"Robin, Robin, it's out of the way, it's out of the way! Open the door!"
"Oh! Post!? What a pity, Robin's shot missed by just a little, and it failed to live up to Thierry's beautiful goal at the top line. ([] No pop-up window)"
In the fifty-sixth minute of the game, Arsenal launched the most dangerous attack since the beginning of the second half.
Xiao Ge and Cesc Fabregas made an exquisite one-two, knocking the ball to Henry on the penalty area line before Gerrard.
After Henry got the ball, he swept his heel into the penalty area. Under the cover of Hleb, Van Persie suddenly started to sprint and rushed into the penalty area. After flicking the ball with his left foot, he suddenly shook several times in succession and passed Hyypia's goal.
Defensively, he shot with his left foot, but under the interference of Haman behind him, it missed the post by a hair.
"Phew, lucky Liverpool. Obviously, Arsenal's offense strengthened a lot in the second half. Liverpool is on the defensive."
"Flamini comes on. Although his forward penetration ability is not as outstanding as Ashley's, he can make Xiao not have to worry too much behind him and devote most of his energy to the attack. This is very detrimental to Liverpool."
"Liverpool launched attacks on the left several times, but to no avail. Cisse was stared at by Flamini, and Arsenal has returned to normal. Liverpool must change. They are behind now. As the game progresses,
This is not a good situation."
...
Ten minutes before the start of the second half, Arsenal regained the advantage on the field, which made Liverpool fans very worried. The team was lagging behind, and there was no sign of a tie. They expected Liverpool to change their minds and opinions began to rise.
"Pay attention to your position. Don't miss anyone!"
Benitez had no way of knowing what happened in Arsenal's midfield, which allowed Arsenal's exquisite offense to appear again, but Flamini's appearance on the field greatly compromised the strategy he had set up to target Arsenal's configuration loopholes.
, there was no way. Benitez had no choice but to shout loudly and ask his own players to respond according to the tactics arranged before the game.
Benitez clearly understands that now is not the time to engage in a serious confrontation with Arsenal, and the opponent's offensive continues unabated. With Liverpool's configuration and the opponent's attack, there is no guarantee that he will be able to retreat every time. The only way is to defend and counterattack.
It is the most suitable and most suitable for your own player configuration.
"Toure took a long shot! Reina missed the ball and Robin got the ball before Riise. Arsenal still has a chance,"
"Hleb got through and passed! Carragher swept out, oh. The ball fell to Arsenal again."
"Xiao, Xiao, the ball went in! Hyypia pushed it out, Alonso took it..., Alonso was careless and was intercepted by Cesc Fabregas behind him."
"Thierry, Thierry started. Dunk it! Hit the door! Renner, Renato is out!"
And! Robin strafe!
OMG!!! Carragher, the great Carragher, he saved Liverpool on the goal line!
And, and more!!! Fabregas is unguarded! Empty goal!!!
Hit the door!
Oh my god??!! Cesc Fabregas, empty goal, why are you using so much strength? It’s counterproductive! Just a gentle push will do! Too anxious, too anxious.”…
Benitez's defensive stance allowed Arsenal, who had let go, to continue to have the advantage on the field, and also allowed Liverpool's defensive pressure to continue to increase.
After fifty-eight minutes of the game, another test was completed. Under the leadership of Xiao Ge, Arsenal, who were running crazy, completely surrounded Liverpool and attacked. The game turned into an offensive and defensive battle in the half. The tight rhythm made the on-site commentators time and time again.
Following the restlessness, Liverpool's tenacious defense also extinguished Arsenal's offense time and time again, and the atmosphere of tension permeated the entire stadium.
"Papa Papa Papa Papa Papapa Papa"
"G——o! Arsenal!!!"
eon——Xiao!!!”
"Thierry!!!"
"Destroy them, defeat them!!!"
...
"you'll never walk alone

..."
The whole audience roared and applauded as Arsenal's attacks hit the Millennium Stadium like thunder.
The Liverpool fans were extremely nervous and felt very uncomfortable being suppressed by the passionate yellow sound. Just like their own team's defense, they could only inspire the team with their singing, "You'll Never Walk Alone" floating over the stadium over and over again.
"Beep!" "Beep!" "Beep!"...
You push me, dodge and move around, and there are scenes of players from the two teams getting together everywhere. The confrontation between strength, will, technology, and speed is full of them. Weber follows them back and forth again and again, because he is highly concentrated but
I don't feel tired either.
The impact of power, the competition of speed, the roar of will, the agility of skills... The suffocating rhythm makes people unable to turn their attention, and the feast-like game makes everyone immersed in it.
Sweat was wet on Gerald's resolute face, but it did not blur his goal. He followed Xiao Ge like a tarsal maggot. Confrontation was their only topic. The difference was that during this period, Xiao Ge was more interested in sex.
On the offensive end.
Ashley Cole was removed and replaced by Flamini, who was more compliant with tactics. Xiao Ge did not have to worry about his back on the left, and the entire Arsenal team stepped up their offensive in order to win the game as soon as possible, so
During Gerald's confrontation with Xiao Ge, the pressure increased a lot, and his physical energy was being consumed unconsciously.
"What a beautiful offensive and defensive battle. Both Arsenal's offense and Liverpool's defense are of the highest level. Arsenal dominates the field, but no one will say that Liverpool's defense is ugly. On the contrary, what I want to say is exactly the same.
It’s Liverpool’s performance. No team can achieve their level of concentration during the game, and you can even feel that their will envelopes the field. No player can escape their attention.”
"Liverpool's defense can even be said to have reached a different kind of control over the game. It's enough to see how well prepared they are. Only top teams, top opponents, and top games can allow a team to reach this level.
.”
"Liverpool's players perfectly demonstrated the tenacity of English football. This is definitely a textbook defense. Being able to firmly occupy their defensive line in such a fierce attack as Arsenal, the concentration and will of the Liverpool players are the best for all teams.
a model.”
"The attack was sharp and the defense was solid. The desire of the two teams to win the game is really surprising. What a strong spiritual force supporting them. Oh my God, half of the second half of the game has already passed. I can't believe it." I didn’t even feel it. They took away time!”
...
Just when Fabregas lost the empty goal, sixty-three minutes had passed unknowingly. Liverpool's solid defense was praised by everyone. What kind of opponents Arsenal faced in the past. No matter it was the Italian defense representative Juventus, Chelsea, which plays utilitarian football, or Manchester United, which has always been mentally strong, none of them are so tired in attacking. That is a kind of fatigue that can bring down a team.
Under the surface of Arsenal's fierce attack and Liverpool's solid defense, Benitez began to consciously let his players attack, taking advantage of Arsenal's psychological fatigue of being unable to win for a long time and preparing to counterattack.
It was during this period that Arsenal's potential problems began to surface. The players' physical fitness was rapidly depleted, and they were already at a disadvantage without realizing it.
Arsenal have played too many games this season, especially the main players, in the past month. Including the make-up games, they have played four or five more games than Liverpool. For the league and Champions League, the task is quite heavy, and the schedule Quite dense.
Liverpool was just waiting for work, and the whole team was fully mentally prepared before the game - defensive counterattack. Therefore, although Liverpool was surrounded and attacked, they did not panic mentally. It was such a peaceful mentality and a bit of luck that allowed Liverpool to defend Being so stable, and having defended for most of the game now, it’s time to build on the momentum.
Liverpool's third line slowly pressed forward and began to press Arsenal step by step, trying to take advantage of the opponent's physical disadvantage and mental imbalance to tie the score.
"Liverpool started to press out and the ball was still contesting in the midfield."
"Arsenal's attack has slowed down a bit."
"Alonso suddenly tried to control the ball."
"Oh, what a pity, Crouch missed it."
"Liverpool's attack is improving."
...
Comparing the physical fitness of the players of the two teams, it is no surprise that the Arsenal players are at the lower end of the scale. Arsenal's offense has slowed down unconsciously. This is simply not something that the Arsenal players can control. Liverpool also has no control over the ball. It's getting tougher, and the situation seems a little delicate.
However, the situation on the football field has always been unpredictable. Just when Benitez was looking forward to gradually turning over, the ghost of football appeared again.
No matter how good the abacus is, it cannot be so accurate in terms of details. There will always be someone who will surprise him, and there is such a player on the court.
This player is undoubtedly Xiao Ge. All the players who have played against Xiao Ge without exception have cursed in their hearts: "This damn monster" because of Xiao Ge's abnormal physical fitness.
The reason why Xiao Ge is known as the 'rich terminator' is because Xiao Ge's physical fitness can support him to complete a series of actions in the final stage and kill his opponent. Even if he feels tired now, it may be due to his high mental concentration and tight will. tiredness.
This was not the case for Gerrard. Not only was he mentally tired due to the high level of confrontation, but he was also the core of Liverpool's offense and defense in this game. Coupled with the injury to the instep of his left foot, the entire confrontation with Xiao Ge naturally consumed a huge amount of money. He was the first to reach the physical bottleneck.
By this time, the entire Arsenal team knew about Xiao Ge's abnormal physical fitness, so although Arsenal's offense slowed down, they became more determined to deliver the ball to Xiao Ge.
"Beep——!"
In the 68th minute of the game, Weber blew the whistle again.
Alonso passed the ball to Cisse in front of him, but Cisse rushed too fast and stopped the ball. Silva made a sliding tackle and snatched the ball away.
Fabregas took the ball and turned around quickly. Before his opponent could come to defend, he followed up with a through ball from the left.
Xiao Ge was like a sharp blade, piercing directly into Liverpool's ribs. He knocked the arch of his foot, and his body was as fast as an arrow from the sky, gradually getting rid of Gerrard.
Gerrard suddenly felt that he was short of breath. He couldn't keep up with him in the first step. The gap was too big, Alonso was no longer behind him, and Finnan and Carragher were too far away, but the other side rushed forward.
It was so ferocious that Gerrard had no time to hesitate. He threw a shovel and couldn't care less. Defeat him. Defeat him at all costs! (To be continued...)
