Chapter 818 Gunner Myth Rafa's Retro Tactics

(first update)
From 1 minute to 4 o'clock, the players on both sides had already taken their positions, waiting for the whistle with high spirits and rushing into the opponent's half.

The on-site commentator is excitedly doing the final rendering for the opening of the game. : "This is Anfield"!Every visiting team will immediately become terrified when they see this sentence. The shadow of Shankly no longer covers the stadium all the time. Can't play calmly, here, all the visiting teams dare not win lightly, for them, one point is already a victory. . . . .The game is on! . . . . .The Red Army advances. . . . . You'll Never Walk Alone! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
The game started, except for the singing of Liverpool fans, the Anfield stadium can no longer accommodate other voices, and the communication between players and players, coaches and players has become very difficult here, you can only see teammates and coaches in front of each other. He was yelling something, but he couldn't hear the sound, as if he was performing a pantomime.

Football and music have always been inseparable.Music can express the passion of football, and football can convey the image symbol of music.And the ones that really touch people are often elegiac songs. From the singing, Li Huan seems to see the men cheering for the "Red Army" at the Hillsborough Stadium, and he can hear Gao Jianli singing and singing by the Yishui River.He realized more clearly than ever that this is an away game, the opponent's home game. The singing and fanaticism of the Liverpool fans maximized the atmosphere of the home game, making the players of the visiting team feel like they were in a foreign country. The stadium with the warmest atmosphere in the world really Not in vain.

He was moved and shocked, but Li Huan was not as frightened as the commentator said, his legs were weak, and his skills and tactics could not be played calmly. What rose in his heart was greater pride, "Beat them! Leave your own legacy in this great stadium." traces, rather than adding bricks to the opponent's victory!"

However, the performance of his teammates made Li Huan a little disappointed. After the start of the game, Arsenal were a little out of shape, both offensively and defensively, and even lost their minds. , was successfully intercepted by Mascherano, and Arsenal, which has always been known for its fast passing and receiving, is not as good as Liverpool in this respect today. Almost all the 50-50 goals were snatched by Liverpool. In the singing of Liverpool fans, Arsenal Nana's players seemed to be under the curse of slowness, and they did not perform at their true level.

The protagonists of Arsenal's offense in this game are the two wingers, Li Huan and Walcott. The center increases the thickness of the defense. Fabregas mainly distributes the ball instead of inserting the offense.But after the start of the game, Liverpool hoarded heavily in the midfield and launched a frenzied press. The attack was mainly based on long passes, not Arsenal-style two-wing crosses, but a long pass from the backcourt. It can be summed up in one word: "Go! ", Torres, Gerrard, and Dirk are all masters in impact. When the three directly faced Arsenal's back line, the fans found that "a good guy can not only hit two punches, but even four hands."Just three people smashed Arsenal's double defense to pieces.

And Arsenal's wing attack became more difficult because Liverpool hoarded heavy troops in the midfield. They encountered crazy pressing on the wing. The Liverpool crowd grab the ball.Li Huan intends to cut inside, but in the absence of support from the left and the center, he is surrounded by too many defenders, and it is impossible to cut to the front of the penalty area.

Today's Liverpool did not try to beat Arsenal in the way of the Spaniards. They knew their skills, and they simply adopted the oldest British long pass to survive.Arsenal took precautions against Liverpool's impact tactics before the game, and deployed double midfielders in the middle. Fabregas' double midfielders can also form a certain barrier effect, but under the opponent's continuous impact like a sledgehammer, The defensive barrier quickly crumbled.

The first shot of the game was made by Liverpool. Torres squeezed to the front of the penalty area, but his barely shot was confiscated by Almunia.

The first foul of the game was made by Liverpool. Aurelio pulled Li Huan down and was verbally warned by referee Weber.

The first controversy of the game was also created by Liverpool. Torres ferried the ball, Gerrard broke into the penalty area and was tripped by Gallas, but referee Webber thought that Gerrard waded too far and lost control of the ball and refused to award a penalty point ball.

After this controversial penalty, Liverpool's impact and pressing became more fierce. Under Liverpool's retro tactics, Arsenal could not beat Liverpool, but was beaten by Liverpool's impact tactics, and their emotions became impatient. The striker and midfielder The long-range shots gradually increased, and the on-site commentator commented: "This is Arsenal's players losing confidence in scoring into Liverpool's penalty area. For Arsenal, which is famous for short pass penetration, this means failure."

In the 33rd minute of the game, Arsenal had their first shot inside the goal frame.This is after Li Huan passed Benayoun and Aurelio on the wing, he shot with his instep from the left side of the penalty area, and the ball went straight to the back corner of the penalty area, but the goalkeeper Reina's position was very good, very thrilling Saved the ball over the baseline.Then Li Huan's corner kick lobbed the back corner of the goal again, but it was a pity that it flew out of the baseline against the goal post.

Arsenal's two consecutive threatening shots restored the morale of the Arsenal players to a certain extent, and the combined attack from the side and the center posed a certain threat to Liverpool's goal.

However, Arsenal's attack only lasted 5 minutes, and then a free kick from Liverpool changed the trend of the game.

This is Gerrard's attack on the left side of Arsenal. Traore was fouled after being broken by Liverpool Soul. Liverpool got a free kick. Gerrard hit the goal directly on the left side of the penalty area. Ya hastily hit the ball, but the ball hit the chest of Dirk. The Dutch fisherman's son stopped in the chest and shot directly. The ball flew into the net from Vermaelen's wicket. Liverpool won 1-0 at home. leading.

"YES! YES! YES.....Dukiter.....GOAL....."

Almost at the same time, the Red Army fans who were singing turned into shouts, "Dukit!"

The shouts were equally earth-shattering. Tens of thousands of people chanting a person’s name together would make that person feel like flying. Dirk Dirk rushed out of the crowd almost dizzy, rushed to the front of the KOP stands, grabbed the guardrail and shouted at the fans. Yelling and venting the joy in their hearts, the emotions of the Liverpool fans in the stands became more excited, and their faces were almost distorted by happiness. They have been suppressed for too long, and they need a victory too much, even if they can't To win the championship, if you can beat Arsenal, which has won 14 games in a row, breaking their record-setting dream is something to be proud of.

Benitez, who was considered "calm, wise and tenacious" by reporters, couldn't hold back his excitement at the moment. He stretched his arms and made a flying movement to celebrate the goal. The team had an absolute advantage. This goal It is what he has been looking forward to for a long time. This season, Liverpool has reached the extreme. It is very common for them to gain momentum and not score. Balloons can be used to help the opponent score. The team has fallen into this field, and luck has played a big role. If he doesn't score again, Benitez may be really anxious.

Arsenal coach Wenger kicked the water bottle away and waved his arms angrily. In fact, the professor has been in a state of emotional instability. This is relatively rare. The reason is that Arsenal lost control on the scene. It is not news that Arsenal lost. It is not news that Na has no championship, but the scene is completely passive, relying on no advantages in possession and passing and receiving, and almost no chances are created. This must be big news after the game.And this is exactly why Wenger was angry.

Vermaelen stood in the penalty area dejectedly, ignoring anyone who comforted him. Although it cannot be said that it was his fault, getting a wicket is not as glorious as an own goal. Ever since Drogba forced his own goal After the dragon, Vermaelen feels weird. Although the team's last two defeats were all strategic abandonment of the game, he made mistakes in the few minutes he was on the bench, and this time the mistakes are more obvious. If he reacts faster , I'm afraid that there will be no chance for Dirk to poke and shoot. "Could it be that the low tide is coming!" Vermaelen doubted himself for the first time after joining Arsenal.

Vermaelen doubted his own state, and other Arsenal players doubted Wenger's tactical arrangements, because they had no good way of dealing with Liverpool's retro style of play until now in the first half. The style of play that has been practiced for more than ten years seems to be very powerful. They can only be beaten behind. Some players even feel that if they do not make tactical changes, they will have no hope of equalizing in the second half.

As captains of the team, Cesc Fabregas and Li Huan also have the same doubts. After all, they are not coaches, and they don't have so much time to think about the pros and cons of the two formations, and they can't find Liverpool's weaknesses so quickly, but At this time, they can only comfort their teammates and encourage them to muster up their courage. They must not let Liverpool play aggressively. If this team rushes up, it will be really hard to stop.

"Don't be discouraged! They only lead by one goal, we will definitely equalize!" Fabregas shouted the same words to his teammates almost one by one.

And Li Huan's words were more like irony, "Brothers! This is Anfield! It's not fucking hell! If it's a man, let's fight them. There are too many teams that lose here. Let's be the one that wins!"
