The first time, the second time.

Amid the sparse applause of the Gunners fans, Lei Ming stepped onto the Anfield Stadium and waved to the fans who came from afar to send him blessings.

Obviously, these fans are very clear about the pressure of this debut for the young man. Although Wenger is not liked by them, his coaching level has always been there. Being able to let the other party play says it all.

‘I hope he is an outstanding young man! ’

At this moment, Lei Ming retracted his prejudice against the Gunners fans a few days ago, because he had no reason to hate these fans who could follow him.

Perhaps, he just doesn’t understand the culture of the Gunners very well!

But it doesn’t matter, we have plenty of time to get to know each other in the days to come.

Lei Ming, who was standing in front of the goal and moving his joints, gradually shifted his attention to the court.

In this game, the formation arranged by the Red Army coach Klopp is still the classic 433 formation. Judging from their first two games, the effect of this lineup is very good. Salah in the team has shown his excellent offensive ability. In two games, he has scored three goals.

When I went through some of Liverpool's offensive routines explained to me by the assistant coach before the game, the game on the court had already begun.

The first teammate to hold the ball was his teammate. At the beginning of the game, Arsenal did not rashly organize an attack, but chose to pass the ball back to pull Liverpool's formation.

In the first fifteen minutes of the game, the two teams almost played back and forth. Most of the time, they were basically fighting in the midfield. The only few shots were basically a few shots outside the penalty area, which looked more like the forwards were looking for a feeling.

However, in the 17th minute, the situation on the field suddenly changed, and the atmosphere was so tense that even the fans on the scene stood up.

This was originally an opportunity for Arsenal to attack, but unfortunately, the center forward Welbeck, who replaced Lacazette today, failed to seize this attack opportunity. When he headed the ball, he shot too straight and was directly caught by the opponent's goalkeeper Karius.

Karius did not miss this counterattack opportunity either, and directly threw the ball to his Liverpool teammate near the midfield.

At that moment, the Red Army's counterattack was like a surging tide rushing towards the Gunners.

When Salah, Firmino, and Manny attacked the Gunners' back line, the three defensive players of Holding, Koscielny, and Monreal seemed to have panicked.

When Monreal and Koscielny were about to step forward to block Salah at the same time, Lei Ming stood up without hesitation at this time.

"Laurent, pay attention to your defense, please trust Nacho's defensive ability."

When Koscielny was about to join in, Lei Ming decisively called him back, because at this time there was not only the threat of Salah, but also Firmino's position was a big hidden danger for Arsenal's defense if it was not restrained.

After hearing Lei Ming's call, Koscielny also forcibly resisted the urge to help, and gave most of his energy to Firmino.

After calling Koscielny, Lei Ming continued to say to Monreal: "Nacho, don't kick easily, just block his cut inside, he can't do that angle."

At that moment, Monreal understood and resisted the opponent's impact.

Salah, who wanted to break through, seemed a little uncomfortable at this time. The opponent was not fooled by his fake moves at all. He naturally heard the command of the opponent's goalkeeper, but obviously, there was a lot of contempt in the words. Almost instantly, Salah's unwillingness to accept was aroused. Seeing that there was no chance to cut inside, he simply pulled down the bottom and shot the ball with the outside of his foot towards the Arsenal goal.

The football went straight to the near corner of Arsenal with a violent rotation, and the high-speed rotation even brought a hint of arc. All the fans watched this shot nervously, imagining that the young goalkeeper of the Gunners might lose his hand due to the high-speed rotation when facing this ball, resulting in a goal.

But the result was that the young goalkeeper of the Gunners seemed almost very calm when facing this ball, and steadily suppressed the shot with his body.

The Red Army's attack came quickly and stopped quickly. As Lei Ming deliberately delayed the time, Arsenal's players basically returned to their positions.

=He was in his own position.

Salah, who was running back, frowned and looked at the tall, young yellow-skinned goalkeeper, feeling very unhappy.

Just now, he was obviously affected by the other party's words. If he had passed the ball to Manny on the other side, the effect would have been better, but after hearing the other party's words, he got excited and chose to shoot at a small angle.

After giving the ball, Lei Ming naturally saw the other party's eyes and smiled at him, "Thank you for your cooperation!"

Lei Ming's rescue in front of the goal was obviously praised by the Gunners fans. Everyone gave their applause to encourage his outstanding performance.

They can see that if it weren't for his temporary command just now, the defense would never be so good.

Some fans said excitedly:

"It's strange, I just saw a kind of leadership temperament from this goalkeeper!"

"Yes, I also felt that he can lead the team's defense well. If Laurent had left just now, we would have been in more danger."

"That's right, although I only watched him play for less than 20 minutes, I have begun to look forward to his more playing time."

Not only the fans were satisfied with Arsenal's joint defense, but also Wenger who was standing on the sidelines.

Lei Ming's defensive awareness is very comprehensive. With him, the defense that may have been a little loose before seems to have been twisted into a rope. The roar he just deliberately provoked Salah was also very surprising. This is enough to show that he is not a big fool, but a big goalkeeper with a lot of scheming.

As the game resumed, Arsenal's offensive rhythm slowed down at this time. In the cheers and shouts of the Anfield home fans, Liverpool played several beautiful offensives.

However, under this beautiful offensive, they were not able to gain the upper hand at home. Salah and Firmino's tricky shots were blocked by Lei Ming's bravery.

His saves undoubtedly touched the hearts of many Gunners fans who followed the scene, because they had never felt such a reassuring goalkeeper.

Even though Cech performed well last season, they did not have this feeling, because he is really old!
