ball at foot

"We can see that in today's game, the two teams on the field played two different formations. () Arsenal used a 442 formation with Lehmann in goal, Ashley Cole, Campbell, Toure and Laurent as a defensive line. Vieira and Cesc Fabregas in midfield, Pires on the left, Ljungberg on the right. Henry and Reyes as partners. Arsenal's lineup is not Unexpectedly, in their lineup, only Bergkamp did not play due to injury, and Reyes who replaced him was in good form."

When Martin Taylor introduced Arsenal's lineup, he couldn't help but sigh that Arsenal's lineup is indeed amazingly strong.

Cole, Campbell, Lehmann, Vieira, Henry, whether these famous stars, Toure, Cesc Fabregas, Van Persie, young people like Reyes, after entering Arsenal, they all have a very short period of time. The brilliance quickly glowed within, their strength, and this kind of deep potential really made people feel incredible.

In contrast, Liverpool is a bit too chilling...

"Liverpool set up a 433 lineup, the defense is Kirkland in goal, Riise, Hyypia, Carragher and Finnan form the defense. The midfield is Hamann, Gerrard and Alonso. Three defensive midfielders, while Kewell and Zhao Yaning are on the left and right sides, and the front is forward Milito-this is the first time since Milito joined Liverpool.

Seeing such a lineup, Martin Taylor also said, "What do you think, Andy? Who do you think will win?"

"This is a cunning question, Martin." Andy Gray thought for a while, "Liverpool has won all home games this season. But their strength, after all, is slightly inferior. In the past three seasons, Liverpool have played against each other at Anfield. Arsenal's record is two losses and one tie, and they have not won for three years. They may change in this game, but considering that the lineup is not neat and key figures like Luis Garcia are absent, their strength cannot reach the strongest , I guess... a draw is a situation that Liverpool can accept."

In other words, you are still not optimistic about Liverpool winning.Martin Taylor said in his heart.

In fact, this is also his opinion. After all, Liverpool is a little far from the strength of Arsenal. It is really hard to say that they can win.

But if there is anything that Liverpool can rely on, it is that when Benitez led Valencia against Arsenal in the Champions League, he used an obviously inferior lineup to force Arsenal to fall from the record to the scene. Defeat, such a record can give people some expectations.

The home atmosphere of Liverpool fans is very frenzied.After the kick-off, as Pires made a breakthrough and was tackled by Gerrard, the scene immediately set off a deafening roar.After Gerrard broke the ball, he passed the ball to Zhao Yaning with a long kick. Zhao Yaning turned his back to the goal on the edge of the penalty area. When he turned back, he had already turned around in one step and stepped over Toure.

Toure thought that Zhao Yaning had to stop the ball first anyway, and then make a breakthrough, but Zhao Yaning’s extraordinary action of stopping the ball greatly exceeded his expectations.He subconsciously grabbed Zhao Yaning's clothes, pulled Zhao Yaning suddenly, and fell directly into the penalty area.

The referee Levi stretched out his hand without hesitation and pointed to the penalty spot.

"Only 2 minutes into the game, the referee gave Liverpool a penalty! Zhao Yaning's turn and breakthrough was brought down by Toure-it's a pity, this is a very beautiful move, almost as good as Bergkamp's turn and breakthrough. It is on par. But it is a pity that it was overturned and could not be completed, otherwise, if this goal is scored, it will definitely be the best goal of this round."

Martin Taylor praised, and then turned his gaze back to the field, "The penalty was very accurate. There is no doubt that it was a penalty kick. But the problem is that a penalty kick was awarded just 2 minutes into the game. It's a bit tough for Arsenal."

At this time, several Liverpool players are also blaming each other.

"Stephen has just come back, just in need of results, he will take the penalty." Zhao Yaning opened his mouth first.

"It's still Harry. He hasn't scored in almost [-] rounds? He needs a goal more than I do." Gerrard still threw the ball.

"I don't need it. It's still Joey. He is now the number one shooter, and it won't hurt to score one more." Kewell didn't want to punish him either.

Although several people wanted to score goals very much, they all gave way to each other. After a long time, Zhao Yaning was finally allowed to stand on the penalty spot.Although among these few people, his penalty kick is the most unreliable, but after all, he may have a good position in the shooter list.

Zhao Yaning stepped back a few steps, then accelerated to run, and stopped suddenly!

Lehman suddenly jumped out to the left, and at this moment, Zhao Yaning kicked in the opposite direction.

This goal made the scene cheers, but it also made the Arsenal players look dissatisfied.

Such a sudden stop and shaking goal has always been regarded as an act that is unsportsmanlike.Although xng is not clearly defined, doing so is really not what should be done. [

On the edge of the penalty area, Henry stopped Zhao Yaning, "Didn't Coach Petit tell you that it's not good to do so?"

"But my penalty ability is even worse." Zhao Yaning replied.

"Penalty kick ability can be practiced. If you throw morality away, you can't get it back." Henry pointed his finger at him and shook it. "After the game, I apologize to Lehmann. This is the same club. Born, that’s what I’m talking about.”

Henry's words made Zhao Yaning nodded.Although he didn't feel that there was too much fault in what he did, he didn't want to contradict Henry.

Coach Petit mentioned Henry many times, saying that he is a good old man with a good temper and basically no evil intentions.Although Zhao Yaning didn't know if Henry was really like this, he didn't doubt what Coach Petit said.

"The game is now a 1-0 scoreline, and the situation is much more favorable to Liverpool. But they are facing the best forwards in the Premier League and the best midfielder in the Premier League after all. It is still unknown how the game will develop. .”

It is almost arguable that Henry is the best striker in the Premier League.And Vieira is the best defensive midfielder in the Premier League. On this point, Keane used to compete with him. Now that Keane is aging badly, there is no doubt about it.Arsenal's strengths are amazing, so even if they are behind by one goal, they are still maintaining their offensive.

However, in the midst of the constant grinding of meat in the midfield, the situation has undergone a strange change.Every time Liverpool's Arsenal players get the ball, they will know how to press close. This style of play slows down Arsenal's rhythm.And Liverpool also deliberately slowed down the tempo every time they got the ball, and over time, both sides of the game changed the tempo to the slowest.

"It was an ugly match." Beibei in the stands commented on the game.

Originally, Arsenal played the most beautiful and exciting football.However, Liverpool, making full use of the midfielder's minced meat, slowed Arsenal down and couldn't play fast-paced high-speed football.Under the slow rhythm, Henry's role is even half useless, and without Bergkamp to help control the field, such a rhythm is extremely unfavorable for Arsenal.

At this time, Andy Gray also expressed his admiration, "I didn't expect that Liverpool would have the courage to compete with Arsenal for players in the midfield. What's even more unimaginable is that they even have a slight upper hand."

"It's normal." Martin Taylor made an analysis, "As you can see, Hamann's position is very deep, and the positions of the two full-backs, and Haman, the central defender, form two triangles. And A The positions of Lonzo and Gerrard, and Hamann and the full-backs form two triangles. Every time Arsenal tries to launch a fast break from the wing, they need to face two sets of defenses and break through. Naturally, it will be very difficult. Liverpool put a lot of manpower in defense, and naturally there will be great benefits."

"But their offense doesn't seem to be very bad."

"Of course. Didn't you see that? Arsenal attacked from the left, and Alonso would take advantage of the situation. All cooperation. The ability of this pair of midfielders is very strong. One backcourt intercepts and passes to the frontcourt. .”

Their commentary is indeed the reality of the game.Arsenal's frontcourt is not good, Henry, Reyes and Pires have repeatedly tried to dismantle Liverpool's tight defense, but the Gunners' passing in the frontcourt is difficult to be a real threat, and the Gunners' offense is always on the edge of the penalty area It came to a screeching halt.

Harman's smart running position and experience, combined with the cooperation of the full back and the central defender, blocked the popular attack very well.

And in the 13th minute of the game, Alonso finally found another chance. He made a very good arc with a long shot. Although he was still saved by Lehmann, he also announced to everyone that this game , Liverpool has the situation under control.

And soon, a foul by Vieira on Kewell caused cheers to erupt in the Liverpool stands.Outside the penalty area, people who are 25 meters away from the goal have gone. No matter how you look at it, this ball is a ball with a great chance.

And thinking of Zhao Yaning's free kick ability, how can such an opportunity not make Liverpool fans happy?

"He will definitely score another goal!" The fans in the stands shouted excitedly.

"It's a little close. With such a close ball, he shouldn't hit the goal directly..." Beibei looked at Zhao Yaning, and immediately thought of what Zhao Yaning would do.

Sure enough, Zhao Yaning's kick kicked the ball to the far point Milito.But Campbell, relying on his physical strength, squeezed Milito away and headed the ball outside. [

Harman grabbed the landing point and shot a long shot outside the penalty area, which was blocked by Toure.

"Oh, just a little bit." The fans lamented.

"Your compatriot is indeed a good player." Oliver said to Beibei, "very good player! We even wrote a song for him, listen, the fans over there are singing his exclusive song Woolen cloth."

All the songs of your fans are basically in the same tune, just change the word. All of this means that the tunes used by clubs all over England are almost the same!And your lyrics are just one after another, the writing is not difficult, and the sound is not beautiful.Beibei complained silently.

But at this time, she still had a kind of pride in her heart: Although these Liverpool people used ugly football to block the most beautiful Arsenal in her eyes, this Liverpool team was indeed a team that she felt proud of.And although this song is extremely ugly, after all, the person who wrote this song is also someone who makes her feel proud.
