Chapter 452 Gestures
With less than 10 minutes left in the game, the Liverpool players were exhausted.

If you want to run and can't run, the ball will be cut off after taking it for a while.

Several energetic players are supplementing the defensive thickness in the backcourt. It seems that Benitez is going to give up this game and seek a smaller loss instead.

Also, in an away game, if Liverpool loses 1-0, then they still have a big chance.

After all, this is not a home game, and Arsenal have not yet gained the advantage of away goals.

Even if Liverpool gave up this chance to score an away goal, they still have their own advantages.

Take a long-term view, because Arsenal need to play two consecutive games against Liverpool at Anfield in a short period of time, which means that they will be tortured by a long journey, and it will take some time to adapt to the climate of North West England.

This is not a game you can go back to right away.

It is not appropriate to calculate the cost of going back and forth. They might as well live in a hotel in Liverpool and train hard in those few days.

I believe that under multiple weakenings, Arsenal will never survive two tough games in a row.

And, isn't this first game hard work?
Benitez doesn't believe that Arsenal's small victory really didn't pay any price!

Time is running out for both teams.

At this point, Arsenal had taken the lead.Although the fans feel that it is a bit uncomfortable to lead by only one goal, at least Arsenal are maintaining the lead now.

More importantly, Arsenal played better and more attractively on the scene.

Several offensive players on the field hoped to play their roles at this time, and they spared no effort to find opportunities to score goals.

But the time is also passing by every minute and every second.

No one noticed that 45 minutes into the second half was up, and the fourth official on the sidelines held up a large electronic card with the number three written on it.

3 minutes of stoppage time is enough to do a lot of things.

Arsenal fans are looking forward to scoring goals, one more goal, and they can immediately feel at ease.The game time is running out, as long as one more goal is scored, they don't believe that the tired Liverpool team has a chance to complete the counterattack!

2:0 is already a very happy result.

Can these players on the field achieve the goals the fans expect?

There was not much time left, the players didn't notice what was happening on the sidelines, but hearing the shouts of the fans, they knew that there were still 3 minutes until the end of the game.

There are still the last 3 minutes, what are they going to do with this time!
what else?
For the Arsenal players, it is of course to score another goal. For the Liverpool players, of course it is to guard the goal and look for an opportunity to equalize the score!
In the last 3 minutes, the players of the Liverpool team are also cheering themselves up in their hearts. After this period of time, their mother can rest.

If you lose the ball again, I am afraid there will be a few days of discomfort.

There are still the last 3 minutes, we must hold on!

However, some Liverpool players are still holding on, like Gerrard, Baros, Kewell... .They also tried to attack, scored away goals for Liverpool, scored away goals, even if they conceded another goal, they were worth it!

This is not exactly in line with the tactics arranged by coach Benitez during the intermission, but the players did not care about this.

Liverpool, like Arsenal in this regard, allows players to be more flexible on the field.

After all, the situation before the game is different from that after the game, so how can the head coach cover everything!
But it's useless if only a few players want to attack. Is Arsenal's defensive end vegetarian?
After Rio Ferdinand came on the field, there were not many opportunities. At this time, he happily interrupted two breakthroughs of Baros.

With Terry sitting in the back, Rio Ferdinand was able to play boldly with confidence.

After breaking down the weak attacking team, they launched an attack like a rainbow!
The Arsenal players in red and white sleeves are like a torrent hitting the Liverpool defense line wearing a black away jersey.

It was like a blood-stained wave hitting the black reef.

The tide is raging and rolling, but the reef stands still, solid as a rock.

In the last few minutes, Arsenal's attack was still fruitless.

"Beep-!"

The referee blew his whistle.

"competition is over!"

"Audience friends, tonight's Champions League quarter-final between Arsenal and Liverpool is over. In this game, the home team Arsenal beat the opponent 1-0 and gained an advantage. However, there is still one game in the quarter-final , Which team will be able to advance in the end, let us look forward to the next Champions League match!"

"Friends in the audience, next is the video replay of the UEFA Champions League group stage. Let's see you in the next game."

The game was eventually stopped at 1-0, Henry fired the last shot, but unfortunately hit the post.

If it weren't for the fact that the ball bounced to the boundary instead of the penalty area this time, maybe Arsenal still had one or two offensive opportunities, and Arsenal might be able to expand their advantage.

There are not so many possibilities, maybe Liverpool will take advantage of this period of time to counterattack successfully and tie the score?
At least, Arsenal won, although this is a little regrettable, not so complete.

Shao Bo stood up from the coach's bench on the sidelines and shook hands with Benitez.

After this game, the two of them still have two more games to play.

"GOOD GAME."

Benitez looked calm, turned and left without saying anything.

And Shao Bo's complexion is not too good, a hard victory, he is still regretting that the advantage is too small.

At least, such a victory seems to be sorry for their hard work?
Shao Bo didn't even think about it, didn't Benitez make what seemed to be complete preparations?
Are they just mobs that can be pushed down at will?

Arsenal can win, although it is not easy, but it is also an acceptable result.

The Liverpool players breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the referee's whistle. They were so tired that they all sat on the lawn in front of the door, panting heavily.

The Arsenal players were very sorry. Pires waved his arm fiercely. He was still full of energy not long after he played, and he could fully support another overtime game.

It's a pity that there was no overtime in the first round of the game, and Pires could only end with regret.

The scene looks very good, but if no goal is scored, then these 10 minutes of hard work will be in vain.

Fortunately, he received good data feedback.

After the game, the media reporters were all blocked in the hall of the player tunnel, trying to intercept the latest news as soon as possible.

At this time, photographs were taken of the players' shirtless shirts, their sweaty jerseys, their joy of victory, and the bitterness of their failure.

However, when they got to the door of the locker room, there were security staff blocking them, so these paparazzi reporters couldn't go any further.

In the locker room, the players will inevitably take a shower and change clothes. In this case, how can the locker room be opened to the media?
If it’s normal, it’s easier to say that the empty locker room can be photographed whenever you want. It can also satisfy the curiosity of some fans who are interested in the club. It is also good for promoting the club’s image and obtaining commercial benefits.

However, it is not a good idea to use the player's walking light to make a big fire.

Perhaps some players are willing to gain attention through such gossip, but most players hope to keep their privacy in the locker room.

Normally, it’s fine for teammates to see it. Should the lace reporters secretly take pictures and publish them in newspapers for the fans to talk about?

To be famous, you have to sweat hard on the court and work hard on the training ground.

What kind of thing is this kind of meat selling!

This is not the era when Twitter, Facebook, and smartphones are popularized all over the world in later generations. Feature phones represented by Nokia and Motorola are still in a stable position.

Otherwise, maybe a certain player posted a status in the locker room and accidentally took a photo of his teammate's naked body while taking a selfie, and fans all over the world could see it and download it immediately.

The efficiency is much higher than these paparazzi!

This is also one of the reasons why many clubs later banned using mobile phones in the locker room!

Only by safeguarding the interests of most players can the long-term stability of the locker room be guaranteed.

Before the start of the game, Arsenal vowed that they would beat Liverpool in the first game, and most of the wins would directly kill the suspense of the second game.

As a result, now they have a small 1:0 victory over their opponents. They just gained an advantage, but it is not enough to establish a victory!

The game is like this, let alone this 1:0, for the Champions League, only a goal difference of 3 or more can guarantee that it will not be overturned by the opponent!
After all, leading by 2 goals, there are many teams that will be overturned by their opponents in the next game.

Even a three-goal lead is not a real insurance. Deportivo has comeback against AC Milan in this way.

Although the miracle of Istanbul is unlikely to be repeated in this world, Shao Bo knew in his heart that even if there were three leads, it was nothing.

But in any case, although the media didn't know about that night in Istanbul, everyone knew that a goal lead was definitely not enough!

But this is not the first time Shao Bo's prediction has failed.

In the past few years, he predicted every year that his team would definitely break through the second stage of the Champions League group stage, but every year he failed to reach the quarterfinals.

And when Shao Bo did not say in front of the media and the public last year that their goal was to win the Champions League, they advanced all the way and defeated Manchester United at Schalke and won the championship.

If his predictions were not accurate most of the time, I am afraid that the good media will put Shao Bo and Bailey together and call them "Super Crow's Mouth"!
This time Arsenal won a small victory, Shao Bo naturally brought the only goal scorer to the post-match press conference.

Both sides had offense and defense in this game, and there were many opportunities, but only one was grasped.

That is Klose, who scored second only to Henry in the team's goals!

Henry was closely marked in this game, and Liverpool's defensive players also made a lot of small moves, and he would be disturbed at every critical moment.

The result is always a little bit worse. You know, if you force your foot to miss a point at a critical moment, the ball will fly to nowhere.

He went directly from a Golden Globe level master to an amateur level.

Klose, who scored the only goal in this game, played the whole game. From the second forward behind Henry to the center forward when Shao Bo put him in advance, he performed very well and won the best player of the game title.

The champagne as a reward had already been "sprayed" by the players excitedly in the locker room. A bottle of champagne wasted without taking a few sips, and few people cared.

Even Shao Bo was thinking about this mess, which would cause trouble for the staff cleaning the locker room.

Klose was brought to the press conference by Shao Bo, where he received more attention than the two head coaches.

In contrast, Gerrard, as the captain of Liverpool, is somewhat overshadowed.The reporters at the scene immediately turned the cameras and microphones to Klose, asking what he meant by raising three fingers after scoring this time.

Because, according to the record, this is another obviously representative celebratory gesture after his classic somersault.

What is the meaning of this?
Countless fans and media reporters want to know.

After all, the first round of the confrontation between the two teams has ended, but in fact there are still two games that have not been played, and there are no concluding articles at this time.

There are many forward-looking predictions, and they don't need to ask them specifically. They can be pieced together by writing them casually.

Or Klose's latest celebratory gesture is more attractive.

"A celebratory gesture?"

"That's right, it's the one with three fingers behind the goal in today's game!"

A reporter shouted out anxiously, causing laughter at the scene.

Klose smiled a little embarrassedly, and explained: "The three fingers refer to my lover Sylvia, and my two sons, LuAnn and Noah."

Having said this, all the reporters have already understood, so this is what it means.

Many players will choose certain poses to celebrate after scoring goals, the purpose is to remember family members.

Some players will wear a white T-shirt with what they want to say inside the jersey.

There are many such examples.

And some players will tattoo the names of their family members on their bodies, and when the time comes, they will kiss the tattooed arms of their family members.

That's the case with Cazorla.

Although some people vaguely guessed this based on the wedding ring on Klose's hand, the Lord didn't say anything at the time, and they didn't dare to confirm that it was sent out in advance.

At this time, Klose finished speaking, and many people hurriedly sent documents to the editor-in-chief with their mobile phones, preparing to publish news in this regard.

The headquarters also needs to search for information related to Klose temporarily, so that fans who were not familiar with Klose in the past can get to know him more quickly.

Reducing readers' reading barriers will be of greater benefit to newspaper distribution.

Today's Internet reading has not yet risen, and the traditional paper media has reached its final glory!

Although this game did not achieve the expected goal, Shao Bo still gave the players a day off.

A good day to relax, and then they need to prepare for the two games to Anfield.

The opponents in this three consecutive games are the same club, which is very rare.

Even in English football, which has a history of more than 100 years, this situation has only happened a few times.

And that was mostly in the early days of League One when the schedule was a bit chaotic.

Now, if it weren't for the particularity of the schedule, I'm afraid there would be no such opportunity.

For example, in the Premier League, if two teams meet in the last game of the league, the FA Cup final and the Champions League final, then they may also form this interesting situation.

Of course, in fact, facing the same strong team three times in a row, the two clubs are not very willing. This wears and tear on the players is too serious.

It's better to play a strong team, change to a weaker team for a change, and adjust your mood.

Compared with the devil's schedule, it's actually about the same.

Fortunately, there is only one team against this devil's schedule, there will not be too many changes, and tactical adjustments and training will also be reduced.

There are joys and sorrows, and I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

But the media in England are sure that this is definitely a suppression of English football!
It doesn't matter if it's true or not, let's release this name first!
After Liverpool, English clubs have not won the Champions League trophy for more than ten years, and after Manchester United, it took four years for Arsenal to win the Premier League's first Champions League trophy in this century.

This time interval is actually neither long nor short, but moderate.

The teams that can't stand the Premier League, whether it is Liverpool or Chelsea, when they mentioned the fourth place in the Premier League, they were able to qualify for the main match through numerous play-offs.

After that, every four teams in the Premier League appeared in the Champions League, or even the top sixteen!
From time to time, three teams will reach the quarter-finals. Last season, Arsenal and Manchester United met in the Champions League final. In order to balance, UEFA chose to weaken the Premier League, which is the opinion of many media reporters.

It seems that there is no problem at all, in line with reasoning and logic.

Who changed the rules of this kind of lottery, so that the civil wars of various countries can be carried out earlier, and the annual UEFA lottery has been controversial and questioned.

They want a Premier League civil war, it could not be easier.

No wonder the media think so.

But for Shao Bo, regardless of whether the opponent is strong or weak, whether it is a foreign team or a local Premier League team, he has only one goal, and that is to win!
Win for Arsenal, get the title!
The first match between the two teams has ended, but the storm has not passed, but is gradually brewing. The next two games will inevitably cause even greater turmoil!

　These days are one chapter, but they are all 5k chapters. After this period of time, there will be more updates!
