Chapter 152: Arsenal in Decline
'It's got Gerrard, Liverpool captain, Steven Gerrard.
Iconic long shots, world waves!
1-1, drawn!
Arsenal is too far inside, Liverpool in the middle has always been a threat, and Song Ding is slow to go out. ”
1-1, in the 58th minute of the game, from the beginning of the second half, Liverpool, who had been attacking around Arsenal, finally scored.
It was still a combination of the side and the middle, and Gerrard was outside the penalty area, and a powerful heavy cannon knocked on the door guarded by Almunia! ”
"Whew, it's flat."
After Benitez saw this goal, he breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but clench his fist, the corners of his mouth flashed a hint of pride, and looked at the person opposite.
Calm eyes, hands on chest, sculpture-like face, looking at everything on the field.
Arsene Wenger was calmly a little intimidating, and the ball didn't surprise him too much.
In fact, from the very beginning of the second half, Arsene Wenger knew that the opposition would play on the wing.
It's just that I didn't expect the opponent's offensive to be so ferocious, and it will enter this rhythm change faster.
That's the sign of a mature team, they're more comfortable with the pace of the game, they're more in control of the tempo.
Once the momentum of the game is captured by them, then it is very difficult to lose the opportunity again.
I used to have such a sharp team, but now, I am still on the way to re-walk.
Arsene Wenger was a little embarrassed, but the game was still going on, and his journey would not stop.
Arsene Wenger quickly drew his eyes to the close-up and began to focus on the game.
Since conceding goals is inevitable, it is important to be yourself.
Arsene Wenger couldn't help but keep his eyes on the flying number six, knowing that Liverpool couldn't possibly keep up this attacking posture all the time.
That's not a question of their ability and maturity, it's physical fitness, and every stage has a problem at every stage.
Sixty minutes is the time of physical fitness, especially away games.
Without the support of the fans, that feeling of depression will make the players consume faster in terms of physical fitness.
And at this time, it may be your team's chance.
Sesk has already left the game, and the responsibility of organizing the attack in the midfield still falls to Hao after all, hoping that he can bring him a miracle to himself.
After being scored by the opponent, the Arsenal players could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
It's not that the Arsenal players don't have morale, but Liverpool's breath lasted from the end of the first half to the second half, and it didn't end.
The Arsenal players can't suppress the opponent in attack, and they can only wait for Liverpool to make a difference.
It's a pity that they didn't hold on and let Liverpool calm that breath by themselves, instead of venting it on themselves.
In the way of conceding a goal, let the opponent 'go back', the Arsenal players are somewhat unwilling.
Especially Xiang Hao, according to K Niu, he is an extremely domineering bastard.
A draw wasn't what he wanted, let alone a loss.
If you lose this game, then your team and Liverpool will have a few points to 12 points.
In this game, Xiang Hao and his teammates were absolutely unwilling to accept a draw.
You know, even if it's a draw, Chelsea's side will stretch their points to 10.
And after the New Year, the schedule is getting denser, and it will be more difficult to catch up with the League Cup, FA Cup, and Champions League.
Not only does Xiang Hao want to win, but the other team members are the same.
If Xiang Hao is still the otaku fan of the past, according to the strength of Arsenal, he still wants to compete for the championship and the championship on all fronts.
He will definitely scoff at this kind of thought, and all kinds of black things will enter.
But he's not, he's a witness, a member of a team, a player at Arsenal.
As a player, from standing on the field, it is to do your best on the field, for the club, for the fans, and for yourself, to compete, to fight, to win, and even to win.
This is a predestined responsibility, but also a vocation, an innate mission.
It has nothing to do with ability, has nothing to do with status, and has nothing to do with strength.
As long as you don't give up, you have to fight to the end.
This is an attitude, but also a professional morality.
When it comes to the field, everyone has their own choice, but here, this kind of minimum professionalism is something that every player will have.
After experiencing all this, Xiang Hao realized that sometimes winning the championship is not just a shout, it is really the hope of the players.
It's just a little restrained and a little flamboyant.
No one is born with a penchant for failure, especially at the big clubs in Europe, and from the moment they put on the shirt, they feel different.
Whether it's a mission or pressure, they all drive themselves to act towards the goal in their hearts.
Now, Xiang Hao's action is to lead the team to win.
Liverpool players are stepping on Arsenal's corpse and reaching the top of the Premier League.
The Arsenal players also can't afford to lose, for their own ideals and goals, this game has to fight!
Liverpool maintained their attacking momentum on the wings, while Arsenal attacked ferociously, making frequent fuss in their own two ribs.
Whether it is Xiang Hao or Nasri, he is suddenly more diligent; Whether it's Denelson or Song, they grab more; Whether it's Van Persie or Walcott, he runs smarter.
The game fell into an unusually anxious state, although the absolute chance did not appear, but on the field, the non-stop offensive did not stop.
And with the anxiety of the rhythm and the passage of time, people have found that the most ferocious one is not necessarily the one that attacks the best and most efficiently.
Liverpool's maturity was more pronounced in the time that followed, and the situation gradually tilted.
After scoring a goal to equalize, Liverpool didn't press hard and didn't have that kind of one-hit-and-kill attacking mode.
Liverpool's players began to gradually control the tempo, play more calmly, and jumped to a certain level.
In this regard, Benitez, who has been shouting on the sidelines before, is not dissatisfied, on the contrary, he still has a sense of pride.
Benitez understands that after scoring a goal, the pressure is no longer on his side.
The same team that wants to win, a draw, the home team is undoubtedly more anxious.
Especially since they are still the side that is being overtaken, this kind of pressure is not something that the young or even young Arsenal team can relieve.
And it's not necessarily a good thing to keep running crazy with such a 'hot-blooded' player.
Before his own team crushed Arsenal, he was likely to be killed by his own back-and-forth, high-intensity game.
When the time comes, the other party will make a counterattack and fight it, then it will be bad, the other party's blood will gush all of a sudden, and he can't hold it.
When their own players are on the field, they can maintain their own offensive routines after tying.
This is what Benitez wants to see the most, unhurried, and according to the eagerness of the Arsenal players, Benitez believes that the opportunity for a fatal blow will always come.
The Spaniard waited quietly for the situation on the pitch to change.
"Gogogog-o, Arsenal!"
"Attack-Hao!"
"We're going to score - Robin!"
…
Endless shouts echoed over the Emirates Stadium.
As the game time went on, Arsenal fans also saw their own team and seemed to be stuck in a kind of stalemate.
Can't attack, weak and inexplicable offensive rhythm.
They see it in their eyes and are anxious in their hearts, so they can only cheer their players with their voices.
Hopefully, they can break free from this weird rhythm and take the lead again.
It's a pity that the wish is good, but the reality makes Arsenal fans more and more anxious.
Compared with the eagerness of the Arsenal players and even the fans, the performance of Liverpool's players on the field is more kingly.
It was as if the score was not 1-1, but they were ahead of Arsenal by a big margin.
Using the manipulation of the Arsenal players, Liverpool quickly took the initiative on the field, and a calm bearing gradually appeared in the Liverpool players.
The game also went into a kind of slow tempo, which belongs to the slow tempo of Liverpool.
And this rhythm made Alonso wishful, and before he knew it, the Spaniard began to exert his power, and the role of the command tower appeared.
Every time he plays the ball, Alonso is like a subtle Chinese medicine practitioner, who can feel the pulse.
Liverpool's two wings did not re-enter the calm because the rhythm was lowered, on the contrary, a more penetrating intersperse, constantly generated.
In Alonso's transition, sharp and concise attacks continued to emerge.
retreat, continuous retreat; Fill, crazy fill.
Xiang Hao and the others were eager to attack, but they unconsciously fell into the rhythm of the other party, and the game fell into a one-sided situation at the last moment, and they suddenly felt like they were clenched by their necks.
Whether it is attacking or defending, Arsenal's players have been reversed by Liverpool and held in the palm of their hands.
'Whew, you're young. ’
Looking at the situation on the pitch and falling into embarrassment in the final stages, Wenger sighed in disappointment.
This is a mature team, they can be passive for a short period of time, but once they turn over, their momentum is like a mountain that presses you, binds you, and can't turn over.
And their own team can play a whirlwind quickly, and the offensive can also surge.
But I feel aimless, no matter where I am, it is very fierce, but I breathe very quickly, and I can't stay for a long time.
Hao is a genius, but the aura of controlling the court requires a long time of play, accumulation, or stabilization.
Compared to Alonso and Gerrard, he is still a few years away.
Arsene Wenger is going to make a substitution, not to change Xiang Hao, but to replace Nasri and Walcott.
The two of them didn't run less today, but they didn't run out of effect, so it's better to let them come down and rest for a while.
You must know that Nasri has just recovered from injury, and Walket is also injured.
Having already folded into a Cesc Fabregas, Wenger would never want to see any more problems with anyone.
It's a pity that the old man's wishes are beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
"Toot!"
