"Matthew, Arsenal's performance is abnormal. They also have a lot of opportunities, and Xiao's position has not changed. Are we wrong?~
But it seems that they are not strong either. Are they going to deliver a fatal blow in the second half?" Adams was also wondering.
"Well, Arsenal made very few off-the-ball movements today. Most of them relied on personal abilities, and there were not a few beautiful cooperations. I think it is related to Arsenal's physical problems.
However, Xiao's position is indeed difficult to figure out. Most of them are on the wing, which was rare in the past. Today, Xiao has many opportunities to cut inside. It seems that the performance of other Arsenal players has also affected Xiao's state. Waves
Not surprised." Matthew was also speculating.
Everyone was staring at the court, staring at Xiao Ge. Although Xiao Ge was very good at breaking through Gerrard many times today, he was a little less domineering. He didn't even shoot one of his iconic heavy cannons, which made people feel
Not normal at all.
"Teacher Yan, it seems that Xiao Ge is not excited today and has not connected with Henry and others. What is the reason? Is it due to physical fitness?" Zhou Liang asked, also somewhat confused.
"There is a reason for this, but I think Arsenal held back and did not press forward all at once offensively. You can see that Xiao Ge made several breakthroughs, but he did not press in all at once like he did before.
, but sent the ball to the center to slow down the rhythm. I am afraid this is Wenger's deliberate arrangement to save energy for the second half. However, I think it would be better if I could score a goal. After all, Arsenal is playing at home. Originally, Arsenal was playing at home.
The psychological advantage prevails.”
Yan Qiang stared at the screen closely, feeling a little anxious. After all, Arsenal's defense was also in a lot of trouble.
"Xiao!" At this time, there was a dead ball on the court. Flamini stood on the sidelines to prepare for the ball. Wenger suddenly stood up and shouted to Xiao Ge on the court. He crossed his left middle finger and index finger, and then
He immediately returned to his seat.
When Xiao Ge saw Wenger's gesture, he didn't express anything and continued to catch the ball honestly.
Flamini threw the ball to Xiao Ge, but Gerrard and Finnan had already locked up their positions to prevent Xiao Ge from catching the ball easily.
Xiao Ge jumped up high and easily headed the ball towards the feet of Pires beside him.
After Pires got the ball, he immediately launched an attack. Alonso immediately came up to defend. Pires swayed his feet and suddenly turned his body to the right, preparing to pass the opponent, but Crouch had already come over. Pires was relaxed.
He gave the ball backwards and returned it directly to Toure's feet.
After Toure unloaded the ball, he got ahead of Garcia and sent it to Flamini.
After Flamini got the ball, he flicked his right foot and kicked the ball high. The ball flew forward, where two figures were already chasing him.
Xiao Ge glanced behind him for a moment, roughly calculated the ball's landing point, and rushed out directly. Gerald was also chasing after him, and the two faced each other again.
Xiao Ge was the first to get stuck, but Gerald was not to be outdone and got stuck directly on Xiao Ge's waist. The two refused to give in to each other.
With a soft "pop" sound, Xiao Ge puffed up his chest, stopped the ball, and dropped it at his feet. However, Gerrard pulled him behind him and he couldn't move at all. Xiao Ge stepped on the ball first, and then his body shook.
, his feet kept pulling the ball, his waist kept twisting, trying to turn around.~
Gerrard was squeezed behind Xiao Ge and could not hook the ball at all. Moreover, Xiao Ge's shaking also caused Gerrard's center of gravity to be constantly thrown away. Gerrard was already at a disadvantage.
With a soft "tap-tap" sound, Xiao Ge moved his foot and moved the outside instep of his right foot. The ball was immediately sent to the feet of Pi Lei who came from the left, and Xiao Ge quickly pulled away and entered the middle.
Alonso followed Pires closely, and when Pires moved, he also got close to him.
After Pires got the ball, he was about to pass Alonso, but he was hit by his body and couldn't resist. Pires did not change his upper body, knocked his heel, and when Xiao Ge ran over, he sent a delicate pass.
.
Xiao Ge strode forward, and Haman also caught up. At this time, Xiao Ge did not choose to pass the ball. At the moment when the two were close, his body suddenly stopped. He saw Haman getting the ball with his right foot and stepped on the ball.
, a light turn of the body, a smart pull of the ball with the right foot, a perfect connection with the left foot, a move, a Marseille slalom, and passed Haman gracefully.
"Wow, my God, it's so beautiful!" "Is Xiao dancing?!" "It's incredible, he's not using any force at all!"...
Xiao Ge's light and free passing made Arsenal and his fans cheer wildly, but their eyes soon fell on the running Xiao Ge, expecting him to be able to complete the game.
After passing Hamann, it was not easy for Xiao Ge. Gerrard was already closely guarding him, and Kronkamp also caught up with Garcia and Hamann behind him. Xiao Ge
Suddenly he was surrounded by four players.
Seeing Kronkamp coming over to form a double-team with Gerrard, Xiao Ge's pace suddenly changed, and he opened up again, then suddenly decreased, then his forward body swayed, and his feet pulled, buckled, and flicked.
, in less than a second, he swung Kronkamp's center of gravity to his left side, followed Xiao Ge's body twist in the opposite direction, and flashed past Kronkamp's right side.
Gerald knew it was going to be bad when Xiao Ge added, but his explosive power simply couldn't keep up, and he saw that he was out of his control again.
By the time Gerrard caught up with him, Xiao Ge had already completed his move and slipped past him. Even Gerrard was too late to pull him away. Harman and Garcia also failed to keep up with Xiao Ge's pace.
At this time, Xiao Ge had already broken through the siege of four people. After taking a few more steps, the entire Liverpool defense was completely exposed at Xiao Ge's feet, directly facing Hyypia and others.
Van Persine was ready to take over, and Henry moved to the left again. Pires and Ljungberg were already active on the wing. The entire Liverpool defense was in turmoil and was in danger.
"Get up there, hurry up, don't let him shoot!"
After Xiao Ge broke through the defense, there was no defense at all at the front of Liverpool's penalty area, forming a vacuum zone. Benitez roared and screamed, feeling a little uneasy.
No need to be reminded by Benitez, no defender will let Xiao Ge roam in the penalty area. You must know that Xiao Ge is known as the "King of Heavy Artillery", and his powerful shot is famous in Euro 6.
Seeing that Xiao Ge was getting closer and closer, and had landed on a large arc, Hyypia hurriedly grabbed him, got close to him, made a sharp leap, and jumped out with a flying shovel.
Xiao Ge glanced at Hyypia and saw Hyypia's ferocious movements. He hurriedly paused, twisted his left ankle, flicked the ball, turned to his side, and nimbly avoided Hyypia's flying tackle.
Xiao Ge stepped out of the space without any stagnation in his movements. Without stopping with his left foot, he followed up with a curved ball that flew into the penalty area.
Carragher wanted to block it, but the ball went too fast and passed directly under his crotch. He tried to pull Henry beside him, but it was too late.
At the moment when Xiao Ge passed the ball, Van Persie and Henry had already separated. Alonso and Kronkamp had just returned to defend. Carragher was run away by these two men. His thoughts stopped and he followed in a flash.
Henry's start was too fast. In this moment, he was already one position ahead.
Finnan behind him was already attracted by Pires. Xiao Ge's ball flew to the left, and Pires also hit it, forcing him to turn around. But in this space, Henry had already thrown away Carla.
He took the lead and intercepted the ball halfway.
Henry took advantage of the situation and directly formed a single shot. Reina was not slow to react and came out first to block the angle of Henry's shot.
Henry rubbed the ball with the inside of his right foot on one side of his body, and it was his signature shot into the far corner. The ball drew a high arc, bypassed Reina's extremely stretched body, and hit the net.
"gooooooooooooo~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~1, Thierry, Thierry, king, king scored for us. In the 43rd minute of the game, we took the lead, wonderful arc
, the intoxicating arc, our king is still so accurate, one to zero, we scored!!!"
"king!king!king!king!king!king!"..........
Senk's cheers completely detonated Highbury. Arsenal fans chanted slogans, worshiped the fans, and vented their emotions. The huge roar was like a flash flood.
Thierry put his hand to his ear and listened to the fans shouting for him, then turned around and hugged Xiao Ge who came to celebrate. Arsenal's players also crowded to the sidelines to accept the cheers of the fans.
"It's so beautiful, Matthew, have you seen it? Our guess is right. Xiao's position in the central midfielder is Arthur's real tactic. The ball just now is very similar to the ball just opened. It uses Robert and Xiao to change positions.
This caused confusion in Liverpool's defense, and then others created a gap, and finally Thierry and others completed the fatal blow."
"Yes, with this change, Xiao's tasks are heavier. Other players should not rush around the field like in previous games, and their physical energy consumption will be smaller. During that period just now, Arsenal stopped playing, and other players' physical strength was also maximized.
He was able to save the last blow and was able to run away completely. Arthur may have been a little poor in on-the-spot planning, but his tactics are definitely commendable."
"Haha, then Arsenal's players must be able to correctly implement Arthur's tactics. I thought that after Dennis, it would be difficult for Arthur to find a tactical executor. Unexpectedly, the rise of Xiao this season will allow Arthur to better complete his own
arrangements."
"Well, now it's Raphael's turn to be anxious, but fortunately the first half is about to end. Let's see how Raphael will change."
Benitez is extremely depressed now. As soon as he scored a goal, he knew that he had been tricked by Wenger. At first, he thought that Xiao Ge's opening pass was an accident. Now it seems that he deliberately arranged it. Later, he thought that Xiao Ge's opening pass was an accident.
The reason for not playing like that anymore is to maintain physical strength, and also to allow your players to adapt to Arsenal's rhythm, so as to numb the carelessness. In the end, when the rhythm changes, your players will be fooled.
Thinking of this, Benitez couldn't help but cursed: "Damn, the French guy is really an old fox."
However, Benitez quickly retracted his thoughts and thought about countermeasures, but he didn't have any clue because he didn't know how Xiao's position changed in the second half. Now it seems that it is probably still a conventional style of play. Arsenal's physical fitness is not enough.
They will use this tactic for a long time.
"Well done, Thierry, what a pity..."
Compared with Benitez's depression, Wenger felt much better. The moment he saw Henry score, Wenger knew that he had made the right bet. However, there was a trace of regret in Wenger's smile, if it were not for his physical fitness.
, he really wanted to keep Xiao Ge and Pi Lei changing like this all the time. This style of play was too sinister, like laser shooting, precise and efficient, too deadly.
However, although this style of play consumes less physical energy than before, it is very demanding on movement and penetration. It requires players to be highly concentrated and to cooperate with each other. According to Arsenal's current physical condition, these aspects are not so easy.
arrived.
If there is a slight deviation and coordination cannot be formed, Arsenal's offense will become disorganized and unorganized, and Liverpool's midfield advantage will be more obvious. Therefore, Wenger just wants to stabilize and hit the fatal blow.
Wenger understands that this style of play can only be done occasionally, not only due to physical limitations, but also the players' running-in is also very important, but Wenger is also determined to try such changes in the future to fully unleash Xiao Ge's abilities.
"Liverpool, go forward!!" "Goal, goal!!" "Go against them, go against them!!"...
Seeing that their team was lagging behind, the Liverpool fans gave up. The cheers of more than 2,000 away fans were loud enough to reverberate throughout Highbury. As Liverpool's attack unfolded, they suddenly overshadowed the 'defense' of the Arsenal fans.
The sound of 1ang.
Liverpool was scored by Arsenal. Everyone felt a sense of frustration. No one expected that Arsenal, which had been dull for the first half, would suddenly change their rhythm. Xiao Ge tore apart their defense alone. In the end, it felt like
There were holes in his defense, as if one or two people were missing, and he was beaten single-handedly from the middle.
Feeling aggrieved, of course Liverpool wanted to get it back. Gerrard led his players to counterattack immediately. After getting the ball on the right, he faced Xiao Ge's defense and passed the ball to Alonso without entangled with him.
Although Alonso's body does not look very strong, his impact is not bad at all. Facing Pires' defense, he directly played a one-two with Hamann, and then rushed directly through the Arsenal midfielder.
Interception, Silva hurriedly came over to block it.
Alonso followed the trend and sent it to his right wing. Kronkamp's strong body directly squeezed Ljungberg's defense. Seeing Eboue blocking him, he sent it gently. Warnock's lightning-like goal
He flashed out from behind and followed with a cross, catching him off guard.
"Damn it, skinny guy, watch your heart." "Press him, hold him down!!" "Squeeze him away, squeeze him away, don't let him header!!"...Arsenal
When the fans saw Crouch running into the penalty area, they burst out with all kinds of shouts and stared nervously into the penalty area.
Crouch stuck into Arsenal's penalty area like a high stick. Senderos was also smart and kept squeezing his waist while pulling. Toure also quickly tightened his position to prevent him from jumping up.
Crouch felt like there was a thousand kilograms of weight on his waist, and he couldn't exert any strength at all. He swept his left corner behind him, fought hard, and managed to touch the ball. He rubbed it behind him, but the ball was still in the penalty area.
The sound of "tat, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap" was heard constantly, and the players from both sides scrambled into a group.
At this time, Arsenal's penalty area was in a mess, and the ball landed about eleven meters away from the goal. Flamini, Garcia, Xiao Ge, Alonso and others all rushed over.
Flamini was the first to reach the goal, and just as he was about to kick the ball out, a force came from behind, and the ball disappeared under his feet.
Gerrard also grabbed the ball from behind, 'sneak-attacked' Flamini and snatched the ball away directly. After Gerrard got the ball, he didn't pause at all. He moved his feet sideways and dodged Flamini.
Ramini blocked the ball, and when Luan followed up, he fired a powerful and heavy shot.
"Woo woo woo" "Damn it, why did I fall at Stephen's feet?"...
“It’s too bang, go in.” “Oh oh oh, there’s a chance.”…
There was a crisp "pop" sound, and the ball made a strange zigzag line, less than half a meter away from the upright, and flew out of the baseline.
"Well done, Robert." "You're welcome, Jens."
Lehmann, who had escaped the disaster, hugged Pires' head gratefully. When Gerrard hit the goal, Lehmann's line of sight was completely blocked by the crowd. Coupled with the arc of the ball, it was impossible to judge the direction of the ball.
The route, but it was roughly known that it was within the goal range, and I thought I was going to concede a goal.
However, at the last moment, Pires stretched out his thigh to block the ball. However, this ball was also very dangerous. You must know that it was probably an own goal.
"Hoo ho ho ho, thank you Robert." "Stephen is really scary." "God bless, God bless."...
"Damn, how did he show up there?" "Oh my god, our goal." "Asshole, I won't be so lucky next time."...
Different sighs from fans on both sides echoed in the sky above Highbury.
"Arsenal's luck is really good." Benitez muttered with gritted teeth. He thought he could equalize at the last moment, but he didn't expect that there would be an extra kick to interfere.
"Huh, that's it." "When did Robert retreat so deep?" "It's okay, it's okay." "It would be nice if he scored another goal."...
Arsenal's bench was also silent in exclamations. Although they did not play, they could still feel the hardship of their teammates on the field.
However, all eyes soon returned to the field and fell on the figure of a person.
