Chapter 709 Picking up the leak (1)
Liverpool achieved a fantastic start, and the morale of the entire team was greatly boosted. After the game started again, Liverpool was not conservative and still maintained the high-pressure situation before the goal, continuing to press Arsenal all the game, trying to expand the score and secure the victory.
Arsenal did not expect such a start. They were dreaming of defeating Liverpool four times a season when they were awakened by their former player Pennant's shot. The Arsenals, who were used to leading, were both shocked and angry at this, and then launched a fierce counterattack.
One side wants to expand the score and the other side wants to equalize the score, and the two sides have a fierce and exciting confrontation on the field.
Arsenal relies on their strong overall system, organizing the offense through fast and skillful short pass cooperation. In the backcourt, Arsenal's speed of advancing the game was accelerated, but the ball slowed down significantly after passing the middle circle, and the pass error rate also increased rapidly. This is because Liverpool pressed heavily in his half-court, and Arsenal's passing cooperation was suppressed.
If Arsenal is patient at this moment and continues to put pressure on Liverpool, under high pressure, Liverpool's defense will definitely have problems. As long as Arsenal can seize the opportunity brought by Liverpool's mistakes, it is not very difficult for them to equalize the score. However, Arsenal is very arrogant and they cannot accept the reality of falling behind Liverpool so quickly. They really want to equalize the score as soon as possible. Once they are blocked in the frontcourt, they quickly changed their offensive methods and began to make trouble from the two sides, hoping to use the two high points of Adebayo and Baptista to make goals for Henry, and use the small cooperation of three or four people in the frontcourt to open the situation, rather than patiently penetrating Liverpool's defense.
In the 8th minute of the game, Arsenal midfielder Fabregas made a long pass, and Liverpool's central defender Agh was on the scramble for the header with the little Warcraft Adebayo. The ball flew to the right side of the penalty area and was obtained by Arsenal midfielder Baptista who actively stepped forward.
Baptista adjusted and wanted to shoot directly, but he did not expect that another Liverpool central defender Carragher reacted quickly and actually let go of Henry when Agre was on the top. When Baptista saw Carragher, he had no time to change the ball. The ball was almost shoveled out of the sideline on Baptista's instep.
Arsenal served the ball outside the boundary, Fabregas threw the ball to Baptista. Baptista used his strong body to block the defender, stopped the ball with his chest, and half turned around and hung it directly into the penalty area.
Liverpool goalkeeper Reina saw the ball flying into the penalty area, and he rushed out to get the ball. Arsenal striker Adebayo also rushed over to compete for the header. The two met on the left side of the penalty area. They were in excellent condition and brave Reina touched the ball first. He hit the ball with a single punch from Adebayo's header, resolving another crisis for Liverpool.
This time the ball was taken by Liverpool's full-back Liser when it flew out of the sideline. After Liser's ball, he dribbled the ball very decisively along the sideline to sprint Arsenal's half, launching the first defensive counterattack after the opening.
Lisser is physically in good health, and the attack on the wing is very open and close. Compared with Finnanlai on the other side, he has a unique skill in long-range shooting. Arsenal players dare not let Lisser easily reach his half, because as long as he enters the thirty-meter area, Lisser may use his long-range shot like a draw to score. With Liverpool's current luck, Lisser has a great hope of scoring a long-range goal.
Two or three Arsenal players moved to the wing and wanted to intercept Riser on the wing.
Although Lisse had the ability to shoot from a long time, he did not insist on attacking by himself. He saw his opponent's heavy troops surrounding him. Lisse immediately passed the ball to the middle to find his captain Gerald, while he continued to step forward to attract Arsenal's defensive forces.
Lisser's pass was a little bit big, and Gerald was stared at by the opponent again. He stopped the ball a little bigger, and the Arsenal player stretched out his foot and stabbed the ball out.
The ball still fell to the feet of Liverpool players. Chen Yu responded quickly and took the ball before the Arsenal players.
Chen Yu is already the player in front of Liverpool. He quickly moves forward as soon as he gets the ball, which makes him look straight into the penalty area.
Chen Yu is the most threatening player of Liverpool. His danger in the Arsenal defender's mind is higher than that of Gerald. Chen Yu broke through the middle, and at least three Arsenal players rushed towards Chen Yu together, building an extremely solid defense line in front of Chen Yu.
It was already very difficult for Chen Yu to see the breakthrough. He did not insist on his own way, but assigned it to Liser on the side. He and Gerald quickly entered the penalty area, preparing to pick up the spot.
After Lisse passed the ball to the middle, he did not go back, but waited on the side, and he gave Chen Yu a fulcrum for passing the ball.
The Arsenal defensive player who just blocked Riser had already gone to the middle, leaving only one full-back Krish, but Riser did not intend to break through him. Although Krish is not very famous, Riser's breakthrough ability is average. He was worried that he could not break through and wasted a pass from his teammate. Riser directly kicked a fast and spinning arc ball and passed it into the penalty area.
Lisser's pass is not as threatening as the bottom cross, but because Arsenal's defensive player turned around and ran back, he might not be able to snatch Chen Yu and Gerald, just to see if goalkeeper Leman dared to attack and get the ball.
If Renner was replaced, the ball would not dare to attack, because it was too fast and rotated strongly. However, Lehmann was a German goalkeeper and had been practicing in the Premier League for many years. His judgment and mastery of high-altitude balls were far better than ordinary goalkeepers. Lehmann attacked decisively and hit the ball with both fists before Chen Yu.
Lehman hit the ball in the middle circle with his two fists, thinking that he had resolved the attack, but Lehman did not expect that this clearance would actually clear Alonso. Alonso was the best in Liverpool's long pass and long shot. Seeing the ball flying, Alonso did not stop the ball, aimed at the angle, and headed towards Arsenal's goal against the ball.
"ah"
"My God"
There was a burst of exclamation at the scene.
This is a long-range shot near the center circle. Although the distance is far, goalkeeper Leman has just rushed to the penalty area to hit the ball. If Alonso's hanging goal is within the range of the goal frame, Leman has no way to do it.
As soon as Lehman hit the ball, he saw the ball fly over at a faster speed. Lehman was shocked. He quickly retreated and reached out to hit the ball flying over his head, but he did not touch the ball. The ball ran across half of the court like a meteor, and then passed Lehman, but flew out of the baseline against the crossbar.
The exclamation at the scene came to an abrupt end, and instead turned into a burst of sighs and regrets.
Such a wonderful shot failed to make the Liverpool fans, and the Liverpool players sighed and all regretted Alonso.
Alonso watched the ball fly out of the baseline and shook his head speechlessly. He was not confused about this kick. He had scored a goal at this position, but unfortunately he was a little bad this time.
Just ten minutes after the game, Arsenal almost lost the second goal, which made the Gunners both afraid, shocked and angry, and then launched a more fierce attack.
In the 14th minute, Arsenal got a corner kick, Fabregas took a corner kick from the right, and Arsenal's highest center Adebayo suddenly ran to the front point to compete for the top. Liverpool's defensive player did not follow, allowing Adebayo to head the ball at the front point, but Adebayo did not make the ball, and the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar.
In the 1st minute, Henry broke through Finnan on the wing and passed the ball to the penalty area. The ball was barely cleared by Carragher, but it was not far behind. Baptista and Adebayos headed the ball continuously. In the end, Baptista shot from 10 yards, but he did not play in the right position. The ball was soft and weak and was taken off by goalkeeper Renner with both hands.
In the minute, Liverpool, who was a little breathless by Arsenal's attack, got a chance to breathe, and Chen Yu pulled from the center to the cross from the wing.
Chen Yu passed a ball rolling ball, fast and tricky. Seeing that Liverpool had formed a situation where Gerald and Pennant shot the goal, Galas took the risk of tackles at the goal to clear the ball. The ball flew out of the baseline against the post, almost making an own goal.
Arsenal was still in shock, and Liverpool took the opportunity to quickly take a tactical corner kick. Pennant, who performed well in this game, passed the ball to Riser behind him and entered the penalty area along the baseline.
Liser made a cross from the bottom again, and the penalty area was already in chaos. The defensive players could not find the person they wanted to defend against, and the offensive players were not in the position they were in during corner kick training before the game. Everyone was relying on their feelings to grab the shot.
Because Riser's pass was not high, Carragher, who ran to the back point, thought he would not have been able to touch the ball, but he did not expect that the ball had not touched the ball under the joint efforts and flew straight to the back point.
Carrag was ready to run back, and the ball was just around the corner. Carragrag almost pushed the ball towards the back point of the goal in a rhino looking at the moon.
Arsenal goalkeeper Lehman was originally in the middle. He wanted to attack and get the ball, but he couldn't get it out at all. There were too many people. When he saw the ball flew to the back point, it was too late when he ran over. He flew over and tried to make the final effort, but he did not knock the ball down, and the ball flew over from his hands.
When Carragher saw that Lehman did not touch the ball, he thought the ball had it, so he opened his arms and wanted to shout, but the ball hit the post and bounced out, causing Carragher's cheer to get stuck in his throat and not be able to fly out.
