Chapter 559 Are you asleep?
Liverpool's defensive response was so fast that it was fully demonstrated in the subsequent constant confrontation tests.
Except for the two forwards who did not participate in the team's pressing and defense, they achieved the ultimate protection in all aspects.
With the cheers of Anfield fans, with such steady playing style, Liverpool quickly captured the opportunity.
It was the 30th minute of the game. Arsenal's offense once again came to an abrupt end with the Reds' siege and blocked. The ball under Giroud was cut off by Charlie Adam and Scotter.
Then, Charlie Adam kicked the ball out and pulled back, and then turned his head and attacked forward.
"Liverpool launched a counterattack on the spot. The Gunners midfielder was the only one who was in charge. He quickly moved towards Gerald and passed the ball directly. The ball was given to Kuyt on the wing."
Because the Gunners' formation was forward, Gerald obviously rushed to pull away the opponent's defense line.
Facing such an open conspiracy from his opponent, Arsenal did not have much to do. Alves rushed towards the opponent's wing forward on the right, while Carol and Suarez were handed over to Squillac and Phil Jones.
However, before Alves touched Kuyt, who was holding the ball, the ball was passed out again by him.
"Carol took the ball with his back. He stuck Squillac behind him, passed the ball from the side, and gave the ball to Gerald who was receiving it. He went straight from the middle and was within Gerald's range!!!"
Nervous and hastily, when Gerald made a move to pull his feet and prepare to hit the ball, Phil Jones killed him desperately.
"Fake shots and real buckles, it's been buckled! Phil Jones paid the price for his youth~~~"
"Swish!"
The ball was directly pushed out after Gerald entered the penalty area. Gibbs, who came to defend, had no time to touch the ball.
"Suarez! He got the ball on the left side of the penalty area. There are no defensive players around him. Skip!!!"
"Bang!"
Even though Fabianski quickly made a move to save the ball in the direction where Suarez was after the ball suddenly moved to the position, he still did not roll faster than the ball rolled past Suarez.
"The ball is in!!! Suarez calmly shot~ The ball flew into the goal, 1-0!!!"
Zhan Jun's shouting made every Red Army fan feel excited. At Anfield, countless Red Army fans naturally shouted out the moment the ball flew into the goal.
"boom!!!"
"Liverpool! Liverpool! We are unyielding fighters~~~"
The drum beats the sky and the noise filled the entire stadium. Arsenal players looked at Liverpool's celebration helplessly. The goal was clearly lost, and there was almost nothing to say.
Wenger on the sidelines was also a little helpless. Facing his opponent's attack and efficiency so quickly, it is indeed an easy thing to not keep up with the goal concealment.
"Compression formation~, get closer to each other!"
The first direct adjustment was made on the sidelines. Thirty minutes after the game started, the professor did not want to make big changes at this moment.
Everything is not determined yet, it is just that the opponent's counterattack was seized by a big push and pressed down on the opportunity. It is not yet time for a big adjustment to make.
"The morale of Arsenal was not hit much, they quickly put the ball back to the kick-off point, and one goal behind didn't seem to mean anything to the team."
When Zhan Jun was excited to recount Liverpool's goal, Liu Jianhong's attention was mainly on Arsenal. Seeing the Gunners wearing yellow jerseys walking to the serving position calmly, his mentality couldn't help but calm down.
"Liverpool's celebration has also ended. The Reds are standing back and the game will be kicked off again!"
The passionate time ended, and after the re-telection, Arsenal quickly showed an active offensive posture.
They are still very active in trying to attack the opponent's defense, but they are also doing more stability in defense than before. Ramsey and Wilhel have begun to become the team's left-behind midfielders frequently.
This made Liverpool's attempt to seize the Gunners' offense and press the opportunity to launch a counterattack frequently in the subsequent time.
Unfortunately, Giroud and Liu Feng's shooting boots were not put on in this game. When the whistle sounded at the break, the score remained 1-0 and did not change.
The two teams returned from the stadium channel, leaving only the gun fans under the suppression of their opponents at home and the Reds fans in the entire Anfield.
“…”
In the Gunners' locker room, looking at his players, Wenger pulled the tactical board over and didn't speak until the team members were worried by the silence that the professor spoke again.
"Are you sleeping in the first half?"
“…”
As soon as he opened his mouth, he became an old Yin-Yang man. Faced with the head coach's sarcasm, the Arsenal players who did not perform well in the first half, whether they were defending or offense, all lowered their heads and didn't speak.
"I said, did you fall asleep in the first half!!!?"
"No coach!!!"
It was not until the professor repeated his words for the second time that Liu Feng was the first to take the lead in responding loudly.
He was also very dissatisfied with his performance of frequently missing opportunities in the first half. In his opinion, there were several opportunities that he should have made steady progress when he was in good shape.
With the captain taking the lead, the other team members naturally responded loudly to the coach.
"It's good if you haven't fallen asleep. I want to see you sober in the second half, whether it's offense or defense."
Nodding with satisfaction, Wenger turned around and quickly pulled the tactical board in his hand a few times.
"In the second half, we changed to 433. If the offensive player still cannot score, I will choose to substitute."
"learn!"
Walcott came to the winger position, and Liu Feng naturally came to the position where Giroud left side was retracted.
In fact, Liu Feng's position has never been a pure winger position. His activity space involves the midfield and most of the left positions. Both Giroud and the left midfield must give way to him.
Therefore, his responsibilities are often greater.
"Wilshire and Ramsey protect Gansu, and when you are defending, you are the two midfielders."
"clear!"
Subsequently, the professor arranged a new midfield layout. The team's 433 is like this when attacking, and in defense, it is actually 4213, which is undoubtedly a good restriction on the Reds midfield led by Gerald.
"Don't be afraid of your opponents and give full play to your strengths. We were in a long time in the second half, and they only had one goal ahead."
