The Ball at Your Feet

Although Arsenal is a strong team in the Premier League, their style of playing is not much the same as that of the Premier League. Their defense is unlikely to be compared to Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester United. It is inevitable that young people make many mistakes, and the mistakes of defenders are fatal. No one can make up for this.

Therefore, Wenger thought of another way of thinking: a single midfielder, strengthen the frontcourt players, quickly counterattack, and quickly pass to tear the opponent's defense line. Since it is difficult to compete with a strong team on defense, then just go all out to bet on offense.

Such a gorgeous attack, rapid transmission, and sharp counterattack are indeed a unique style of play in the Premier League forever. And this way of playing is now a big trouble for Liverpool.

Liverpool now pursues something different from Arsenal. What Arsenal wants is to score goals through a quick counterattack, so that they can penetrate Liverpool's defense in the shortest time. What Liverpool are pursuing is to suppress their opponents by counter-grabbing and passing control in the frontcourt. Attack at halftime. Although the former is gorgeous, it is indeed a variant of the defensive counterattack, while the latter’s style of play is closer to offensive football, but because Liverpool is different from Barcelona, ​​not all players here are good at their feet, and the Premier League’s confrontation is too strong. It is impossible to use a group of small players to play like Barcelona. Therefore, Liverpool chooses more to hand the ball to the opponent's feet, and then rely on the strong pressure of its own side to force the opponent to pass in the backcourt, and then Liverpool will oppress. Anti-robbing, launching an attack.

This kind of thinking works well against others, but when they are against Arsenal, they are embarrassed by Arsenal's approach of not talking about defense, just hitting and attacking.

Liverpool are not afraid of the opponent's side attack. Liverpool's wing defense is very good, and the header defense in the penalty area is also very good. The traditional wing attack of the Premier League is of little significance to them. And Liverpool is not very afraid of ground passing through the midfield, relying on a pair of excellent double midfielders, Liverpool's midfielder interception is also one of the best in the Premier League. However, for Arsenal, who are unreasonable and rely on excellent passing and five seconds to pass the midfield, they really have no alternative.

No matter how great the midfield advantage is, what else can you do if people don't fight with you? What's more, Liverpool’s midfield advantage was grabbed, not passed. Their original pursuit was not to let their opponents get the ball. Arsenal still have a lot of opportunities to get the ball, which also allows Liverpool to play. Very awkward.

In this game, Liverpool was tactically at a disadvantage.

However, when Arsenal did so, it was tantamount to fully exposing their backcourt to Liverpool. Their backcourt defense was originally not strong, and now they still play like this, which really gives Liverpool a greater chance.

This season, Senderos has been taken out of the main player position by Wenger-last season he was beaten as a weakness by various teams, and the return was really not good. As for a player, if he is weak, he can still look forward to it, but his problem is psychological. Playing football has problems. He is the only player in the football world who has been affected by the psychological shadow of being kicked by the opponent's striker many times. With such a fragile psychological quality, it can basically be said that he will not be able to play out in the future.

And this season, after getting Galla from Chelsea, Arsenal's defense has indeed been strengthened.

Galla's strength is one of the best in Chelsea. It can be said that he is a more suitable central defender than Carvalho. However, Chelsea does not have a left-back, and naturally can only pull him to the left-back position, Mourinho is also helpless. However, this caused Galla's dissatisfaction. In the end, he broke up with the team for the position of central defender. The price was 21 million and sent to Arsenal.

The combination of him and Touré, although not as good as when Campbell was in the past, is much better than Senderos. The speed of both of them is very fast, which allows Arsenal's defense to be very forward. Anyway, they have enough speed to turn back and chase. They can jump in and support the frontcourt as much as possible. This is also Arsenal's attack. One of the important reasons for excellence.

However, Liverpool is also not an underdog, and Arsenal's defense is now full of loopholes in Zhao Yaning's eyes.

Soon, he found the opportunity. When he caught the ball, he deliberately took a step slower, and when he induced Flamini to grab the ball, he kicked the ball to Gerrard who came in from behind.

Gerrard didn't understand Zhao Yaning's idea of ​​kicking cooperation. He rushed to the goal with two strides and one kick. Lehman knocked the ball out of the penalty area with both fists. This time, after Zhao Yaning got the ball, he pulled the ball with his left foot, flashed past Toure's grab, and rushed into the penalty area. Then, after Galla and Toure tightly blocked his pass to Milito, he knocked the ball back to Gerrard.

This time, Gerrard understood Zhao Yaning's intentions. He threw the ball into the penalty area. Milito was seen very tightly by Gala at this time. However, Garcia found the opportunity and went in, shot the goal, and made the ball into the goal. !

"Liverpool leads the score! Garcia scored Liverpool's first goal at the Emirates Stadium!"

Garcia just celebrated for a while and motioned to his teammates to continue attacking. After all, in this game Liverpool is on the away game, and it is still against Arsenal, one goal is not enough.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before Arsenal scored the goal and evened the score. This time, relying on the opportunity of a corner kick, the Arsenal players caused a melee in the penalty area. In the chaos, Flamini fell in the penalty area. The first reaction of the Liverpool players was to cheat the penalty, but Before everyone could react, Fabregas kicked the ball into the goal.

Flamini jumped up immediately and celebrated with Fabregas!

"This is also a tactic?" Looking at them, Zhao Yaning was a little speechless. They slipped into the penalty area by themselves. It was not a penalty kick or a flop. The goal was a mistake caused by Liverpool's own misunderstanding. This is indeed a bit nonsense.

"It's little clever, it's not a big deal to play this one all the time." Alonso said, "It's not a big deal."

But immediately, this became a major event. Liverpool quickly lost another goal: this time, Van Persie's shot caused Dudek to make a save when he had a drop problem. This time, Henry caught it in time and took advantage of this opportunity to score. Rewritten as 2-1.

"Liverpool's situation is very bad. Arsenal quickly took the lead after equalizing. Could it be that this game will be their third defeat this season? Three defeats in less than half a season, that would be too great. too much……"

The players on the field obviously understand this. Last season, they lost only three times in the entire season. This season, would it take ten games to lose three games?

In any case, you can't lose again!

At this time, Benitez also made personnel adjustments. Get off Garcia, get on Kuyt.

"Kuyt was put in the right midfielder position. Maybe this adjustment can help Liverpool get some opportunities..."

Liverpool's adjustment is obviously aimed at the strong passing ability of Arsenal. Their change is to strengthen the backcourt against Arsenal. One Gerrard is obviously not enough to cause problems for Arsenal, who are good at passing, but if you add a Kuyt, then the problem is different.

Moreover, this change made Milito a lot more comfortable: after all, Garcia played mainly by running positions, and there were still many overlaps between his and Milito's running positions. There was nothing when Milito was in good shape, but now Milito is not in good shape, which has become a big problem. But now, replacing Kuyt, who is not fighting for opportunities, gives Milito more opportunities. Liverpool's frontcourt counters are better. The team's frontcourt cooperation is better than Garcia's time. All right.

After Arsenal took the lead, they gradually exposed the problem. After all, their players are still young. After the second half, they are in a 2-1 lead, and their mentality has become more and more impetuous. Their rhythm has become faster. Obviously, the 2-1 score is not enough to allow They are satisfied.

But this approach is tantamount to exposing one's own problems to Liverpool's feet. Soon, Liverpool found an opportunity. Mascherano made a beautiful tackle in Fabregas's one, Alonso got the ball, and immediately made a long pass over the top and kicked the ball to Milito.

Milito knocked back and gave the ball to Zhao Yaning's feet. Zhao Yaning immediately hit the goal and kicked the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal!

"Liverpool pulled a goal back! Liverpool have now equalized the game! There are still ten minutes before the end of the game. Maybe they can come back."

Since it can be equalized, then it is not impossible to turn over. Soon, Gerrard and Kuyt immediately blocked up when Clichy’s advance kick, and the two men’s excellent encirclement grabbed the ball from Clichy’s feet, and then Kuyt One kick gave the ball to Maicon, who was in the back, and consciously ran backwards to make up for it.

"Why do I feel that the forward and defender on the right side of Liverpool are reversed... But Kuyt's style of play is really helpful to Liverpool. Now Liverpool is enough to make any team have to anytime. I have increased my vigilance everywhere!"

In the past, if you didn't play well, you would pass the ball back and let the backcourt players take the ball, which can appropriately reduce some pressure~www.ltnovel.com~ Until now, this practice is the most common in football. The approach, after the return pass is not allowed to use hands, the scavenger goalkeeper also came into being. However, Liverpool’s current method of playing is to rely on active fighting to make opponents unstable in the backcourt. This approach is really a bit arrogant, but Liverpool’s players are active in fighting and have excellent anti-grab ability. This has become their biggest guarantee for playing this kind of football.

Originally Gerrard, Sissoko, and Alonso’s midfield sweep was terrible enough. This season, Mascherano replaced Sissoko, and now Kuyt has replaced Garcia. Ability is even more terrifying.

No one realized that Liverpool at this time had found their best formation.

Maicon did not pass the ball directly to Milito, he passed it back and gave the ball to Gerrard. Gerrard kicked the ball to the left and gave it to Zhao Yaning's feet, and Zhao Yaning judged the direction of the ball, rubbed the pass, and sent the ball into the penalty area!

Milito will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity. He stretched out his head, a header, and hit the ball to the far corner!

"Al!!! Liverpool scored another goal! They reversed the score in the away game and they proved that they still have hope this season!!"
