Chapter 151: Liverpool on the rise

"Hey, why is it that at half-time, the Liverpool players look happier, and the Arsenal players are very unhappy."

"Hey, things in this world, it's not terrible to lose, the most terrible thing is that when you need it most, he just withdraws, just like Sesk."

There was a lot of discussion, and with Fabregas's departure, except for those who didn't watch the game, everyone else knew that Arsenal's mood had gone down.

On the contrary, Liverpool's players took the initiative in the final two or three minutes of stoppage time.

"Phew, the situation has reversed, Arsenal is not easy to play now.

It is clear that after the loss of Sesk, the operation of Arsenal's midfield has lost its efficiency.

Liverpool's players began to consciously break through with the ball in the midfield, and they needed to find fighters, and they didn't need to worry about being beaten and counterattacked, and they were more daring. ”

At half-time, Lineker sighed and analyzed the situation in the last minutes of the first half.

There is no doubt that Arsenal's attack will rely more on Ho in Sesk's down, so his interception task will be more on Song and Denilson.

I don't think it's going to break down completely, maybe a little passive, but if you keep their pace and focus, they won't be reversed all at once.

Liverpool will be liberated in the second half, that's for sure.

However, Liverpool also have to solve their own attacking problems, and how to activate the vitality of the three people in front of them is what they need to consider next.

The second half will be more intense than the first, and Liverpool will not be able to fight back without seizing the moment.

And Arsenal, this game is also going to win the opponent.

Although it is a little unkind, but Sesk's fate will be a good game for neutral fans, and it is not certain that the game will be watched because of it.

The midfield of both sides, in this game, rebalanced, it depends on how Wenger and Benitez adjust in the second half. ”

Compared to the pessimism of most Arsenal fans, Mortensen seems to have much confidence in Arsenal.

And there's more anticipation for the game.

It can't be said about the expectation of Arsenal, but the expectation of the game itself.

Obviously, this expectation is also present with Benitez.

I thought that my midfielder was explained like this in this game.

Who knows that the core of the opponent's midfield is injured, although the player who is more deterrent on the defensive end is still on the field, but it is enough.

The impact is reduced, and the midfielder can handle the ball more calmly on the field, and the predicament can naturally get rid of it.

"Listen, in the second half, you have to distribute more of the ball to the wings and let the wings be your weapon to tear apart the opponent's midfielders.

Kuyt, Babbel, you also come back in time to strangle the Oriental's line.

Let those 17 and 15 be isolated and fight back at the right time.

Lucas, keep an eye on the other party's No. 8 and don't let him have more contact with Hao.

In a word, how they dismembered you in the first half, how you dismembered each other in the second half, and found the ball.

Remember, what you're here for, to get the three points, your purpose for the season, the championship, the championship, do you understand!! ”

Obviously, in the final stages of the first half, Benitez figured out a solution.

With the way of others, the opponent attacked the core of the game, and also gave himself a God-given opportunity.

Benitez had no reason not to take advantage of it, and his own attack on the flanks in the first half simply didn't open up.

This made the Spaniard very unhappy, and when he entered the dressing room, Benitez naturally had to put a lot of emphasis on it.

The sharp tone shows that this chubby Spaniard has not been as friendly as he seems to be.

"Guys, we need victory! For the champions! "Champion !!"

Gerrard was the first to respond, and naturally caused the rest of the Liverpool team to respond loudly.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of the away dressing room, in the Arsenal dressing room, it is much quieter, and more Wenger seems calm.

Because Arsene Wenger has nothing to blame for his players, and so far his players have performed very well.

As for Cesc Fabregas's injury, it can only be said that it was too unlucky, although every time.

However, Wenger is also used to injuries, and is more helpless.

The important thing is to grasp your strengths.

'In the second half, you kept the rhythm and kept your focus.

Move the ball faster, move quickly through the half, make a fuss in both of their ribs, and try to get them back on both sides, you see? ”

A simple tactical adjustment, but Arsene Wenger was more targeted.

Arsene Wenger could naturally see that Liverpool's two wings were trapped in the first half by the lack of strength in their midfield and could not get more possession.

In the second half, Benitez naturally had to activate his attack on the wings.

Coupled with the departure of Sesk on his side, the quality of the attack will inevitably decline, and the pressure on the opponent's midfield will also decrease, and the situation will be more difficult in the second half.

However, Wenger has no choice, the game has always been up and down, since it is unavoidable, he can only adapt as much as possible.

In fact, Arsene Wenger's attention is more about his favorite Spaniard's injury, and this game has been perfect so far.

More content, there is no more, there is a real shortage of people in my hands, and there are no cards to play.

Arsene Wenger can only hope that the ace in his hand, Cesc Fabregas, is not too injured and that he does not rest for too long.

In the midst of Arsene Wenger's preoccupation, the 15-minute break was over and players from both sides came on.

"Toot!"

With a whistle from Barry, the game resumed.

Liverpool launched the first wave of attacks, and soon the two teams became entangled.

At this time, Liverpool's position has been different.

In the game, Alonso, who was originally behind Gerrard, constantly crossed or parallel to Gerrard's position, and it was Lucas who was really behind them.

The two top midfielders began to consciously contain the rhythm of the game.

Liverpool no longer blindly attack from the middle, but play wide.

Gerrard no longer took the ball in a position far ahead, there was no spot in front of him, and they consciously gave the ball to Babbel and Kuyt.

The midfielder formed a double core, but quickly diverted the ball to the side.

Use their speed to advance the entire Liverpool offensive line, so on the field, Liverpool formed a huge shock flow from the beginning to suppress Arsenal.

The situation immediately took a turn for the worse...

"It's over, it's over, it's over!"

"Dirk, Dirk erased!"

As Liverpool's players resolutely execute Benitez's wide tactics, Liverpool's attacking threat has emerged time and time again.

Arsenal's tactics against Arsene Wenger have not yet been implemented, and Liverpool's side has exploded one after another.

Although Kuyt does not have the talent of his compatriot Robin van Persie, his hard work has made him an absolute model worker for Liverpool.

As soon as Benitez was asked to play on the wing, Kuyt immediately showed his qualities as a model worker.

Charge after charge, fight again and again.

At the same time, he actively cooperated with Gerrard in the middle, Alonso, and Roy Keane in front of him, making him look extremely sharp.

In the space of ten minutes or so, Kuyt created three chances in a row to leave Arsenal's defence in turmoil.

And Liverpool's two full-backs also consciously pressed.

From the very beginning of the second half, Liverpool's players played on the wings.

Whether it's Nasri or Walcott, the defense on the flank, can't be said to be scum, but an absolute dish.

Denilson and Xiang Hao had to be pulled to the side many times to fill the position, and the remaining Song was alone, carrying in the middle.

"Damn, what the hell is going on?"

"Why do they look like they've changed teams?"

In the stands, Arsenal fans became anxious and uneasy as they saw their team sinking into passive defense step by step.

In this case, they never thought of it, they thought that their team might be passive, but they never imagined that the other party could turn the situation around all at once.

The difference between heaven and earth makes them a little unacceptable.

"Now it seems that if Liverpool had been in the first half like this, it would not have been Arsenal who had the lead.

It is unthinkable that a small change in Benitez can bring such a big result. ”

Seeing the reversal of the situation on the field and the great change of Liverpool, Lineker said with emotion.

"Well, but Benitez's tactical change is actually a change of soup and not a change of medicine, and Liverpool's real killer move is still in the middle.

No matter how Liverpool's wings Kuyt and Babel pushed forward, they eventually dropped the ball down the middle.

Then there is Alonso or Gerrard to complete the last pass, on the wing, just their way of dividing the Arsenal midfield interception.

Give the ball to the wide players to break through, increase the area of the Arsenal players' defensive area, and let Liverpool's entire midfield get out of trouble.

Then there are Alonso and others, who have completed the processing of the last goal, and Liverpool's attack has turned a corner, but it has become more and more threatening.

I have to say that Benitez's analysis of the field has its own uniqueness.

Arsenal are in trouble now, Liverpool are attacking, and their defensive pressure has increased.

And on offense, I'm afraid there is no way to put more effort into it, and they have lost Sesk.

The real challenge for Arsenal is here. ”

In the face of Liverpool, who were aggressive in the second half, Mortensen couldn't help but worry about Arsenal.

However, no other Arsenal fans seemed so shocked and incredulous.

The same goes for Lineker, because since the departure of Cesc Fabregas, they have already guessed that Liverpool are going to make a move.

This Liverpool has the absolute strength to challenge for the championship, and they will not let go of any opportunity.

That's a mature team, and once they take their chances, they're not going to be kind.

The gap, that's the gap between Liverpool and Arsenal right now.

In the first half, Arsenal relied on the containment of the midfield, had the initiative on the field, and did not score more goals.

In the second half, when Liverpool reversed, they were able to create more of a threat.

That's the effect of a mirror.

It is also what Wenger is looking forward to this game, so that the players can recognise the gap between themselves and the mature team.
