Chapter 380: Speaking with Goals
“Goooooooooal!”
"The ball is in!"
"Zhang! He opened the scoring for Liverpool! ”
As the various commentators reported the goal, Liverpool fans began to celebrate wildly, they have long been accustomed to Zhang Tiehan's goals, even if Zhang Tiehan has just returned, this is only the first start, but they are still full of confidence that Zhang Tiehan can score, this is their affirmation of Zhang Tiehan, and it is also Zhang Tiehan with continuous expression.
can get the affirmation of so many fans, which shows how strong Zhang Tiehan's expression is.
Now on the pitch, Zhang Tiehan also began to hug each other with his Liverpool teammates, this is not his first game with Arsenal, last season against Arsenal, Zhang Tiehan also played for Wigan Athletic, when the two teams met in the League Cup final, at the Millennium Stadium, Zhang Tiehan defeated Arsenal with a goal to help Wigan Athletic lift the League Cup trophy.
Zhang Tiehan was very impressed by that game.
The goalkeeper of that game was also Lehmann, and the two were also 'old friends', so Zhang Tiehan smiled at Lehmann for the first time after scoring the goal, which was a friendly smile, but Lehmann on the other side didn't seem to appreciate the taste, he just stared at Zhang Tiehan and didn't respond.
Zhang Tiehan wondered what he was doing.
In fact, Lehmann was still thinking about the shot he had just taken, and he felt that he should not have misjudged the direction.
Zhang Tiehan naturally won't sue him, that's because he has refined the relationship of 'qi', after refining 'qi', his football skills have been qualitatively improved, and even now he is used to shaking his feet every time he shoots, and he wants to judge what direction the football is by the moment he shoots, and this method may be effective for other players, but it is used on him. Unless the other party also has a 'see-through' magic skill, it is almost impossible Obviously, Lyman does not have this skill, so he is still in doubt until now.
Zhang Tiehan naturally wouldn't explain it to him.
Soon the game resumed.
After the game restarted, under the direction of manager Arsene Wenger on the sidelines, Arsenal once again launched an onslaught at Liverpool's half, and as the clock passed. With players from both teams in shape and Arsenal's attacking play getting better and better, Arsene Wenger believes that with Arsenal's attacking ability, even if Liverpool's defense is tight, it will not be able to completely defend the goal.
As for Liverpool's counter-attack, Wenger can't manage that much.
In many games, Arsenal's way of winning is to score more teams than their opponents, rather than conservatively not allowing their opponents to score goals and then counter-attacking, and Arsenal and Liverpool have completely different styles. Arsene Wenger and Rafael Benitez's tactics were also at two extremes.
At the same time, Wenger also shouted to remind the players not to be cut off by Liverpool.
In this kind of attack, it is the most dangerous to be broken by Liverpool to play a counterattack, as long as the opponent is not given the opportunity to steal, then the offense will be the best defense, they don't need to invest anything more in defense, as long as they keep attacking, Liverpool will not have a chance.
That's Arsenal's tactics, it's really attacking football.
Many fans love Arsenal because of their attacking football. There's no one who doesn't like offensive football, and it's a good thing to watch. Arsenal games are often watched by a large number of fans, and other teams, including Chelsea, Liverpool and even Manchester United, are no match for Arsenal.
Although modern football is more utilitarian, Arsenal have been so strong in the Champions League and have always been a favourite for the title in the league. Their attacking football still has a certain amount of merit.
Relying on constant attack, Arsenal quickly took control of the game.
They were very quick in attack and very fluid in combination, and Liverpool scored the first goal, leaving Arsenal with no other option. They have the courage and persistence to break through the cauldron boat, and the waves of attacks have made Liverpool's defense very passive, and the continuous breakthrough and straight plugging in the middle and two wings have also created quite a lot of opportunities for the Arsenal forward.
Arsenal, the most active is Cesc Fabregas.
As the game ticked by, Cesc Fabregas gradually found his form, he played quite flexibly in the middle, constantly splitting sides, passing and receiving the ball and even breaking through, helping the team find gaps again and again, this kind of appearance was really eye-catching, and the TV commentator kept mentioning his name.
"Cesc Fabregas!"
'He's breaking through Alonso! The two have faced each other quite a few times, with wins and losses, and this time it was clearly the young Cesc Fabregas who won. ”
"Fabregas again, wonderful through-stop!"
With Cesc Fabregas under the driver's side, Arsenal are working like a sophisticated machine, and Liverpool's defence looks dangerous.
This situation has Benitez a little worried.
Liverpool's defence has been good this season, conceding just four more goals than Chelsea and ranking second among the 18 teams in the Premier League, but this may be more due to his tactical role, and it is not for nothing that many media have slammed Liverpool's defense in the summer, and the only real big man in the defense is Jimmy Carragher, even the solid Hyypia is old.
Other defenders, including Warnoor, who has been in England, are not all that reliable.
In the face of Arsenal's massive attack, can their own backline withstand it?
Benitez was full of uncertainty.
Just when Benitez was worried, Arsenal's attack had hit in front of the big penalty area, Liverpool except for Zhang Tiehan standing on the middle line, almost all of them retreated, pressing on the penalty line to form a block of Arsenal's attack, even so Arsenal's continuous passing and receiving of the ball still made Liverpool a little overwhelmed.
Football to the left.
Arsenal's starting left-back was Ljungberg, who received the ball and immediately made a pass to deceive the Reese defence, who immediately slid straight past him and delivered a scalpel-like through-ball.
Cesc Fabregas!
As soon as the people who watched the ball, Liverpool was a little nervous, and a lot of things could be seen in the 30 minutes of the game, and Arsenal's Spanish boy, who was praised by many media, was indeed very good. This time, Cesc Fabregas opted for a lobbing pass.
Exclusion zone!
Henry turned around and jumped up to stop the ball with his chest, and at the same time blocked the defense with his body, and at the moment when the football landed, Henry turned around and volleyed directly!
A burst of exclamation!
The next moment, Highbury Field erupted!
"Henry! Henry! ”
“Goooooooooooooooooooooal!”
"Thierry Henry equalised for Arsenal!"
"Wonderful turn and volley!"
The commentators were talking frantically about the goal. The Arsenal fans celebrated, but the Arsenal players on the pitch didn't spend much time celebrating, perhaps because they only equalised, and at Highbury, their turf, the equaliser really had nothing to celebrate.
Soon, under the command of the referee, the two teams played again.
Arsenal continue to maintain the attacking intensity!
At this time, anyone can see it. Arsenal have played with feeling, when a team like Arsenal plays well, the opponent will be very passive, and Liverpool is like this now, although they scored first and defended well, but they are still very passive on the pitch.
Liverpool are also playing well, but they are still a little worse than Arsenal at home.
Especially in the offensive. Liverpool chose to defend and counterattack, and the situation did not look very good, and only Zhang Tiehan and Garcia were okay in attack, and others gave very little support to the attack, even Gerrard.
If it goes on like this, it won't be a problem for Arsenal to score another goal for the rest of the first half.
The media and fans felt it, and the players on the field felt it even more obviously, and Zhang Tiehan knew that it would not work like this. The team has to attack, otherwise they will remain passive. It's really hard to win, he can't dictate Benitez's tactics, all he can do is try to look for good opportunities.
As long as he can score goals, the team doesn't fall behind, the situation is still under control.
Zhang Tiehan has always done this.
He has almost half of Liverpool's attacking firepower and is Arsenal's biggest headache. His impact on Arsenal's backfield forced Arsenal to juggle the defense in addition to attacking, and with the support of Garcia and Alonso, Liverpool still played two decent attacks in five minutes.
Zhang Tiehan is not only a personal impact, occasionally he retreats to the defense. It's too late to plug in, and the through ball in the midfield is also quite accurate, which is a great threat to the Arsenal defense, which makes many people's eyes shine, Zhang Tiehan has not shown this ability before, and passing has always been his weakness, not to mention the accurate and creative straight stopper.
However, Zhang Tiehan alone is difficult to reverse Liverpool's passivity.
Arsenal attack frequently, creating a greater threat every time, they keep passing the ball, constantly creating chances, and make Liverpool tired of defending.
At this time, Henry's dominance in the front line is undoubtedly revealed, every time he gets the ball, it almost means a shot on goal, Carragher alone can't prevent him at all, almost every time Henry takes the ball, it can cause the entire Highbury Stadium to cry, and at the same time make Liverpool experience a panic.
The most important thing is the midfield, when Liverpool is passive defensive, midfielder Fabregas seems too active, young players have always been good at playing tailwind, Fabregas plays a feeling, Liverpool's defense is even more difficult, at this time their defense is already precarious.
In this situation, in the 41st minute, Arsenal's attack was effective again.
It was a very fluid attack!
The Arsenal players made 19 passes in a row in the front court, constantly passing and receiving the ball to keep the football in motion, and at the same time, it also drove Liverpool's formation to be a little chaotic, and there was no way to break the ball.
Cesc Fabregas burst in from the centre and received a pass on the left before slotting the ball into the box.
There was chaos in the Liverpool penalty area!
The players of both teams were grouped together, both paying attention to the ball, but when the ball bounced off Hyypia's right foot, many people could not find the position of the ball, so Henry took advantage of the opportunity to grab the ball, he used a small duffle to get rid of Carragher's entanglement, and sent the ball into the goal.
Arsenal scored the second goal!
“Gooooooooooooooal!”
"Henry! Brace! He helped Arsenal overtake the scoreline! ”
This time, the Arsenal players began to celebrate wildly with the commentator's words, with Thierry Henry, who had scored the second goal, and each of his teammates hugging each other.
He was quite excited!
The second goal against Liverpool was a real cause for celebration, considering that Thierry Henry had never scored a goal before.
In addition to celebrating, the French did not forget to look at Zhang Tiehan.
Although he has always been outstanding, this season with Zhang Tiehan's transfer to Liverpool, England's focus striker has shifted from Henry to Zhang Tiehan, Zhang Tiehan has received more attention, and scored a lot of goals before Christmas.
He was not reconciled.
Zhang Tiehan was injured and played again three months later, the focus of the media is still Zhang Tiehan, the outside world says that Zhang Tiehan is the best striker in the Premier League, Henry doesn't think so, with Zhang Tiehan here, he has been under pressure.
Now Henry has scored two goals and Zhang Tiehan has only scored one.
So is he better than me?
Henry said in his heart.
Zhang Tiehan seemed to notice Henry's gaze, he turned his head to look at Henry, and laughed easily.
Zhang Tiehan already understood what he meant.
Henry also understood.
This may be the communication between the top scorers, they don't need to say anything, they know, if they want to prove who is stronger, just talk with goals! (To be continued......)
