Chapter 628: Anfield Again!

"When you go through a storm

Please hold your head high

Don't be afraid of the dark

At the end of the storm, there was a golden sky

and lark's sweet singing

Through the wind, through the rain,

Your dreams may be shattered

But move forward with the hope in your heart

You'll never walk alone

You'll never walk alone......"

As soon as Li Zihan walked out of the away team's dressing room, he heard the singing of the Liverpool fans all over the field. This is the famous Liverpool team song "You'll Never Go Alone!" Whenever there is a home game, Liverpool fans always sing the song before the entrance ceremony of the two sides.

Although Li Zihan is an Arsenal player, he also loves Arsenal deeply. But let's be honest, he particularly likes the atmosphere at Liverpool's home stadium, and if you're a home player, you can find a sense of belonging just before the ceremony.

And every time the other players hear this loud song, everyone thinks of Liverpool legend Bill Shankly's famous "This is Anfield!" ".

Li Zihan looked at the sign on the player's tunnel, a little distracted. At this time, a big hand was on his shoulder, and Li Zihan turned around and saw a bun face

"Do you want to play here? I think it's the best home stadium in the Premier League and Europe! Gerald looked into Li Zihan's eyes and said.

Li Zihan skimmed, of course he knew what Gerald meant. In fact, Gerrard invited himself last season, when Arsenal faced Liverpool at Anfield, but that game was not a good memory for Liverpool fans.

"I'm not going to play here now, Steven, see you on the field!" Saying that, Li Zihan beckoned his teammates to line up and prepare to play.

Looking at the back of Li Zihan leaving, Steven Gerrard shook his head.

In fact, Gerrard really wants Li Zihan to join Liverpool, because he sees the shadow of his youth from Li Zihan. The dedication to the team's victory, the spirit of never giving up in the face of difficult situations. It's really similar to Gerrard himself.

And now that Gerrard is old and the day of leaving Liverpool is getting closer, it is natural for him to look for his successor. Everyone thinks that Henderson is his chosen successor, but in fact, Li Zihan is the successor he wants the most.

If Li Zihan agrees, Gerard is already ready. He will leave this old face to go to the president and board of directors of the club to advocate the signing of Li Zihan, and the big deal is to spend all the income from the sale of Suarez this summer, and then add some money or make a player trade.

And Gerrard also believes that manager Brendan Rodgers welcomes Li Zihan very much.

But it's a pity that the falling flowers are intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless!

"After the loud Liverpool team song, this battle officially begins!"

"The referee of this game is the bald Webber, it is said that after the end of this season, the world-class referee who has been in charge of the Premier League for many years will choose to retire, which is really not good news for Premier League fans, there are not many excellent referees in the Premier League, and now there is one less"

Arsenal kicked off first, Li Zihan continued to cooperate with Ozil after dribbling the ball, and finally shook off Henderson with a feint, and wanted to advance with the trend, but was put down by Gerrard.

Gerald had no ill intentions, he came up and pulled Li Zihan up in a friendly way.

"Obviously, as the captain, Gerrard knows Li Zihan's ability, and he is not very relieved to let the opponent rush to the core of his side with the ball, so he chose to foul."

"It's only been a minute into the game, and Liverpool is playing at home, so it's definitely not going to be a card."

Webber did not give Steven Gerrard a card, but only gave Arsenal a set-piece.

The distance is a little far, even if Li Zihan's free kick skills are perfect, there is no way. So Li Zihan chose to make a cooperation with his teammates, and he turned a direct free kick into an indirect free kick!

As a result, Merderssat lifted the ball high and eventually flew off the baseline.

Liverpool launched a counter-attack, but in the daily contact point of the day, their attack was still largely due to the breakthrough of Lallana and Raheem Sterling, and then Coutinho's sudden shot and response.

These have been calculated by Wenger, and Liverpool's attack is naturally less able to threaten Arsenal's goal.

In fact, Liverpool's attack really didn't threaten Ospina's goal, and the back line formed by Medsatt, Hevedes and Russ Bender was impregnable!

Even a little quickie like Raheem Sterling, after breaking through, his shots were interfered with, and the guide didn't even have a goal frame range or anything like that

However, Arsenal's attack has often terrified Liverpool fans, and if it weren't for the fact that Skrtel's watch was as steady and excellent as ever, and Mignolet didn't desert, maybe Arsenal would have scored by now.

However, Liverpool did not last long in the end, and Arsenal still scored at the end of the 12th minute.

This is a typical Arsenal-style goal, Li Zihan and Sanchez pressed on the sideline, Pogba and Ozil organized an attack in the middle, Giroud grabbed the point in front of him, suppressed the big bald Skrtel, and made the Slovak central defender dare not leave his position at will.

Mesut Ozil's pass then found Sanchez, who then played the ball down the middle after tangling with Spanish full-back Moreno on the right to draw attention.

Mesut Ozertze should have picked up the football and passed it to Pogba with his back to Henderson. The talented French midfielder met the ball and took a long-range shot, and after Gerrard and Markovic were fooled by the defending defence, immediately. The football was distributed to Li Zihan on the other side.

Lee used his speed to get past Glenn Johnson, received the ball behind the opponent and then cut inside with the ball.

Gerrard immediately rushed over to fill in the interception, and Li Zihan did not choose to make head-on contact with Gerrard. He continued to distribute the ball to the wing and then went around Gerrard's flank.

Arsenal academy youngster Gibbs came up to set the side, just in time to receive Li Zihan's pass, and at this time Glenn Johnson's position was also very awkward, unable to reach Li Zihan inside, and unable to reach Gibbs outside.

Gibbs, who received Li Zihan's pass, took a look at the situation in the penalty area and directly picked up a cross from the side.

"Gibbs' cross!!"

Giroud gave Lovren a nudge and then jumped quickly, but Lovren didn't have time to complain to the referee and immediately jumped along.

By this time, Giroud, who had taken the first step, had already taken the advantage, and he used his forehead to push the ball down in the air. It's just that he didn't stop by himself, but knocked it to Li Zihan.

'Giroud header back to !!' Mortensen thought Giroud was going to hit the goal with his own header, but he didn't expect him to choose to make the ball for Li Zihan.

Li Zihan also ran to the position at this time, he leaned his body and swung his right foot directly against Giroud's header.

His right foot was slamming the instep of the ball, and the ball was like an angry bird, slamming headlong into the Liverpool goal.

Mignolet is like a little green pig, miserable to watch the football leap over his defense and into the goal behind him!

"Li Zihan !!!!"

"In the twelfth minute of the game, Arsenal No. 12 Li Zihan took the lead for the Gunners! Lee had only played one game at Anfield before, but it was a wonderful memory."

"The ball went in!!! It was Li Zihan who scored the goal!! Li Zihan's state this season is like eating Xuanmai, and he can't stop at all!! We can fully imagine the performance of the Chinese team in this Asian Cup," Zhan Jun said, and then he joked: "By the way, Xuanmai, please pay for advertising!" ”

Li Zihan waved his fist at the few Arsenal fans who came to the away stadium

After Arsenal scored, Rodgers did not make substitutions, and at this time the game had just begun, and he pulled Sterling down to his side for a face-to-face lesson!

"It seems that Liverpool are in danger again in this game, they lost to their arch-rivals Manchester United in the last game, and if they lose at home to Arsenal this time, Brendan Rodgers will have a really hard time."

'The only consolation for Liverpool is that the goal came early, and they still have more than 70 minutes to equalise and overtake'

After the game restarted, Liverpool's attacking mentality was more positive.

However, Arsenal was not prepared to counterattack because of this, but directly hit back with a stronger attack!

Liverpool's strikerless formation against Arsenal

"Liverpool's tactics are a failure, there is no genuine tough center forward in front of the interference of Arsenal's central defenders, which makes Merdessaart and Huedes have more room to move freely, Liverpool's four attacking midfielders can't find a breakthrough at all, but Lars Bender focuses on defense, although it is not black and hard, but the technical defense is not easy to break through, and it is more Pogba who can attack and defend."

"Actually, Arsene Wenger was going to attack aggressively. Otherwise, in the face of Liverpool's lineup, he can actually arrange Ramsey into it to form a reinforced concrete three-midfield configuration. Such a midfielder, playing Liverpool away from home with a defensive counterattack, a hit and a quasi! ”

Liverpool are struggling on their home turf, being pressed by Arsenal and they can't attack if they want to. Because Arsenal's attack is more ferocious than theirs, Sanchez, Li Zihan and Giroud are all very strong strikers and very pressing.

This gave the whole Arsenal team a lot of momentum encouragement, and this change in momentum is very difficult to describe.

In the words of Alan Hansen: "Arsenal are very confident at the moment, no matter what kind of opponent they are facing. They always think they can score goals and they can win! So much so that he is very calm and unhurried in his actions, and this self-confidence is not blind arrogance, but is based on strong strength! ”
