Volume 3 The Myth of the Gunslinger Chapter 145 Ordered in Danger

Neither side scored in the first half, and after the break, neither side made any further substitutions, almost the original team was killed again.

In the first half, Liverpool and Arsenal were in a restrained state for most of the time, and Arsenal was worried that Liverpool's impact was too strong, so the backfield had to maintain a certain thickness, so it could be described as calm in this game, and the attack was step-by-step. For Liverpool, although Arsenal lacks the rhythm of the rapid attack in the past, in the face of one of the best attacking lines in the Premier League, it is still the first place to defend well.

But in the second half, both sides were much less careful, the pace of the attack was much faster than in the first half, and wonderful scenes were endless, from time to time causing bursts of cheers and screams from the fans in the stands.

But what really made the two sides let go of the attack came from a controversial decision, in the 58th minute, Gerrard's free kick was blocked by Alexander Song with his body, Maxi got the ball in the penalty area and shot decisively, Vermaelen did not dodge, the ball hit Vermaelen's shoulder, Liverpool's players asked for a penalty, referee Webb thought that it was not intentional handball, Vermaelen also made a dodge action, but did not dodge, so no penalty was awarded.

Webber's decision was not unreasonable, but the Liverpudlian people really wanted to win, thinking that the referee had a home mood and was biased towards the home team, and as soon as the anger came up, this reason was put aside, and immediately began to charge Arsenal's defense with all their might.

Liverpool strengthens the offensive, Arsenal will never be at a disadvantage in front of more than 60,000 fans at home, this is Arsenal's historical style, no matter what team it faces, even if it is a loss, it will definitely not admit defeat on the field, Liverpool wants to attack, Arsenal will definitely accompany it.

Liverpool's team is very conservative when it is conservative, when Benitez and Mourinho played in the Champions League, they beat Mourinho without a little temper with their defensive counterattacks, but once Liverpool was angry, the blood surname was full, Gerrard and Kuyt rushed up like a small tank, Arsenal's two-layer defense seemed to be a little shaky under the impact of the two people, which made Arsenal fans feel fortunate that Liverpool did not have Torres, otherwise the lack of Li Huan's back line may not be able to block.

However, Arsenal is by no means passively beaten, stimulated by the opponent, Fabregas, Walcott, Bendtner, Rosicky The speed of cooperation has accelerated, constantly shuttling back and forth on Liverpool's backline, making Liverpool's defenders dizzy.

In the 65th minute, the first goal of the game finally appeared.

Cesc Fabregas passed, Bendtner wanted to pass the ball to Walcott, but the first pass was blocked, Bendtner was tall but not clumsy, he immediately took the ball again and made a 360-degree turn and split the ball to the right side, Rosicky inserted a cross, at this time, Diaby, who had been in the back midfield, did not know when to come up, he flanked the middle and jumped high from 12 yards to head the goal.

1:0. Arsenal took the lead.

After the goal, Diaby excitedly ran to the sidelines and hugged Wenger, the controversial midfielder has been generous this season, Diaby has scored 8 goals for Arsenal, including 7 league goals and 1 Champions League goal, rapid forward and powerful headers, is his secret weapon, but at the beginning of the season, Diaby has been criticized by the media, because he is too lonely, does not pass, the defense is not stable, and he will never become Vieira's successor, but Wenger has no doubts about his use, Diabi has finally changed his original problem of being a bit of a two, and is getting stronger and stronger.

The fans cheered, chanting Diaby's name and were thrilled that he had broken down the opponent's goal.

"goalgoalgoal......" the narrator shouted, "Diabi! No. 2 Diaby! He opened the door to victory for the Gunners with his goals, and at the crucial moments, his forward insertion made the difference in the game, Diaby's height, strength and impact are no worse than Bendtner's, and his forward insertion can make up for Arsenal's lack of high points......"

But the commentator's comments were not over, and the game immediately changed again, Liverpool quickly kicked off in the midfield, and then launched a counterattack, midfielder Mascherano wanted to hoist the ball into the box, but the ball was cleared by Vermaelen, Diaby wanted to head the ball away from the box, but under the interference of Kuyt, Diaby did not reach the ball, and the ball fell right in front of Gerrard. The Liverpool captain didn't stop the ball and followed up with a long-range shot.

The ball was about 35 metres from goal, but Gerrard's shot was powerful and lightning fast and volleyed, giving goalkeeper Almunia a short time to react, and when he started to save, the ball bounced off the left post and into the net, but Almunia's save didn't make a difference.

1:1 Draw!

The more than 60,000 Arsenal fans at the scene were stunned as if they had been slapped in the head, and they were still celebrating Diaby's goal, when they suddenly looked up to find that the world had changed, and the opponent had scored again.

There was silence on the pitch, with only a handful of Liverpool fans cheering.

The narrator stammered in shock, "Go up...... God, ...... It's unthinkable that a goal was scored, and the difference between the two goals was only a minute. Gerrard, it was Gerrard's goal, he was the patron saint of Liverpool, he used the goal to help the team recover the disadvantage, and now we have to ask: what about the patron saint of Arsenal, what about our top scorer, what about our best defender, Li Huan, now the fans are calling his name, Wenger, Arsèna, do you hear, now the fans are calling Li Huan, can't Li Huan even support it for twenty minutes? I don't believe it, I don't think anyone believes that Li Huan's physical fitness can't be 20 minutes. ”

The fans in the stadium are chanting Li Huan's name in unison, they hope that Li Huan can play, time is getting less and less, and the fans have less and less confidence in the team, they hope for the emergence of a savior, and now, the savior is sitting on the bench and doing nothing.

Wenger still didn't mean to make a substitution, he heard the fans' calls, and even Li Huan began to ask him to fight, but Wenger has his own considerations, Li Huan's physical fitness is only enough to support half a game, but Li Huan's ankle may not be able to support high-intensity exercise, in case of another injury, the team will be over. He wanted to observe it again. Let's see if there is any hope of scoring.

Liverpool is even more crazy after the goal, Arsenal and Liverpool compared to Liverpool, age structure, physical fitness and tactical accomplishment, Arsenal has no advantage, only the skills are left with superficial skills, and only skills are destined to be useless. Arsenal dominated possession, but were not as dangerous as Liverpool, and the crazy Liverpudlian had the potential to turn the score around.

Wenger finally made the decision to make a substitution, he saw that his players were looking forward to Li Huan playing, and pinned their hopes on Li Huan coming off the bench, if Li Huan was not allowed to play again, maybe his team would really be overwhelmed.

"Lee, you're ready to play. Pay attention to your body for a while, you must not get injured again, it doesn't matter if you win or lose a game, your body is the most important. Wenger walked to the coach's bench and said solemnly to Li Huan.

Li Huan smiled slightly and said: "Coach, it's all important, if I am never sick or injured, and the team has always been mediocre, it is better to have a small injury." ”

Wenger nodded slightly and said, "Then I'll leave it to you." ”

"Don't worry, the Red Army is dead!"

Li Huan walked out of the bench and began to warm up, and Li Huan's figure running on the side of the court attracted almost all the attention. The stands began to call Li Huan's name rhythmically, for a player who has not yet played, this kind of treatment is a supreme honor, the players on the bench and on the field saw this with envy, jealousy, admiration, all the players are thinking, if one day I can get such treatment, it is worth retiring immediately.

In the 70th minute, Li Huan came on the field, replaced Eboue, and continued to play his right-back position.

This is the first time Li Huan has appeared on the professional field after 21 days of suspension due to injury, and there was deafening applause in the stands.

After Li Huan came on the field, he immediately conveyed the professor's instructions to his teammates, Wenger's defense in the middle, and strengthened the breakthrough of the two wings, Alexander. Song focuses on defense, while French defender Diaby boldly moves forward and is more involved in the team's offensive system to increase the team's high point.

After Li Huan came on the field, the effect was immediate, and Liverpool's attack on the left side immediately stopped. It's too late for Suya to defend Li Huan, where is there still a chance to assist. The change immediately caused a chain reaction, with Arsenal having a lot of hands on the right to strengthen the left and centre, and freeing up attacking personnel in the middle.

The Liverpool back line was forced to retreat, Arsenal gradually took control of the initiative on the field, Fabregas and Walcott were also more energetic after Li Huan came on the field, one in the middle and the other on the left, echoing Li Huan and putting pressure on Liverpool together.

Benitez also reacted quickly, seeing Li Huan on the field, he also made adjustments to the team a few minutes later, Carragher in the back line became Degen, and Lucas in midfield was replaced by Babel who was younger and more courageous. Benitez switched the two men to strengthen his control on the left flank, as well as to strengthen the attack. But it is difficult to say how much of a role it can play in actual combat.
