certainly nothing new for fans familiar with the Premier League, after all, the French coach has not once or twice struggled to try to zip his coat.

Arsene Wenger's zipper began with Arsenal's 7-3 win over Newcastle in December 2012, and it was a highlight before the game. The professor kept trying to pull the zipper, but each time he failed, which was really funny. The local TV crew in the UK was also "bad", and the camera stared at Wenger's "embarrassment" for about 10 seconds.

Fortunately, Arsenal won 7-3 in that game, and the professor's 'zip-gate' became an interesting story.

However, this time, Arsenal fell behind Liverpool 0-2 before half-time, and this 'zip-gate' will certainly cause more interpretation in the media after the game.

It is worth mentioning that Puma, the sponsor of the Gunners' new kit, also made a special innovation for Wenger's zipper technology, and took the trouble to use it as a gimmick to shoot an advertisement. But it is clear that such technological changes have not helped professors solve this old problem.

……

Despite taking a two-goal lead.

However, Klopp did not rest on his laurels.

After the restart, Jurgen Klopp did not return to his seat, standing on the sidelines and constantly signaling his players to continue to attack and not give the Arsenal a chance to bounce back.

Liverpool's on-pitch players faithfully executed Klopp's tactical intentions. In the midfield, Arsenal launched a very aggressive press, and at the back of the field was a strict defense, especially Van Dijk, he implemented Klopp's tactical arrangement well, firmly limited Giroud, did not give Giroud a comfortable chance to get the ball, and did not let him turn easily.

As a result, Giroud's space and opportunities are very small.

'Did we see anything from Giroud?' "The Frenchman was almost invisible in the half, he didn't make much of a difference!" ”

'Giroud is not entirely to blame for that. Lineker said: "Arsenal's midfield is completely out of shape, Giroud looks isolated up front, and if there is anyone who is invisible, this person is not Giroud. ”

The director was excellent, and immediately locked the camera on Ozil, as if to say, the one the narrator said: it's him, it's him, it's him!

While defending well, Liverpool continued to attack.

Jurgen Klopp's gesture was clear, it was attacking, he was ambitious, and he even planned to score another goal before half-time, and at 3-0 at half-time, Liverpool almost sealed the win and won the battle at the top of the table.

In the face of the Liverpool team's flood of attacks, the Arsenal can only shrink the defensive line and avoid the edge temporarily: they can't attack if they want to counterattack!

Luckily, they withstood Liverpool's attack and didn't concede another goal.

In the end, at the end of the first half, with the goals of Jiang Chenxi and Milner, the league leader Liverpool temporarily led Arsenal 2-0 at home with only one point less than them.
