After the restart, the battle between the two teams was not very challenging.

Arsenal are still attacking and their style of play is like that, they don't go to the edge because they are one goal ahead, this is Arsene Wenger's Arsenal, attacking is synonymous with them, they don't become conservative just because they are ahead.

Arsene Wenger sat firmly in the dugout.

So far, the Frenchman has been satisfied with the team's performance, and although Liverpool scored a goal in the opening period, Arsenal have found their form and overtaken the scoreline, and the most satisfying thing for him is that the team has regained its form from behind.

Arsene Wenger knows his team well.

Full offense and full defense is their tactic, and defense is not necessarily passive, his team is to use offense to defend, when the opponent has the ball all players have to retreat to defend, this kind of defense is relatively active, due to the many players who come forward when attacking, the threat will be relatively greater.

Arsene Wenger believes Arsenal can win the game as long as they maintain this form.

On the other side, Benitez is also quite satisfied with the game, Liverpool is playing defensive counterattacks, although Arsenal overtook the score, but now no team in the world dares to say that the attack in the face of Arsenal can hold the goal, and Liverpool is naturally no exception.

It's normal for Arsenal to score goals, and it's normal for them to overtake the scoreline, and the key to winning or losing the game is whether the team can find the feeling of counter-attacking in the next time.

Against Arsenal, it's not about defending, it's about how many goals are scored.

Defending counter-attacks, counter-attacking is also quite important, and in situations where there is no guarantee that we can keep the goal, natural goals are also crucial.

If the opponent is Chelsea or Manchester United, one goal behind is likely to determine the winner, but when the opponent is Arsenal. Benitez has nothing to worry about, because Arsenal are at Highbury Stadium and will never defend conservatively.

There's still a lot of game time and they're going to have a lot of chances.

It depends on the ability of the front.

Benitez looked at Zhang Tiehan running on the field, he knew that Zhang Tiehan's goal today was the key to the decisive victory, if Zhang Tiehan could score again. The team will play very smoothly if they tie the score, on the contrary, Zhang Tiehan can't score, and it is not easy for other people in Liverpool to break the Arsenal goal, so if you want to win, it will even depend on God to get points.

In the final stage of the first half, Liverpool still maintained an unhurried attacking range, Benitez did not make adjustments, and the players played according to the original tactics.

Arsenal are getting better and better. They were in complete control of the situation on the pitch.

In the tailwind game, the advantage of attacking and defending was fully reflected, and each of their players was fully engaged in the game, creating a threat to the Liverpool goal again and again in the front, which made Liverpool's defense precarious again.

Some Arsenal fans began to hope that the team would score again before the end of the first half to open up the gap.

To score three goals for Liverpool in one half is wonderful.

But what the Arsenal players didn't notice was that they were putting in the game. While enjoying the feeling of being in control of the game, the work of 'full defense' is becoming more and more slack. Everyone wants to attack, everyone has to plug in, and the Liverpool defense is retreating very much, which makes Arsenal press forward, and under this situation, Arsenal is less and less concerned about defense. Especially when the game entered stoppage time, Arsenal almost pressed Liverpool in the half.

But what they don't realize is that Liverpool is not a small team in the Premier League.

Although Liverpool has not achieved good results in recent years and cannot catch up with Arsenal at all, they are also Premier League giants. The overall strength is not much worse than Arsenal, not to mention, after the arrival of Zhang Tiehan this season, Liverpool's results are better than Arsenal.

With the same strength, suppressing the other party like this will definitely cause problems.

They paid for it.

In the second minute of stoppage time, Arsenal full-back Ljungberg made a mistake when linking up with striker Adebayor, and the ball was cut off by Reese, who grabbed the ball and passed it to Gerrard.

Gerrard was in the middle and was caught between two Arsenal players after winning the ball, and he didn't hesitate to pass a long diagonal pass to Garcia in front of the left.

In the entire first half, Liverpool's most active attack in addition to Zhang Tiehan, there was only Garcia, the Spaniard has been trying to create a threat with Zhang Tiehan, but Arsenal pressed too hard, he had no chances, and he didn't like to defend.

So Garcia's position has always been a little bit forward.

But it didn't matter, he was the top player on the flanks and now when he got his chance, the positional advantage was evident, and Garcia got the ball and was ready to move the ball to the middle with a big kick where Alonso was already following up.

Alonso reacts quite quickly!

When Reese broke the ball and saw him pass to Gerrard, Alonso ran forward without hesitation, Cesc Fabregas next to him didn't react at all, and when it was time to follow, Alonso had already thrown him a few positions.

At the same time, the Liverpool formation quickly advanced towards the Arsenal half.

Zhang Tiehan was up front, Cisse was close behind, Alonso and Garcia were in a straight line, and when Alonso jumped over the halfway line, there were only three Arsenal players in front of him - right-back Flamini, centre-back Toure and Senderos.

Flamini's position was simply not going to stop Alonso, with Toure defending Zhang Tiehan all the time, only Senderos coming up to meet him.

Alonso has rarely been to people.

This time, seeing that there were Cisse and Zhang Tiehan in front of him, he did not choose to pass people, but passed to Cisse with one kick.

Flamini was still desperately running towards the middle, Toure was defending Zhang Tiehan, Cisse was unguarded, and he got the ball and kicked forward.

That's where Toure's veteran experience comes into play.

He did not hesitate to give up Zhang Tiehan and go forward to defend Cisse, when he did this, Zhang Tiehan was in an offside position when he arrived, it was impossible for Cisse to pass the ball, Zhang Tiehan was running forward, and when he saw Toure doing this, he could only stop and wait.

Flamini followed.

At this time, a three-three-three situation was formed in the frontcourt, Alonso and Senderos were at the end, Cisse was entangled in front of Toure with the ball, and there were Zhang Tiehan and Flamini laterally.

Cisse wanted to kick over Toure, but Toure was not so easy to match, he took a few kicks forward and made a few moves that failed to fool Toure, and in the end he could only turn and protect the ball.

Time waits for no one to fight back.

Time is of the essence, Cecedo delayed for two seconds, and the rest of the Arsenal players could follow, so he was still carrying forward with the ball, but he already knew that he could not shake Toure alone, and his eyes swept to Zhang Tiehan's position.

Zhang Tiehan was coming to answer, he had a good position against Flamini, and Cisse passed the ball without hesitation.

Zhang Tiehan got the ball!

The hearts of Arsenal fans tugged at the moment.

Liverpool's counterattack made Arsenal fans panic at the beginning, they thought that the first half would end like this, but they didn't expect Liverpool to have such a counterattack opportunity, Arsenal's players didn't have time to retreat, and as a result, there was a three-V-three situation in the backfield.

When Alonso passed the ball to Cisse, Arsenal fans were even more worried.

But Toure's decisive choice made Zhang Tiehan's position a little embarrassing, it was not easy for Cisse to get rid of Toure, Flamini came to defend, and it was not so easy for Cisse to pass the ball, but in the end Zhang Tiehan still got the ball, which made Arsenal fans extremely worried.

Cisse, they are not worried.

Cisse hasn't scored for a long time, and I've never heard of Cisse having any crazy appearances, and Zhang Tiehan takes the ball, even if he has Flamini in front of him, Arsenal fans still feel that this is more threatening than Cisse alone.

As for Flamini's defense, Arsenal can't bear to look at it directly.

Flamini is a midfielder who can also play as a full-back, but he is not very good defensively, having joined the local club Marseille as an apprentice as a teenager. Flamini made his debut for Marseille on 20 December 2003, closer to 2004, at the age of 20, and went on to make 14 appearances as Marseille reached the final of the UEFA Cup, only to be beaten by La Liga contenders Valencia.

In the summer of 2004, Flamini was signed by Arsenal.

This is his second season at Arsenal, but there's no denying that Flamini has been a backup player for Arsenal and only got a chance to start due to Arsenal's recent replenishment and injury crisis.

Such a player to defend Zhang Tiehan, who is rampant in the Premier League?

What can you expect from him?

Arsenal fans feel that it is better to count on goalkeeper Lehmann to have any outstanding appearance, but what they didn't expect is that this time Flamini's appearance is good, after Zhang Tiehan took the ball, Flamini was not deceived by his small actions, but stood firmly in front of Zhang Tiehan, so it was very difficult for Zhang Tiehan to break through.

Flamini's idea was simple, it was to drag time.

As long as he can drag on for a few seconds and the rest of his teammates come back to defend him, his defense is equivalent to success.

Zhang Tiehan naturally didn't want him to succeed, that would mean that he lost the opportunity, but Flamini didn't move, and it was difficult for him to bypass it.

After just over a second of stalemate, some people made a judgment!

"Flamini blocked Zhang!"

'He defused Arsenal's goalmouth crisis!'

"He's done a great job this time!"

Seeing that Fabregas and others in the back were about to chase after him, Zhang Tiehan would soon fall into a situation of being besieged, and the Arsenal fans also took a long breath.

But the next moment their hearts rose again, and Zhang Tiehan made a choice - he passed the ball!

This was a big surprise!

Almost no one would think that Zhang Tiehan was still passing the ball at this time, in Zhang Tiehan's style, even a long-range shot directly has the possibility of scoring, although there is not much chance of that, but this is Zhang Tiehan in the eyes of fans, but at this moment Zhang Tiehan really passed the ball, and this ball passed quite eye-catching-

The ball passed between Flamini's legs and rolled sideways in front of Cisse!
