Chapter 1015 Devil

The main battlefield of football is always on the court. Whether it is the battle of words before the game or the fighting of the club's senior management, at most it is to make the game more eye-catching. If you want to win the game, it depends on the players' performance on the court.

The first match of the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals was Barcelona and Porto, Manchester United and Roma. In the first leg, both Manchester United and Barcelona won away and outperformed their opponents. There was no suspense in the second leg. Manchester United and Barcelona defeated their opponents again and easily advanced to the semi-finals.

Although Chelsea lost to Fenerbahce in the first leg away game, with Chelsea's strength, the probability of a reversal at Stamford Bridge Stadium is very high. Therefore, the focus of the media and fans is mainly on the strong dialogue between Arsenal and Liverpool.

This is the fourth dialogue between Liverpool and Arsenal this season. Even if it is Liverpool and Arsenal, they have played four consecutive games, and the fans are still a little aesthetically tired. If it weren't for the team's promotion and elimination, perhaps Anfield Stadium might not be full.

Liverpool and Arsenal must make serious preparations for such an important game, because they played three games in the previous game, especially the last two games. Just a few days ago, both sides knew the bottom line. Not to mention the main players, even the substitutes were very familiar with them. In other words, no matter how adjustments and changes Arsenal and Liverpool make, the opponent will not be caught off guard. Then, they simply don’t do anything about changes, just rank the strongest lineup to target the opponent’s weaknesses and make a last-minute battle with the opponent.

Seeing the opponent's starting player come out, Benitez and Wenger both put their hearts in their stomachs, but they were still worried that the opponent's deployment would not be as expected.

The fans in the stands experienced a Champions League and two league games, and their sense of expectation and freshness were gone, but they still supported their team with all their enthusiasm. The uniform team songs and the huge applause from time to time made the Liverpool players who walked into the stadium suddenly feel refreshed and their fighting spirit was soaring.

After the game started, Arsenal was at a disadvantage and had to score a goal to advance. They played proactively and took the lead in launching the attack.

Liverpool plays at home, but they hold a valuable away goal. Even if they do nothing, they can advance smoothly. In this case, Liverpool actually lacks the desire to attack. Because of this period, Liverpool's game is quite tense, and Benitez has no other idea, just to win the final victory and advance successfully. As for whether the game is good or not, and whether the fans are satisfied or not, Benitez has no time to take care of it.

Life and death are at stake, and I feel a little angry again. Today, Arsenal performed very well, with all kinds of tacit cooperation and clever excellence. They played at this time. There were many Arsenal fans coming today. They were infected by their own team and burst into sounds and screams from time to time.

After almost half an hour of this game, Arsenal could not make a quick attack and finally revealed a small flaw. When the attack reached the frontcourt, a mistake occurred and the ball was passed to the Liverpool players.

Liverpool seems passive and does not seem to be too enterprising, but they definitely hope to win the game, and at least score a goal and feel at ease. Now that the opportunity has come, Liverpool's forwards and forwards start to act immediately. Some of them run to the side, opening up space for teammates to drive the ball, and some run forward to meet their teammates' passes.

It was Mascherano who dribbled past a defensive player and continued to move forward.

At this moment, Chen Yu, who had been inserted before, had already thrown away the player who was close to defending him, and there was still room for a position to defend him. Chen Yu immediately reached out to ask for the ball, but Mascherano did not pass the ball. Chen Yu did not dare to accelerate again, and he would be offside again. Chen Yu suddenly changed direction quickly and inserted into the gap between the central defender and the full-back.

Seeing Chen Yu suddenly inserted into a diagonal and shook off the defensive player, Mascherano decisively passed the ball towards Chen Yu.

Chen Yu did not just lower his head to run. When he was running, he also looked back at Mascherano who was riding the ball. He found that the Argentine was passing the ball. Chen Yu immediately slowed down and ran sideways, waiting for the ball to roll, and also observed the running of the defenders and defensive players.

The ball arrives! The central defender runs to the side, and the full-back runs to the middle, preparing to attack Chen Yu, preventing him from receiving the ball or shooting into the penalty area.

Chen Yu did not follow the ball to kill the penalty area, but knocked the ball across the middle, and he also changed direction to run towards the middle.

This was an unexpected change. Central defender Toure was caught off guard and was directly shaken to the ground. The player who followed Chen Yu ran away was completely shaken away by Chen Yu.

"Okay!" There was a lot of applause and applause in the stands.

Chen Yu had the opportunity to rush into the penalty area at this time, but Chen Yu gave up this opportunity. After catching up with the ball, he directly pulled his feet and shot angrily.

A cold shot of 25 or meter! The ball went straight to the upper left corner of the goal.

The speed is fast and the angle is tricky, so it is better to choose when the goalkeeper cannot tell whether to break through or shoot. This poses too great a threat to the goalkeeper.

Goalkeeper Amunia made two preparations, but because of his two preparations, when Chen Yu shot, he could not pounce at the incoming ball at the fastest speed. He missed the best moment. When Amunia jumped up and saved, it was too late. The ball flew past Amunia's hand and flew into the net against the post.

1:0

Liverpool easily took the lead.

“goalgoalgoal…”

The fans jumped and cheered, and the applause instantly rang through Anfield.

After Chen Badminton scored, he did not have much excitement expression. He stood in the center of the court with his hands raised high and accepted the cheers of the fans.

The more Chen Yu stood indifferently, the more excited and excited his fans were. "Seeing that, Chen didn't take the goal to heart!" "I didn't break through the Gunners goal any time, what's there to be happy about!" "I want this style! Awesome!" "Ah! So handsome!"

Chen Yu's pretentious style did not last for a few seconds. His teammates rushed over and rushed on him. Two or three people came over and overwhelmed him to the ground.

Benitez on the sidelines just clenched his fists when he scored the goal and acted very calmly.

The 1-to-1 away result has given Benitez a reassurance. With that away goal, both Benitez and the players are no longer nervous and are not afraid of Arsenal scoring at Anfield. Benitez believes that with his past experience, beating Arsenal is no problem. Chen Yu's goal is just a verification of Benitez's vision before the game.

Wenger's eyebrows stood up, and he had the urge to curse. The central defender was so easily shaken. Not to mention, where did the people who were guarding Chen Yu go? Why did Amunia react so slowly, 25 and 6 meters, such a long-range goalkeeper should have a chance to save.

But thinking about it, they were facing Chen Yu, Wenger endured it and finally didn't get angry. After all, the situation was not too bad. The 1-to-1 result at home decided to score a goal when he came to Anfield Stadium. It was still the same now. It turned out that he was just a goal but he was the lead. Now he scored a goal, but he had a chance as long as he scored a goal.

Wenger waved Fabregas over, "Seske! Continue to attack! Shoot long when you have the chance! Attract the opponent's defender, break through more and divide the side, press Liverpool's defender and midfielder together, and then give the opportunity to cross from the wing, so that the players inserted in the back row can shoot!"

Wenger briefly explained to Fabregas, then walked back to the coach's seat with a cold face, sat down, crossed his hands, and waited for the game to start again.

VIP private room

Both Liverpool bosses were there, their faces were full of joy, and they were slamming each other, and they tried their best to praise Chen Yu and Mascherano, as if they had forgotten that Arsenal's general manager Hillwood was still sitting in the box.

Hillwood tried his best to calm himself down. He was very dissatisfied with the current situation of Arsenal and was full of doubts about the game between Arsenal and Liverpool. He felt that this was like an unsolved mystery. No matter whether Arsenal played well or poorly, he could never win the game. In the last game, he suppressed Liverpool almost all, but in the end he only got a draw. It was nothing to be able to change the status quo, but he could not find the reason for his failure, which made Hillwood feel like a doggy.

The phone call came. Hillwood looked at the number, immediately got up and walked out of the box, and went to the passage to answer the phone.

"I played well at the start but lost the ball. What's the reason?" asked a rosy voice.

"There are still some aspects that we have not done well, Mr. Kroenke." Hillwood answered Kroenke calmly.

"I think it's not that we didn't do it well, but that China Chen did it so well. He is the devil. Do you want to subdue this devil?" At this moment, Kroenke's tone was more like a devil.

"How to subdue?" Hillwood asked subconsciously.

"There are two ways. Only money can subdue the devil, buy him over, or buy stronger players."
