The ball has entered!
goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!!!!
Liverpool's second goal!
"In the last time of the first half, Zhang scored his second goal for Liverpool to help the team equalize the score!"
All Liverpool supporters immediately fell into a carnival!
The first half is about to end. Even the most optimistic fans did not expect that Liverpool Club could still score goals. In this way, they tied the score. Entering the halftime break with 2:2 is different from falling behind by one goal. This will be a mental gap. For fans, it is also a mental gap. There are fifteen minutes of halftime breaks. The team you support can score a goal in the last time is completely different from the team you support. The former will make them very happy and talk about the first half with great interest, while the latter will make them somewhat disappointed.
Arsenal fans are not very mentally ill.
It was obviously an advantage of one goal, but by the end of the game, the lead turned into a draw. They were somewhat depressed. Although Arsenal did not fall behind, the team that scored behind actually had an advantage in their mentality. It was like one side's morale was declining and the other side's morale was rising. In short, Arsenal supporters were a little depressed when they saw Liverpool's goal.
But all fans are looking forward to the second half more.
As Liverpool celebrated the end of the goal, the two teams' matches started again. At this time, there was not much time left. Both teams' players were unwilling to fight. As a result, time passed quickly. With the referee's whistle, the first half ended and time entered the half-time break.
The players of both teams came to an end.
On the coach's seat, Wenger walked back to the locker room earlier than the player. The Frenchman was a little depressed. He was thinking about whether he wanted to remind everyone to pay attention to defense. After thinking about it, he still didn't do that when he saw the game time, but Liverpool took advantage of the last time to score the goal. Although he knew that his choice was actually not wrong, he was just not very lucky. But Wenger still regretted it a little, after all, it was a goal. In the Champions League final, a goal was really important.
But it is gratifying that the team performed well overall.
Arsenal did not have any disadvantage in the first half. Their offense was played, and the rhythm of all attacks and defenses was played. If it weren't for Liverpool's last goal, Arsenal would still have some advantages. This is a bit gratifying for the French.
Before the game, he considered the situation of the game.
The Frenchman's confidence is actually a bit insufficient when playing against Liverpool. As the media said, Vieira's departure still had a great impact on Arsenal. Although Fabregas' performance is getting better and better, he is still only nineteen years old after all, not as stable as a general like Vieira. Vieira is not only offensive, but also has much better offense and personal defensive ability than Fabregas in terms of offense and defense. Arsenal with Fabregas can play more flexibly, but he also loses the stability Vieira has when he was.
More than that.
Borgkamp's retirement has a great impact on the team. Wenger looked up at the players in the locker room and swept across their faces one by one. Lyonberg, Pire, Campbell, Toure... are all old. They have been back three or four years, and they are in better shape than they are now. Arsenal was also the strongest at that time, but three or four years later, the team is still using these players. This is also the reason why the team's performance has declined.
What is important is that no young player can achieve heavy responsibilities.
Green and yellow are not connected.
This is Arsenal now. Fabregas is better. In short, he replaced Vieira's position and performed quite well. Everyone can expect him to have a more stable and outstanding performance, but who will replace Borgkamp on the front line?
Although the "Ice Prince" is old, his experience and ability are not something that ordinary people can replace. Wenger's choice was originally Reyes. The Spanish boy's skills are very magical, but in one season, Reyes' performance is still very unstable. His football style is really not suitable for the Premier League, nor is it suitable for Arsenal.
In the end, Wenger thought about it and was about to let Reyes appear and try it.
He can replace the full-back Heleb, who performed a little badly in the first half. If Reyes appears, he might be able to perform more flexibly.
This is also the only adjustment that Wenger thought of during the intermission.
The team's overall performance in the first half was good. Whether they could win the game depends on the performance of the whole team. He always believed that as long as the team showed shape, there would be a chance to win against Liverpool.
In the end, the French looked at Henry, "Thierry."
Henry hurriedly looked up.
Now, the exchange between Wenger and Henry is far less than before. This is caused by various transfer rumors about Henry. Henry has played for Arsenal for five years and is also a star brought by Wenger. However, when facing the temptation of Barcelona and his mentality of changing the environment, Henry's hesitation made Wenger very dissatisfied.
Henry has not yet thought about whether to leave Arsenal, but his relationship with Wenger is still very tense.
But Wenger still said calmly, "Thierry, you need to run more front and back in the second half to drive the pace faster, which will make Liverpool unacceptable, which is beneficial to us. In addition, if you have the opportunity, try to choose your own shot, and pay attention..."
Wenger gave Henry a careful advice.
Henry was a little moved when he listened to Wenger's words. Over the years, he has grown a lot in Arsenal, which is inseparable from Wenger's trust and teaching. Listening to these words, Henry remembered Wenger's constant in-person teaching and trust again and again. Especially in these, this may become his last game for Arsenal, but Wenger still trusts himself so much. Henry is very calm on the surface, but his heart is already wet and moist.
He kind of knows how to choose.
...
On the other hand, in Liverpool's locker room, Benitez was also talking about the tactics of the second half.
The Spaniards talked about some small details, and there was no big change in the tactics from the first half. "We should play harder, be tougher in defense, don't let them play rhythm, Steven, you must keep reminding everyone. Especially when we get the ball, we should attack steadily, and don't be driven by them. If there is no chance, try to attack quickly..."
Benitez keeps emphasizing this.
This is the change in the rhythm of the game. Arsenal is fully capable and defends. The attack speed is very fast. If you don’t pay too much attention, it is easy to be driven by their rhythm. When the team gets the ball, many people will subconsciously speed up the rhythm. But those who really get into the opponent’s trap. Liverpool is not the kind of team that is good at playing fast football. They need stability more.
Using slow to control fast is Benitez's response strategy against Arsenal.
After talking about some games, Benitez also praised the team's performance in the first half. Zhang Tiehan received a few words of praise, and others were also praised, especially when talking about Liser. Many people thought about Zhang Tiehan's first goal. Liser laughed, but they had to admit that Liser's goal was more credit than Zhang Tiehan, and without his "feint" in front of the goal, Lehman could definitely hold the ball.
After complimenting, Benitez also began to give advice to each player.
What he told most seriously was Gerald and Zhang Tiehan. Gerald is the captain of the team, the controller of the team's rhythm, the core of offense and defense transformation, and the soul of the whole team. Benitez naturally had to tell him how to do it.
The advice to Zhang Tiehan is more about his position.
Zhang Tiehan has a very strong personal ability, and there is almost nothing to say in other aspects. How well the defense of several people is like, it depends entirely on his personal performance. Benitez does not have the ability to guide him in this regard. What he asked Zhang Tiehan to pay attention to is the running position, because Zhang Tiehan's position actually affects the degree of pressure from the whole team. Zhang Tiehan stands too far, and the team will often press forward, which may allow the team to get a better opportunity in front of the goal, and will also give Arsenal a chance to counterattack. Arsenal scored a goal in this way.
In other words, Zhang Tiehan's running position is quite critical.
Not only does it affect the whole team, but his own running is also related to the opportunities he can get. If he steps to the key position one step ahead, then the defense he will face will be much tighter. On the contrary, just like the last goal, Zhang Tiehan can shoot directly when he runs to the position. This is the importance of running.
Benitez kept saying it, and only told Zhang Tiehan to take a minute.
Zhang Tiehan listened patiently.
He was a little moved.
In fact, his situation is the same as Henry. No, it should be said that he is more serious than Henry. Henry only has transfer rumors. In fact, the transfer has not been really finalized, and he, after this game, will really leave Liverpool.
But Benitez seemed to have no idea about this, and his attitude towards him had not changed at all.
Even though he knew that the team had to rely on him, Zhang Tiehan was still a little moved. Looking back on his year at Liverpool, it was very fulfilling. It was really good to have a good coach and a group of good teammates, and to compete for the championship with everyone.
Then if you want to be successful, you must win this championship!
Thinking of this, Zhang Tiehan won Arsenal and became more determined to win the championship.
...
The second half began soon.
During the halftime break, many commentators talked about the game between the two teams, and they all talked about the uncertainty of the game. The two teams played fiercely in the first half, and the score was 2:2. It can be said that any team did not gain an advantage. From the scene, Arsenal played better, but in fact, the football styles of Arsenal and Liverpool have influenced. Arsenal will always look better in the game between the two teams, and it just looks. In fact, the two teams are evenly matched. After all, the styles are different, and Arsenal's football looks better, and that's all.
However, the commentator used 'unexpected' to describe the game when talking about the game. "I didn't expect the game between the two teams to be so exciting. I thought the game would be boring. After all, the two English teams, especially Liverpool, are better at defense, and Arsenal's performance in the Champions League is the same..."
This is not a saying.
Arsenal showed more defensive ability when playing against Real Madrid and Villarreal before. Although they are actually better at offense, Wenger now knows that defense can win. In major competitions like the Champions League, players who can stabilize their defense often persist until the end and stick to their own style. Except for Barcelona, no one can think of which team can always use style to play football.
Nor can Arsenal.
However, in this game, Liverpool played an offensive and Arsenal also played a rhythm. The two teams fought head-on to bring an offensive feast to the fans, which many people did not expect before the game.
When the two teams appeared, the fans couldn't wait.
The shouts of the French Stadium in Paris resounded through the sky, adding a lot of hot atmosphere to the game, and the second half of the two teams began.
Arsenal still sticks to style.
They keep fast breaking and defending, wanting to control the rhythm of the game and let the game go at their pace. As long as the game speeds up, it will be very beneficial to them, because Arsenal players are very good at performing in fast football, which is how their football is, so that Arsenal will perform better. Liverpool will be very uncomfortable.
Liverpool obviously won't let Arsenal succeed.
When the football reached Liverpool's feet, Gerrard immediately reminded everyone to pay attention to pushing slowly and not play fast football, stabilize the formation and rhythm, and seek a more stable attack and advancement. This is Liverpool's offense.
The battle between the two sides began.
At the high level, the game has become a grasp of the rhythm, and Arsenal wants to make it faster. Liverpool is fighting with slow, and this offensive and defensive transfer between fast and slow makes countless fans in front of the TV excited, and some fans also find it very awkward.
Arsenal attacked, and once passed the ball quickly and attacked quickly. The two-defense players ran, and the confrontation immediately became faster.
If it were Liverpool's offense, it would be slow all of a sudden.
This kind of transition between fast and slow is really uncomfortable. Many media commentators from other countries have begun to describe the game as "experts". The game on the court is by no means the two teams' star performance. The team's performance is as simple as it has evolved into a peak showdown of grasping the rhythm of the football game.
The game became like this and it looked very good.
For the players in the two teams, they are just a performance of the game, and every pass is very important. Every defense must be very cautious. They strive to not make mistakes while making their state more integrated into the game.
This kind of showdown will always have a result.
In any case, the result of a football match is determined by the goal. Which side scores first, which side will have an advantage. This is the game between Arsenal and Liverpool. Arsenal continues to attack, and Liverpool is also constantly attacking. This offensive battle has entered the top, and both sides have opportunities, and a goal is soon generated.
This is a fast attack from Arsenal.
Fabregas, Lyonberg and Reyes, who had just come on as a substitute, kept passing the ball to the front of Liverpool's penalty area. Then Reyes started to throw away Warnock and passed the ball into the penalty area with one kick. Henry followed up and shot directly to score.
"gooooal!! Henry! Scored twice!"
"3:2, Arsenal took the lead in the second half and took the lead in completing the goal! The goal was Henry! This was his second goal in this game!"
"It can be seen that Arsenal is advancing very quickly. Fabregas, Retes and Lyonberg cooperate very skillfully. In the end, Reyes passed the key goal. The Spanish boy came on as a substitute in less than ten minutes and brought an assist. He made a contribution to Arsenal!"
Amid the excitement of the commentator, Henry and Reyes hugged on the field.
He thanked Reyes for his pass.
Reyes is also very happy. He has not performed well this season, but now he has gotten an opportunity in the Champions League final and has completed assists as soon as he appears. He is quite satisfied with his current performance.
In fact, Reites is actually facing the same problem as Henry. He is also considering leaving Arsenal. Real Madrid extends an olive branch to him. Although Real Madrid will definitely not provide him with too many transfer fees, Reites is considering leaving the Premier League and returning to La Liga.
In the three seasons in the Premier League, Reyes knew that he could not adapt to the fierce confrontation here. He came to Arsenal in 2003. Until now, Reyes has not been really outstanding. He has been adapting and adapting. The magical boy of Spain at that time has now sunk. He even played fullbacks at Arsenal. It is conceivable how desperate Reyes will be about his future at Arsenal.
