“Huh~~~~~~~!
! "
Andy Gray took a long breath.
It is not difficult to see the intensity of the game from his emotions.
The speed of confrontation, rhythm progression, and transition between offense and defense is even more dazzling.
One second Arsenal was attacking, and the next second Liverpool counterattacked.
In the first half, both sides scored a goal each and both performed wonderful offensive performances.
It has to be said that Liverpool performed too well in the competition.
If Liverpool can perform like this in the league, they will not be in third place in the league.
At least he can have a chance with Arsenal and Manchester City during the long season.
However, it is probably a matter of focus during the season. Obviously Liverpool is more focused on the Champions League. For this reason, they have moderately retained some strength in the league, which also resulted in their inability to exert sufficient dominance in the league.
But all the accumulated energy was vented on Arsenal.
For Arsenal, after entering the end of the season, the intensity of the entire game is also different.
With outstanding results, Arsenal has become the underdog.
Whether it is the league, FA Cup or Champions League, he has become a thorn in the side of other teams and is being targeted crazily.
It can be said that every time we play against Arsenal, our intensity is high.
For this reason, Arsenal are very tired after every game.
Now we have won the league, but there is also the FA Cup and the Champions League.
The opponent in the FA Cup final is Manchester City.
It can be said that Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham are the three teams that have become Arsenal's biggest opponents on the road to five crowns.
But Arsenal have nothing to fear.
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.
If you want to gain enough honors, you have to put in enough effort and struggle.
For this reason, they are not afraid of such confrontation.
No matter who it is, they firmly believe that the final victory belongs to Arsenal.
Back on the field, after Liverpool scored, the game also entered the halftime break.
Throughout the first half, players from both teams fought extremely hard, which also led to serious physical exhaustion.
There was already enough competition pressure, but now it is even more of a high-intensity competition, which puts a huge strain on the bodies of the players on both sides.
After the players from both sides returned to the locker room, almost no one spoke. They took the time to recover and rest as much as possible.
They know very well that the second half of the game will be crucial, and any goal can turn the tide of the game.
"You performed very well in the second half of the first half. Yes, this is the rhythm we should play. Don't be led by the Arsenal midfielder. We must take the initiative to control our own offensive rhythm!"
Klopp shouted loudly.
In this situation, criticism has no effect. He needs to use encouragement to stimulate the players' fighting spirit.
After hearing the coach's affirmation, the Liverpool players became more and more confident.
On the other side, the same is true in the Arsenal dressing room.
Mourinho emphasized defense time and time again, and even the specific defensive positions were drawn.
"Don't just focus on speed when starting up, you have to know how to use your body to block positions!" Mourinho pulled Bellerin to teach by words and deeds.
Even take the initiative to demonstrate the card position.
Bellerín also knew the importance of his wing, so he listened carefully.
Other Arsenal players are resting and recovering their physical fitness.
"In the second half, the midfield was too slow. They deliberately accelerated the pace and wanted to win with the speed of the frontcourt. The best way to deal with it is to change the rhythm in the midfield so that their counterattacks cannot easily penetrate the midfield. Wire!"
"But they advanced very quickly!" Wilshere grinned; "This is the first time I've seen Henderson run so fast!"
"So, we need to strangle the midfield!" Le Kai said seriously: "We have used it before. Me, you and Kanter, when we stand, we must not only block the passing line, but also actively fight for it. ”
Snapped!
Lucky slapped Wilshere's leg hard and said, "Move your legs and run!"
Wilshere was in pain, covering his red leg and said aggrievedly: "Just tell me, why are you patting your leg?"
Lucky: "I'm afraid you won't remember!"
After that, Lucai stood up and said loudly: "Guys!"
Everyone looked at Lucky.
Lucky raised two fingers and said, "If we win this game, there are still two games left. These two games will determine whether we can win two championships! I don't think anyone is willing to give up this opportunity."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes became hot.
Yes!
As a professional player, no one can resist the temptation of the championship.
"I know you don't have much physical energy left, but this is the time to fight even more. You can't stop, and you can't stop your legs!"
Lucky punched loudly and powerfully.
"start running!"
"The second half of the game is about to begin, and the two sides have reached a 1:1 draw. For Liverpool, if they want to advance to the Champions League final, they still need to score two goals, and for Arsenal, they must ensure My own advantage! At least I can’t concede another goal to give Liverpool hope of a comeback!”
In the commentator's words, players from both sides began to walk onto the court.
The scene was still full of joy.
The cheers from Arsenal and Liverpool fans made the entire Emirates Stadium extremely lively.
The Champions League is the ultimate goal of every club and also the top goal.
Liverpool wants to win the Champions League again.
Arsenal wants to win the second Champions League, so they can't stop again.
The players from both sides came to the stadium and changed sides.
Neither team made any personnel adjustments in the second half, and it was obvious that the head coach still trusted the players on the field.
How the players performed in the second half would directly determine the places in the final.
In the second half, Arsenal took the lead in kicking off.
Giroud immediately passed the ball back and ran forward after the whistle sounded.
But he stopped after running for a while and did not penetrate too deep.
The actions of others were the same.
Arsenal no longer launched a fierce attack. They took the midfield as the core, created an advantage in numbers, and continuously conducted transmission to stabilize the rhythm.
Under Arsenal's style, Liverpool had to invest more players to press.
For this reason, the three forwards in the front court also retreated to press.
But in this way, Arsenal passed the ball to the backcourt, and then retreated again in the frontcourt, creating a numerical advantage again.
There are enough people in the midfield, which means more gaps and options for passing, and it is less likely to lose the ball.
And Arsenal is a way to stabilize the rhythm.
No matter where they are, Arsenal will create a numerical advantage.
And they are in a leading state, so they are not particularly anxious about it.
On the other hand, Liverpool was in trouble after seeing Arsenal's choice.
If you want to press and gain benefits, you have to invest more manpower, but where do these people come from?
If you withdraw players from the backcourt, you may face Arsenal's rhythm-changing counterattack.
It can be said that Arsenal has Liverpool at the beginning of the game.
Arsenal is not in a hurry, so they calmly rely on their numerical advantage to conduct transmission and continue to test you.
Liverpool is in a tangled situation.
On the one hand, they wanted to steal the ball, but on the other hand, they didn't want to put too much pressure on the defense.
In the end, the game became stagnant.
Arsenal was passing the ball, and Liverpool was stealing the ball.
For five minutes, Liverpool was almost played by Arsenal, which made them impatient.
"Get it back!"
"We can't let them delay the time!"
"Last one!"
With a loud roar, Liverpool players began to press forward.
Seeing the opponent's posture, Arsenal also understood it instantly.
Passing back all the way, the ball came to the feet of central defender Hummels.
Hummels passed the ball horizontally to Robertson, who didn't even raise his head and made a long pass directly. The ball fell along the sideline and landed in the gap on Liverpool's right wing.
And there, Dembele was running fast to chase the ball.
And Liverpool also hurriedly retreated, trying to grab the ball before Arsenal formed a counterattack.
"Be careful of his pass!"
Van Dijk shouted.
But Dembele's choice was much more decisive.
He went straight to the inside, and he didn't stop to wait for his teammates, which meant he wanted to do it himself.
