Chapter 408 Against Arsenal ([-])
The 15-minute intermission passed quickly, and at this moment, the fighters of both sides returned to the Highbury Stadium again to start the second half of the game.

It seems that Wenger's saliva during the halftime break was really effective. The second half of the game had just begun. Amidst the cheers of tens of thousands of fans, Arsenal began to besiege Liverpool players.For a while, the form of playing seemed to return to what it was at the end of the first half, and it became Arsenal playing around Liverpool.

But Liverpool also knew that in the second half of the game, Arsenal would attack crazily.Therefore, for Arsenal's crazy attack, Liverpool was not caught off guard by the opponent, but just defended calmly, stabilizing their defense line, and did not give Arsenal a chance.

Anyway, Liverpool's strategic policy is to play defensive counterattacks in the first 10 minutes of the second half, so there is still Arsenal to attack.If it weren't for defensive counterattacks, then Arsenal would not be able to press Liverpool as soon as they came up.

"There is a problem, there is definitely a problem." Watching Arsenal crushing Liverpool in an instant, although the situation on the field seems to be very favorable for Arsenal, the more Wenger looks at it like this, the more he feels that there is a problem.

Although he is very confident in himself and the team he leads, Wenger will not be arrogant enough to think that Liverpool is vulnerable to Arsenal.

No matter how weak Liverpool is, it is definitely not an easy opponent to deal with. It is precisely because of this that seeing Arsenal seem to have successfully grasped the situation on the field and began to siege Liverpool's goal, Wenger felt more and more problematic.

Damn it, don't worry about it, why do you care so much, anyway, now I'm playing against Liverpool, so why do you want to do so much.After much deliberation, he still couldn't figure out what conspiracy Liverpool was preparing, so Wenger immediately gave up guessing.

But Wenger is not stupid. Seeing such a familiar scene, Wenger couldn't help but come to the sidelines, waved his hand, and while signaling the players to press heavily, he also signaled the players to pay attention to defense.

Wenger doesn't want his disciples to make mistakes in the first half again. If Arsenal fall into Liverpool's defensive counterattack twice in a row, then this will undoubtedly be a slap in the face for Wenger's coaching level.

"Damn it, isn't Liverpool a Premier League team? Why did it become an Italian team in an instant? The defense is so damn good." Pires ran on the sideline with the ball, feeling the constant interference and grabbing of the ball from Riise, and kept thinking to himself.

Arsenal had already besieged Liverpool's goal for ten minutes, but they didn't get any good chances.At this time, Liverpool seems to have suddenly become AC Milan, and it is really a headache to defend.

"I can't control that much. Anyway, we still need to attack. After all, the ball is already one goal behind Liverpool." Thinking of this, Pires accelerated again, and when he was almost about to cross the baseline, he suddenly stopped.

As if he knew that Pires would do this, Riise also stopped almost at the same time, and stopped in front of Pires, not giving Pires a chance to cross.

Riise did block the angle of Pires' cross, but he only watched Pires die, and did not watch anyone else die.

Seeing Riise standing in front of him with a serious face, Pire suddenly laughed, and then passed the ball aside with Riise's surprised expression on his face.

"Pires passed the ball, Toure, Toure quickly went in, without stopping the ball, he kicked and passed." It turned out that as early as the stoppage, Pires found that Toure had already started to go forward, so when Riise blocked him, Pires did not choose the usual personal breakthrough, but chose a more secure pass.

Toure received a pass from Pires and immediately passed the ball to Liverpool's penalty area.

"Go away!" Hypia yelled, and under Henry's helpless eyes, he directly grabbed the first point, pushed the ball out of the penalty area, and ferried the header to Gerrard who retreated.

For Henry, despite his height, heading is indeed Henry's weakness.In front of Hypia, he couldn't grab this point, and Henry couldn't say anything.

"Hi~ Steve!" Gerrard received the ball from Hyypia, turned around and rushed towards Arsenal's penalty area.At this time, Vieira appeared in front of Gerrard for the first time, blocking Gerrard's way forward.

At this moment, Kewell's voice sounded from the side.Immediately afterwards, Gerrard only saw Kewell quickly rushing towards Arsenal's penalty area from his side.Seeing this, Gerrard didn't hesitate and passed the ball directly to Kewell.

After receiving Gerrard's pass, Kewell continued to run with the ball for a distance of [-] meters. When Silva was about to approach him, he immediately passed the ball to the right side of the court.Because on the right side of the court, Irving was already prepared.

"Owen has the ball and is moving fast, Arsenal should pay attention! Uh~ Cole, Cole has already rushed up at this time, looking at Cole's serious expression and determined eyes, it can be seen that Cole will never allow Owen to be arrogant in his own territory."

Irving, who was dribbling the ball at high speed, couldn't help laughing when he saw Cole rushing towards him quickly.

As the main players of the England national team, the two are more or less familiar with each other.Owen is very clear that Cole is indeed a genius in terms of offense. Although he is not weak in defense, he will definitely not be able to reach the world's top level.

Even facing the world's top defenders, Owen will not be afraid at all, let alone Cole, a pseudo-guard in his eyes.

Uh~ I have to say that not only Irving, but even many members of the England national team think that Cole's most suitable position should be a central midfielder or a full-back, not a so-called full-back.Therefore, among the England national team, Ashley Cole was also called a pseudo-back.

Thinking of this, Owen didn't slow down at all, on the contrary, his speed was faster. Owen has decided to go it alone, breaking through Cole directly, without giving the opponent any chance.

Seeing the faster Irving rush towards him, this scene is not very unfamiliar to Cole. During the team's training, Henry sometimes gives Cole this feeling.And this feeling and Henry's many reactions directly told Cole that this was a sign that the other party was about to break through.

Thinking of this, Cole subconsciously slowed down, ready to intercept.

But if Irving can stop Cole, then Irving will not become Liverpool's golden boy, let alone reach the ranks of the world's top strikers.

Owen didn't give Cole any chance, relying on his speed, with a simple and quick change of direction, he rushed directly from Cole's side.As for Cole, when Irving rushed over, he barely reacted. It took a second for Cole to feel the breeze brought by Owen's quick rush.

"Saul, go up and stop him!" Seeing Owen break through Cole's defense and quickly approaching the penalty area, Lehman couldn't help becoming anxious and reminded Campbell loudly.

This damned fake guard can't even slow down the opponent's speed. Damn, what kind of guard are you?

Hearing Lehman's words, Campbell couldn't help thinking depressedly, and at the same time rushed towards Owen quickly.

It has to be said that for Cole's defense, Campbell has gone from the initial shock, anger, and helplessness to the current numbness.If it weren't for the consideration that Cole and himself are natives of England in the Arsenal team, otherwise, Campbell would have been scolded for being dissatisfied with Cole's defense.

In a word, Campbell is used to Cole's defense at this time, he is used to Cole's breakthroughs that often cannot stop the opponent, and he needs to rely on himself to deploy defenses.

Not to mention, either because Cole often goes forward for assists, leaving loopholes behind him, or because Cole is often broken by others, Campbell is used to deploying defenses.No, at the moment of Lehmann's reminder, Campbell quickly rushed towards Owen. Campbell did not rush up blindly, but rushed up with a very purpose.

While approaching Owen, Campbell also paid attention to the positions of Seagan and George on the side. In short, he tried his best to ensure that Liverpool would not be given any chance.

Seeing Campbell rushing towards him, Owen knew that in terms of defense, Cole and Campbell were obviously two different levels.Therefore, Irving did not blindly choose to break through this time, but directly chose to pass the ball to George at the top of the arc in the penalty area.

"I want to play two over one!" At the top of Arsenal's penalty area, while defending George, Xigan also found that after Irving passed the ball to George, he immediately continued to accelerate towards Arsenal's penalty area.Years of experience directly told Seagan himself that Irving was going to play two against George.

After thinking about it for a while, Xigan also absolutely believed that Campbell might not be able to catch up with Owen's speed, thus blocking the opponent's two-for-one.Thinking of this, Xigan understood that it was absolutely impossible for George to pass the ball to Owen again.

But the current situation on the court is that Irving has already broken through Campbell and rushed towards the penalty area.Although Campbell was struggling to catch up, the distance between the two became farther and farther.

In this case, as long as George is not a fool, he will choose to pass the ball.If the ball really comes to Irving's feet, almost forming a single-handed Irving, the ninth floor may send the ball into his own gate.

Thinking of this, Xi Gan couldn't help being startled. Seeing that George had started to pass the ball sideways, Xi Gan couldn't help being startled when he thought of this, his right hand suddenly exerted force, almost directly pushing George to the ground in a very brutal way.At this moment, the referee's whistle sounded immediately.

At the moment Owen passed the ball, George was still fighting with West Camby at the top of Arsenal's penalty area. When he received Owen's pass and saw that Owen had entered the penalty area, George knew that this was an excellent opportunity. When he was about to pass the ball, he found that West Camby immediately exerted force and pushed himself to the ground.

"Damn, Frenchman, what the hell do you want to do!" Getting up from the ground, George stared at Xigan angrily and yelled.A pair of murderous eyes seemed to tell everyone that if Xi Gan dared to be arrogant or talk back, he would definitely do it and teach Xi Gan a lesson.

You must know that after George became the captain of Liverpool, such agitated and angry scenes have rarely appeared.Because of becoming the captain, George has become more mature.

But this time it was different. If he hadn't been overthrown by Xigan, if he had returned the ball to Owen again, then Liverpool would definitely be able to score another goal and lead Arsenal by two goals.

If it is really possible to lead Arsenal by two goals, then for Liverpool, this is undoubtedly the best news.Because of the two-goal lead, it is almost guaranteed that Liverpool can successfully win this crucial game.

Knowing that what he did this time was indeed a bit too much, and that Liverpool wasted a precious chance to score, so amidst George's roar, Xi Gan didn't say anything, turned around and walked towards the penalty area, ready to defend.

Maybe he has some guilt in his heart, but the most important thing is Xigan, and he is sure that if he really fights with George, he can beat George.

It's fine if you win, but if you don't win, you won't lose your face in front of tens of thousands of Arsenal fans.It was for this reason that Segan remained silent.Otherwise, let alone what Xigan was thinking, at least he would glare at George and yell back.

It is precisely because Xigan knows that if he really dares to say something, then George will definitely dare to do it.Although George was very honest during this period, Xigan knew that the guy who could be as famous as Keane and Vieira had a violent factor deep in his heart, but he was only temporarily controlled and suppressed.

"Don't make trouble, do you still want to compete!" At this moment, the referee ran over in time, stopped Xigan and George, and said, looking at George seriously.

"Sir, you saw it. It was a malicious foul. Otherwise, if I pass the ball, we will definitely score." Seeing the referee appear, George also knew that now he had no way to teach Xigan a lesson. After all, no matter how arrogant George was, he would not dare to kill Xigan in front of the referee.

Although he gave up the idea of ​​killing Xigan, George did not intend to let it go. How can Xigan this time be a malicious foul, and the red card sent off is not for the country.Therefore, George deliberately said this to put pressure on the referee.

"I don't want to make trouble either. I just want to be treated fairly. Sir, for the kind of foul just now, sending the Frenchman off the field with a red card would not be doing the country good." George continued to stare at the referee, exerting pressure on the referee.

"Shit, what kind of malicious foul is this!" Just as the referee was about to draw the cards, Vieira arrived in time and yelled immediately.

"Besides, this is Highbury, not your Anfield. Lady Luck is on our Arsenal side. Even if you pass the ball and Irving single-handedly shoots, it may not necessarily score. We still have Lehmann."

Although Vieira's words were arguing with George, he was actually telling the referee secretly that this is not Anfield Stadium, but Arsenal's home stadium, Highbury Stadium.

Or Arsenal fans also know that Vieira and the team need their own help at present, so there are boos all over the sky, disdain for George on the one hand, and pressure on the referee at the same time.

"Damn it!" Hearing Vieira's words, coupled with boos all over the sky, when George saw the referee's expression, he knew that Xigan had at most received a yellow card. As for the red card, it was almost impossible.

Thinking of this, George couldn't help cursing secretly.He couldn't help but looked at Vieira carefully. George never imagined that such a fiery Vieira could also be so cunning and shrewd.

Sure enough, after hearing Vieira's words and the boos of tens of thousands of Arsenal fans at the scene, the referee's original idea of ​​sending Sigam off the field immediately disappeared. In the end, he just took out the yellow card from his pocket and gave it to Sigam.

Although the referee was not sent off by a red card, the Arsenal fans were still dissatisfied with their player's yellow card and continued to boo harshly.

In any case, the referee's final penalty has come out, and even if George is dissatisfied now, the referee will not change his penalty.If George continues to make trouble, I am afraid that the referee will still be dissatisfied with George. In the next game, the referee may have opinions on Liverpool because of his personal dissatisfaction with George. At that time, it will be a big trouble for Liverpool.

For this, George is very clear, so after seeing the referee show Xigan a yellow card warning, he didn't say anything more, although George was very dissatisfied with Xigan only getting a yellow card warning.

Liverpool scored an excellent free-kick from the top of Arsenal's penalty area, slightly to the left, about 24 meters away from the goal. This position and distance is definitely the favorite position of any free-kick master.

George put the ball in place himself, and at the same time refused other teammates to come over, as if he wanted to take the penalty himself.

In Lehman's roar, Arsenal's human wall was instantly set up, and Lehman was also ready to save.

Following the whistle of the referee, George retreated two or three meters, accelerated immediately, and kicked the bottom of the ball with his right foot. The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air and quickly flew towards the upper left corner of the goal.

You know, although George has now become a world-famous star, he has also entered the ranks of super killers.But Keegan's original teaching George has never forgotten.

George also knows that in the cruel competition of football, the more skills he has, the higher his value will be.Therefore, although George is already an excellent and all-round striker, he has never forgotten to practice free kicks.

Because George believes that, as Keegan said at the time, even Maradona may not be able to score in sports when facing the iron barrel, because a free kick is the best opportunity.

The ball quickly flew towards the upper left corner of the goal, and at this time Lehmann also made a save immediately, roared, and threw himself towards the ball in the air.
