Beep! A whistle blows and the game officially begins.
The visiting team Arsenal kicked off first. Van Persie passed the ball back and quickly rushed into Liverpool's half.
The football rolled to the feet of midfielder Cesc Fabregas, and Liverpool forward Huntelaar rushed up. Huntelaar directly stretched his legs to steal the ball. Fabregas took the lead and dunked the football past Huntelaar.
OK, take the ball forward.
At the same time, Alexander Song and Rosicky also pressed forward from both sides of Fabregas, creating more contact points for Fabregas. Gallas on the back line quickly pushed forward and reached the back line.
The front becomes a midfielder.
Arsenal's two full-backs moved closer to the center, forming a back three.
Yes, when attacking, Arsenal's defense was also well organized and did not give Liverpool any chance.
In the previous games, Comrade Wenger already knew that Liverpool's counterattack was very powerful. Before the game, Wenger emphasized many times that the defense line must be kept relatively intact at all times, so that even if Arsenal cannot win,
The ball will not be lost.
It can be seen that Arsenal's defense is at the expense of their offense. Because Arsenal's two full-backs have very good functional abilities, but at this time, the two full-backs did use the midfielder as a central defender.
If you use it, it's a waste of their offensive talent.
This can also be seen that the current Arsenal team is in the testing stage. Once they test it out, this strategy will definitely change. Arsenal's two full-backs will definitely not be so bad in the backcourt.
of.
On the sidelines, Liverpool's head coach Benitez has also noticed it. He also knows that this is definitely a testing stage for Arsenal.
Benitez did not expect that Arsenal would engage in this test. In this case, Arsenal's offense would definitely not be particularly sharp, and Liverpool's defense would not suffer too much impact. At this time, Benitez
Si immediately walked to the sidelines and gestured to Qiu Ze to launch an attack.
If you want to test things, but I don't, I will attack like crazy as soon as you come up, disrupting your plan.
After receiving the prompt from Benitez, Qiu Ze constantly signaled the Liverpool players to press forward, intensifying the intensity of the robbery, trying to push the front line forward, to the half-court, or to the front of Arsenal's penalty area.
The Liverpool team pounced very hard as soon as they came up, and Arsenal didn't have much mental preparation. Therefore, when the Liverpool team first pounced on them, they seemed a little panicked. Moreover, there are so many Liverpool fans now.
It's normal for them to be flustered.
Fabregas felt that the surrounding passing routes had been blocked, and at this time, Qiu Ze was also rushing up. Fabregas felt nervous, Qiu Ze was very fast, almost in the blink of an eye.
Arriving in front of him, he had not yet chosen a route to take the ball.
At this time, Fabregas really had very few routes to play the ball. In such a pressing situation, he really did not choose to come over. However, Fabregas was no longer a young boy. He did not panic and passed the ball.
He won't go out, but he is confident that he can firmly control the football at his feet and not be cut off.
Seeing Qiu Ze close to him, Fabregas immediately moved the football to his side and prepared to change direction to pass Qiu Ze. However, Qiu Ze was very close to him. When Fabregas changed direction,
He had no room to accelerate and was intercepted by Qiu Ze again.
And at this time, Liverpool's full midfielder was approaching here. This was a double defense. Fabregas was shocked. He immediately turned around again, with his back to Qiu Ze, and directly kicked the ball back.
Pass back to Gallas behind.
Fabregas sighed in his heart that he really couldn't get rid of it, so he had to choose to pass the ball back. After passing the football back, he immediately turned around and rushed forward. He hoped that Galas could play a one-two with him.
You can get rid of Qiu Ze.
However, just as he turned around, out of the corner of his eye he saw Liverpool forward Huntelaar suddenly come out of the way and cut off the football. Fabregas was shocked.
At this moment, Qiu Ze quickly passed by Cesc Fabregas and rushed towards the Arsenal half.
The Liverpool fans at the scene immediately burst into enthusiastic cheers, and they all cheered for the Liverpool players.
Seeing that the football was broken, Gallas rushed out immediately. He wanted to surprise Huntelaar from behind and destroy the football at Huntelaar's feet. However, Huntelaar's back was facing the Arsenal goal.
Lal seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. When Galas pounced on him, he immediately passed the football back to Qiu Ze who was rushing up.
After passing the football, Huntelaar suddenly turned 360 degrees on the spot, staggered his position, kicked his legs fiercely and shot out like an arrow.
Gallas, whose sight was blocked by Huntelaar's body, didn't see Huntelaar pass the ball at all. He only saw Huntelaar in front of him suddenly turn around, which shocked him. He didn't even see the pass.
He had not expected that Huntelaar would come so suddenly, and he was stunned at the time.
In this stunned moment, Huntelaar quickly passed Gallas and rushed towards the Arsenal penalty area.
At this time, the football just rolled in front of Qiu Ze who was cutting forward. While making the forward move, Qiu Ze kept observing the situation in front of him. Seeing that Huntelaar just passed Gallas, Qiu Ze did not stop the ball and directly
He retreated while running and came up with a long pass over the top.
The football immediately flew upwards. When the football flew past his eyes and his head, Galas realized that it was too late for him to jump up to block the ball. And even if he had time, it was too late.
You can't stop the football even if you jump up, it's an overhead kick.
Qiu Ze's pass showed his skills. The pass was not very high, but it was enough to go over the top. The speed of the ball was also very appropriate, the route was even more subtle, and the landing point was just right.
The football landed directly less than one meter in front of Huntelaar, who was rushing forward. Huntelaar picked it up just right, without slowing down or accelerating. This distance was far away from Arsenal center back Vermaelen.
There was a little distance, so Vermaelen could only watch the ball and sigh.
Seeing such an exquisite overhead pass, the Anfield stadium immediately recalled thunderous applause, and many fans chanted Qiu Ze's name.
"The precise overhead pass was so exciting! Chris's pass was definitely a masterclass." Sky Sports commentator Gary Lineker couldn't help but sigh.
"Beautiful passes always bring great opportunities, and here's Liverpool's opportunity." Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen also shouted excitedly at this time.
Indeed, Liverpool's opportunity is very good now, and Huntelaar has many options. He can choose to take a direct long shot at this time, and the ball has already entered his range. Of course, Huntelaar can also continue
Lead forward and break into Arsenal's penalty area.
Seeing Qiu Ze passing the ball, Arsenal center back Vermaelen rushed out quickly. He was going for the football. He wanted to clear the ball before Huntelaar, but Qiu Ze
This guy Ze's pass was so accurate, and his strength was incredible.
After Vermaelen saw where the football landed, he was in a dilemma at this time. If he rushed forward, he would not be able to get the football at all. Huntelaar had already got the football. If he retreated, Huntelaar would definitely get it.
Choose long shot.
At this time, Vermaelen hated Qiu Ze in his heart. Originally, he rushed out with confidence. He was confident that he could touch football first. However, this time, he made a big fool of himself.
It's embarrassing and embarrassing for Dafa. He is unable to get up or down due to Qiu Ze. He can be as embarrassed as he wants.
But now is not the time for Vermaelen to be embarrassed. The situation is very dangerous now. If he doesn't make a choice in time, Arsenal will be in danger.
At this time, Vermaelen gritted his teeth and rushed forward quickly, thinking that since he had rushed out, there was no reason to go back. Vermaelen rushed towards Huntelaar without hesitation.
Huntelaar seemed not to have seen Vermaelen. He gently moved the football forward, and then rushed towards the football quickly.
"Huntelaar is going to take a long shot!" Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen was stunned by Huntelaar's choice. Didn't he see Vermaelen rushing out like crazy? This goal must be forced.
The shot must hit Vermaelen!
The Arsenal fans at the scene screamed in horror. This guy is not here to play football, but to kick people! The Arsenal fans were all in a cold sweat because Vermaelen rushed out like a machine gun.
.
When Vermaelen rushed out, he was not nervous at all when he saw Huntelaar's action, because he had already determined in his mind that Huntelaar's action must be a fake one. Huntelaar was not a fool, didn't he know?
If he forced the shot, it would definitely hit himself!
Vermaelen determined that Huntelaar's shot was a fake. This guy must have faked the shot and dunked the ball in an attempt to get past him. Now Vermaelen wanted to determine where Huntelaar was going to dunk the football.
One side?
At this moment, Huntelaar, who rushed in front of the football, suddenly tilted his upper body to Huntelaar's left side. Vermaelen's eyes lit up and he sighed inwardly: "Sure enough, this guy really faked a shot and dunked for real."
, and I still want to break through from the right side of my body!"
After discovering Huntelaar's conspiracy, Vermaelen immediately moved sideways to the right side of his body to block Huntelaar's breakthrough.
But!
Boom! A loud noise came, and Huntelaar's right foot hit the football hard, making a thunderous sound.
Vermaelen was stunned: "Ah! This guy really wants to shoot!"
Vermaelen really didn't expect that Huntelaar would choose to shoot directly. Oh my god, this is so unexpected. This is simply impossible to speculate with common sense! Oh my god, what on earth was this guy thinking at that time?
Isn't he afraid of the football hitting his body hard? Or, is this guy's initial thought just to hit his body hard?
