Chapter 94: Conflict Breaks Out
Less than half a minute into the half, Liverpool completed a pass from Steven Gerrard who ignored the Brazilian Silva's defence and fired straight into the ball from 30 yards away from goal.
Gerrard's long-range shooting power and technique are definitely among the best in the world, and unlike Robert Los and Serbia's Stankovic, Gerrard's long-range shots are just degrees, and the ball is in operation, and there is a certain small arc.
In short, Gerrard's long-range shot is very sharp, very fast, and can also have a certain small arc, this kind of shot as long as the ball flies in the direction of the goal, then the probability of scoring is very good.
The ball flew straight to the upper left corner of the goal like a cannonball, although it did not score in the end, but flew out of the bottom line by grazing the post, but Gerrard's shot still scared the whole Arsenal team into a cold sweat.
"It's a pity, we almost scored with Steven's long-range shot, but it doesn't matter, we still have time anyway, and hopefully in the next game, we can see more of Steven's shots in this way." Seeing that the ball didn't go in, the commentator also said with some regret.
"What are you doing, how can you give that guy such an easy shot, are you guys playing?" Scared into a cold sweat by Gerrard's long-range shot, Lehmann shouted at his teammates after reacting.
Indeed, just now Silva was not too strict with Jed's defense, and he did not post it too early to defend Gerrard, which gave Gerrard the opportunity to choose a long shot. But then again, Liverpool didn't have a decent long-range shot in the entire first half, and Arsenal's defenders naturally lost their vigilance against Liverpool's long-range shots, and it was understandable that Silva didn't post it in time.
"Damn Germany." Hearing his teammate Lai loudly accusing the Brazilian Silva behind him, he couldn't help but curse. Although he knew that it was indeed his own problem just now, Silva would naturally be very unhappy when he thought that his teammate Lehmann was so faceless and accused himself loudly.
But back, Lyman's characteristic is a unforgiving mouth, or a big mouth that provokes right and wrong is one of Lyman's biggest characteristics, no matter where or under what circumstances, Lyman will never take care of his mouth.
"That's a bit right. What the hell is Liverpool trying to do? Arsene Wenger was relieved to see Steven Gerrard's long-range shot missed. But when Arsene Wenger reacted. The more I feel that Liverpool is preparing some kind of conspiracy.
You must know that when Gerald was far away, Gerald was beside him. Whether it's Colwill or Smitchell. Or George outside the box. Gerrard can both pass in wear. However, Gerrard did not pass the ball and opted to shoot from distance.
It was this that made Wenger suspicious. As the heart of Liverpool's midfield, Gerrard has studied it carefully. Arsene Wenger knows it well. Steven Gerrard is not a solo player. So when I saw that Gerrard could obviously pass the ball. I chose to shoot from a distance. Arsene Wenger couldn't help but wonder.
However, he didn't wait for Wenger to think too much, and Liverpool's second attack moved again. In the 7th minute of the second half, Reeser cut off the ball at Pire's feet. Handed the ball to the front court, Colwill and Colwill cut straight inside. Also like Gerrard, he ignored the interception in his current map Ray chose to shoot from a distance.
However, Colwill hit the ground from distance with a bit of a positive spirit, and Lyman double-punched it out. The ball fell right outside the box, George. George didn't wait for the ball to hit the ground. Shoot with your foot raised. But the ball ended up on Sigandhi. There was no threat to the goal.
Constantly shooting from a distance? At this time. After seeing Liverpool attack once or twice. Arsene Wenger is not a fool either. Naturally, Liverpool's attack has changed dramatically.
Seeing this situation, Wenger looked at Lao Bei on the Liverpool bench with disdain, and thought: Damn, Lao Tzu's team is not an iron turtle, you actually let the players choose to shoot from a distance, constantly squandering the limited attack, and wasting the opportunity to attack like this, looking down on me so much. Hehe, it looks like I'm being underestimated by you, damn Spaniard, well, I'll let you know how good Wenger is.
Thinking of this, Wenger suddenly walked to the sidelines, shouted loudly, and made a downward pressure gesture with both hands towards Liverpool's goal, signaling the players to attack.
After receiving the order of manager Arsene Wenger, the Arsenal players who had suppressed themselves for a long time suddenly tore off the veil of hypocrisy on their faces and began to attack Liverpool frantically.
It turned out that at halftime, Wenger was worried that as soon as Liverpool came on the field, he would move a crazy attack, although the team was one goal behind Liverpool, but considering that Liverpool's fast attack was very sharp, and it was still in the opponent's home field, Wenger thought twice and decided to defend first and withstand Liverpool's initial 20 points of attack.
However, at this time, seeing that Liverpool did not organize an attack decently, but instead began to shoot from a distance, Wenger naturally was not polite, waved his big hand, signaled the player to press up, and attacked.
After all, although the long-range shot looks very exciting and gives people a very shocking sense of impact, but compared with the shot in the penalty area, the goal rate of the long-range shot can be said to be low and scary.
Liverpool opted for a long-range shot, which was simply polite to themselves and reassured themselves to attack. How could Arsene Wenger remain indifferent and not accept Liverpool's good intentions?
Arsenal is known as the Gunners, and it can be seen from the nickname how powerful and terrifying Arsenal's attack is, and it can be said that to some extent, Arsenal's attack is the first in the UK, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first.
In the 9th minute of the second half, Ljungberg received Henry's header and volleyed directly at the top of the penalty area, the ball flew directly to the bottom right corner of the goal, and was dragged out of the bottom line by Corkland.
Pire's corner kick directly found the top of Sigan's head, and in the face of Pire's corner kick, Sigan was also unceremonious, and under the interference of Hyypia, he forcibly jumped up and headed the ball, but unfortunately the ball hit the crossbar and was held by Corkland when it rebounded.
"Everyone, be serious." Kirkland was also taken aback by Sigan's header, but Corcorland is only a newcomer to Liverpool's main players at this time, and naturally he will not blame his teammates like the lion king Kahn and Lehmann, but can only remind his teammates.
"Everybody be serious, concentrate and don't let the other side have a chance to shoot." Hyypia still understood Corkland's difficulties very well, and seeing that Corcorland spoke a little tactfully, Hyypia stood up at this time and reminded his teammates loudly.
It's a pity that Arsenal's attack did not stop because of this, and it seems that it was these attacks that allowed the Arsenal players to enter the game
There was a lot of improvement, with Vieira and Silva sending the ball forward again and again in midfield.
In the first minute of the second half, Henry received a pass from Bergkamp and shook off Carragher's shot, but Henry's shot this time did not hit the power, and the temper was not very fast and Kirkland grabbed it steadily.
"It's not okay to go on like this, Arsenal's attack is already fully up, and if Arsenal continues with this momentum, I don't know when, Arsenal will equalize."
Seeing that Arsenal has gone through several attacks, the attack has improved greatly, Lao Bei can't sit still, and after thinking about it for a while, the players on this game shouted loudly: "What are you doing again, why are you all hiding in my own half of the field, I go up, press up and attack, what I need is to attack and score." ”
With Lao Bei's shouting, Liverpool and Arsenal have completely started the offensive battle, and the attacks between the two sides are very intense, so lively, which also makes the Liverpool fans on the scene feel a little worried when Arsenal is attacking, and they also feel enthusiastic when Liverpool is attacking.
Liverpool had not had time to extend their lead before Arsenal seized a chance to level the scores.
In the 18th minute of the second half, Henry went to Bergkamp's pass, chased the ball directly, dribbled diagonally into the Liverpool penalty area, and forced a shot under the defense of Hyypia. The ball wasn't very fast, but it was a bit high, and Corkland was a little up front and could only watch it go into the net.
“1!!! Thierelli's beautiful shot finally broke the back of the net against Liverpool, and after 20 minutes of hard work, Arsenal finally got on the scoresheet, and the two sides were on the same page again. ”
"!" Looking at the Senna players who were celebrating, Corkland kicked the goalpost next to him in anger and couldn't help but curse.
There are only about 20 minutes left in the game to end, and at this time, it was too polite to be equalized by Arsenal, and it was such a simple shot.
That's right, it's a single shot, and Henry's shot is nothing spectacular. You know, on the football field, the simpler the shot, the more goals will be scored. Because it's simple, the attacking player doesn't give the opposing defender and goalkeeper much to think and defend. And then again, if you can score a goal with a simple shot with one foot, then who will choose a difficult shot.
Just like Maradona's Century Advance: Although this goal is very powerful, if you look closely, you can see that Maradona was forced by England players to shoot in this way.
Because England's defense was very tight at that time, Maradona was afraid that if he didn't force the ball to run and break through, he would probably lose the ball. The reason why Maradona was able to score a century of goals was because Maradona was very strong in his own right, and he had to add a certain amount of luck. In a word, generally the more wonderful the shot, the more you are forced by the opponent.
When do you see a striker with a single knife, nothing to do, all go to the goalkeeper and dribble the ball directly to the opponent's goal to score, although this is very exciting, very cool, but basically a single striker, will shoot from a distance.
However, the Brazilian Ronaldo is a different one, pendulum-style shot push in Barcelona, and that's because Ronaldo is absolutely sure that he can score. Otherwise, Ronaldo would not have chosen that difficult way to shoot. If you think about it, how many pendulum swings Ronaldo has had past the opposing goalkeeper to shoot, very rarely.
If anything, it can only be said that Henry was very careful in his observation, and saw that Corkland was a little forward, and chose to shoot with a powerful volley.
Of course, Henry's shooting skills are also very accurate, otherwise, under Hyypia's close defense, Henry could still score a goal from a distance of only ten meters from the goal. If Henry said he was just shooting at random, I'm afraid no one would believe it.
"Damn it!" Seeing that Arsenal equalized at this time, Lao Bei couldn't help but be angry, at this time Lao Bei no longer had the calmness to lead the opponent by one goal at the beginning, at this time Lao Bei had already stood up and shouted loudly on the sidelines.
"Press it on me, attack, keep attacking." At Anfield, Liverpool's home stadium cannot tolerate a single defeat, even against a strong Arsenal side.
Lao Bei's words are not casual to say, even if Bei is stunned to replace Smitchell with Husky and play three forwards, Lao Bei is telling everyone with his actions that he will not accept a draw, and he wants to attack.
Seeing Liverpool replace a striker, Wenger also waved his hand unceremoniously, directly replaced the two, replaced the fellow Silva with a yellow card with the Brazilian Edu, and replaced Sigan with Lauren, so that Toure could return to the central defender who could be good at wielding his strength, and Lauren naturally became a fullback.
"When the kid comes on, I don't ask you to attack and form the first line of defense for Arsenal with Patrick Vieira, the reason for replacing you is because you don't have cards on you, you know what I mean?" As Edu and Lauren were about to play, Ge said to Edu with a serious face.
"I understand!" Edu nodded and replied, for what Wenger meant, Edu is very clear, that is, you don't have a yellow card on you, then give me a desperate defense, foul. It doesn't matter if it's a yellow card late, it's clearly a readiness to put Edu in a disruptive role, specifically breaking Liverpool's attack.
"En~ The managers of both sides have made substitutions at this time, Liverpool has replaced a striker, although Arsenal has not replaced a striker, but from the characteristics of the players on the field, Arsenal still pays attention to the balance of attack and defense."
'There's not much time, it's almost over, at Anfield we can't afford to fail, come on, get him one.' As the game started again, George yelled at the Liverpool players and turned and charged towards the Arsenal penalty area.
Yes, George is right, in our own home stadium, in front of tens of thousands of Liverpool fans, how can we accept a draw, even if it is a draw, for us Liverpool, it is a failure.
All the Liverpool players suddenly thought to themselves, and when they thought of this, everyone's faces became serious, and they just followed behind George and rushed towards the Arsenal penalty area.
"Hold on, Lauren, watch Cowell, Toure, watch your position, step back a bit." Seeing Liverpool's menacing attack, Lehmann couldn't help but feel a little nervous, shouting loudly, and commanding his teammates. You must know that Liverpool, with two strikers, has already given Lehmann a headache
Said that a Husky was added now.
Gerrard rushed towards Arsenal with the ball, his eyes coldly looking at the positions of the enemy and the enemy around him. At this point, Gerrard knew that the two sides were now tied, and there was no need for him to waste precious attacking opportunities by continuing to shoot from distance. So Gerrard didn't come to 30 yards out of the Arsenal penalty area and shoot like he did at the start of the second half, but distributed the ball to Owen in front of the right.
"Boy, leave the ball for me." Facing Owen, Kerr yelled loudly, hoping to shock Owen so that he could cut off the ball at Owen's feet.
But it's a pity that Owen is not a rookie who plays English for the first time, and after so many years of season grinding, Owen has become more and more mature. Facing Colwill, Owen did not feel a trace of nervousness, and directly changed direction and broke through the penalty area where Colwill was ready to enter Liverpool.
"Ahh Suddenly, Owen let out a scream, and then Owen fell into the penalty area. It turned out that Kerr chose to foul when he saw that he couldn't stop Irving, but unfortunately Irving's degree was too fast, and the foot that Kerr originally wanted to tackle ended up shoveling on Irving's left ankle, and Irving had already entered the penalty area at this time.
"What do you want to do, do you want to abolish Michael, what kind of hatred does Michael have with you?" Seeing Owen injured and fall to the ground, Husky on the side rushed over like an angry lion and grabbed Cole's jersey, his eyes shooting at Cole.
In the face of Husky's accusations, Kerr did not speak, because Kerr knew how much he looked at Irving's foul, which was uncertain and Irving would be abolished by himself for the rest of his life. Keane also shoveled Haaland's ankle at the beginning, ruining Haaland's career.
So at this time, Ko chose to be silent and did not defend himself. Seeing that Cole didn't say anything, Husky couldn't help but be furious, and immediately raised his fist, wanting to beat Cole hard.
"Boy, what do you want to do?" At this moment, Campbell rushed over and pushed Husky to the side, pulling Cole behind him and glaring at Husky.
"Damn, you want to do it, come on!" Seeing that Husky was pushed hard by Campbell, Gerald thought that Campbell was ready to make a move with Husky, but seeing this situation, Gerald immediately rushed over, pushed hard at Campbell, and glared at the deputy who was ready to make a move.
", what do you look like, Liverpool pig." Seeing Gerrard actually make a move, the Arsenal players immediately rushed over and surrounded Gerrard, ready to teach Gerrard a lesson.
"Fuck Senna bastard, fuck me out!" And the Liverpool players naturally did not sit idly by and saw Gerrard surrounded by the other side, and also rushed up Gerrard to save him from Arsenal's encirclement, glaring at the Arsenal players.
With the players on both sides making such a fuss, the originally suppressed heat and dissatisfaction with the other party completely exploded at this moment, and the players on both sides suddenly surrounded and began to push, push and squeeze, and there was a possibility of moving at any time.
From the beginning of the scolding, it gradually turned into pushing each other, and there was a possibility of conflict at any time.
"**, get out of the way!" At this time, George and Colwill and the players who were far away from the place of the incident finally rushed over, and saw that their teammates were surrounded by Arsenal players, George was not polite, and directly pushed Ljungberg to the crowd, and pointed to Lehmann, who was the most emotional, with a warning look.
"Damn, you kid is looking for death!" Don't look at the press conference at the Secha press conference, George and Vieira were talking and laughing, looking like good buddies. But you must know that Vieira is definitely not a good bird, and at this time, seeing that his teammate was pushed by George, Vieira also pushed George hard, looking ready to do it.
However, before George and Vieira could make a move, Ljungberg, who had just been pushed by George, got up from the ground at this time and rushed towards George like a madman.
For Ljungberg's attack, George had already prepared, don't look at George has been living in the barracks for many years at this time, but he has been used to it for more than ten years in his last life, how can he say that he will change, and he should say that he should be.
As early as when Ljungberg rushed over, George was ready, his body was slightly sideways, flashing Ljungberg's fist, and George was not polite, his right foot quickly went up into the air, just on Ljungberg's stomach.
With a simple sudden, Ljungberg suddenly held his stomach in his hands and fell to the ground with a painful face. You must know that the abdomen is a weak part of the human body, and it is difficult for Ljungberg not to lie down if he is pushed so hard by George's animal.
With George and Ljungberg making such a move, the contradictions between the two sides suddenly appeared on the surface, and the players on both sides immediately began to interact with each other, of course, the craziest fight was naturally Vieira, the fierce guy, and the most fun to play was George.
You must know that a soldier has a strong sense of offense in his body, but after resuming, George really rarely fights. But this time is different, in the face of crazy Arsenal players, George naturally will not stand there stupidly and let the other party play, no matter how you say it, you have to fight back to protect yourself.
But this self-preservation has gone too far, uh~ kicked Vieira on the calf, the painful Vieira tears were about to fall, flashed Campbell's fist, and punched Lauren in the face who was entangled with Cowell.
Don't look at more than 20 people fighting around, the scene is very chaotic, but our George fully wields his talent for fighting, constantly in the chaotic crowd, left and right, constantly giving this punch and that kick.
The group riot of the players of the two teams, how can the referee and the head coach calm down the riot of both sides in this case, the referee does not rush over and is beaten by the players of the two teams, and the head coach can suppress the players on the bench, which is a great credit.
In this case, the riot police immediately rushed into the stadium and forced the players of both sides to separate, and at this time, the referee finally had a chance to show his face, Cole, who fouled, Vieira and George, and Ljungberg, each yellow card was sent off. Not only that, but the referee also showed a yellow card to the more emotional Heskey, Gerrard, Alonso, Lauren, Campbell, and Toure one by one.
Since the start of the game, the referee has shown a total of 10 yellow cards and 4 red cards, which shows how hot the atmosphere of this game is. Such a crazy card, ten yellows and four reds, has created a record of the most cards in a football game, the most severe and the craziest.
