When the clock turned to six o'clock, a sharp whistle pierced the sky, and the game officially began. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two teams can be said to know each other very well, after all, they are both traditional giants of the Premier League, and they can't understand their competitors without knowing each other. In addition, the two teams have played each other a lot of times, so they can be regarded as knowing each other.

Therefore, after two or three minutes of tentative action in the opening game, Arsenal launched an attack very directly. Arsenal's overall current characteristics are attacking and defending, and playing a protracted war and war of attrition with a strong-willed team like Liverpool is not good for them.

Cheered on by the home fans, in the fifth minute, Arsenal's quick pass found its way on the wing. Ozil and Qin Shou continued to cooperate in the front court, and after Ozil inserted diagonally into the penalty area from the left side, Qin Shou's pick pass also happened to arrive, and Ozil did not stop the ball, half-jumping with his left foot to cushion the football to the middle.

Alexis Sanchez and Olivier Giroud were both in the middle of the pitch before Giroud scrambled to the ball at the back post, and his powerful header left Liverpool goalkeeper Jones unreactive, but Gerrard got back into place and slid a slippery tackle to get the ball back from the goal line, and then swept the ball off the ground and swept it straight out of the danger zone.

The sound of Arsenal fans sighing sounded at the scene, while the visiting fans who came to London with the team were shocked and screamed.

'Olivier Giroud's powerful header came close to scoring for the home side...... Gerrard's return was just too timely. In fact, that's Steven Gerrard, who always stepped up when the team needed him the most. ”

"Arsenal's attack went very smoothly, this time there was no problem with the coordination, passing and shooting, but they lacked a little bit of luck, a must-score was saved by Gerrard incredibly, it was really exciting!"

"I have to say that although he is getting older, Steven is still the patron saint of the Reds, as long as he is on the field, he will protect his team!"

The commentators were clamoring, some were amazed, some were sorry, and some were exclaiming for Gerrard's thrilling save.

Arsene Wenger had just returned to the dugout on the sidelines when he saw a dangerous attack, Giroud's powerful header, he jumped up from his seat with his arms raised in surprise, and when he saw the football swept off the sideline by Gerrard, he muttered two words, shook his head and sat down again.

He does have some regrets, playing a team like Liverpool, if he can score first and lay an advantage, at least the players can have a psychological advantage and will be more confident.

Qin Shou was near the forbidden area, stepped forward and took two steps, and pulled Gerala up. The Red Army spirit had shoveled too hard, and had picked up a lot of grass clippings, some of which had stuck to his hair. Qin Shou patted him on the shoulder, swept his head again, and pulled him up.

"I said Steven, you are so old, and you are still working so hard, are you tired?"

Qin Shou said with a smile.

Gerrard responded with a solemn expression: "If you don't fight, you can't do it, the current Liverpool is not as strong as Arsenal's squad, if you don't fight, it will be very difficult to get points here." ”

Qin Shou shrugged his shoulders, shook his head, turned around and walked away.

After this little episode, Ozil threw a throw-in outside the sideline, Qin Shou stepped forward to answer, Enrique leaned up, Qin Shou didn't give him a chance to stretch his feet, leaned on him, and completed the turn. There is nothing surprising about this turning action, the essence is a fast word, Qin Shou pulled the ball violently and turned around, Enrique did not keep up with his footsteps, and immediately lost control of Qin Shou. Qin Shou changed from facing the direction of the goal with his back to facing the goal.

"It's a very fast turn. Enrique is already thirty years old, although he is not old, but in front of Qin, his movements are too slow. ”

Qin Shou, who had completed the turn, had no extra moves, and with a big step, he slid the football to the bottom line, and then made another cross.

This time it was Sanchez who followed the pass, and he jumped up in front of the post to scramble, but the inherent disadvantage of height made him unable to take advantage of Liverpool defender Agger, and in the end, the football was pushed out of the box by Agger, and Gerrard retreated, receiving the football, ready to plan a counterattack by the Reds.

Liverpool's counterattack speed is also very fast, which the Arsenal players are very aware of, and Wenger focused on this in the arrangement before the game, so he has long guarded against this. Gerrard had just won the ball, and before he could finish turning, Cazorla, who was closest to him, stuck to it, and the small movements continued, and finally forced Gerrard to pass the ball back, and the counterattack ended in nothing.

That's a microcosm of the more than ten minutes after the game starts. With the advantage of the home field, Arsenal's desire to attack is very strong, and under the leadership of Qin Shou, the attack in the front court is impressive, constantly using fast passes and short passes to penetrate to pull the opponent's defense.

Liverpool is at a disadvantage on the field, presumably before the game they expected that the game would be very difficult, so their posture is very low, almost the whole team is actively running and scrambling, they use this stupidest and most effective way to deal with Arsenal, in their stubborn resistance, although Arsenal attacked fiercely, but never scored.

Of course, defensive solidity is built on sacrificing attack, and Arsenal also pay special attention to Liverpool's counter-attacks, and their running is also very active, which makes Liverpool's counter-attacks always not fast. And as they slowly pushed forward, Arsenal's players on all lines were in good place and missed the opportunity to counter-attack.

The game gradually became a stalemate.

One main attack, one main defense, no one can do anything about the other.

However, after twenty minutes, the situation gradually changed again. The purpose of Arsenal's attack is to establish the advantage of the score as soon as possible, so the fierce attack naturally cannot be sustained forever, otherwise it will be a serious burden on physical fitness, so the pace of Arsenal's attack can only slow down if it cannot be attacked for a long time.

Liverpool's defensive pressure has finally eased a bit, which has allowed them to focus on attack.

The scene became better and looked good, the two sides went back and forth, the game was very lively, plus the pace was very fast, both teams played very openly, so there were some beautiful team cooperation on the court from time to time, and there were also individual breakthrough performances of the players, except for the lack of goals, the game so far, can be regarded as an offensive battle.

"There is no doubt about Arsenal's attacking ability this season, Qin. Sanchez, Mesut Ozil...... These players are good attackers. Of course, Liverpool were not to be outdone, and under Steven's leadership, the Reds played resolutely, both defensively and offensively. The two sides teamed up to stage a battle against each other! ”

'What is missing now is a goal...... The two sides remain in a delicate equilibrium for the time being, and once the balance is broken, the situation will be completely different. The lagging side will surely launch the most fierce counteroffensive! ”

"Yes, I can even predict that this game is likely to be a goal shootout!"

Arsene Wenger stood on the sidelines, in fact, he couldn't sit still and watched the game nervously from the sidelines since the two teams turned into a fast-paced battle against each other. To be honest, such a situation was not what he wanted, and it was faintly out of his control.

According to his vision, Arsenal used their strong attacking ability to score first, and then they could play a leisurely counterattack. As a result, Liverpool's defense line was very tenacious and did not give Arsenal a hole, and Liverpool was also full of blood, and was pressed and beaten for a while, not only did not lose morale, anyway, there was a trend of becoming more and more courageous.

Arsene Wenger looked at the number 14 in the field with some confusion. According to his arrangement, if the team fails to score, then Qin Shou will control the rhythm, slow down the speed, and slowly look for offensive opportunities, instead of fighting luck with the opponent as he is now.

On the field, Qin Shou was also a little depressed, or he couldn't help himself. Gerrard led Liverpool, playing too unrestrained, after relieving his strength, he rushed forward and hit hard, Flamini couldn't stop a back at all, Qin Shou could only retreat from time to time to assist in defense.

In this way, Qin Shou could only make long passes in the backfield and quickly hit the frontcourt, while Ozil and others did not dare to delay time in the face of the opponent's crazy pressing, so the offensive rhythm was forced to increase.

Another point, Liverpool is getting more and more excited, and Qin Shou doesn't want the team to slow down, so wouldn't he admit that Arsenal is afraid? A team like Liverpool is different from other teams, if you weaken the momentum, maybe the opponent will be more energetic, so that the other side will not be weaker and weaker?

The two teams were still entangled on the pitch, and the stalemate continued until the 38th minute of the first half, when the deadlock was finally broken.

After successfully stealing the ball at Sturridge's feet, Flamini flicked the ball and looked up to see what was going on. What he didn't expect was that Sturridge, who was stealed, suddenly turned around and resolutely put the tackle, Flamini was caught off guard, the football was hooked by Sturridge, and he was tripped over.

The referee did not stop the game, but gestured that the ball was not fouled and the game continued.

What was supposed to be a counter-attacking opportunity turned into an opportunity for the opponent to counter-attack on the spot, Arsenal's defence suddenly froze, and Sturridge's reaction was quick, staying on the ground and he swept the ball forward, and the Liverpool No.8 swept the ball away.

Gerrard's dribbling speed was not fast, but he was very rhythmic, and in a few big steps with the ball, he had already rushed into the 30-meter area of the penalty area.

At this time, Arsenal players stepped forward to press.

But it was too late, catching the inertia of running, Gerrard in the running opened up the stance, and it was a powerful shot towards the football.

The shot was extremely sudden, the power was huge, and Cech's vision was somewhat blocked, and when he reacted, the football was already roaring and rushing forward, he quickly stretched out his fist to hit, but still missed the power of the shot, the ball touched his fists, but it was still full of force into the goal.

0:1！

Liverpool, who were playing away, scored first!
