Chapter 43: The Cover Door Has Been Found
"Liverpool!! Liverpool!! Pretty!! Suarez's ghostly dribbles and goals!! He helped Liverpool equalise!! ”
"It's so beautiful!! Liverpool conceded a goal in the opening fifteen minutes and two minutes later they equalised!! Goal from Suarez!! Wow. His manoeuvres at the edge of the penalty area are simply dizzying! ”
The TV announcer was chanting.
Liverpool's commentator was even more excited.
He stood up in the commentary seat, holding his headset, the veins in his neck bulging, his face flushed, and he shouted in a thick Liverpool accent: "Well done!" Well done!! We are Liverpool!! We are Liverpool!! We will never throw in the towel! ”
"In the seventeenth minute of the first half, Liverpool equalized thanks to Suarez's goal! With almost complete passivity away from home, Liverpool played a sharp counter-attack!! It was Suarez's sixteenth league goal of the season! He was nine goals away from Yelo! But he has already caught up with Van Persie! Tied with Robin van Persie for second place in the league scorers' list! ”
'It was a goal that showed Suarez's quality as he ran down the middle, pressed forward first, and then he suddenly dropped back to receive the ball, faked a real shot, went through the crotch past Koscielny who had fallen up, and sent the ball into the back of the net before Mertesacker could make up for it.
The commentators cheered Suarez's goal.
However, this goal is indeed very exciting, it is a wonderful reflection of Suarez's personal ability, running, passing, shooting, all are quite perfect.
The Liverpool fans cheered as they travelled to the stadium, while the home fans fell silent for a moment.
'Liverpool showed their resilience after conceding a goal and they proved that it was not luck that they were able to win five in a row in the last five league games!
The camera shows Rodgers on the sidelines.
The manager who quickly pinched together the Liverpool team and made full use of Liverpool's existing resources to integrate the team and rebuild Liverpool into a competitive team must have a job to do.
As a matter of fact.
Historically.
In Brendan Rodgers' second season at Liverpool.
That is, in the 2013-2014 season, when Liverpool came close to winning their first Premier League trophy of their dreams.
It's really just a little bit – as long as Gerrard doesn't slip.
Sometimes you have to admit that in the world of football. Metaphysics is something that I would rather believe in.
For example, Gerald.
In every sense of the word, he is arguably one of the greatest captains in Liverpool's history.
Not even one of them.
He led Liverpool to lift the Champions League trophy.
But on the contrary.
He has come close to winning the Premier League on a couple of occasions.
Especially the last one. It was because of his mistake that the team lost the championship at the last moment.
Time also, life also.
In fact, Arsenal performed very well in this game.
They opened the scoring and in the fifteenth minute Yelo went straight to Cazorla at the edge of the box, who slotted home from the edge of the six-yard box.
And fifteen minutes before the start of the game, Arsenal also firmly grasped the initiative.
However, it was in the 17th minute of the game that Liverpool played their only counter-attack so far.
The goal was scored.
Suarez's ability to take chances and his ghostly movement at the edge of the box proved that he is a player with superstar qualities.
Rodgers on the sidelines was excited.
He clenched his fists and raised his arms and shouted.
He told his players before the game not to be afraid of conceding goals.
Because their counter-attack is not something that Arsenal can stand.
Suarez, Sturridge, Sterling three players formed a trident counter-attacking system, Sturridge and Sterling are fast enough, and Suarez's ability to take chances is good enough.
At the back, Liverpool's three midfielders actually have a certain ability to pass the ball, especially Steven Gerrard.
Also noteworthy is the performance of the veteran Carragher.
This time Liverpool's counterattack came from Carragher, who predicted Cazorla's attempt to find Yelo, ran in advance, appeared on the line, and handed the ball to Gerrard after completing the break, and then Gerrard pulled the counterattack.
It was all a tactical victory for Liverpool.
Shrink back and hit Arsenal on the counter-attack.
This trick, okay!
Wenger frowned slightly.
It's always frustrating to be equalised after scoring first, but what makes Wenger feel a little tricky is Liverpool's system.
"I didn't expect that. Rogers actually used Carragher to life! ”
Arsene Wenger turned to his assistant.
Blake's face was also a little solemn.
'They are very complementary defensively, Carragher is not good in terms of physicality and confrontation, but he has a lot of experience! He's kind of like"
"Drag the central defenders!" Arsene Wenger added.
"Yes, it's a central defender!" Blake took a deep breath.
Now that Liverpool are fully recovering and not considering offside, Carragher's position will not have much of an impact.
The point is.
Liverpool have done a good job of playing to their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses, allowing the likes of Skrtel, who is more physical, Henderson, who has more physical fitness, and Lucas, who has more coverage, to charge forward.
Carragher, on the other hand, uses his experience to fill in the gaps and anticipate his opponent's choices.
For example, Cazorla's straight plug was predicted by him.
Such a system does make Liverpool more resilient and resilient in the face of Arsenal's attack, and it also makes Arsenal's attacking threat a lot less.
Ye Luo was surprised.
He didn't expect Carragher, an old guy who didn't seem to have much oil, to play such a role.
He tried to catch the ball several times, only to find Carragher standing on the key line.
A couple of times I wanted to pass the ball, and it was this guy who appeared on the key line.
From this point of view.
Experience is really crucial for a footballer.
If Carragher's fitness and play-to-face ability are maintained at their peak, and he has that kind of game experience, he can be considered a top-class centre-back.
Ye Luo withdrew his gaze.
"What are you looking at, Ye?"
Giroud on the side couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I remembered a sentence"
"What?"
"Don't underestimate any scarred veterans."
A big question mark crossed Giroud's mind.
Who said that? Is there any provenance? ”
When Ye Luo heard Giroud ask this, he had to think about it seriously.
Then he shook his head and said, "I don't know, I always feel like I've heard this sentence somewhere."
Then he suddenly laughed: "If there is no source, then it is my famous quote."
"Where is there a saying that what you say is famous?" Cazorla pouted and complained not far away.
"In fact, as a captain, I do have the qualifications to say famous words." Ramsey said on the other side.
"Your path is wide, young man."
Ye Luo nodded at Cazorla with satisfaction.
Everyone laughed.
The TV footage doesn't give this picture.
But the Liverpool players have certainly seen it.
Skrtel was upset.
"Why are they smiling so happily, it's us who scored!"
He said to his partner Carragher.
In the first meeting of the season, Skrtel can be regarded as a master of Yelo's strength, and he is crushed in almost every way.
But he felt much better in this game.
The job he has to do is relatively simple, which is to use his body to cause some problems for Arsenal's attacking players, and as for the rest, Carragher behind him will do it.
This made Skrtel's performance even better.
After all, you don't have to think too much.
"Because they don't feel like we're too much of a threat to them, we're obviously underestimated." Carragher said.
"Damn," Skrtel was furious as soon as he heard that his opponent dared to underestimate him.
But Carragher smiled and said, "I don't think it's a bad thing. Because whether they underestimate us or not, what we have to do is defend, and if they are relatively less sharp on the offensive end because of their mentality, wouldn't that be a good thing for us as well? ”
"That's right."
Skrtel was stunned.
He then showed a smile: "In other words, we are pretending to be pigs and eating tigers"
"Ugh"
Carragher was speechless.
Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is usually about having the ability to actually eat a tiger, but if the person on the other side is really a tiger and you are really a pig.
That's not really pretty.
However, Carragher did not dampen his partner's confidence.
"In any case, we have to keep one thing in mind: stand in key positions, defend well, and counterattack!"
Carragher emphasized.
After the restart.
The pace of the game was still not much different from before.
Arsenal got more possession.
Liverpool, on the other hand, retreated.
Yelo turned after winning the ball at the edge of the box and was faced with a dense defensive system.
He was concerned about Carragher's position.
The guy backed back.
"Drag the central defenders?"
Ye Luo muttered, passed the ball horizontally, and then continued to run and observe.
A few minutes later, the ball reached the feet of the centre-back Koscielny.
Arsenal's trial in this round was in vain.
But Yelo has also discovered that Liverpool has achieved good results in letting Carragher lag behind, he can always make up for some possible holes in the defensive line, and at the same time he drags at the back, and he also deliberately avoids physical confrontation with Yelo, Giroud and others.
Maximize your strengths and avoid your weaknesses.
Arsene Wenger sat in the dugout on the sidelines and was already thinking about the second half.
And right now.
He spotted Yelo taking the ball and distributing it to the wing and then made a gesture.
It was a gesture through a wide cross.
Arsene Wenger's eyes lit up.
Ye Luo's thoughts coincided with him.
He simply cocked Erlang's legs.
Originally, it was thought that it would not be until the second half to make specific adjustments, but now Yelo, as the commander of Arsenal on the pitch, has taken the initiative to make changes.
I saw Ye Luo suddenly rush into the forbidden area and take the initiative to approach Carragher.
Didn't you hide from me?
What would you do if I played the card "Go deep into the box to grab points"?
Sagna received the ball and then came in with a cross.
It's the area where Carragher is guarded.
Skrtel came over to assist in the defense.
But when Yelo jumped high, both Skrtel and Carragher were a little desperate.
They watched as Yelo headed the ball towards the goal.
Reyna made a save at the crucial moment to save Liverpool.
But even so.
Brendan Rodgers and quite a few Liverpool players on the pitch are aware of it.
Yelo has found the cover door for Liverpool's defence
