Football: The Strongest Hexagon Warrior
Chapter 454 Battle for the top spot: No. 1 in modern football history (page 12)
"aoaoaoaoooooooo——"
The packed Anfield stadium erupted into deafening roars, one wave after another.
The Liverpool fans in the audience were particularly excited, cheering for the home team who adopted a high defense.
At the beginning of the game, Arsenal, who had a kick-off advantage, was planning to organize an offensive step by step. Unexpectedly, the home team Liverpool all pressed high, so that Xhaka, who received the ball, was a little flustered and had to kick the ball out of bounds.
Arteta, who was standing in the visiting team coach's technical area, frowned and felt uneasy about the fanatical atmosphere that hit his face.
Klopp on the other end is full of passion, constantly using inflammatory body movements to instill tactical gestures into the players on the field to continue to apply pressure.
Most of the players on this team have played under Klopp for three years, and even Salah has played for one and a half seasons. The overall tactical integration is extremely high, and he has the ultimate execution of the tactics deployed by Klopp. force.
It is also true that the defending champion Arsenal was given a blow right from the start.
Coupled with being at home, the home team fans can give them extra boost, making the overall threat very high.
Martin was also surprised by Liverpool's strength. He did not expect that Liverpool, who could easily handle the European Super Cup and the first round of this season, would have such a big change in a few months.
To be cautious, Martin was positioned further back than he had been in the past few months, in order to protect the defense and prevent the rising Liverpool from seizing the opportunity to take the lead.
Once this Liverpool team takes the lead, the next game will be even more difficult.
Although he still maintains an astonishing record of not losing a game, he must be careful to sail the ship for thousands of years.
After all, records are meant to be broken.
What if?
Before Arnold threw a throw-in from the right, Martin also encouraged his teammates, hoping that everyone could wake up and not give Liverpool any chance.
In Martin's plan, he first bases himself on defense and then waits for opportunities to attack.
There is no good solution for Liverpool's positional battle, especially when facing a team with strong defensive capabilities like Arsenal.
The defense system led by Van Dijk is very solid, and Martin, Kanter, and Xhaka assist in protecting the space in front of the back line. Whether it is Firmino who retreats to participate in the offensive organization, or Fabinho, Neither Henderson nor Salah has the ability to send the ball to the most dangerous areas or grasp it personally in the ever-changing opportunities.
After surviving the home team Liverpool's three blows at the beginning, Arsenal, under the leadership of Martin, gradually created opportunities to threaten Alisson's goal.
It has to be said that Liverpool's investment in Alisson was well worth it. He defended the ball with a high pitch and tried to keep the goal.
As Arsenal started to attack, the home team fans at Anfield did not seem to have the momentum they had at the beginning, and were replaced by hesitation and uneasiness.
The look he looked at Martin was full of fear.
They all know that once Arsenal captain Martin is in shape, he is simply unstoppable.
Therefore, everyone hopes that the home team can break the deadlock as soon as possible before Martin exerts his strength.
Whenever Martin takes the ball, there will always be a wave of frightening exclamations above Anfield.
There is no other reason.
Martin is in excellent condition. He can threaten Alisson with the ball, dribbling, passing, and shooting from long range.
No one is sure that the Brazilian national goalkeeper will continue to perform like a god.
In the blink of an eye, the game came to ten minutes.
Liverpool used a wide range of running and high-intensity pressing to get some possession of the ball, but after the ball changed hands, they lacked a midfield core who could send the ball to dangerous areas.
To put it simply, Liverpool lacks a superstar like Martin who can create excellent opportunities.
Salah's speed, dribbling, and shooting are very good, but it is a bit difficult to expect him to pass through balls as precise as a scalpel.
In the 14th minute of the game, Martin got the ball in the middle and shook off Wijnaldum. He shot about 33 meters from the goal.
"Bang~"
Henderson was half a beat too slow to block, and the angle of the powerful and heavy football was quite tricky. Alisson stretched his body to the extreme without touching the football. When many Liverpool fans closed their eyes and resigned themselves to their fate, the football hit the right goal post heavily. The intersection with the beam made a crisp collision sound.
Lovren, who returned to the goal, reacted very quickly and headed the ball over the baseline with his head before Mahrez.
"oooooooo——"
The frightening exclamations swept through the entire Anfield stadium in an instant.
Arteta, the coach of the visiting team, was directing the technical area with his hands on his head, his face full of disbelief.
If the angle had been further in, the score would have been ahead.
What a pity!
Arsenal players on the pitch and on the bench felt sorry for this.
On the other hand, the person involved, Martin, was unfazed. He just shook his head lightly.
The Liverpool players who took a deep breath looked at Martin with eyes full of fear, envy and jealousy.
How could he... be so strong?
The live director gave Martin a close-up shot of his face.
Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkailang said: "Martin is in great condition! If Liverpool can't limit Martin's performance, I think... Arsenal's goal is not far away..."
Immediately, Mahrez's offensive corner kick from the right was not of good quality, and the ball was easily picked off by Alisson who jumped high and decisively hit the edge of the small penalty area.
The Brazilian national goalkeeper is very capable of launching counterattacks, and the pre-match tactical drills also included relevant links. He used the cover of central defender Lovren to bypass the players in front of him to the right, took two lunges on the edge of the small penalty area on the right, and kicked the ball away with his big feet. To the right of the frontcourt.
"Oops!"
Martin in the penalty area immediately realized that something was wrong.
Alisson is very capable of launching counterattacks with his big feet, which is exactly the same as Salah's movement.
Neither Kante nor Ricardo Pereira, who was behind to defend Kante and Ricardo Pereira, was particularly fast. He had an advantage at the beginning, but as the running distance increased, he fell flat and fell behind...
The Liverpool fans at Anfield went crazy and roared with deafening roars.
I saw the running Salah passing by the right sideline, stopping Alisson's well-timed big kick in one go, and dribbling the ball towards Leno's guarded goal without slowing down.
"Salah!"
"Single sword!!"
PP sports commentator Zhan Jun is a Liverpool fan, and at this moment his high-pitched voice echoed throughout the live broadcast room.
Whether they are Liverpool fans at the scene or in front of the TV, they are all very familiar with this scene.
The extremely fast Salah dribbled the ball straight in, faced goalkeeper Leno and easily kicked the ball into the far corner of the goal.
Kanter and Ricardo Pereira, who were chasing each other all the way, stopped in place depressedly, shook their heads and sighed.
Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai said: "This is the charm of football. You never know what will happen in the next second. We once thought Arsenal was very close to opening the scoring. Unexpectedly, Alisson assisted Arsenal with a big kick. Lage scored with a single goal and took the lead! Next, I think the game will be even more exciting!”
