Chapter 549: It's a taste

Liverpool's repressive performance in the half-time facing Arsenal today made countless Chinese fans who stayed up late to watch the game exclaimed, "It's a taste!"
Liverpool is the familiar Liverpool team last season. Even if they face a strong team, they can play easily. On the offensive end, they can play a very threatening and wonderful offensive cooperation.
As for Arsenal, they played at Anfield. The scene was so passive and Liverpool took the lead in scoring. The difficulty of winning this game has increased dramatically.
At the beginning of the second half of the game, Wenger wanted to take advantage of the suddenness to play a wave of offensive climax belonging to Arsenal. It's just that Liverpool have long been standing up, especially Yang Feng. After giving Giroux to Scotter to mark, he is fully responsible for the area defense in the Liverpool penalty area.
The main defensive attention is focused on Sanchez.
The striker, who had just switched from Barcelona to Arsenal in the summer, seamlessly connected with the Gunners as soon as he arrived at Arsenal, and his performance was quite impressive. Yang Feng naturally knows the prestige of "Sang Thigh". This is an outstanding offensive player who will support half of Arsenal's offense on his own for a long time.
To him, Yang Feng would not have the slightest possibility of underestimating the enemy.
However, in the opening stage of Arsenal, the first thing they pursued is to pass from the side, wanting to use Giroud's high point in the penalty area to make a fuss.
Not to mention that Yang Feng has a short judgment on the goal of the golf ball. Sometimes he can participate in the defense appropriately. Even if Scotter himself faces Giroud, he will not be disadvantaged. This kind of flank pilling, unless he is lucky. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the Arsenal players to grab the first spot in the Liverpool penalty area.
Yang Feng and Scotter took turns to clear the siege, helping Liverpool to easily survive the first wave of Arsenal's opening offensive. After slowing over to Arsenal's opening game, Liverpool began to try to regain the initiative.
It's just that the visiting team player who was beaten by Professor Wenger in the midfield, used a very aggressive push and instantly raised the rhythm of the game, which made Liverpool players a little uncomfortable.
Liverpool can also bring up the rhythm to fight Arsenal in the midfield, but that would be too much for the physical consumption of Liverpool players.
Due to the full-court press in the first half and the physical energy consumed by the on-the-spot counter-robbing, for Liverpool players, the physical energy needs to be allocated more reasonably in the second half. Otherwise, against Manchester United, the physical fitness for a period of time may be very bad. the result of.
Arsenal just like this in the second half, "grab" the initiative, but when they take the initiative to attack, they also have to withstand Liverpool's excellent defensive counterattack.
Arsenal’s offense, now that the personnel suffer serious injuries, the biggest threat is Sanchez, surrounded by Liverpool’s defenders, while others, old and old, small and small, have obvious weaknesses that can be defended. The players are targeted.
Arsenal's offense has no possession of the ball, but there is no good opportunity to attack.
On the other hand, Liverpool's counterattack was vigorous.
The speed of the Arsenal centre back line, Mertesacker is too slow, this time he became the target of Liverpool's counterattack.
Everyone is almost rushing towards Mertesacker’s defensive force. Facing Liverpool’s highly impactful striker group, Mertesacker’s defense cannot hold on.
It's just that Liverpool's counterattack opportunity was not grasped for a short time.
First, Coutinho made a counterattack, using his speed and flexibility to force Mertesacker to focus all his attention on himself, and then easily scored the ball to Lallana on the left.
Mertesacker couldn't make up the defense in time for a shift, and when Lallana made a pass from the left, no one completed the interference.
Lallana passed the ball in the reverse triangle and accurately found Arsenal's back-air defense. Unfortunately, Sterling, who followed up from the penalty spot, took a volley, but kicked it away, missing the opportunity to expand the score.
A minute later, thanks to Yang Feng's steal, Liverpool's counterattack made a comeback.
Coutinho received a direct pass from Yang Feng in the midfield area and directly picked up the pass to the front.
Arsenal's backcourt was empty, Sterling and Mertesacker struggled to sprint speed.
Mertesacker constantly wanted to use his body to fight, affecting Sterling's speed, but Sterling was still carrying his body against him. In less than a second, he accelerated away Mertesacker.
It's just that Sterling missed the fire when he stopped the ball.
Szczesny, who struck out, did not directly embrace the football, but also forced Sterling. He had no choice but to stretch his foot to the ball and stab the ball near the baseline.
The other Arsenal defensive players ran back to the goal at full speed and defended the empty goal, which also restricted Sterling's chances to hit the goal from a small angle. In the end, Sterling could only choose to pass the ball with a kick to the back point.
Balotelli followed up with a header but still missed.
Liverpool, who wasted opportunities continuously, almost suffered a penalty.
Arsenal two minutes later, taking advantage of Liverpool's unsuccessful counterattack, they played a delicate frontcourt.
Cazorla's wing quickly broke through and passed the ball to Giroud in the penalty area with a straight pass. Scottel thought that Giroud would choose to hit the goal and concentrated on waiting.
However, Giroud kept passing the ball and hit the ball to the left baseline area.
After passing the ball, Cazorla continued to accelerate forward, using Liverpool's wing to play, just before the ball went out of the baseline, chasing the ball, and passing the ball directly back into the penalty area.
The continuous passing of the ball directly tore Liverpool's defense.
When Skrtel returned to defend Cazorla's pass in the small penalty area, Giroud chose to bounce to the outside to gain space.
Cazorla's inverted triangle pass just passed to the foot of Giroud who was at the previous point.
Giroud adjusted and hit the door directly.
It was just this adjustment that gave Yang Feng time to make up his defenses~EbookFREE.me~ Seeing that Skrtel was "leaking people", Yang Feng immediately made up his defenses. Giroud's adjustment made Yang Feng just right. Make an accelerated sliding shovel action.
Giroud’s volley hit the goal, but in the end it just hit Yang Feng’s leg and bounced off the bottom line...
A dangerous attack by Arsenal cannot restore Liverpool's more threatening game situation.
After the game, the biggest threat continued to come from Liverpool.
Jie, who came off the bench, shot a long shot and almost extended the score for Liverpool.
And Sterling now has a better and better combination of speed and technology, and he can also jump "ballet" in front of the penalty area, use technical fake moves, swing the defense, and create opportunities to hit the goal.
Liverpool's counterattack threat, in the constant accumulation, finally created an opportunity to expand the score.
In the 74th minute of the game, Liverpool once again completed an offensive interception for Arsenal.
Yang Feng sent a long pass from the backcourt. After receiving the ball on the right, Sterling speeded forward and sent a cross directly to the bottom on the right.
Balotelli, who followed up in the middle, finally seized the opportunity this time.
It seemed that he rushed straight to the goal, but suddenly turned forward. This time a tacit move made Balotelli get rid of the defender, grabbed the shot, and sent the ball into the gate guarded by Szczynski.
The tacit cooperation between the small training groups in Liverpool.
Balotelli finally enjoyed the joy of team football. His sweat in private was not in vain, and he danced happily on the sidelines with his good brother Sterling who assisted him. In the end, Liverpool, which was leading 2-0, withstood Arsenal's two counterattacks, and directly retreated.
At Anfield, Liverpool is still the unbeatable champion...
