420 Leader

With a two-goal lead, Liverpool's dressing room looked excited, with all the players discussing the entire first half, especially Drogba's counter-attack against Campbell, which was talked about by his team-mates.

"It's better to piss off that bastard and just kill them!" Davis said arrogantly.

In the Liverpool team, he is quite compatible with Drogba and Essien, perhaps because of their similar skin color.

But this kind of atmosphere disappeared immediately after Yang Cheng walked into the locker room.

"I want to say that you played really well in the first half and I'm very proud of your performance, but I have to remind you that the real test of the game is just beginning!"

With these few games since the beginning of the league, Yang Cheng has conquered Liverpool's dressing room with his on-the-spot command and tactical arrangement, so when he said this, all the players immediately paid attention to it.

Everybody wants to win, to win on their home turf.

"I believe everyone knows in their hearts, how many catties of strength you have in your body now, and you know it!"

Yang Cheng's words made many players in the locker room laugh.

The running in the football game is not much higher than the ordinary running, and the intensity is many times higher than that of ordinary running, because the running in the football game is more emergency stopping, steering, acceleration, speed changing, etc., therefore, the same 1 km, the physical energy consumed by 1 km in the football game should be several times the physical energy consumed by running 1 km at a normal and uniform speed.

Moreover, Liverpool attacked fiercely in the first half, and the players were almost in the middle of sprinting and changing speeds, and the physical consumption was even greater.

'So, in the second half we have to make adjustments and we have to make adjustments!'

Yang Cheng's words were nodded and approved by everyone.

Even Davis, who is the most physically fit, may not dare to guarantee that he can continue to rush and play like in the first half, let alone other players?

"Vladimir, I'm sorry, we have to adjust our tactics in the second half, you have to get off!" Yang Cheng was blunt.

Smitchell nodded, his role in the first half was actually not very big, Yang Cheng gave him the task of sorting out the midfield, but under the noses of Vieira and Gilberto and others, he did not contribute much in this regard, but it was okay.

"Dietmar, you go in the second half!"

Harman listened and immediately nodded, he had already prepared.

"In the second half we have to shrink the lineup, don't press it, we play defensive counter-attack, Davis, Hamann play in the middle, Kuyt, keep an eye on Ashley Cole, Gerrard looks at Pire, Henry gives it to Finnan!"

Arsenal's attack is more concentrated on the left flank, with Ashley Cole, Andreas Pire and Thierry Henry in the left flank being a nightmare for all Premier League teams, with Yang Cheng using Kuyt, Steven Gerrard and Finnan to freeze them.

"Robben, in the second half you continue to press in front, our counterattack depends on you, especially pay attention to Lauren on the right side of the opponent, don't let him come up, understand?" Yang Cheng solemnly explained.

Robben nodded, as long as he stuck to the opponent's defense line on the left, Lauren didn't dare to go up, because he had to guard against Robben's counterattack at any time, with the speed of the Dutch, as soon as Lauren went up, after being beaten and counterattacked, he couldn't come back at all.

"Reese, watch Ljungberg carefully!"

After explaining the task, Yang Cheng clapped his hands vigorously.

"Guys, I'm very happy with your performance in the first half, but it's only been 45 minutes, and we have reason to believe that Arsenal will fight back in the second half, you have to remember the defensive routines that we have practiced in training, we have to complement each other, we have to start from the striker, from the first line!"

All the Liverpool players stood up and said in unison: "Understood! ”

"If the first half was a test of our attack, then the second half was a test of our will, and whoever is more hungry for a win, who is more determined, will be able to win this game."

Speaking of this, Yang Cheng smiled, "I just received the news that Manchester United is falling behind at Old Trafford in Manchester, what does this mean, I believe everyone knows better than me." ”

As soon as I heard the news, the entire locker room suddenly exploded.

If Manchester United loses, then Liverpool only need to beat Arsenal to reach the top of the Premier League. , Gerald suddenly red-eyed, gritted his teeth and said: "Fight, fuck it, let's fight with them!" "Yes, we fight, we want to win the title, we want to win the Premier League!" Carragher roared through gritted teeth.

As native-born Liverpool players, they grew up hungry for trophies and to be able to recreate the glory of Liverpool's Red Dynasty, but year after year, the results they get have been disappointing.

Fowler, McManaman, Owen...... One by one, Kirkby's children left Liverpool, with regret and sadness, leaving their favorite team, but none of those who stayed did not bravely take on this responsibility.

"Guys, we're fighting!" Hyypia stepped forward, clenching his fists and waving them.

"We've never been at the top of the league for years, and this time, we're going to go out and fight, even if it's just for a week, a day, or even just a minute!"

"Yes, let's go out and fight with them!" Gerald shouted.

Seeing the high morale of these local players, even Davis, who has been baptized in countless professional leagues, can't help but be a little moved, once upon a time, he was like them, full of hunger for championships and honors.

Now, the championship is nothing to him, but he is still eager to help Liverpool succeed, because this is the best way for him to prove himself, let Moggi, let Lippi, let the Juventus team that blocked him see, banning him Boar Davies, is the deadliest mistake they have ever made!

…………

…………

Arsene Wenger stood on the side of the pitch and watched the two sides on the pitch fight back and forth, his expression filled with a mood called depression, even anger.

That bastard called Yang Cheng was so shameless, he actually put on an ironclad defense in the second half, and even Drogba frequently retreated to the midfield to participate in the defense, leaving a fast Robben in front of him to counterattack.

After a desperate crazy attack in the first half and a two-goal advantage, in the second half, he cowered like a soft egg in his own half to defend and counterattack, is there a more annoying opponent than this?

"It's fucking like a hedgehog!" Wenger scolded.

Pat Rice wanted to laugh but couldn't because he knew Arsenal were in a bad situation.

If it's just that the score is behind, it doesn't matter, but on the contrary, it's not just the score behind, the opponent also starts to shrink the defense.

I have to admit that in the end, it is the head coach who has achieved success in Serie A, Liverpool under the coaching of Yang Cheng, the defense is really very organized and targeted, and the entire left-sided attack that Arsenal relies on most cannot open the situation at all.

"They are very limited in terms of space, and they simply don't give us enough space to play it!" Pat Rice's depressed analysis.

Without space, Thierry Henry couldn't get up, Pire and Ashley Cole were limited in role, and Wiltord in the box was watched to death, and Arsenal's entire left side was completely scrapped.

As for the right side, although there is a Ljungberg, Robben always roams on the left side, and Liverpool's counterattacks also rely on Robben to play, so that Lauren does not dare to press easily, and Ljungberg is helpless in front alone.

From the beginning of the entire second half to the present, Arsenal has taken the initiative, but Liverpool's defense has always been orderly, without the slightest chaos, once the ball enters the vital position, it is immediately defused by Liverpool, or played into a counterattack, or directly cleared the siege.

"Fuck, why didn't he just put all 11 people in the restricted area?" Arsene Wenger burst into rage.

This kind of game is undoubtedly the most shocking, people in the first half but really did with you for 45 minutes, you took the lead, but in the second half turned your face and didn't recognize people, and directly fought a steady counterattack, isn't this to make people vomit blood?

After a pause, Wenger turned his head to the side and asked, "When?" ”

"It's been 61 minutes!" Pat Rice answered.

"Fuck!" Wenger broke out another foul language, this seemingly gentle professor, has exploded countless foul words so far in the second half, fortunately no one has found out, otherwise, it is estimated that it will become big news.

Pat Rice also knew he was in trouble and looked at Arsene Wenger, waiting for his latest instructions. "Let Bergkamp and Kanu warm up and be on at 65 minutes!" Wenger took a deep breath and made up his mind.

When Pat Rice heard this, he immediately knew that Wenger was going to fight hard, and he was replaced by a front-court attacker at once, and immediately took the order. The ghost is mighty and no one is Shacha

Four minutes later, taking advantage of a dead goal, Arsenal replaced Gilberto and Pire, who had a poor performance throughout the game, and replaced Bergkamp and Kanu in one go!

…………

…………

"Wow, do you want to scare people to death by having too many people?" Yang Cheng smiled.

After Benitez and Paul Bair and others heard this, they shook their heads in unison, this guy is too nouveau riche.

However, Yang Cheng quickly issued an order, "Let Essien warm up and prepare to play!" ”

"Replace whom?" Paul Byer asked.

"Robben!" Yang Cheng said seriously.

Benitez was stunned for a moment, then laughed, shook his head and said: "Wenger will be so angry with you that he vomits blood!" ”

"It's better to him off directly!" Yang Cheng said.

It didn't take long for Essien to replace Robben, and Liverpool began their 451 tactic, leaving a Drogba in front of him to torture Arsenal's defenders, Kuyt was still suppressing Ashley Cole, but the midfield was suddenly stacked with Davies, Essien, Hamann and Gerrard, the four beast-level midfielders.

"If I were Arsene Wenger, I'd have a breakdown!" Paul Byer laughed, "I'm out of breath!" ”

"You're so shameless!" Benitez laughed.

Yang Cheng also laughed, he has also studied this set of tactics, the midfielders are all physical bulls, a group of beasts, let them all out, not to mention messing around, it can also kill Arsenal's midfielders, so that they can't organize an effective attack.

"That's why I often say that football games are not the same as fighting, you can't just get it with a lot of people!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.

Benitez really had a feeling of being defeated, and he really wanted to ask him, you don't rely on a lot of people, why do you put so many guys who can run in the midfield?

But he didn't say this, because he knew very well that as soon as he said it, Yang Cheng would definitely make him feel bad.

This guy is next to Bibao and is not a good bird!

…………

…………

Liverpool's midfield gave full play to Yang Cheng's tactical intentions, holding the defensive principle of dividing the opponent's midfield, fully occupying space, and leaving not even a seam for Arsenal.

Once they couldn't stop it, they would decisively choose to foul in a place where it wasn't dangerous, but it was basically a small fight, and although Davis got a yellow card for it, everyone else was spared. After the link between the midfield and the forward line was severed by Liverpool's midfield, Arsene Wenger will tragically find that no matter how many people are stacked in front of him, he will have to start letting Bergkamp and Thierry Henry drop back.

In this way, we have gone back to the previous situation.

In the 79th minute, Arsene Wenger couldn't help himself and replaced Wiltord with Parlour, apparently trying to use his runs to connect the midfield, but the effect was still mediocre.

Yang Cheng still had a substitution on hand, but he simply didn't need it.

And so time passed slowly.

For Arsene Wenger, he would have liked to have it longer, preferably as long as he could, but he also found it to be of little use because his players were already out of fitness.

In this case, not to mention the offense, the technical moves are starting to deform.

On the contrary, it is Liverpool, who is very capable in defense, and the overall formation is still in order, and that group of guys is too capable of running.

…………

…………

The whole Anfield stadium became very tense, with a precursor to the coming rain.

Although the fans in the stands were still shouting and the players on the pitch were still playing in an orderly manner, everyone was still nervous.

Tactically, perhaps, it looks easy, but in the game, Bergkamp, Kanu, Thierry Henry, Ljungberg, Patrick Vieira, when you face an attack created by such a group of players, no one will feel easy.

Liverpool is holding on with a breath, sticking to the defensive routine practiced by Yang Cheng before the game, doing his best to freeze every inch of space, so that Arsenal's attacks again and again are in vain.

The fans seemed to feel the will of Liverpool, and everyone was deeply infected. On the bench, even those players who knew they wouldn't have a chance to play anymore were now staring at the field one by one, watching intently, breathing rapidly, as if they were also fighting for their last breath like their teammates on the field.

In the stands, the fans sang the team song "You Never Walk Alone", and the loud team song sounded at Anfield Stadium, setting off the current scene, which added a bit of enthusiasm and impulse.

This is Liverpool!

That kind of united, struggling Liverpool football is back!

Steven Gerrard, the player who best represents Liverpool's tradition, struggled to cramp and fell to the pitch, but he soon struggled to get back to his feet and continue to play.

However, he made a mistake and was passed by Bergkamp, but Essien immediately rushed up behind him and made a direct tackle, putting Bergkamp to the ground with the ball.

This sliding tackle made Essien get the cheers of the KOPs in the audience.

Sometimes, to conquer the fans, all it takes is one tackle, and that's enough!

The whole team, everyone, under the tide of Arsenal's attack, have tightened the last trace of attention, everyone stared at the opponent, gritted their teeth to support, stood in front of the opponent, their eyes revealed resoluteness, never retreat!

Manchester United, lost!

Just win this game and we'll be on top of it!

We can be at the top of the Premier League!

For so many years, for so many years, we have been looking forward to the top of the Premier League again and again, we have been ridiculed and humiliated by the enemy again and again, but we have climbed back again and again, just to one day, to be able to ascend this throne.

It doesn't matter if it's a week, a day, an hour, or even a minute.

All Liverpudlians are willing to do everything for this!

…………

…………

Little Ronaldo was sitting on the bench, and he was also watching the game, watching the group of teammates.

In the past, he didn't like this way of playing with brute force, but now, he has to admit that he is infected by the fighting spirit of his teammates, by the countless Liverpool fans in the stands.

He hated to be one of them himself!

It was the first time he had resonated with this group of teammates, albeit only mentally, and he understood why they were so persistent, so persistent, because he was the same himself.

Their purposes are different, Gerrard is to prove Liverpool, Davies is to get revenge on those who banned him, Drogba, Essien and many others are just out of work ethic and are infected by the atmosphere and the situation of the game, and Ronaldo is to prove himself in front of those who look down on him.

Although each has its own purpose, the way they choose is the same, which is to beat their opponents on the court!

The moment the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the entire Anfield stadium was completely bursting out!

The excitement that has been accumulated for 90 minutes has been completely released!

All the Liverpool fans rushed out of their seats like crazy, rushed to the front of the fence, and shouted at the players on the pitch.

Liverpool players and staff on the bench rushed onto the pitch and chased the players to celebrate.

2-0 win against Arsenal, it wasn't easy!

But what is even more difficult is that with this game, they reversed their opponents and reached the top of the Premier League for the first time, becoming the leader of the league!

This is something that countless Liverpool fans have been waiting for for a long time.

Although there is no guarantee of how long Liverpool will be able to stay in this position, and even the vast majority of professionals are not optimistic about Liverpool, and do not feel that they can use this group of young players to keep the league top until the end of the season, after all, the league has just begun.

But, no matter what, none of this can stop the excitement and celebration from Liverpool at this moment.

At least at this moment, they are the first in the league, the leader! (To be continued) [This text is provided by the Ghost of Sailing]
