Chapter 365 The Insidious Old Bei
The corner kick taken by Liverpool is not a big threat to Arsenal. After all, whether it is Campbell or Xigan, the average height has reached 1.9 meters.The corner kick taken by Smicer was directly grabbed by Campbell and pushed out of the penalty area.

Arsenal fell behind and said they didn't want to equalize, that's impossible.It's just that Arsenal's players are very experienced in the game, so they naturally know that they can't be anxious when the score is behind, otherwise, they will give their opponents more opportunities.

But even so, Arsenal players still keep in mind that they must equalize the score sooner.Arsenal's offensive strength is undoubtedly strong. Once Arsenal, known as the gunner, is fully fired, I am afraid that there is really no defense line that can withstand Arsenal's attack.

Relying on his strong body, Vieira was entangled with Alonso, pushed Alonso aside, broke the ball at Arsenal's feet, and then passed the ball to Pires on the side.

Pires slid past Smicer and followed the ball to Ljungberg on the other side of the pitch.After getting the ball, Ljungberg immediately showed his advantage in speed, and rushed towards Liverpool's penalty area with the ball. Behind Ljungberg, the speed was also very fast. Kewell was trying to catch up, but depending on the situation, he might not be able to overtake at once.

"O~ Ljungberg's speed is very fast, Kewell can't stop Ljungberg, Liverpool's defense should be careful."

"I'll do it!" Don't look at Yepes' usual simple and honest look, but once Yepes puts himself into the game, the crazy temperament of the South American players will emerge.Seeing that Kewell could not stop Ljungberg who was advancing, Yepes roared and rushed towards Ljungberg.

"Hmph~ I want to stop me just because of you!" Seeing Yepes rushing towards him, Ljungberg smiled disdainfully. In Ljungberg's mind, Yepes is just like his teammate Xigan, a big fool.

If it is in the penalty area, I am afraid that Ljungberg has not yet grasped to break through Yepes' defense, but at this time on the sideline, there is a wide space behind Yepes, which is enough for Ljungberg to break through Yepes.Thinking of this, Ljungberg sped up his already fast speed again, and rushed towards Yepes.

Ljungberg flicked the ball lightly with his right foot, and moved the ball behind Yepes's left. Then he dodged, dodged the result of the collision with Yepes, and rushed over.

"Hmph, it's that simple to break through you." Seeing that he was about to rush in the opposite direction with Yepes, Ljungberg couldn't help but chuckled secretly. You must know that in this case, unless Yepes is God, otherwise, it is impossible to stop him.

But is Yepes really that easy to break through? Of course not. Although Yepes is not as crazy and famous as those top full-backs, there is no need to doubt Yepes' personal defensive strength. Otherwise, Lao Bei would not have brought Yepes to Anfield.

Seeing that Ljungberg was about to break through him, Yepes suddenly turned around and kicked while running at a high speed. After half a second, he was able to leave the ball defended by Yepes and touched it.

Don't look at Yepes just touching it lightly, but with just such a touch, the ball changed direction and rolled towards the penalty area. Carragher got it and kicked it directly to the midfield.

"Damn~ Is this guy still human, shit, what the hell did he do with his waist?" Ljungberg was stunned, and Ljungberg couldn't imagine that his most obsessed high-speed passing method would fail. He couldn't help but looked at Yepes who had just stood up behind him, and thought to himself.

You must know that Yepes was also running at high speed just now. While running at high speed, Yepes turned around forcibly and poked the ball, causing the ball to change direction and was captured by Carragher.You must know how strong the waist and abdomen are needed to forcefully turn around while running at high speed, and it is also very easy to get injured. Therefore, after looking at Yepes, Ljungberg had to wonder whether Yepes was still human, and dared to do such a dangerous move.

"Beautiful defense, our Mario is really good, whether he is in the center back or the full back, Mario is always reassuring." Seeing that Yepes destroyed an attack of Arsenal, the commentator couldn't help but sighed.

In the 41st minute, Henry once again received a wonderful pass from Bergkamp and pushed from a small angle.It's a pity that Henry's shot broke through Kirkland's defense, but he rubbed the post and rolled out of the baseline.

In the 42nd minute, Arsenal made a comeback. This time it was the Dutchman Bergkamp. After receiving Silva's pass, with his back to Hyypia, he kept Silva's pass on the ground and directly stretched out his foot to pick the ball behind him.

Bergkamp himself turned around quickly, without giving Hyypia any chance to react, and volleyed directly without waiting for the ball to land.But this time Liverpool was lucky. Although Bergkamp's shot was so sudden that Kirkland didn't even have time to react, Bergkamp's shot hit Kirkland's left foot in front of the goal and bounced off the baseline. Liverpool escaped unharmed.

"Thank God, thank Goddess Luck, Arsenal were almost able to equalize the score, but it's a pity, Goddess Luck is on Liverpool's side this time. But I still have to sigh, the Dutchman's wonderful shot, although he didn't score, but from Bergkamp's just shot, it can be seen that Bergkamp is the only two football masters in the world."

There is a saying in world football: If you want to watch the purest football and the most advanced art football, one is to go to Madrid to see Zidane, and the other is to go to Highbury to see Bergkamp.When they leave, it means that the real artistic football has completely left us.

From this simple sentence, we can see how powerful Bergkamp is.Although Bergkamp is old and his physical fitness cannot guarantee Bergkamp's crazy breakthrough and running like he did when he was young, but no matter how Bergkamp is in state or how old he is, as long as Bergkamp stands on the court, he is a player that no team dares to underestimate.

Bergkamp's shot scared Liverpool into a cold sweat. The first half was about to end. If Bergkamp equalized the score at this time, it would undoubtedly be a serious blow to Liverpool.

"Everyone concentrate. The first half is about to start. Now we will defend with all our strength and keep the one-goal lead until the end of the first half." When Arsenal was still preparing to take a corner kick, George also retreated from Arsenal's half at this time, cheering on his teammates while reminding them.

The corner kick taken by Pires was fast and low, and the ball flew directly towards the goal.This kind of corner kick is the most difficult for defensive players to defend, because the ball is fast and powerful, and if there is no top position, it may cause an own goal.

For our Kirkland, this has no effect at all. For Kirkland, being able to represent Liverpool and Arsenal against such powerful opponents is worthy of Kirkland's excitement.

The excited Kirkland naturally would not waste any opportunity to perform. Seeing that Pires was a little low, Kirkland rushed out immediately, jumped high, and grabbed the ball before Seagan.

"Yes, this kid is really good. Why didn't I see it before? I just don't know if this kid is in this state for a while, or if he has this state. It seems that we should give this kid more time to play in the future."

As the corner kick taken by Pires was picked off by Kirkland, the old Bei on the sidelines couldn't help murmuring.Or Kirkland doesn't know yet, it is precisely because of his excellent performance from the beginning of the game to the present that he has successfully won the trust of the head coach Lao Bei.

In the 47th minute, Hyypia reached out to Henry when Henry broke through, and Arsenal won a free kick 22 meters away from the goal.

Regardless of whether it is Arsenal or Liverpool, both teams know that the 2-minute stoppage time has arrived, and this free kick may be the last attack before the end of the first half.Therefore, Arsenal is aggressively pressing up, and even the goalkeeper Lehmann rushed up, preparing to grab points in Liverpool's penalty area.

Of course, the whole Liverpool team is also defending with all their strength at this time. Except for the human wall, everyone else stays in the penalty area, constantly guarding every Arsenal player around them.

At the penalty spot, Bergkamp and Henry stood there at the same time. No matter whether the ball was taken by Henry or Bergkamp, ​​no one would take it lightly. After all, Bergkamp himself is a master of free kicks, and Henry also used free kicks to score directly this season, and has gradually been recognized as a free kick master.

"Go to the left, go to the left, George, go to the left." Standing in front of the goal, Kirkland was nervously directing his teammates to line up the wall. Seeing that there was still a gap on the left, Kirkland immediately yelled at George, who was on the far left of the wall.

Hearing Kirkland's reminder, George immediately moved a few steps to the left, and didn't stop until Kirkland called to stop. With the movement of George on the far left, Liverpool's human wall also moved to the left, completely blocking the angle of Henry and Bergkamp's direct attack.

"Are you coming or me?" Looking at the goal, Bergkamp indifferently asked Henry beside him.You must know that Bergkamp is a great and selfless player. If he puts it on other players, he has very good free kick skills. He will never ask other people, but will directly hold the ball in his arms and signal to his teammates. This time I will take the free kick.

"It's up to you, the angle is blocked, and you know, my free kick is not very high." Looking at Liverpool's wall, Henry thought about it carefully, and still gave the chance to take the free kick to Bergkamp, ​​who has more outstanding footwork.

"OK~ Then cover me!" Hearing Henry's words, Bergkamp nodded, no longer being polite, and ordered Henry.

George and the teammates who formed the human wall procrastinated for a while, and finally stopped under the stop of the referee.Seeing that both sides were almost ready, the referee blew his whistle.

When the whistle blew, Bergkamp took one last look at where the fans and goalie Kirkland were, and started running in groups, heading for the ball.At this time, Henry on the other side also started to activate at the same time, followed closely behind Bergkamp, ​​and rushed towards the ball.

"Who is it, Henry or Bergkamp?" Seeing both Henry and Bergkamp rushing towards the ball, Kirkland, who was standing in front of the goal, was also thinking quickly about who would take the free kick.

"Bergkamp!" In the end, Kirkland still decided to put all his attention on the Dutchman, because Kirkland also knew that Henry's free kick chance was not as good as the Dutchman's. In this important game, especially when the first half was about to end, I believe that this free kick chance is very important for Arsenal, so this free kick will naturally be taken by Bergkamp, ​​who has better free kick skills.

Thinking of this, Kirkland fixed his eyes on Bergkamp, ​​his body was slightly bowed, his legs were tense, and he was ready to save at any time.

There was nothing special about Bergkamp taking the free kick. He just rushed in front of the ball, turned slightly to one side, swung it left and right, and rubbed the ball hard with the inner side of his right foot. The ball immediately flew into the air and flew towards the upper left corner of the goal.

Despite the fact that the ball is 22 meters from the right of the goal, it seems very far away, but when the ball left the ground and flew towards the goal, the ball was already ten meters in front of the goal in a blink of an eye.

"Boom!" With a muffled sound, Kirkland did not stop Bergkamp's free kick, because Bergkamp's free kick angle was too tricky, and he ran directly towards the dead corner of the upper left corner of the goal.

But it was precisely because Bergkamp's free kick was too angled, although the ball was not intercepted by Kirkland, it hit the crossbar directly and popped out of the baseline.

"Damn!" Even Bergkamp, ​​who has a good temper, couldn't help cursing secretly when he saw his free kick hit the crossbar and bounced off the baseline.And Henry on the side shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself: Damn, today's luck is really too bad.

At this time, the referee also blew the whistle for the end of the first half of the game. After 10 minutes of indiscriminate bombing by Arsenal, he even had the opportunity to score several times. Whether it was a Liverpool player or a fan, his heart was already in his throat.

But the situation is not too bad, at least the first half of the game is over, and now everyone has some time to rest and relax, so as to calm down their inner tension.

Of course, the Arsenal players walked towards the player tunnel with regret and depression.

"OK~ Everyone did a good job in the first half. At least we are one goal ahead of Arsenal. Now let's talk about how to play in the second half." As soon as Lao Bei walked into the locker room, he said to George and others, and then waved his hand to let the players surround him, and began to arrange the tactics for the second half.

"There are two points that you don't have to doubt. First, Arsenal, like us Liverpool, also want to win this game. Second, Arsenal's offensive strength is very strong. Even in 5 minutes, it is possible to score three goals in a row, although it is a bit exaggerated."

Old Bei looked at the players and said calmly.Old Bei's meaning is very clear, so please tell the players, don't be satisfied just because they lead Arsenal by one goal, you must know that the advantage of leading by one goal is not an advantage at all for a strong team like Arsenal.

"Arsenal will definitely continue to attack in the second half. All the defenders will stay in my own half and absolutely not be able to step forward to assist. I would rather our Liverpool score one or two goals less than your defenders go forward and assist Arsenal to open the gap, so that Arsenal's players can seize the opportunity to score goals."

"Arsenal's game style is to attack on the ground, using short passes to penetrate the opponent's defense. So my request is very simple, that is, let me keep an eye on the opponent's striker and don't give the opponent a chance to pass the ball. If it doesn't work, foul me. Don't hesitate. Of course, you must also pay attention to the opponent's overhead pass. Henry, a Frenchman, is still very fast."

After talking about defense, the next step is to talk about offense. Lao Bei glanced at the players, and after finding that there was nothing the players didn't understand, he continued.

"Our offense is still playing according to our style in the first half, but I want to emphasize one point, that is, we have the opportunity to shoot as far as possible. Arsenal's defense, especially the defensive strength of the two central defenders, is still very strong. The defense against high-altitude balls is even more powerful, so there is no need, don't cross, just shoot from long distances."

Speaking of this, Lao Bei couldn't help but smile and said: "At this time, we should also let those fragile boys in Arsenal know what is called the Premier League and what is called a man's attack. Don't be too polite, everyone, give me a long shot, and kill them. Even if you can't kill them, we have to give the opponent a deep impression. If anyone can eject the opponent's goalkeeper, the German, and send him to the hospital, I will treat him to a good meal."

Hearing Old Bei's insidious words, there was a burst of sinister laughter in the Liverpool locker room. If someone passed by the door of the Liverpool locker room at this time, and heard the sinister laughter from the locker room, I'm afraid they really thought there was a ghost in the locker room.

Lao Bei asked the players to look for opportunities to shoot long-range, not to let all the players have no purpose at all, just shoot long-range directly when they get the ball.You must know that in the Liverpool team, Alonso, Gerrard, Kewell, Smicer and George have good foot strength, especially Gerrard.

It is precisely because of this that when Old Bei considered that the team's offensive players have this characteristic, he began to train Liverpool's team's long-range shooting tactics for a long time.Of course, the reason why Lao Bei trained this kind of tactic at the beginning was to deal with a densely defending team. After all, facing a team that is fully defending, no matter how fast and superb footwork skills are, there is no way to show it.

Moreover, Liverpool's long-range shooting tactics have achieved relatively good results after a period of training.Liverpool's long-range shooting tactics, in the final analysis, are offensive tactics centered on Gerrard and Alonso, um~ or offensive tactics centered on double midfielders.

When Gerrard and Alonso are ready to shoot from long range, one is responsible for shooting and the other is responsible for covering.George, Kewell and Smicer stood outside the penalty area when the midfielder attacked the long-range shot. When the long-range shot started, George quickly rushed into the penalty area and Irving was ready for a supplementary shot at any time.

As for Smicer and Kewell, they will continue to stay in the penalty area. When Alonso and Gerrard do not have a good angle to shoot, they can pass the ball to them and let Smicer and Kewell complete the shot.Although playing long-range bombing tactics, this does not mean that Liverpool's offense is all long-range shots, no bottom crosses and pass breakthrough shots. As long as there is an opportunity, players can choose themselves according to the situation on the field.

Of course, George and Irving in the penalty area can also block the ball when the opposing goalkeeper grabs the ball and make a supplementary shot. If there is no chance, they can pass it out of the penalty area, ambush in such a double midfielder and double front midfielder, and immediately launch a second quick attack.

To put it bluntly, the long-range bombing tactic is an offensive tactic centered on the double midfielders of Gerrard and Alonso. When this tactic is activated, other people, no matter who they are, must give way to the two and help them as much as possible.

Of course, all of this is based on the fact that both Gerrard and Alonso have good long-range shooting skills. If the two do not have certain long-range shooting skills and strong enough strength, then Lao Bei will not train this kind of tactics.

"Sammy, Jamie, when Gerrard and Alonso go up in the second half, you pay attention to defending and covering up." Seeing the players and himself laughing, Old Bei nodded in satisfaction. It seems that the players still have a lot in common with him. Thinking of this, Old Bei couldn't help but secretly proud.

However, Lao Bei is a real tactical master, and naturally he will not make the kind of low-level mistakes of only focusing on offense and forgetting defense.That's why Lao Bei gave instructions to Hypia and Carragher at the side at this time.

After all, when the long-range bombing tactics are activated, whether it is Gerrard or Alonso, the two will naturally jump in and invest in the attack, and there will naturally be a gap behind Gerrard and Alonso.As for Yepes and Riise, their positions will also be behind Hyypia and Carragher, serving as full-backs and central defenders. In short, everything depends on the form on the field.

The 15-minute intermission passed immediately, and players from both sides came to the player tunnel at the same time, ready to enter the field to start the second half of the game.

At this time, the Liverpool players all looked at the Arsenal players, thinking that Arsenal's defense, especially the goalkeeper Lehmann, would be the focus of care from Liverpool's long-range bombing. Thinking of this, all the Liverpool players sneered evilly.

The Arsenal players only felt a gust of cold wind blowing, looking at the Liverpool players who were staring at them and smiling, all the Arsenal players couldn't help but feel a little worried for a while, because the Arsenal players couldn't help feeling very uncomfortable when they saw Liverpool's smirking expression.

Of course, the most uncomfortable and uncomfortable person is of course the Arsenal goalkeeper Lehmann. At this time, seeing most of the Liverpool players smiling at him, Lehman swallowed for no reason, and secretly worried.
