Arsenal are very unhappy with the situation on the pitch. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In this game, they will aim to win and not give Liverpool an away goal.

Now that Liverpool have scored away from home, Arsenal's equaliser would have been a failure.

Arsene Wenger could no longer maintain his professorial demeanor, shouting anxiously at the pitch and complaining to Rafael Benitez that the Liverpool players were too big and fouled too much.

After Benitez scored a goal from Chen Yu, his heart completely calmed down, and he neither ignored nor refuted Wenger's accusations, and stared at the stadium as if he hadn't heard it.

Arsene Wenger is not the kind of person who is a bit of a ruffian like Mourinho, and Benitez ignores him, and he is too embarrassed to dwell on him, so he can only take his anger out on the players, stand on the sidelines, and shout at the players who perform badly.

Like Liverpool and Arsenal level of the team against each other, it's really not that the coach can immediately overwhelm the opponent with a few scolding, not to mention that the power of Wenger's hair dryer is so much worse than Ferguson's, he shouted those voices to let the players sprint a few more times, forming two attacks, and then the game returned to the situation of fighting in the midfield, which is also a normal reflection of the strength of both sides, and Liverpool was pressed near their own penalty area was only a special situation.

Arsene Wenger yelled on the sidelines, finding that it had little impact on the game, was disappointed, shook his head, turned back to the dugout, and silently followed the game with his hand on the windshield.

The foundation of all professional competitions is physical fitness, and without physical fitness, no matter how exquisite the technique, how tacit cooperation, and how perfect the tactics are, they will all come to naught.

Liverpool had a vicious battle with Arsenal three days ago, the 11 Liverpool players who played in that game, 10 of them were on the field today, and Arsenal played more intensely today than three days ago, after fifteen minutes of the second half, Liverpool's players' enthusiasm for running decreased significantly, running less, answering points less, responding to fewer points, returning passes and opening big feet more, returning passes and opening big feet more, and the offense is basically half wasted.

Although Arsenal's players are the youngest in the Premier League on average, they have no learning and are the first, and there is no one who can gain a foothold at Arsenal, and they have a strong ability to read the game, and they soon discovered that Liverpool's fitness was wrong.

Arsenal gave up the league for this Champions League, this game they were very well prepared physically, tactically and mentally, they thought they could beat Liverpool in the game, but they didn't expect to just have a little upper hand on the field, and the score fell behind.

Originally, Arsenal had already played a little lacking in confidence, and suddenly found that Liverpool seemed to be lacking in fitness, and they immediately became excited, at this time there is no need for the coach and the captain to order, everyone knows what to do at this time, that is, not to give the opponent a chance to breathe, to speed up the pace of the game, to drag down the opponent as quickly as possible, and not to let them drag until the end of the game.

The players have seen it, Wenger of course sees it more clearly than the players, he is ecstatic, knowing that the set he set in the league has finally worked, Liverpool's physical fitness is finally not enough as expected, at this time, even Wenger, who is very general in command on the spot, also knows that it is time to take a dose of fierce medicine, if Liverpool is released at this time, Arsenal will definitely miss the top four.

Arsene Wenger turned around, called Van Persie and Walcoat up, and said, "You guys go warm up and get ready to play!" ”

Arsene Wenger was saying it lightly, but it was like a thunderbolt in the ears of Van Persie and Walcott, who had been looking forward to performing on such a stage for a long time, and now the opportunity has finally arrived.

As soon as Van Persie and Walcott took off their jackets, jumped off the bench and ran to the side of the pitch to warm up.

Almost five minutes later, Arsenal made a substitution, one for two, two forwards, one for the Netherlands' Van Persie. One is Walcott, known as the little tiger.

Nineteen-year-old Walcourt was born in the village of Compton in rural Baker Hill, and at elementary school, Tiger showed amazing athletic talent, breaking the county Games record by running 11.5 seconds in the 100 meters at the Baker Hill Regional Games.

Theo Walquette first played for the under-11 at Swindon before joining his first club, Southampton, where he was deployed at the age of 16 years and 143 days in a game against Wolves in August 2005 and made his first start against Leeds in October, scoring his first goal for Southampton, when he was named a top three new sporting player of the year by the BBC.

In January 2006, Arsenal Football Club spent £5 million to buy Theo Walcoat from Southampton, a fee that could rise to £12 million depending on the number of appearances. By February 2006, Walquette had been included in Arsenal's Champions League squad and was on the bench against Real Madrid.

On 25 February 07, in the English League Cup final, Arsene Wenger fielded a predominantly young squad against Chelsea's all-out squad. Theo Walcoat gave the Gunners the lead in the 12th minute to score his first goal of his Arsenal career.

Such a young man must be a genius, and age must not be important to a talent, otherwise Wenger would not have sent Theo Walcott as a surprise player in the Champions League quarter-final against Liverpool.

Theo Walcott was fast, and Arsene Wenger sent him on to get him up to the tempo and bring down the Liverpool players. 、

In addition to Theo Walcott, Arsene Wenger also fielded Dutch striker Robin van Persie.

Van Persie is five years older than Walcott, but he is no more mature than Walcoat in mind, and is a typical genius bad boy.

But on the pitch, Van Persie is an absolute genius, he has excellent running, superb shooting and passing skills, and can often score some incredible goals, and today Arsenal met a super rival, so Wenger sent Van Persie, who had just recovered from injury, to come up.

The coming of Theo Walcott and Robin van Persie had a big impact on the game, especially at this crucial time.

The Arsenal players understood the coach's purpose from the moment Theo Walcott and Robin van Persie came on the pitch, which was to attack with all their might.

Sure enough, Walcott and Van Persie ran wildly after they came on the field, forcing Liverpool's players, and even the goalkeeper to scramble, the two of them were like a catfish, which mobilized the emotions of other Arsenal players, and everyone followed Walcott and Van Persie to surround Liverpool's players, forcibly raising the pace of the game from the board to the allegro.

Liverpool's physical strength was already a little insufficient, and when they encountered such a crazy press, they were powerless to resist at all, so they could only retreat step by step, and once again cede the control of the midfield that they had grabbed back to the Gunners.

Losing control of the midfield, Liverpool are in an extreme passivity, unable to actively choose the way they attack except on the counter-attack, while Arsenal can attack Liverpool in any way they like.

The only hope for Liverpool now is time, the game is now 70 minutes, and if they resist for another 20 minutes, the victory will be for Liverpool.

It turns out that Liverpool thinks about the difficulties too easily, under the attack of Arsenal, Liverpool spends his days like years, the degree is like the moon, and he feels that he has defended Arsenal several times in a row, is it time for the game to end, look up at the time of the electronic scoreboard, and find that it has only been two minutes, and that mood is really ********.

The Liverpool fans in the stands saw that the players were in a very difficult and dangerous situation, they wanted to help the players, and they all stood up and sang the team song "You Will Never Go Alone", but this is Arsenal's home stadium, and the Arsenal fans who have been prepared for a long time will not let the Liverpool fans turn against the guest, they also stand up and fight against the Liverpool fans with the same loud singing.

Both teams had loud voices and sang in unison, like a chorus, but the numbers played a decisive role here.

There are more than 40,000 Arsenal fans, and Liverpool fans are barely enough 10,000, which is not an order of magnitude, the two sides make noise at the same time, and in the end, all the players can hear is the voice of the Arsenal fans.

Under Arsenal's persevering attack, Liverpool's goal finally fell in the 84th minute.

It was a free-kick, Cesc Fabregas drove into the box, goalkeeper Reina was frightened by several leaks from his previous teammates, did not dare to stay in the goal, looked at the incoming ball, felt that he could get it, and rushed out.

Halfway through, Reyna immediately realized that it was difficult for him to get it, but he had already gone out, and it was taboo to return halfway, so Reina gritted his teeth and rushed out to hit the ball with both fists.

Reyna was finally half a step slower, and the ball flew from his hand to the back post.

Reina's mind was so frightened that he went blank, and he almost subconsciously fell down and ran to the far corner to prevent Arsenal's players from the back of the net from smashing the goal.

At the back post, Eboue still grabbed the landing spot first, and his header smashed into the near corner of the goal.

At such a close distance, even a player with a terrible header like Eboue was in the back of the net.

However, Eboue didn't have the chance to score today, and when he just took the free-kick, Liverpool's wall-up full-back Finnan did not leave, standing in the far corner and blocking Eboue's attack with his body.

The ball flew out of the penalty area, but the Liverpool players did not dare to breathe a sigh of relief, the midfield was controlled by the opponent, the second wave of attack could be launched at any time, and their nerves must be tense at all times.

One player came down to the ball and it was Robin van Persie, and the Liverpool players didn't have time to think about why Arsenal's striker was at the edge of the box at this time because Van Persie volleyed home of his own.

There were a lot of people in the box, and most volleys had to be drawn to people, but Van Persie was a genius, he didn't volley with the front instep, but used the outside of his foot diagonally upwards to get the ball out.

The ball drew a beautiful parabola around the crowd in the box and flew exactly into the back corner of the goal.

The Liverpool players in the box tried their best to jump up and no one touched the ball, goalkeeper Reyna ran from the front corner to the back corner with all his might, and by the time he arrived, the ball was already spinning in the net.

1:1

Robin van Persie equalised for Arsenal with an imaginative strike.
