203 Two people fighting wits and courage

Jurgen Klopp gritted his teeth, clearly in a bad mood, and they conceded another goal in front of half-time when they were about to equalise.

"Sun, that's great!" The crowd surrounded Sun Xiang and hugged him in the middle, which was a compliment to the scorer.

Of course, this is from the perspective of others.

"No, Bellerin, get out of the way, I'm going to be strangled!" Sun Xiang desperately pushed away Bellerin, who was rushing to the front, this little thing's hand was too strong.

'They had a two-goal lead ahead of the game and Arsene Wenger will be happy.'

'It has to be like that, I don't think he would have thought his team could do it that well. It was all thanks to one man, the wonder kid who helped the team with two set-pieces. Just looking at the first half, he was an absolute hero! Alan Smith also highly praised Sun Xiang's performance.

Arsene Wenger stood on the sidelines, clearly in a good mood and the goal was enough to bring joy back to the dressing room. For the next fifteen minutes, all they had to think about was how to keep that advantage.

There was only one minute of stoppage time in the first half, and at the end of stoppage time, the two sides returned to the dressing room.

With Arsenal bouncing and jumping on one side and Liverpool shrouded in gloom on the other, the Stadium of the Emirates Stadium has two incompatible "flavors" in the players' tunnel.

"That number four must be guarded against, he's too threatening!" Sitting in his seat, Van Dijk exhaled.

He was unhappy in the first half, with a relatively easy task at the back, thanks in part to Arsenal's lack of chances in front of goal, with few chances to face the goal directly.

For midfielders' passes down the middle, Van Dijk's high air advantage allows him to be an iron barrier for Liverpool's defence.

However, Sun Xiang's goal made him useless, and what was even more infuriating was that the free kick actually slipped past his feet, which made him unbearable, as if he had been teased.

"That kid has to pay the price!" He said viciously.

"Keep your emotions under control, kids!"

Klopp said at this time that he wants to stabilize the situation of the team.

"I understand what you're thinking, I'm the same, it's a game you can't lose, we need revenge. But that doesn't mean we need something else. ”

Jurgen Klopp drew on the board the tactics he had on the fly of a few minutes, which he thought would be the most effective way to get to the situation.

Arsenal attack around Sun Xiang on the wing, so they defend around Sun Xiang on the wing. , when defending, he saw Sun Xiang die, and after losing the ball, he counterattacked on the spot to attack, which is the best way he can think of.

"Coach, this..."

Obviously, the players seem to be a little less agreeable.

It's a very simple strategy, players only need to pay a lot of physical energy in exchange for possession, and it is an unequal but simple and crude method.

They haven't used it this season, though, and it's been rare in the past.

It's all too rare when they don't use three or four defenders to mark one person.

'It's the most effective, just play like that at the start of the second half, try it first.'

Jurgen Klopp is a typical German manager, and he demands a lot of tactical literacy from his players, and he absolutely says it.

The players didn't refute too much after hearing this, after all, this is what the coach meant.

Is it really worth sacrificing a few people to defend one??

※※※

Fifteen minutes passed, the players came on one after another, and the second half of the game was about to begin.

The two managers each set up a new style of play in preparation for the temptation to play at the start of the second half.

Liverpool saw clearly that it was to defend Sun Xiang and then control the ball ownership of the game, making Arsenal a rabble. Without a midfield commander, their possession drops and their control of the game is left to Liverpool.

"Oh! Liverpool are on the move! Are they going to attack fast as soon as they come up in the second half? ”

As he spoke, Mane met Milner's long ball and smashed into the 30-metre area, which is a dangerous place for any player with long-range shooting skills.

Xhaka didn't dare to stretch his legs in order to prevent Mane's long-range shot, and this also gave Mane a chance.

With a slight knock on his heel, Salah behind him suddenly broke free from Mustafi's defense and ran out, and Yingzheng's ball was a kick. Goalkeeper Petr Cech did a great job, leaping up and holding the ball in the air. Liverpool came close to setting the Premier League's record for the fastest goal of the season.

"Spirits, boys! Don't make a mistake! Arsene Wenger cautioned from the sidelines.

Cech was also cheering on his team-mates with the ball, and there was nothing to blame for having a bottleneck at the start of the game.

..................

'Sun passes to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, a combination of two veteran Bundesliga players.

'Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang shoots! Karius!! He blocked the Gabonese's shot, he was a hero! ”

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had good chances in the box, but Lovren next to him couldn't limit him effectively.

'He's got a lot of power, it's about his long runs, and in short, Karius and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang are both talented.

Three minutes later.

"Bellerin has passed Milner, Lovren has gone up! Cross, Aubameyang grabs it! There's a good chance of a reshoot! sun!! Didn't go in? ”

"You're asking too much of Sun! Haha, the location is really difficult. Alan Smith laughed. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's header was kicked out by Sadio Mane in the box and landed 30 yards from goal, Sun Xiang didn't stop the ball and tried to shoot straight at goal, but the ball flew high into the stands. This set of actions also successfully ushered in the ridicule of the "Red Army" fans.

Towards a minute later, Sun Xiang found Welbeck on the left side of the box with a diagonal long ball from a position similar to the first half's assist free-kick, but Welbeck's bouncing header hit the post again.

Less than 10 minutes after withstanding Liverpool's attack after the opening kick-off, Arsenal regained the initiative in midfield and their efficient attack had to keep Liverpool pressed back into their own half again.

Klopp frowned again, if it was compressed, his custom plan would not work.

So where exactly does the problem arise?

Klopp racked his brains to observe the situation on the pitch, and did not let go of every detail, including the movement of every player, which he watched.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, followed by an angry stamping of his foot, and sure enough, he found the problem.

Arsene Wenger changed tactics in the second half, and their tactical core was no longer Sun Xiang, but there was still Sun Xiang, as they began to attack around the middle four.

Sun Xiang has more freedom of movement, which is one of the main reasons why they can continue to press. Sun Xiang is not confined to the middle, he can get more space to dribble, and the lateral length makes it impossible for Liverpool's players to pay more to defend, while also not giving them that opportunity.

Sun Xiang had suffered this kind of loss before, which made his state plummet, as if the Milky Way had fallen for nine days, and he only took 90 minutes.

Therefore, when defending intensively against many opposing players, Sun Xiang increased his ball efficiency. He has also practiced this many times in his usual training to improve his accuracy when dealing with accidental balls.

Back on the pitch, Sun Xiang ran from right to left, trying to pick up Welbeck.

Such a noticeable move gave Liverpool's defenders an opportunity to perform, and they immediately surrounded Sun Xiang, making it impossible for him to take the ball and turn around easily.

"That's it!" Jurgen Klopp yelled from the sidelines, and that was his tactical intention.

However, unexpectedly, Welbeck still passed the ball to Sun Xiang.

What's going on? 、

The Liverpool crowd was a little confused, but they knew why they were right away.

Before Sun Xiang got the ball, his legs suddenly skimmed, and the football ran between his legs. He had no defenders behind him and couldn't make an interception at this point.

Behind him is Xhaka, the Swiss midfielder has been in ambush for a long time, and Sun Xiang also knows his position, otherwise he would not have missed it.

"Be careful!"

Karius shouted, but it was too late, no one could pounce on him in such a short time.

Xhaka charged his strip as if he had filled it up, aiming at the ball that was a little slow by the rubbing of the grass, and fired his shot straight towards the goal like a cannonball. Karius didn't react, the ball was too fast!

The absence of a defender in front of Xhaka made it easier for him to exert his strength, and Karius really had no choice.

"Coax~~~~"

The stands at the Emirates Stadium are once again roaring with a tsunami!
