Chapter 224: Liverpool's Luck

It's not just Arteta who thinks so, after watching Arsenal's game, many people think that Arsenal is unlikely to win at home against Liverpool.

Although Liverpool's record is only third in the Premier League, they are not short of key players in their squad.

March 14,

Premier League round 28.

Bukayo Saka has yet to recover from his injury and rushed to the Emirates Stadium to watch the game.

And he's also in the Arsenal dressing room, and although he didn't make it to the starting line-up, he still wants to play alongside his team-mates.

After Song Yao saw Saka come to the locker room, he couldn't help but smile helplessly and said, "Your kid hasn't recovered from his injury, and he came out to hang out again!"

Saka said with a smile: "The doctor said that I can't play for the time being, but it's okay to come out and take a walk. And today's game is against Liverpool, and I can't sit still at home. ”

Song Yao nodded, "Okay, as long as you don't have a recurrence of the injury." ”

Saka couldn't help but ask: "Captain, do you think we can beat Liverpool today?"

"That's definitely possible." Song Yao said, "Liverpool this season is not so good, and besides, we are still at home today, we will definitely not lose!" ”

With the captain's words, Saka felt a lot more stable.

Similarly, Liverpool are also preparing for the game in the dressing room.

At the beginning of the game,

Both teams didn't pull the stance, and they did it directly.

Instead, he maintained a certain degree of grabbing, and after seeing that the opponent did not make a mistake, he slowly shrunk the formation.

Liverpool, for their part, are also facing a two-front battle, and the physical aspect is certainly not so sufficient.

As both teams try to attack,

In the exchange of possession,

Minutes and seconds passed.

Until the 13th minute of the game,

Equation broke through on the left flank and, when the opportunity came, he decisively delivered a pinpoint cross.

However, there was a lack of teammates in front of the goal, and after the football crossed a graceful arc,

Directly held firmly by goalkeeper Alisson.

It was only then that Nketiah stepped forward into the box and his face showed some regret as he missed the chance to head home.

Nketiah had no choice but to give a round of applause to the captain who delivered the pass.

The equation doesn't blame the teammates for anything,

After all, Nketiah's worth is only 20 million euros, and he can't ask for it with the highest standards.

However, as the game progresses,

Liverpool are gradually showing their attacking form.

In the 27th minute, they launched a wave of fierce attacks in front of the Arsenal penalty area.

Sadio Mane picked up the ball on the left side of the penalty area, took aim and hit it with his feet.

However, the Arsenal defenders were like a wall of ironclad to keep Mane's shot at bay.

The soccer ball was blocked by the ground,

Liverpool's formation did not fall back.

They fought back on the spot, looking for a breakthrough.

In the 38th minute, the opportunity came again.

Henderson cleverly splits the ball in the middle,

Wynaldum received the ball and sent the ball to the edge of the box with a clever pick-and-roll pass.

At this time, Firmino was like a cheetah, without stopping the ball and pushing the far corner.

The soccer ball flew straight into the corner of the goal.

Goalkeeper Leno couldn't react and could only watch the ball go into the net.

Liverpool took the lead and took a one-goal lead.

Seeing Liverpool's men celebrating the attack on the sidelines, Arsenal fans immediately countered with boos.

Seeing this scene, the equation felt that the fans did not need to do this.

Although the game requires competition and passion, conceding only one goal and starting to target the away team can seem as if the home team is petty and can't afford to concede a goal.

The game is not over yet, and the equation thinks they will have plenty of chances to equalize and even overtake!

However, Liverpool's morale was boosted after the goal and they continued to step up their attack.

Just a few minutes later, Wijnaldum again delivered a dangerous cross down the left.

This time, Roberto Firmino leaped high into the six-yard box and headed home.

The football is like a stream of fireflies, cutting across the sky and falling straight into the corner of the goal.

Goalkeeper Leno struggled to make a save, but was unable to stop the ball from going into the net.

After all, football is a dead end that falls into the goal!

Liverpool extended their lead with two goals.

The home fans were stunned at this point, they didn't expect them to concede a second goal so soon.

Are they going to suffer a heavy defeat at home?

Including the equation fell into silence for a short time, and seeing that his teammates were full of surprise, he quickly clapped his palms and shouted loudly to wake up his teammates.

"It's not over yet! Hurry up and run!! ”

It came at a timely time, and soon the whole Arsenal team was back in the game.

Everybody is a professional player, and it's not like they haven't played this game when they're behind.

In fact, including Liverpool's manager Jurgen Klopp, after seeing the second goal, experienced a brief moment of surprise, and then raised his arms and shouted,

I really didn't expect them to take a two-goal lead so quickly.

This made the rest of their game time easier.

After all, in the next game, Liverpool will also play the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 knockout round.

Therefore, Liverpool's formation quickly recovered, choosing to defend and counterattack, and waiting for Arsenal to appear in their own defensive holes.

In this regard, Arsenal can only attack in an all-out way and try to equalize as soon as possible.

Fortunately, there were no mistakes in their next passes, and they once surrounded Liverpool's penalty area.

Near the end of the first half, Liverpool Mane had a chance to counter-attack.

However, Saliba's recovery was also very fast, with a tackle behind him, and he accurately recaptured the ball at Mane's feet

The audience immediately burst into loud applause.

In the stands of the stadium,

Two of Arsenal's injured players are anxious to watch the game.

'It's over, we didn't pull a goal back in the first half, and we almost let Sadio Mane play a quick counter-attack at the end, what should we do with the score?"

Martinelli couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Saka still watched the game on the pitch and analyzed it seriously: "Don't worry, don't you see that Mane's speed is not so fast? They were all caught up by Saliba just now, which shows that Liverpool's physical fitness is not very good. We still have a chance to score! ”

When Martinelli thought about it, it seemed that it was still like what Saka said, and he couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that if we had recovered from injury today, we would never have let Liverpool play so easily."

Saka was noncommittal and said: "Don't worry, the captain said that we can win this game, and the second half is the time to decide."

And the charm of the football game is that

As long as it's not over, it's always full of uncertainty.

Second

The two teams changed sides and fought again,

From the start, Arsenal launched a quick attack.

In the 50th minute, after Liverpool lost in the midfield battle, the football fell to Thomas.

In the face of Henderson's grab, Thomas used a nimble dodge move,

A good dribble at his feet is Thomas's advantage in midfield.

Randomly, he made a pass to the nearest Xhaka.

Xhaka's movement was very alert, and there was a brief period of unmarkedness.

Without stopping the ball, Xhaka played a flying kick and passed the ball to the inserted equation.

After receiving the ball, he cut into the penalty area like a snake, and suddenly kicked a shot in front of Liverpool's defense.

The ball flew over the turf of the penalty area in an instant and drilled into the bottom left corner of the goal!

The entire Emirates Stadium boiled in an instant,

Countless fans are celebrating wildly.

Arsenal chased the score on the field to 1-2,

The suspense of the game is back!

In the midst of a loud cheer, the managers of the two teams immediately showed different expressions.

Mikel Arteta, on the other hand, was full of perks and directed his players to continue the attack.

The game is not over yet, and the offense cannot be stopped!

Just a minute later,

Without even reacting, the football had already flown into the goal!

Arsenal quickly chased the score to 2-2!

At this time, the game quickly entered a white-hot stage, and the two sides went back and forth and did not give in to each other.

Liverpool realized that their strategic choice had gone wrong,

Choosing to defend and counterattack, they only did it defensively, but they didn't counterattack.

Arsenal seized the opportunity directly and equalized.

Arsenal saw an opportunity to win,

In the 73rd minute, Salah broke through to the bottom line on the right flank and sent a cross.

However, there was no one in front of the door,

Liverpool missed a great chance to open the scoring.

Two minutes later, Mane had a chance on the left side of the box.

The moment no one was marked, he got up and shot low.

However, the ball went just wide of the goal.

Mane put his head in his hands in annoyance,

I didn't grasp this great opportunity.

Arsenal were unfazed by Liverpool's attack, with the random equation breaking down the flank to create a corner.

Equation takes a corner kick, in the penalty area, the two sides grab points,

Saliba flicks his head at goal.

However, goalkeeper Alisson struggled to knock the football off the bottom line and defuse the crisis.

However, Arsenal did not immediately shrink their defense, and still maintained the upper tackle.

This led to Liverpool having to kick the ball up front,

Gabriel topped the football in the confrontation with Firmino,

He went straight to the Liverpool half again.

Xhaka unloaded the ball and immediately found the equation on the right.

That's right, at this time, the equation and Nelson took the initiative to switch positions.

This substitution made Liverpool's defense unexpected,

In the 81st minute, Equation broke through with the ball on the right flank and sent a precise inverted triangle pass.

At this moment, the audience immediately celebrated wildly, which was already seeing the victory.

They completed the stunner against Liverpool!

Liverpool briefly fell into shock,

But soon, they went on the offensive again,

Liverpool didn't give up on the game!

Jurgen Klopp hurriedly adjusted his tactics and personnel in an attempt to salvage the situation.

In the 96th minute of the game, Liverpool Salah had a great opportunity to cut inside.

However, in the face of Arsenal's three-man encirclement, he failed to grasp this opportunity, and his shot was weak and weak, and he was easily held in the arms of goalkeeper Leno.

Liverpool missed a last-ditch equaliser.

With a whistle,

Arsenal won 3-2 against Liverpool,

Won a game with ups and downs,

The home fans immediately burst into applause and cheers.

In the midst of the boiling sound, Martinelli in the stands suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and also gave applause to the field.

Bukayo Saka was also relieved, saying: "It's not easy, playing a game against Liverpool feels like playing a final."

Martinelli nodded with deep understanding, "Fortunately, the captain is here, and the captain is the MVP of the whole game today, otherwise this game will really be lost." ”

Saka suddenly took a rainy day and said: "Although we won today, but the next Champions League game is going to be Dortmund, I don't know if today's large consumption will affect us."

Saka didn't say that it was okay, but as soon as he finished speaking, Martinelli immediately became worried.

"It's true that there is a problem, I heard that Dortmund is still the home of the Devils, it would be nice if we could come back smoothly in the next game, just sitting in the stands and feeling tortured."

Interview after the game,

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp expressed some discomfort with the game.

Because they were two goals ahead of Arsenal and were scored twice in a row, and finally completed the stunner.

Klopp also praised the equation for the first time, admitting that the team still didn't defend the equation well.

The final lore ball was because of the transposition of the equation, so that their defense line did not react.

Waiting for the next game against Arsenal, Klopp thought that he had to let Liverpool's backline do a good job of defending in this area.
