[Football] Crown of Thorns

Today's game is the Red Army's home court, so Anthony and his partner Rick are sitting in the commentary room. The warm-up work before the game starts with the two chatting about the information between the two teams and interpreting today's scene. Some content for players.

"...Since the establishment of the Premier League, Liverpool and Arsenal have played a total of 46 games in the league. Liverpool has 16 wins, 14 draws and 16 losses and Arsenal can be said to be evenly divided. In the home game, Liverpool played against Arsenal. At home, the score was 10 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses. In the two rounds of the league match between the two sides last season, both teams won at home... At that time, Liverpool relied on Ramsey's own goal and Suarez's buzzer in the away game The goal beat the Gunners, and when he returned to Anfield, he missed a penalty in the first half and Koscielny scored an own goal. Kill. Speaking of which, in the two games of last season, both sides beat the opponent at the buzzer!"

"That's right, and judging from the first two rounds of the new season, Arsenal failed to score two consecutive 0-0 goals, while Liverpool remained unbeaten with 1 draw, 1 win..."

"...We talked about the past records of the two sides earlier, so let's take a look at the starting lineups of the two sides today..."

“利物浦方面：25-雷纳；2-格伦-约翰逊、37-斯科特尔、5-阿格、3-恩里克；8-杰拉德、24-乔-阿伦、10-达加马；29-博里尼、7-苏亚雷斯、31-斯特林，一个典型的433阵容。”

“阿森纳：24-曼诺内；25-詹金森、4-默特萨克、5-维尔马伦、28-吉布斯；2-迪亚比、8-阿尔特塔、19-卡索拉；15-张伯伦、12-吉鲁、9-波多尔斯基。同样主打433。”

"Judging from the rosters of both sides, there have been some changes in the starting lineups of both teams. Liverpool's Agger came back from the ban and replaced Coates in the starting lineup. The injured Enrique replaced Kelly; Arsenal's Chamberlain replaced Gerald. Vigno, the Gunner has only this one change..."

"The game is about to start, and players from both sides have already entered the field."

"Liverpool got the kick-off..."

At the start of the game, Gerrard gently pushed the ball under his feet and handed it to Joe Allen.

Joe Allen slipped a little and passed the ball to Gama.

Gama looked straight ahead, looked straight at Cazorla, who was coming to block the ball, and dunked the ball with his feet. After passing the opponent, he dribbled the ball forward. As soon as the body is flexible, he sprints over and controls the ball under his feet again to continue to move forward.

"Pretty!"

In the stadium, the cheers of the fans immediately aroused the enthusiasm of the game.

In the commentary room, Anthony even slapped the table and roared.

Rick on the side nodded calmly, "The continuous dribbling just now was very smooth and natural. It can be seen that Da Gama's personal skills are really good. Of course, I think I pay more attention to his organization and passing. ability, after all, he has not been transferred to Liverpool for a long time..."

On the court, Gama, who had already rushed straight into the opponent's half, did not hesitate. The frontcourt teammates had advanced to a favorable position, and Gama made a direct pass.

Suarez grabs the spot...he is knocked down by Mertesacker at the Gunners' defence.

The referee Weber blew his whistle, and he ruled the opponent fouled. Although he didn't play a card, he gave the Red Army a free kick.

It was a good free kick at the front of the penalty area. Gama ran two steps forward and stopped because he saw that Suarez was already standing there.

In the last league game, Gerrard jokingly asked Gama to take a free kick in the second half, but the first free throw shooter in the stadium has not yet been determined. If it is punished, others will not say anything, and Jia Ma himself is not good at grabbing this opportunity again.

But it's a pity...

Gama, who was licking his lower lip, looked up at the gunmen's action against the wall, and then he simply stepped back a few meters.

Watching Suarez's right-footed kick go above the crossbar and hit the rear, Gama's tongue tipped his lips -- I don't have a crow's mouth or a crow's mouth.

Afterwards, the Gunners launched a counterattack with the halfway ball being snatched by Gama unceremoniously and passed back to Borini's feet. Borini's shot from the right side of the penalty area missed the post.

Although the goal was missed, the fans at the scene still gave warm applause, which was for Gama.

"I want to say that I once again thank Steven for his persuasion and bought Da Gama back for Liverpool~~"

Anthony smiled and said to Rick.

Rick nodded with a serious face, "Dagama is a good player, and the price-performance ratio of buying him is really worth it."

The Gunners counterattacked on the field. Arsenal players, who are known as the only skilled players in the Premier League, played a wave of very smooth and beautiful collisions on the field. However, the defense of the Red Army was very tight this time. During the melee, Cazorla Just a kick towards the football, he hit a ground ball and cast a cold shot, but this cold shot was hugged by the focused Reina.

The Gunners coach Wenger on the sidelines shook his head slightly, while Rogers patted his chest nervously.

Reina served from the backcourt, and after two passes, the ball was handed to Gama.

After a few games, the Red Army players also found that it would be safer and more secure to hand the ball to Gama, so everyone began to pass the ball actively, which made it much less necessary for Gama to keep the ball on his own. .

Scanning the surroundings out of the corner of his eyes, Gama stared straight ahead and dribbled the ball slowly forward.

The Gunners players seemed slightly nervous, especially those who had played against Gama before, and they did not dare to relax and stared at Gama.

Coach Arsene Wenger emphasized many times before the game that they should not relax their supervision on Da Gama. They had suffered the same loss before. They did not expect Da Gama to let them almost concede a goal in the first few minutes, so they faced Gama. Even more nervous when the horse is dribbling.

After estimating the distance, Gama licked his lower lip and suddenly kicked a long pass. The football flew over the heads of the opposing players and landed about one meter below the feet of Suarez in front. Suarez only needed to step forward One step forward and you can hit the goal... As a result, Vermaelen skidded and tackled the ball quickly, and the ball was shoveled out of the baseline.

Liverpool corner.

Gama glanced at Suarez, the man who looked simple and honest grinned, and smiled shyly at Gama who ran over.

The so-called Gama, who would find it funny when he gets angry, also smiled back at him: This poor kid, he has been blackmailed by the media for several consecutive scenes, so I will stop laughing at him. .Tsk tsk, I'm such a nice guy!

Gama, who ran over to take a corner kick, took a high-altitude kick directly from the right. Their defender Agger jumped up to grab the point and scored with a header. Unfortunately, his header was not at a very good angle. The ball slid directly past the goal line.

I don’t know why the Gunners made consecutive mistakes after the start of the game. The goalkeeper was intercepted by the Red Army players and launched an attack as soon as the goalkeeper threw the ball. In an instant, Joe Allen and Gerrard cooperated and hoisted the ball into the left side of the penalty area. Suarez Si's header from the left side of the penalty area went wide.

"Hey, what a pity~~"

Anthony shouted in disappointment.

Rick continued to maintain his calm face, "...the goal was not scored. In the third league game after the start of the new season, Suarez has not scored in a row..."

Gama in the stadium bowed his head and reflected. He shouldn't have laughed at Suarez, really, really shouldn't have ridiculed-is his crow's mouth really so powerful? ? ?

The Red Army, who wasted their chances, was quickly caught off guard by the Gunners.

The Gunners' Vermaelen dribbled the ball forward at high speed from the side and then shot a long shot at the Red Army's goal. Fortunately, due to the distance, the ball failed to hit the power. Reina caught the ball and threw it with his long arm. Gave it to Enrique.

Enrique took a few steps and then passed to Gerrard, and Gerrard made another pass.

After Gama took the ball, he played a half-high ball, and Joe Allen led the attack from the side.

When Sterling got the ball passed by Joe Allen, he was slammed by Jenkinson who was on the Gunners' defense and lost the ball. However, Sterling immediately returned to the spot after losing the ball. The two entangled, but in the end the football was still lost. Sterling got it, and after taking a step with the ball, he was tripped by Arteta behind him. The referee Webber blew his whistle and showed Arteta a yellow card.

Meanwhile, Liverpool won a free kick.

Without waiting for Gama to say anything, Suarez, who was very confident, had already ran over and stood behind the football to prepare for a free throw.

Gama pinched his fingers, and he decided that if Suarez still didn't score this goal, he would not allow Suarez to waste another chance, even if the Jie team said nothing.

Suarez took a free kick, and instead of hitting the goal directly, he played a tactical match. Gerrard caught the ball and shot angrily but was blocked by the wall.

Gama rushed to make a follow-up shot, Mertesacker rushed over and directly blocked Gama's shot with his body, taking advantage of this opportunity, Gibbs of the Gunners ran over and kicked the ball to their goalkeeper, and this ended the game A period of contention.

During this period of time, none of the Red Army players came up to help grab the ball.

Jia Ma gritted his teeth, feeling a kind of anger rising in his heart.

Seeing that Jia Ma's face was obviously darkened, Gerrard ran over and patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, "It's okay, come again!"

What kind of consolation is this?

Gama squinted at Gerrard angrily, moved his mouth but said nothing.

Although the Red Army has a sense of majesty in their momentum, from another perspective, they do have some problems in their mentality. It is no wonder that they have not had a single champion in these years except for the League Cup last season. They hit hard enough, and it’s no wonder that players who want to compete for the championship keep leaving. If it’s not true love, they really can’t keep it (such as the Jie team). Of course, sometimes even true love can’t hold it.

In the 31st minute of the first half, Arsenal took the lead in breaking the deadlock.

The Red Army's defense made a mistake. Borini missed the ball when receiving the ball. Vermaelen intercepted the ball in the backcourt of Arsenal and launched a counterattack quickly. Podolski received the ball and passed it to Cazorla in the frontcourt. Cazorla took the ball to The front of the penalty area went straight to the left space, and Podolski, who quickly got in place, received the ball with his left foot and made a slight adjustment, then shot into the lower right corner of the goal with his left foot.

0 to 1, Prince Polti scored the first goal of the season for Arsenal.

The few Gunners fans who came with the team gave a rare and very enthusiastic cheer.

Gama stared at his old opponent, saw him running and jumping excitedly to celebrate his goal, and let out a cold snort.

Waiting for the ball to kick off again in the middle circle, this time it was Gerrard who made a mistake. He passed the ball at the wrong angle and was intercepted by the Gunners' Cazorla, and then the ball was passed to Podolski, Prince Polti He shot from the left rib of the penalty area. The ball was blocked by Agger with his body and then held by Reina.

Reina held the ball firmly, yelled at his teammates twice, and then threw the ball to Gama who retreated.

Jia Ma controlled the ball at his feet, and dribbled the ball towards the opponent's half with a cold face.

Arteta rushed over to intercept Gama, and collided with him unceremoniously. The moment his body collided with him, he turned and ran sideways, so Arteta staggered and almost fell. , Gama didn't care what happened behind him, he just took the ball and continued to rush forward. When he entered the left side of the front field at about 45 degrees, he passed the ball diagonally to the goal. Sterling stretched out his thigh and moved forward. knock.

The football bounced off the crossbar which had been vacated by goalkeeper Mannone.

Just when everyone was lamenting, the football flew back with a whoosh.

1 to 1, the Red Army tied the score.

"Ow~~~"

It only took a second for Anthony to go from disappointment to happiness, and he screamed loudly with a long voice.

Although Rick looked calm, he roared excitedly, "Oh, what a pity...the goal is scored!!! GOALLLLLL!"

"Dagama, it was Dagama who succeeded!!!"

"Dagama!!!"

Gama was panting, until the referee's whistle sounded after seeing the football stably rushing into the net, he threw a punch excitedly, and hugged Sterling who rushed over.

Immediately afterwards, someone jumped on his back, one, two, three...

Mom, you bastards! ! !

Jia Ma couldn't stand up any longer, and fell to the side with a snap, a stupid man with his bones rumbling to the ground.

In the 38th minute of the first half, Liverpool tied the score and the goal was scored by da Gama.
