Both teams have set up their strongest lineups at present, and we have reason to expect this game to be a exciting and fierce battle. The encounter between Situ Yunbing and Klopp can always bring out dazzling sparks.
The game begins soon, let us witness together what the civil war between the championship group will end after 90 minutes of the game!”
Situ Yunbing and Klopp stood on the side and stared at the field seriously. Both teams felt somewhat unable to afford to lose in this game, because Manchester City was too strong!
Manchester City is playing at home against Bournemouth in this round. Unless it is a shocking cold, it is only expected that they will score 3 points.
When the referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the game, Arsenal, who played at home, took the lead in kicking off.
Liverpool started to actively fight back from the front line. After Arsenal's midfield passed continuously, Milner sent the ball to the left in the backcourt. Chambers quickly stepped forward and stopped and pushed the ball through the half. When Casemiro assisted in the defense of the side, he quickly cooperated with Firmino, who took the initiative to respond, and continued to advance the ball through the middle!
Situ Yunbing frowned slightly on the sidelines. Arsenal put Salah on the right and didn't fight. Will the main attack on the left be a feint?
Chambers has gained a lot of goals under Klopp's command over the past year, especially in offensive organization and instigation. This is very similar to Liverpool. The lack of creativity in the midfield offensive organization forces the full-back to stimulate stronger organizational capabilities.
On the right, Bellerin used high speed to tear open the opponent's defense line, and it was his support. His right combination with Salah was second only to the combination of Mbappe Arnold in terms of offensive threats, and even Manchester City could not compare with him. After all, Kyle Walker's assist ability is relatively limited.
Chambers quickly dribbled into the offensive dangerous area. When Arnold was about to step forward to intercept him, Mane decisively cut inside. At this moment, Chambers sent the ball obliquely.
Arnold turned around and returned to defense and was already passive. Mane led the ball and cut into the left rib of the penalty area. Before Van Dijk blocked, he took the lead and shot!
The football flew straight to the near corner of the goal, and Ter Stegen was ready to make a full save and directly held the ball in his arms.
"Arsenal completed a shot in the first minute of the game. Mane's shot in the penalty area was blocked by Ter Stegen. Arsenal's left fast break was still impressive. Now Chambers has returned to defend, and Mane has also retreated to defend. Let's see how Liverpool will counterattack!"
Liverpool quickly launched a fast attack from the left, because Arsenal players will naturally compress space on Arnold's side when they retreat, which is not conducive to Liverpool's passing in the backcourt.
Coolibali passed the ball to Robertson who was quickly forward. The latter encountered Ramsey's quick defense when he passed halfway through the ball. He immediately knocked the ball across the middle. Kante stepped forward to control the ball, Firmino counterattacked from behind. Kante decisively passed the ball diagonally to the right. Mbappe was pressed by Wijnaldum as soon as he stopped the ball.
Arsenal's overall tightening and defensive tactics are very strong!
This makes Liverpool's reaction time less in the offense and requires them to organize the offensive faster.
Mbappe knocked the ball back diagonally and quickly stepped forward. Eriksen made a move in front of Milner to find Mbappe's forward insertion line to deceive Milner's defensive center of gravity. He dunked the ball under his feet and turned to the left side of the front court. Eriksen then passed the ball diagonally in front of the penalty area and went to the left side.
Gareth Bell cut across and kills!
Koscheerny took the lead in defense, but he didn't rush to grab it!
Arsenal's mature defensive performance this season is that it highlights regional defense and joint control in defense, so Koscheerney did not rob and blocked Gareth Bale's shooting angle as much as possible. If he has the next move, he will act like a chance.
Before being caught in the encirclement, Gareth Bale knocked the ball across to Lewandowski's feet, who completed one shot under Matip's defense in one go!
The football flew straight to the upper right corner of the middle of the goal, and Karius moved one step and jumped to hold the ball in the air!
"Lewandowski completed Liverpool's first shot in this game. Both teams successfully attacked, but the threat was not very obvious. It depends on how the situation will develop in the future!"
Naturally, Arsenal would not stop for a moment and quickly launched a fast break. Ramsey made a long pass in the backcourt to find Salah who was retreating in the frontcourt. It seemed that Arsenal was preparing to launch a fast break from the right.
Kanter continued to focus on Salah. In the beginning of the league, Liverpool played against Arsenal at home, Kanter's restrictions on Salah were very successful, which made Arsenal's offensive threat significantly lower.
But Salah dribbled back and pulled away from Kanter after controlling the ball from the side and knocked the ball across. Milner, who quickly followed up, directly sent a diagonal pass against the ground and sent the ball to the left side!
When Mane and Firmino were in close contact on the left side of the frontcourt to make a pass and cut against the wall to break through Arnold's defense, Situ Yunbing changed slightly on the sidelines.
He felt that Arsenal's offensive tactics today would not be centered on Salah, but on Mane!
This is what Liverpool defends Arnold on the right!
Arnold's defense is not top-notch. Situ Yunbing will not forcibly improve his defense evaluation because of his offensive ability. At the same time, Arnold has participated almost all Liverpool games this season. When the time point is about to end the half-time league, his physical fitness is definitely the worst among all the players on the court!
I believe Klopp also learned this before the game, so he was extremely targeted in the arrangement of troops!
Klopp played well and had no concealment to defeat Arnold in today's game!
Because Arsenal did not miss any chance to hit Arnold in the offense!
When Firmino was controlling the ball in the left rib of the penalty area, Van Dijk rushed to defend. Firmino then passed the ball diagonally to the front of the penalty area to the right.
Salah, who followed up, volleyed directly before Kanter!
The ball was a bit forced, and the football flew straight to the stands!
"Salah's ball has been shot away! If you control the ball and adjust it again, it may be better!
But Kante is right next to him. If he doesn't choose to shoot at the first time, he can only dribble into the penalty area, but that level of Kulibali is not easy.
Arsenal's offense once again found a breakthrough from the left. Arnold's defensive pressure today is a bit high!"
Compared to Arsenal's tactical directness, Liverpool still has some strategies.
Take the lead in launching an attack from the left, creating a better offensive environment for Mbappe as much as possible, and making a sound attack!
In the 8th minute of the game, when Robertson assisted in the frontcourt with Gareth Bale, Erikson made a quick triangle pass and cut, Robertson received Erikson's pass from the outside, he dribbled across the ball and rushed towards the penalty area. Koscheerney rushed to block, Milner retreated and defended Gareth Bale, and Wijnaldum came to the penalty area to make up for the placement.
Arsenal's joint defense adjustment has indeed improved a lot compared to the first official encounter this season!
The fight on the community shield was not taken seriously by Situ Yunbing at all. At that time, Arsenal did not intend to fight against Liverpool.
Seeing that the far pass point was not good, Robertson decisively passed the ball to the top of the penalty area.
Just as Eriksen rushed to the football landing point and shot, Wijnaldum also came to him and blocked his shooting angle with his body.
Eriksen's forced volley was blocked by Wijnaldum with his body!
Arsenal fans suddenly applauded and praised Arsenal's defense.
The ball that was bounced out was controlled by Kanter in the middle circle, and then he hit the ball across the right side. Arnold followed up and passed it straight.
Mbappe pulled the ball from the side of the frontcourt and turned around. Facing Chambers' defense, he pretended to cut inside, but kept hitting the ball and changing direction to break through from the outside!
After playing a strong attack on the left, it was difficult for Arsenal to re-arrange its defense line immediately. This is a good opportunity for Liverpool to threaten it!
After Mbappe successfully broke through from the outside, he forced speed up and cut inside and rushed into the penalty area. When Matip came to block the blockade, the adjustment of Arsenal's defense line was exactly the same as when he blocked Robertson before. However, Mbappe did not pass the ball to the top of the penalty area, but forced a breakthrough!
In front of Matipu, the fake fax buckle was passed through the opponent from the bottom line, and then passed the ball to the front of the goal. Lewandowski blocked Koscheerny and was ready to shoot at any time!
Seeing that the city gate was in danger of losing, at the critical moment, Karius made a tackle and cleared the ball first!
The moment the football flew out, Lewandowski couldn't help but sigh to the sky!
He and Karius were less than half a meter away, but Karius was the first to rescue the ball!
"Liverpool's continuous offensive has put a lot of pressure on Arsenal's defense!
At the critical moment, Karius cleared the ball!
Lewandowski is only one step away from being able to start the away record for Liverpool!
Now it's Arsenal's turn to fight back!
Chapter completed!
