Chapter 852
(Third update, finally completed at 1:52 in the morning! Painful, come a few monthly tickets to comfort me, brothers! Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Neither side scored a goal in the first half, and neither side made any substitutions after the intermission.

Liverpool and Arsenal were restrained most of the time in the first half. Arsenal was worried that Liverpool's impact would be too strong, so they had to maintain a certain thickness in the backcourt, so they treated it calmly in this game and attacked every step of the way.For Liverpool, although Arsenal lacked the fast offensive rhythm of the past, facing one of the best offenses in the Premier League, defense is still the top priority.

But in the second half, both sides were much less cautious, the attacking rhythm was much faster than in the first half, and exciting scenes emerged one after another, causing bursts of cheers and screams from the fans in the stands from time to time.

But what really made the two sides free to attack was a controversial penalty. In the 58th minute, Gerrard's free kick was blocked by Alexander Song with his body. Maxi got the ball in the penalty area and shot decisively. Verma Len didn't dodge, the ball hit Vermaelen's shoulder, the Liverpool players demanded a penalty kick, the referee Webber thought it was not an intentional handball, Vermaelen also made dodging movements, but he didn't dodge, so no be punished.

There was nothing unreasonable about Webber's penalty this time, but the Liverpool people really wanted to win the game. They thought the referee had a home mood and favored the home team. The defensive line launched a charge.

Liverpool stepped up their offensive. Arsenal will never be at a disadvantage in front of more than 6 fans at home. This is Arsenal's historical style. No matter what team they face, even if they lose, they will definitely not admit defeat on the scene. If Liverpool want to attack, Arsenal will definitely accompany them.

The Liverpool team was very conservative when they were conservative. When Benitez and Mourinho played against each other in the Champions League, they just relied on defensive counterattacks to beat Mourinho without any temper, but once Liverpool got angry , that was full of blood, Gerrard and Kevin Dirk rushed up like small tanks again, Arsenal's two layers of defense seemed to be crumbling under the impact of the two people, Arsenal fans are glad that Liverpool did not Torres, otherwise the lack of Li Huan's defense may not be able to block it.

However, Arsenal is by no means passive. Stimulated by their opponents, Fabregas, Theo Walcott, Bendtner, and Rosicky speed up their cooperation, constantly shuttling back and forth in Liverpool's defense, driving Liverpool back and forth. The defender was confused.

In the 65th minute of the game, the first goal of the game finally appeared.

Fabregas passed the ball, Bendtner wanted to pass the ball to Walcott, but the first pass was blocked, Bendtner was tall but not clumsy, he immediately took the ball and made a 360-degree turn The ball was passed to the right, and Rosicky made a cross. At this time, Diaby, who had been in the midfielder position, did not know when he came up. He leaped high from the middle to outflank the ball 12 yards and scored with a header.

1:0. Arsenal took the lead.

After scoring the goal, Diaby excitedly ran to the sidelines and embraced Wenger. This midfielder who has always been controversial has been generous this season. Diaby has scored 8 goals for Arsenal, including 7 1 league goal and [-] Champions League goal, swift advance and powerful header are his secret weapons, but at the beginning of the season, Diaby has been criticized by the media because he is too independent and does not pass the ball. The ball, the defense is not stable, and he will never be Vieira's successor, but Wenger has no doubts about his employment, and Diaby has finally changed the original problem of being a little bit two, and has become stronger and stronger.

The fans cheered and chanted Diaby's name, delighted as he broke the opponent's goal.

"GOAL GOAL GOAL..." The commentator shouted, "Diaby! No. 2 Diaby! He opened the door to victory for the Gunners with a goal. At the critical moment, his forward penetration changed the situation of the game. Diaby's height, His strength and impact are no worse than Bendtner's, and his forward penetration can make up for Arsenal's lack of high points..."

But the commentator's gushing comments were not over yet, and the game changed again immediately. Liverpool kicked off quickly in midfield, and then launched a counterattack. Midfielder Mascherano wanted to hang the ball into the penalty area, but the ball After being cleared by Vermaelen, Diaby wanted to head the ball away from the penalty area, but under the interference of Dirk, Diaby missed the ball and the ball fell right in front of Gerrard. .The Liverpool captain didn't stop the ball, and just followed up with a long shot.

The ball was about 35 meters away from the goal, but Gerrard's shot was heavy, lightning fast, and volleyed, giving the goalkeeper Almunia a short time to react. When he started to save, the ball hit in the Almunia's save was ineffective as the left post bounced into the net.

1:1 level!
The more than 6 Arsenal fans at the scene were stunned as if they had been hit in the head. They were still celebrating Diaby's goal, but suddenly they looked up and found that the world had changed, and the opponent scored again.

The stadium was silent, only a few Liverpool fans were cheering.

The commentator stuttered in shock, "Come on...God, it's just... It's unimaginable that the goal was scored. The time difference between the two goals is only 1 minute. Gerrard, it's Gerrard. Ladd's goal, he is the patron saint of Liverpool, he used goals to help the team recover the disadvantage, and now we have to ask: Where is Arsenal's patron saint, where is our top scorer, and where is our best defender , Li Huan, now the fans are calling his name, Wenger, Arsene, do you hear, now the fans are calling for Li Huan, could it be that Li Huan can't last even 10 minutes? I don't believe it, I don't think anyone believes Li Huan The physical fitness is not enough for 20 minutes."

All the fans in the audience were chanting Li Huan's name in unison. They hoped that Li Huan could play the game. The time was running out, and the fans had less and less confidence in the team. They hoped that the savior would appear, and now, the savior was sitting Nothing to do on the bench.

Wenger still did not intend to make a substitution, he heard the cries of the fans, and even Li Huan began to challenge him, but Wenger had his own considerations, Li Huan's physical fitness was only enough to support half of the game, but Li Huan's ankle was not enough It must be able to support high-intensity sports. If there is another injury, the team will be over.He still wants to observe again.See if there is still hope of scoring.

After the goal, Liverpool became even more crazy. Compared with Liverpool, Arsenal has no advantages in terms of age structure, physical fitness and tactical training. There are only superficial skills left, and only skills are doomed to fail.Arsenal have the advantage in possession of the ball, but they are not as good as Liverpool in creating threats. The crazy Liverpool people have the potential to reverse the score.

Wenger finally made the decision to substitute. He could see that his team members were looking forward to Li Huan's appearance, and all their hopes were placed on Li Huan's coming off the bench. If Li Huan was not allowed to play, maybe his team would really Get overwhelmed.

"Li, you are ready to play. Pay attention to your body for a while, and you must not get injured again. The outcome of a game is not important, your body is the most important." Wenger walked to the coach's bench and said solemnly to Li Huan.

Li Huan smiled slightly and said, "Coach, it's all important. If I'm always free from illness and injury, and the team is always mediocre, it's better to have a small injury."

Wenger nodded slightly and said, "Then leave it to you."

"Don't worry, the Red Army is dead!"

Li Huan stepped out of the bench and began to warm up. The figure of Li Huan running on the side of the court attracted almost all the attention.Li Huan's name began to be called rhythmically from the stands. For a player who has not yet played, this kind of treatment is a supreme honor. The players on the bench and on the field all showed envy, jealousy, With admiring gazes, all the players are thinking, if one day I can get such treatment, it will be worth retiring immediately.

In 70 minutes, Li Huan came on the field, replaced Eboue, and continued to play his right back position.

This is the first time that Li Huan has appeared in a professional arena after 21 days of truce due to injury. There was deafening applause from the stands. Back, is the invincible Arsenal still far away?
After Li Huan came on the field, he immediately conveyed the professor's instructions to his teammates, Wenger's defense in the middle, and strengthening the breakthrough of the two sides, Alexander.Song focused on defense, while the French midfielder Diaby moved forward boldly and participated more in the team's offensive system, increasing the team's high points.

After Li Huan came on the field, the effect was immediate, and Liverpool's attack on the left side immediately stalled.It was too late for Insuya to defend Li Huan, so there was no chance for him to assist.This change immediately caused a chain reaction. Arsenal had no worries on the right, so they had manpower to strengthen the defense on the left and center, and free up offensive personnel in the center.

While Liverpool's defense was forced to retreat, Arsenal gradually took control of the initiative on the field. Fabregas and Walcott became more energetic after Li Huan came on the field. Echoing with Li Huanyao, they put pressure on Liverpool together.

Benitez reacted quickly. Seeing Li Huan play, he adjusted the team a few minutes later. Carragher in the defense became Degen, and Lucas in the midfield was replaced by a younger and more courageous player. Babel replaced.Benitez changed these two people to strengthen the control of the left, and it is also a wonderful move to strengthen the offense.But it's hard to say how effective it can be in actual combat.
