Chen Yu passed the ball into the penalty area without interference, the ball was fast and spinning, and it was still very close to the goal. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Liverpool does have a lot of players to grab points, there are people in the front, middle and back points, but Arsenal's players are very physical, faster, they have two more players than Liverpool's players, they are basically following Liverpool's front point and middle strong point players, under mutual restraint and interference, the players in the front and middle points have not been able to touch the ball, and Kuyt at the back point has no one to keep up with him, but Kuyt's position is more awkward, the first he is far away from the goal, and the second is that Chen Yu passed too close to the goal, If the player in the front and middle grabs the landing point, the ball is undoubtedly scored, but the player at the back point grabs the landing point, it is difficult to say, the direct attack angle is too small, the distance is a little far, and if the ball is passed in, the attack is too cumbersome, and the opponent's defensive players will be more fully prepared.

There was almost no time left for Kuyt to think, and as a striker, Kuyt subconsciously chose to head the ball on goal.

Kuyt's header ability is still relatively good, such a small angle, he can still push within the range of the goal frame, this is worthy of being a world-renowned striker, even if Chen Yu, Vanney and others are replaced to head the ball, it is estimated that it is this level.

Although the header was well topped, it was a bit far away, and for a goalkeeper like Almunia, such a header was not too threatening, he didn't even give Liverpool a corner, and he made a flying save and held the ball directly in his arms.

The save was a morale boost for Arsenal, with the Gunners fans in the stands applauding Almunia for breaking up Liverpool's counter-attack.

Although the game time was running out in the first half, the Arsenal players did not give up, after Almunia held the ball, he got up and wanted to throw the ball to his teammates and quickly launched a counterattack, but Kuyt is also very experienced, he blocked Almunia in front of him at the first time, preventing him from throwing the ball out.

Almunia changed direction several times but was unable to throw the ball out, so he had to give up on a quick counter-attack and wait for his team-mate to come over to catch the ball before throwing it over.

Kuyt, who is known as a model worker, immediately ran back after stopping Arsenal's quick counter-attack, ready to assist his team-mates in defence.

Kuyt is not Liverpool's most important player, nor is he the most talented, he is not even as individual as Crouch, but his performance made the Liverpool fans in the scene awe-inspiring and couldn't help but applaud him.

Under Liverpool's tight defense, Arsenal's last attack was unable to break through the door guarded by Reina, and referee Webb blew the whistle at the end of the first half after giving more than a minute of stoppage time, and Liverpool temporarily led Arsenal 1-0.

At the end of the game, Liverpool was warmly welcomed by the fans, and at the exit of the mixed channel, many fans even threw confetti and flower petals on Chen Yu, which shows the fans' admiration for Chen Yu.

Rafael Benitez arrived early in the home dressing room and shook hands with Liverpool's main players, praising them for playing well in the first half and working with his assistant coach to help them relax their muscles.

After the players took a break, Benitez took out his notebook and pointed out to the players the problems they had in the first half and told them how to correct them.

'The first half was generally better, the 1-0 score was what we wanted to achieve, and in the second half we had to build on and keep scoring. Even though we are playing at home, it is still difficult to play against Arsenal and we can't match them in possession, but that's fine, so we can play on the counter-attack with peace of mind. ”

"In the second half, we still need to pay attention to our physical problems, everyone is working hard, the rest time is too short, if the rhythm is pulled up by Arsenal, our physical fitness may not be able to hold up, you have to distribute physical energy reasonably, you must attack resolutely when you have the opportunity, only by scoring more goals, we can keep the final victory."

"Chen Yu's position in the second half can be a little more flexible, Chen, in the second half, you can play as a striker and a midfielder, and if you have a chance to score, you can move forward, and if you don't have a chance, you can help defend."

――

While Rafael Benitez was explaining the tactics of the second half to his Liverpool players, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was also laying out the tactics for his players in the dressing room.

"In the first half we played our own characteristics, the possession advantage was on our side, we had more shots, but we lacked a little luck, hopefully in the second half we can change this scoreless situation and equalize the score as soon as possible, only then can we hope to win this strong conversation."

"The score is behind in my expectation, I have been emphasizing before the game that our advantage is in fitness, and now I still say this, we must speed up the tempo, the faster the better, and never give Liverpool a chance to breathe, I don't believe that Liverpool had a bad fight in Istanbul, another long flight, but only two days off, I don't believe they will be better than us."

'In the second half we just had to keep going, don't let Liverpool extend the score and bring down Liverpool's fitness so that our chances came.

In the end, Wenger was as passionate as Mourinho and Ferguson, "Now the teams competing for the title are still the original four, but we and Liverpool are in the best situation, cross the Liverpool level, we will have a smooth sail in the future, and may even sing all the way, I hope you will play this game as if it were a final, I believe you, boys, come on!" If we can win the title this season, you will create a miracle that is comparable to Arsenal's unbeaten record back then, because you are younger, you are not favored by anyone, you believe in yourself, you can only do miracles by believing in yourself. ”

It's rare for the professor to have an exciting speech, and the Arsenal youngsters are a little excited, and when they leave the locker room to go to the field, their steps are particularly firm and powerful, and they feel like they are about to go to the battlefield.

Arsenal came out of the dressing room earlier, the Liverpool fans on the scene were idle, and when they saw the Arsenal players coming out, they immediately gave them all the boos, and many Reds fans also tampered with their team song to mock Arsenal, "You will never win the championship!" You're gunners! You're never going to win the championship......"

The Gunners' fans tried their best to cheer and applaud their players and try to defend their players, but in the tsunami-like boos of Liverpool fans, the sound they made was like a mosquito chirping and had no effect.

It wasn't until the Arsenal players came out that the Reds fans turned their boos for Arsenal into cheers for Liverpool.

The game resumes with Liverpool's players kicking off.

Liverpool still continued the tactics after scoring in the first half, defending well, pressing in the midfield, compressing space, and waiting for opportunities to counterattack.

After Arsenal got the instructions of the professor in the locker room, they strengthened the pressing in the game, and the forward players also forced Liverpool's defenders like mad dogs, never letting Liverpool have a little breathing space, this kind of relentless play made Liverpool very uncomfortable, the ball could not pass three feet at all, and the mistakes were nearly doubled compared with the first half, not to mention that they are now playing defensive counter-attacks, even if they really play against each other, they dare not say that they can attack Arsenal's half.

You must know that Arsenal is a giant team at the same level as Liverpool, the players of the giant team are basically stars, and the stars are more identity-oriented, playing like a relegation team, full of pressing, in the relegation team, this is bloody, but in the giant team, this is easy to be laughed at, so the general giant team is to convince people with technology, and now Arsenal is so desperate, Liverpool is really a little uncomfortable.

Seeing that Liverpool's players were robbed in a hurry and full of mistakes, Liverpool's on-site commentator couldn't help but say: "When Arsenal's technical flow also begins to play pressing tactics, this game is not easy to play, if the technical players are willing to fight, their observation of the overall situation, and the judgment of the ball line will make their success rate in pressing higher than that of ordinary players, if Liverpool's players can't think of a good way, I'm afraid they will play very painfully later." ”

Benitez also sensed a hint of danger, but Benitez's personality has always been a little more conservative, and when this danger was not too obvious, he did not react, just communicated with the assistant coach and continued to wait for changes.

In the 55th minute of the game, Arsenal had another good chance to equalize.

This is Arsenal's successful steal in the front, Fabregas forced into the penalty area, and passed back to Rosicky after encountering a strong block from Liverpool, Rosicky split the side, Eboue crossed the penalty area, Adebayo grabbed the point in the middle and fell in the penalty area with Carragher, Hleb at the back point stabbed into the net, but Carragher raised his hand to signal that Adebayo was fouled during the scramble, and the referee Webb waved his hand to signal that the offensive foul was first, and Hleb's goal was invalid.

This made Arsenal's players very angry, especially Adebayo, because even if he fouled offensively, then Carragher must have committed a defensive foul, and the two reached out to pull each other when they were fighting for the top just now, but Carragher sued first, and actually got the sympathy of the referee and ruled that his teammate's goal was invalid.

"I didn't foul him, and if I did, he would have fouled more than me."

Adebayo protested to referee Webber and even reached for Webb.

Webber actually regretted it after the decision, when Carragher raised his hand to signal Adebayo to foul the whole stands, he impulsively awarded Adebayo a foul, but the referee's dignity is inviolable, even if it is wrong, Weber can not let the player question it so much, he warned Adebayo verbally with a sinking face, and then let Liverpool send a free kick at the back.

Wenger on the sidelines was also jumping in a hurry, he pulled the fourth official and yelled, but the fourth official was helpless and could only smile bitterly at Wenger.

Although Liverpool escaped, Benitez's face became serious, he now felt the danger, he did not dare to let the three strikers continue to stay on the field, quickly let Mascherano warm up, ready to replace Volenenen, strengthen the defense.

Because Liverpool has just broken the ball in the backfield, Liverpool did not dare to reverse the ball in the backfield when he opened a free kick in the backfield, goalkeeper Reina kicked the ball to the front, looking for his own striker, although under Arsenal's active pressing, Liverpool was not able to grab the ball, but Arsenal grabbed the ball and also had to go through Liverpool's layers of chasing and interception to hit Liverpool's penalty area, which is a success for Liverpool, they are now leading the score, and time consumption is part of the tactics.

In the 60th minute of the game, Mascherano stood on the sidelines and prepared to play, and at this time, Arsenal had another chance.

Rosicky's cross from the wing, Adebayo, who performed well in the game, finally grabbed the landing point in the penalty area, and under Carragher's interference, Adebayo still headed the goal with a powerful header.

Such a header is close and powerful, and it is very dangerous for the goalkeeper, but Reyna was still in good form today, he made a one-handed side-pounce, his fingertips touched the ball, the ball deflected slightly and bounced off the post.

When Adebayor scored with a header, many Arsenal people felt that the ball was there, and the anxious people stood up and were ready to cheer, but they didn't expect Reina to save the ball.

However, for Liverpool, the alarm was not lifted, and after the ball bounced out, it was in front of Fabregas, who rushed to the penalty area, and Fabregas did not have time to adjust, so he pushed with his foot.

After Reina pounced, Fabregas faced an empty goal, not to mention a subconscious push, even if he pushed with his eyes closed, he could shoot into the goal, but for a skilled person like Fabregas, such a big empty goal was kicked off, and the ball flew out against the post.

When Cesc Fabregas scored, the Liverpool fans were really desperate, they didn't believe that Fabregas's ball could be kicked at all, and when they saw the ball deflected off the line, the Liverpool fans almost cheered in unison, and at the same time applauded, as if Liverpool had scored again.

Cesc Fabregas also clung to his head after the shot, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

The commentator at the scene was surprised and delighted: "This can also be played, the midfield is the midfielder, if it is a striker, this will definitely go in." ”

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger jumped to his feet in a hurry, he couldn't grasp such an opportunity, and he couldn't blame anyone else for the loss.

Benitez was frightened on the sidelines, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and quickly raised his hand to signal for a change.

The fourth official raised the flag of substitution, Volenin down, Mascherano up.
