"This ball, this ball, this ball...... The ball is in! While the ball was still in the air, the Liverpool commentator had already craned his neck, stared straight at the ball in the air and began to mumble to himself, and when the ball finally fell into the net, he suddenly burst into a very high volume, and the sound spread through the announcer to every corner of the Anfield stadium, and even the fans were startled by him.

However, it was clear that the Liverpool commentator was not going to cheer on the Arsenal players, as he then greeted the Arsenal players with a series of words starting with the letter 'F', and then fell into anger along with the fans in the stadium.

"Reina, Reina, this ball...... Too careless! Perhaps because his own children are not good at criticizing in front of others, and the "god" Gerrard in the hearts of Liverpool fans is also partly responsible, so the commentator's foul language to Reina was not able to say it in the end, but he criticized Reina's mistake in this goal without pain.

But he never mentioned Gerrard's problem, and the tens of thousands of fans in the stadium did not disrespect Gerrard, in Liverpool, anyone can criticize, but Gerrard is an exception.

And what about Gerald? He was standing in the midfield, with his hands on his waist, looking at Descartes who was buried on the turf by his teammates.

He still remembers that in 2004, his teammate Harvey Brown. When Alonso first arrived in the Premier League, he also surprised with such a big shot from more than 45 meters away, but now that four seasons have passed, he and Alonso are getting older. But Liverpool can still only linger outside the door of the championship, when he sees the young Descartes knocking the door from a distance, he seems to vaguely see himself and Alonso when he was young, and even the boy who chased the wind back then, but the years are gone, but the dream is still not realized, I don't know when he can hold the coveted trophy with his own hands?

The game resumed normal with the referee's whistle and Arsenal were in high spirits after chasing two goals in a row, and they thought their ten-minute plan had been aborted. Unexpectedly, Descartes scored two goals in just 2 minutes. The goal of the first twenty minutes was completed in one fell swoop, and then it was time for everyone to work together.

Arsenal's attack began to become more violent in the second half of the second half, and Liverpool, who had previously exchanged attacks and defences with them, suddenly felt that they were gradually unable to hold on. In desperation. Benitez had no choice but to ask the team to recycle the formation as a whole. Consolidate the rear first.

This is also Benitez's football philosophy, he doesn't ask for big wins, 1-0 is fine. 3:2 or not, as long as he can win, he doesn't care what the team will play like.

Liverpool's backfield players are now eager for Benitez to give such an order, with the likes of Cesc Fabregas and Nasri taking turns to move forward, their defence has looked precarious, and the retreat of the overall formation can obviously give them time to breathe, so they are happy to be happy and grit their teeth to support it.

But up front, the likes of Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres were secretly frowning.

Benitez's conservatism is obvious to all, and some media at the time said that his clash with Mourinho was a disaster in world football, because the two of them could work together to turn a football match into a hypnotic show, which would definitely help fans who stayed up late to watch the game at night fall asleep faster. Therefore, in the five seasons that Benitez has been in charge of Liverpool, although Liverpool's results have improved significantly, and even reached the Champions League final twice and won a European Champions Cup, his support rating at Anfield Stadium has never exceeded 50%.

Human nature is like this, when they are hungry, all they want is to have a full meal, but when they are full, they want to have a house sheltered from the wind and rain, and when they have a house, they also want to have a wife and children...... Human desires are always never-ending, and so are the fans.

When Liverpool are still struggling on the relegation line, what they hope is that the team can be relegated smoothly and keep the face of the supremacy of English football; When the team was relegated, they wanted the team to enter the European arena and continue the glory of the past; By the time the team does enter the European arena, their goal has become the title and the revival of the club...... Benitez single-handedly brought Liverpool from the ups and downs of the "former hegemon" to the stable "last four" of the Premier League, and also brought the club the European Champions Cup, but the fans have begun to dislike him because his football is too utilitarian, too conservative and "not pretty".

They may not know at this time that when this rustic bald head got out of his "not pretty" football, Liverpool fell into the cycle again, and even couldn't keep the place in the top four of the Premier League.

At this time, not only Liverpool fans, but even some players in the Liverpool team are dissatisfied with Benitez, especially the players on their attacking line.

Counting Benitez's achievements in Liverpool's five seasons, he brought a large number of pillars of the back line such as Alonso, Hyypia, Reina, and Reiser to the team, but in the front, he introduced such as Baros, Cisse, Diouf, Pongele, Josemi, etc., all of whom have become the laughing stock of the Premier League, except for the successful Torres and Luis. Garcia, only Kuyt is barely enough.

This situation has contributed to Liverpool's weak defensive and attacking weakness over the past few seasons, and it is a big reason why they have never been able to cross that final step.

In addition to the failure of recruitment, Benitez's harsh requirements for frontcourt players have also been criticized by the players, Kuyt was transformed into a defender who roams in the front court, Babel, Cisse, Baros and other players who became famous for their speed were forced to abolish their martial arts by him, Torres performed well, but was also required to participate in the overall defense, which made the Spanish golden boy lose his aura in the frontcourt, and after the transfer to Chelsea, he has become a "big winner in life", but no longer a killer on the field.

Benitez's philosophy is that the whole team should be in the service of the defense, but in attack. He doesn't have much better to do it, the only tactic is to counter-attack, counter-attack, take every opportunity and counter-attack......

Over time, Liverpool's front-line players gradually grew resentful of him, looking at the Premier League semi-finals and the continental giants, what team is as monotonous and boring in attack as Liverpool? The club spent a lot of money to bring in these attacking players, not to ask them to come to Anfield to participate in the construction of the "Great Wall of England", but to build the city for the team. Wonderful offense for the fans!

Just like this game. The first half was like a bamboo, and everyone was happy, but as soon as Arsenal showed its hideous fangs, Bei Bald immediately subconsciously retracted the glans. Ready to continue playing with his counter-attack. But he didn't know. Gerrard, Torres and others have long been tired of his set, and what they want is a tooth for a tooth, an attack for an attack. Instead of shrinking his head like a turtle and letting others beat him, he only occasionally seized the opportunity to bite someone.

The so-called giants should have their own bearing and demeanor, which boxing champion have you ever seen hold his head and let others beat him wildly, and then suddenly knock out the opponent through a counterattack?

In the face of Benitez's instructions, Torres and Gerrard and others looked at each other helplessly, and then slowly walked to the midfield with their heads down, it can be seen from their body language that although they reluctantly accepted Benitez's orders, they were all with great reluctance.

This kind of emotion has brought hidden dangers to Liverpool after all.

About 26 minutes into the game, Arsenal found that the Liverpool players retracted into their own half, as veterans with many years of professional football experience, they all knew that they should slow down the tempo at this time, lure the Liverpool players out through scheduling, and then use the gap to attack, so they turned the ball upside down in the midfield, that is, they never passed forward, the purpose was obviously to lure the Liverpool players to take the bait.

Faced with such a move by Arsenal, Benitez sneered on the sidelines: "Childish. "It's a trick that even the fans can see, don't the professional players at Liverpool understand? Now it's Arsenal who are 2:3 behind on the field, Liverpool doesn't have to worry at all, just let them pass like this, it's best to pass until the end of the game, and then see who can laugh.

But before the sneer on Benitez's face died down, his expression froze as he saw Torres rushing up, then Benayoun on the left, then Gerrard on the right, then Kuyt on the right......

The Liverpool players disobeyed Benitez's instructions and decided to attack on their own!

Benitez was furious, he didn't care about the surprised eyes of others, rushed to the sideline like crazy, and shouted at the Liverpool players: "Go back, go back, give me all back!" ”

The nearest left-midfielder, Benayoun, took one look at him and then rushed to Arsenal right-back Sagna with a blank face, before Aurelio had to move forward to fill the gap left by Benayoun.

At this time, Benitez only felt a chill in his heart, not only because of the trace of contempt hidden in Benayoun's eyes when he looked at him, but also because he saw that Arsenal striker Descartes was quietly slipping behind Aurelio, and behind him, Mascherano was in a dilemma, to follow or not to follow?

Then Benitez saw Sagna give the ball to Cesc Fabregas, who kicked the ball back to the right without stopping, Walcot received the ball, walked past Aurelio and passed the ball to Descartes in front of him, who dribbled Mascherano into the corner area, and then knocked Walcott back with his heel, who turned his feet and went straight into the box.

Hyypia came up to intercept, but Walcott's speed was like a difference between Ferrari and a classic car compared to the old Finnish defender, he easily waded past Hyypia, and then raised his left foot, at this time Carragher, who had been defending Van Persie, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly let go of Van Persie and rushed to Walcott, and Alonso, who returned to the defense, filled his hole.

However, Walcourt did not shoot, his high left foot was gently lowered, but with the outside of his instep to send the ball out of the penalty area, at the top of the arc of the penalty area, Fabregas, who had only touched the ball once before, pounced like a gale, and then pulled his foot to shoot, the ball went into the net, Reina despite desperately stretching his arm, could not get to this powerful shot.

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！” The Arsenal commentator in front of the TV raised his voice to make the loudest noise he could, and the tens of millions of Arsenal fans who were watching the TV screen in a bar or at home jumped up at the same time and equalized!

From 0:3 in the first half to 3:3 now, Arsenal fans are as exciting as a rollercoaster, and when they thought there was no hope, the Arsenal players brought them the biggest surprise, and this moment was no more ecstatic than the original Liverpool fans facing Istanbul night.

Liverpool, which once had a big reversal, has now been reversed by Arsenal.

Although the game was not over yet, the Arsenal fans were already hugging each other and dancing and singing as if they had won, and no words could describe the joy in their hearts, only beer and loud roars could give it all out.

In the face of this goal, the Liverpool commentators on the scene also didn't know what to use to describe his mood at the moment, he could only open his mouth wide and hold the microphone in his hand wordlessly, and after a long time, he inexplicably shouted: "Wow......"

Then he suddenly found that the whole Anfield stadium was as quiet as he was, and it seemed that even the fans didn't know how the team would react to such a situation.

There was silence for a few more moments, and when the Liverpool players lowered their heads and slowly put the ball back in the center circle, a few slight voices suddenly remembered from the scene:

"When you cross the wind and waves,

Keep your head high,

Don't be afraid of the dark

……”

The sound grew louder and then coalesced, melting into a rushing river that eventually turned into a howl like a gust of wind that flooded Anfield Stadium and resounded throughout the city of Liverpool.

Gerrard looked up, Carragher looked up, Torres looked up, Alonso looked up, and one by one the Liverpool players gradually raised their heads, and then they saw the scene that they will never forget, countless waving red scarves, countless white, yellow or black arms, raised high like a mountain forest, and the song flowed from among them, soaking the turf of Anfield and soaking their eyes.

"We won't lose!" Gerrard clenched his fists and passed the ball to Torres next to him. (To be continued......)
