Chapter 709: Picking Up Leaks (Part II)
The Liverpool players rushed out of the box to celebrate, and the Liverpool fans in the stands cheered, and the whole stadium became a celebratory dance for Liverpool fans
There were a lot of players in the penalty area at the time, and the commentators on the scene didn't know who scored the goal, but that didn't stop them from cheering for the goal," ...... aIaII Liverpool scored: Liverpool extended their lead, and with only a few minutes to go, Liverpool have already scored two goals and are in surprisingly good form, but we don't see who scored the second goal. Looks like Chen? It could also be Pennant, it's more likely to be Pennant because he's just running into this position, but it could also be an own goal, so many people in the box...... Now everyone is surrounding Chen, probably Chen picked up this leak, but you can only be sure by watching the slow-motion replay......"
Slow motion soon appeared on the big screen, and after careful identification, it was Chen Yu who stretched out his legs in the crowd and stabbed the ball into the net, and the scene that was already about to fall silent immediately broke out again with a burst of earth-shattering cheers, "Chen Chen Chen"
The on-site commentator finally found the target of touting, he clenched his fists and yelled at the court: "It's really Chen and only Chen has such a reflex, obviously his neural reflex arc is shorter than others, and before the others moved, his legs stretched out, and now the only thing that makes us wonder is how he ran to this position, this may be the striker's intuition, great strikers have a sense of smell...... This was Chen's first goal, and after scoring this goal, Chen once again threw Drogba away from the four-goal gap, and with Chen's current efficiency, the top scorer has become his bag if there are no accidents."
In the first ten minutes, Arsenal's offensive was very fierce, Arsenal fans and coaches saw the hope of equalizing, although the outcome of this game is not so important to them, but no one wants to lose a strong conversation, for the giants, face is also very valuable.
However, Arsenal's strong attack failed and was scored by Liverpool's counterattack, which shattered Arsenal's hopes of equalizing, and the Arsenal fans on the scene were suddenly silent, and no one could speak.
Standing on the sidelines, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger watched Liverpool score for the second time, and his heart sank, and an ominous premonition came over him.
The victory or defeat of this game is acceptable to Wenger, three defeats to Liverpool in a season is already an irreproducible record, and now Liverpool, who is competing for the title, is bound to win this battle, Wenger does not intend to fight to the death with Liverpool at this time, but Wenger also has a bottom line, can lose, but can not lose too badly, if you lose above O, Wenger will also be under a lot of pressure, and may even affect Arsenal's record behind.
Liverpool have scored two goals in less than half an hour now, and there are UU minutes to come, and if Arsenal can't restrain Liverpool's attack, it will not be difficult to lose three or four goals.
After Arsene Wenger realized the danger, he immediately took the opportunity of Liverpool's celebration to call the players to the sidelines, and made a simple arrangement for them, so that they must not be stunned by Liverpool, even if they can't pull a goal back, they can't be extended by Liverpool.
"Liverpool must not be taken lightly today it seems that they are not only to win, they seem to be ready to take revenge, we won them last time and this time it is estimated that they will not be satisfied with the score of o, we must stabilize the defense, wait for the opportunity to counterattack, and strive for an equalizer, Liverpool is in good shape today, but Chen Yu is still the top priority of the defense, everyone can not relax for a minute, even if it is a leak, he can also complete the goal, this is his terrible place, Gerrard we have to guard against his long-range shot, and Reese, Agger and Alonso, their long-range shots were pretty good, and even if we couldn't stop them from shooting, we couldn't let them shoot comfortably, so that Lehmann had plenty of time to react......"
Arsene Wenger's deployment was timely and decisive, in the past, Wenger's on-the-spot command ability has been criticized by the outside world, but today, his on-the-spot command is still quite in place, preventing Arsenal from conceding consecutive goals and possible presumption.
After the game started again, Arsenal was very steady and calm, and did not attack because they were two goals behind, Liverpool planned to strike while the iron was hot and continue to expand the score, but their attack did not work, and they were almost broken by Arsenal's defensive counterattack, but Henry got a pass from Adebayo at the edge of the penalty area, and a push was saved by Reina.
I have to say that Liverpool and Benitez are in great shape today, seeing that Arsenal did not lose their minds because of continuous conceding goals, Benitez also quickly adjusted his tactics, let his players slow down the pace, and Arsenal to play a positional war and a war of attrition, they are now two goals ahead, and are not afraid of grinding with Arsenal, although they are planning to take revenge in this game, but to win a little, as long as they can win, even if they can't play a big score, it can be regarded as a partial completion of revenge, not to mention that the game is still long enough, Liverpool's headers have an advantage over Arsenal, and Benitez believes Liverpool have a chance to continue scoring from set-pieces if they continue to grind.
Originally, Arsenal saw the hope of scoring, but after Benitez adjusted, Liverpool contracted the defense, strengthened the tackles and tackles in the midfield, Arsenal's short pass penetration immediately became fragmented, and the counterattack lacked enough and fluency, and could only turn the opportunity to counterattack into a positional battle, and the positional battle is exactly what the physically strong and rough Liverpool is good at, Arsenal hardly got a decent shot opportunity in the remaining twenty minutes of the first half,
Fifteen minutes after the break, neither side made adjustments to the lineup, Liverpool scored two goals in the half, Benitez had no reason to doubt his lineup and tactical play, and although Arsenal was scored two goals, but in the professor's opinion, the first goal was conceded because Arsenal had not yet entered the game and was attacked by Liverpool, and the second goal conceded was that Liverpool was too lucky, so that Chen Yu picked up a leak, Wenger did not think that there was anything wrong with his arrangement, And the Arsenal players who appear on the pitch now are already the best 11 players, and replacing anyone will not have the effect of changing the tide of the game, so Wenger also chose not to move.
Although both sides were in the same half in the second half, the style of play has changed significantly from the first half, Liverpool in the first half of the onslaught at the beginning, the momentum is like a rainbow, in the second half Liverpool in the positional attack in the general force, but on the set-piece but go all out, showing the ambition to continue to expand the score.
In the first half, Arsenal entered the state slowly, and there was no confidence in winning, so that the first half of the first half has been suppressed by Liverpool, and also conceded two goals, after the start of the second half, Arsenal changed the slow heat of the first half, and actively attacked at the beginning, and gave up the play of side assists, still based on short pass penetration, and the side assists only attract defense and expand space for the penetration of the middle.
There is no doubt that Arsenal who plays short passes to penetrate is the real Arsenal, and it is also the most threatening Arsenal, even if Liverpool is in excellent form today and still shrinks the formation, they can only frequently use fouls to prevent Arsenal from penetrating their own penalty area.
Set-pieces are Arsenal's shortcoming, defensively, they struggle to defend the ball, and in attack, they can't compete with Liverpool's strong defenders and midfielders, and although Arsenal have had a lot of set-piece opportunities, they have never been able to pry Liverpool's goal.
In the 15th minute of the second half, Liverpool, who had been passive, grabbed Baptista at the edge of the central penalty area, and Alonso's long pass found his striker Chen Yu.
Chen Yu barely got the ball in the front of Arsenal's penalty area in the second half, but even so, Arsenal still did not relax their defense against him, although Alonso's long pass was fast, but Chen Yu was still knocked to the ground by Denilson when he got the ball.
Would rather give Liverpool a free-kick in front of the field than allow Chen Yu to attack with the ball, which has formed a consensus at Arsenal.
The referee's whistle blew for a free-kick, but Denilson did not receive a yellow card.
Although the first few set-pieces did not score, Liverpool still put all their attacking players into the Arsenal penalty area, still hoping to take advantage of the opportunity of free kicks to break down the Arsenal goal again.
CCTV commentator He Shishi praised Benitez's tactic, "Since it is impossible to gain the upper hand in possession, strengthening the attack of set-pieces is a stable way, after all, compared with a quick counterattack, the risk of set-pieces is much smaller, and the opportunity to attack is no worse than counterattacking." ”
The free kick was about 3o meters away from the goal, and it was not a good opportunity to shoot directly, as Liverpool's only striker, Chen Yu rushed to the penalty area to grab the point, and Alonso came to take the free kick.
In the case of having the advantage of heading, Alonso did not play any tricks, and directly hoisted the ball into the penalty area to find Chen Yu, and Chen Yu lived up to expectations, he was the first to judge the landing point of the ball, and was the first to jump up and head the goal.
Arsenal's defense of Chen Yu is ubiquitous, even if Chen Yu jumped the earliest, but was also disturbed by Gallas, the French defender was very smart to pull Chen Yu's shirt below, top Chen Yu's waist and eyes, so that Chen Yu could not strength, as a result, the power of the ball was insufficient, and was punched out by goalkeeper Lehmann.
The ball flew towards Liverpool full-back Reese, who chested the ball and fired a shot straight to the left of the 323-metre midfield.
Reese's long-range shot was of high quality, and even from such a distance, the ball still flew towards the goal like a cannonball.
Lehmann had just made a save on the left, then moved to the right and leaped to the top to save Reese's shot again.
At this time, Liverpool's large number of troops played a role, the ball fell again by Liverpool's defender Finnan, Finnan did not have Reese's long-range shooting ability, he saw that the goalkeeper fell to the ground and did not get up, he did not stop the ball and hoisted the ball directly to the penalty area, let his teammates fight for the top.
Arsenal's penalty area is chaotic enough, after Liverpool's three consecutive attacks, it is like a hornet's nest, and no one can find the object of their defense, that is, who can top the ball, who can clear the siege.
Finnan's ball is hoisted into the penalty area, neither the offensive player nor the defender can borrow the force, Ljungberg and Gerrard both hit the ball, but Ljungberg did not clear the siege, Gerrard did not push the ball towards the goal, the ball in the air like a dolphin balloon bouncing in the air, goalkeeper Lehmann can only stare at it, but he has no way to take the ball down, because there are too many players, he can't rush over at all.
After the ball jumped three times and touched five times, it finally flew to the top of Chen Yu's head, Chen Yu knew that even if he hit the ball, he couldn't break the goal, because he had no magic at all, so Chen Yu didn't go to the top of the ball, but planned to drop his chest and kick the ball with his feet, but Chen Yu was not alone, there were two Arsenal players around him, how could they let Chen Yu stop the ball calmly, Fabregas's head went directly to Chen Yu's chest, and he wanted to push the ball out, but Chen Yu didn't stop the ball, and Fabregas didn't run the ball over, The ball fell straight down.
Chen Yu couldn't see the ball when it fell, but he waved and kicked it by feeling, and he didn't really kick it, and the ball rolled past Cesc Fabregas's crotch, and then passed between Toure's legs, and slowly rolled into the net.
