For this important match, both Liverpool and Arsenal seem to take it very seriously.

After a narrow draw at the Emirates Stadium in the last game, Benitez returned to Liverpool's 442 regular squad this season, with Carragher moving to the right side of the backline, Aurelio, Skrtel, and Hyypia lined up, and midfielders Alonso, Mascherano, Gerrard, and Kuyt, both offensive and defensive, and the forward line is still Torres and Crouch, who have performed well this season.

It seems that Becky seems to be very impressed by the high-altitude bombardment of Arsenal last time, and Crouch, who has not had many opportunities to play this season, also appeared in the starting line-up.

On Arsenal's side, Arsene Wenger has lined up a squad that has never been seen before.

Eboue moved to the right to replace the injured Sagna, Sendros in the middle partnered Galla, Klicy on the left, and Toure actually appeared in the starting lineup, but his position became a midfielder, Wenger wanted to use him, but he was afraid that he and Galla would have another dispute, so he arranged such an unfamiliar position for him.

In the midfield affected by a large number of injuries, not only Toure is a newcomer, but also Hleb and Diaby, who have just recovered from injury, have also reappeared in the starting lineup, plus the main players Flamini and Cesc Fabregas who have not been able to beat this season, Wenger unexpectedly discharged the 451 lineup.

Up front, Bendtner, who had no bright spots in the last game, was not in the squad, Van Persie was out for a week due to a muscle injury, and Descartes was left alone on the bench.

Both teams started very cautiously, although the two sides had just played each other 4 days ago, but this game was a life-and-death battle to determine the outcome of the game, with the surname of Betes, he would never play as bold as the league in such a game, and Arsenal was taken by the power of the opponent's counterattack, and easily did not dare to take the initiative, so in the entire first half, the two sides only had a few attempts to attack, and the total number of shots on goal was less than ten times, but the competition between the two sides in the midfield was very fierce, and people could often see the scene of people turning their backs.

Arsenal showed a blood surname rarely seen in the previous three seasons after reawakening their fighting spirit, and Liverpool has never lacked toughness under the leadership of the Jay team, so both teams played sparks in this game, and the referee once took out three yellow cards to quell the churning anger of both sides.

It wasn't until 11 minutes left in the first half that Arsenal finally broke the deadlock, Klich went straight to Adebayor on the left, who broke through to the bottom line and crossed by Reyna in front of the penalty area, Flamini organized again, Hleb made a wonderful 2-by-1 with Xiaofa in the penalty area, and then cleverly knocked back Diaby, Diaby strode into the right side of the penalty area, and the volley from a small angle rebounded into Reina's calf and bounced into the net.

The whole process of scoring was quite tortuous, but God forbid, allowing Arsenal to take a 1-0 lead.

Four minutes later, Arsenal made a comeback, and it was Clichy who crossed from the bottom and Reina struck the ball out with one punch before Adebayor's header, and the Liverpool fans on the sidelines were all shocked into a cold sweat.

Liverpool weren't the ones to fight back, as they launched a quick counter-attack after two successive threats, and in the 41st minute, left-back Aurelio stepped forward on the edge of the box, cleverly lobled past Toure and volleyed in for Almunia to make a brilliant save to save Arsenal.

But good luck doesn't follow, 2 minutes later, it was Aurelio who assisted on the left, the ball kicked to Eboue and bounced off the bottom line, Gerrard took a corner, Hyypia nodded the ball at goal, Senderos only hated that he didn't jump high enough, he didn't grow tall enough, and the ball grazed his scalp and flew into the goal.

Liverpool looked very excited after the equaliser, although they have one less midfield than Arsenal, but Kuyt and Little Pony are the main runners, but they have the upper hand in the midfield, and once pressed Arsenal's goal.

Having managed to survive the first half, Arsene Wenger immediately made a change at half-time, replacing Toure, who was obviously unfamiliar with his new position, and replacing it with Descartes to revert back to 442, with Cesc Fabregas dropping back and Flamini in the middle, which is also the most regular second-half formation used by Arsenal this season.

As a result, Arsenal suffered an unexpected blow at the beginning of the second half, Flamini was stepped on by Gerrard in the scramble, and had to limp off the pitch with the support of the team doctor.

Alexander. Song was appointed to become the seventh player to form a double midfield with Xiaofa this season, but his introduction did not allow Arsenal to stabilize their position, but Liverpool took advantage of Arsenal's brief confusion to score another goal.

This time it was Reina's long-distance ball that counter-attacked, Crouch headed the ball with his height, Torres stopped the ball and shook Sendros to shoot from a distance, Almunia couldn't save the shot from this tricky angle, and Liverpool took a 2-1 lead at home.

At the same time, in the aggregate score of the two legs, the Liverpudlians also took a 3-2 lead, and it seems that Arsenal are more than lucky this time.

Wenger had to make changes again in the face of such a situation, Walcoat put on the field to replace Diaby, who lacked the ability to break through, although both of them still had minor injuries, but Wenger had only a few people in his hands, and he now has no mood and capital to rotate.

Theo Walcott's appearance had an immediate effect, because he was very afraid of his speed, Liverpool's left back I Aurelio had to be pressed by Aurelio on the backline, lost Aurelio's left assist, Liverpool's wings flew together and broke a wing, and Arsenal regained the advantage on the field again.

In the 69th minute, Walcott ran wildly with the ball on the side, using his speed to continuously force Brother Xiao Ma and Aurelio, looking at his figure of disappearing, Brother Xiao Ma could only cross his waist behind him and scold angrily: "Isn't Nima afraid of running a red light?" ”

As a result, Walcott's low flat ball to the bottom line crossed the middle, and Descartes happened to appear on the path of the ball, and Liverpool's vice-team Hyypia was shocked when he saw this, and quickly flew to the ground to block the eye, but unexpectedly, Descartes opened his legs and missed the ball, and Adebayo behind him shoveled and scored, making the heroic actions of the Finnish defenders all useless.

Arsenal levelled the score at 2-2 and a point ahead on away goals, and Liverpool's freshly acquired good fortune was about to be lost.

In the face of such a predicament, Liverpudlian people of course did not want to be restrained, their fans sang the famous team song in the audience, cheering for every Liverpool player, and their captain Gerrard also stood up at the right time and became the team's anchor.

In the 84th minute, Babbel, who had just been replaced, broke through on the right side of the penalty area. Song and Cesc Fabregas both pulled him down from behind, but the referee went straight to the penalty spot, which he thought was in the box!

Xiaofa and Song hurriedly stepped forward to argue, but the referee ignored the two people's statements and continued to uphold their original verdict, as a result, Gerrard hit the ball into the upper left corner of the goal with a strong shot, and Almunia's confused eyes reflected the Arsenal players' overwhelmed mood at this time.

After working hard for a season, seeing that the team's morale is about to reach its peak, is it necessary to have a bamboo basket to fight for water?

In the league, Manchester United has thrown the Gunners off 6 points with Ronaldo's crazy state, and a wave of five consecutive draws has made Arsenal lose not only confidence, but also the advantage of leading the standings for most of the season, and in the League Cup and FA Cup, Arsenal has already been eliminated, and now the only remaining Champions Cup, seeing that there is only more than 6 minutes left for them to redeem, this time, can Arsenal escape from death?

The first player to stand up and say "no" to defeat was Descartes.

It seems that since that locker room outrage, Descartes is no longer the "little man" in the eyes of his teammates, and the way those teammates look at him has changed a lot, and even Walcott, who usually chats with him, has begun to have something else in his eyes when he looks at him.

It's hard to tell whether these things are estranged or admired, but Descartes can clearly feel that those teammates are no longer talking to him in a childlike tone, and their conversations with themselves are beginning to become serious, a little less intimate but a little more respectful.

Descartes understood that this was the price of growth, and he had not seen this situation before, and when he entered the senior team of Pavia, he had already experienced this feeling, and Pavia's teammates teased him like a child at first, but as he got better and better, and his position in the team became more and more important, those people spoke to him more and more seriously, and even vaguely regarded him as a leader.

It's just that I didn't expect that I couldn't achieve this status in two seasons at Arsenal, but I unexpectedly gained such respect after a lot of catharsis that I couldn't bear it.

Descartes didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing, but he knew that in order to establish his authority within the team and finally fulfill Henry's instructions, he had to appear in the team's dressing room in such a posture, and a player who could not be feared could never be the leader of the team.

Descartes is on this path.

In the team's most critical moments, he had to prove that he was worthy of such a position with his actions, so he took the initiative to stand up and was ready to accept such a burden.

In the 89th minute of the game, the Liverpool midfielder lost the ball, and Walcott once again ran along the side with the ball, this time Mascherano and Aurelio were smart, and the two did not go up to force him at all, but blocked his path and walked and retreated, and the distance between the two and Walcott was maintained very well, so that he could not use his speed to break through again.

Walcott had to slow down and wait for his teammates to help, at this time, a red and white figure flashed out of the corner of his eye, and without the slightest hesitation, Walcott immediately passed the ball.

It was Descartes who had the ball, and he struggled to shake off Skrtel's entanglement and retreated to meet Walcott for the ball.

But soon, before Descartes could stop the ball at his feet, he felt a pressure behind him, and he could hear from the voice of the opponent's shouting that it was Liverpool's captain Steven Gerrard.

"What a prince of physical strength!" Descartes had to praise the spirit of the Jay team, he had been running on the court for 89 minutes, and he still had the strength to get back into place so quickly, this guy's will was simply tenacious.

However, Descartes did not want to admit defeat easily, although he was much inferior to Gerrard's strength, but he did not think that Gerrard could easily break his ball.

He leaned behind him to stop Gerrard from reaching out from behind to stab the ball away, and then suddenly jumped over the ball and stepped on it with one foot, and he completed the turn with such an unbelievable movement.

Although he turned around, but at the same time exposed the ball between him and Gerrard, the Jay team reacted quickly, seeing that the ball at Descartes' feet did not move, he immediately stretched out his foot and prepared to poke the ball away again.

But just as his toes were about to touch the ball, Gerrard found that the ball actually jumped, not very high, but just slipped over his instep, and the Jay team could only watch the ball roll behind him.

It turned out that after Descartes jumped over the ball, the right foot he stepped on on the ball merchant immediately slid to the bottom of the ball, and the moment Gerrard stretched his foot to destroy, he flipped on his tiptoes, and the ball happened to go over Gerrard's outstretched instep and fell behind him.

Then Descartes kicked the ground with his left foot, and instantly caught up with the ball that rolled behind Gerrard, and at this time, Jay's right foot had not yet landed, and the center of gravity was too late to retract.

The ball was imaginative, and the most rare thing was that Descartes did it in one go, and even an experienced player like Steven Gerrard was deceived, and although he was a member of the Arsenal team, he still won a lot of cheers from the Liverpool fans outside the stadium.

In the eyes of Liverpool fans, although Descartes had a wonderful time, Hyypia, Skrtel, Carragher and others behind Gerrard have already stood up in time, even if he successfully broke through the defense of the Jay team, he can no longer threaten the door of Liverpool, what does it matter to cheer for such an opponent who does not give up even if he is doomed?

But Descartes soon turned the applause of the KOPs into an exclamation with his performance, and when he broke through Gerald, he was actually startled by the large patch of red that followed out, Skrtel and Hyypia teamed up to seal it, and Carragher was also eyeing him behind him, and his seemingly wonderful breakthrough actually caught himself in a tighter trap?

Descartes didn't have time to think any more, Skrtel's foot was outstretched, the ball was between the two of them, and if he had taken a step slower, the breakthrough would have been ruined.

The tight time did not allow Descartes to think any more, so he instinctively stretched out his foot to flick the ball to the left, then slid past Skrtel's toes and rolled forward.

But there was another foot sticking out in front of him, and it was Hyypia!

The old Finnish defender has been perfected, Skrtel missed the ball, but he happened to be affected by the ball rolling path, this time, I believe Descartes can not do anything, right?

Just as Hyypia fantasized about poking the ball out, and then Arsenal's attack was terminated, and the referee was about to blow the whistle for the end of the game, the ball suddenly disappeared from his sight!

It was Descartes again, and he took a big step with all his might, staggering and stabbing the ball again just as Hyypia was about to stab it, and the ball slid past Hyypia's toes and continued to roll quickly and tenaciously towards the Liverpool penalty area.

Descartes then crawled past Hyypia in a row, causing the old Finnish defender to almost flash to his waist.

This is the benefit of a low center of gravity and a faster step on the foot.

Before Hyypia's remorse and horror could pass by, another red figure appeared in front of Descartes.

And a Carragher!

Although Carragher played at right-back in this game, he has developed a keen sense of position after playing at Liverpool for a long time as a centre-back, and when Descartes broke through Gerrard, he was back in the middle, and when he saw Descartes break through Skrtel and Hyypia in an almost impossible situation, he did not hesitate to rush up, even if he wanted to destroy the ball at all costs.

It seems that the distance between Carragher and the ball is much shorter than the distance between Descartes and the ball, and Descartes is powerless to return to this ball.

Carragher was filled with joy, but to be on the safe side, he didn't poke the ball with one foot like Skrtel and Hyypia, he first stood in position and let the ball roll between his legs, so that even if Descartes stabbed the ball first two times forward, he would have enough time to stretch out his legs to intercept and even let Descartes pass the ball.

But when Carragher stood in his position and calmly prepared to destroy the ball with his big foot, he was horrified by the fact that Descartes, who was already hunched and disorganized, stabbed the ball in front of him again, and this time, the ball did not slide through either side, but directly under his crotch.

Descartes has long been unable to control the direction of the ball, he can only make the most instinctive reaction in the shortest possible time, that is, to quickly stab the ball, as for whether it can be stabbed, what will happen after the stab, he has no care.

However, there was providence in the dark, and Carragher's self-believing position allowed Descartes to poke the ball between his legs in an impossible way, and by the time he reacted and subconsciously tightened his legs, Descartes had already crawled past him with his hands on the ground.

That's right, Descartes did "crawl" over, his center of gravity was already unknown, and in that moment of lightning, he stabbed the ball three times in a row, past three Liverpool defenders, but he himself had lost his balance, and he could only rely on his hands to support the ground so that he would not fall.

The Spanish goalkeeper was stunned, his vision was blocked, and he couldn't understand how Descartes broke through the layers of heavy soldiers in front of him, but he only had one thought now, and that was to rush up and destroy the ball, and never drop the chain at the last minute.

As an excellent goalkeeper, many of his actions don't need to go through the brain's thinking, like this kind of pounce, it has become an instinct of his, he is even ready for follow-up actions, pounce up, cross his body, block all possible shooting angles, and then everything is left to fate.

At this time, Descartes had just barely regained his center of gravity by holding it on the ground, and he knew that it was the most critical moment to fight for Reina, and whoever could touch the ball first could win the final victory.

So he gritted his teeth, ignoring the groaning of his spine that seemed to be faintly coming from his waist, and shot it like an arrow.

The spectators on the sidelines had stopped all sounds, everyone covered their mouths in disbelief and held their breath, they had never imagined that a breakthrough that seemed to be stillborn would be stumbled into the penalty area by Descartes, the previous superior mentality and cheers had disappeared, and they now had only one concern: Will Descartes break through Reina's ten fingers again in a completely impossible situation like breaking through the three defenders?

Tens of thousands of eyes and probably tens of millions of eyes in front of the TV were firmly fixed on the ball at the moment, and the ball didn't know it, it was still rolling forward slowly, waiting for the two warriors who rushed up to decide its final fate.

Almost, just a little! Descartes was pushing his body desperately, and he could sense that his pace was still a little bit off, and Reyna had a good chance of getting the ball before him.

As an experienced goalkeeper, Reina can naturally judge that there is a good chance that this ball will be touched by himself first, so he is greatly relieved, what he is pursuing now is not to destroy this ball, but to find a way to take it into his arms.

So he started to bend sideways two or three meters away from the ball, and when he was close to the ground, his height would block all the shooting routes on the ground, and as for the pick, Reyna believed that with the distance between Descartes and the ball, he would not have a chance to make such a move.

Now is the time! Descartes saw the gap in the moment when Reina's body began to tilt, and he could no longer care about his awkward running position, and threw himself out like a punching bag, a rather desperate sliding tackle, and his goal was not to get the ball out of Reina's control, but to poke the ball under his side first.

As long as you poke it, it's an empty door.

Reina also found out about Descartes' attempt, and he was horrified, it was impossible to readjust his center of gravity and get back up again, he could only throw himself to the ground desperately, no matter how much it hurt, he had to hope that he would stick to the ground before the ball passed under his ribs.

Life or death, in the split second of this white horse.

The tension at the scene was condensed to the peak, witnessed by tens of thousands of fans, they saw Descartes' soles stabbing the rolling football, and the football was about to fall to the ground at the moment, the football playfully passed under his armpit, and then was pressed by his back, jumping and began to roll forward, Descartes fell, Rainer hugged his feet, and Carragher behind him jumped over the two people who were entangled on the ground regardless of the same together, struggling to chase the ball, and then in Carragher's horrified gaze, The ball bounced across the goal line and the referee's whistle blew.

The goal works!

Not only did the ball silence tens of thousands of KOPs in the audience, but even many TV commentators seemed incoherent.

"This, this, this...... This goal goes in, goallllllll Descartes, Descartes, Descartes, Descartes! "Commentator Brian Brown, who has been commenting on football for Arsenal for 23 years. Moore couldn't contain his excitement, in his career as a commentator, he had seen countless kills or quasi-kills, but none of them made him feel so passionate, Descartes almost all the way to the state of rolling and crawling past three Liverpool defenders, and then desperately sent the ball into the Liverpool goal, the whole process looked unaesthetic, but full of blood and amazing fighting spirit, this ball may be the least chic continuous passing shot, But everyone who sees it can feel the indomitable will of the spirit of never giving up.

'It's the best goal in the Premier League this season, even if Cristiano Ronaldo scores another 40 goals, he can't have a shot like that!' Brian. Moore commented on the goal with tears in his eyes, and in his opinion, the goal not only pulled Arsenal back from the edge of the cliff, but also brought Arsenal's never-give-up spirit back to the world, and compared to the meaning of the ball, the goal itself was like slag.

Liverpool's on-site commentators also lost their voices on the goal, he could loudly criticize the goal for not being aesthetically pleasing, but he cursed the Arsenal players loudly like shit, but he had nothing to say about the goal itself, it was not a demonstration of skill, it reflected the spirit of never giving up, this is the essence of football, he could not criticize this goal with a clear conscience.

Even the 56,000 Liverpool fans in attendance were conquered by the goal, they stopped booing and cursing, and applauded Descartes' performance in unison, although compared to a minute or dozens of seconds ago, their applause no longer had that relaxed mood, but for such a goal and such a player, they could only use applause to express their respect.

Arsenal's players were about to go crazy with joy, just a few minutes ago, they thought that the season was coming to an end again, Gerrard's penalty made their hard-won fighting spirit gradually disintegrate, but Descartes gave them hope again with such a goal, the score is 3:3, the aggregate score is 4:4, Arsenal are about to eliminate Liverpool by the advantage of away goals.

The Arsenal players flocked to Descartes like crazy, only to find that the hero of the goal was still lying on the ground and had not gotten up, his brow furrowed, not as ecstatic as a hero who saved the world.

The Arsenal players on the field immediately chuckled in their hearts, and a bad premonition finally became a reality when they gathered around Descartes, who didn't want to celebrate, but his hand pressed the back tightly, and he was injured!

The team doctor immediately ran into the field, and after a simple diagnosis, they believed that Descartes had sprained a back muscle, and if it was severe, it was likely to be a torn muscle, which was difficult to deal with and would take at least 2 to 3 months to recover.

Looking at Descartes who was carried on a stretcher by the team doctor, Wenger on the sidelines was almost crying, he was almost unable to make up the starting lineup of 11 people, how could this ball be played?

The picture of Descartes being carried off the field made the Liverpool fans burst into applause again, not ironic, many fans even couldn't help but stand up and applaud him, they now know that the goal not only looked thrilling, but also really had to pay a big price, Descartes's injury, obviously because of his selfless dedication and even his own safety, such a spirit, indeed worthy of such a heavy goal.

The team doctor's stretcher came to the sideline and stopped, they put the stretcher on the ground, and then Descartes reluctantly turned his head and looked into the field, and everyone immediately understood that Descartes was waiting for the game to end, and he wanted to see that his hard work was not in vain before leaving the battlefield.

The eyes of the Arsenal players on the field turned red all of a sudden, and they secretly swore in their hearts that even if they gave up their lives, they would definitely save the goal that Descartes bought with his life.

Walket and the others gave Descartes two thumbs up, they said that they would give Descartes all peace of mind, and the game would be handed over to them, and Descartes had a smile on his face, and he believed that these teammates would not let him down. (To be continued.) )
