Chapter 1026 Arsenal's promotion!

In the halfway finale of the Premier League, Arsenal's game against Liverpool at home is so fast that it explodes!
After a wave of Liverpool's attack was cleared by Karius in front of the goal line, Firmino overwhelmed Kante with a header in the middle circle and flew the ball back to Ramsey. Ramsey immediately A low pass was sent.

Salah, who had killed the midfielder, quickly led the ball forward and dribbled forward, and then quickly passed the ball into the inside track.

When Kanter chased back to block Salah, the latter knocked the ball diagonally back when he slammed the ball into the dangerous offensive zone. Firmino, who followed up in the next step, then kicked the ball and transferred the ball. At the foot of Mane, who quickly advanced and cut in from the left side of the frontcourt.

Due to the lack of protection of the back line, Van Dijk and Koulibaly were always afraid of Mane's direct dribble breakthrough, so they focused on protecting the area behind them, but Mane made an emergency stop at the front of the penalty area and changed to waving the ball to cross!

When approaching the middle area in front of the penalty area, he suddenly kicked and shot!
The football flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal like a shell fired!
Although Ter Stegen made a lunge this time, although the tip of his left finger touched the football, it did not change the ending of the football flying into the goal!

The moment the football flew into the goal, all the Gunners fans cheered ecstatically!
Klopp roared and punched in celebration!

Mane rushed to the sidelines and opened his arms to celebrate this unparalleled goal!
Although the most eye-catching player in Arsenal this season is Salah, in fact this better hides the threat of Mane!

Salah's finishing ability is indeed good, but in fact, Arsenal's trident should not be underestimated!
"Whoa! Mane's long-range shot from the front of the penalty area beats Liverpool's goal!

Ter Stegen is powerless this time!
Fight back!Lightning counterattack!
When Liverpool were only one yard away from scoring, Arsenal turned their guns and gave them a heavy blow!
Arsenal lead Liverpool at home, this is probably the best Christmas gift Manchester City has received!

If Arsenal can beat Liverpool at home, it will be a dream come true for Manchester City! "

Situ Yunbing felt a little tricky. Arsenal played resolutely, decisively, without any hesitation. The unswerving left wing really made Liverpool a little overwhelmed. Obviously, Arnold's performance in defense was somewhat out of touch with the entire defensive system.

Regardless of the pressure he encountered after the opening game, or the difficulty of keeping up with today's swift rhythm after half a season, Situ Yunbing will not defend him, but the actual situation is that Liverpool has no better choice on the right back. Ah Zpilicueta's broken leg caused him to be reimbursed directly in 2017, which directly determined that Arnold must resist all the heavy responsibilities in this position!

Defense is one aspect, and offense is unfavorable, which also requires him to reflect.

It is somewhat unexpected that the strength of Arsenal's overall defense has been significantly improved compared with the past.

You may not be able to see it when referring to Arsenal playing mid-lower teams, because it is impossible for mid-lower teams to press down on the ground to test Arsenal's defense!

Only when Arsenal face an opponent like Liverpool, which makes them relatively passive, can they see how strong their defensive strength is in positional warfare.

In the entire Premier League, only Manchester City and Liverpool can truly test Arsenal's defense, put the most terrifying pressure on them, and force them to perform at their best under pressure.

In other words, Tottenham, Manchester United, Chelsea, even if these three strong teams play Arsenal, they may not be able to see the pressure resistance of Arsenal's overall defense!
Because these three teams will not oppress Arsenal's defense, even if there is a goal, it is definitely a counterattack fast break or a set kick, which cannot be used as a reference standard.

The match between Manchester City and Arsenal was almost two months ago, and there is no reference value for predicting Arsenal's defensive strength in this game.

Basically, when Liverpool fight against opponents outside the first group of the Premier League, they can overwhelm their opponents by relying on rhythm intensity. That is to say, they don’t need to change their style of play frequently. Then the goals would come one after another.

But to fight the civil war of the first group, tactics are particularly important!
Situ Yunbing gestured to the team on the sidelines, asking them to change their offensive tactics!

Liverpool's comprehensive technical and tactical capabilities have reached the pinnacle. Situ Yunbing only needs a gesture, and they know how to change and switch their play styles, and there will be almost no out-of-sync and out-of-sync situations.

This is the result of years of training.

It cannot be said that Liverpool's tactics in the opening stage were ineffective, but it was a little bit worse in converting opportunities and threats into goals, and Arsenal scored the first goal, which forced Liverpool to change their style of play to improve Arsenal's defense. Compressive intensity!

After the re-kick-off, Liverpool quickly launched an attack. Arnold assisted from the right to the frontcourt to receive a pass from Casemiro and kicked a pass.

The football was hoisted into the middle of the penalty area and was cleared by Koscielny with a header.

As soon as the cleared football was controlled by Milner in the backcourt, Eriksson stepped forward to counterattack. Milner immediately passed the ball to Wijnaldum. Someone killed.

Mbappe!
After the French superstar took the ball away first, he came to the front right of the penalty area and shot decisively!

But this shot was a bit on the right track, and the goalkeeper Karius directly blocked the ball!

"Mbappe completed a shot! Although Liverpool played relatively simple in the first wave of offensive, they still forced Arsenal to make a mistake in the backcourt pass by relying on counter-attack pressure!
Mbappe's shot after stealing the ball is powerful and heavy, but it lacks an angle! "

The blocked football was first controlled by Kante, who stepped forward to intercept in Arsenal's half. Ramsey immediately launched a counterattack against him. Kante passed the ball diagonally to the left of the front field, Gareth Berla side In the response, the ball was passed back to Robertson who assisted, and the latter stopped the ball and made a cross.

Lewandowski headed in from the center of the box but it went over the top.

This wave of Liverpool's continuous offensive really made Arsenal a little overwhelmed!
The offensive adjustment Situ Yunbing ordered the team to make is that the first wave of offensive in positional warfare is mainly simple and fast attack, but then it is necessary to prepare for a counterattack, and the second attack must be played more delicately!
Hold high and fight high combined with delicate passing and cutting!

This style of play was what Liverpool were best at in the initial stage of strengthening.

It is easy to create confusion in the opponent's defensive rhythm.

Klopp had to make the team play more steadily on the sidelines, because if the rhythm is accelerated, it will be easier for Liverpool to take advantage of it. It must be recognized and admitted that Liverpool's counter-grabbing interception in the midfield is more efficient!

In the 16th minute of the game, Arsenal launched an offensive with a long pass from the backcourt. Mane quickly turned offside and controlled the ball before the baseline. Diagonal pass from wide kicker cross.

Salah also went to the bottom to respond from the right. Although the stop was very stable, there was not much room left to play.

He knocked the ball across the right side of the penalty area before Kanter killed it. Firmino quickly went forward and hit the ball from a small angle to the goal net.

Two minutes later, Liverpool created a long-range shot in front of the penalty area in the frontcourt. Gareth Bale received a short pass from Eriksson in a crosscut.

Karius made a flying save and failed to touch the football, but the football flew out of the bottom line against the outside of the right post.

All the fans were amazed.

Even though Arsenal fans watched the team take the lead, they still felt uneasy. They had many chances to lead the score against Liverpool in the past many years, but the games they were able to win in the end were zero!
Including Wenger's tenure, there have been many shocking reversals that are still fresh in their memory!

The Red Army's resilience and ability to fight headwinds are obvious to all around the world.

In the 21st minute of the game, Liverpool continued to attack in the frontcourt, but Arsenal's defensive adjustments were methodical. After Matip completed the interception of the breakthrough Mbappe in the penalty area, his kick accidentally instigated the ball. Arsenal's counter attack!

The key is that Firmino pulled the sideways to receive the pass at the first time, and then quickly cooperated with Salah to hit the wall.

After getting rid of Casemiro's defense, Firmino dribbled forward along the middle. After coming to the middle of the penalty area, seeing Liverpool's defense closing in the middle, Firmino passed the ball diagonally to the left front, immediately Quick inside, he cuts inside and prepares to catch the shot!
Van Dijk quickly turned around and put a shovel to block the opponent's offensive line. When Mane touched the ball, he pulled the ball towards the baseline.

Ter Stegen rushed out to block the near corner of the goal and blocked the ball from the bottom line!

"Wow! Mane missed a great chance to score! His shot was saved by Ter Stegen!

Although Van Dijk's shovel failed to steal the ball, it also affected Mane, forcing Mane to narrow the shooting angle. Ter Stegen played steadily and did not panic at all! "

Klopp was extremely disappointed that this opportunity was not seized.

Situ Yunbing was calm and relaxed. He naturally didn't think that Arsenal would be able to seize every excellent opportunity.

In the 25th minute of the game, Liverpool attacked in the frontcourt. When Robertson made a 45-degree cross from the left, the football was hoisted to the back of the penalty area and Matip made a header to clear the siege.

And the football he pushed out flew near Ramsey. When Ramsey wanted to control the ball, Casemiro took the lead in seizing a favorable position. After unloading the ball from the chest, he sent a through pass.

The football quickly rolled into the right side of the penalty area.

Mbappe stopped the ball in front of Matip and spiked the ball in the middle. Matip immediately moved to the middle of the penalty area, but Mbappe knocked the ball back and turned around quickly!
Eriksson, who quickly came to the right side of the penalty area, kicked the ball and sent a through pass. Wijnaldum took a step back and knocked him to the ground. The referee saw that Mbappé was offside successfully and did not blow his whistle Whistle the opponent for a foul!

After catching up with the football, Mbappe kicked and shot without hesitation!
The ball caught Karius completely off guard!

The football slid into Arsenal's goal against the inside of the near post!
The audience shook!
