1335 Woke up too late
The Arsenal players were determined to break the game, but after Wilshere was sent off, they found it completely one-sided.
After Liverpool scored two goals, their willpower began to wane.
Theo Walcott was always ready to counter-attack, but Liverpool's strong counter-attack in front prevented Cesc Fabregas from delivering a good ball to him.
Most of the other teammates made mistakes in passing, even if they had the opportunity to send the ball to his feet, at that time, he only had to dribble to break through one way, even if he succeeded, Van Persie was also surrounded by heavy surrounding, he wanted to play a dragon himself, but unfortunately Tiott, who was defending at the back of Liverpool, was like a little monster, rushing over to him even if he fouled him, he would not let him pass.
The first half ended when Steven Gerrard fired a long-range shot off target.
The two teams began to walk into the players' tunnel.
Back in the dressing room, the players on Liverpool's side were more relaxed, and everyone chatted about the conflict between Wilshere and Qin Xiong.
"You really didn't want to beat him up at the time?"
Suarez asked curiously.
Before Qin Xiong could answer, Gerrard said: "He must want to teach that kid who doesn't know the height of the sky a lesson, but I know how rough he was when he was angry in the Premier League in the past!" ”
Alonso laughed from the sidelines.
He landed in the Premier League with Qin Xiong six years ago, with Qin Xiong being brought to Highbury by Arsene Wenger and Marcos Alonso being brought to Anfield by Rafael Benitez.
Qin Xiong spread his hands helplessly and said, "Can you not mention the old past?" ”
Johnson laughed, "That's not going to work, who else but you can press Roy Keane's head to the turf?" Except for you. Nope. ”
Baines immediately nodded in agreement with Johnson's words.
Qin Xiong was completely speechless.
Perhaps to those who were very familiar with the Premier League of that era. Like Roy Keane. Vieira, all of whom belong to the big boss level of characters.
There was never a confrontation between two bosses, and no other player dared to shout at them.
Otherwise, what will be the end?
Keane admitted in his autobiography that he fouled his opponent on the field with a broken leg.
And the conflict between Qin Xiong and Keane at that time may be accompanied until the end of Qin Xiong's career, and people will only mention it less and less when talking about Qin Xiong.
After all, this incident can be regarded as showing Qin Xiong's "brave and fearless" side on the field.
Qin Xiong waved his hand and said, "What you said is as if I have been stained with Keane's light, and I will be old in the past." Don't mention it, I'll be honest, I don't want to deal with a hairy kid who is not yet 20 years old, but since he is an opponent, there is nothing to talk about, even if he has a hot brain, he has to bear the consequences. ”
"Hehe, maybe your humiliation will make him sober up."
As soon as Gerald's voice fell, Qin Xiong raised his eyebrows and said no more.
That's none of his business.
Koeman watched quietly as the players chatted, and he was not in a hurry. The way this game developed today can only be said to be unexpected. However, the overall goal has not changed.
Keep Liverpool on the ground.
Don't feel war-weary or underestimated.
Fortunately, in terms of schedule, Liverpool's second half of the season has always run through the strong dialogue between the Champions League and the league, so that the overall mentality of the team will not be taken lightly.
Back on the pitch, Arsenal went through the spirit of midfielder Arsene Wenger and the morale of the team improved.
Nasri was replaced with an injured Alexander Song.
Arsenal in the second half were very different from the first, they were more aggressive and aggressive.
For example, when Eboue confronted Qin Xiong on the wing, his posture was very fierce, and Song also had a large scale of action when defending.
Arsenal don't seem to be afraid to play cards.
In short, they have to overpower Liverpool in terms of posture.
Koeman stood on the sidelines with his eyes moving slightly, and he secretly said in his heart: Arsenal is finally back on Earth.
Yes, it looks like Arsenal are no longer the team seeking to get off the planet.
They finally understood that gorgeous can't be eaten, and they want to sing and dance on the court and win the game, how can there be such a good thing?
It's actually more effective now to use rough confrontations and aggressive foul moves.
Liverpool's attack has reined in and is more in control of the field in midfield.
If Arsenal dares to press on the counter-attack, then Liverpool will launch a threatening attack.
In this way, it is better to reduce the risk of confrontation than to peel back the cocoon.
Because once the opponent's midfielder presses the midfielder to counter-attack in the midfield, then the space for Liverpool's attack on the front line will expand, so that the agility and speed of the invisible movement and the degree of tacit cooperation are the most important.
The reason why Liverpool reined in the offensive is also very simple, in fact, many media columnists on Fleet Street made it clear before the game.
What are Liverpool's biggest fears right now?
Wounded!
When an important player is injured, the prospects for the Champions League are not optimistic.
The league is a big deal for Liverpool.
Even if the strong dialogue can't be won, there will always be opponents who have no desire in the next few games, as long as Liverpool is not a big killing and has to nail the opponent to the shame column, then Liverpool will politely take all 3 points in the opponent is a matter of hand.
You can't afford to fight with a team that has pursuits!
However, Arsenal had to wake up, understand, and then act when the situation was extremely unfavorable and the situation was already bruised.
If Arsenal had done this at the beginning of the first half, Liverpool might have really coaxed it!
There's nothing to fight with the gunslinger.
What are you fighting?
Liverpool's most important game in front of them is the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Manchester United eleven days later.
It's not about who to fight against in the league, and who to compete with for the championship.
Now Arsenal have come to their senses, and it's too late.
Because the score is already two goals down, they still have one less player.
Liverpool patiently controlled the situation with a pass in midfield and then waited for Arsenal to make a mistake themselves.
After 70 minutes, Arsenal finally couldn't hold back.
It is useless for Cesc Fabregas to go back and forth in midfield alone.
Liverpool gathered three lines, and there were teammates who responded in all directions, not to mention walking him alone, and Song and Diaby in the back came up and only returned in vain.
In the 76th minute of the game, when Arsenal's midfield pressed, Liverpool's side quickly played a wave of fast attack.
Alonso crossed diagonally to Merreles, who played the ball to Qin Xiong, who ran to the left side of the box.
After Qin Xiong stopped the ball, Eboue and Koscielny surrounded him, and when he saw that he had successfully contained, he passed the ball to Suarez, who was stepping on the big penalty line in the middle.
Suarez started directly at the moment of touching the ball, turned sideways and then turned to pull the ball, Julu reacted slowly, unable to keep up with Suarez's rhythm, it can be said that Suarez exploded Julu with his personal ability.
Suarez, who went solo for the meeting, pushed the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal before Szczesny could attack!
3:0!
Liverpool sealed the win. (To be continued.) )
