497 Self-destructing the Great Wall
The change in the game style after Liverpool replaced Coutinho has caused a very extreme change in the game trend.
Both teams can successfully pass through the opponent's midfield and then see how effective the opponent's offense is.
As the saying goes, those who win the midfield will win the world, but now both teams do not have complete control of the midfield. They focus on the midfield to put pressure on their opponents from offense or defense and gain a scene advantage.
It's a complete demeanor of me attacking me, and you hit you, and see who will die first!
In the 67th minute of the game, Arsenal did not dare to over-move the full-backs in the offense, for fear of Liverpool's fast break opening the gap from the side, but their midfield attack was still booming. What surprised Liverpool's defense line was that this time, full-back Sarnia made a long pass and rushed through the midfield.
This is somewhat not consistent with Arsenal's style, but the effect is surprisingly good!
Because Giroud served as the offensive fulcrum, he controlled the ball!
After stopping the ball with his chest in the mid-scramble, he blocked Benatia behind him, and then knocked the ball back to Ramsey who followed him up. The latter stopped the ball and adjusted it and then gave a kick to the ground and pass it straight!
The extremely penetrating pass tore the right rib of Liverpool's defense line, Walcott cut inside and got rid of Enrique. When he hit the right rib of the penalty area, Scotter immediately returned to the middle of the goal and killed him.
Podolsky was escorted at the far end, and Gerald returned to the penalty area and focused on curbing Walcott's pass route to Podolsky.
But when Walcott knocked the ball back diagonally back to the left of the penalty area line, Gerald and Casemiro were a bit slower to attack!
Cassolla rushed forward and shot with a fury shot!
The football flew straight to the upper left corner of the goal like a cannonball!
This ball is extremely tricky!
Goalkeeper Ter Stegen rushed forward and flew to save but was unable to turn the world back!
When the football flew into Liverpool goal, Wenger couldn't help but clenched his fists and smiled on the sidelines.
Cazorla also sparked passionate celebrations from Gunners fans!
"Cazora's shot from the penalty area line sent the ball into Liverpool's goal!
Arsenal leads Liverpool again!
Arsenal performed awesome today!
They made Liverpool's defense unbeatable!
Situ Yunbing probably didn't expect that his team could show off his power in Old Trafford, but now he has a crisis of failure at Emirates Stadium!
The score became 2:1, Arsenal led Liverpool with one goal!”
Situ Yunbing looked a little helpless, turned around and walked to the bench with some depression. He replaced Casemiro with Lucas.
I have to admit that Casemiro is in poor condition today. If he hadn't had higher expectations for him, he should have replaced him as the first substitution.
Casemiro was actually a little confused by Arsenal's dazzling pass and cut off method in the first half, and failed to firmly implement the defensive principles he was used to.
So for a long time, I became timid, not robbing and not retreating.
After completing the substitution, Liverpool began to face Arsenal, who consciously strengthened his defense.
Arsenal has completed another lead in the score, and now they have to consider how to turn the victory into a victory based on the remaining time of the game.
Wenger really wanted to defeat Situ Yunbing, and wanted to defeat the majesty of the most popular young coach.
At the same time, this is also the best way to boost Arsenal's morale!
When Arsenal began to become conservative, the scene began to change!
Although there were two fast horses in the counterattack, Podolski and Walcott, the main reason why Arsenal was able to play many threatening offensives on the court today was their midfielder!
So when at least two of the three midfielders stayed in the midfield and backcourt to try to strengthen their defense, Arsenal's offense lacked creativity and was more of a clear threat. Liverpool's defense is just a matter of ability, but it will not bring them a flaw in the defensive system!
What's more important is that even if Arsenal strengthens its defense, it will be difficult for them to withstand the strong attack from Liverpool!
Wenger should have made this very calmly before the game, otherwise he would not have been like the one he was today. However, after leading, his anxiety about gains and losses made him go back to the path he had already ruled out.
In the 72nd minute of the game, Gerald reached the frontcourt. Gareth Bale made a rush on the left and then turned into the inward cutting track. When Sarnia and Ramsey joined forces to snipe him, Gareth Bale knocked the ball back to Gerald who was inserted.
Facing the young Willsheer, Gerald mercilessly dribbled the ball and changed direction to pass it!
When Willshere turned around and chased afterwards, Gerald had already brought the pass space and immediately teleported the ball across the middle of the penalty area.
Willsheer turned around and wanted to chase Coutinho at this time, and he had no chance at all!
Coutinho dribbled directly into the middle of the penalty area. Seeing Coschelney and Vermullen come to attack him together, Coutinho decisively passed the ball forward and sent it out.
Suarez went into the middle and directly pushed the ball, and the football rolled into the lower right corner of the goal. Szczesny didn't even have a chance to save!
When Suarez was preparing to celebrate, he saw the border hike the flag to signal him to offside!
Suarez immediately hugged his head and shook his hands at the direction of the lineman with dissatisfaction.
Situ Yunbing looked depressed. Is this ball offside?
He doesn't know!
"Suarez's goal was blown away! The lineman thinks he is offside!
Let’s take a look at the replay just now. At the moment Coutinho passed the ball, Suarez’s body did stick out of the offside line!
If there is any controversy about this ball, it is only very small, and there is no big problem with offside.
Although Liverpool was blown up with a goal, Arsenal's defense should be more vigilant!"
Wenger began to get nervous.
The situation is taking a sharp turn!
Was it caused by Liverpool's counterattack?
No, it was caused by Arsenal's reduction of pressure on Liverpool's offense!
Liverpool can attack with even more worries!
In the 77th minute of the game, Cazorla made a long pass from the middle and backcourt to find Giroud. Although the first step was done, Giroud headed the ball to find Walcott, but Lucas intercepted the ball before Walcott touched the ball and passed it back to goalkeeper Ter Stegen.
Liverpool's fast break was launched quickly.
Sterling received a pass from Coutinho from the right, and confidently completed the cross-border acceleration breakthrough in front of Brazilian full-back Santos, and then passed the ball in front of the baseline.
However, the quality of his crossing is not good.
The football flew to the back of Gareth Bale's running line, which made Gareth Bale immediately stop and directly face the goal and choose to shoot in the golden hook!
All the audience was dumbfounded!
Szczesnie's eyes widened and his expression was incredible.
When Gareth Bale shot in reverse hook, the lost sighs echoed at the Emirates Stadium.
The football is above the beam!
"Wow! Gareth Bale almost made a world goal!
This time, the reverse hook shot was done well, but unfortunately the angle was a little worse and he hit a high shot!"
Situ Yunbing used up the last substitution quota, Vardy came on the field, and Sterling ended.
Wenger saw that Situ Yunbing had replaced a new forward, and he was a little scared.
Substitutions will be made immediately!
Chamberlain and Mertesacker appeared, replacing Walcott and Podolsky who were unable to keep up with their physical strength.
Arsenal became a five-back, just to compress the defensive space to avoid being scored by Liverpool.
However, in this way, Arsenal's offensive threat plummeted.
At the same time, Liverpool's right-hand attack was completely liberated.
Glenn Johnson can assist in the frontcourt without defensive pressure.
In the 82nd minute of the game, when Glenn Johnson received a pass from Lucas on the right, he dribbled all the way into the dangerous area of the frontcourt offense, and then made a cross from the 45-degree sideline.
Although the football was cleared by Mertesacker's header, it was still controlled by Gerald on the outside. Gerald made a direct pass on the spot. Coutinho took the ball back to the back with his back in front of the penalty area. The football rolled into the left rib of the penalty area, and Gareth Bale shot!
But the angle was too straight, Szczesney blocked the ball from the front.
Ramsey immediately sent a long pass after controlling the ball outside the penalty area.
Chamberlain ran away on the sidewalk that had just passed the midfield. When the football landed, the energetic Chamberlain took the ball forward and strode forward. Enrique turned around in a hurry and even wanted to make a foul, but Chamberlain killed him faster. Enrique almost staggered and fell to the ground, looking a little embarrassed!
Chamberlain seemed to have completely ignored Benatia, and the lieutenant dribbling speed increased to the highest level, which really made Benatia very uncomfortable. No one was going to curb Chamberlain. Benatia could only retreat into the penalty area. Chamberlain brought out an offensive depth advantage in the galloping. In the penalty area, he did not consider his shot, but passed the ball to Giroud!
When he passed the ball, Giroud, who was running forward in the middle, almost twisted his waist!
Because the ball was passed behind him!
Chamberlain was afraid of being disturbed by Ter Stegen's attack, so he passed the ball a little conservatively!
Giroud stopped urgently and turned around to try to stop the ball, but his legs were unable to touch him. Instead, he was unbalanced and sat on the ground, then he fell back and fell to the ground with regret!
The Emirates Stadium also echoed the huge sighs of Arsenal fans!
Wenger almost wanted to roll his eyes!
Situ Yunbing looked as usual, but he felt relieved in his heart.
Escape!
Just as many people were still lamenting that Arsenal missed an excellent opportunity, Liverpool's offense played extremely quickly.
Lucas made a long pass from the backcourt to find Gareth Bale in the frontcourt, Koscheerney headed the ball to clear the ball, Gerald controlled the ball in front of the center circle and then sent a diagonal pass on the ground.
After Glenn Johnson received the ball from the wing, he quickly fought with Coutinho with two passes and one wall. Then he quickly dribbled the ball down the bottom and knocked the ball across the penalty area.
Vardy took a shot without making any adjustments in the right side of the penalty area!
I was a little anxious, but it was understandable that I was eager to make contributions.
The football flew straight to the lower left position in the middle of the goal. Szczesny made a save action as soon as possible, but because the ball was too fast, he could only barely block the ball!
Save it out!
Just as Szczesny fell to the ground after saving the shot, the football that had just been playing on the ground was shot into the goal by Gareth Bale!
The football rolled into the goal from less than one meter above Szczesny's head!
Chapter completed!
