Rafael Benitez spoke about the tactics of the second half.

As soon as it came to tactics, the Spaniard immediately became much more serious, writing and drawing on the tactical board and explaining it carefully to the players.

'In the second half, we were still mainly defensive, strengthening the team's defense and not giving them any chances.

'When you have a chance to counter-attack, you have to be careful not to have too many assists, Arsenal are very fast in attack and if we press too high, it will be very dangerous at the back.

"Jimmy, you command the team's defense, you have to remind everyone to stand at all times, as long as our defense is solid, Arsenal won't have any good way, they will definitely press the attack, that's our chance"

In Benitez's mind, against Arsenal you have to defend.

He and Mourinho are both quite conservative coaches, Mourinho is interested in defence, Benitez is equally important in defence, in the world of football, winning or losing is the key, in fact, Benitez thinks about more than what to focus on.

If the team's overall attacking ability is not weaker than Arsenal's, and he doesn't mind letting the whole team play against Arsenal, that kind of game will definitely be good.

Even he likes to watch exciting attacks.

But now Liverpool Benitez can only shake his head when he thinks about it, if it is a defensive counterattack, the team can still play better, only attacking, many times it is not as good as a few players in the front.

The quality of the midfielders and the backfielders is not much help when attacking, so it is better to defend with all their might.

This is also the safest and most suitable tactic

Liverpool's defence did a good job.

Although two goals were scored in the first half, Liverpool have been considered by the media to be one of the two teams with the best defence this season, one being Chelsea. The other is Liverpool.

This is somewhat magical in the eyes of the media.

Liverpool's backfield has zài problems, as long as a veteran fan can know, their backfield players can only get their hands on Carragher and Hyypia, and almost everyone else has all kinds of problems, and as a result, Liverpool has become one of the two best defensive teams in England.

Many people in football think. This has to do with Benitez's conservative tactics.

But in any case, it also shows that Liverpool's defense is doing well, when Benitez at halftime, let the team stick to the defense, and repeatedly admonished, Arsenal attacked with momentum in the second half, but in fact, there were no good opportunities at all.

But now Arsenal has no choice.

They're at home, they're the underdogs, what else can they do but press the attack? Arsenal are known for their all-attacking, fast-paced football, and so is their style. But this style is not much for them to do when facing the other party, especially when the opponent's strength is not weaker than their own.

This is one of the reasons why Arsenal always do not have good results against strong teams.

The problem has always been there, and everyone knows that Arsenal will naturally find a way to make up for the shortcomings, and Arsene Wenger's solution is to make the team play in form, so that no flaws will be a problem. So Arsenal have been making substitutions for the past two years, and Wenger wants to find the best replacement for Patrick Vieira.

When there was Vieira. Arsenal could almost be described as sweeping England.

Vieira left, Arsenal's results immediately declined, this is the role of a midfield core, a core can drive the whole team to find form, offensive and defensive play more fluid.

Arsene Wenger promoted Cesc Fabregas.

But Fabregas is really still very immature now, and he wants to have a stable dìng and excellent appearance. Maybe another season.

Arsenal's attack was blocked, and Liverpool naturally came alive.

From the start of the second half to the 70th minute of the game, in the more than 20 minutes, Arsenal failed to create too many good chances, let alone create a shot that threatened the Liverpool goal. On the contrary, Liverpool took advantage of several counter-attacking opportunities and constantly threatened Arsenal's goal.

Arsenal had the advantage on the field, but Liverpool actually had a considerable advantage.

At this time, as long as the fans who watched the second half of the game for a while, they will be very clear about the situation on the field, although Arsenal has a high possession rate and their attack is also very beautiful, but for a long time, they cannot threaten the Liverpool goal, but when Liverpool gets the ball, it is a threat again and again.

Arsenal fans are apprehensive to watch.

When commenting on the game, many commentators also said about the current situation, "Liverpool is still defending and counterattacking, but their defense is more solid, Arsenal has no good way to face the impregnable defense, and every time Liverpool counterattacks, it will bring a lot of threats to Arsenal......"

"If the game goes on like this, Arsenal's hope of equalising will not be played!"

Arsenal are only one goal behind!

There's really only one ball!

But many people feel that Arsenal has little hope, which shows how far the game between Arsenal and Liverpool has reached, although Arsenal has been looking to attack, but there are not many goals that can really enter the penalty area, let alone direct shots.

No!

Another ten minutes have passed, and still nothing!

In the first half, Thierry Henry, who was excellent, was completely lost in Liverpool's defense, and the active Cesc Fabregas was no longer agile and active in the face of the defenders who came to fight one by one and guarded in front of the penalty line.

He became a normal young player, and even had two mistakes in a row just now.

"Cesc Fabregas's state is really worrying......" even the London commentator said, and as soon as his words fell, he saw Fabregas being cut off by Gerrard, and he exclaimed, "Ah...... Note! Cesc Fabregas is broken! ”

"It's the third time!"

"He seems to be trying to get past Gerrard, but Gerrard is not so easy to break through."

It was a fatal mistake!

After Gerrard got the ball, he directly transferred the ball to the left side with a long pass, where Garcia had been waiting for a long time, except for Zhang Tiehan throughout the game, he was looking for opportunities to attack frequently, and now the opportunity is coming again, Garcia frantically brought the ball forward.

He broke through to the Arsenal half. Soon cut inside into the heart of the penalty area.

At this point, in the face of Toure's defence, Garcia passed.

Zhang Tiehan just followed from behind, and in the face of this extremely safe pass, he did not hesitate to wave his right foot, so that the football hung in the dead corner of the goal.

“Goooooooooooooooal！！！！！”

“2:4！ Liverpool, playing away, are two goals ahead of Arsenal!

"It's the seventy-ninth minute of the game. Zhang just scored another goal for Liverpool, exaggerating Liverpool's score advantage! It was also his third goal of the game! ”

"This is his first league game after returning from injury, and he met an opponent like Arsenal in the first game, and Zhang still has a lot of pressure, but we didn't see any pressure on him at all, but he scored a lot of goals, the third goal, a hat trick! His comeback was perfect! ”

"He's probably using a hat in Highbury. Sue everybody - he's back! ”

"Yes, we are sure that after this game, all Premier League fans will know the news, Zhang is back, he still can't stop!"

The various commentators are praising Zhang Tiehan's expression.

"Zhang Tiehan is unstoppable!" This is simply holding Zhang Tiehan to the sky, it probably doesn't matter if it's true or not, and Arsenal's goalkeeper Lehmann feels very lost, if he knows that the current commentator is talking about Zhang Tiehan. He will definitely be very supportive.

Four goals were conceded in one game, and Zhang Tiehan scored three. Assist a ...... Isn't that unstoppable?

Anyway, he has no ability to stop Zhang Tiehan.

Lehmann was very helpless, he didn't know whether to blame his teammates for their poor defense, or blame himself for not being able to save Zhang Tiehan's shot, he was obviously more inclined to the former, after all, he hadn't heard of any goalkeeper who was calm in the face of Zhang Tiehan's shot, and even if there were, it was some guys who were not famous. That's all for hype.

But his teammates don't give him any help, and he can't do anything about it......

Lyman could only accept this qiē in his heart.

The rest of the Arsenal, including manager Arsene Wenger, knew there was no suspense in the game after seeing Zhang Tiehan score again. Despite being two goals down with 10 minutes remaining, an equaliser is not out of the question, but they are out of confidence.

In the second half, they didn't find a good chance, but Liverpool seized the opportunity to score a goal, so what can they do in just ten minutes?

Manager Arsene Wenger sees more than the average player.

It's not that he doesn't have confidence when he sees that there is not much time left, what makes him even less confident is the fighting spirit of the team, looking at the expressions of those young people on the field, he knows that most people have lost confidence.

There will be no suspense at all.

His only thought now is that he hopes the result will not affect Arsenal's future competitions.

……

After a brief celebration of the goal, the game resumed.

Although there were still ten minutes left in the game, many people had already judged the result, and even the Arsenal players had lost confidence, and everyone knew that the game had entered garbage time, and many Arsenal fans in the audience were ready to leave the stadium early.

In the 85th minute of the game, Benitez took advantage of an out-of-bounds opportunity to replace Zhang Tiehan with Morientes.

The main thing is not Morientes, but Zhang Tiehan.

Benitez is giving Zhang Tiehan a chance to receive applause from the fans.

Sure enough, when Zhang Tiehan left the field, there was a lot of applause at Highbury Stadium, and many Arsenal fans stood up to applaud Zhang Tiehan and applaud his watch.

Football knows no borders.

As long as you are good enough, the fans of the rivals in the same city will applaud you, not to mention that the Arsenal fans and Zhang Tiehan have no grievances, although Arsenal has no chance in this game, and the Arsenal fans who lost the game are not in a good mood, but they still respect Zhang Tiehan, who is excellent.

That's football.

Zhang Tiehan smiled and waved to the fans in the stands, and walked off the court step by step.

Then came garbage time, with just two minutes of stoppage time before the referee blew the final whistle and announced another league win for Liverpool at Highbury. (To be continued......)
