Three hundred and sixtieth eight chapters omnipotent
"Raphael has made adjustments. Kronkamp and Hamann are on the field. Who will be replaced by the two midfielders? Alonso seems to be unable to support it anymore. Stephen's physical fitness has also been almost exhausted by Xiao. Who will be replaced?"
They?"
"Sure enough, Alonso is off." "Crouch? So Cisse is in front, but what about behind him?"
"Since Crouch was removed, why not replace him with Morientes? Liverpool is two goals behind now, and the two players he replaced are both defensive players."
...
After conceding another goal, Benitez quickly made adjustments, removing Alonso and Crouch and replacing them with Hamann and Kronkamp. These two players who are good at defense made everyone uncomfortable.
Understand his plan.
No matter how the game restarted, Liverpool's formation also changed a lot. Kronkamp guarded the right wing, while Hamann acted as his old defensive midfielder. Gerrard moved to the center, supporting the midfielder.
In front of Hamann, Cisse serves as the center forward, and Kewell is also closer to the center.
"I'm afraid it will be difficult for Arsenal to lose the ball. Rafael is going to win the ball at the last minute. Arsenal players are physically exhausted. At this time, Liverpool replaces two players with strong physical strength. It is obvious that they are going to press.
.”
"Beautiful, Raphael, I think I have predicted this situation before the game. Although Xiao looks invincible, Arsenal is lagging behind Liverpool in terms of physical reserves. This game is far from over.
.”
"Stephen's arrival in the middle is obviously to strengthen the offensive signal. His teammates behind him can ensure that he can devote himself to the frontcourt with more confidence. With this lineup, Liverpool's physical advantage is maximized. Arthur needs to adjust as soon as possible."
...
As the game continued, Benitez's tactical plan gradually became apparent.
In the 72nd minute of the game, Liverpool almost broke through Arsenal's goal.
Hamann intercepted Hleb's ball and sent it directly to the frontcourt. Gerrard and Kewell quickly played a one-two in the Arsenal midfield. Gerrard strode forward with the ball and passed it.
The pass was passed directly to Cisse who was ambushing Arsenal's penalty area. Cisse used his speed to rush into the penalty area and beat Lehmann with a counterattack. Unfortunately, Cisse's pass was too powerful and Gerrard did not receive it.
Sissoko's slide tackle was too late, the angle was too small, and it hit the post and flew out of the baseline.
"Fabregas simply couldn't handle Hamann and conceded the ball again."
"Flamini comes up. Kronkamp steals the ball!"
In the 73rd and 75th minutes of the game, Arsenal conceded the ball twice more, giving Liverpool another chance. The game was incorporated into Liverpool's rhythm, and Liverpool's third line gradually eroded Arsenal's half.
Wenger saw that Liverpool had strengthened and his own players were at a disadvantage in terms of physical fitness, so he finally made an adjustment and removed Henry and replaced him with Adebayor.
And now that Adebayor is on the court, Xiao Ge has to be more involved in the middle. Adebayor is much worse than Henry in breaking through with the ball. Cesc Fabregas, who consumes a lot of physical energy, goes to the wing more. Who
For Xiao Ge to be so versatile, Wenger must make full use of his versatility. Let him mainly guard the center, share the pressure of Cesc Fabregas, and connect the front and rear.
The fighting skills of the two coaches were also reflected on the court. After Benitez replaced two players, he quickly took the initiative on the scene, while Wenger sent in Adebayor, which also allowed Arsenal to gain a firm foothold.
At that time, the game fell into a state of anxiety.
"Seeing that the time is about to enter the last ten minutes, the situation is very unfavorable for Liverpool."
"If Raphael had replaced him earlier, he wouldn't have been so passive."
"It's really difficult to get two goals back."
...
"Oh, Rafael made another substitution, Morientes came on and replaced Cisse. Indeed, although Morientes' performance this season is not as good as people expected, don't question his all-roundness and his powerful impact.
It is the best weapon to deal with Arsenal, whose physical strength is seriously declining."
A somewhat helpless Benitez finally played all the cards in his hand. The three substitutions basically followed his own routine and rhythm. The progress of the game was similar to what he had imagined, but the score and difficulty of the game were not what he wanted.
It was predictable, especially the third goal, which completely disrupted all his plans.
Gerrard was out of position and Alonso cramped at the critical moment, giving Xiao Ge an absolute chance. It takes a lot of strength to win back one goal, so recovering two goals would not only be 20 points, but maybe 30 points.
Even fifty points, because this is a final that is a matter of life and death, and no one will give up, but Benitez has no choice. This is almost the best card in his hand.
Just when Benitez had just replaced Morientes and returned to the coaching bench, Liverpool suffered another heavy blow.
In the 81st minute of the game, Cesc Fabregas chased back Kronkamp and poked the ball behind him. Xiao Ge intercepted the ball immediately, followed the trend, and rushed out directly under Klonkamp's annoyed eyes.
“gogogogogog—o!”
"Oh oh oh, Xiao, Xiao's classic straight charge appears, Liverpool, Liverpool is in danger!"
"Stop him, stop him!"
"Don't let him pass!"
.....
As Xiao Ge started, the entire stadium instantly rioted. The Arsenal fans' blood boiled every time Xiao Ge moved the ball. They jumped up from their seats in surprise, while the Liverpool fans stood in horror.
After the season, they have seen too many scenes like this in Premier League highlights.
Different from the elegance of Henry riding through the level alone, Xiao Ge spends more time dribbling the ball, but it gives people an awe-inspiring wildness, a stronger visual effect, and the impact is like thousands of thunders, calming everyone.
"Don't let him get up, don't let him get up, surround him, surround him!!!"
Seeing the scene he was most afraid of before the game, Benitez couldn't restrain his anxiety and loudly asked his players to surround Xiao Ge.
Without Benitez's instructions, the Liverpool defenders, whose nerves had been provoked by Xiao Ge and were extremely sensitive, could no longer care about anything and rushed towards Xiao Ge one after another.
"Liverpool's defense collapsed!"
"At this time, Liverpool's defense has been completely emptied by Xiao Nong!"
"Big mistake!"
...
Although Fabregas consumes a lot of physical energy, his speed cannot be underestimated. Xiao Ge, who is surrounded by others, still understands his responsibilities - central midfielder, one point from the side. Fabregas, who has excellent ball sense, simply can't do it.
There is no need to stop the ball, just follow the path of the ball, there is a smooth road in front of you, and quickly penetrate into Liverpool's penalty area.
At this moment, Liverpool's defense had completely tilted to its right. After running for more than 20 meters, Fabregas finally met Liverpool's defender, Reina.
"Inside!!!"
When Fabregas stabbed into the Liverpool penalty area, Arsenal fans shouted excitedly, suddenly roaring like a beast. Shocking everyone's hearts, Fabregas also made his own choice. He flicked the outside of his right foot.
, Fabregas made Reina completely fail to save the ball.
"Beep——!"
"No!!!"
"**!!!"
...
"Yellow card, is this just a yellow card? Weber's penalty today was too merciful!"
"Reese's action is definitely worthy of a red card. Robin's goal is already empty."
"Rise stepped directly on Robin's foot."
...
The Liverpool fans were in despair. They looked at Webber pointing at the twelve yard line and stared in shock.
At this time, Arsenal fans were also dissatisfied because their team faced an empty-net opportunity, which was denied by the opponent. They were even more angry at Webber's penalty.
When Van Persie raised his foot to shoot, Riise suddenly came in from the side and stepped directly on Van Persie's foot, knocking Van Persie away.
Weber blew the whistle immediately. When he signaled the team doctor to come on, he directly gave Riise a yellow card. He made a penalty first, which poured cold water on the angry Arsenal. They were speechless.
The anger in Xiao Ge's heart was also high, because when Henry came off the field, he personally put the captain's armband on his body, but as the captain, he had no way to appeal when his team members were violated, which felt like a void.
He was really depressed. He knew that Weber wanted to calm down the incident, but the crazy feeling made Xiao Ge very uncomfortable and he held his breath.
"Robin, how do you feel?"
Knowing that there was no way to change, Xiao Ge didn't bother anymore, and the situation of Van Persie also made Xiao Ge a little worried. Colin had already asked the staff to bring a stretcher.
"It hurts too much. First, go down and take a look. I'm sorry Xiao, I want to finish the fight with you." Van Persie looked like he couldn't hold it anymore, and his expression was full of frustration.
"It's okay, we still have a game." Xiao Ge could only pat him on the shoulder comfortingly, feeling somewhat disappointed.
"Robin is really dying, Pires appears."
"Although Webber only gave a yellow card for this foul, Arsenal won a penalty, and this time Xiao stood at the twelve-yard position."
"Xiao took the penalty? Oh, my God, it's unbelievable, unbelievable. This is Xiao's first penalty kick this season. It's incredible. Seventy-one goals without a penalty kick. It's really full of magical events.
ah."
"Xiao has never taken a penalty, has he?! But it's no wonder. Arsenal have very few penalty kicks this season, and Thierry is in the team. It's not surprising. I believe there is nothing wrong with Xiao."
"Is there any problem? Even if Xiao takes the penalty for the first time, there is no problem. You must know that this is Xiao's first season and he has scored 71 goals. What is the concept? Please don't doubt Xiao."
"The Fourth of July, Xiao is going to have the Fourth of July."
"Reiner is so unfortunate!"
...
Henry and Van Persie are not on the court, and Xiao Ge is the captain. Naturally, the task of taking the penalty falls to him, and Fabregas will not compete with him.
Taking a penalty kick for the first time is indeed a brand new experience. This is done by myself in such a quiet environment during the game. No one interferes with me. I can choose various kicks, push shots, rub shots, and lob shots.
, center, right, left, you can completely think about it, which is really cool.
"call--"
His thoughts couldn't help but spin, score this goal, score this goal! Kill the game! Xiao Ge had to breathe a sigh of relief to focus his attention.
"Beep——"
Xiao Ge fixed his eyes and held a breath in his heart. Then kick them all out to calm his restless heart! When the whistle sounded, Xiao Ge started immediately, deliberately running at a constant speed, and suddenly - accelerated! Swinging his legs quickly!!!
