Highbury Stadium was packed, Gunners fans packed the stands, and everyone was in the same mood as Arsene Wenger.

Refreshing!

Then start expecting a big win!

One reason for this result is that Liverpool's start was so bad.

The game has just begun, Bol's whistle has just sounded, and even the whistle is still in his mouth, Liverpool made a mistake in passing, Arsenal broke the ball and counterattacked, Liverpool's entire back line was constantly retreating, Carragher saw that he couldn't stop Yuli, a foul.

A yellow card and a free kick in front!

Not too much, Carragher was not wrong, because although there was Hyypia behind him at that time, once Henry rushed with the ball, no one wanted to stop him, so he used a yellow card to stop Henry's one-on-one shot.

But the result?

Pire's free-kick, Vieira's header, Arsenal take the lead!

If that's all there is to it, it would be a little better, and Vieira actually rushed to Yang Cheng and yelled, celebrating wantonly on their goal lead in the opening game.

Liverpool was sad and fell behind at the beginning!

This goal caught Liverpool a little off guard, and even Yang Cheng couldn't react.

But in the 6th minute, Liverpool had not yet reacted from the first goal, Henry shot from outside the penalty area, hit the foot of the defending Gata Johnson, and folded into the Liverpool goal, Reina could not do anything about this goal from his teammates, and could only watch Arsenal lead, 2:0

With a two-goal lead in six minutes, Arsenal fans do have reason to expect a big win.

Wenger also looked very happy on the sidelines, smiling, that face was like a blooming chrysanthemum, the brows that had been locked for more than a month were finally loosened, and it seemed that the French also felt that they had won.

Yes, in their own home stadium, with a two-goal lead in the opening six minutes, is there a better advantage than that?

"The hapless Liverpool, we really don't know how to describe them except to use the adjective Ya Mould, and it's clear that the accidental goal conceded in the first minute made a big mess for them." Andy and Gray couldn't believe it.

"In this case, what Liverpool should consider should be to stabilize the situation as soon as possible, Arsenal's offensive is too fierce!"

"Henry, another through pass from Pire's in the middle, Henry got into the penalty area ......, Reina, it's great, Reina defused Henry's one-on-one ball very well this time, and he appeared in time where he was needed most."

"Liverpool is completely messed up, Yang Cheng should make adjustments as soon as possible, otherwise, Liverpool will be scored more goals by Arsenal!"

The Gunners fans at the scene were very happy, because they themselves also knew that Arsenal was the best at playing this kind of tailwind, and once it was played, no one could stop it, so they scored 2 goals in the opening game and won the game!

"What's the mess? Hold it for me! ”

Yang Cheng walked to the sidelines and shouted at Davis nearby, "You are the most experienced veteran of the team, steady, don't mess around!" ”

Hearing Yang Cheng's shout, Davis was a little sober, and he immediately realized that this game would be troublesome.

The whole scene is a mess, Liverpool's players are in a mess, and they need to be given some buffer time.

That's when he saw Ashley Cole coming with the ball.

With Gilberto and Edu both injured and sidelined, Arsene Wenger made adjustments, Pire returned to the middle, Ashley and Cole were pushed up at left midfield, the Gunners had excellent speed and stamina, and he was so impactful on the flanks that he went straight and straight that Wenger described him as a train.

Wenger's intention is obvious, the left side of the defense must be a hole, and he may not be able to defend it, especially a very unreliable Klich, so he simply attacked the left side, allowing Klich, Ash, Cole and Henry to roam on this side, pressing Liverpool's right side.

This situation became evident after the opening kick-off, with Liverpool under a lot of pressure down the right.

As soon as Davis saw Ashley Cole, he immediately thought of his responsibilities when he was on the right side, and immediately pounced on it, and directly kicked the shovel, Ashson Cole couldn't dodge, and was directly shoveled by Davis to the ground, and secretly hit his calf. ,

However, only Davis and Ashpocole themselves know about this situation.

The Dutchman has been playing football for so many years, and he has been playing in Serie A for so long, and he understands the essence of this.

Ashsonker flipped to the ground, Davis successfully broke the ball, then pretended to be innocent, looked at Ashley Cole, and immediately kicked the ball out of bounds, what a sportsmanship.

"My ***, how dare you go down with black feet?" Vieira was nearby, and as soon as he saw Ashley, Kerr fell to the ground and hugged his legs, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, rushed up directly and pushed Davis away.

Davis was suddenly pushed away, and he was not happy, and immediately rushed up and pushed back, and the two of them were like this, with their heads on top of the bull.

However, I have to say that the gap between the two is too big.

Hyypia rushed up from behind at this time, and he didn't pay attention to anything, when he heard Vieira threatening Davis, "I'm going to break your leg!" ”

"Hey, bastard, you're going to fight at me, you have the ability to pick one who is about the same size as you!" Hyypia immediately rushed forward, pulled Davis away, and stood in front of Vieira, not giving an inch.

"If you really have that ability, you should be in Madrid by now, splash the ball!" After Davis was pulled away by Hyypia, he was not to be outdone and returned the salute to Vieira.

The Frenchman immediately became furious and pointed at Davis, I will break your legs, definitely! ”

"I'm not afraid of you, come on" little ghost! "Davis doesn't lose to him either.

The referee immediately came up to separate the two groups, and Hyypia immediately complained to Bol about what he heard, and Vieira immediately cried out, "I didn't threaten anyone!" ”

For these commonly used tricks on the court, Bol can't help it, they are all adults, and they are all strong men who play football, if they are threatened a few words, they are soft eggs, go home quickly, don't play football.

"In short, I warn you, my law enforcement will be very strict, very rigorous, and very fair in this game, if you don't have confidence in my law enforcement, then just try it, this is my advice!" Pol is very impartial.

When the two sides heard Pol say this, they immediately dispersed.

Ashecole was still on the pitch, waiting for Bol to call him a stretcher and be examined by the team doctor.

Yang Cheng took advantage of this period of time to call the players to the sidelines.

"Hey, guys, what are you doing?" Yang Cheng gritted his teeth and shouted loudly.

The whole Highbury stadium was turned upside down, and if you didn't make it louder, the players wouldn't hear it.

"Have you forgotten the task I gave you? How do I explain to you? ”

"You can't let the game be led by the nose like this, they just want you to be like this, calm down, it's just 2 balls, believe me, you will definitely be able to pull it back, the most important thing is to stabilize the situation first!"

Yang Cheng excitedly pointed to the player and instructed.

I saw him pat Essien, Carrick and the others on the head vigorously, signaling that they should all be sober.

"Michael......." Yang Cheng pointed at Carrick, "I'm very dissatisfied with your performance, you can't forget how to stabilize the rhythm, right?" Or do you think there's hope for them to slow down the rhythm like this? ”

Yang Cheng spoke quickly, and after finishing speaking, without waiting for Carrick to react, he immediately turned to Gega Johnson.

"Hey" boy, don't remember that own goal, I know you did your best, if you want to atone for your sins, just get me one too! ”

Then he immediately turned to Drogba, and immediately pulled the Ivorians and Robben and Rojna Jr. together.

"Remember the tactics we practiced before the game, try it in the game, we will have a chance, understand?"

After explaining so much in one breath, Yang Cheng immediately clapped his hands, "Get Pire and Vieira for me!" ”

Essien, Carrick, and Davis all nodded.

In the distance, Bol was already urging for a resumption of play, and the players immediately dispersed and returned to the pitch.

Despite Arsene Wenger's bloody accusations against Liverpool's players, Ash's Cole was not in much trouble, and Davies was very measured, so the England full-backs were soon back on the pitch, and Davies escaped for his own small moves.

But after this foul and a pause, Liverpool took the opportunity to steady, so when Arsenal returned to the game, it was immediately found that Liverpool was no longer chaotic, especially in midfield. ,

Arsenal are good at playing tailwind, but the style of play is soft, so Davies and Essien, the two tough midfielders, are always eyeing Vieira and Pire, because they are Arsenal's metronomes and playmakers.

Patrick Vieira and Davis, the two hot midfielders, made this game start to be full of gunpowder.

In the past, when he was at Juventus, Davies was one of the top midfielders in the world, but he was later banned at Juventus, and in the past two years, Vieira has become famous, faintly known as the world's No. 1 midfielder, especially the ambiguity between him and Real Madrid this summer, and the hype has made it seem to confirm this fame.

But Davies's performance in Liverpool this season is also very eye-catching, although he is not as good as Gerrard in attack, but as a midfielder, Davies's contribution is very large, and both offensive and defensive ends have shown a near-peak state, making the two faintly compete with each other.

When Pire lost his balance and fell to the ground after being hit by Essien, he deliberately imitated Davis and secretly kicked Essien, only to be caught by the referee and directly gave him a yellow card.

But that didn't make the two teams any more restrained, especially after Ashecole cut inside down the left and was cut off by Gerga Johnson, who suddenly fell into the box and Bol was aware of it and refused to award a penalty.

Arsenal began to complain around Bol, believing that the referee was biased towards Liverpool, for which Bol also verbally warned many Arsenal players, signaling them to be calmer.

"Here we go again, here we go again!" Anqin Gray was a little tired, "It seems that they can't get rid of the old habit of liking to appeal, and how do you feel that the temper of the leading Arsenal players is more fiery than that of Liverpool's players?" ”

Yang Cheng in front of the away team's coach's bench was very calm, he clasped his hands in front of his chest, silently watching all this, but from time to time at some stakes, he would go to the sidelines and pour cold water on the players to keep them calm.

Arsenal players can easily get out of control, but Liverpool can't.

And as Vieira and Pire's temper was ignited, they began to become a little agitated, but Davis, Essien and Carrick all focused on taking care of the two of them and limiting their play, which was more like Mars hitting the earth, and the midfield of the two teams was full of sparks.

However, in this way, the organization of Arsenal's midfield has become intermittent and began to be chaotic, while Liverpool are looking to get through the midfield quickly, once they get the ball, they rarely stay in the midfield, directly to the wings, to the full-backs, but the real threat is Carrick's through ball to Drogba.

With the rise of Yang Cheng, data is becoming more and more important to the head coach, and almost every game, every head coach will have a copy of the opponent's player data on hand, covering all the abandoned faces, which Sky TV's OPTA local data company would like to thank Yang Cheng, because it was Caesar who led the way, causing this trend.

Arsene Wenger also has Drogba's stats on hand, including his dangerous shooting areas, the percentage of shots on target in each area, the level of threat, and his area of activity.

As the game progressed, Arsene Wenger noticed a strange scene, and that was that Drogba's area of activity seemed to have changed.

He remembers very well that the player used to be most active in the area at the edge of the penalty area, as he had to use his body to carve out the enemy's defensive space and create opportunities for Gerrard in the back row.

But now a noticeable change is that whenever Liverpool get the ball, Drogba always pulls out and almost always walks in front of the Arsenal goal to the area of about the metre.

This is a very strange change, and the change brought about by this change is that in order to prevent Drogba from taking the ball smoothly and turning around, Arsenal's central defenders must come out with one, and that's not all, because of Drogba's monster, Vieira, as a midfielder, must always pay attention.

After Drogbala came out, Liverpool's three articles remained more compact, the players were more connected to each other, tighter, and more solid defensively, coupled with Davies and Essien in the midfield, so that Arsenal's original smooth passing and receiving coordination was completely unworkable, and they were stopped out of Liverpool's hinterland again and again. ,

"Could it be to pull back to pick up the midfield?" Pat, Rice analyzed.

Without Steven Gerrard's insertion, Liverpool's midfield has one less way to connect with the attack, one less threatening point, and Drogba's drop back can fill this to the maximum.

But in this way, Liverpool's front field has no fulcrum, how to play?

Arsene Wenger would not be naïve enough to think that Liverpool were overwhelmed by Arsenal because Drogba's retreat had caught the attention of at least two of Arsenal's players.

Looking at Arjen Robben and Ronaldo on either side, Wenger began to have a vague but dangerous signal.

"Let both Lauren and Chrissy pay attention to Robben and Cristiano on the wing. Ronaldo, let Campbell go up and carry Drogba, Toure behind him to help defend, pay attention to protection. Arsene Wenger made an immediate adjustment.

It was a timely change, as Liverpool immediately launched an attack as soon as Arsene Wenger made the change.

When Liverpool broke the ball successfully, Drogba continued to retreat as usual, and the ball soon found its way to Carrick's feet, who dribbled the ball back and forth, and tucked it into Drogba's feet.

The Ivorian received the ball at the wrong time, as soon as he got the ball, he was forced by Campbell behind him, and he couldn't turn around, so he had to knock the ball back to Carrick, who ran out of the open space.

As soon as the England centre-back got the ball, he rubbed a ball over the top and went straight past Campbell, while Robben cut in quickly from the left, almost chasing the ball.

Colo Toure had been instructed by Arsene Wenger to be mindful of the protection of the area, anticipating where the ball would fall, leaping high and heading it out to clear a Liverpool attack.

Immediately, there was a burst of cheers from the stands at Highbury Stadium, and it was clear that the Gunners fans were also excited about Kojitoure's performance.

Defusing the opponent's attack is equivalent to gaining more advantages for your own side!

Arsene Wenger began to smile when he saw Toure's header cleared.

"It seems that you are right, Yang Cheng is going to use Drogba's retreat as a fulcrum, and Carrick's forward insertion will hit the back, this guy has suddenly changed so much, it is really unexpected!" Pat, Rice laughed.

If it weren't for Wenger's quick adjustment and being directly beaten by Yang Cheng, then Arsenal would be really dangerous.

Wenger looked at the away team's coach's box, Yang Cheng shook his head, he thought Yang Cheng was regretting the missed opportunity, and smiled even more.

But in fact, Yang Cheng was complaining to Paul and Bayer.

"Didn't you tell Carrick to time Drogba's pullback? It's too early! ”

Bao Bubeier smiled bitterly, "I told him, I think he must be looking for an opportunity, and the cooperation between him and Drogba still needs to be tried, wait!" ”

Yang Cheng looked at the time, this was only a minute passed, and there was indeed some time.

He wasn't worried about falling behind by 2 goals, but he was afraid that the players wouldn't be able to play the effect he wanted.

Sometimes the head coach designs tactical routines according to the characteristics of the players, and the key depends on how well the players actually use them on the field.

Yang Cheng took great pains to carve the trident of Drogba, Robben and Xiao Xiaoluo, but he finally felt that the time was right, and decided to change the shotgun and use it, of course he hoped to see the fruits of his labor.

Turning his head sideways, he saw Wenger smiling, Yang Cheng pursed his lips, and scolded in his heart, "You laugh, laugh as much as you want, you won't be able to laugh after a while!" ”。 The Highbury Stadium was packed, the Gunners fans packed the stands, and every single one of them was in the same mood as Arsene Wenger.

Refreshing!

Then start expecting a big win!

One reason for this result is that Liverpool's start was so bad.

The game has just begun, Bol's whistle has just sounded, and even the whistle is still in his mouth, Liverpool made a mistake in passing, Arsenal broke the ball and counterattacked, Liverpool's entire back line was constantly retreating, Carragher saw that he couldn't stop Yuli, a foul.

Pire's free-kick, Vieira's header, Arsenal take the lead!
