445 Fragile Arsenal
Anfield was thrilled, Reds fans were stunned, Arsenal fans were jubilant, and the stands were a scene of ice and fire.
After Qin Xiong scored the goal, his eyes persistently ran towards the corner flag area, and he silently said in his heart: Is it enough? Is it enough? Inadequate! Inadequate!
To be world-class, to be a legend, to be a true king!
It is not an empty word, nor is it a wish made when I am occasionally full of pride.
In order to reach the top and sit on the throne, he has the consciousness of dedication and hard work, and he will only be more than others, not the slightest less than others!
He made his trademark celebration from just outside the corner, an interaction between him and the fans, which was enthusiastically responded to by the Gunners fans.
"Qin Xiong scored in his fourth consecutive Premier League game! Someone, someone, someone stop him! Now he's number one on the scorer list! Hell yes! Isn't he the assist king? Doesn't he like to brush assists the most? Why did the new season change? Could it be another classic makeover by Arsene Wenger? Arsene Wenger has created a world-class killer after changing Henry from a winger to a central striker, Qin Xiong has played as a central midfielder or midfielder at Ajax, and after coming to Arsenal, he has now almost become a number 9 and a half! Is there another devil in the eyes of Premier League defenders? Alonso is so pitiful, he has been defeated by Qin Xiong many times today, he has an unshirkable responsibility for this goal, he returned to the penalty area is commendable, but when it comes to key defense, his prediction is wrong! He thought that Qin Xiong's kickback of the ball was an adjustment, but he didn't know that it was a foreshadowing that Qin Xiong wanted to break through him, seduce him to move forward, and then brilliantly pass through the crotch and send the ball into the goal with a burst! Qin Xiong has four goals in four Premier League games. And two more assists! What are Arsenal waiting for? Renew your contract with him! Otherwise you'll regret it! ā
Benitez walked back to the dugout with a gloomy face and sat down. He had to admit it. Arsenal's attacking players are too good.
Reese stepped forward to assist for the first time, just made a name for himself, turned his head, and the position of Reese's defensive area in Arsenal's counterattack was used by Qin Xiong!
This kind of ritual acumen and ability to use space is unprecedented!
Arsenal took a one-goal lead, and after the restart, Arsenal still focused on defending and counter-attacking, while Liverpool launched a more aggressive attack. Alonso said that he didn't dare to step forward again to widen the distance between him and Sissoko, even if he could only take a long pass or let Gerrard retreat to respond, he had to ensure that he would not become a lone point and be broken through by Qin Xiong.
Just before half-time, Steven Gerrard collided with Ljungberg in a midfield scramble, resulting in Ljungberg's injury.
Arsene Wenger's face on the sidelines is green!
"Oh my God! Another injured Arsenal player in the new season has appeared! Can the Arsenal medical room still be accommodated? Following the injuries of Ashley Cole and Campbell, Arsenal has another main player on the injury list! Arsenal may be experiencing their biggest injury wave in almost a decade! ā
Arsene Wenger's mood is terrible, Arsenal, which is already thin, has been injured one after another main players, and this is just the beginning of the season!
Hleb was ordered to replace Ljungberg.
Not long after he came on the field. Hleb's insistence on breaking through in a counterattack attracted Qin Xiong's dissatisfaction!
Thierry Henry is the star of the squad and has little involvement in the dressing room. is usually taciturn, although Qin Xiong is very similar to him, but when it is time to express his opinion on the court, Qin Xiong will never be silent.
At the end of the first half, Qin Xiong walked up to Hleb and said solemnly to him: "You can pass the ball to me just now, instead of choosing to break through by yourself." ā
Hleb asked rhetorically, "Why can't I break through on my own?" I'm confident! ā
Qin Xiong looked at him and said lightly: "Because I am more confident than you, and moreover, more powerful than you!" ā
He just told the truth, not to show off, not to suppress.
Football is not a democratic society, but a feudal society!
The difference is only in the strength of the people, whether there is real privilege or not!
Qin Xiong believed that if Henry said the first words to Hleb, Hleb would definitely not ask a rhetorical question, but nodded in obedience!
That's the privilege!
This is the embarrassment of Qin Xiong now at Arsenal.
He does not have absolute majesty and privilege!
Although his contribution is no less than that of Thierry Henry, his importance to the team is only a matter of discussion and feeling, not real.
It is conceivable that Hleb's transfer is worth more than Qin Xiong, and the salary he gets is about the same as Qin Xiong.
Hleb, who was two years older than Qin Xiong, was speechless, and seemed to find no reason to refute Qin Xiong.
Don't look at him two years older than Qin Xiong, but Qin Xiong's words are indeed the truth.
Qin Xiong is stronger and more confident than him!
Qin Xiong then said to him: "I hope you can understand the true meaning of my words, I am not to accuse you, what I can tell you is that you should first adapt to the rhythm and style of the Premier League, you are good at getting rid of and controlling the ball in a small area, and there is no room to play most of the time in this game, because Liverpool will not rush to grab, and we have to let the football move back and forth quickly in a wider space, you can't force a breakthrough, and you have to dribble to control the ball, which is not decisive enough, it will delay our counterattack, we need to be faster, A more determined way to attack! This is what I gave you to build yƬ, a qiÄ is all for the team to be able to win and win. ā
Hleb nodded, Qin Xiong's tone was more sincere, even if he said "I am more powerful than you" before, it did not seem domineering.
Arsene Wenger frowned in the dressing room and sternly cautioned his players not to relax in the second half.
But in the second half, Arsenal's defense began to have strict problems.
Hleb is not Ljungberg, he is a skilled midfielder, while Ljungberg is a desperate three-hander, Ljungberg will have better protection on the right side when he is on the pitch, Hleb can't.
This made Liverpool, who were bent on getting the game back, unexpectedly find in the second half that attacking from the left can work wonders!
In the 56th minute of the game, Cen Deng did not have pressure behind him on the left side, he made a feint in front of Lauren to get rid of the breakthrough of the change of direction, the ball went to the bottom line and then suddenly accelerated to cut inside, Lauren did not keep up with the first time, and the second time was made up and was thrown off by Cen Deng's acceleration.
Arsene Wenger was so angry when he saw it on the sidelines!
He suddenly felt that Arsenal had a lot more problems this season than he had imagined!
The combination of injuries and the decline in individual player form has made Arsenal extremely vulnerable!
After the breakthrough of Cendon attracted Cesc Fabregas and Toure to sandwich, the middle of the Morientes was ready to outflank the momentum in front of the goal, but Cendon unexpectedly knocked the ball back to the top of the penalty area, Gerrard rushed up to meet the ball and shot hard, and the football crossed a straight line to the bottom left corner of the goal!
Wenger waved angrily on the sidelines, he turned to the dugout and said to the assistant coach: "Let Eboue warm up!" (To be continued......)
