Chapter 136: Against Arsenal (5)

The fifteen-minute half-time break passed quickly, and at this point, the fighters from both sides returned to Highbury Stadium to start the second half of the game.

It seems that Wenger's saliva at halftime was really effective, and the second half of the game had just begun, and with tens of thousands of fans cheering on, Arsenal began to besiege the Liverpool players. All of a sudden, the format of the pitch seemed to have returned to the way it was towards the end of the first half, with Arsenal playing around Liverpool.

However, Liverpool also knew that in the second half of the game, Arsenal would attack like crazy. Therefore, for Arsenal's crazy attack, Liverpool was not caught off guard by the opponent, but just calmly defended, stabilized their backline, and did not give Arsenal a chance.

Liverpool's strategy is to play defensive counter-attacks in the first 20 minutes of the second half, so there are still Arsenal to attack. If it weren't for the defensive counter-attack, then Arsenal would not be able to press Liverpool as soon as they came up.

"There's a problem, there's definitely a problem." Watching Arsenal instantly press Liverpool to play, although the situation on the field looks very favorable for Arsenal, the more Wenger looks at it like this, the more he feels that there is a problem.

Although for themselves, for their own so. The team is confident, but Arsene Wenger is not so arrogant as to think Liverpool are vulnerable to Arsenal.

No matter how weak Liverpool is, it's definitely not one. It is precisely because of this that Arsenal seems to have mastered the situation on the pitch smoothly and began to lay siege to Liverpool's goal, the more Wenger feels that there is a problem.

Damn, it doesn't matter, what are you doing so much, anyway, now you're pressing Liverpool on your side, and what do you want to do so much. After thinking about it and still not figuring out what conspiracy Liverpool were preparing, Wenger suddenly gave up his guess.

But Wenger is not stupid, seeing such a familiar scene, Wenger also endures. kept coming to the sidelines, waving his big hand, while signaling the players to press on it vigorously, he also signaled the players to pay attention to defense.

Arsene Wenger doesn't want his disciple to make the mistake of the first half again, and if Arsenal are planted in Liverpool's defensive counter-attacks twice in a row, then this is undoubtedly a slap in the face to Wenger's coaching level.

"Damn, Liverpool isn't an English team, how did it become in an instant. The Italian team, this defense is really fucking good. Pire ran fast on the sideline with the ball, while feeling the constant interference and grabbing of the ball by Liser on the side, and kept thinking about it.

Arsenal have been right. Liverpool's goal was besieged for more than ten minutes, but there were no good chances. At this time, Liverpool seems to have suddenly become AC Milan, and it is really a headache to defend.

"I can't care so much, anyway, we still need to attack, after all, the ball is already one goal behind Liverpool." Thinking of this, Piret suddenly added again, and when he was almost about to break out of the bottom line, he suddenly settled.

As if he had known that Pire would do this, Reese stopped at about the same time, and stopped in front of Pire, not giving Pire a chance to cross.

Reese did block Pire's cross, but he only saw Pire's death and not anyone else.

Seeing Riser standing in front of him with a serious face, Pire immediately laughed, and then with a surprised expression, Riser passed the ball to the side.

"Pire passed, Toure, Toure cut in quickly, didn't stop the ball and crossed with his feet." It turned out that as early as between the stoppages, Pire's Toure had already begun to step forward, so when Reese stopped in front of him, Pire did not choose the usual individual breakthrough, but chose a more secure pass.

Toure received a pass from Pire, and immediately passed the ball towards the Liverpool penalty area.

"Get out of here!" Hyypia yelled, and in Henry's helpless eyes, he grabbed the first point directly, pushed the ball out of the penalty area, and the header was ferried to the retreating Gerrard.

For Henry, although he has height, the header is indeed Henry's weakness. In front of Hyypia, he was unable to grab this, and Henry could not say anything.

"Hi ~ Steve!" Steven Gerrard received the ball from Hyypia and turned and headed towards the Arsenal penalty area. At this time, Vieira appeared in front of Gerrard for the first time, blocking Gerrard's way forward.

At that moment, Cowell's voice rang out from the side. Gerrard then only saw Colwill rush from his side towards the Arsenal penalty area. Seeing this, Gerrard did not hesitate and passed the ball directly to Colwill.

After receiving Gerrard's pass, Colwill continued to run with the ball for a distance of about 20 meters, and when Silva was about to get close to him, he immediately passed the ball to the right side of the field. Because on the right side of the court, Owen was already ready.

"Owen has the ball, he's moving fast, Arsenal need to pay attention! Uh~ Cole, at this time Cole had already rushed up, looking at Cole's serious expression and resolute eyes, it could be seen that Cole would never allow Owen to be arrogant on his own turf. ”

Owen, who was high on the ball, couldn't help but laugh when he saw Kerr rushing towards him quickly.

As the main players of the England national team, the two sides are more or less familiar and understanding. Owen knows very well that Cole is indeed a genius in offense, and although he is not weak in defense, he is definitely not at the top level in the world.

Even in the face of the world's top defenders, Irving will not be afraid at all, let alone Cole, a pseudo-defender in his eyes.

Uh~ I have to say that not only Owen, but even many members of the England national team, all believe that Cole's most suitable position should be a central midfielder or a full-back, rather than a so-called full-back. Therefore, in the England national team, Ashley. Cole was also called a pseudo-defender.

Thinking of this, Owen did not decrease at all, on the contrary, it was faster, Owen had decided to go it alone, directly break through Cole, and not give the other party any chance.

Watching the faster Owen rush towards him, this scene is not very new to Cole, and in the team's training, Henry sometimes gives Cole this feeling. And this feeling, as well as Henry's repeated reactions, directly told Cole that this was a precursor to the other party's preparation for a breakthrough.

Thinking of this, Cole subconsciously slowed down and prepared to intercept it.

However, if Owen can stop Cole, then Owen will not become Liverpool's golden boy, let alone reach the ranks of the world's top strikers today.

Owen didn't give Cole any chance, and directly relied on the degree, with a simple and quick change of direction, and rushed directly from Cole's side. As for Cole, he barely reacted when Owen rushed over, and it was only after a second that Cole felt the breeze brought by Owen rushing over.

"Thor, go up and stop him!" Seeing Owen break through Kerr's defense and quickly approach the penalty area, Lehmann couldn't help but get anxious and reminded Campbell loudly.

This damn pseudo-defender, he can't even lower the other party's degree, damn it, are you still a defender.

Hearing Lyman's words, Campbell couldn't help but think depressedly, and at the same time quickly rushed towards Owen.

I have to say that for Kerr's defense, Campbell has gone from initial shock, anger, and helplessness to the current numbness. If it weren't for the fact that in the Arsenal team, Cole and himself are both native to England, otherwise, Campbell would have scolded for being dissatisfied with Cole's defense.

In short, Campbell is used to Kerr's defense at this time, accustomed to Kerr's kind of breakthrough that often can't stop the opponent, and needs to rely on himself to deploy defense.

Not to mention, either because Kerr often stepped forward to assist, leaving holes behind him, or because Kerr was often broken by others, Campbell was used to deploying. No, at the moment of Lyman's reminder, Campbell rushed towards Owen quickly, Campbell did not rush blindly, but rushed forward very purposefully.

While approaching Owen, Campbell also paid attention to the position of Sigan and George on the side, in short, as much as possible to ensure that Liverpool did not give any chance.

Seeing Campbell rushing towards him, Irving knew that in terms of defense, Kerr and Campbell were obviously two different levels. Therefore, Owen did not blindly choose to break through this time, but directly chose to pass the ball to George at the top of the penalty area.

"I want to fight two over one!" At the top of Arsenal's penalty area, while defending George, Sigan also saw Owen pass the ball to George, and immediately continued to rush towards Arsenal's penalty area. Years of experience directly told Sigan that Owen was going to play a one-two with George.

After thinking about it for a while, Sigan is definitely definitely Campbell may not be able to catch up with Owen's degree, so as to block the opponent's two-one. Thinking of this, Sigan understood that George would never be able to pass the ball to Owen again.

But now the situation on the field is that Owen has broken through Campbell and rushed towards the penalty area. Although Campbell struggled to catch up, the distance between the two grew farther and farther apart.

In this case, as long as George is not a fool, he will choose to pass. If the ball does come to Owen's feet, almost forming a single Owen, the nine-layer may send the ball into his own door.

Thinking of this, Sigan couldn't help but be shocked, seeing that George had already begun to turn sideways and prepare to pass, thinking of this, Sigan couldn't help but be surprised, and his right hand suddenly forced, almost in a very savage way, directly pushed George to the ground. At this time, the referee's whistle also sounded immediately.

At the moment of Owen's pass, George was still competing with Sigan at the top of the Arsenal penalty area, when he received Owen's pass and saw that Owen had entered the penalty area, George knew that this was a great opportunity, and was about to pass the ball, but he felt that Sigan suddenly had strength and pushed himself to the ground.

"Damn, Frenchman, what the hell do you want to do!" Rising from the ground, George stared at Sigan with an angry expression on his face and roared. A pair of murderous eyes seemed to tell everyone that if Sigan dared to be arrogant or talk back, he would definitely do it and teach Sigan a hard lesson.

You must know that after George became the captain of Liverpool, there have been few scenes of such excitement and anger. As a captain, George became more mature.

But this time it was different, if they hadn't been pushed down by Sigan and had returned the ball to Owen again, then Liverpool would definitely have scored another goal to lead Arsenal by two goals.

If they can really lead Arsenal by two goals, it will undoubtedly be the best news for Liverpool. Because of the two-goal lead, it is almost guaranteed that Liverpool can successfully win this crucial game.

Knowing that he had indeed gone too far this time and had wasted a precious scoring opportunity for Liverpool, Sigan didn't say anything in the face of George's roar, turned and walked towards the penalty area, ready to defend.

I may feel guilty, but the most important thing is that Sigan is absolute, and he is still sure that if he really fights with George, he will be able to beat George.

If you win, forget it, if you can't win, your face will not be lost in front of tens of thousands of Arsenal fans. It is for this reason that Sigan remained silent. Otherwise, no matter what Sigan thinks in his heart, at least he will glare at George angrily and roar back.

It is precisely because Siegan knows that if he really dares to say anything, then George will definitely dare to do it. Although George behaved very honestly during this time, Sigan knew that the guy who could be as famous as Keane and Vieira was a violent factor in his heart, but he was temporarily controlled and suppressed.

"Don't make trouble, don't want to play yet!" At this moment, the referee ran over in time, stopped between Sigan and George, looked at George seriously and said.

"You see, sir, it's a malicious foul, otherwise I pass the ball and we can definitely score." Seeing the referee appear, George also knew that now he had no way to teach Sigan a lesson, after all, no matter how arrogant George was, he didn't dare to kill Sigan in front of the referee, after all, everyone didn't have any deep hatred.

Although he gave up the idea of killing Sigan, George didn't intend to forget it like that, anyway, Sigan was also a malicious foul this time, and the red card was not for the country. Therefore, George deliberately said this to put pressure on the referee.

"I don't want to make trouble, I just want to be treated fairly, sir, that kind of foul just now, and it's not a shame to send that Frenchman off the game with a red card." George continued to stare at the referee, constantly putting pressure on the referee.

"Shit, what kind of malicious foul is this!" Just as the referee was about to pull out the cards, Vieira arrived in time and immediately roared.

"Besides, this is Highbury and not your Anfield, and Lady Luck is on our Arsenal side. Even if you pass the ball and Owen shoots it alone, it won't necessarily score, we still have Lehmann. ”

Although Vieira's words were arguing with George, he was actually secretly telling the referee that this is not Anfield Stadium, but Highbury Stadium, our home stadium of Arsenal, and you have to see this situation to some extent, you must know that there are tens of thousands of our fans watching here, and if you don't handle it well, I'm afraid it will lead to big problems.

Or maybe the Arsenal fans also know that Vieira and the team need their own help at the moment, so the boos rang out all over the sky, while disdainful of George, and then put pressure on the referee.

"!" Hearing Vieira's words, coupled with the boos in the sky, when George saw the referee's expression, he knew that Sigan was now at most a yellow card, and as for the red card, it was almost impossible.

Thinking of this, George couldn't help but curse secretly. couldn't help but look at Vieira carefully, George couldn't have imagined that Vieira, who gave people such a fiery temper, also had such cunning and shrewdness.

Sure enough, after hearing Vieira's words and the boos of tens of thousands of Arsenal fans at the scene, the referee's original idea of directly sending Sigan off the field suddenly disappeared, and in the end he only took out the yellow card from his pocket and gave it to Sigan.

Although the referee was not sent off, the Arsenal fans were still unhappy with their player's yellow card and continued to boo.

In any case, the referee's final decision has come out, and now even if George is dissatisfied, the referee will not change his decision. If George continues to make trouble, I am afraid that the referee will be dissatisfied with George, and the next game may have an opinion on Liverpool because of the referee's personal dissatisfaction with George, and then it will be a big trouble for Liverpool.

George was well aware of this, so he didn't say anything after seeing the referee show him a yellow card for Sigan, although George was very unhappy that Sigan only received a yellow card.

Liverpool were in an excellent position to open the scoring from the top of the Arsenal penalty area, slightly to the left, about 24 metres from goal, a position and distance that would definitely be the favourite of any free-kick specialist.

George put the ball away himself, and at the same time refused to let the other teammates come, as if he wanted to take the penalty himself.

At Lehmann's roar, Arsenal's human wall was instantly set up, and Lehmann was ready to make a save.

As the referee's whistle blew, George stepped back two or three meters, and suddenly added, kicking the bottom of the ball with his right foot, and the ball drew a beautiful arc in the air, flying towards the upper left corner of the goal.

You must know that although George has now become a world-famous star, he has also entered the ranks of killers. But Keegan's original teachings George never forget.

George also knows that in the cruel competition of football, the more skills he has, the higher his value will be. As a result, George has never forgotten to practise free-kicks, although he is already a good and versatile striker.

Because George believes, as Keegan said at the beginning, even Maradona, when facing the iron bucket formation, may not be able to score in the sports battle, because the free kick is the best chance.

The ball flew towards the top left corner of the goal, and at this time Lehmann also made a save, yelled, and pounced sideways towards the ball in the air.
