Strong Waist

Liverpool's colorful set-piece tactics have always been a threat to major teams, and Klopp is also a head coach who is very good at using set-piece tactics.

And Arsenal is very nervous at the moment.

The set piece at this position is inherently dangerous. Once Liverpool gets the first point, they are likely to convert it into a goal.

In order to guard against Liverpool's set-piece attack this time, Lucky stood in the middle position, so that he could better judge the front and back placement, and at the same time carry out support and restriction work.

From this perspective, a direct free kick is impossible.

Liverpool will definitely make a cross, but I don’t know what tactics they will use.

For this reason, Mane stood near the front of the penalty area to prevent Liverpool from passing the ball closer.

Liverpool full-back Alexander-Arnold took the kick.

Lucky's eyes were fixed on the opponent. When Arnold took the corner kick, Lucky immediately made a judgment.

Later!

Lucky turned around and was about to rush over.

But the next second, his body sank, as if he was being held by someone, and he could not start normally.

After struggling for a moment, the strength suddenly disappeared.

This short gap also caused Lucai to lose the opportunity to compete for the top.

Lucky turned around angrily and yelled in Mandarin:

"Chen Man! Your uncle! Are you playing dirty?!

"

Chen Man shrugged innocently.

At this time, Van Dijk got the first point, and the ball passed through Martinez's fingers and into the Arsenal goal.

Liverpool took the lead with this set piece.

For a moment, the entire Anfield stadium was boiling.

They were extremely excited and excited about this goal.

Everyone was jumping up and down in celebration.

Le Kai, on the other hand, stared at Chen Man depressedly.

He knew that Chen Man was always dirty when playing football, but he didn't expect it to be so dirty.

Chen Man was not good at fighting for the top. In order to gain opportunities for his teammates, he even took the initiative to restrict his own performance.

This prevented him from rushing towards Van Dijk to restrict him immediately.

This was something Lucky didn't expect.

His attention has always been on Arnold, who would pay attention to this guy Chen Man.

But in the end Lucai was put in a position.

"Arnold passed the ball very well, and Van Dijk also hit the ball successfully, helping Liverpool take the lead."

"Arsenal's defense failed to respond immediately!"

After Zhan Jun finished speaking, Zhang Lu grinned and said, "Actually, Lucky has already taken action. When he was about to run to the back, he was stopped by Chen Man!"

At this time, Lucky's position happened to be locked in slow motion.

The moment they saw Lucky taking the free throw, he had already turned around and was ready to sprint.

But Chen Man suddenly hugged Lucai suddenly, intercepted Lucai, and soon let go.

Although it was only a moment, it also caused Lucai to miss the opportunity.

"Chen Man has such dirty hands!"

Zhan Jun shook his head and laughed.

However, considering Chen Man's previous playing style, it is not strange for him to make such a move.

This guy is always able to exert his certain abilities under many conditions that are unfavorable to him.

Just like this time, because Chen Man was not good at fighting for the top, he didn't even think about fighting for the top, and instead restricted Lucai and exchanged the limit for one.

This is something no one has ever thought of.

But it was really played by Chen Man.

"Nice job, man!"

Henderson laughed and hugged Chen Man,

He could clearly see Chen Man's actions, and he was stunned by him at that time.

But then I thought, if Chen Man had not restricted Lucai and allowed Lucai to successfully interfere with Van Dijk, the goal might have been lost.

Therefore, Chen Man's actions are still very effective.

Chen Man was also smiling. Although he didn't score the goal, his role was also reflected.

Klopp on the sidelines also laughed and applauded.

Chen Man's cleverness is what he values ​​the most. Although he has some technical shortcomings, Chen Man knows how to use his abilities.

He can always help the team gain a certain advantage, but his actions are also difficult to predict.

No one knows what this guy is going to do next.

"In the 37th minute, Liverpool scored first. This is not good news for Arsenal. The fierce confrontation between the two sides is about to end. Arsenal will have greater pressure in the next game!"

"And Liverpool just need to hold on to this point and they can win!"

"Of course, we cannot underestimate Arsenal's resilience. In the past few seasons, Arsenal have always been able to score miraculous goals at critical moments, and Kai is still on the court. We have reason to believe that Arsenal can score miraculous goals at critical moments." Na can equalize the score!”

winter!

!

Lucky was hit hard.

Henderson grabbed the ball from Lucky and launched a counterattack.

Lucky ignored the pain in his shoulder and turned around to chase him.

If you lose the ball, you will get it back.

Under Lucky's tireless and chaotic pressing, Liverpool failed to put the ball into Arsenal's penalty area. Lucky intercepted the ball and shoveled it to Kante.

Kante passed to Wilshere and Arsenal counterattacked again.

But this time, Lucky didn't step forward.

The main reason is that he can't run anymore!

Throughout the first half, he did countless sprint runs, which also rapidly consumed his physical energy.

Seeing the ball fly off the crossbar, Lucai immediately propped up his thighs and gasped violently.

Sweat was falling down his forehead, he was sweating a lot, and his body could feel tired.

However, with Lucky's abundant physical support, he can still hold on, but he needs to rest for a while.

At this time, not only Lucky, but also Arsenal and Liverpool players.

In the fierce confrontation in the first half, their physical fitness declined.

Mourinho looked at Lucky's state and frowned slightly.

He could clearly feel that the rhythm was controlled by Liverpool.

Arsenal are being led around a bit.

Of course, Liverpool didn't control the midfield, but these guys didn't know how to keep the pace accelerating and provide a situation that was beneficial to them.

So far, Mourinho is a little confused.

But the only thing that is clear is that if this continues, it will only drain the physical fitness of Arsenal players and create a situation that is even more unfavorable to them.

Thinking of this, Mourinho immediately shouted;

"Everyone retreat! Hold on until the end of the first half, defend!

"

Hearing this, Arsenal players began to shrink their defense.

They could also feel that the progress of the game was not optimistic and something was not right.

Now all they need to do is stabilize the situation and hold on until halftime.

At this time, Mourinho and other coaching staff were also gathered together, and they were discussing the game.

They still can't find the crux of the problem!

During the game, after Arsenal started to defend, Liverpool stopped attacking.

Anyway, we already have a one-goal lead, so it’s not bad to enter the second half with a lead.

After the pace of both sides began to slow down, Mourinho had an even bigger headache.

Now he has no clue at all.

Soon, halftime came.

Players from both sides returned to the locker room.

Liverpool players happily walked into the tunnel amidst the cheers of the fans.

The Arsenal players were full of solemnity.

Being behind is one thing.

It's also one thing to be led by the opponent to play football with snot.

Although Arsenal do not advocate possession of the ball, they will never give up rhythm points.

Ball control and rhythm are two different things!

Once the rhythm point is lost, it means that Arsenal's offense is no longer a threat, and the opponent can take advantage of the change in rhythm to continuously put pressure on Arsenal.

Just like the first half of this game, Liverpool immediately counterattacked after losing the ball.

These are their rhythm points!

Arsenal, on the other hand, couldn't find any rhythm.

Even their previous shots seemed a bit rushed and awkward.

In the locker room, Mourinho frowned. He tapped on the tactical board, but he still couldn't find the crux of the problem.

"There is no problem in the midfield, we will not lose to them in any confrontation!"

"Not defensively either!"

"The attack is evenly matched!"

"What went wrong when you fell to the ground?"

Mourinho really can't figure it out. He doesn't know what magic Krupp has put on this Liverpool team.

At this moment, Lucky regained his composure. He pointed at the tactical board and said, "The problem with the center!"

"Center?"

Mourinho turned his head in surprise.

Lucky nodded and said solemnly: "Center! A player from Brazil, Firmino! A player different from any other center type. He is the crux of the problem!"
