There is a dream called football

Chapter 429 Iron-Blooded Red Army
After Arsenal scored, Liverpool did feel a short-term passivity. This is a psychological impact, because they are really afraid of being scored in the second or third, so that it is irretrievable, and that would be bad.

Arsenal also played very strong and strengthened the frontcourt. Now Wenger finally feels the benefits of the young lineup, which is to run more actively.

Henry may be able to seize opportunities better than Van Persie, but it is impossible for Henry to actively fight in the frontcourt like Van Persie.

Van Persie and Adebayor can press the opponent's back line, so it is very difficult for the opponent to pass the ball.

Especially the cross pass, it is easy to go wrong, and the huge pressure on the defense makes Benitez feel like sitting on pins and needles.

Several times the ball was passed back to Reina's feet. Although Reina's handling of the ball was reliable, the fans on the scene were still watching this kind of ball in fear, fearing that they would almost be cut off by Arsenal's players.

Of course, this kind of high-position pressing can only be maintained for a while. After a while, Arsenal will withdraw their front line and form a half-court defense.

Benitez could see that Arsenal played more sophisticatedly, which is scary and powerful, and Wenger is indeed still very good.

Gerrard's reading of the game is very strong. He knows that the style of splitting, bottoming, crossing, and grabbing points is useless for Arsenal. Perhaps for weak teams, Liverpool can use this method to open the opponent's door, but it is useless for Arsenal.

For a strong team, routine football is not that important. It's like an excellent student who can't beat him to the example problems in the textbook, and has to be more difficult.

So Gerald had a new idea.

The Jie team attacked on the right with the ball, and Arsenal's defense gathered to form a zone defense here. Gonzalez and Dirk were also here. It seemed that this was Liverpool's offensive line.

But when he reached the penalty area, Gerrard suddenly made a cross and passed the ball to Zenden on the left. In this way, everything was too sudden. The ball went to the left, and Arsenal's defense had not had time to come over.

Here is Eboue, Zenden singled out Eboue, after a feint, Eboue did not make a move, but got stuck inside.

In this case, the full-back can only block the inside line to prevent the opponent from shooting directly, but the outside line can be released.

As for whether you can send a threatening cross, it depends on you.

Cenden slowed down a little after passing by, and took a look at the situation in the penalty area. Liverpool was surrounded by three points, with Crouch in the front point, Gerrard in the middle, and Dirk Drivet in the back point.

In this regard, Cenden decisively chose the late Didier Dirk, probably because he has been paired with the national team.

The big man Crouch in the front point still plays the role of interference. He flickered in the front point, and the opponent Arsenal's entire defense line was a huge interference. He basically didn't run, and he missed the middle, but at the back point, Clichy was very thief.

Lyman staggered, then patted Chrissy, "Nice job, man."

Wenger knew this was for sure, Liverpool had two metronomes Gerrard and Alonso, so their offense must be very flexible.

Soon, the ball reached Alonso's feet. Like Gerrard, he is also a very thinking player, and his long pass is almost as accurate as Gerrard.

A long pass, the ball was for Crouch, and Crouch gave the header to Zenden on the wing without even thinking about it.

This is a very clever way for the center to play the ball for the winger, and Zenden made a cross again, but this time the cross is different. This time it was Crouch who was found, but it was a low ball.

Looking for a two-meter tall man, but given a low ball, what's the matter?
Soon, Arsenal knew it. Crouch from the previous point flickered and didn’t take the ball at all. However, this leak, the ball went straight to the goal. Lehmann was shocked again and broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, the ball was not fast.

Lehmann rubbed the ball a few times while holding the ball, feeling lingering fear, hoping that the boss can quickly adjust his tactics, otherwise it will be very difficult, and if this continues, he will lose the ball sooner or later.

Of course Wenger knew it, and the adjustment is actually very simple, that is, to strengthen the marking of Gerrard and Alonso, so that they feel more pressure when they play the ball, so that the success rate of the ball will be greatly reduced.

When Gerrard got the ball again, Fabregas and Flamini all stuck up and interfered with him.

This time, the interference for the Jie team has increased several times. In this way, it is much more difficult for him to play the ball, but the football field is always a matter of ebb and flow.

Gerrard flashed a few times on the spot, and after flashing an opening, he was about to pass the ball to Zenden on the wing.

A cross was pushed over, but unexpectedly, the ball was intercepted by Li Qiao who returned to defend.

"Oops."

Gerrard didn't want to be sad at the first time, but retreated quickly. He knew what it meant for Li Qiao to counterattack with the ball.

Liverpool retreated quickly, but Arsenal advanced faster, and Li Qiao didn't give the opponent a chance to suppress himself, and immediately passed the ball to Van Persie. The most important thing about a fast break is a fast word.

Van Persie took the ball in front of the penalty area, and immediately volleyed with his left foot after getting out of the way. He was very confident in his left foot ability, and Van Persie's left foot is really good. The effect of this powerful and heavy volley is very good.

It took Reina a lot of effort to save the ball over the baseline.

Van Persie chuckled, lifted his clothes and wiped his face. It was a pity that the goal should have been scored.

"Pity."

Li Qiao ran over to take a corner kick, and he patted Van Persie, "Good job."

"You pass the ball well, but my shot is really a dog S."

"Haha."

But Li Qiao knew that this was not the case. Van Persie had a very good sense of the ball with his left foot, as anyone who has watched the ball knows.

At the end of the first half, Arsenal always kept a one-goal advantage, and Liverpool didn't seem to give up anything.

Liverpool's tenacity is well-known in the football circle, so let alone the advantage of one goal, even if it is two or three, who can say that he will definitely be able to beat a team like Liverpool?
So the game is not over, Wenger felt that it was impossible to take it lightly.
