Football: The Strongest Hexagon Warrior

"Edinson! Head the ball back!"

"That is……"

"Martin!!"

"Heading relay!"

"In! Hat trick!"

"Arsenal exceeds the score again! 3:2!!"

……

Martin, who scored the goal, did not celebrate alone. He pointed to Cavani and his nearby teammates who had hit the ball behind the header, and came together to celebrate this goal that once again exceeded the score.

The Arsenal fans at the Emirates Stadium were as excited as children, dancing and dancing.

After a brief absence, the Liverpool fans quickly recovered and turned to encourage the players.

They believe that if their team can equalize the score twice, it will definitely equalize three times, and it is even possible to go ahead.

Liverpool has a natural reversal gene!

Emre Can, who was standing in the substitution technical area, turned to Klopp and asked: "Boss, do I still play?"

"on!"

After coming back to his senses, Klopp nodded firmly: "It's better to replace Adam. If we want to maintain a tie and win, solving the midfield defense is the first issue."

"OK~"

Before the game restarted, Liverpool took the lead in making substitutions.

Emre Can replaced Lallana, the goalscorer.

Some Dragon Country fans were a little surprised. In their view, Liverpool, which was lagging behind, should reduce defensive players and increase offensive players.

Central 5 commentator He Wei saw Klopp's intention to adjust: "Arsenal's midfield is too strong. It is difficult for the three midfielders composed of Henderson, Wijnaldum and Lallana to defend effectively. Use defensive attributes to be more effective." The strong Emre Can replaced Lallana, and Klopp probably wanted to take back the initiative first."

It's just that Emre Can's appearance didn't have much effect. First of all, the Arsenal midfielder led by Martin is very tough, and can break through Liverpool's central defense through quick transitions from defense to offense.

The only change is that the defensive pressure is not as great as before.

After all, Lallana is an attacking midfielder and does not help much defensively.

Central midfielder Emre Can has relatively strong defensive ability and a large body. He is like blocking a wall in the middle.

Two minutes later, Arsenal also made adjustments.

Gnabry replaced Walcott to maintain the defensive pressure on Moreno on the right, while inhibiting Coutinho's involvement in the attack.

This adjustment can be said to have an immediate effect. Sanchez is not in particularly good condition and has hardly made any breakthroughs. Arsenal's three-goal lead is entirely due to Martin's outstanding performance. The young Gnabry only has one task.

blasting!

After receiving Xhaka's forward pass, Martin stopped and passed, got rid of Emre Can, and directly distributed the ball to Gnabry, who was attacking the right rib.

The former Gnabry was supposed to leave the team this summer, but his outstanding performance at the end of last season was recognized by Wenger's coaching staff, and his performance in the summer warm-up match was remarkable. It was planned to give him more in the new season. Chance.

The 21-year-old Gnabry received the pass from Martin with great enthusiasm.

Directly using his superb foot skills to test the defensive concentration of Moreno and Coutinho who was covering the defense.

Several consecutive changes of rhythm did not change the breakthrough angle, and Gnabry was not annoyed. Instead, he followed the game tactics formulated before the game and gave the ball to Martin, who was bound to respond.

Emre Can wanted to go around and steal the ball, but Martin stepped forward with his left foot and directly blocked the person. Then he used the arch of his right foot to pass the rolling football directly to the space behind Klavan and Moreno.

Bellerin, who was running at high speed along the right road, overtook on the outside. Realizing that the situation was not good, Coutinho tried to trip him with his foot, but unexpectedly kicked a ball of air.

"Bellerin!"

Bellerin, who was running at high speed, also handled the ball directly without stopping. He used the arch of his right foot to quickly bring the ball to the center.

Low pass!

Cavani, who was in a favorable position, blocked Lovren behind him and hit with his feet in front.

Lovren's down block hit nothing.

Goalkeeper Mignolet had no idea how to hit the goal from such close range.

"Yaaaaaaaaaaaa——"

The football hit the right side of the net, and the Emirates Stadium instantly resounded with the joyful sounds of Arsenal fans' excited goals.

After scoring the goal, Cavani stood up from the ground with both hands, spread his arms, and celebrated his first goal in the Premier League by sliding on his knees.

In a fanatical atmosphere, Arsenal players gathered together to celebrate the joy of expanding the score.

Liverpool had equalized the score twice before, and a 4:2 lead is definitely more secure than a 3:2 lead.

Klopp, who was standing in the visiting team coach's technical area, was stunned. He originally wanted to tangle with Arsenal by strengthening the defense in the middle, and then find a way to equalize the score. Unexpectedly, the offensive system led by Martin directly widened the point difference.

He couldn't help but look at Martin.

The essence of this ball is that his kick penetrated the entire defense line and found Bellerin, who was overtaking from the outside at high speed.

The roles of Bellerin and Cavani are not that important in Klopp's eyes.

However, the score was already behind and his team had no way out.

If only one goal is behind, stabilizing the situation will most likely equalize the score.

Being two goals behind requires not only a solid defense, but also an efficient attack on the offensive end.

Origi, who has not yet shown his 'Koi' characteristics, replaced Wijnaldum, whose mobility has declined.

While the formation remains unchanged, Coutinho is moved from the left wing to the attacking midfielder position, Mane changes from the right to the left, and Origi goes to the right.

Klopp's reason for doing this is simple. While releasing Coutinho, he ensures that the left winger can put huge pressure on Arsenal's right defense.

Mane is fast and can cut inside.

However, the actual combat was slightly lacking, and it did not develop exactly as Klopp thought.

Arsenal still uses their home court advantage to dominate the game. The division of labor between Martin and Xhaka is becoming increasingly clear. Kanter can also help deliver the ball when the two are closely guarded, thereby completing a rapid shift in the direction of attack.

Even though Liverpool players are known for their physical fitness, facing more than 70 minutes of high-intensity running is still a bit difficult.

The key is that increasing the running coverage cannot complete the interception, causing the players' enthusiasm to decrease as time passes and physical fitness declines.

Klopp's team starts with high-position defense. How can we not see the decline in player movement?

But he was also a professional player. Nowadays, football games have high-tech equipment that can accurately capture the hot spots of player activities. At the 75th minute of the game, the players, excluding goalkeeper Mignolet, ran more than 10,000 meters. .

In other words, his players gave it their all.

As a head coach who is good at inciting, Klopp knows what to say at this time to inspire the players' fighting spirit.

Self-breakthrough is often at the most difficult moment.

As long as the point difference is narrowed, the extra motivation to equalize the score will come!

The Liverpool players on the field seemed to be full of energy, and their running coverage increased.

Arsenal captain Martin keenly noticed the changes in his opponent, and he knew what to do in the next game.
