Chapter 880 Counterattack Again
Liverpool's counterattack was very fast and very simple. Alonso made a long pass, Benardong came down from the bottom, Chen Yu shot, and the passes were only twice, which took only three or four seconds. The threat formed was not small. Arsenal goalkeeper Amunia did not have a good position, and it was not easy to save the ball. The position can be said to be a kind of ability or luck. So after saving the ball, Amunia yelled at the defensive player, showing his huge dissatisfaction with the defense line.
The Liverpool fans were very upset by Arsenal at home. Chen Yu's shot made them feel quite proud. Many fans couldn't help but shout Chen Yu's name at this time.
Arsenal head coach Wenger was also secretly shocked when he counterattacked Liverpool. The counterattack was too fast and if he pressed too far, there would be no time to return to defense. It depends on the performance of the defender and goalkeeper. Although Amunia easily saved this time, he only gave Liverpool a corner kick, and the next time it may not be so easy.
Wenger actually doesn't like playing like this with Liverpool. He doesn't have much space in the frontcourt and Arsenal doesn't have many chances to shoot. If Liverpool can attack, Arsenal will feel more comfortable to play.
However, Arsenal is in a strong momentum now, and Wenger is unwilling to attack the enthusiasm of the players. They are still young and do not know how to control the rhythm. The morale is rising faster and disappearing faster. If Wenger makes them stable, they may not be nervous later, so Wenger has no choice but to wait and see if Arsenal's offensive efficiency is high or Liverpool's counterattack efficiency is higher.
Liverpool's header advantage is not obvious in the Premier League, but Arsenal's header is even weaker in the Premier League. Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal can bully Arsenal by heading. Liverpool's corner kick is a good opportunity. After being suppressed by Arsenal through ground attack for so long, Liverpool is preparing to take advantage of the corner kick opportunity to give back.
Liverpool's headers all came to Arsenal's penalty area. Riser and Gerrard, who are good at long-range shooting, responded on the outside, and Alonso, who has the best passing skills, came to take the penalty. The importance of this corner kick made Arsenal players a little uneasy. Goalkeeper Amunia kept waving his hand to command his teammates' standing. Adebayo failed to follow Kuyt and was shouted by him.
The Liverpool commentator on the scene said: "Setting pieces are Liverpool's opportunity. Arsenal's morale was very strong before. If we can hit Arsenal's morale through this corner kick, it will be very beneficial to the following game. For example, between giants, morale is very important. Whoever can overwhelm the opponent in momentum can take the lead and get a greater chance of winning."
Chen Yu's heading skills are also excellent, but Chen Yu is only 1.8 meters tall, and standing in the penalty area is not the best choice. Chen Yu did not choose to stand in the small penalty area, but stood on the periphery of the large penalty area, waiting for an opportunity to jump into the top, so that he can fully utilize his speed advantage.
When serving the corner kick, Alonso made a hidden gesture for Chen Yu, and the Arsenal players also saw this gesture, but they didn't know who Alonso was making this gesture, nor did they know what this gesture meant. They could only focus their attention around Alonso to prevent Alonso from playing tactical cooperation with their teammates.
As soon as the referee's whistle sounded, most of the players in the penalty area did not move, waiting for Alonso to drive the ball out and determine the landing point of the ball, but Chen Yu moved in advance. He ran to the front point. Alonso just gestured to him to run to the front point.
When Chen Yu started, Alonso also drove the corner kick out, which was a low flat ball. Chen Yu happened to arrive, and the header flew to the back point.
This corner kick cooperation is also a routine routine, and Arsenal is not without precautions for this, but Chen Yu's header was a bit strong, and Alonso was shaken by the middle of the ball. He didn't have time to grab it, so the ball flew straight to the outside of the penalty area.
However, for Liverpool players, such corner kicks were trained in normal times. Liser at the back point was ambushed on the side of the penalty area when Alonso made a corner kick. After Chen Badminton rubbed the ball over, Liser took the lead two steps, stopped the ball in his chest, and volleyed to the near corner of the goal without waiting for the ball to land.
Arsenal goalkeeper Amunia was still very alert today. He moved quickly to the far point when Chen Badminton headed the ball. Finally, when Liser shot, he arrived in time and flew to block the ball from the sideline with both hands.
Liverpool's corner kick attack scared Arsenal. Many people did not expect that Liverpool's corner kick cooperation was so exquisite. Arsenal had already made the most strict defense and thought that they did not give Liverpool any opportunity to take advantage of it. However, Liverpool actually found a chance to shoot. If Amunia had not been alert for his performance, this shot would have caused a great threat.
In the first ten minutes, Arsenal basically controlled 80% of the ball, and the rhythm of the offensive was in their hands. Liverpool only got two opportunities to counterattack in defense, but both counterattacks formed shots and had a certain threat, which made Arsenal very uneasy. They found that even if they controlled the ball under their feet, Liverpool could hardly touch the ball, but once Liverpool got a chance to counterattack, they could immediately create murderous intent, which made Arsenal very insecure.
This feeling of walking on thin ice and facing the abyss makes Arsenal players even more crazy in offense. They are now extremely eager to break Liverpool's goal so that they can shrink slightly and not leave too much room for counterattack.
Liverpool's cooperation is very delicate, and the pass and receiving speed is twice as fast as ordinary Premier League teams, which makes Liverpool's defense very difficult. If they do not shrink their defense, not to mention their 30-meter area, the entire Liverpool penalty area is a stage for Arsenal players to revel. Liverpool seems to have only parry but not the power to fight back.
However, Arsenal still cannot completely control the ball at his feet and does not give Liverpool any chance to counterattack. Liverpool plays at his home court, and they are dealing with Arsenal. They are highly focused. Every time the midfielder gets the ball, Liverpool players also go all out to participate in the counterattack. There are only goalkeepers, two central defenders and midfielder Alonso do not step forward, but wait in his half to prevent the opponent from counterattacking.
In the 10th minute of the game, Liverpool got another chance to counterattack. This time, Arsenal's forward Adebayo received the ball and turned around to try to pass Liverpool's midfielder Alonso into the penalty area. However, Liverpool's defender Carragher was very alert. When Adebayo turned around, he quickly stole the foot and stole it. Then Carragher directly passed the ball to the frontcourt to find Liverpool's forward player.
The long passes in the backcourt counterattack Liverpool's typical tactics. The three forwards they sent also had strong ball grabbing ability in the frontcourt. Although Carragher's shocking long pass did not accurately find Chen Yu, Chen Yu was very fast. He quickly got rid of the defensive players, removed the ball as quickly as possible, dribbled the ball along the sideline to the bottom line.
There must be people who are guarding Chen Yu, and Arsenal followed Chen Yu, the fastest midfielder, Ebue, but Chen Yu was extremely quick to react. Ebue failed to keep up for the first time, and the following game became a situation where Chen Badminton took the ball to counterattack, and other Liverpool players quickly followed up to the situation.
This is Liverpool's third counterattack since the start of the game. Unlike the previous one, this time the ball was Liverpool's ace Chen Yu. He was most worried about Arsenal. After Chen Bad got the ball, three players of Arsenal moved closer to the side and tried to surround Chen Yu. The other players also ran desperately towards their own penalty area to prevent Chen Yu from passing the ball without going down. This is something that has to be guarded against. Chen Yu's pass is unpredictable, and no one can guarantee that Chen Yu will pass the ball to the bottom line this time. If he suddenly figured it out and passed the ball on one side of the penalty area, Arsenal will find it difficult to defend.
Chen Badminton ran towards the bottom line at high speed with the ball. He carried the ball, and the speed was even better than some Chinese midfielders. When he left his teammates and opponents behind, Chen Yu looked carefully and found that inside and outside the Arsenal penalty area, Liverpool's two attacking players were a bit too far ahead. One wave had already penetrated into the small penalty area, and the other had just reached the front of the big penalty area. The players in the penalty area were subjected to the strictest defense and assisting defense, while the Liverpool players who entered the second wave were fast and slow, some had completely left the defending players, and some were running to the penalty area but still could not get rid of the pursuit of the defensive players.
Teammates responded very quickly, which was because they had enough confidence in Chen Yu, knowing that Chen Yu would not concede the ball, and knowing that Chen Yu would pass a good ball.
Chen Yu is also a target of being taken care of by his opponents. This time he got a good opportunity to pass the ball. Chen Yu was also very cautious. He observed more than two steps and then saw Alonso, the midfielder.
Alonso has never been too far ahead. This is not because his offensive desire is not strong, but because his defensive task is very heavy, and Alonso's speed is a flaw. This time he personally stepped forward because he was trusting Chen Yu. He knew that Chen Yu would not lose the ball again and would definitely be able to create a shot opportunity, so Alonso followed.
It is also because Alonso has few forwards, so Arsenal has no plan to defend Alonso. Everyone has their own defense and offense, which has almost alone led Alonso to the front of Liverpool's penalty area.
After observing his teammate's running position, Chen Yu made a decisive decision. He passed the ball directly to Alonso more than two meters away, which was behind the first wave of forward players and defenders.
This gave Alonso an advance measure. Alonso is a passer master. When he saw Chen Yu passing the ball like this, he immediately understood Chen Yu's consciousness. This was to let him dribble into Arsenal's penalty area.
Alonso also knew that it was difficult to shoot directly, because there were too many people in front and could not find the space for shooting, so he pulled his chest and went straight to the penalty area.
When Chen Badminton passed the ball, the Arsenal players had already seen it. Galas, who was extremely alert, immediately saw that Chen Yu's pass was passed behind him. He immediately turned around and ran towards the landing point of the forward ball.
Alonso was not fast enough. Although he was very close to the goal, when he stopped the ball with his chest and rushed into the penalty area, Galas had already come over.
Galas was experienced. He saw that he could not intercept Alonso, so he directly hit him and knocked Alonso over the penalty area line.
force!
The referee's whistle rang.
He awarded a free kick and showed Galas a yellow card.
Arsenal goalkeeper Amunia attaches great importance to this free kick. Although this free kick is quite difficult, he also lined up a wall of people with many people, and the gap between the walls is very small, so he will never give Chen Yu a chance to penetrate.
While Arsenal's players were lined up, Chen Yu silently measured ten steps backwards, stood up, and waited for the main whistle to blow.
At this time, the stands at Anfield Stadium seemed to be on the verge of fire again, and tens of thousands of Liverpool fans ejaculated wildly to cheer for Chen Yu.
At this moment, Chen Yu only had the goal in his eyes, and goalkeeper Amunia only had the ball under Chen Yu's feet in his eyes.
force!
The referee's whistle rang.
Chen Yu accelerated to run, swung his legs high, and pulled the ball into the middle of the goal with all his strength.
When Chen Yu shot, the Arsenal player who was lined up with the wall quickly jumped to try to prevent the ball from crossing the wall.
But beyond everyone's expectations, Chen Yu's powerful shot hit a curve ball from the side of the wall!
