Section 585 The position at the top of the list
(Cat Flutter Chinese) The difficulty of Arsenal's team is that it is not okay to ignore their attack a little bit The average championship team first sets up a suitable back line, and then considers the offensive line. I'd rather be a little weaker on the offensive end than have problems on the defensive end. Chelsea have a back line that has conceded less than 20 goals a season, but they still have to buy Del Horno, Essien, and Ashley Cole, and continue to strengthen their defence. Liverpool's reinforcement in the summer is also to consider the addition of goalkeepers, defenders, and midfielders, and the strengthening of the forward line, and would rather use cheap veterans to support them first. Manchester United, on the other hand, have found the right goalkeeper and have begun to make big adjustments, buying people at the back and betting on the future in the forward line in order to develop - the specific tactical aspects may be different, but in the general direction, they are all the same.
A team, without the strength of the striker, is likely not to win the game, but at least it can get a point. But without the strength of the back line, it is very likely that you will lose the game directly and not get a single point. For a team aiming to win the league title, consistency is more important than everything, no striker can guarantee that every game will score, but a good backline can guarantee that it will not concede. This is also why, the veterans of the giant team are often the people on the defensive line, because they are the guarantee of the team's experience and stability, and the team needs them to leave their experience and stability. The defenders stay in the team and give the team experience and confidence, which is very important.
But now Arsenal is thinking backwards. Other teams rely on the stability of the back line to gradually innovate the front court, but they use the excellence of the forward line to improve the experience of the defense. In their backline, they innovated very quickly, even a little incredibly. Cesc Fabregas threw away Vieira when he got ahead, and Senderos played directly into the main team this season after Campbell's serious injury, which is surprisingly fast. As soon as Eboue played a little bit of it, they immediately sold Lauren, and now, the rumors of Ashley Cole's transfer are also rampant, and their degree is really incomparable to ordinary people.
You know, Liverpool's Vidic has been very good this season, but it is still criticized by many people for using it too often, and it should be better to let the more experienced Hyypia come. However, Arsenal used a younger defender Senderos, and, after selling Lauren, they replaced Eboue at right-back, and after left-back Ashley Cole was injured, they could only use Flamini as a cameo, and only one of the most junior main players in the backline, Kolo Toure, was left behind, and in front of him, there was still an 87-year-old child Cesc Fabregas as protection.
Such a lineup can still maintain its competitiveness in the Champions League, relying on the biggest reason why these newcomers have spent 12% of their energy in order to compete for honor, which is this offensive line.
Although their attacking line is also suffering from various injury problems now, at least, they still have the character of Henry, and they will not fail easily.
Less than ten minutes into the game, Thierry Henry scored the first goal for Arsenal.
It was a typical Arsenal attack – Pire, who had cut in on the left, played a cross with Thierry Henry, who had been pulled down the left, and with the help of Pire, Henry shook McCone and slid into the edge of the box.
Intercepting in front of him was Vidic, in the last game, Henry was recovering from a major injury, swinging generally, without too much eye-catching performance, which made Vidic also have a great boost in confidence, at this time, although it was already one-on-one, but he was still confident that he wanted to stop Henry.
However, Henry gently got up to his feet, pulled the ball, and then, with one kick, rushed straight towards Vidic!
Vidic was the first to reach out to block it, but he was always a step too slow, he wanted to reach out to catch him, but when he reached out, Henry had already stepped into the penalty area with one foot. Vidic didn't dare to take too much risk to pull his clothes, but this hesitation was already forced by Henry, and in the face of the saved Reina, Henry directly went forward, a trademark push into the far corner, directly broke the door of Liverpool!
"Nemanja Vidic's defensive mistakes! Thierry Henry scores! ”
Henry waved his arms and celebrated with his teammates. It was his eighteenth goal of the season, and with that goal, he moved back to the top of the scorer charts to tie Ruud van Nistelrooy. And more importantly, with this goal, Arsenal led Liverpool on their home turf.
'Arsenal have played very well in the game and they have improved a lot in recent games and have a good chance of getting back into the top four at the end of the season. And Liverpool after being drawn by Manchester City in the last game, this game has not improved much, such a state, but it is difficult to win the championship......"
At this time, Carragher was yelling and directing the defense in the backfield, while Zhao Yaning was thinking more about how to score at this time.
In this game, Figo continued to rest - he still had to play Bayern in midweek, and at his age, if he wants to play in such a schedule, he has to rest. This game against Arsenal is still Garcia. In terms of coordinated attacks, Garcia may be worse than Figo, but his running did successfully open up the space at the back for Liverpool, Zhao Yaning got more opportunities in the middle, and these opportunities, he can always have a way to convert them into goals, but this opportunity must be grasped well, and it cannot be rushed and there is a problem.
Zhao Yaning has not made much movement in the midfield, which has also emboldened the Arsenal players. Soon, when Cesc Fabregas got the ball again, he did not choose to pass the ball directly, but from the back, directly to the kill.
And this allowed Alonso to seize the opportunity immediately. He grabbed the ball from the feet of Fabregas with a tackle, and then didn't wait to get up, in order to avoid Fabregas from grabbing, he directly kicked the ball out and handed it to Zhao Yaning.
With a clean pass, when Zhao Yaning got the ball, he couldn't help but admire. Alonso's passing skills are really good, and the ball passed in such an embarrassing situation can be accurately placed. At this time, Gilberto Silva also ran up to intercept, he did not tackle immediately, nor did he rely on the standing position to intercept, his method was to rush up, grab Zhao Yaning's jersey tightly, and not let Zhao Yaning advance.
Such a defensive foul is ...... Zhao Yaning thought about it, but didn't hear the referee's whistle. It's Highbury after all, and maybe the whistle is a little looser? Helplessly, he turned around to protect the ball and looked at the referee who didn't speak, Zhao Yaning knew that he had to figure out his own way.
When Zhao Yaning got the ball, Gilberto and Cesc Fabregas blocked Zhao Yaning's assault line behind him. Gilberto leaned over tightly, and Zhao Yaning knew that if he turned around, Fabregas would grab it and snatch the ball from under his feet.
At this time, McConn had already received it on the right flank, but Zhao Yaning looked at Flamini in front of him and didn't think that he could have much chance. After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Yaning decided to simply come by himself.
Since it doesn't work to turn around directly, try something else.
Zhao Yaning hooked the ball with one kick and turned around while picking it up to his right side. He and Fabregas were almost face to face, Fabregas also raised his foot at this time, wanting to compete with Zhao Yaning for the ball that fell, but he was a step slower after all, and the landing point of this kind of ball is really not easy to judge, Zhao Yaning, who played the ball, is far better than Fabregas who defended to predict the landing point of the ball, when the ball fell, Zhao Yaning's foot took the lead again, and then turned the ball to the left, and picked the ball.
Fabregas came over to grab a step slower, Zhao Yaning had already turned quickly, bypassing Silva, and at the same time, he also relied on Silva to block Fabregas behind, and he himself rushed directly from the middle.
He has already passed the midfield and now all he has to face is a backline.
Senderos rushed up, but Zhao Yaning also saw Garcia approaching on the side at this time. He gave the ball to Garcia with one kick. Garcia understood a kick back pass, and a beautiful two-by-one cooperation helped Zhao Yaning get rid of Senderos. And at this time, Chloe Toure also blocked, but, Milito also responded in the penalty area, Zhao Yaning raised his foot, fell hard against the ball, the ball jumped up immediately, Toure thought it was an outside instep pass, but Zhao Yaning this kick, but just by stepping on the ball and then lifting his foot, he also hurriedly intercepted his passing route, but Zhao Yaning's kick was just to pick up the ball, and the ball fell straight up and down, and then, Zhao Yaning directly kicked the falling ball and sent the ball to the goal!
Lehmann's nerves have long been tense, when Zhao Yaning's shot, he also immediately pounced - Zhao Yaning is about ten meters away from the goal, this shot, and after his adjustment action, in Lehmann's opinion, this ball will definitely go to the near corner, the far corner position has Chloe Toure's block, only to play the near corner, relying on a fast enough ball and enough power, is enough to make this ball get the greatest possibility of success, break Lehmann's blockade, and successfully enter the net. However, when he pounced, he was surprised to realize that the ball was not going to the dead corner at all, the ball was picked up by Zhao Yaning and fell towards the middle of the goal!
A shot that successfully deceived the goalkeeper!
“ga1!!! Zhao Yaning successfully played Lehmann in front of the goal and scored a beautiful goal for Liverpool! Liverpool managed to pull back the draw and now they are 1-1 with Arsenal! ”
Zhao Yaning hugged Garcia excitedly, and it was not easy for him to score this goal. And the Liverpool fans also began to roar, and with this goal, their morale and confidence were boosted again.
All the way to half-time, the score was 1-1 for both sides. And after the second half of the game, Liverpool's attack increased again.
This time, after Sissoko broke the ball, he handed the ball to Zhao Yaning, who took the ball in the middle, dodged Fabregas's tackle, and directly blasted the ball to the door!
The ball hit the crossbar and after a bang, it fell back into the box, and his long-range shot was missed, much to Lehmann's relief. However, his respite was not over before the second wave of Liverpool's attack arrived. This time, Garcia grabbed the first point in the box, he stepped away from the ball, and then turned around and shot the ball towards the net!
“ga1!!!! Liverpool turned the game 2-1! Luis Garcia shoots into the net! They beat Arsenal and Liverpool continue to lead the race for the league title! ”
Yes, we've already taken the lead in this title race, and now that we've got the top spot, no matter who we are, they can't pull us down again! Cat flutter Chinese
