Chapter 142: After the game

Arsenal were a bit surprised by the momentum Liverpool displayed, but time was running out and that was reassuring.

The game resumed, and Liverpool made a last-ditch effort.

In the 92nd minute, Luka Modric passed the ball and Babel's shot from the right side of the box was saved by Fabianski, and Babel finally completed one of his shots on goal.

Soon in the 93rd minute, Arsene Wenger replaced Bendtner with crutche-prone midfielder Diaby to delay the time and increase the defense by the way.

As the minutes ticked by, Liverpool still couldn't equalise.

In the 94th minute, Liverpool attacked again, Xavi Alonso took the ball in front of the penalty area and distributed it to Arbeloa who inserted it on the right side, Arbeloa crossed with his feet, Ague grabbed the key header, ferried the ball to the left side of the penalty area, Liu Ting ran away from Gibbs to receive the ball, immediately started with the ball, and passed Alexander Song with a Marseille roundabout, attracting the attention of Arsenal's defense, and immediately passed the ball back to Modric at the top of the penalty area. Finally tore open the opponent's defense, Liu Ting ran there at the right time, and with a push shot 8 meters away from the goal, Fabianski flew to save and there was no way to save.

“gooooooooal!!! Liu! Liu's goal, Liverpool equalized! Following Torres' brace, Liu also scored a brace! Alan Hansen shouted that the goal meant that Liverpool would not at least lose at home.

This time, the style of play is the style of play arranged by Heynckes during the usual training, but it is difficult to succeed in training, and it requires everyone's tacit cooperation, and it is difficult to complete if the opponent is unmoved on defense, and this time it is finally completed on the court.

After the goal, Liu Ting did not celebrate, and immediately ran back to the midfield from the goal with the ball in his hands to prepare for the kick-off, and the whole Liverpool team was similar, but it was Arsenal who dragged their feet.

For Arsenal, whether it is a win or a draw is not of much impact, they have no chance of competing for the title anyway.

It was already the 95th minute when the game restarted, Arsenal passed the ball back to the backfield and forced Liverpool several times to no avail, and the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

"At the end of the game, Liverpool and Arsenal after a heart-wrenching 90-minute battle, the final score was fixed at 4:4, Arsenal's Arshavin was a big four, Liverpool's Liu Ting and Torres scored twice, this score is not a good result for Liverpool who aims to compete with Manchester United for the league title, and at the same time in another league game Manchester United defeated Wigan Athletic 2:1 away, then Liverpool and Manchester United are 74 points in the standings, Liverpool temporarily ranks first by virtue of goal difference, but Manchester United have one game less. Zhan Jun was making a post-game summary.

This result makes Liverpool not very satisfied, this draw gives Manchester United more room for maneuver, Liverpool previously led Manchester United with one less round of 2 points, Manchester United won the make-up game to overtake Liverpool, Manchester United is to occupy the initiative, but Manchester United is a game do not dare to relax carelessly, as long as Manchester United has a slight difference in the pool even if there is a draw, Liverpool will in turn occupy the initiative, in the last few rounds of the league who occupies the initiative who has more chances.

The draw allowed United to at least accidentally play a draw without worrying about being overtaken by Liverpool, and for the league title situation, Manchester United have a better chance.

If it weren't for Liu Ting's last-minute goal, Liverpool would not have won a draw, and Liverpool would have been more passive.

The 4-4 score was one of the most goals scored by either team in the Premier League this season, and the other was also a total of eight goals, also related to Arsenal, which was Arsenal's 4-4 draw at home to Tottenham. Arsenal look close to 4-4, but Liverpool don't want that record, they want the three points more.

At the end of this round, Chelsea were held to a 0-0 draw at home by Everton and went unnoticed, completely overshadowed by 4-4 from Liverpool and Arsenal.

Such a result was enough to make Ferguson snicker, but he was not satisfied and said: "The referee gave too long injury time. ”

Ferguson is saying that if the referee only gives three minutes of injury time, then there will be no goal from Liu Ting at the end, and Liverpool can only lose 3:4 at home.

Liu Ting replied in front of reporters: "Maybe the referee should call Mr. Ferguson every game and ask him if he should give a few minutes of stoppage time. He's the only person in the world who doesn't have the right to complain about stoppage time, I don't know how he could say that. ”

The big score between Liverpool and Arsenal has also become the object of European attention, and the season has come to a close, and major media have analyzed the impact of this game on the Premier League title, especially the Champions League.

Arshavin was a big hit all over Europe in one game, and he finished his quadruple with four shots at Anfield, and his four shots were the only four of Arsenal's eight shots on target, and it can be said that he single-handedly helped Arsenal draw away to Liverpool.

On Liverpool's side, Liu Ting and Fernando Torres were relegated to the background, with both scoring twice and scoring four goals combined, but they couldn't win at home.

Arshavin also achieved a record, that is, the only person in the history of the Premier League to complete the quadruple without helping the team win, but Arshavin has always been beautiful.

Tsar = TNT? "Arshavin's efficiency is not inferior to TNT two" and other reports emerge in endlessly.

The British Daily Mail, although not the mouthpiece of Manchester United, has close ties with Manchester United, and reported: "Liverpool have conceded four goals at their own home, which is not only more beneficial for Manchester United in the race for the league title, but also reflects that Liverpool's defence is problematic, Ferguson should seize this opportunity, the first leg of the Champions League semi-final is now played at Anfield......"

The official website of the Premier League also made a simple process introduction: Arsenal leads Liverpool to equalize, Liverpool overtakes Arsenal, Arsenal equalizes, Arsenal overtakes Liverpool and then equalizes, Arsenal overtakes Liverpool and equalizes again. This process introduction alone is attractive enough.

Or the French "Team Newspaper" is more professional: "Liverpool was forced to draw by Arsenal at home, in fact, there are hidden dangers for a long time." After Liverpool beat Real Madrid, Manchester United and Chelsea in the double, after successive league wins, Liverpool from the fans to the players have greatly improved their self-confidence, and over time they began to become arrogant, they think they can easily beat any opponent, Anfield Stadium has always heard the chanting and shouting of 'one more score' in recent games, and the fans were not satisfied with the score and asked for more goals when they were leading 1-0, and this atmosphere was contagious to the whole Liverpool team, Liverpool's defenders have become more attacking and less serious defensively, otherwise a defeated Arsenal team will not be able to find four good chances on goal at Anfield......

Before the whole Liverpool team training the next day, everyone was given a newspaper, which was the analysis of the match between Liverpool and Arsenal in the team newspaper.

Heynckes said, "I'll give you five minutes to read this report." ”

The newspaper was in English, and soon everyone read it quickly and knew what the manager meant.

Heynckes continued: "You know why you drop points at home, the fans can be arrogant, but you can't. It's your job to play football, you have to take it seriously, and the game against Hull City at the end of the week will be a test for you, and if anyone doesn't qualify, then I'll put a better player on the pitch when it comes to the Champions League semi-finals. ”

The Champions League semi-finals are games that every player doesn't want to miss, and Heynckes simply gets to the point.

※※※

Torres scored twice in this round and already dominates the Premier League's scorer list, ranking first in the scorer list with 18 goals, followed by Anelka with 16 goals and Cristiano Ronaldo with 15 goals.

Liu Ting's Premier League goals have also reached 12, ranking sixth in the scorer list.

The Champions League semi-finals don't start until the end of April, with Liverpool still having a league game to play, away to Hull City.

Heynckes' words calmed down the whole Liverpool squad and the players were less aggressive.

On April 25, the 34th round of the English Premier League arrived, Liverpool will go to Hull City away, and Manchester United will play Tottenham at home.

Because Tottenham is still Manchester United's three-point ATM, the last time Tottenham could beat Manchester United was in the 00/01 season, Tottenham Hotspur against Manchester United in recent years can get a draw is good, Tottenham's White Hart Lane stadium is called the three-point alley by Manchester United fans, three points are available at any time, so Liverpool fans only hope that Tottenham can draw Manchester United away to help Liverpool a lot.

At Tiger's Kingston Communications Stadium, Liverpool finally didn't have any major problems. Hull City was once in the top six European zones at the halfway point of the season, but the second half of the schedule fell like a free fall, and now it has not been completely relegated, but it is not a big problem with relegation, so Hull City did not create problems for Liverpool.

Hull City were tight from the start, and just before half-time, Xavi Alonso's direct free-kick gave Liverpool the lead. Kuyt scored twice in the second half, and Hull City pulled a goal back without harm, and in the end, Liverpool beat Hull City 3-1 away to get three points.

Liu Ting assisted Kuyt's first goal in the second half, extending his streak of goals or assists, and his Premier League assist tally reached 14.

But there was still bad news for Liverpool, as Fernando Torres strained his thigh in the second half, and it is unclear whether the injury was serious or not. Fortunately, Steven Gerrard will return from injury in the next game, and Liverpool will not face the absence of two attackers at the same time.

Meanwhile, in another game between Manchester United and Tottenham, Tottenham disappointed to be Manchester United's three-point ATM again.

In the first half, Tottenham led Manchester United 2:0 at Old Trafford, which once made Liverpool fans think that Tottenham would turn over, but unfortunately midfielder Ferguson's trumpet blowing, Manchester United The whole team in the second half seemed to be beaten with chicken blood, Tottenham couldn't withstand it at all, and was poured 5 goals in a row within half an hour, and Manchester United had a thrilling 5:2 to get three points on Tottenham.

It is worth mentioning that the referee of this game was 'Manchester United legend' Howard Webb, who gave Manchester United a penalty shortly after the start of the second half, and the penalty was indeed misjudged in the post-match replay, which led to Manchester United's counter-attacking frenzy.

To be fair, although Webber's law enforcement standards are a bit biased towards Manchester United, it is always the strong strength of Manchester United that changes the game, or that Tottenham Hotspur can't play his strength as soon as he sees Manchester United, and gives away the three points, especially in the second half, when Manchester United began to fight back, Tottenham was simply overwhelmed like a headless fly, which greatly disappointed Liverpool fans.

The reversal of the two-goal lead over Manchester United in the first half is not the worst moment for Tottenham, Tottenham once led Manchester United by three goals in the first half of the home team in the 01/02 season, and in the second half, Manchester United scored five goals in a row and finally defeated Tottenham 5:3 to take away the three points.

At the end of this round, Arsenal and Chelsea have won, but Chelsea was forced to draw by Everton in the last round and has completely withdrawn from the title race, Chelsea manager Hiddink has publicly said that Chelsea's focus has shifted to the Champions League, and the league mainly depends on Liverpool and Manchester United.

Back to Liverpool, Torres's injury results came out the next day, and he will be out for half a month, and the next round of the Premier League and the first leg of the Champions League semifinals will not be able to participate, which is by no means good news for Liverpool, the league is not a big problem, but the first leg of the Champions League semifinals is at home against Manchester United, Torres's absence must have a great impact, and whether Torres's injury can catch up with the second leg of the Champions League semifinals is still unknown.

With Fernando Torres out and Gerrard in doubtful form just after injury, Liverpool's recent form has not been good.

The British tabloids, which have no wind and are about to make waves, have already begun to plan for Liverpool to collapse on both fronts, and Manchester United can easily win the league title and enter the Champions League final.

In this round of the league, Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice, Chelsea's Anelka did not score, Ronaldo rose to second place in the scorer list and was only 1 goal away from the top of the list, Torres is now injured, and Ronaldo has the opportunity to win the Premier League Golden Boot again.
