There is a dream called football

Chapter 430 Jagged Red Army

After Arsenal scored, Liverpool did feel short-term passive. This was a psychological effect, because they were really afraid of being scored a second or third goal, which would make it irreversible, which would be bad.

Arsenal also played very strongly and strengthened the pressing in the frontcourt. Now Wenger finally feels the benefits of having a younger 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.

Robin van Persie and Adebayor can press the opponent's back line, which makes it difficult for the opponent to pass the ball.

Especially cross passes, which are prone to problems, and the huge pressure on the defense puts Benitez on pins and needles.

Several times the ball was passed back to Reina's feet. Although Reina handled the ball quite reliably, the fans at the scene were still frightened when watching such a ball, fearing that it would be intercepted by an Arsenal player.

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

Benitez can see it. Arsenal are playing more maturely. This is scary and powerful. Wenger is indeed still powerful.

Gerrard's reading of the game is very good. He knows that the style of splitting the sides, going down, crossing, and grabbing points is of no use to Arsenal. Maybe for a weak team, Liverpool can use this kind of play.

method to break down the opponent's door, but for Arsenal, it is of no use.

For strong teams, football routines are not that important. It is like an excellent student who can't deal with the example questions in the textbook. He must do something more difficult.

So Gerard came up with a new idea.

The Jays took the ball and attacked on the right. Arsenal's defense gathered together to form a zone defense here. Gonzalez and Kuyt were also here. It seemed that this was Liverpool's offensive line.

But when they arrived in front of the penalty area, Gerrard suddenly made a pass and passed the ball to Cenden on the left. Everything was so sudden. The ball reached the left before Arsenal's defense had time to come over.

Here is Eboue. Zenden singled out Eboue. After the feint, Eboue did not make any moves, but 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 deliver a threatening cross, that's up to you.

After Zenden passed by, he slowed down slightly and took a look at the situation in the penalty area. Liverpool was outflanking from three points. Crouch was at the front, Gerrard was in the middle and Kuyt was at the back.

In this regard, Zenden decisively chose Kuyt, who played at the back position, maybe because he had played with him in the national team.

The big man Crouch at the front point still plays a role of interference. When he sways in the front point, the entire defense line of the opponent Arsenal is a huge interference. Basically, there is no escape, and the center is also missed. However, when he reaches the back point, Clichy is very

Thief, he didn't make any moves in advance when he was defending, so Kuyt's shot hit him.

Lyman stumbled, then patted Krissy, "Good job, man."

Wenger knows this is for sure. Liverpool has two metronomes in 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 was aimed at Crouch, but Crouch headed the ball to Zenden on the wing without thinking.

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

Flat ball.

Find a two-meter big man and give him a low ball. What's going on?

Soon, Arsenal knew it. Crouch, who was in front of him, didn't get the ball at all. But this time, the ball went straight to the goal. Lehmann was shocked again and broke out in a cold sweat. The ball was still

The ball is not very fast, and no one touches it. Whether it is a Liverpool player or a player from our own side, if anyone touches it, it may go directly into the near corner and score a goal.

Lehmann hugged the ball and rubbed it a few times, with lingering fears. He hoped that the boss could adjust his tactics quickly, otherwise it would be very difficult. If this continues, sooner or later the ball will be lost.

Of course Wenger knows, and the adjustment is actually very simple, that is, to strengthen the marking of Gerrard and Alonso, so that they will 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 came up to interfere with him.

This time, the interference to the Jay team has increased several times. As a result, it will be much more difficult for him to play the ball. However, football is always a matter of ebb and flow. In this case, if Gerrard

If you can continue to send great passes, it will be a blow to the opponent.

Gerrard dodged on the spot a few times, got into a gap, and then prepared to pass the ball to Zenden on the wing.

A pass was pushed forward, but unexpectedly, the ball was intercepted by Li Qiao who was returning to defense.

"Oops."

Gerrard did not feel sad at first, but quickly retreated. 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 his opponent a chance to suppress him at all, and immediately passed the ball to Van Persie. The most important thing in a fast break is the word "quick".

Van Persie got 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 was very good.

Reina spent all his efforts to save the ball from the bottom line.

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

"What a pity."

Li Qiao ran over to take a corner kick, but he patted Van Persie and said, "Well done."

"You passed the ball well, but my shots were really bad."

"Ha ha."

But Li Qiao knows that this is not the case. Van Persie's left foot has a very good feel for the ball. Everyone who has watched the ball knows this.

The first half was almost over, Arsenal always maintained a one-goal advantage, and Liverpool didn't seem to give up anything.

Liverpool's tenacity is well-known in football circles, so let alone one goal advantage, even if it is two or three, who can say that they will definitely defeat a team like Liverpool?

So before the game was over, Wenger felt it was impossible to take it lightly.
