The sudden heavy rain caused a lot of trouble for both Arsenal and Liverpool, and in the rest of the first half, it was difficult for both sides to organize an effective attack, on the contrary, the players on both sides gave up the attack very tacitly, and began to run constantly in the stadium, each of them used their own way to try to adapt to the rain as soon as possible, so as to give the opponent a fatal blow in the second half of the game.

In the 44th minute of the game, Hamann passed the ball to Colwill on the wing, but due to the rain, the ball was slippery, Colwill was stunned and did not stop Gerrard's pass, and the ball was directly obtained by Lauren, who was responsible for defending Colwill.

Seeing that the ball was actually given by Lauren, Colwill immediately rushed towards Lauren and prepared to steal. Lauren was not polite, and suddenly got up, ready to pass the ball to the feet of Pire behind Colwill, but due to slipping, the ball was forced by Lauren to put out the sideline, this scene suddenly made Colwill and Lauren both stunned, looked at each other, and shook their heads helplessly.

"Shit, this damn weather!" With Colwill and Lauren battling on the left side of the pitch and Liverpool and Arsenal on the bench, both Arsene Wenger and Lao Bei were able to observe their situation very clearly up close.

Seeing that both of them had low-level mistakes, Lao Bei and Wenger also cursed the damn weather, but the two seemed to forget that God was fair and did not take sides.

In the case of such a slippery field. The referee finally blew the whistle at the end of the first half, when the players from both sides heard the whistle. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then walked towards the players' tunnel with a tired face.

You know, although it only rained for less than ten minutes, it can make a mess of players on both sides, and not only be careful when receiving and passing the ball, so as not to make low-level mistakes like Colwill and Lauren. Even the speed of dribbling the ball did not dare to slow down, you must know that George and Henry were about to pass because of the speed of dribbling, because of the slippery field, they fell to the ground hard.

Be careful when receiving and passing the ball, the goalkeeper does not dare to be careless, for fear that the opponent's shot will be slippery and the ball will be slippery. The defenders did not dare to give the opponent any chance, the midfield's offensive and defensive speed could not be improved, and the striker's gorgeous foot skills could not be displayed, so that in this kind of shrinking situation, the players on both sides played very hard.

"Damn, it's raining anyway. How can I play football, I just slipped twice without the ball, and I can't play this game. "As soon as I got back into the dressing room. Owen said depressedly.

"Alright, Michael, don't complain. You don't feel good, don't the people at Arsenal feel good? "Follow the players into the dressing room. Lao Bei heard Owen's complaint, and couldn't help but comfort him.

In fact, the Arsenal players are just as uncomfortable as themselves. Owen also knew that it was just because he slipped twice without the ball, which made Owen feel very shameless and couldn't help complaining.

"Alright. The children. Actually, it's raining for us in Liverpool. More advantages. Don't complain. "I looked at all the players with a depressed look on their faces. Lao Bei couldn't help but smile and said comfortingly.

But at the same time. Lao Bei was also ready to pay attention. Be sure to increase rain battlefield practice in the future. Otherwise. Later, it suddenly rained in some important races. Lost because the opponent was better suited to the rain than Liverpool. That's a shame too.

"Coach. What do you say? I don't think so. I don't think it's just Arsenal. We are also disturbed by rainy weather. Attack speed. Strength of anti-seizure. It was really embarrassing to hit the ground. It seems who will be able to score on both sides. It depends on luck. ”

I heard Lao Bei say that Liverpool had an advantage in the rain battle. Cowell said with a depressed expression. Just among the Liverpool players. Colwill was the worst on the field. There were even cases where the ball was stopped and missed. This made the arrogant Cowell feel good.

"Alright. You guys don't have a good look at it, either. You have to know what Arsenal's strengths are. It's ground coordination and ground offense. It's raining now. Tell us how much this will affect Arsenal. Let's talk about us. We have indeed been affected, too. But at least we can play high balls. Use your header to smash the ball into the opponent's goal. But Arsenal is different. You look at the Arsenal strikers. It doesn't matter if it's Thierry Henry or Bergkamp. Both are the kind of ground strikers who are not good at heading. Even if Arsenal want to learn how to play high balls. That won't fight either

George and the others' eyes couldn't help but light up. Listening to Lao Bei say this, there is indeed a end. It's been a good rain. Successfully suppressed Arsenal's magnificent ground attack. It also allows Liverpool to move tactics from the ground to the air.

"I believe everyone understands, in the second half of the game, we will play high-altitude balls, Dietmar, Steven, the two of you in the second half of the game, you don't need to cut forward, you just need to pass the ball to Smitchell and Colwill, or George and Michael in the penalty area, is there a problem?"

"No problem coach!" For the head coach's arrangement, the two naturally have no problem, after all, both of them have a good long pass footwork, and now Lao Bei nails the two in the position of the back waist, which not only allows the two to reduce the length of running, reduce physical consumption, but also can form the team's first line of defense, and the support to the front court will not be reduced, Lao Bei's arrangement is undoubtedly the best.

"Colwill, Smitchell, because of the rain, the field is slippery, you don't have to stick to the ball, you don't have to go to people, passing, passing the ball constantly, understand?"

Colwill and Smitchelton nodded to show that they understood, after all, Colwill no longer wanted to keep sliding like in the first half, and that would be too shameless. As for Smitchell, after seeing Cowell keep sliding, he also felt scared, and naturally didn't want to be like Cowell.

"George. Your task is to grab points, and you don't want to retreat. After all, we have already decided to play the ball in the air in the second half, and you are responsible for smashing the ball into the goal for me, is that a problem? ”

"No problem, Coach!" George replied very simply, it was indeed no problem. For George, even if it is a header, there is nothing bad about it, after all, many of George's goals are also scored with his head.

"Michael, you don't have much of an advantage in heading. Your job is to take the opposing defender in charge and take the pressure off George. Of course, if you have the chance, you can shoot as well. ”

Owen nodded and didn't say anything, because Owen himself understood that he really didn't have any advantage in heading.

"Emily, you warm me up in the second half. Be ready to play at any time. When all the problems are solved, Husky said on the side of Lao Bei.

Husky nodded to show that he understood, Husky was not a fool, and naturally knew what the head coach meant by this arrangement. That's because the team has now decided on a strategy to play the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Irving has no advantage in this regard. As the UK's No. 1 centre-forward, he is always ready to play.

When Lao Bei was constantly arranging tactics for the players, he was in the locker room on the other side. Arsene Wenger was also walking back and forth in the dressing room with a depressed face at this time, and the rain fell too suddenly. This is undoubtedly a serious blow to Arsenal, who are good at cooperating and attacking on the ground. At this point, Arsene Wenger was still struggling with the tactics of the second half.

But no matter how angry Wenger was, time did not give face at all, and in the blink of an eye, the short fifteen-minute break of halftime had passed, and the second half of the game began again.

The rain did not stop at halftime, on the contrary, it continued to fall heavier, and now there is more and more water in the field, which makes the game of the players on both sides more difficult than the first half.

Fans suddenly found that in the second half of the game, both sides were unified, that is, both sides played the traditional British long pass and rush, Liverpool took into account the current situation, and the team has this qualification to play this kind of play. Arsenal, on the other hand, can't help it, there is more and more water on the field, and playing ground attack is definitely something that only fools do.

In the blink of an eye, all the fans saw was the ball flying around the stadium, and players from both sides sent the ball towards the penalty area, hoping that their teammates would use their luck to score first. But luck is luck, and that means luck isn't something you can get if you want it, and at least so far, neither side has had a single effective header on target.

Henry is depressed, because he is taller than Bergkamp, so Arsenal players generally pass the ball to Henry in the penalty area. After seeing that most of the Arsenal players were looking for Henry, Hyypia and Yepes unceremoniously began to take care of Henry, which made Henry eat all the words.

Henry is not good at heading balls, don't look at a height of 1.88 meters, but his body is simply too thin compared to Hyypia and Yepes, in the penalty area, Hyypia and Yepes don't even have to jump, as long as they push Henry lightly, they can push Henry aside and break the ball very easily.

Henry's depression, don't talk about it, at this time, Henry almost wanted to yell at his teammates, why don't you pass the ball to me all if you have nothing to do, why don't you pass the ball to Bergkamp on the side, isn't he human.

Compared with Henry, George's situation is much better, he is already very strong, whether it is Sigan or Campbell, it is not easy to overthrow George.

Although there is no chance for George's three headers at present, George has begun to slowly adapt to the rain battle, and the power of the header is getting stronger and stronger.

Seeing the two giants of the Premier League actually playing the traditional long pass rush, all the fans couldn't help but be surprised. You must know that with the development of football games, the Premier League's long pass rushing hanging has fallen behind, and at present, in the Premier League, except for some weak teams, it can only be seen, and in the Premier League's giant teams, it is basically impossible to see the long pass rushing hanging.

Whether it is Arsenal's endless ground coordination, Manchester United's two-way take-off, or Liverpool's rapid attack, these fans are very familiar, but this time Arsenal and Liverpool both sent long passes, and all fans couldn't help but be stunned. However, taking into account the current weather and venue conditions. After all the fans reacted, they understood. So he began to watch intently at the double pair playing long passes. I want to see what the Premier League's giant teams will look like when they play the traditional English style of play.

Although the long pass rush of the two sides was a little rusty at the beginning, and it was not as smooth as the weak team, everyone was sighing. A big club is a big club, and the individual strength and adaptability of the players are really very strong. No, after more than ten minutes of adaptation, Liverpool and Arsenal have become accustomed to long passes and hanging, and they play with a decent look, no worse than those teams that specialize in playing long passes.

Truly. Liverpool's play was simple: handing the ball to midfielders Hamann and Steven Gerrard, who were then deciding whether to pass it to Mitchell and Colwill or hoist it into the box.

It's easier for the Arsenal players, although they are not used to this kind of play, but the players who are inside are world-class stars. After about ten minutes of adaptation, Ljungberg and Pire managed to pick up the responsibility of organizing the attack. Constant catch-and-pass passes.

It can be said that Liverpool and Arsenal are on par in terms of dispatch, but at this time everyone can see that Liverpool has begun to gradually gain the upper hand. Because George and Henry compared. Although not as high as Henry, George's header kung fu. Obviously much better than Thierry Henry, having adapted to the defence of Sigan and Campbell. The danger of George's header has also increased dramatically.

However, Henry was completely caught up in the care of Yepes and Hyypia at this time, and it was difficult to even grab a point. Not to mention a header.

"Emily, get ready, play!" Seeing that the situation on the field was at a stalemate for a while, Lao Bei asked Husky who was warming up on the side.

"Coach, don't worry, I'm ready for a long time." Knowing that the head coach was ready to put himself on the court, Husky said excitedly. If you score the decisive goal in such an important game, then you are a hero for Liverpool. Thinking of this, Husky couldn't even wait to play.

"Well, since that's the case, then you can play and share the pressure on George in the penalty area, understand?" Although Lao Bei's words were not very clear, Husky also understood what Lao Bei meant, that is, he asked himself to go to the penalty area to grab points, become the first object of care for the opposing defenders, reduce the pressure on George, and then George will have a chance.

Thinking of this, Husky nodded to show that he understood, after all, this kind of thing has not been done less before.

"Liverpool made a substitution, replacing Michael with Emilli, and it is clear that Mr. Benitez was the right man to choose this time, and in this case Michael has lost his biggest weapon, which is speed and spirit. The physical and header weaknesses made it impossible for Michael to just fight like his good brother George, but to watch from the sidelines, which was undoubtedly a waste of a precious man for Liverpool. Now that Emily is on the pitch, Emilly can successfully relieve the pressure on George and become the biggest threat to the Arsenal goal. It was clear that Mr Benitez was ready to play the ball high in the air in the second half, with both strikers having good headers. ”

After a quick run to the sideline and a high-five with Husky, Irving sat down on the bench tiredly, gasping for air. In fact, Owen has long been like letting Lao Bei replace him, because Owen found that he had no role on the field, and Arsenal's defenders even ignored his existence.

However, Owen has endured it, Owen doesn't want to say that he is afraid of Arsenal because he took the initiative to ask Lao Bei to replace him, or he doesn't want Liverpool to win the championship A series of rumors, although Owen doesn't care, but he still doesn't want these troubles.

Now, he can finally rest, and Owen is sitting on the bench, watching the situation on the field with a relaxed face.

"Damn it." Seeing Lao Bei replace Owen with Husky, Wenger couldn't help but curse, Wenger also knew that Husky was on the court, and in this weather, Husky was even more threatening than George and Owen. Thinking of this, Wenger shook his head helplessly, hoping that Campbell and Sigan could withstand the pressure.

As soon as he came on the field, Heskey received a pass from Smitchell and headed the goal, but because it was his first header, Hesky, who was not yet fully in the game, deflected the goal. But even so, it scared Arsenal and Liverpool fans were ecstatic.

Everyone can see that Liverpool at this time has the absolute upper hand in headers after replacing Husky, and if Arsenal has not thought of any way, then Liverpool will score sooner or later.

"Hey!" After seeing Heskey's header, Wenger looked at Henry's header and found that Henry was really unfit for a header. Seeing this situation, Wenger couldn't help but turn his head to look at the substitute striker on the bench, and found that there was really no striker in his hand who had a good header kung fu, seeing this, Wenger couldn't help but sigh.

"It seems that at the end of this season, we need to buy a strong centre-forward, otherwise if this situation is encountered, we Arsenal will only be able to defend with all our might." Seeing that none of the strikers on the bench had good headers, Wenger couldn't help but decide.

However, Wenger seems to have forgotten that it is Wenger himself who resolutely does not need a tall striker, let alone a striker with good heading ability, because Wenger has built a team that focuses more on coordination and ground attack, focusing on the player's foot technique and speed. That's why there is an embarrassing situation that Wenger can't find a striker with a good header at present, which can only be said to be Wenger's own payment for his persistence. (To be continued.)
