Chapter 451 Three Wars with the Red Army ([-])

"How did Shao Bo respond?"

Even the narrator expressed doubts at this time.

Before the match, Shao Bo declared at the press conference the day before the match that they would let Liverpool feel the terror of the Emirates Stadium in the first match and seal the victory.

"Today, the two teams are still in a stalemate. Is it possible to achieve the goal that Shao Bo said?"

This first game seems to end in a draw, and of course Arsenal still have the possibility of qualifying for the second away game.

But the big words that Shao Bo said before the game, didn't they all become random talk and have no credibility?

Although few people will really take this kind of goal set before the game seriously, but this does not prevent some people from being serious deliberately, to humiliate and tease Shao Bo and the others.

After all, in order to attract the audience to watch the football match, this kind of appropriate gag is quite necessary.

Not all the people who watch the game on TV are fans. They are probably the ones who just came into contact with football. Maybe they became interested in football because of the humorous words of the commentator?

With the reputation of "the world's number one sport", the development of football still needs hard work.

Not to mention letting other sports catch up, even if they don't watch the Premier League in the future, but only watch Serie A and La Liga, it will be a loss for the Premier League, right?

Anyway, most of what these football game commentators have said will not reach the ears of the head coach.When they revisit the game for research, they usually choose specially recorded game videos, rather than this kind of game videos made through editing to attract the audience.

There is a small difference between the two.

Occasionally, the head coach will see it, but the probability is not high, and making fun of it is not considered an enemy. Even if Shao Bo heard it, he would only smile wryly and spread his hands to express his helplessness.

In England, who is in the football circle and has not been attacked?

Whether it's from attracting attention, increasing exposure, or creating a sense of presence, most people don't mind such a small joke.

However, it's one thing to accept the joke, and quite another to actually fail to accomplish your goals.

If Shao Bo can't beat Liverpool with an overwhelming advantage in this game, then the next two games will be really difficult to play.

Not to mention defending the Champions League title, defending the Premier League title... even if they didn't get any of them, it's very possible to return empty-handed!
After all, in the previous game against Liverpool, Arsenal's substitute lineup had just lost 1-0 to Wigan Athletic and lost the qualification to win the FA Cup at the New Jubilee Stadium.

In a few years, when Wembley Stadium is rebuilt, the FA Cup and League Cup will be held there. If you want to lift these domestic cup trophies on Welsh soil, you will never have the chance again.

In the last 10 minutes, Liverpool have already used their substitution quota, and now it is Arsenal's turn!
At the critical moment, Shao Bo finally decided to replace Ronaldo. Ljungberg, a veteran player, sprained his ankle a while ago and had returned from the last game. Shao Bo hoped that the veteran player could bring him surprises.

Similarly, the golden left wing was reassembled, and Rosicky, who started the game, got several good chances and also shot on target, but it was a pity that he failed to score.

He was replaced at this time, Pires came on and moved Henry's image to the left.

Now that Henry, Pires and Ashley Cole are on the scene again, the frightening golden corridor has been opened!
The two wings are sharp and aggressive, and there is Klose, who was mentioned by Shao Bo in the middle, as the center forward of Zhengyin. Lampard and Alonso can provide enough support in the midfield.

Looking at the whole of Europe, even Real Madrid and AC Milan, in terms of the threat of the offensive group alone, I am afraid they are only similar to Arsenal.

Benitez replaced two players, Shao Bo also made the same choice.

Both managers have held back a card, ready to wait until the last, most crucial moment to play it.

Establish the situation in one fell swoop!
It has to be said that Rosicky’s time at Arsenal is still too short, and he has not participated in too many first-team games. In the eyes of Henry and Ashley Cole, he still cooperates with his old teammate Pires The most tacit understanding.

After Freddie Ljungberg and Pires entered the field, there was a burst of applause and cheers in the Emirates Stadium, and waves of voices resounded through the audience.

The game wasn't over yet, and even Arsenal weren't leading yet, but as soon as these two veteran players played, they immediately gave the fans a sense of peace of mind.

They just simply feel that these people are more reliable than Ronaldo and the others.

Needless to say, Ljungberg has been at Arsenal for almost ten years and has won countless championships. In the short two years that Pires has been at Arsenal, he has also won the extremely important European Championship for the team. Championship trophy!
Some media have long commented that Pires is Arsenal's best left-sided player after Overmars!
The two players who were substituted didn't say anything, but a little resignation could be seen faintly on their faces.

Shao Bo patted them on the shoulder and asked them to go back to the locker room to take a shower and change clothes.

Now is not the time to take care of the players' emotions, the victory of the game is the most important thing.

If they lose the game, everyone's mood will not be good. Who will take care of Shao Bo's mood?

There are still 10 minutes left, at least Arsenal can establish a leading advantage at home, and there is some room for turning around when they go away.

Players come on, a throw-in is thrown, and the game starts again!
And this period of time was actually not suspended like a basketball game, and I don't know that the referee will leave a few minutes as stoppage time at the end?
But for teams like Arsenal and Liverpool, 10 minutes is actually enough to do a lot of things!
The three-way advance is also a threat, which is incomparable to Liverpool's current offensive that relies more on the center.

At least in terms of players, except for a few people such as Gerrard and Baros, Liverpool on the offensive end is a notch worse than Arsenal.

That's like the difference between the teams participating in the Champions League and the teams participating in the Europa League!

The threat is small, which means that Arsenal still have the opportunity to put more power on offense.Correspondingly, the Liverpool team must prevent Arsenal's strong offensive ability from penetrating their defense.

Carragher certainly has no problem, but other defensive players are not as strong as him.

To defend Arsenal's offense, Benitez must move the midfielder back to make up for the loophole.

Although Benitez has many ideas in terms of tactics, he is also limited by the strength of the players and cannot use them. It cannot be said that this is not a pity.

If Harvey Alonso is still in the Liverpool team, then at least the defense in the middle will not have to worry about it.

But now is not the time to regret, they are in difficulties, and they need to grit their teeth and fight against Arsenal!

I haven't won a league championship in 15 years. Liverpool, who have dominated English football for nearly 20 years, can't stand this!
League champions, Champions League champions, they will win one of them this year!
The game continues, but Arsenal's advantage is constantly expanding, and the effect is obvious.

Who asked Benitez to replace the two defensive players. At this time, they are relatively stable on the defensive end, but on offense, the players who consume a lot of energy are a little weak.

There was no way to do this. Benitez was thinking about the last substitution in his hand at this time, and was thinking about whether to play this card.

Just when he was hesitating, Arsenal had helped him make up his mind!
"Good job! Wonderful header!"

The commentator was explaining the game, and the director was switching to the slow-motion replay of the goal scoring. Everyone on the TV station was thinking in their hearts, "Good guy, it's a goal."

There are goals, there are gaps, and there are changes.

The game will be more beautiful and more attractive.

"Klose -! He won the first place for Arsenal!"

Klose, who scored the first goal, ran two steps excitedly, just when everyone thought he would perform the classic "door flip" to celebrate the goal as in the past.

Klose stretched out the three fingers of his right hand and held them up high.Among them, the shiny ring on the ring finger brushed the sense of presence.

After kissing his right hand, Klose was thrown to the ground by excited teammates, and several people rolled into a ball, celebrating the goal on the court.

This is the advantage, this is the confidence!
"Oh, oh, oh, oh..."

The fans also happily sang victory songs at this time.

The theme song of the World Cup in [-] is still being sung. It can only be said that the World Cup in Japan and South Korea in [-] was really unsatisfactory.

In any case, Arsenal have already gained an advantage. Even if the game is over now, Arsenal rely on their one-goal lead. When they arrive at Anfield, they can still play a defensive strategy and draw with Liverpool.

As long as they get a draw in the away game, Arsenal will be eligible to advance and become the semi-finals of this Champions League!

In this year's quarter-finals, Barcelona should be the most relaxed team. After all, their opponent is Benfica. As long as they are not careless, no one will believe that Benfica can beat Barcelona and become the semi-finals of this year's Champions League. .

After all, with Eto'o, Ronaldinho... Barcelona, ​​which has gone through the recovery period, has become a force that cannot be ignored in European football by virtue of its deep foundation and rapid rise.

Except for Barcelona, ​​whether it is Arsenal's Premier League civil war or other games, the difference between victory and defeat is only a moment. No one knows who will win and who will lose.

That is to say, Chelsea, which has no outstanding achievements in the Champions League, is underestimated by others. AC Milan has a solid foundation. Azain, Shevchenko, Maldini and other outstanding players are there. Who knows that reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League is the best result. With Mourinho, can he lead Chelsea to the semi-finals again?

It seems unlikely.

If it weren't for Chelsea's current top position in the Premier League standings, those football betting companies would definitely have Chelsea's odds of winning the championship similar to Benfica's.

Even now, they are still the second-to-last team.

If Chelsea want to prove their strength, they can only rely on defeating AC Milan.

For Arsenal players, they don't have time to think about AC Milan.

However, Arsenal's intelligence personnel are currently collecting information in various stadiums in Europe, and will report it immediately if there is an emergency.

If the current situation is not too tense and Arsenal underestimates Liverpool, Shao Bo will look at the games of several other clubs at this time.

It's a pity that there is no other way now. We can only win this game first, and then talk about other things.

Even gifts can't beat it, so what's the point of gathering intelligence?Wouldn't it be a joke?
Now Arsenal have the lead, but they still can't be careless.

Otherwise, as long as Liverpool score an away goal here, even if it is a tie, or even a small 2:1 loss to Arsenal, there is still a chance to return to Anfield to make a comeback.

Step up defense, step up defense!
The game time is running out, and Shao Bo is not stingy with the cards in his hand, so he must use them at this time.

Having already achieved a leading advantage, Arsenal need to consolidate this advantage at this time and try to expand it!

Kolo Touré was replaced, and Rio Ferdinand was instructed in advance on the sidelines. After high-fiving his teammates, he trotted onto the field.

In this game, Arsenal did not concede a goal, and Kolo Touré contributed a lot!
It's a pity that he got a yellow card in this game. As long as he accumulates another yellow card, Kolo Toure must be suspended for one game.

But in order to win, this yellow card is worth it, otherwise, even if you don't take a card, what's the point of losing the game?
It's not as good as the red card, but it can help the team achieve a decisive victory.

Sometimes, personal gains and losses and collective honor have to learn to separate the importance.

After all, football games must be played in groups, and no matter how good the aliens are, they must rely on the strength of the team unless there are no flashes twice a year.

Alone, you can never succeed in football.

After Rio Ferdinand came on, Benitez sighed and used up Liverpool's last substitution.

It seems that Liverpool can only come back if they return to Anfield.

However, there are still about 10 minutes in the game, and Benitez is not in the character of sitting still.While there is still a chance, he wants to launch a counterattack. As long as he scores a goal, then this game is worth it!

When he came to Liverpool, Benitez didn’t want to leave in a hurry. He moved from La Liga, which ranked first in European competition points, to the Premier League, which ranked first in commercial promotion. Valencia came to the veteran giants Liverpool.

What for?
Isn't it just to win the championship here, to write your name in history, not to travel in the world for nothing, not to be a player and head coach for all these years?
No matter how difficult the Champions League is, Benitez, who once led Valencia to the final and won the runner-up, is also prepared.

Even if the quarter-finals turned into a civil war in the Premier League, so what?
Even Arsenal can't stop Benitez from leading Liverpool to the Champions League!
Few people can remember the runner-up of the Champions League. Only by winning the championship can Benitez prove his success!

The game resumed after Arsenal's players briefly celebrated the victory.

The kick-off Liverpool team played again this time with the kind of momentum they had just started, and the momentum was like a rainbow!

As long as one goal is scored, as long as there is a recent one, then Liverpool will not come in vain!
And how could Arsenal let them get what they wanted, just leading by one goal, which was already beyond their expectations. If they conceded another goal, wouldn't they be ashamed to death?

If the opponent has the advantage of away goals, then Klose would prefer not to score his own goal just now, but to offset Liverpool's goal.

After all, the advantage of away goals is terrible.

In the last 10 minutes, it is actually impossible for Liverpool to use all of them to push the offense.

As long as they survive the first few minutes and use up their last bit of energy, the Liverpool team will definitely lose their fighting spirit.

At that time, even if Arsenal really won this game, it is hard to say about the next game, but this time there is no problem.

The game continued, and the fierce attack hit Arsenal's defense like a tide.

At this time, what supported their persistence was not only the shouts of the fans behind them, not only the dream of defending the Champions League trophy, not only the expectation of Shao Bo's promise of rewards after the game...

It is useless to stick to it. At this time, you must use some cleverness to delay the time, and the effect will be very significant.

Kick the ball to the sideline, throw the ball once, the rhythm of the game will be interrupted, everyone will rearrange the formation, and a new balance will be formed between offense and defense.

These may be referred to the head coach as a bonus for stoppage time.

But this is not a game against Manchester United, the most stoppage time, usually about 4 minutes.

With 4 more minutes at most, they will be able to win. Even in the away game, Arsenal still have the advantage!
4 minutes, 10 minutes....

The belief in pursuing victory is supporting the players, however, Liverpool's players collapsed before them!

I really can't run...

Baros was out of breath, slowly carrying the ball.

As Liverpool's main striker, he has been used ruthlessly during this period, and there is not enough rest time, which means that Baros is more likely to feel fatigued.

That is the case now, and it is the case with many players in the Liverpool team.

The final against Liverpool just a while ago is still vivid in my memory. I only lost the game at the last penalty moment, which caused a considerable blow to the club.

Benitez didn't think of this, but even if the Liverpool players wanted to persist, their bodies couldn't stand it anymore.

The dawn of Arsenal's victory is just around the corner!
Taking advantage of the physical exhaustion of Liverpool's players, how could Arsenal not choose to attack aggressively at this time?
