Coach, I want to play football!

Chapter 757 Passive Beaten

As time passed, Arsenal, who was sitting at home, gradually took the initiative.

In the 308th minute, Giroud passed the ball to Ozil, but Ozil's shot was not suppressed and ended up going high.

In the 40th minute, Coutinho dribbled the ball in the middle and wanted to do a one-two with Wijnaldum, but Ramsey saw through it in the end.

The Welsh midfielder snatched the ball from Coutinho and immediately gave it to his partner Cazorla.

Cazorla passed a long pass to Walcott on the wing. The little tiger used his speed advantage to break through with the ball, leaving behind the advancing Klein.

Follow the bottom and quickly cross the ball!

Giroud moved in the middle, and he suppressed Lovren and Matip alone.

But the ball didn't come to him, but to Ozil behind Giroud.

Ozil stopped the ball with his chest, then swung his legs and made a fake move for a long shot.Henderson fell for the trick and reached out to grab it.

The German midfielder took advantage of this opportunity to convert a shot into a pass, pushing the ball into the penalty area with a push.

Giroud picked up the ball with his back, he blocked two Liverpool central defenders by himself, bumped his heels, and passed the ball from behind the two central defenders.

Sanchez moved his thick thighs into the penalty area, received Giroud's heel pass before Matip turned around to fight back, and hit the ball without stopping!

Zhan Jun: "Girou...very beautiful heel pass...Sanchez!"

Sanchez in the small penalty area completed the shot, and Mignolet rushed over, but because the distance was too close, he was too late.

The ball flew into the goal before Mignolet could save it, and the Belgian goalkeeper could only look back helplessly at the ball in the net.

Zhan Jun: "The ball went in!! Thigh Sanchez!!"

"At the end of the first half, Arsenal, playing at home, took the lead. This is not good news for Liverpool."

Liu Yue nodded: "Yes, this directly affects the coach's tactics during the halftime break, which means Klopp will make changes during the halftime break."

"But Giroud's heel pass was so smooth, you couldn't tell it was a big center forward's heel pass."

Zhan Jun smiled: "This is Giroud. Everyone thinks that Giroud, a big man, is just a stand-up center with excellent headers. But in fact, Giroud is one of the few such centers who has good foot skills. .”

Wenger on the sidelines watched and applauded in celebration.

Klopp frowned and pointed to the backcourt, indicating that the defense on this ball was not done well.

Also, Wijnaldum did not come back immediately, and then the central defender combination of Matip and Lovren was suppressed by Giroud alone.

Zhan Jun: "This is the role of a center, to be able to hold the ball and create opportunities for teammates, especially with the back."

Liu Yue then said: "Of course, there is actually such a big center in the Liverpool camp."

The camera subconsciously showed Ye Qi on the bench, who was watching the game attentively.

Although Ye Qi is not as tall as Giroud, he can indeed hold the ball in the frontcourt.At least among the current Liverpool forwards, he is the only player who can take the ball with his back and confront the opponent's central defender.

Neither Sturridge nor Ings are like this.

With Sanchez's goal, the first half ended sooner.

Mainly because both sides played very smoothly in the first half, so the injury time was only a symbolic 1 minute.

During the halftime break, Klopp had a straight face and asked the assistant coach to take out the tactical board and point at it to analyze what the players did not do well in the first half.

Most of it is the fault of the frontcourt players.

During the halftime break, Zhan Jun was also discussing with Liu Yue what the effect would be if Ye Qi was replaced in the second half.

At least one thing is certain, Ye Qi's appearance will bring deterrence to the opponent's backcourt, so that Ramsey will not be so unscrupulous in attacking.

Arsenal's midfielder Cazorla is more organizational, while Ramsey is a deep-lying or all-around midfielder.

The Gunners do not have a particularly tough defensive midfielder, which is different from Manchester United and Chelsea.

So if Ye Qi plays, as long as he can suppress the opponent's central defender, he might be able to help create opportunities for Mane, Firmino and others behind him.

Soon, the 15-minute halftime break passed in the blink of an eye, and the second half of the game officially began.

Of course, Klopp did not choose to make substitutions immediately, but only made some slight adjustments to the tactics.

For example, let Coutinho's position retreat a bit, changing from 4231 to 433.

This has the advantage that Coutinho has more space to get the ball, and Firmino and Mane also have more space to move.

But as soon as the second half started, Arsenal gave Liverpool another blow.

Sanchez's breakthrough with the ball created an opportunity. Giroud received Sanchez's pass and then headed the ball to Cazorla who came up from behind.

Cazorla got the ball on the penalty area line and then passed it to Walcott on the other side.

Walcott led the ball to attract Lovren, and then the little tiger went down and passed back from the inverted triangle.

Giroud took away Matip and Henderson, followed Ozil up to meet Walcott's pass and kept hitting directly!

Wijnaldum came up and stretched out his feet to stop it, but he was still a step too late. Ozil's shot had already gone out before he got there.

Mignolet dived out almost reflexively and caught the ball, but was still unable to prevent it from entering the net.

Zhan Jun: "Two to zero! Arsenal expanded the score!"

Liu Yue: "As expected of Arsenal's offense, the coordination is quite smooth. Even though there is a big center, they are not just playing high balls from the wing."

The Arsenal fans in the stands sang the Gunners anthem in unison, and the two goals gave them hope of a good start to the season.

"Farke!!" Klopp yelled, his expression very ugly.

At this time, the broadcast camera showed Ye Qi again, and he was seen shaking his head helplessly on the bench.

In less than five and 10 minutes, we fell behind by two goals.Liverpool coach Klopp has begun to make adjustments.

Zhan Jun: "We saw that Liverpool's bench should be replaced."

Liu Yue: "We really need to make substitutions, otherwise we will be passively beaten throughout the game."

"Huh? Isn't it Ye Qi?"

Zhan Jun was also quite surprised, "Sturridge was about to leave. His performance today was indeed average. Among the front three, he was the worst. This was worse than his performance last season when he was injured. ."

"The substitute is neither Ye Qi nor the opponent Ings. But Lallana?"

Zhan Jun analyzed: "Then this way we should let Firmino move to the center position, and let Lallana or Coutinho play on the side."

Liu Yue nodded: "That should be the case. Both Lallana and Coutinho can play as wingers and attacking midfielders. They should often change positions during the game."

Zhan Jun thought for a while and said: "So, Klopp actually still wants to use passing and cutting to open up the defense?"
