'Liverpool scored the equaliser! The scorer is Steven Gerrard! Cenden's assist, Lauren's defense is useless! Since the start of the new season, there are players in the Arsenal squad who are in explosive form, but there are also players who are in persistently bad form, such as Lauren. ”
Eboue came on for Lauren, and Wenger made it very clear to Eboue that what he needed was clean and decisive interceptions and pressing!
Eboue spent half a year in the Arsenal reserve team, was promoted to the first team in the summer, and his cousin was much better than when he first arrived, he was the pistachio of the team, and often made a funny name in training, but Qin Xiong rarely interacted with him, because Qin Xiong always seized every minute in training and did not relax.
On the one hand, Liverpool's intention to attack the left side is obvious, which makes the defense on Arsenal's side tight, and on the other hand, Hleb does need time to adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League game and form a tacit understanding with the team.
He often takes the ball to a dead end and then passes the ball himself, which is not sharp enough, and when his teammates can answer, he never passes the ball, and when his teammates lose patience, he passes the ball again, but his teammates don't want to run anymore at all.
This is one of the tables where there is a problem with the tacit understanding of the pass.
Less than 10 minutes into the game, Eboue gave Cendon a dismount as he knocked him off the touchline and, despite being a foul, was met with Arsene Wenger's momentum.
Liverpool saw that Arsenal's attack was not as sharp as in the first half, and their own attack seemed to have a better effect, so they began to further strengthen their attack, hoping to reverse Arsenal with 20 minutes remaining!
Qin Xiong retreated to the midfield. He had to start demanding the power of the organization. On offensive advances. He and Hleb do not have a tacit understanding, it can be said that Hleb has no tacit understanding with anyone, this point cannot be used, then Arsenal's front-court attack is very passive, which means that Liverpool can encircle them purposefully.
With Arsenal attacking less and less, Liverpool began to press forward to attack.
In the 72nd minute of the game, Garcia crossed from the right, and Morientes scored with a header in the penalty area. Lehmann made a world-class save with a heroic effort to defuse the danger in front of goal.
There was a loud sigh from the Anfield stands, before the fans applauded Morientes and hoped he would continue his efforts to find the back of the net against Arsenal.
The shape looks increasingly unfavorable to Arsenal, who appear to be lacking in stamina and are losing ground one after another.
But Qin Xiong has always been very calm, and he has always been observing the position of Liverpool's defensive line.
New Champions League winners Liverpool are looking to win defending Premier League champions Arsenal at home, and by the 75 minutes of the game, their formation has been clearly pressed. In order to ensure that the formation does not tear, the tightness of the three lines must be maintained.
77th minute of the game. Qin Xiong won the ball at the back of the center circle, Gerrard was very close to him, and he quickly came to counterattack, Qin Xiong's horizontal dribbling disrupted Gerrard's pressing plan, he didn't expect Qin Xiong to not move forward to attack.
And Alonso also immediately stepped up, and when he rushed from the side to intercept Qin Xiong, Qin Xiong's body leaned slightly outward to block Alonso's pressing, and steadily protected the ball and continued to dribble horizontally.
Without completely getting rid of Alonso, Qin Xiong pulled out the space and angle that he could look at the front court.
He looked far away and saw Henry standing between Hyypia and Carragher.
Henry retreated in response, but only took a step back before sprinting forward.
Qin Xiong decisively sent out an over-the-top straight plug on the spot!
The football flew past Alonso's eyes, and he immediately turned his head to see that the ball had passed over Sissoko's head, and over Hyypia and Carragher's!
At the same time, Henry galloped forward like an assassin on a green field and rushed towards Liverpool's goal!
Qin Xiong's kick over the top was just right, so that Hyypia couldn't clear the ball with a header even if he jumped in the retreat, and Henry's sprint acceleration that broke out forward was something that the top defenders couldn't catch up with at all!
Henry stops the ball on the line of the penalty area and goes to the meeting alone!
Reyna had no choice but to abandon the goal, and Henry decisively got up and hit the goal, and a precise push sent the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal!
Henry looked back at the midfield after scoring the goal, pointed at Qin Xiong and ran wildly to the sidelines at the same time, celebrating the goal in a classic way of kneeling!
"Arsenal are ahead of Liverpool again! Liverpool paid a heavy price for their overpressing! I have to say that Qin Xiong's over-the-top straight plug is so wonderful that it can't be more perfect than a perfect assist! Henry won't miss this opportunity, he and Qin Xiong are the perfect duo, and last season's goalscoring frenzy will continue this season! ”
Liverpool will be extremely helpless, they want to beat Arsenal too much to prove themselves, but Arsenal has top players, it is possible to solve the battle by one or two people!
Arsene Wenger used up his last substitution immediately after the goal and brought on Reyes to replace Pire, keeping the side's impact on the wing.
Qin Xiong took the initiative to drag it out, helping the team to ensure defensive quality and working with Cesc Fabregas to deliver shells to the wings.
Reyes switched positions with Hleb after his debut, and Hleb improved after he went to the left wing, and the previous poor table Xiàn may also have a lot to do with the position.
Liverpool are in a dilemma, they can't shake Arsenal's goal without committing too many troops, but if they do, they may not be able to stop Henry at the back.
They tried to create unexpected attacking opportunities with a small number of troops in front of the court with a frantic counter-attack.
However, Qin Xiong and Cesc Fabregas were able to firmly control the ball through the combination of passes in the midfield, and it seemed that both of them were very relaxed, leisurely short passes, runs, short passes, runs.
Fabregas has mastered some knowledge of controlling the rhythm and observing the sudden attack, and with Qin Xiong's side, he believes that he has benefited a lot and has improved quickly.
When Liverpool were a little impatient with their rhythm and had to put in more forces to counter-attack, the Liverpool defence was at risk of conceding a goal after Cesc Fabregas or Qin Xiong suddenly fed a high-threat through ball into the wing.
In the 89th minute of the game, Reyes was in response to Fabregas's sudden through ball from the side and cut into the penalty area, Henry attracted two top central defenders in the middle, Reyes calmly crossed the other side of the cut into the middle of Hleb, Hleb was unmarked and earnest, the shooting footwork was too strong, and the football flew directly into the stands.
Arsene Wenger was thrilled on the sidelines and felt it was an opportunity not to be missed.
Obviously, Hleb will need to hone for a while to adapt to the Premier League.
However, it is worth reassuring that Wenger won the game in the end!
At the end of the match, Qin Xiong was surprised to be kissed on the face by Eboue, who was excited to celebrate the victory at Anfield, and Qin Xiong walked away from the field for the fourth consecutive game with the honor of Man of the Match.
With all four Premier League games played in August, Arsenal not only got off to a four-game winning streak, but also took away surprise victories at Stamford Bridge and Anfield.
Qin Xiong was elected the Premier League's best player of the month in August! (To be continued......)
