989 Destroy him!
At Anfield Stadium, the battle is about to break out.
"Good afternoon for everyone, everyone, welcome to the focus event staged at Anfield Stadium in the 3rd round of the 2017-2018 English Football Super League. The defending champions Reds Liverpool will play against Arsenal at home!
As we all know, Liverpool has monopolized the Premier League championship for five consecutive years. They broke the record, set the record, and then continued to push up their records, making it even more insurmountable for latecomers!
The biggest topic about the Premier League is who can become Liverpool's competitors and who has the capital to overthrow the Red Army's dynasty!
After two rounds of the league in the new season, Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United have maintained a complete victory. It is actually difficult to draw a conclusion which team performs stronger, but there is one thing that is, Liverpool is definitely the strongest team in this league and even European football!
Before the game, Klopp said that Arsenal must get a good result in a direct dialogue with Liverpool, but today they face the strong and relatively uniform Reds on the road, which is probably in danger of being in trouble.
Let's take a look at the starting lineup of the two teams.
Liverpool starts 433.
Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.
Defenders: Arnold, Van Dijk, Coolibali, Guerrero.
Midfielder: Casemiro, Eriksen, Kante.
Forwards: Mbappe, Lewandowski, Gareth Bale.
Arsenal starts 433.
Goalkeeper: Karius.
Defenders: Bellerin, Koscheerney, Matip, Chambers.
Midfielders: Milner, Ramsey, Wijnaldum.
Forwards: Salah, Firmino, Mane.
After the experiment at the beginning of the season, Klopp finally decided to let Milner play in the midfield, and Chambers was the position of the left back.
The game is about to begin, let us look forward to what trend this battle will show!”
Both teams have very tough midfielders!
But Situ Yunbing was not worried that Liverpool would lose in the midfield competition.
Accompanied by the enthusiastic cheering atmosphere of Anfield Stadium, the referee blew the whistle to the beginning of the game.
Liverpool took the lead and launched a fast break immediately.
Lewandowski resisted the attack from Milner and Ramsey in the middle of the frontcourt. After knocking the ball back, Eriksen missed the ball under Firmino's defense. Casemiro followed up and passed the ball directly to the ground and passed it diagonally to the right of the frontcourt. Mbappe instantly caught the ball and turned to the sideline. Chambers was fully protected by Mbappe in close combat. The latter quickly passed the ball after dribbling down the bottom.
Gareth Bale followed up from the far end and was first cleared by Koscheerney.
After Arsenal completed the clearance, the midfielders quickly competed for the football landing point and were very motivated.
Although Milner took the lead and headed the ball to the wing, Salah rushed to the frontcourt with a quick push on the wing and turned inward to try to pass Kante, but Kante's accurate interception destroyed the ball!
Situ Yunbing was not surprised by Arsenal's performance. In fact, they must have played defensive counterattacks when they came away today.
After the Community Shield Battle, Klopp should have a deeper understanding that if he wants to face Liverpool head-on, Arsenal is still far behind in terms of strength!
So today Liverpool's defense is Kante responsible for assisting in the left side, mainly curbing Salah's advancement and incision threat!
After successful defense, Liverpool quickly organized a fast attack. Eriksen hit the ball across the right in front of the center circle. Arnold quickly stepped forward and stopped and swung forward to advance the offense. When he pushed the offense, Wijnaldum obviously assisted the defense in advance in advance and formed a joint defense with Chambers to resist Liverpool's right-hand impact threat.
Arnold made a cross from the wing 45 degrees, and the football flew into the middle of the penalty area. Lewandowski shook his head and attacked the goalkeeper with a high ball!
Failed to create a threat.
After seeing this scene on the sidelines, Situ Yunbing immediately gestured to the team.
The big hand pointed to Arsenal's left defense with a wave, and the meaning was clear: beat him up!
In the 6th minute of the game, Liverpool and Arsenal were in a midfield. Arsenal Ramsey made a long pass from the backcourt and found Mane on the left side of the frontcourt. The latter quickly dribbled the ball and cut inside to get rid of Arnold, which also made Casemiro lose his position, but failed when he dribbled into the penalty area and tried to dribble Van Dijk!
Klopp was as heavy as water on the sidelines, and Liverpool's defense was layer after layer, and each layer was top-notch!
Such an opponent can easily wipe out the patience and confidence of the attacking side!
Finally fell into endless despair!
In the 9th minute of the game, when Gareth Bale knocked the ball back to Eriksen on the left, the latter hit the wall with Casemiro to cooperate with the running position and came to the middle of the frontcourt, and did not go deep into the offensive dangerous area. When Ramsey stepped forward to press, Eriksen sent the ball diagonally to the right area in front of the penalty area.
When Mbappe received the ball, Wijnaldum hit him again. Mbappe knocked the ball back to Arnold who was inserted, and immediately turned around and cut in to run after getting the ball!
Chambers followed the defense, while Wijnaldum blocked Arnold's route to Mbappe, but Arnold passed the ball diagonally in front of the penalty area to the right.
Wijnaldum looked back and saw that the picture that came to his eyes was Lewandowski taking the initiative to get a shot and hit the ball and blocking the right rib of the penalty area!
Mbappene cuts too fast!
Chambers and the other party lost their position in the defense, and it was impossible to intercept each other in person!
Mbappe made a fake move toward Matip before touching the ball, which tilted Matip's defense center of gravity, but unexpectedly, Mbappe moved the ball to the bottom line and changed direction to the bottom line. Seeing Gareth Bale blocked by Koscheerny on the running line, Mbappe directly kicked the ball!
Although the angle is not good, the ball is strong and the near corner of Arsenal. Karius quickly blocked the near corner of the goal, almost subconsciously raised his hand to block it, and the football changed direction and flew out of the bottom line.
call!
All the fans of the audience exclaimed.
Mbappe gave Lewandowski a thumbs up, then gestured to Gareth Bale, saying that he had no good chance to pass the ball to his feet just now.
"Mbappe's shot was blocked by Karius! This new Arsenal player may not fit the exciting player Situ Yunbing defined before the season.
But judging from his performance at the beginning of the season, he is still a good signing.
Although it was a bit difficult to save the safety just now, I finally tried to protect the city gate!"
Liverpool quickly took a tactical corner kick. After the outside transfer, Guerrero hung the ball into the penalty area on the left. Casemiro, who inserted behind, headed the ball directly, but unfortunately it was a bit straight, and the football was confiscated by Calius.
Karius threw the ball directly and instigated a fast break, but the ball that he threw in the midfield to look for Mane was interrupted by Kante!
The Arsenal generals' forward running movement came to an abrupt end and quickly made defensive adjustments.
After Liverpool quickly passed the organization in the frontcourt, Eriksen responded to Gareth Bale's pass in the right area and then directly scored!
The ball made a long shot with the effect of the external instep arc, which made Karius unresponsive. As a result, the football flew out of the bottom line against the outside of the goal post!
"Wow! Erikson's long-range shot was a slight difference, and he almost penetrated Arsenal's goal!
Arsenal's counterattack must ensure success rate. If you handle the ball hastily, it is likely to add defensive pressure to your defense line!
After all, Liverpool is famous all over the world for playing quickly!”
Situ Yunbing grinned slightly on the sidelines. Liverpool is a little bit far from scoring these waves of offensives, so they can't be too demanding that offensive players cannot seize the opportunity. It is very difficult to get an excellent opportunity from Arsenal, which is playing defensive counterattack.
Klopp's expression was already very serious, and the current situation was very unfavorable to Arsenal.
Their midfield operation has a big problem, with only defense but lacking the efficiency of offense and defense conversion.
Firmino's position is getting deeper and deeper, so it cannot be said that this is wrong, but in this way, Salah and Mane lack a bridge of contact!
He walked to the sidelines to gesture to the two forwards on the court so that they could get closer.
In the 13th minute of the game, when Arsenal made a quick break from the left side of the frontcourt, Salah came from the right to the area near the middle to meet.
Mane and Firmino cooperated to cooperate and quickly went down the bottom. The ball changed direction and forced Arnold to face Van Dijk. At this time, Mane stopped urgently and pulled back, shook the angle and passed the ball to Salah.
Salah was fast and stepped forward to grab Kulibali's front position.
If Kulibali was a fledgling central defender, this style of play would definitely catch Kulibali off guard.
But Kulibali moved ahead of time to block Salah from the outside, and at the same time used his arch to pad the ball to the middle of the backcourt, successfully resolving the danger and allowing the team to instigate a fast attack as soon as possible.
After all, it was after the baptism of war in recent years. Although Salah has good abilities, he has not yet reached the top ranks in terms of tactical literacy. Compared with those top stars who are better at finding opportunities through technical and tactical cooperation and interspersed running, Salah's threat is still a little smaller. Of course, on this acre of three-point land in the Premier League, Salah definitely has his own dazzling place.
After Casemiro took the ball in the backcourt, he quickly passed the ball diagonally to the right of the midfield.
Arnold dribbled the ball first under Mane's pursuit and passed the midfield. At this time, Wijnaldum had already run towards Mbappe.
When Arnold passed the ball straight ahead, Wijnaldum became more determined to assist in defending the running sideways. At the same time, Milner moved towards the middle of the penalty area, while Ramsey pressed Eriksen in close proximity.
After touching the ball, Mbappe dribbled back and pulled back two steps to hit the ball across the middle. Casemiro quickly followed up and passed it straight, and the football rolled to the left in front of the penalty area.
Lewandowski stopped the ball under Koscheerny's top defense and immediately hit the ball across the left side.
Arsenal obviously believes that Liverpool's offensive transfer will be sparked by Gareth Bale and Lewandowski, focusing on impacting the left ribs of the defense line!
So they moved to this side to increase their troops.
But Gareth Bale adjusted one step in the active response and sent a half-high ball with his left foot!
The football bypassed Coscheerney and flew towards the middle of the goal!
When Matip realized the crisis, Mbappe had quickly cut inside and rushed to the front of the goal, and directly volleyed the ball and sent the ball into the upper left corner of the goal!
Chapter completed!
