Although Chen Yingxiong helped the team get a goal back, he retained hope for the team, but when he returned to the locker room, Martin O'Neal did not praise the team's performance. He now severely criticized the players' performance after falling behind, and then told them that they could still sit here and breathe, all because of luck!
Yes, it's luck. If it weren't for luck, they would have been dead.
After scolding the players, Martin O'Neal began to tell everyone how to win the second half...
That's right, Martin O'Neal is trying to win, not tie or something.
Manchester United chases tightly from behind. If Liverpool draws again, the gap between the two sides will be getting smaller and smaller.
So even if you face an extremely unfavorable situation in this game, you must win.
"We need to strengthen our defense against Van Persie. Obviously he is the core of Arsenal's offensive in this game. He can get the ball, break through, pass the ball, and shoot by himself. He is a very difficult player. I ask you to be tough when defending, and outside the penalty area, even if it is a foul. But pay attention to the location of the foul... In addition, the defense line should pay attention to rapid contraction and not give them too much space. Our two central defenders turn slowly, so don't press too much. Ryo Miyashi and Walcott are both fast players. If you give them too much space, they will use it. So when defending, the whole team must quickly classify and tightly shrink!"
Martin O'Neal spread his right hand and clenched it into a fist.
"It's like this! Let them find no gaps to get into our palms!"

In the locker room next door, Wenger was also telling his players about the second half.
He praised the team's two goals in the first half, but he also criticized the team's performance of being a little relaxed after leading two goals. If everyone could concentrate as much as before, maybe Ryo Miyagi would not miss the ball, and maybe Arsenal would have led his opponent 3:0, 4:0, so there would be no later Chen Yingxiong's goal.
But now things have happened, and criticism is useless. I should think about how to deal with a Liverpool whose morale has risen in the second half.
"Liverpool will definitely shrink their defense because they know we have found the weakness of their defense. We have to find a way to break through their dense defense and use passes! Use constant passes to tear their defense open!"
Many people think that Barcelona plays artistic football, and their passes are breathtaking. However, before Guardiola coached Barcelona, Arsenal had been playing this kind of football under Wenger for many years. Their passes are like flowing and very smooth. Unlike Barcelona's continuous back-foot-pulling ball control rate in the backcourt, Arsenal's passes are forward and more attractive. The cooperation between two or three players in a small area of defense often makes people feel that this is simply the sudden move of the players, which makes people unable to defend.
Wenger has coached Arsenal for 17 years, and he has changed a lot until now, but this has never changed. Arsenal still plays England's most adorable, beautiful and artistic football. Their small-scale cooperation in the frontcourt offense is amazing and also makes the opponent very troubled... No one has denied Arsenal's attack power, but their defense is even more troubled...

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. When Chen Yingxiong and Van Persie walked out of the channel respectively, the live cameras gave them a close-up of ten seconds, from the long view to the close-up to the partial close-up.
The director is using this method to remind the fans who are watching the game that these two people are the key figures in this game! Whoever wins and loses depends on theirs!
But this time the director guessed wrongly.
In fact, the people who were decisive in the second half were the defenders of both sides...
Liverpool's central defender Ag already shook hands with Renner during the break. Renner came out first to admit that he was a little too excited at the time and sweared to Ag. Ag was definitely embarrassed to continue to linger. He also said that he did not concentrate in the defense...
The two people shook hands and made peace, eliminating the hidden dangers on Liverpool's defense line.
In the second half, you can clearly see that Liverpool's defense line retreated very deeply. And when Arsenal attacked, Liverpool's players retreated very quickly.
Just like the tide, all of them retreated back to their defensive position.
On the Arsenal defender side, they also strengthened their defense against Chen Yingxiong.
The goal lost in the first half made many people suddenly realize - perhaps because the two goals were scored too easily, they all forgot how terrifying Liverpool's No. 9 was...
Chen Yingxiong is not the kind of guy they can underestimate!
Chen Yingxiong now just needs to get the ball, and two players come up to block the defense so that he can easily get the ball.
In controlling the high ball, Mertesak also tried his best. He was three centimeters taller than Chen Yingxiong. He was good at heading the ball, and he could compete with Chen Yingxiong in the air.
So after the second half, the two centers had nothing outstanding, but the defensive players often appeared in close-ups and became the protagonists.

Van Persie wanted to compete with Chen Yingxiong, so he was particularly enthusiastic about shooting after the second half. He repeatedly shot. However, Scotter and Agh strengthened their defense against him and always stood by his side. Moreover, he was similar to Chen Yingxiong. He is a completely left-footed player, and his right foot is not very good. If you want to shoot, you have to fall to your left foot before you can shoot, otherwise you won't shoot. In this way, it will be much easier to defend your shot, either Scotter or Agh. Just pay attention to preventing his left foot, and you can ignore your right foot...
Van Persie is trapped in a siege, and his body does not have an advantage. He can only use his foot skills to find space. However, with the overall retracement and contraction of Liverpool's three lines, the space left for him in the penalty area has become very narrow. Sometimes, it is already very good that he can protect the football from being cut off, so don't mention any shooting at all...
But this did not make him irritated.
The thirty-year-old Van Persie has matured a lot, and he is no longer the rebellious bad boy he used to be.
He knew that no one could always keep his mind high concentration in the ninety-minute game, which was very tiring, and it would be impossible for anyone to do it unless it was a robot.
He just needs to keep rushing to Liverpool's defense line like this, put pressure on them, and then wait for the moment when they break due to excessive pressure... it is his own chance!
Anyway, Arsenal has created more offensive opportunities than Liverpool. After all, this is Arsenal's home court. With the cheers and cheers of home fans, Arsenal is full of morale. Coupled with the issue of football style, Arsenal can find their way to deal with this positional battle.
Liverpool simply counterattacked with defensive defense, defended the backcourt, and then passed a long pass to Chen Yingxiong and others in front - most of the time, Chen Yingxiong was alone. Either they shot or wait for the support of their teammates.
He believed that he would get a fatal opportunity before Chen Yingxiong!

He did get it first. In the 60th minute, Liverpool's defense was moved a little, and a tiny gap was revealed, and Van Persie found it.
He received the pass in the air and then turned around and shot!
All Liverpool fans' hearts were in their throats, and Arsenal fans couldn't help but cheer in advance.
At such a close distance, Reina seemed to have raised his hand to surrender, and he could not have made any effective save.
"Opportunity! Oops..."
When everyone thought Liverpool was dead this time, Scotter played the role of savior. At the most critical moment, he stretched out a kick, and Van Persie's shot hit him in the foot, bounced out of the bottom line!
"Van Persie missed a great opportunity! His shot was blocked by Scotter!"
"It's so dangerous! Liverpool almost fell behind two goals again!"
"Scotter has become Liverpool's hero! He is the most trustworthy on the defensive end!"
Seeing the football missed the goal, Van Persie covered her mouth with her hands and widened her eyes, unable to believe this scene.
He almost scored a hat trick, helping the team regain the lead of two goals...
It's really a hell!
A word suddenly appeared in his mind - waste of opportunities will be retribution...
He couldn't help but shivered.

When Van Persie shot at the goal, Chen Yingxiong was also shocked. Fortunately, Scotter blocked the football.
Then he suddenly thought of this sentence - if you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune!

Arsenal's corner kick did not pose any threat to Liverpool. Although Arsenal has tall men like Mertesacker to compete for the top. However, both Liverpool's central defenders are over 1.9 meters tall, and with a Chen Yingxiong, Mertesacker can't take any advantage in front of Liverpool...
Van Persie has quickly come back to his senses from the missed opportunity just now. He calmed down again and began to wait for his next opportunity. He is the captain of the team and has to set an example everywhere. He cannot be shaken just because he missed such an opportunity. How can he lead the team like that?
But deep down, he was a little confused - when will he come back next time? Will he get it earlier than the hero?
He shook his head, put aside this unlucky thought, and swore in his heart.
No matter when the next opportunity comes, you must seize it!
Chapter completed!
