Chen Yu passed the ball into the penalty area without interference. The ball was fast and spinning, and was still very close to the goal. Such a pass was extremely threatening, and it depends on whether the player who was grabbing the point could seize the opportunity.

There are indeed many players who grab points, with people at the front, middle and back points, but Arsenal players are very physically good and faster. There are two more players who return to defense than Liverpool. They basically follow Liverpool's front and middle strong points. Under mutual constraints and interference, neither the players who grab points in the front and middle points can touch the ball. No one at the back point has followed Kuyt at the back point, but Kuyt's position is awkward. First, he is far away from the goal, and second, Chen Yu's pass is too close to the goal. If the player at the front and middle points grabs the landing point, the ball will definitely be in, but it is difficult to say that the player at the back point grabs this landing point. The direct attack angle is too small and the distance is a bit far. If the ball is passed in again, the offense will be too cumbersome, and the opponent's defensive players will be prepared more fully.

The time left for Kuyt to think is almost no. As a striker, Kuyt subconsciously chose to head the ball.

Kuyt's heading ability is quite excellent. At such a small angle, he can even reach the goal frame. He is worthy of being a world-renowned striker. Even if Chen Yu, Fanny and others are replaced, he is probably at this level.

Although this header was well-received, it was a bit far away. For a goalkeeper like Amunia, such a header was not too threatening. He didn't even give Liverpool a corner kick, and flew to save and held the ball in his arms.

Such a save was very encouraging to Arsenal's morale. The Gunners fans in the stands applauded Amunia for his dismantling of Liverpool's counterattack.

Although the first half of the game was gone, the Arsenal players did not give up. After Amunia hugged the ball, she got up and wanted to throw the ball to his teammates and launch a counterattack quickly. However, Kuyt had a lot of experience. He blocked Amunia at the first time and did not let him throw the ball out.

Amunia changed direction several times but was unable to throw the ball out, so she had to give up a quick counterattack and threw the ball over when her teammates came to catch the ball.

Kuyt deserves to be a model worker. After preventing Arsenal from counterattacking quickly, he immediately ran back and prepared to assist his teammates in defense.

Kuyt is not the most important player in Liverpool, nor is he the most talented. He is not even as unique as Crouch, but his performance made Liverpool fans at the scene feel awe-inspiring and can't help but applaud him.

With Liverpool's strict defense and defensive defense, Arsenal's last offense failed to break through the goal defended by Reina. Referee Weber blew the whistle to the end of the first half after giving more than a minute of stoppage time. Liverpool temporarily led Arsenal with a 1-0 advantage.

When the game ended, Liverpool received warm welcome from fans. At the exit of the mixing channel, many fans even sprinkled paper scraps and petals on Chen Yu, which shows the fans' admiration for Chen Yu.

Benitez came to the home team's locker room early. He shook hands with Liverpool's main players one by one, praised them for their good first half and helped them relax their muscles with their assistant coach.

After the players took a break for a while, Benitez took out his notebook, pointed out the problems they had in the first half one by one, and told them how to correct them. After some of the talks, Benitez talked about the issues to pay attention to in the second half.

"The first half was generally good, and the 1:0 score also achieved the goal we wanted to achieve. In the second half, we must continue to work hard and continue to score goals. Although we are playing at home, it is still difficult to play against Arsenal. We can't compare to them in the possession of the ball, but this is also good. In this way, we can fight back with peace of mind."

"What we need to pay attention to in the second half is our physical fitness problem. We are on the expedition and the rest time is too short. If the rhythm is pulled up by Arsenal, our physical fitness may not be able to hold on. You must allocate your physical fitness reasonably. If you have the opportunity, you must attack resolutely. Only by scoring more goals can we maintain the final victory."

"Chen Yu can be more flexible in the second half. Chen, you can play in the second half, both forward and midfielder. If you have the chance to score, move forward and assist in defense if you don't have the chance."

——

When Benitez explained the tactics of the second half to Liverpool players, in the visiting team's locker room, Arsenal head coach Wenger was also setting up the tactics of the second half for his players.

"In the first half, we played our own characteristics, with the advantage of possession on our side, and we had more shots, but we lacked some luck. I hope that in the second half, we can change this situation of gaining momentum and not scoring, and equalizing the score as soon as possible. Only in this way can we have the hope of winning this strong dialogue."

"The score was behind in my expectations. Before the game, I always emphasized that our advantage lies in physical fitness. Now I still say that we must speed up the pace, the faster the better, and never give Liverpool a chance to breathe. I don't believe that Liverpool fought a bad battle in Istanbul and made another long-distance flight, but only had two days to rest. I don't believe that they would be better than us."

"What we have to do in the second half is to persevere and not let Liverpool expand the score and drag down Liverpool's physical fitness, so that our chance will come."

In the end, Wenger was as passionate as Mourinho and Ferguson, "The teams that are competing for the championship are still the original four teams, but we are in the best situation with Liverpool. If you cross the Liverpool level, we will be smooth sailing in the future and may even sing all the way. I hope you will play this game as the final. I believe you, kids, come on! If we can win the championship this season, you will create a miracle. This miracle is comparable to Arsenal's unbeaten record that year, because you are younger and not favored by anyone. Believe in yourself. Only by believing in yourself can you create miracles."

It is rare for the professor to give an exciting speech. The young men at Arsenal were a little excited. When they left the locker room to go to the arena, their steps seemed particularly firm and powerful, and they felt like they were about to go to the battlefield.

Arsenal came out of the locker room earlier, and Liverpool fans at the scene were in a state of pain. When they saw Arsenal players coming out, they immediately gave them the booings all over the sky. Many Red Army fans even tampered with their team songs to mock Arsenal, "You will never win the championship! You are the Gunners! You will never win the championship..."

Although the Gunners fans tried their best to cheer and applaud their players and tried to protect their players, the sound they made was just like mosquitoes and flies, which did not have any effect.

Only after Liverpool's players came out did Arsenal's players get free, and Reds fans immediately turned their booing to Arsenal into cheers for Liverpool.

The game started again and Liverpool's players kicked off.

Liverpool still continued the tactics after scoring the first half goal, doing a good job of defense, pressing midfield, compressing space, and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

After Arsenal received instructions from the professor in the locker room, he stepped up his pressing in the game. The forward players pressed Liverpool's defenders like Mad Dogs, and never gave Liverpool some breathing space. This effortless style of playing made Liverpool very uncomfortable. The ball could not pass three times, and the mistakes were nearly doubled compared to the first half. Not to mention that they are playing against defense now, even if they really play against the opponent, they dare not say that they can reach Arsenal's half.

You should know that Arsenal is a giant team of the same level as Liverpool. The players of the giant team are basically stars. The stars pay more attention to their identity. They play like a relegation team, pressing all over the field. In the relegation team, this is bloody, but in the giant team, this is easy to be laughed at, so ordinary giant teams are convinced by their skills. Now that Arsenal is working hard like this, Liverpool is really not adapted to it.

Seeing that Liverpool players were snatched up and made many mistakes, Liverpool's live commentator couldn't help saying: "When technical streams like Arsenal also start to play pressing tactics, this game will be difficult. If technical players are willing to fight, their observation of the overall situation and their judgment of the ball line will make their success rate in pressing higher than that of ordinary players. If Liverpool players can't think of a good way, they may play in pain later."

Benitez also felt a sense of danger, but Benitez's personality has always been a little conservative. When this danger was not too obvious, he did not react. He just communicated with the assistant coach and continued to wait for change.

In the 55th minute of the game, Arsenal once again had a good opportunity to equalize the score.

This is Arsenal's successful steal in the frontcourt. Fabregas forced his way into the penalty area. After being blocked by Liverpool, he passed back to Rosici. Rosici was divided into the side, Ebue passed through the penalty area, Adebayo scored the point in the middle and fell into the penalty area with Carragher. Heleb at the back point shot into the net, but Carragher raised his hand to signal Adebayo to commit a foul while fighting. The referee Weber waved his hand to indicate that the offensive foul was first, and Heleb's goal was invalid.

This made Arsenal players very angry, especially Adebayo, because even if he made an offensive foul, Carragher must have made a defensive foul. Both of them reached out to pull each other when they were fighting for the top, but Carragher's villain complained first, and actually got the sympathy of the referee and sentenced his teammate's goal to invalidate.

"I didn't foul, if I foul, he fouled more than me."

Adebayo protested to referee Weber and even reached out to La Weber.

Weber actually regretted it after the judgment. When Carragher raised his hand to signal Adebayo to commit a foul, he booed the whole stand. He impulsively judged Adebayo to commit a foul, but the dignity of the referee cannot be violated. Even if it is wrong, Weber cannot let the players question it like this. He verbally warned Adebayo with a heavy face, and then let Liverpool play a free kick in the backcourt.

Wenger on the sidelines also jumped anxiously. He pulled the fourth official and yelled, but the fourth official was helpless and could only smile bitterly at Wenger.

Although Liverpool escaped, Benitez's face became serious. He felt danger now. He did not dare to let the three forwards stay on the court. He quickly asked Mascherano to warm up and prepare to replace Vorenin and strengthen the defense.

Since Liverpool just intercepted the ball in the backcourt, Liverpool did not dare to fall in the backcourt when he took the free kick in the backcourt. Goalkeeper Renner kicked the ball into the frontcourt and found his own striker. Although Liverpool was unable to grab this ball under Arsenal's active press, after Arsenal grabbed the ball, he had to go through layers of siege and interception to hit Liverpool's penalty area. This was a success for Liverpool. They are now leading the score, and time is part of the tactics.

In the 60th minute of the game, Mascherano stood on the sidelines to prepare for the field. At this time, Arsenal got another chance.

Rosici, who performed well in this game, made a cross from the wing, and Adebayo finally got the landing point in the penalty area. Under the interference of Carragher, Adebayo still used a powerful header to hit the goal.

Such a header is close and has sufficient strength, which poses great threat to the goalkeeper, but Reina is still in good condition today. He swooped with one hand and touched the ball with his fingertips. The ball deflected slightly and hit the post and bounced out.

When Adebayo headed the ball, many Arsenal people felt that the ball had it. The impatient people stood up and prepared to cheer, but they didn't expect that Reina could save the ball.

However, the alarm was not lifted for Liverpool. After the ball bounced out, it happened to be in front of Fabregas who rushed into the penalty area. Fabregas had no time to adjust, so he pushed it with his feet.

After Renner saved, Fabregas faced an empty goal. Not to mention a subconscious push, he could shoot into the goal even with his eyes closed. However, a skilled person like Fabregas actually hit a big empty goal and flew out against the post.

When Fabregas shot, Liverpool fans were really desperate. They didn't believe that a ball like Fabregas could be flawed. When they saw the ball missed the baseline, Liverpool fans almost cheered in unison, and applause was everywhere, just as Liverpool scored another goal.

Fabregas also hugged his head tightly after the shot, and he himself couldn't believe his eyes.

The commentator on the scene said in surprise and joy: "This can also be flawed. The midfielder is the midfielder. If it is a forward, it will definitely enter."

Arsenal head coach Wenger was so anxious that he jumped straight. He couldn't even grasp such an opportunity, so he couldn't blame others for losing.

Benitez was frightened on the sidelines. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly raised his hand to signal a substitution.
