I like Arsenal's concise style, and I have great respect for Wenger. In addition to hard work, we must show more things. We must keep on the ball We have to act like a unit and give our best.

Forward Van Persie suffered from diarrhea and couldn't play today, so Eduardo and Bendtner had to be partnered.Nasri was on a rest, and Green Mozart Rosicky took his place.

Arsenal got off to a bad start. Amidst the cheers of more than 4 fans, Standard Liege broke through Arsenal's gate and took the lead in 116 seconds. Defender Mangala scored with a low left-footed shot off the edge of Fabregas' defense.

The conceded goal stunned Arsenal, and before they had time to react, the Gunners were hit again 3 minutes later. Gallas kicked Jovanovic in the penalty area who was about to shoot, and the Serb made the penalty himself.

Boloni grinned in surprise and joy, clapped his hands mechanically, and led by two goals at the beginning, which was completely inconsistent with his pre-match arrangement. He thought it would take a tough game.He also emphatically explained to the players what the team should do if they fall behind, and what to do in a stalemate. Finally, he talked lightly about what to do after leading.Boloni is also a wonderful person. After shaking his head, he said to the assistant coach: "We gave up two goals at the beginning, so how dare we play again."

The commentator at the scene was also stunned, and said ecstatically: "Standard Liege is leading by two goals. It is unbelievable. Anything can happen on the football field. It is unbelievable. I have won six games in six games before. The recognized underdog Standard Liege scored two goals in 5 minutes. Let's see how Arsenal will play in the next game. Arsenal are stronger, but they are obviously not as fast as Standard Liege, and their attention is not enough. concentrated."

The Belgian fans in the stands applauded excitedly and sang the team song. They have a nickname in China called the Red Army. Although their record is not as brilliant as Liverpool, the fanaticism of the fans is comparable to Liverpool.

The anger is anger, but they are not desperate. The recent two consecutive big reversals in Manchester, Let them have a certain amount of self-confidence when they fall behind.Everyone thinks they are fully capable of pulling the score back.

When the ball kicked off again, Arsenal launched a crazy counterattack. Standard Liege had to adopt a defensive stance to deal with Arsenal's crazy attack. With two goals in hand, Standard Liege's players played at a high level at the beginning. They The defense of Liege is impeccable, attacking, pinching, assisting, responding, every defense is done very well by them, no matter how fast Arsenal passes, the standard Liege's defense is not chaotic.Mingming looked at Standard Liege like a solitary boat in the sea, and was hit by a wave to the bottom of the sea in a blink of an eye, but after the wave passed, the boat floated up again.

Arsenal are very troubled by the tenacity of Standard Liege. They put more pressure on Standard Liege. Li Huan and Clichy constantly break through to Standard Liege from the wing. Facing the opponents in the Premier League, Clichy played very well. It is more difficult, but when competing with a team like Belgium, Clichy's strength is undoubtedly revealed. He was able to echo with Li Huan on the side, and really formed a central push and two wings.

Arsenal's frantic attack started in the 5th minute and lasted for half an hour. Even with a two-goal lead, the standard Liege players and fans who were determined were overwhelmed by Arsenal's violent attack. While waiting for the dead ball, take a few quick breaths.

In the 36th minute of the game, Li Huan, who had been dribbling the ball in the front and barely cutting inside, dribbled the ball to the frontcourt at this time, when he saw the opponent's left back and left midfielder surrounded and wanted to attack him , Li Huan suddenly dialed the ball in the corner of the penalty area and walked inward.Encountering an interception by a midfielder, Li Huan passed the ball directly to Eduardo. Eduardo saw that the opponent was in front of him. He had no chance to make up for it, so he had no choice but to knock his heel to Hou Hou. Can he pass it to Li Huan? It depends on his luck.

Li Huan was lucky, or Li Huan reacted well. He quickly controlled the ball under his feet, but with so many defensive players in the middle, Li Huan still couldn't find a chance to shoot. The ball was pushed to Fabregas who plugged in.Continuing to run, Fabregas reacted quickly and passed the ball accurately. With another heel, he easily passed the ball to Li Huan. Li Huan just arrived and controlled the ball.Li Huan didn't stop. After making two fake moves in a row, Li Huan broke through to the other side of the penalty area.He made a fake shot again, which attracted a lot of defense and attention. After this fake move, Li Huan knocked the ball and passed it behind him. Li Huan believed that Rosicky must be behind him ready to respond.

As expected, Rosicky was right behind Li Huan. When Li Huan knocked the ball over, Rosicky took a look and saw that the defense at the front of the penalty area was taken away, leaving a lot of room for him to shoot.Rosicky unceremoniously raised his foot and changed his shot. The ball flew straight into the left side of the goal against the turf. At this moment, the goalkeeper Bogut was still on the right side. He could only watch the ball fly into the net. He couldn't even move. Do.
