Chapter 46: What a Scene?

The 10 minutes ended with a 1-1 scoreline that went into the dressing rooms of both teams.

The atmosphere is all good.

Liverpool not only did not receive training after making mistakes, but received strong support from the manager, and their morale and morale, mostly young, were high. The 15 minutes of halftime were just enough time for their hot heads to cool down and think about whether there was a better way to beat their opponents than to be unrestrained and intense.

This kind of seemingly laissez-faire move by the head coach is actually very valuable for a team that is on a good upward trajectory. Of course, the premise is that the laissez-faire guys have both the ability and the heart to live up to this trust.

Owen, Fowler, Gerrard, McManaman, Hyypia, Carragher, some of these people have proven themselves, some need to prove themselves, but without exception, they are all guys with strong hearts and enough abilities. This kind of opponent and this kind of atmosphere in front of them is not only a difficult challenge for them, but also a rare opportunity to improve.

As soon as the 15 minutes passed, the whole team was already impatient.

Arsenal went from falling behind to equalising and then seeing hope of victory, that is, less than half an hour. It's exciting to be able to get the game back in such a short period of time, and it's exciting to switch to any team. Morale is such a thing, sometimes the turning point is subtle, sometimes it is obvious, and the current situation is needless to say that it is also the latter.

In addition to this, there is a clearer understanding.

If the poor performance of their opponents in the opening game made them a little light, it was the beautiful counter-attack that followed that completely woke them up.

The opponent is cunning, and by no means as vulnerable as it seems!

When the opponent is really taken seriously, the unreserved offensive battle of both sides can easily arouse a strong desire for conquest in their hearts.

Anfield?

Arsene Wenger was unsurprisingly praising his team's performance at half-time, and although he did not name names, the excitement was evident in his words and demeanor. The manager's optimism easily infects the players. So that they are already full of confidence when they don't get out of the locker room.

Unfortunately, a basin of cold water was quickly poured on the head.

In the 49th minute of the game, Liverpool's ground attack, which had been ineffective, finally came to fruition with unremitting efforts. Fowler and McManaman combined in the middle of the lane and the latter completed a straight ball to the centimeter!

Owen, who received the ball in the penalty area, first shook off the defense in front of him with a fake shot, and then took a step to the right and drew a wonderful big arc with his right foot!

The ball that went straight into the corner was finally saved by Seaman. Positional left centre-back Martin Keown was also not slow to react, sprinting diagonally and smashing away the ball without waiting for it to hit the ground.

With too far away from his body and facing the goal, Keown finally managed to complete a half-turn volley.

Although it looks powerful, the ball does not fly high enough, and it has just flown out of the penalty area not far away, and the guy who has arrived has already appeared in front of the ball!

Gerrard!

In the face of the ball flying like a cannonball, his young face was very calm, and there was no tension in frowning and inhaling cold air. The body moving at high speed first came to an emergency stop. Jumping high again, leaning back, and after a muffled "bang", the ball obediently landed three meters in front of him!

Tony Adams rushed at high speed and was really careless.

The Englishman made the same mistake as Hyypia in the first half, choosing a normal judgment to base himself on, only to be crushed by the opponent's exaggerated physicality!

Gerrard stabbed the ball away first, and then completed a close slash on the line of the penalty area!

Seaman's vision was blocked by his teammates who came back to his senses to make up for the defense, and he could only sigh at the ball.

Inside the Anfield stadium boiling again. Gerald is like a goshawk soaring with wings outstretched, his hands outstretched. With his completely tireless body, he pointed to the team emblem on his chest over and over again, silently telling the desire in his heart.

It may only be the desire that Yumo reads.

Here, my home.

"What are you looking at?"

Ljungberg glanced at the guy who was in a daze, and couldn't help but remind.

"I've known this guy before." You Mo replied casually.

"Well, he also participated in the '93 World Junior Championships." Ljungberg nodded.

"Yikes. Do you know this? You Molen paused for a moment, and then added, "I didn't expect you to be my fan?" ”

"Uh, that, you were at the time. The performance is a bit surprising. Ljungberg was stunned by this shamelessness and stuttered a little.

"What about this guy, what kind of heights do you think you can reach?" You Mo smiled and asked again.

'It's good, the mistake in the first half could have left a psychological shadow on other youngsters who were making their debuts, and his ability to withstand pressure was commendable.

"Well, it's a big heart, so we'll have to work harder."

"yes, I hope they keep playing like that."

"Yes."

As soon as the voice fell, the game had restarted. The situation is indeed as Yu Mo said, and the offensive war continues.

In fact, it is normal to choose to attack in this situation, after all, there are still 40 minutes left in the game, and since you did not choose to defend and counterattack when you were leading in the first half, there is no need to lower your morale at this time period.

The Arsenal players felt that they had taken their opponents very seriously, but now they found that this height was still not enough, and although they were unwilling to concede the goal, there was nothing in doubt about the whole process. In this situation, the nerves that had been slightly relaxed at halftime tensed again, and there was almost no communication, and everyone quickly threw themselves into the intense game.

Such a hard-bridged and hard-horse contest is so rare that Anelka, who has a grudge in his heart, has no intention of caring about anything else, and does his best to be active in every corner of the midfield.

The quality of Liverpool's defence was not bad, but they chose to play against Arsenal.

In the 57th minute of the game, Arsenal, which overwhelmed the opponent many times in a one-on-one state, won consecutive corner kick opportunities, and after the first two failed to return, the third time finally made some changes.

The first two times were on the left, this time on the right, and after Bergkamp waved and refused, Ljungberg, who took a rare corner, stood in the corner. Put your hands on your hips, look up, and take a deep breath.

The Swede still hasn't established himself in this team, and the right to take penalties such as free-kicks is still out of reach, and the rare opportunity in front of him makes his heart beat all the way up, and he needs to calm down quickly before he can continue to think.

Penalty take-offs are taken in addition to tactical corners. It is nothing more than two kinds of internal rotation of the foot and external rotation of the reverse foot. For those who control the landing point accurately, the former of the two methods is not easy to be directly obtained by the goalkeeper, but because it is far away from the goal, it is more of a test of the individual ability of the point grabber. The latter has a flatter arc and is closer to the goal, which is relatively more testing of the free kick footwork of the penalty taker.

Ljungberg has been the winner of all free-kicks in the youth team, but has never had a chance to show his quality in competitive matches in this team. Logically speaking, with a well-balanced left and right foot technique, he would definitely consider using his left foot to make a precise outspin ball.

OK. The guy who had been communicating with him during the game appeared in his field of vision at this time.

After smiling slightly, the Swede adjusted his position, quickly retreated, and took three steps in a row with small broken steps, a large arc of his right foot!

The ball had a high arc and strong spin, and it didn't start to fall until near the big penalty line in the middle, and it didn't seem much of a threat to everyone. Just guard against the second landing point.

Ljungberg agrees with this view, in his opinion. Because he pursued the accuracy of the goal too much, he ignored the simple truth that for every meter away, the difficulty of scoring with a direct header doubled.

And, in addition to that, he found out that he had made another mistake.

The guy in the target didn't step on the rhythm and sprint in from outside the penalty area, but started in advance to prepare for the back point!

This has to be said to be a misunderstanding.

You Mo and he have not practiced free kicks, although they usually communicate with each other a lot. The habit of playing football is still very unfamiliar. The Swede's switch from left to right foot was split second, and he took it for granted that his opponent was watching his every move, ignoring the fact that it was impossible to keep his eyes on the ball before grabbing a point.

As a result, with such a small time difference, You Mo had already missed the opportunity to bombard the header after the high-speed sprint, but everyone was staring at the ball. When trying to react, the impression of the impossible made everyone feel like they were back in the last round of the league.

Arsenal vs. Sky City!

You Mo originally rushed to the back point facing the goal, but after running two steps, he found that something was wrong, so he kicked hard with his left foot, stepped on the brake and made a rotation of less than 90 degrees to the right to facilitate the observation of the landing point.

If you don't look at the result, you can only react instinctively after seeing it.

The left knee that stepped on the ground bent slightly, and the calf muscles contracted, tensed, and exploded at an alarming rate!

After the body rose into the air, the waist had been bent to nearly 90 degrees, and the whole person was like a cobra that was preying, the upper body rotated to the right, compressed, and after reaching the limit, it bit the prey in vain at a terrifying speed!

After a loud "bang", everyone was dumbfounded.

"No, there's no run, just jumping on the spot, jumping on the spot?"

Zhan Jun came back to his senses earlier than ordinary people, and it was rare to stutter a little.

"That's too much of an exaggeration, look at the slow mirror! Wow, that's incredible, 4 times slower to put down his movements and still be extremely smooth! The ball was a bit backward for him, and although judging the landing point in advance helped him adjust the position, the time left for him was actually minimal! ”

"It's true that there is no run, and when the time is too late, it is impossible to threaten the goalkeeper just by relying on the head and neck to exert force, so he quickly twisted his body with a very exaggerated amplitude while jumping!"

"This kind of reaction speed is really not like what normal human nerves can do, maybe only a natural killer can use muscles and nerves to complete the next action in such a short period of time without going through the brain!"

"The amazing waist and abdomen strength made up for the lack of impact caused by jumping on the spot, and Liverpool goalkeeper Fred obviously didn't expect him to throw his head directly at the goal, and finally just subconsciously waved his hand and let the ball easily enter the net not far from his side!"

“2:2! Fans who stayed up late to watch the game could cheer to their heart's content, this is a classic battle worth remembering no matter who wins or loses! ”

"When the Gorge meets, the brave wins, is it the elegant Gunners Arsenal or the iron-blooded Red Army Liverpool?"

After roaring, a boulder in Zhan Jun's heart finally fell.

Judging from the on-the-spot performance, it is not surprising who wins or loses between the two teams, but as a die-hard Liverpool fan, even if there is no tendency on the surface, the feelings in the bottom of my heart cannot deceive me. The moment Gerrard overtook the score, he was about to jump out of his chair with excitement.

Yes, this Liverpool team may not be strong, maybe it is a little inexperienced, maybe the road ahead is bumpy, but after such a game, no matter what the result, he is as confident as this team for tomorrow!

In addition, the guy who worried him the most completed an extremely crucial tackle, not to mention, the iconic explosiveness of this goal shocked him again!

When he was young, he developed a huge interest in the green field under the influence of his father, although it is rare to have the opportunity to play in person as an adult, but as a veteran football fan, who has not imagined that he is in the spotlight of thousands of people, and the scenery of the four enemies is infinite?

The guy in front of him is said to have received no formal professional training before the age of 13, but he can create such a moment that people will never forget at first sight by integrating his excellent kung fu into the free body feeling when playing wild ball!

In his opinion, as long as the fans who really understand the ball, there is no way not to be moved by this shocking moment, unconsciously attracted by this guy, and even from black to fan, from passers-by to fanatical fans.

So what's there to worry about?

Cheer on such a game!

Thinking of this, Zhan Jun felt much more at ease.

Even if the rest of the game was not as good as it could have been, the game was so satisfying that he couldn't have asked for more.

It's a pity that the bland ending didn't appear, and God wants to make the story even more unexpected.

In the 77th minute of the game, the Arsenal team, which was unwilling to take away only one point from the away side, replaced Youmo with Wiltord and continued to strengthen the offensive. After Owen was substituted due to injury, Liverpool, who had a significant drop in physical strength, were forced to switch to positional defense, making it difficult to organize an effective attack. But just when everyone thought the home team was about to die, a frustrated Anelka gave the fans in the Anfield stands endless hope with a hurried shot.

Gerrard, who seemed to be the protagonist of the game, could not have imagined what would happen next. (To be continued......)
