Chapter 133: Dressed in Red
The score of 0:0 remained until half-time, and both teams entered the locker room with their heads held high. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's actually all good.
Arsenal have more chances and have a clear advantage on the field. Liverpool defended solidly and counter-attacked sharply. Despite the very bad weather conditions, the two teams continued to perform at a high level and did not let accidents become the deciding factor in the game.
The fifteen-minute break flashed by, and the players of both teams rushed out of the tunnel.
Before he could get to his place, the heavy rain had already soaked the freshly changed jersey.
Arsenal have maintained a scoreless situation and are trying to find a balance between creating chances and seizing them.
That's often the case when it's playing.
Focusing too much on creating great scoring opportunities can overcomplicate the offense and often go down the drain if a link is not executed well. Putting all hope on the ability to take chances will make the attack too simple and crude, not to mention the low success rate, and Arsenal's front-line configuration is not suitable.
Pire, Wiltord, Rosicky, Henry, all four guys are the type with excellent skills at the feet and a delicate style of play, playing an impact style of play that doesn't pass wide open and close. The poor conditions limited their technique at their feet, forcing them to take a more direct approach.
However, for golf businessmen, the solution is not impossible, but it needs to be found through continuous exploration.
Swap roles!
This swap of roles involves a change of position on the field, the handover of possession, and the swap between the assister and the scorer.
For example, in the central axis of Rosicky and Henry, the former was originally responsible for combing the attack and sending threatening passes, while the latter was responsible for seizing the opportunity and striking a fatal blow. After the role reversal, the former is no longer obsessed with creating opportunities, but wanders on the edge of the penalty area, firing like a killer. The latter transforms into a demoman, attracting the attention of his opponents and delivering beautiful passes.
Because it is not his old job, he often follows the knee-jerk reaction when executing it, and kicks more directly. As a result, the cumbersome offensive link has been simplified a lot, and the closer to the opponent's goal, the more simple and direct the kick is. But when there is still some distance from the opponent's penalty area, the guy who was originally responsible for seizing the opportunity can focus on organizing the attack and creating opportunities, which can alleviate the dilemma of no rice to a certain extent.
This role swap was originally the product of skillful cooperation, but now due to special circumstances, they need to complete the swap in a short period of time. Fortunately, their opponents are also unfamiliar with this kind of exchange, and the existence of mental inertia interferes with the concentration of the defense, which can be regarded as lowering the requirements to some extent.
So after trying three or four times, the wonderful rhythm was found again, even if it was dark and the road was not familiar, it could not stop the sparks shining between the geniuses to light up the audience!
In the 62nd minute, Rosicky took the ball on the right side of the front, and after colliding with Wiltord, he handed it to Henry, who received the ball with his back on the edge of the penalty area.
Lean on your opponent, take a step sideways, and hand it to Pire, who comes forward to answer him!
Non-stop, straight to the right, target, Wiltord!
Buckle back at the bottom line, and pass the inverted triangle to Henry, who is facing the goal on the line of the big penalty area!
Take a step to the right, open up the space to shoot, raise your right foot high, drop quickly, and hit back in the middle!
Rosicky!
Plug in at high speed, take a step forward, and shoot angrily!
The ball was like a crescent moon, crossing a distance of fifteen meters, grazing the goalkeeper's fingertips, ignoring the graciousness of the goalpost, and insisting on falling into the net!
Outside the instep!
He actually used the outside instep to complete his first goal at Arsenal!
There was silence.
The Liverpool fans, who were still raising their arms and shouting before, stood quietly as if they had been wet with memories by the heavy rain, silently looking at the number 7 player running freely in the center of the pitch. Even the corner of the pitch, where the Arsenal fans gathered, was blinded by the sudden joy, and they needed to be confirmed repeatedly before they could scream and scream to their heart's content.
Three games, only three games, Rosicky, who has just been in the team for less than a month, used lightning speed to complete the process from substitute to core, and used a wild way of playing, in such a game that may determine the harvest of the whole season, a fatal blow!
The goal came in such a timely and crucial manner that Arsene Wenger could not hide his excitement and trotted briskly to the warm-up of the substitutes and gave the Czech a solid hug.
Although there is a language barrier, a sincere smile will go directly into each other's hearts and leave an indelible mark.
......
Scoring goals is really crucial.
When the pursuers are approaching, nothing is more important than a six-point battle.
In addition to the widening gap between the real ones, the morale of each other is also very obvious. Especially Liverpool, a young army whose performance is not stable, if it takes advantage of the time and place, not only fails to overturn the mountain overhead, but turns the original five-point gap into eight points, it will have an indelible impact on the subsequent games.
At the critical moment when the semi-finals go hand in hand, a loss in a six-point battle is likely to become a turning point for the whole season!
The Liverpool players understood this very well, so they quickly picked themselves up after conceding the goal and began to fight back!
Only by being on the edge of a cliff can you maximize your potential. At the end of the game, when both sides were physically exhausted, they fought a life-and-death battle against the powerful invaders in their own territory like a pack of hungry wolves!
Not surprisingly, as the fitness of both sides wore fast through the heavy rain, they gradually took the initiative and kept Arsenal firmly at half-time.
Due to the tight schedule and slippery pitch, they had to resort to simple and crude long passes to solve the problem. So at the most critical moment of the game, Youmo and Lehmann became the hope of the Arsenal people to keep the fruits of victory, and every offensive and defensive battle made all the spectators worry very much.
No way, for the Liverpudlians, one of these two guys is responsible for guarding the gate, repeatedly turning into an octopus at the most dangerous times, blocking all kinds of shots. The other roamed all corners of the forbidden area, and every time before the threat was generated, he had already turned them out with a murder weapon with his whole body!
For the Arsenal, a one-goal lead is simply not safe, and the possibility of an accident at any time magnifies this insurmountance to the point that the two most reassuring guys in the team can't make up for it.
Time was ticking by, everyone was struggling, and even the managers of both teams, were so engrossed that they ignored what might have happened.
In the 78th minute of the game, the goal did not come, and the last thing that all Arsenal people wanted to see happened.
Rosicky strained his thigh muscles during a hard comeback and went off the court on a stretcher.
A loud sigh rang out in the hearts of the Arsenal people, and the silent accusation annoyed Arsene Wenger.
He is not yet 20 years old, and he has not yet been in the Premier League for a full month, even if he has become the core of the team, he cannot be used unlimitedly!
There are still three long months left in the league, and the Champions League has just entered the knockout rounds, and the impact of losing the core of the team at this time is really immeasurable!
This was originally a game that belonged to him, but in the end it ended up like this, how can it not be heart-wrenching?
......
"Damn, I forgot about this stubble!"
The accident came too suddenly, and even You Mo was not spared, and after scolding secretly, he narrowed his eyes.
The guy didn't intend to take the blame for the manager, so after confirming Rosicky's injury, he shut up and was silent like a rock.
In this team, his presence often overtakes that of the manager, but in fact all his power comes from the manager, and the club's hierarchy is not optimistic about how much a guy under the age of 20 can make a difference in the role of assistant coach.
In such a situation, if you blindly brush up on your presence and use your prescient ability to show yourself, you can only further weaken the authority of the head coach and cause turmoil in the dressing room.
Even if Arsene Wenger is notoriously indulgent to young people, he can't put himself above the manager without limits, and the pot that should be carried and the reward that should be received must be 1510, clearly.
In this situation, the assistant coach does have the power to remind, and it is not impossible to blame himself after something has happened. In fact, he was once reminded by Lu Wei that Rosicky's thigh muscles are relatively fragile and belong to the type that is prone to injury, and it was indeed his negligence to fail to remind the head coach. But if you take care of it and put the pot that originally belonged to the head coach on yourself, it will inevitably make the players wonder.
Who has the final say in this team?
This is a matter of principle, and once touched, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble!
"It's a pity that the boss's replacement is late."
Lyman is a straight-hearted, but he also knows the seriousness of this, and this is said in Yumo's ear.
The thing nodded violently, and replied in a low voice: "I guess the intestines are all repentant!" ”
Lyman sighed twice, his face tensed again, and he roared loudly: "I'm sorry for the little train of Tobas if you don't take three points, don't you say!" ”
You Mo was taken aback, and almost threw the German to the ground, and after hearing the content clearly, he couldn't cry or laugh, so he could only cheer.
"Who's to say it's not, but 1:0 is too boring, and the audience is looking forward to another one!"
A thunderous roar resounded throughout the stadium, and it was supposed to work well, but it was a pity that the two of them had apparently forgotten the most important thing.
It's all German!
Except Arsene Wenger, no one else can understand the language of birds!
Time was pressing, and the game started quickly after the substitutions were completed, and the two had missed the best opportunity after realizing the problem, and the effect of saying it in a big way was obviously going to be reduced.
With the temperament of these two people, it is better not to say it in this situation!
Don't say it, show it with action!
In the 86th minute of the game, Liverpool launched an attack on the right, Gerrard and McManaman solved the defensive problem with a beautiful one-two, and a wonderful curved ball was passed from the bottom line!
To describe it as "wonderful", it is naturally fast, the arc is just right, and the landing point is just outside the control of the goalkeeper!
Michael Owen was originally in some positions and could only head back, but now he was suddenly inspired and talented!
Half turned, kicked hard with his left foot, his head was on his feet, and his body rose into the air!
Upside down golden hook!
The unimaginable action was both chic and sudden, almost in the blink of an eye, and the right foot that was picked up was already firmly kicked in the middle of the ball!
Just when all the Liverpudlians were excited, clenching their fists and ready to cheer, the guy they hated so much came out of nowhere and crashed head-on!
After a muffled sound of "bang", the two fell to the ground at the same time, and the ball swirled and flew towards the sideline!
The blood flowed like an infusion.
This time it was replaced with the left brow bone, but the injury was more exaggerated.
The long wound ran from the temple to the middle of the forehead, and it looked like it was in danger of breaking.
The silence, the silence that quickly descended, made the whole stadium silent, and only the big screen that refused to give up was still playing what had happened in that moment.
Actually, it's nothing, it's just that when a killer turned into a guardian, he didn't forget his secret weapon. Although it seems to be extremely brave, it is actually a purely subconscious move, and it is natural to get used to it.
Of course, others don't think so.
"Damn, kicking the head like this will kill people, do you know it!"
Lyman actually saw it very clearly, knowing that this thing was just a flesh injury, and even the possibility of a concussion was much reduced because of the cushioning of the ball. However, the big players in the team have been injured one after another, and the morale will definitely be affected, and if you don't take the opportunity to find something to divert everyone's attention, the result of the game is still difficult to say!
In the end, it worked out well, and the Arsenal players were furious, and at the cost of paying two yellow cards, they succeeded in getting a yellow card for the purely unintentional Michael Owen.
After the riot subsided temporarily, You Mo, who was lying on the ground, stopped the bleeding with the help of the team doctor, stood up, and walked to the sidelines.
"Michael, I really didn't mean to!"
Gerald's voice sounded behind him, a little unwilling.
"I know." You Mo didn't look back, there was no emotion in his voice.
Because of the thought that there might be someone waiting for him in the locker room, this thing was a little unhappy. In addition, leaving the arena in this situation and saying that I am not worried is a lie to the child.
"You'll be back, won't you?" Gerald still didn't give up, chased after him for two steps, and shouted again.
This time, before they could respond, the angry Arsenal players roared.
"What do you mean, you don't think your feet are hard enough?"
"you X, do you really think he's a red card?"
"XX raised, come on, come one-on-one!"
In the midst of the shouting and scolding one after another, the Liverpool players couldn't hold back a little, and their eyes became unkind. Gerald ignored it and followed Yumo all the way.
It was only when he walked to the sidelines that he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'll say I'm sorry to you on his behalf, I hope you can accept it." ”
You Mo turned his head, a little surprised.
Xuan was relieved and smiled, "Good luck to you." ”
With that, he turned around and walked towards the locker room without looking back.
“mo...... Did he accept it? ”
Gerard muttered to himself and ran towards the center of the field, unaware that he had become the center of attention, the focus of the camera.
Puffed up his chest, squinted his eyes slightly, like a rain man, dressed in red. (To be continued.) )
