44. Liverpool vs. Arsenal
Standing in the passage leading to the stadium, Qiu Ze looked up at the famous mark in the player's tunnel - this is Anfield!
The mark began in the Shankly era, when the legendary Liverpool manager of the 70s and 80s wanted to remind his players who they were playing for and who their opponents were playing against. It has almost become a tradition for many Liverpool players to raise their hands and pat the mark before entering the stadium in search of good luck.
In the days when Liverpool swept the world in the 80s, this quote was a constant reminder to the terrified visiting players: this is your hell.
Although the current Liverpool is no longer the invincible division of the 80s of the last century, this mark is still a deterrent to outsiders who try to invade Anfield, and Anfield is still the devil!
Looking at this mark, Qiu Ze felt that his body was full of liliang, and he had endless energy.
Like Qiu Ze, Liverpool's players are all holding their heads up, staring at this particular mark, which seems to have become a belief among Liverpool players.
The Arsenal players seem to have consciously avoided the mark, not wanting to see it.
At this time, the referee on duty, Chris 61 Webb, signaled the players of both sides to play, and the game was about to kick off.
Arsene Wenger's line-up today was a bit unexpected, as Dutch striker Robin van Persie did not appear in the starting line-up, and there was no news of his injury before the game.
It didn't matter so much, the referee was afraid that Chris 61 Webb had already blown the whistle for the start of the game, and the Anfield fans immediately cheered.
This is Anfield! The Liverpudlian made their stance clear to Arsenal from the start.
Just eight minutes into the game, Liverpool got a very good chance, Xavi 61 Alonso in the back field directly long pass to Qiu Ze in the front.
Qiu Ze, who received the ball and was advancing at high speed, suddenly stopped sharply and made a move to shoot from a distance, and Arsenal's back Eboue seemed to be a little too excited, and immediately fell to the ground and shoveled the football at Qiu Ze's feet.
Qiu Ze's long-range shot was just a feint, he watched Eboue shovel towards him, pulled the ball behind him very quickly, and then knocked the ball outward with his heel to accelerate past Eboue.
Qiu Ze, who had broken through Eboue, picked up his right foot again, and this time it was not a feint. Without waiting for Arsenal's goalkeeper Almunia to react, he suddenly fired a long-range shot.
The shot was a surprise to the Arsenal players, and Almunia's save looked rushed, but fortunately, Qiu Ze's shot was not from a very good angle, and he barely managed to lift the shot over the crossbar.
"Woohoo! Very sudden shot! Shortly after the start, Liverpool had a shot on goal, and it was very threatening! Liverpool showed with their strength that this is Anfield! Anfield's glory is inviolable by any team! BBC radio announcer John 61 Mortenson said.
Corner kick! Liverpool won a corner, the first corner of the game for both sides, and Liverpool's Qiu Ze went to the corner area to kick the football.
Qiu Ze drove the ball very well, but Fernando 61 Torres, who followed up the header in the middle, did not hold it down, and the football was pushed out of the bottom line by him.
At the beginning of the game, Liverpool were very strong and their attack was sharp. However, Arsenal were not in a mess and they quickly organised their first attack.
Almunia took a goal kick and his ball was on target, straight to the head of Hleb in front.
The Belarusian star jumped up and battled with Xavi 61 Alonso, and Hleb grabbed the ball first, and he ferried it to Cesc Fabregas, who came up to pick him up. Cesc Fabregas was a player who the Liverpudlians agreed before the game that he had to be carefully targeted.
Now Cesc Fabregas has the ball, and Mascherano is rushing to stick to Cesceragas. However, Cesc Fabregas did not delay after winning the ball and before Mascherano could come up, a sudden split shot sent the ball to the feet of Clichy, who had the assist.
Clichy looked at the situation in the front court, and when he crossed with his feet, he looked for Adebayo, and the 'little monster' jumped. However, under Carragher's pressing, Adebayo was uncomfortable wanting to hit the goal with a direct header, and Adebayo reacted immediately, ferrying the ball back to the middle.
Rosicky came up and faced the football, the Czech volleyed the ball off the post and bounced back into the box, and Hyypia drove the ball out of the box before Flamini could come up to shoot.
The Arsenal team's attack was very threatening, hitting the post of the Liverpool goal, but it scared the Liverpudlian people a lot, and the Arsenal people were very sorry.
At the beginning of the game, both sides got into the game very quickly, and the game was tense from the start. And Arsenal's first attack was very threatening, almost scoring.
Arsenal's players were in high spirits and they stepped up their attacking efforts and finally had another good chance five minutes later.
Arsenal won a well-placed free-kick about 30 metres from Liverpool's goal on the right side of the pitch.
Suddenly, the fans of the Liverpool team began to get nervous, this position is very good, and it is very likely to concede goals. Benitez couldn't sit still anymore at this point, and he quickly got up from the dugout, walked to the sidelines, and watched the ball nervously.
The Liverpool players were even more nervous, and the players lining up the wall were all on their feet, as if they wanted to make themselves a little higher. At this time, Qiu Ze retreated very deeply, and he didn't think about counterattacking at all. At this time, the most nervous is Liverpool's goalkeeper Reina, who knows very well how much pressure he is under now, so he roars at the wall, hoping that the players will be able to concentrate.
"Bang!" It was the Gunners' midfield centrepiece Cesc Fabregas who took the lead and when he struck the ball with his right foot, Belarusian Hleb had already crossed the ball and covered him to more or less interfere with Liverpool goalkeeper Reina
"Whoosh!" On the turquoise lawn of the Emirates Stadium, a rainbow appeared
Cesc Fabregas's footwork has always been extremely exquisite, and he is also a typical representative of the jishu-type midfielder in today's Shijie football, this free kick, he kicked a huge arc of banana ball, and in the blink of an eye, it flew straight into the top right corner of the Liverpool goal.
"Good shot!" BBC radio football commentator Mark 61 Laurenson couldn't help but roar when he saw such a beautiful kick flying out.
He roared until he was fine, but he shocked the Liverpool fans into a cold sweat!
However, anyone who sees Cesc Fabregas's free-kick will give the same admiration as Mark 61 Laurenson.
It was a free-kick of great quality, and the Liverpool fans were a little lost.
Almost everyone thinks that this ball is undoubtedly after all, and only one person is still doing Zuihou's efforts
Just as the ball flew in front of goal, Liverpool's Spanish goalkeeper Reina appeared in front of the goal with his left fist......
"Bang!" A muffled sound sounded, and the hearts of everyone in the audience couldn't help but tremble!
It was him, Liverpool's goalkeeper Reina appeared in front of the goal, he touched the ball, and the Liverpool fans at the scene immediately burst into cheers......
However, Reyna was unable to get the ball straight away, but his fist changed the course of the ball, and when the ball hit his fist, it bounced off the crossbar and out of the corner kick.
"Oh!" Now, Liverpool fans feel very lucky, they saw the free kick sent by Cesc Fabregas earlier, and really thought that this goal was a must-score. It's not that Liverpool fans don't have confidence in Reina, it's that Cesc Fabregas's free-kick was perfect
"Alas!" The Gunners fans let out a long sigh and they didn't expect the Liverpool goalkeeper to be able to save the goal that was sure to be scored, which was a shame, and they collectively let out a sigh of loss
"What a pity! It's a shame that such a beautiful free-kick didn't break through the Liverpool goal. However, Reina's performance just now is really heroic, if it weren't for Reina, I think Liverpool's goal would have been penetrated! BBC radio announcer John 61 Mortenson lamented.
Arsenal's shot stimulated the Liverpudlians, who immediately launched a ferocious attack and attacked the Arsenal goal, and this was Anfield! Liverpool's home of the devil!
Liverpool fans were also cheering for the Liverpool team, hoping that the team could change the decline on the pitch.
In the midfield, it was Qiu Ze again, and after this guy received a pass from Gerrard on the side, he immediately waved his leg and made a transfer to the other side. However, Arsenal defender Eboue saw through Qiu Ze's intentions, and he immediately moved to the other side.
Seeing Eboue move towards this side, Qiu Ze, who passed the ball, suddenly pressed his foot down, did not pass the ball, but after turning in a circle on the spot, he suddenly sent the football back to Gerrard, who was rushing forward.
Qiu Ze shook off the Arsenal players to the point of allowing Gerrard to receive the ball easily on the edge of the Arsenal penalty area. Gerrard, who cut forward at high speed, just stretched his leg to stop the ball, and then crossed directly with his feet, and the ball flew into the Arsenal box at high speed.
Liverpool's centre-forward Fernando 61 Torres jumped high and smashed the ball into the Arsenal goal with his head.
It's a pity that Arsenal's goalkeeper Almunia reacted quickly and played the football out. The ball immediately bounced off and fell to the feet of the chasing Toure, who immediately turned around and gave the ball to Cesc Fabregas in front.
Cesc Fabregas received the ball, immediately turned and sent a through ball that flew into Liverpool's front pitch.
Former Belarusian footballer of the year for Arsenal on the wing, Hleb suddenly cut inside and caught Cesc Fabregas's through ball. Hleb is a very dangerous player, and Liverpool certainly won't take his marking lightly.
Xavi 61 Alonso defended Hleb, perhaps too carefully, Xavi 61 Alonso did not press as soon as he came up, but was about a meter away from Hleb, staring at the football at Hleb's feet.
Hleb clearly has full confidence in his Jishu, in fact he is also a very good Jishu player, and Xavi 61 Alonso in front of him is not a Shijie level defensive master, he is very confident to get past the Spaniard in front of him.
Hleb noticed that Xavi 61 Alonso, who was defending himself, did not press close to him as soon as he came up, and he seized this opportunity to suddenly accelerate and change direction, rushing past Xavi 61 Alonso!!
The frightened Xavi 61 Alonso hurriedly stepped forward to defend, but let Hleb shake it off with a very hidden smash.
Finnan hurriedly came up to fill in the position, only to see Hleb's upper body swaying, which made the Liverpool full-backs who rushed to lose their correct judgment and their center of gravity was biased. Hleb immediately pulled the ball past Finnan's side, and once again leapt forward, bursting past Finnan's side.
The Liverpool fans at the scene were shocked, dangerous! How can this Belarusian kid break through so easily?
"Stop him! Stop that damn boy! The Anfield stadium immediately resounded with the anxious shouts of Liverpool fans, and the Liverpool fans were really frightened and anxious.
