Chapter 709 Picking Up the Leaks (Part 2)

Liverpool players rushed out of the penalty area to celebrate, Liverpool fans in the stands also cheered, and the entire stadium became a dance for Liverpool fans to celebrate

There were many players in the penalty area at that time, and the commentators on the scene did not see who scored the goal clearly, but this did not prevent them from cheering for the goal. "...aIaIa Liverpool scored: 0 Poor expanded its lead. Just now, just minutes passed, Liverpool had scored two goals, and was in a surprising state, but we did not see clearly who scored the second goal? It seemed like Chen? It might be Pennant. It is a high possibility that it is Pennant, because he was just running to this position, but it may also be an own goal, with so many people in the penalty area... Now everyone is surrounding Chen, probably Chen picked up this omission, but only by looking at the slow-motion replay can we confirm..."

The slow motion shot quickly appeared on the big screen. After careful identification, it was Chen Yu who stretched out his legs and stabbed the ball into the net. The scene that was about to be silent immediately burst out with earth-shaking cheers again, "Chen Chen Chen"

The commentator on the scene finally found the target of praise. He clenched his fists and shouted at the stadium: "It's really Chen who only has this reaction speed. Obviously, his nerve reflex arc is shorter than others. Before the others moved, his legs stretched out. Now the only thing that makes us doubt is how he ran to this position. This may be the intuition of the striker. The great striker all has the sense of goal... This is Chen's first goal. After scoring this goal, Chen once again threw Drogba away from the gap of 4 goals. With Chen Yu's current efficiency, if there is no surprise, the best scorer has become his bag."

Arsenal's offensive ten minutes ago was very fierce. Arsenal's fans and coaches all saw hope of equalizing the score. Although the outcome of this game is not so important to them, no one wants to lose a strong conversation. For the giants, face is also valuable.

However, Arsenal failed to attack and was scored by Liverpool, which shattered Arsenal's hope of equalization. The Arsenal fans at the scene were silent and no one could speak.

Arsenal coach Wenger, who was standing on the sidelines, witnessed Liverpool breaking his goal for the second time, his heart sank, and an ominous premonition surged into his heart.

Wenger can accept the victory or defeat in this game. It is an unreplicable record to defeat Liverpool three times a season. Liverpool, who is now competing for the championship, is determined to win this battle. Wenger does not intend to fight Liverpool to the death at this time, but Wenger also has a bottom line. You can lose, but you can't lose too badly. If you lose more than 0, Wenger will also be under great pressure, which may even affect Arsenal's record later.

Less than half an hour into the game, Liverpool has scored two goals, and there are still UU minutes later. If Arsenal cannot restrain Liverpool's offensive, it will be difficult to lose three or four goals.

After Wenger realized the danger, he immediately took advantage of the opportunity of Liverpool to celebrate and called the players to the sidelines and made simple arrangements for them. He must not be stunned by Liverpool. Even if he cannot win a goal, he cannot be expanded by Liverpool.

"You must not be careless today. Liverpool seems to be not only for winning, but they seem to be preparing for revenge. We won them last time. This time, they are probably not going to meet the 0 score. We must stabilize the defense, wait for an opportunity to counterattack, and strive to equalize the score. Liverpool are in good shape today, but Chen Yu is still the top priority of defense. Everyone cannot relax every minute and every second. Even if you pick up a bargain, he can still score a goal. This is his terrible thing. Gerrard, we must beware of his long shots, and Riser, Ag and Alonso. Their long shots are very good. Even if we can't stop them from shooting, we can't make them comfortable to shoot, so that Lehman can have enough reaction time..."

Wenger's deployment was timely and decisive. In the past, Wenger's on-site command ability has been criticized by the outside world, but today, his on-site command is still quite in place, preventing Arsenal from proactive and panic due to continuous conceding goals.

After the game started again, Arsenal performed very steadily and calmly, and did not make a big attack because he was two goals behind. Liverpool originally planned to strike while the iron was hot and continue to expand the score, but their offense did not work and almost broke through the goal by Arsenal's defensive counterattack. However, after Henry got Adebayo's pass from the front of the penalty area, he pushed the ball out of the baseline by Rener.

I have to say that Liverpool and Benitez are in great shape today. Seeing that Arsenal did not lose their minds due to consecutive goals, Benitez also quickly adjusted his tactics to slow down his pace and play positional and attritional battles with Arsenal. They are now leading two goals and are not afraid of grinding with Arsenal. Although they plan to take revenge in this game, the first thing is to win. As long as they can win, even if they can't score a big score, they can be considered partially completed revenge. Moreover, the game still has a long enough time. Liverpool's header has an advantage over Arsenal. Benitez believes that if it continues, Liverpool will have the opportunity to continue scoring with the set piece.

Originally, Arsenal saw hope for a goal, but after Benitez adjusted, Liverpool shrank its defense and strengthened its steals and tackles in the midfield. Arsenal's short pass penetration immediately became fragmented. The counterattack lacked enough speed and fluency, and could only turn the chance of counterattacks into positional battles. Position battles are precisely what Liverpool, who has strong physical and rough playing style, are good at. Arsenal hardly got another decent shot opportunity in the remaining twenty minutes of the first half.

In the fifteen minutes of the halftime break, neither side adjusted the starting lineup. Liverpool scored two goals in the first half. Benitez had no reason to doubt his starting lineup and tactical style. Although Arsenal was scored two goals, in the professor's opinion, the first goal was because Arsenal had not yet entered the game and was attacked by Liverpool. The second goal was because Liverpool was too lucky and made Chen Yu take a miss. Wenger did not think that there was any mistake in his starting lineup arrangement. Moreover, the Arsenal player who appeared on the court is already the best in the best form. No one can change the situation, so Wenger also chose not to move.

Although both sides were the original players in the second half, their playing styles changed significantly from the first half. Liverpool attacked fiercely at the beginning of the first half, and his momentum was like a rainbow. In the second half, Liverpool invested just as much troops in position attack, but he went all out in set pieces, demonstrating his ambition to continue to expand the score.

Arsenal was in a slow state in the first half and had no confidence in winning, so he was suppressed by Liverpool some time ago and conceded two goals. After the second half, Arsenal changed his slow heat in the first half, actively attacked at the beginning, and gave up his style of assisting on the side, and still focused on short pass penetration. The assists on the side only attracted defense and expanded space for penetration on the middle.

There is no doubt that Arsenal, who plays short passes, is the real Arsenal and the most threatening Arsenal. Even though Liverpool is in excellent condition today and still shrinks its strength formation, they can only frequently use fouls to prevent Arsenal from penetrating its own penalty area.

Setting pieces are Arsenal's shortcomings. In defense, they have difficulty in defending the air ball. In offense, they cannot compete with Liverpool's strong defenders and midfielders. Although Arsenal has obtained many opportunities for set pieces, they are still unable to pry Liverpool's goal.

In the 15th minute of the second half, Liverpool, who had been in a passive state, scored a goal at the front of the penalty area in the middle, and Alonso made a long pass to find his striker Chen Yu.

Chen Yu had almost never gotten any balls at the front of Arsenal's penalty area in the second half, but even so, Arsenal still did not relax his defense. Although Alonso's long pass was very fast, Chen Yu was still knocked to the ground by Denilson when he got the ball.

It has been agreed that he would rather give Liverpool a free kick in the frontcourt than allow Chen Badminton to attack with the ball.

The referee's whistle rang and a free kick, but Denilsen did not receive a yellow card.

Although there were no goals in the previous few set pieces, Liverpool still put all the attacking players into Arsenal's penalty area, and still hopes to use the opportunity of a free kick to break through Arsenal's goal again.

CCTV commentator He Shiren admired Benitez's tactics very much. "Since you cannot gain the upper hand in possession of the ball, strengthening the offense of the set piece is a steady way. After all, compared to a quick counterattack, the risk of the set piece is much smaller, but the opportunity for attack is no worse than a counterattack."

The free kick is about 30 meters away from the goal, and it is not a good opportunity to shoot directly. As Liverpool's only striker, Chen Yu rushed to the penalty area to grab the spot, and Alonso came to take the free kick.

With the advantage of heading, Alonso did not play any tricks and directly hung the ball into the penalty area to find Chen Yu. Chen Yu did not disappoint everyone. He first judged the landing point of the ball and jumped to the header.

Arsenal's defense against Chen Yu is always there. Even though Chen Yu jumped the first, he was disturbed by Galas. The French defender cleverly pulled Chen Yu's jersey from below, pushing Chen Yu's waist and eyes, making Chen Yu unable to exert force. As a result, the ball was insufficient and he was hit by goalkeeper Lehman with two punches.

The ball flew towards Liverpool full-back Liser. Liser stopped the ball with his chest and shot directly from the left side of the 32-3-meter middle.

Lisse's long-range shot is of high quality. Even at such a long distance, the ball still flew towards the goal like a shell.

Lehman had just finished rushing to the left, then moved to the right, jumped up and threw Riser's shot out again.

At this time, the large number of troops invested by Liverpool played a role. The ball landing point was once again obtained by Liverpool's defender Finnan. Finnan did not have the ability of Riser to shoot long shots. He saw that the goalkeeper had not yet gotten up. He did not stop the ball and directly hung the ball towards the penalty area, allowing his teammates to compete for the top.

Arsenal's penalty area is already chaotic. After Liverpool's three consecutive attacks, it was as chaotic as the hornet's nest. No one could find the target of their defense, which was who could reach the ball and who could clear the ball.

Finnan's ball was a penalty area that was suspended. Neither the offensive player nor the defensive player could leverage. Both Lyonberg and Gerard both pushed the ball, but Lyonberg did not clear the ball, and Gerard did not push the ball towards the goal. The ball was jumping around in the air like a dolphin top balloon. Goalkeeper Lehman could only stare at it, but he couldn't take the ball down because there were too many players and he couldn't rush through it.

After three or five hits, the ball finally flew to Chen Yu's head. Chen Yu knew that even if he hit the ball, he could not score. Because he couldn't exert force at all, Chen Yu did not go to the ball, but planned to fall down his chest and kick the ball with his feet. However, Chen Yu was not alone. There were two Arsenal players around him. How could they let Chen Yu stop the ball calmly? Fabregas' head directly hit Chen Yu's chest and wanted to push the ball out. As a result, Chen Yu did not stop the ball, and Fabregas did not run the ball, and the ball fell directly.
