Chapter 628 : Visit Anfield again!

"When you walk through a storm

please hold your head high
Don't be afraid of the dark

At the end of that storm is a golden sky

and lark's sweet singing

through the wind, through the rain,
Your dreams may be shattered

But move forward with the hope in your heart
you'll never Walk Alone

you'll never Walk Alone……"

When Li Zihan just walked out of the visiting team's locker room, he heard the singing of all the Liverpool fans.This is the famous Liverpool team song "You'll Never Walk Alone!" ", whenever there is a home game, Liverpool fans will always sing this song before the entrance ceremony of the two sides.

Although Li Zihan is an Arsenal player, he also loves Arsenal deeply.But to be honest, he really likes the atmosphere of Liverpool's home court. If he is a player of the home team, he can find a sense of belonging just before the appearance ceremony.

And whenever other players hear this loud song, everyone thinks of the famous "Here is Anfield!" declaration of Liverpool legend Bill Shankly.

Li Zihan looked at the sign above the player tunnel, a little lost in thought.At this time a big hand was on his shoulder, Li Zihan turned around and saw a bun face
"Do you want to play here? I think this is the best home stadium in the Premier League and even in Europe!" Gerrard said, looking into Li Zihan's eyes.

Li Zihan pouted, of course he knew what Gerald meant.In fact, Gerrard invited himself last season, when Arsenal faced Liverpool at Anfield, but that game was not a good memory for Liverpool fans.

"I'm here to play now, Steven, see you on the field!" Li Zihan said, calling his teammates to line up and get ready to play.

Watching Li Zihan's leaving back, Steven Gerrard shook his head.

In fact, Gerrard really wanted Li Zihan to join Liverpool, because he saw the shadow of his youth from Li Zihan.The dedication to the team's victory, the spirit of never giving up when the situation is difficult.This one is really similar to Gerrard himself.

But now that Gerrard is old and the day to leave Liverpool is getting closer, he naturally wants to find his successor.Everyone thinks that Henderson is his appointed successor, but in fact Li Zihan is his most wanted successor.

If Li Zihan agrees, Gerrard has already made plans.He will abandon this old face and go to the club chairman and board of directors, and strongly advocate the signing of Li Zihan. At worst, he will spend all the income from selling Suarez this summer, and then add more money or conduct player transactions.

And Gerrard also believes that the head coach Rodgers welcomes Li Zihan's joining very much.

But it's a pity that Luohua has intentions, and flowing water is ruthless!
"After the loud Liverpool team anthem, the battle officially begins!"

"The referee in this game is Bald Webber. It is said that after the end of this season, this world-class referee who has enforced the Premier League for many years will choose to retire. This is really not good news for Premier League fans. There are not many referees, and now there is one less."

Arsenal kicked off first, and Li Zihan continued to cooperate with Ozil after dribbling the ball. Finally, after shaking Henderson away with a fake move, he wanted to advance with the trend, but was brought down by Gerrard.

Gerrard didn't mean anything malicious, he came up and pulled Li Zihan up friendly.

"Obviously, as the captain, Gerrard knew Li Zihan's ability. He was not at ease and let the opponent dribble the ball to the core of his side, so he chose to foul."

"The game has only started for one minute, and Liverpool is playing at home. This foul will definitely not be a card."

Webber did not give Gerrard a card, but just gave Arsenal a set kick.

The distance is a bit far, even if Li Zihan's free kick skills are perfect, there is no way.So Li Zihan chose to cooperate with his teammates, and he took a direct free kick instead of an indirect free kick!
As a result, Modesat raised the football high and finally flew out of the bottom line.

Liverpool launched a counterattack, but in the frontcourt where they are particularly strong every day, their offense still relies on the breakthroughs of Lallana and Sterling, and then Coutinho's sudden shot and response.

These were all calculated by Wenger, and Liverpool's offense was naturally less able to threaten Arsenal's goal.

In fact, Liverpool's offense really did not threaten the goal guarded by Ospina. The defense formed by Modesat, Hewedes and Lars Bender is indestructible!
Even a little fast spirit like Sterling, after breaking through, his shot was interfered with, causing the football to not even have the range of the goal frame.
However, Arsenal's offense often makes Liverpool fans terrified. If it weren't for the stable and excellent performance of iron guard Skrtel as always, and Mignolet hadn't deserted, maybe Arsenal would have scored now.

But Liverpool couldn't last long in the end. When the game came to [-] minutes, Arsenal still scored.

This is a typical Arsenal-style goal. Li Zihan and Sanchez pressed from the sidelines. Pogba and Ozil supported the attack in the middle. , so that the Slovak defender dare not leave his position at will.

Then Ozil's pass found Sanchez, who entangled the Spanish full-back Moreno on the right to attract the attention of the opponent, then passed the ball to the center.

Ozil responded to get the football and passed it to Pogba with Henderson on his back.The talented French midfielder took a long-range shot towards the ball. After Gerrard and Markovic who returned to defend were fooled, he immediately distributed the football to Li Zihan on the other side.

Li Zihan rushed past Glenn Johnson with speed, caught the ball behind the opponent and then he dribbled the ball inside.

Gerrard immediately rushed over to make up for the interception, Li Zihan did not choose to make direct contact with Gerrard.He continued to distribute the ball to the wing, and then went in from Gerrard's flank.

Gibbs, a young player from Arsenal's youth training, came up to cover the side and just caught Li Zihan's pass. At this time, Glenn Johnson's position was also very awkward. He couldn't reach Li Zihan inside and Gibbs outside.

Gibbs, who received Li Zihan's pass, took a look at the situation in the penalty area, and directly kicked a cross from the side.

"Gibbs' cross!!"

Giroud pushed Lovren, and then jumped up quickly. Before Lovren had time to complain to the referee, he jumped up immediately.

At this time, Giroud, who took the first step, had already taken advantage. He pushed the football in the air with his forehead.It's just that he didn't stop by himself, but knocked on Li Zihan.

"Girouh. Header back!!!" Mortensen thought that Giroud was going to head the goal himself, but he didn't expect him to choose to give the ball to Li Zihan.

Li Zihan also ran to his position at this time. He leaned his body and swung his right foot directly to meet the football returned by Giroud's header.

The instep of his right foot was pumping fiercely on the football, and the football, like an angry bird, slammed into Liverpool's goal in a rage.

Mignolet is like a green pig, sadly watching the football fly past his defense and into the goal behind him!

"Li Zihan!!!!!!"

"The game came to the No.12 minute of the game, and Arsenal's No.12 Li Zihan took the lead for the Gunners! Li had only played one game at Anfield before, but it was a wonderful memory"

"The goal is scored!!! Li Zihan is the one who scored the goal!! Li Zihan's state this season is as if he has eaten a show, and he can't stop at all!! We can fully imagine the performance of the Chinese team in this Asian Cup Performance." Zhan Jun said, and then he joked: "By the way, Xuan Mai, please pay the advertising fee!"

Li Zihan waved his fist at the few Arsenal fans who came to the away game
After Arsenal scored, Rodgers did not make substitutions and adjustments. At this time, the game had just started, and he pulled Sterling to his side for face-to-face instruction!
"Looks like Liverpool is in danger again in this game. They lost to rival Manchester United in the last game. If they lose to Arsenal at home this time, Rodgers' life will be really difficult."

"For Liverpool, the only consolation is that the goal came early, and they still have more than 70 minutes to equalize and overtake the score."

After the game restarted, Liverpool's offensive mentality became more positive.

But Arsenal did not prepare to counterattack because of this defense, but directly fought back with a more powerful offense!
Liverpool's frontless formation against Arsenal.
"Liverpool's tactics are a failure. There is no real tough center forward to interfere with Arsenal's central defenders. This allows Modesat and Höwedes to move freely. Liverpool's four attacking midfielders There was no breakthrough at all, but Lars Bender focused on defense, although he was not black and hard, but the technical defense was not easy to break through, and there was a Pogba who could attack and defend."

"Actually, Wenger's goal in this game is to aggressively attack. Otherwise, facing Liverpool's lineup, he can actually arrange Ramsey to form a reinforced concrete three-midfield configuration. Such a midfielder , playing Liverpool in the away game for a defensive counterattack, one hit is accurate!"

Liverpool is very hard at home, being overwhelmed by Arsenal, and they can't play if they want to attack.Because Arsenal's offense is more fierce than theirs, Sanchez, Li Zihan and Giroud are all very strong forwards, very oppressive.

This gave the Arsenal team a lot of momentum encouragement, and this change in momentum is hard to describe.

In the words of Alan Hansen: "Arsenal is very confident now, no matter what kind of opponent they face. They always think that they can score goals and win by themselves! So much so that his actions are very Take it easy, and this kind of self-confidence is not blind arrogance, but based on strong strength!"
