Chapter 406: The Worse Gunslinger

And mainly look at Giroud's central defenders, Skrtel's height is only one centimeter lower than Giroud, Giroud has no advantage. And although Skrtel is a white European, his body is very good, so Giroud does not have the slightest chance.

The bald Skrtel's targeted defence, and the well-built Kolo Toure were just the right amount of help to help the poor Giroud

After a couple of good passes from Mesut Ozil, Giroud was kept down and the ball fell to the feet.

Looking at this scene, Rogers couldn't help but smile, this tactic began to be practiced after seeing Li Zihan injured. After Arsenal lacks Li Zihan, the starter must be Giroud, and looking at such a high school striker, Liverpool's three, four, and three formations are very advantageous!

After Arsenal have been unable to attack for a long time, they need to find a new way.

Cazorla and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain opted to cut inside strongly, while Liverpool's central defence was solid, but relatively weak on the wings. Glen Johnson and Flanagan are actually good wing-backs, but they are positioned higher up in Rodgers' three-centre-back system and have taken on a lot of attacking responsibility. So once they broke through on the wing, Arsenal basically became two "Huarong roads" on the side. The three centre-backs in the middle did not dare to divide their forces unscrupulously, because there were also Olivier Giroud, Mesut Ozil, Aaron Ramsey and Flamini in the middle.

Oxlade-Chamberlain was going to cut inside after breaking through Flanagan on the wing. But after seeing Ozil's gesture, he chose to hand the ball to Ozil, who came up.

Mesut Ozil picked up the ball and walked down the flank on the edge of the box, while Oxlade-Chamberlain ran to the middle.

Seeing that central defender Mamadou Sako did not intend to pull to the side to make up for the defense, and still formed a defensive system of three central defenders in the middle, Ozil immediately cut inside with a decisive flick and entered the penalty area.

At this time, Sako didn't dare to continue to let Ozil swing out of the gap in the penalty area so easily, and immediately came over to block the angle and stood firmly in front of Ozil.

Mesut Ozil made a feint to find space inside, and then suddenly a high ball went over Sako's head. Olivier Giroud immediately jumped forward and Skrtel followed suit. But instead of going to Giroud, who was grabbing a spot in front, the ball found Flamini at the back post.

After the French midfielder returned to the Emirates Stadium this season, he was still quite good, both defensively and offensively.

Flamini jumped decisively, then headed a little and hit the goal with a direct header!

Mignolet's reaction was also swift, jumping up and down like a reflex, and then pounced sideways to lift the ball out with one palm.

"Oh," exclaimed both Liverpool and Arsenal fans.

Mignolet lifted the ball out, but that didn't mean the crisis was over.

The ball came to the feet of Oxlade-Chamberlain in the box, but the youngster did not take the credit to shoot himself. Firstly, his positional angle is not good, and secondly, his shot is not flattering.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain opted to turn his back on Kolo Toure and play the ball away, and Ramsey at the edge of the box fired straight into the ball from distance.

"Oh" exclamations rang out again.

It's just a pity that the ball went over the crossbar.

Ramsey grabbed his hair with both hands in frustration, and interestingly, the Arsenal fans did the same.

'Arsenal are looking for new opportunities to equalise after conceding a goal and they are attacking faster during this time.

"After not getting a chance in the middle, Arsenal opted for a break down the wing. As soon as Liverpool split up in the middle, Arsenal immediately moved the ball to the middle. And if there is no division in the middle, Arsenal can also use the advantage of their own side to complete the attack. ”

This is destined to be a back-and-forth battle, with Arsenal's overall attack and Liverpool's front-line attacking together, which makes neutral fans addicted to watching.

It is estimated that the most enjoyable are the direct rivals of the two teams, Manchester City and Chelsea, although Mourinho has repeatedly stressed that the Blues are not aiming for the title this season, but this kind of statement is really not believed. Look at where they are, now 53 minutes into third place in the league, just one point behind second-placed Liverpool

After Arsenal's attack failed, Liverpool found an opportunity instead.

Cazorla's shot was blocked by Glen Johnson's thigh and the ball landed at the feet of Henderson. Rather than blindly kick the ball out, Henderson handed the ball to his midfield partner, Steven Gerrard, the soul of the Red Army.

Gerrard got the ball and half-turned to Coutinho as soon as he got the ball, and the Brazilian conceded the ball sideways, and then quickly followed, not to do a physical confrontation with Sagna, he knew that in order to avoid a quick counterattack from his side, Sagna would choose to foul as soon as he was close, so as to buy time for Arsenal to return to the defense. And in terms of physical confrontation, he is indeed inferior to the "black and hard" Sania.

After regaining the ball, Coutinho gestured forward to Suarez and Sturridge in front of him, and then followed up with the ball himself.

"Three-on-two!! Chance for Liverpool!! ”

Koscielny, who was closest to Coutinho, knew he couldn't sit still and wanted to block the opposition with fouls to buy time for his team-mates who were coming back.

A big tackle on the ground went straight to Coutinho. The Brazilian midfielder was also very clever and he sent the ball away one step ahead.

Koscielny was unable to keep the ball in the end, and the ball was received by Sturridge. Although the French central defender also fouled, the ball was still at Liverpool's feet at this time.

"According to the principle of attacking advantage, the referee did not blow for Koscielny's foul, but raised his hands to indicate that the attack was favorable, and the game continued."

"Sturridge!! Two against one in the frontcourt, no matter how tall Merdesart is, it is impossible to defend two different areas at the same time!! ”

Sturridge picked up the ball and started quickly and headed for Arsenal. And Szczesny was also smart at this time, making a gesture to Medsatt, and then he abandoned the goal, and the target was Sturridge with the ball.

Szczesny's intention was obvious, that is, Suarez handed over to Medsatt and went to Sturridge himself. In this way, the problem of lack of manpower in the backfield is solved, of course, if the opponent passes, it will form an empty door.

Watching Szczesny pounce on the ball at his feet, Sturridge felt he had nowhere to get past the opposition, and finally chose to pass the ball to Suarez.

Szczesny made a final save and immediately turned back to get back to the line before Suarez got his hands on the ball.

Sturridge's pass was clever and the ball went diagonally in front of the duo and Suarez started behind Medessaart and was not offside. Then he wanted to use his speed and flexibility to rush away from Merdesart to get the ball, and when Merdesart was unsuccessful in the card position and was about to be rushed by Suarez, he reflexively chose to pull the jersey.

Suarez was very clever and followed the pull of Medsat, leaned directly behind him, and fell directly to the ground.

Beep!!!!

The referee's whistle sounded at the first moment, and it pointed to twelve yards!

"Penalty !!!"

"Suarez is really flexible, forcing Merdesat to foul in the end. But the foul wasn't a good deal either, as Suarez won a penalty for Liverpool! ”

Medessat was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, angrily rushed to Suarez, who fell to the ground with his hands spread, pointed his finger at the other party's nose and scolded: "You liar!! ”

Suarez made a very innocent appearance, his head shrunk, and he looked like "don't beat me, I'm afraid of pain".

The referee immediately blew the whistle again and rushed up to separate Medessat and Suarez with both hands.

Merdesart was very angry, and although he was kicked away by his teammates, he still had a posture of wanting to beat people!

Arsenal's supporters, of course, turned to their players and shouted at the referee: "Fake falls!!" ”

The Liverpool fans at home were even louder, with nearly 60,000 home fans shouting pressure on the referee: "Red card!! ”

The players on both sides were fighting the field, and the fans in the stands were not to be outdone.

Sagna and Flamini rushed around the referee to explain that a penalty was inevitable, but they didn't want Merdesart to be sent off for it.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger went straight to the fourth official to complain, he thought there was no penalty in his opinion, and the referee made a mistake in the decision. Let's take a look at the slow-motion replay of the ball Sturridge pass, when Suarez followed up and was about to rush past Merdsart, Merdessat stretched out his hand, note that it was here that the German pulled Suarez's jersey, and so on Merdesart's arm did not pull back forcefully, the arm was not bent, and the state of the jersey behind Suarez did not show that he was pulled by Merdesart. ”

The footage in the frame is not only played back at a slow speed, but also gives several key close-ups. From above, it looked like Medsat didn't pull Suarez, who miraculously fell backwards into the box

That's what seems to be the truth

"No wonder Merdessat is so angry, the credit for this penalty is all due to Suarez's 'performance'. Suarez didn't have to do this at all, he could just rush away from Medesart and take the ball to face the empty goal, because Medesart would definitely not dare to pull him too hard, otherwise he couldn't afford the responsibility of the red card and penalty."

The televised footage showed the referee, who was talking to Sagna and Flamini. Judging from their expressions, the two are pleading with Medersart, because the German central defender had a provocative move towards Suarez after the referee blew the whistle, and if the 'relationship' between the referee and Merdesart is not very good, it is basically a red card.

Although the action of the Premier League is large, the referee's blowing penalty is relatively loose, when it is the action of actively provoking the opposing players or fans, the FA has never been soft!
