After Arsene Wenger took charge of Arsenal, Arsenal's attack has improved considerably.

In the 03-04 and 04-05 seasons, Arsenal has repeatedly had excellent performances, and the strong support and tactical understanding of the French gang have created a prosperous era for Arsenal in these two seasons.

But this season has been up and down for Arsenal, and when the overall form of the Arsenal team is not good, it has not been so smooth.

Any team in England knows that Arsenal must not be allowed to play with feeling.

Arsenal is like a youth army, if they find their feelings, play smoothly, it is possible to score as many goals as they want in a game, that kind of Arsenal is almost invincible, no team will have resistance in front of them, so playing against Arsenal, you have to stop them, make it difficult for them to adapt to the game.

How?

Benitez's choice is almost the same as that of Ferguson and Mourinho, that is, to play physical battles with Arsenal, and your attack is smooth? Okay, then we'll stop you with roughness, stop you with fouls, and let the flashy game completely degenerate into a fierce 'brawl'.

That's Liverpool's approach.

Especially when seeing that Arsenal's first attack was so threatening, Liverpool's players moved a lot bigger, but Arsenal's second attack was directly stopped in the midfield, and surprisingly, it was Alonso who came out, and he tripped Fabregas directly on the leg, and then waited for the referee to blow the whistle to stop the game.

Cesc Fabregas was about to pass the ball but he didn't expect Alonso to do the defence at all.

Both are from Spain.

Alonso is a Fabregas senior. The two also know each other privately and are very familiar, there are really not many Spanish players in the Premier League, Fabregas did not expect Alonso to foul directly, and after the referee announced that the ball was awarded to Arsenal, Fabregas was still a little confused.

Henry came over and patted Cesc Fabregas on the shoulder, "Francisco, get used to this." ”

Fabregas nodded hurriedly.

Cesc Fabregas has been at Arsenal for two years and has played regularly in the youth team since this season. With Vieira leaving. He has only become Arsenal's main midfielder, and a central midfielder, Cesc Fabregas is only 18 years old, and it is clear that Arsene Wenger intends to develop him into a star at Arsenal. First half of the schedule. Arsenal are not good in the league table. Many media critics pointed out that it has a lot to do with Fabregas's appearance, but it has to be said that Fabregas is growing. He's growing up fast, and he's getting used to it.

Arsenal fans believe Cesc Fabregas is a natural star.

He's very talented.

Talented, capable, Arsenal have a lot of young talent, but Cesc Fabregas is the most anticipated of them all, and some are even starting to compare him to Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney or even Zhang Tiehan.

But now Cesc Fabregas is in a bit of trouble.

Liverpool's game strategy makes Cesc Fabregas very passive, after all, he is a player from Spanish football, and he is still very uncomfortable with Arsenal's frequent encounters with high physical intensity of defense.

The whole of Arsenal was expecting Cesc Fabregas to adapt as much as he could, but the game against Liverpool proved that it will take time for Cesc Fabregas to adapt quickly.

In the first twenty minutes of the game, Arsenal were bogged down in the quagmire of Liverpool's defence.

At Highbury, their attack was stubbornly blocked, and the tactics that the English team came up with against Arsenal were still very effective, unless Arsenal were in very good form and played a consistent game, but at least for now, Arsenal have not found their senses.

However, in order to limit Arsenal, Liverpool has few chances.

They focus more on defense, which is also what Benitez particularly advised, playing against Arsenal and attacking against them, it is really difficult to have an advantage, even if Liverpool has Zhang Tiehan, Benitez does not dare to guarantee that the team will score more goals than Arsenal.

Arsenal are mired in Liverpool's defensive quagmire, and Liverpool have not been brilliant in attack.

That's the first twenty minutes of the game.

At this time, Zhang Tiehan was also involved in the defense near the midline, making a tackle when he had the opportunity, constantly interfering with Liverpool's attack according to the task assigned by Benitez, and he also had a job to complete a quick counterattack if he had the opportunity.

Few teammates could help him.

Benitez specifically instructed before the game to pay attention to defense, Liverpool's tactics are defensive counterattacks, when advancing the attack, Liverpool will not attack too far forward, so that Arsenal has a chance, after all, in recent times, Arsenal has continued to win in the league is quite good, and the most important thing is not to let them play rhythm and feeling.

Zhang Tiehan's only reliance is Garcia on the left.

Garcia's strength is still certain, especially in the face of a team like Arsenal, some of Garcia's abilities can also be reflected, such as his dribbling, such as his speed, although he does not do well in defense, but Garcia can also provide some support for offense and counterattack when defending, which is what he is good at.

He's also good passing.

Every time Liverpool attacked, Garcia's pass would make Zhang Tiehan feel very comfortable, and if he could receive a comfortable pass, he would have an opportunity to attack.

Relying on Garcia's pass, Zhang Tiehan also played two sets of threats, although there was still some distance from the goal, but in any case, it also eased the defensive pressure slightly.

On the pitch, it was still Arsenal who dominated.

Arsenal's attack was too fierce, although Liverpool's defense was good, and Arsenal's form today was not too good, but they still suppressed Liverpool, Liverpool counterattacked very few times, but for Liverpool, Arsenal's delay in creating a threat to the goal is their victory, which is a tactical victory, and if the game continues like this, the situation will definitely be in Liverpool's favor.

This time it was still Assen's attack.

Bam Adebayor bypassed Reese's defence and was about to give the ball to Thierry Henry at left forward, but Riese followed up with interference. Let Adebayo have some hard time, he looked up at the middle, and finally planned to pass the ball back, after all, it is safest to ensure that the football is at the feet of his own team, and rashly passing the ball is not accurate, which is almost equivalent to giving the ball to Liverpool.

But at this moment, Adebayo felt unsteady under his feet, and he fell to the ground as soon as he leaned.

It's Gerrard's retreating tackle!

Gerrard was quite decisive in the tackle, and he slowly retreated and ran close to Adebayo. Kick directly behind you. He got the ball first, which was not fouled, and after completing the tackle, Gerrard and Reeser combined twice. Pass the ball straight forward to Alonso.

Alonso takes the ball. Dribble the ball over the halfway line.

Liverpool launch a quick counter-attack!

Spanish players have honed their skills from an early age. A lot of Spain's frontcourt players are good at getting past them, and Alonso is not the type of player who is good at breaking through with the ball individually, but he is still solid with the ball. He has solid skills at his feet, and although he is not good at passing people, it is not easy to snatch the ball from his feet, and in fact, at Liverpool, Alonso has been intercepted as many times as Gerrard, and both are very stable players.

Alonso is also fast.

Because of the wave of attack just now, Arsenal pressed very forward, Alonso after crossing the center line, the ten meters in front of him were empty, he was like a fish into the sea, driving straight in, the speed was quite fast, and the Arsenal players behind him wanted to chase back a little too late.

Under everyone's gaze, Alonso advanced more than ten meters with the ball.

Further on is the Arsenal penalty area.

With an Arsenal defender already flanked on the flank, everyone looked at Alonso to wonder what he should do, and there was almost no doubt that Alonso pushed the ball straight to the left.

There, Zhang Tiehan plugged in!

In terms of attacking in the front court, Zhang Tiehan may not be as stable with the ball as Alonso, but his speed and physical strength also make him more protective of football, and now, it is almost impossible for a defender to steal Zhang Tiehan's ball, even if he wants to interfere with him, he must be the kind of world-class defender.

In this game, Arsenal's starting central defenders were Toure and Senderos.

Campbell was unavailable due to injury.

Toure is certainly the world's top centre-back with his experience, but Senderos is by no means the 20-year-old Swiss youngster, who is a new Arsenal discovery this season, and when Campbell was injured, Senderos started in his place, but he is still lacking in experience, and he is calm but still not able to reach the world-class level overall.

Now Zhang Tiehan is next to Sendros.

When Zhang Tiehan took the ball and stepped forward, and Senderos followed, the hearts of Arsenal fans were raised, if it was Toure, they would not be so worried, but it was Senderos, they were not dissatisfied with Senderos's appearance, but now Senderos is facing Zhang Tiehan, and even Toure, Campbell and other defenders are very helpless opponents.

Zhang Tiehan also noticed Senderos.

He didn't expect to defend himself by a young player with an unfamiliar face, but he didn't take it lightly, and before taking the ball, before stepping forward, he also made a passing feint, which deceived Senderos.

Toure would never make that mistake, but Senderos is different, and in his opinion, the best option for Zhang Tiehan to face his own defence in this position is to pass back to Alonso.

But Zhang Tiehan told him with the next action - Lao Tzu is not an ordinary striker!

In front of the big penalty area, will Zhang Tiehan still pass the ball?

If it is to advance the attack, in the face of many people's defense, Zhang Tiehan may pass the ball, but there is only a twenty-year-old young player in front of the quick counterattack, Zhang Tiehan thought about what to do the moment he got the ball - use speed to break through the defense to form a single knife!

No doubt!

That's what he did.

The previous feint, Zhang Tiehan didn't even expect it to work, he just used the big foot to rush forward, the first time he was shaken, and then saw Zhang Tiehan want to break through, Senderos could almost only watch Zhang Tiehan guard from the side, and he even forgot to foul.

Blocking with a foul was his last chance, but he didn't have time to do that.

As a result, Zhang Tiehan broke through Sendros!

The Liverpool fans were all excited for a moment, and they watched Zhang Tiehan burst into the box with the ball, facing only goalkeeper Lehmann.

"Don't let him shake lightly!" Lyman shouted as he attacked.

By the time his words fell, Zhang Tiehan had already crossed the big penalty area line, and Lehmann could only run forward to meet this single knife, but when he did so, he found that he was half a beat slower anyway - he had just attacked, and Zhang Tiehan had already shot!

Lehmann kept his eye on Zhang Tiehan's right foot, and when Zhang Tiehan shot, he subconsciously blocked to the left.

But the ball flew into the goal from the right side!

At the moment when the football flew to his side, Lehmann was quite surprised, he was surprised not by Zhang Tiehan's appearance, not by Zhang Tiehan's goal, but by his own judgment, he obviously judged the left, but the football flew to the right, in such a short period of time, how did Zhang Tiehan make a false movement, or did his historical experience go wrong.

Shouldn't that be......

Lehmann was so confused that it didn't even matter to him if he conceded.

At this time, Liverpool fans are already celebrating the goal, they are all happy, Liverpool has been passively defending, they also think that the team can score in the second half is good, but I didn't expect a sudden attack, the team has a goal, this feeling is still quite good.

Arsenal fans can only watch silently, secretly worried about the team.

Sure enough, as they thought, when Liverpool had Zhang Tiehan on the field, it would be really difficult for the team to win. (To be continued......)
