Chapter 989 Destroy him!
At Anfield, the battle is imminent.

"Good afternoon, viewers, and welcome to the third round of the 2017-2018 English Premier League season at Anfield. The defending champion Red Army Liverpool is playing at home against Arsenal Arsenal!
We all know that Liverpool has monopolized the Premier League championship for five consecutive years. They broke records, set new records, and then continued to push up their records, making it even more difficult for latecomers to surpass!

The biggest topic about the Premier League is who can become Liverpool's competitor and who has the capital to overthrow the Red Army's dynasty!

After two league rounds in the new season, Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United have won all four teams. At present, it is actually difficult to conclude which team is stronger, but there is no doubt that Liverpool is absolutely still It is the strongest team in this league and even in European football!

Klopp said before the game that if Arsenal want to hit the championship, they must get good results in a direct dialogue with Liverpool, but today they face the Red Army with a relatively well-organized lineup in an away game.

Let's take a look at the starting lineups of the two teams.

Liverpool starting 433.
Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.

Defenders: Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Koulibaly, Guerrero.

Midfield: Casemiro, Eriksen, Kante.

Forwards: Mbappe, Lewandowski, Gareth Bale.

Arsenal starting 433.
Goalkeeper: Karius.

Defenders: Bellerin, Koscielny, Matip, Chambers.

Midfielders: Milner, Ramsey, Wijnaldum.

Forwards: Salah, Firmino, Mane.

After experiments at the beginning of the season, Klopp finally decided to play Milner in midfield, with Chambers at left-back.

The game is about to start, let us look forward to what kind of trend this battle will show! "

The midfielders of both teams are very tough!

But Situ Yunbing is not at all worried that Liverpool will lose in the midfield competition.

With the fanatical and passionate cheering atmosphere at Anfield Stadium, the referee blew his whistle and blew the whistle for the start of the game.

Liverpool took the lead and immediately launched a fast break.

Lewandowski withstood the pincer attack from Milner and Ramsey in the middle of the front court. After knocking the ball back, Eriksson missed the ball under the defense of Firmino. Casemiro followed Come in and directly pass the ball to the right side of the frontcourt. Mbappe took the ball and then knocked the ball to the sideline. The ball is passed.

Gareth Bale followed up from the far end and Koscielny took the lead in clearing the ball.

After Arsenal completed the clearance, the midfielders quickly went to fight for the football, and they were very motivated.

Although Milner took the lead in relaying the ball with a header to the wing, Salah slammed into the frontcourt and tried to pass Kante in the fast advance of the wide ball, but Kanter's precise interception destroyed the ball. !

Situ Yunbing was not surprised by Arsenal's performance. In fact, they must have played a defensive counterattack when they came to the away game today.

After the Community Shield, Klopp should have realized more deeply that if he wants to confront Liverpool head-on, Arsenal is still far behind in terms of strength!

So today Liverpool's defense is that Kanter is responsible for assisting the defense on the left, mainly to contain Salah's advancement and inside threat!

Liverpool quickly organized a fast break after a successful defense. Eriksson hit the ball across the right in front of the center circle. Arnold quickly advanced forward and stopped to push the offensive forward. When he pushed the offensive, Wijnaldu Mu obviously helped to defend the wing in advance, forming a zone defense with Chambers to resist the threat of Liverpool's right-sided attack.

However, Arnold made a 45-degree pass from the side. The football flew into the middle of the penalty area. Lewandowski shook his head and headed the ball high under the attack!

Failed to create a threat.

Situ Yunbing immediately gestured to the team after seeing this scene on the sidelines.

With a wave of his big hand, he pointed to Arsenal's left defense, and the meaning couldn't be more clear: blast him!

In the 6th minute of the game, Liverpool and Arsenal were fighting in the midfield. On Arsenal's side, Ramsey made a long pass from the backcourt to find Mane on the left side of the frontcourt. It also made Casemiro a little out of position, but he failed when he slammed the ball into the penalty area and tried to dunk Van Dijk!
Klopp's face sinks like water on the sidelines, Liverpool's defense is layer after layer, and each layer is top-notch!
Such an opponent can easily wear down the patience and confidence of the attacking side!
Finally fell into endless despair!
In the 9th minute of the game, when Gareth Bale knocked the ball back diagonally to Eriksson from the left, the latter ran into the center of the frontcourt in cooperation with Casemiro hitting the wall, but did not go deep Attacking the dangerous area, when Ramsey stepped forward to press, Eriksson passed the ball diagonally to the right in front of the penalty area.

When Mbappe responded, Wijnaldum came to his side again. Mbappe knocked the ball back to Arnold who was plugged in. After the ball, he immediately turned around and cut in!
Chambers followed up and Wijnaldum blocked Arnold's pass to Mbappe, but Arnold passed the ball diagonally to the right of the penalty area.

Wijnaldum looked back, and the picture that caught his eyes was Lewandowski taking the initiative to respond with a kick and kicked the ball obliquely into the right rib area of ​​​​the penalty area!
Mbappe cut too fast!
Chambers has lost his position in the defense, and it is impossible to make a personal interception!

Mbappe made a fake cross-cut action to Matip before touching the ball, which made Matip's defensive center of gravity tilted, but Mbappe moved the ball along the baseline and changed direction at the same time Running towards the bottom line, seeing Gareth Bale's running route blocked by Koscielny, Mbappe kicked the goal directly!
Although the angle is not good, the ball is powerful and goes straight to the near corner of Arsenal's goal. Karius quickly blocked the near corner of the goal, almost subconsciously raised his hand to block, and the football changed direction and flew out of the baseline.

call!
All the fans in the audience gasped in amazement.

Mbappe gave Lewandowski a thumbs up without changing his face, and then gestured to Gareth Bale, indicating that there was no good chance to pass the ball to his feet.

"Mbappe's shot was blocked by Karius! This new Arsenal signing may not fit the exciting player Situ Yunbing defined before the season.

But judging from his performance at the beginning of the season, he is still a good signing.

Although the rescue was a bit reluctant just now, but in the end it was trying to keep the city gate intact! "

Liverpool quickly took a tactical corner kick. After a peripheral transfer, Guerrero hoisted the ball into the penalty area from the left. Afterwards, Casemiro headed the goal directly. Unfortunately, the top was a bit straight, and the football was caught by Cary. Us immediately confiscated it.

Karius directly threw the ball to start a fast break, but the ball was thrown to the midfield to find Mane, but was cut off by Kanter!
Arsenal's forward movement stopped abruptly and they made quick defensive adjustments.

After Liverpool quickly passed the organization in the frontcourt, Eriksson received Gareth Bale's pass from the right side of the penalty area and kicked the goal directly!

The long shot with the effect of the arc of the outer instep made Karius unresponsive. As a result, the football flew out of the baseline against the outside of the near goal post!

"Wow! Eriksson's long-range shot was a hair's breadth away, almost piercing Arsenal's goal!
Arsenal's counterattack must ensure the success rate. If they handle the ball hastily, it is likely to increase the defensive pressure on their defense line!

After all, Liverpool is famous for playing fast! "

Situ Yunbing grinned slightly on the sidelines. These few waves of offensive Liverpool are a little short of scoring goals, but we should not be too demanding on offensive players who cannot grasp the opportunity. It was very difficult to get an excellent opportunity from Arsenal who played defensive counterattack. .

Klopp's expression is already very dignified, and the current situation is very unfavorable to Arsenal.

There is a big problem with their midfield operation. They have no defense and lack the efficiency of offensive and defensive transitions.

Firmino's position is getting deeper and deeper, and it can't be said that this is wrong, but in this way, Salah and Mane lack a bridge to connect!
He went to the sidelines and gestured to the two strikers on the field so that they could bond more closely.

In the 13th minute of the game, when Arsenal made a fast break from the left side of the front court, Salah came from the right side to the area near the center to respond.

Mane and Firmino collided with the wall and quickly went to the bottom. The ball changed direction and forcibly wiped Arnold and then faced Van Dijk. At this time, Mane stopped and dialed the ball back, and passed the ball to Salah at an angle. .

Salah is fast, moving forward to grab Coulibaly's forward position.

If Coulibaly is a fledgling central defender, this style of play will definitely catch Coulibaly by surprise.

But Coulibaly moved ahead of time to block Salah on the outside, and at the same time used the arch of his foot to pad the ball to the middle of the backcourt, successfully defusing the danger and allowing the team to launch a fast break immediately.

After all, these years have experienced the baptism of war. Although Salah is capable, he has not yet reached the top ranks in terms of tactical literacy. Compared with those top stars who are better at finding opportunities through technical and tactical coordination, Salah After all, the threat of He is still a little smaller. Of course, Salah definitely has his own dazzling place in the three-acre land of the Premier League.

After possession of the ball in the backcourt, Casemiro quickly passed the ball diagonally to the right of the midfielder.

Arnold waded through the midfield first under the pursuit of Mane. At this time, Wijnaldum had already run towards Mbappe.

When Arnold passed the ball straight ahead, Wijnaldum became more determined to help defend the wing. At the same time, Milner moved to the center of the penalty area, and Ramsey pressed Eriksson who was forward.

After Mbappe touched the ball, he took two steps back and knocked the ball across the middle. When Casemiro quickly followed up, he kicked the ball and passed it straight. The football rolled to the front left of the penalty area.

I saw that Lewandowski immediately knocked the ball across the left side after Koscielny stopped the ball.

At this time, Arsenal clearly believed that Liverpool's offensive transfer would be sparked by Gareth Bale and Lewandowski, focusing on the left rib of the defense!
So they moved defensively to this side to increase their troops.

But Gareth Bell made a half-high pass with his left foot after adjusting a step in the active response!

The football bypassed Koscielny and flew to the middle of the goal!

When Matip realized the crisis, Mbappe had already cut in quickly to the front of the goal, and directly volleyed the ball into the upper left corner of the goal!

Karius was dumbfounded!
