Chapter 591 The second goal of the sky!

After 70 minutes of the game, seeing that the team was suppressed by Liverpool's crazy offense, Emery began to make substitution adjustments.

He replaced Aubameyang with Ramsey in his first substitution.

This substitution is really incomprehensible, because Aubameyang is Arsenal's most threatening attacker in the 70-plus minutes of the game.

"When Emery first came to Arsenal this summer, he made it clear to the media that the core of the team's future is Ramsey. His current substitution clearly shows that Arsenal's midfield is seriously unbalanced. !"

"Yes, Torreira and Xhaka are very good on the defensive end today, but the performance of these two offensively is much worse. Now that Liverpool and Mo Yang have started to exert their strength, it will be more involved. Their energy, this is why Arsenal's offense suddenly disappeared during this period!" Zhang Lu continued to explain happily.

"So Emery replaced Ramsey in the hope of maintaining the existing defensive strength while strengthening the midfielder's ability to play forward and provide support for the striker."

"Ramsey is different from Ozil. He doesn't need to get the ball continuously. He has a large area of ​​activity and is creative. He can defend, organize, attack, and shoot. He can be found almost everywhere in the game. In terms of function, his Characteristics cannot be subdivided into attacking midfielder or defensive midfielder, because he can do both!"

"The reason why Emery did not withdraw Ozil to the midfield is because the German's style of play requires more possession and time to hold the ball, and the rhythm of the game he controls is relatively slow. These characteristics are consistent with Emery's. The philosophy of coaching tactics is the complete opposite!"

Five minutes later, Emery, who was standing in the coaching area, frowned. He found that the team's offensive performance after Ramsey came on the field did not meet his expectations.

So in the next 5 minutes, Emery used up the remaining two substitutions in a row and replaced two offensive players.

Iwobi replaced Mkhitaryan, Welbeck replaced Kolasinac.

Gunners fans can understand the replacement of Mkhitaryan. This is a match-up substitution. After all, the team's striker needs to replenish physical fitness and maintain a strong impact.

But Welbeck replaced Kolasinac, which left the Gunners fans speechless.

Because Welbeck is a forward, it doesn't mean that he cannot be replaced, but the question is who will be the team's left back after the replacement?
If you rely on the defensive midfielder to make cameo appearances, it will inevitably lead to the thinning of the midfield.

Liverpool is now fully on the rise, and playing one less midfielder is completely courting death.

To sum up, Emery's three substitutions really confuse the Gunners fans.

Among the three substitutions, Aubameyang and Kolasinac are the best players on the field. They have formed a tacit pass and cut cooperation with Ozil on the left many times, which has caused great damage to Liverpool's defense. big pressure.

But that's Emery.

His substitutions are very decisive, often at halftime, but at the same time, his substitutions are also very confusing, and he can't understand his real intentions at all.

On Liverpool's side, Klopp also used up a substitution in the 80th minute. Ibrahimovic replaced Firmino, and the others remained unchanged for the time being.

On the field, the overall rhythm of the game was always controlled by Mo Yang, and the attacks launched from his feet were like continuous waves, which put a lot of pressure on Arsenal's defense.

In the first half, Arsenal players could still rely on the two lines of the center and back that were very close to each other to squeeze and cut the movement space of Liverpool's striker.

But now, due to Emery's showy operation and substitution adjustments, Xhaka has to make up for the wing from time to time to make up for the gap in which the left wingback Iwobi cannot come back immediately, which makes Arsenal's midfield appear obvious. weak point.

On Liverpool's side, Mo Yang personally acted as a transfer station. The attack was first initiated from the wing. After Xhaka was attracted, the ball would be quickly transferred to the weak point of Arsenal's midfield, and Salah would conduct a fixed-point attack.

Seeing the passive situation of the team on the field, Emery felt very headache, but there was nothing he could do.

Although Wenger has left all the main players for him and there is no loss of personnel, there are not many players on the bench who conform to his employment philosophy.

He replaced the three offensive players Ramsey, but he was unwilling to lose at home.

In the current situation, he can't take into account both offense and defense, so he has to make a choice.

Soon, Emery received the consequences of his substitutions and adjustments.

In the 84th minute of the game, Liverpool got a throw-in kick in the left half of Arsenal.

Seeing three Arsenal players staring at Salah outside the front right penalty area, he chose to throw back to Henderson to the left.

Henderson took the ball and continued to pass back to Gomez on the center line, and then the ball was quickly transferred to Robertson, who was over the center line on the left, through Van Dijk in the center circle.

Arsenal's reaction was also very quick, and the overall formation immediately tilted to the right of its own side.

Robertson, who was facing the center circle to catch the ball, saw Iwobi approaching quickly, he immediately turned back, and then suddenly made a long pass without warning.

The moment Robertson kicked his feet, Mane, who continued to retreat in front of Bellerin and Mustafi and leaned towards the side, suddenly turned around and accelerated, sprinting with his head buried.

Bellerin's speed was not inferior to Mane at all, and even slightly better, but this time he made a mistake.

Robertson's ball is not high, and the flight line is very close to him, giving him the illusion that he can catch it, but when he leans to the side, he realizes that he made a misjudgment, and can only watch the ball land in front of him. , and continue flying forward.

The second landing point of the ball was outside the upper corner of the left penalty area. It was a side spin ball with a small arc and entered the Arsenal penalty area along the sideline of the penalty area.

In the penalty area, Mane caught up with the ball beside the sideline. Seeing that Mustafi had approached, he swung his foot without stopping the ball, seeming to pass and shoot.

The ball went straight to Leno who was near the post.

Seeing that the ball was about to fly past him and headed for the back point, Leno subconsciously threw himself to the left, but he didn't hold the ball in his arms and dropped it.

After being thrown, the ball rolled into the top of the arc through the penalty spot.

On the free throw arc, Mo Yang saw the ball rolling towards him, and he immediately got ready to shoot.

On the left side of Moyang, Torreira was parallel to him, and quickly leaned towards Moyang.

In the middle of the small penalty area, Holding, who rushed over his head, looked back at the moon. Seeing Mo Yang's adjustment to shoot, he immediately turned around, ready to block the eye.

On the right side of Holding, Salah is also in the small penalty area.

Salah, with his back to the goal, saw that Xhaka in front of him was also rushing towards Moyang at the top of the arc. He immediately raised his right hand high, hoping that Moyang would pass the ball.

But soon he lost hope.

Because Mo Yang, who was in a shooting position, was almost double-teamed.

The Gunners fans on all sides of the stands were relieved when they saw Torreira and Xhaka facing Moyang from left to right.

But what happened in the next second left them dumbfounded.

On the end line of the penalty area at the top of the arc, Torreira and Xhaka saw Mo Yang raising his right foot to shoot. Just as dumbfounded.

Because Mo Yang's right leg swung high did not touch the ball at all, and it was Mo Yang's supporting left leg that actually touched the ball.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Mo Yang reproduced Henry's miraculous skills and faked the real shot.

The moment Mo Yang swung his leg, the ball was pushed to the right post with the inside of his left foot.

Salah stood there blankly. Mo Yang's kick was too fast and extremely deceptive. Before he could make a move, the ball had already hit his right foot, and then turned towards the goal, sticking to the post. Drilled in.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still, causing everyone at the Emirates Stadium to stare blankly at the field.
