Chapter 185 Lukaku’s Back of the Head
, the latest chapter is updated the fastest!
In the penalty area, Lukaku sat on the ground, he raised his hands, with a trace of confusion and grievance on his honest face.
His eyes looked at the referee.
‘Such a big foul didn’t see it? ’
But the referee ignored him completely and turned around to follow Liverpool’s counterattack.
“The referee Skomina’s penalty scale today was a bit too loose. This game was already very intense, but there were only two yellow cards in this game, and many fouls seemed to be invisible.”
“Of course, this is also a way for the referee to find a balance, but now the more he finds, the more crooked he is!”
Liverpool’s counterattack failed.
The main reason was that Salah encountered a near-steal by Kante during the counterattack.
Yes!
Kante almost snatched the ball, but Salah reacted quickly, immediately counter-stealed, and passed the ball back.
For this reason, they still kept the ball.
Having lost the opportunity to counterattack, Liverpool did not rush to advance, but instead transferred the ball to both sides for testing.
Faced with this kind of temptation, Arsenal will not let the opponent succeed. Under strong pressure, the opponent was forced out of the penalty area.
At the same time, Arsenal's players in the frontcourt also retreated.
In the fierce confrontation, Lekai was also looking for opportunities to steal or intercept.
At this time, he saw Henderson pull the ball and turn around, and looked up at Skorchi's position.
Immediately, Lekai stepped forward and quickly made a tackle.
Lekai just got stuck in the channel of the pass and intercepted Henderson's transfer ball.
Hooking the ball and getting up, Lekai poked the ball out with his toes before the opponent blocked it.
The ball was directly poked to Dembele, and then Lekai ran at full speed towards Liverpool's penalty area.
And Dembele also quickly went to the bottom, opened up the distance, and directly picked the ball.
The ball flew to Liverpool's penalty area again.
Lukaku was double-teamed by Van Dijk and Matip again, but based on the experience from the last time, Lukaku stretched out his arms before jumping this time.
This prevented him from being disturbed by the opponent in the air, but he was still restricted and his jump height was not enough.
When his forehead touched the ball, he looked up and headed the ball high into the air.
Immediately, he fell to the ground.
This high-altitude ball also caused chaos in Liverpool's defense.
Wilshere, Lukay, and Aubameyang were all preparing to fight for the ball, as were other Liverpool players.
The most dangerous thing was that Lukay was closest to the ball.
"Don't let him jump!"
Henderson yelled.
But at this time, there was no one beside Lukay.
Lukay pushed the ground with his feet and jumped up.
In the air, Lukay's waist was bent enough, and he pulled his waist and abdomen hard, and his forehead suddenly hit the ball.
This time, Lukay headed to the upper right corner.
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson was still in the middle at this time and was completely unable to catch up.
There was a hint of joy in Lekai's eyes.
This ball has
Suddenly, a shiny black brined egg head appeared in the field of vision, and it was also just on the trajectory of the ball.
With a sound of "dong", the ball actually hit the black brined egg head and flew out.
At this moment, the entire Anfield stadium was silent.
Lekai landed, and he looked at the "teammate" in front of him wearing a blue away jersey in astonishment.
Arsenal fans were also stunned.
Mourinho on the sidelines even hugged his head, looking like he couldn't bear to watch.
That's right!
The person who blocked Lekai's must-goal was Lukaku.
"Lukaku!
! He appeared on the way to the shot, he used his head to help Liverpool complete the clearance, and at the same time killed Kai's must-goal!"
"This is a very dramatic thing. This goal was not destroyed by Liverpool players, but was blocked by Lukaku!"
Andy Gray held back his laughter and tried to keep calm.
Richard on the side shook his head and grinned; "If I were Kai, I would want to beat Lukaku up!"
At this time, Lukaku was also stunned.
He was very complicated.
The stadium is ever-changing, and any possibility exists.
But Lukaku is probably the only one who blocked his teammate's goal with the back of his head.
At this time, Lukaku seemed to realize what he had done wrong, and he was a little nervous.
He didn't even dare to look at Lukaku.
This is a war criminal-level performance.
If Arsenal lost the game because of this, he would probably be killed by Arsenal fans.
Even the Liverpool players looked at Lukaku and Lukaku with strange expressions, as if they were watching the fun.
Lukaku walked towards Lukaku with an expressionless face. He raised his hand slightly, and Lukaku subconsciously shrank his neck.
Lukaku gently patted Lukaku's shoulder and whispered:
"Remember to hide next time!"
Hearing this, Lukaku immediately nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
There was a look of relief on his face.
But Lekai was still very depressed, after all, such opportunities don't come often.
It can be said that any goal that was not taken can bring a huge change to the game.
Liverpool recovered a lost ball.
But they also had a headache about Arsenal's aerial tactics.
Under the pressure of continuous high balls, the pressure of Arsenal's various points of competition caught up.
Moreover, Lukaku's occasional forward insertions can bring greater uncertainty to Liverpool's defense.
Therefore, they must score the first goal in order to stabilize the situation of the game.
There were unexpected nodes in the game, but it did not eliminate the intensity of the game.
There will always be a funny scene in any game, and the protagonist of this game must be Lukaku.
Although he came on as a substitute, this "clearance" is expected to make him the front page headline of the media the next day.
Lukaku himself is also extremely depressed.
After all, anyone facing such things will feel extremely uneasy and emotionally frustrated.
This is especially true for Lukaku, but he still needs to adjust his mentality. In order to win the game, he can't let his temper get tough.
After the game resumed, the two sides still showed an offensive and defensive battle.
The defense on both sides was very solid, and at the same time, they could put great pressure on the opponent in the counterattack.
Since Chen Man left the court, Lukaku has been liberated.
Sturridge could not bring enough pressure to Lukay, so there was no need to stand in the backcourt to defend.
Lukay's forward position also provided great convenience for Arsenal's offensive advancement.
However, this convenience did not translate into a goal.
The game time unknowingly came to the 75th minute.
Arsenal made the second substitution.
Dembele left the court and Mane came on.
Mourinho still wanted to strengthen the pressure on the wing. Dembele's physical strength could not bring enough pressure to Liverpool, and Mane, who was in better condition at this time, might become the turning point of this game.
Liverpool did not make any substitutions.
Klopp stood on the sidelines with a serious expression.
Arsenal was difficult to play, especially when they lost the ball first. Although they turned the situation around, they still could not bring them enough chances of winning.
Are they going to draw with Arsenal at home again?
Klopp felt a little bitter.
Every time he faced Arsenal, it was always this situation.
In the past, when facing other teams, Liverpool was able to be the first to score a goal, thereby driving the situation of the next game.
But Arsenal is better at seizing opportunities, so they can often score goals faster.
This also cut off Liverpool's rhythm and made them play extremely passively.
Just like the current situation, Liverpool always encounters restrictions at various nodes of Arsenal in the offense, and finally uses the transfer method to try to open a gap from other aspects, but it will eventually be destroyed by Arsenal.
In this game, Chen Man was highly expected.
He did play well, but the problem was that Arsenal scored first, and they became the chasing party, and the final situation evolved into the current situation.
It can be said that Liverpool and Arsenal seem to be in a balance, but in some ways, Liverpool is the more passive party.
Now, Klopp can only put more hope on the cooperation between the midfield and the frontcourt.
Especially pressing.
Once a good steal is obtained in the hinterland of Arsenal, Liverpool will immediately get a chance to counterattack, thereby threatening Arsenal's goal and opening up the situation.
But facing Arsenal's stable midfield, this is also extremely difficult.
