Chapter 1011 Physical fitness determines the game

Arsenal is very dissatisfied with the situation on the field.

Their goal is to win this game and not give Liverpool away goals.

Now, Liverpool has scored away goals, and even Arsenal equalized the score will be a failure.

Wenger could no longer maintain the professor's demeanor. He shouted anxiously at the stadium, and complained to Benitez that the Liverpool players were too big and had too many fouls.

After Chen Yu's goal, Benitez's heart completely calmed down. He ignored Wenger's accusations and stared at the stadium, just like he didn't hear it.

Wenger is not a bit ruffian like Mourinho. Benitez ignored him and he was embarrassed to bother him. He could only spread his anger on the players, stand on the sidelines, and shouted at the players who performed poorly.

Teams of Liverpool and Arsenal are really not a matchup with the coach who can immediately push the opponent over with a few words. Moreover, Wenger's hair dryer's power is much worse than Ferguson. His shouting sounds made the players sprint a few more times, forming two attacks, and then the game returned to the situation of fighting the midfield again. This is also a normal manifestation of the strength of both sides. It was just a special situation before Liverpool was pressed near his own penalty area.

Wenger yelled on the sidelines for a while and found that it had little impact on the game. She was disappointed, shook her head, turned around and returned to the coach's seat, and silently paid attention to the development of the game with his hand.

The basis of all professional competitions is physical fitness. Without physical fitness, no matter how exquisite the skills, how tacit cooperation, or how perfect the tactics are, they are all gone.

Liverpool had a fierce battle with Arsenal three days ago. There were 11 Liverpool players who played in that game today. Today, they played more intensely with Arsenal today than they were three days ago. After fifteen minutes in the second half, Liverpool players' enthusiasm for running decreased significantly. If they ran less, they would have fewer points to respond, fewer points to respond, more times when they were back passes and kicked big feet, and more times when they were back passes and kicked big feet, and the attack was basically half of them.

Although Arsenal players are the youngest in the average age of the Premier League, they have no academic qualifications and are the first to be successful. There is no weak player who can gain a foothold in Arsenal. He has a strong ability to read games and soon discovered that there is something wrong with Liverpool's physical fitness.

Arsenal gave up the league just for this Champions League. They were well prepared in this game, both physically, tactical and mentally. They thought they could beat Liverpool in the game, but they didn't expect that they only had a little advantage in the field and fell behind in the score.

Arsenal had already played a little bit confident, but suddenly found that Liverpool seemed to be inadequate in physical fitness. They immediately became excited. At this time, there was no need for coaches and captains to give instructions. Everyone knew what to do at this time, that was, not to give the opponent a chance to breathe, speed up the pace of the game, drag down the opponent at the fastest speed, and prevent them from dragging them until the end of the game.

The players saw it, of course Wenger saw it clearly than the players. He was ecstatic and knew that the set he set in the league had finally worked. Liverpool's physical fitness was finally not enough as expected. At this time, even Wenger, who was very average on-the-spot command, knew that it was time for the next dose of the strong medicine. If Liverpool was let go, Arsenal would definitely miss the semi-finals.

Wenger turned around, called Van Persie and Walcott, and said, "You guys go warm up and prepare to play!"

Wenger said it lightly, but it was like thunder in Van Persie and Walcott's ears. They had been looking forward to performing on such a stage for a long time, and now the opportunity has finally come.

As soon as Van Persie and Walcott took off their coats, they jumped out of the bench and ran to the stadium to warm up.

Almost five minutes later, Arsenal made a substitution adjustment, with two strikers, one was General Van Persie and Van Van of the Netherlands, and the other was Walcott, known as the Little Tiger.

Walcott is 19 years old and was born in Compton Village in Beckhill Country. When he was in elementary school, the little tiger showed amazing sports talent. At the Beckhill Regional Sports Games, he ran 11.5 seconds a hundred meters, breaking the county sports game record.

Walcott was the first to play football in Svendon's under-11 team, and later joined Southampton, his first club in his life. In an August 2005 game against Wolves, Walcott, who was only 16 years and 143 days, was sent to the court. In October, he made his first start against Leeds and scored his first goal for Southampton. That year, he was named the top three sports rookies of the year by the BBC.

In January 2006, Arsenal Football Club spent £5 million to buy Walcott from Southampton, which could rise to 12 million based on the number of appearances. By February 2006, Walcott had been included in Arsenal's Champions League roster and took the bench with Real Madrid.

On February 25, 2007, in the final of the English League Cup, Wenger sent a lineup mainly with young players to fight against all the main players of Chelsea. Walcott took the lead for the Gunners in the 12th minute of the game and scored his first goal in Arsenal.

Such young people are definitely geniuses. For geniuses, age is definitely not important, otherwise Wenger would not have been able to send Walcott to serve as the surprises in the Champions League quarter-finals and Liverpool.

Walcott was fast, and Wenger sent him on the court to raise the rhythm and drag down Liverpool's players.

In addition to Walcott, Wenger also sent Dutch striker Van Persie.

Van Persie is five years older than Walcott, but he is not more mature than Walcott in his heart. He is a typical genius bad boy.

But on the court, Van Persie is definitely a genius. He has excellent running position, superb shooting skills and passing skills, and can often score incredible goals. Today, Arsenal met a super strong opponent, so Wenger sent Van Persie, who had just recovered from injury.

Walcott and Van Persie's appearance had a great impact on the game, especially at this critical moment.

Arsenal players immediately understood the coach's purpose when Walcott and Van Persie played, and this was the rhythm of attacking with all their might.

Sure enough, after Walcott and Van Persie came on the court, they ran wildly, pressing Liverpool players, and even the goalkeepers pressed. The two of them were like a catfish, which mobilized the emotions of other Arsenal players. They followed Walcott and Van Persie to compete for Liverpool players, forcibly increasing the rhythm of the game from the board to the fast-paced.

Originally, Liverpool's physical fitness was not enough. When they encountered such crazy pressing, they were unable to resist and could only retreat step by step and give the control of the midfield that they had originally snatched back to the Gunners again.

Losing control of the midfield, Liverpool is in extreme passiveness. Apart from counterattacks, they cannot actively choose the offensive method, while Arsenal can attack Liverpool in the way they like.

Now for Liverpool, the only hope is time. The game has reached 70 minutes now. As long as they resist for another 20 minutes, the victory will belong to Liverpool.

It turns out that Liverpool still thinks about difficulties too easily. Under Arsenal's attack, Liverpool spent his days like years and scored like months. He felt that he had defended Arsenal several attacks in a row. Is the game time the game should be over? Looking up at the time of the electronic scoreboard, I found that two minutes had just passed, and that feeling was really **********.

The Liverpool fans in the stands saw that the players were in a very difficult and dangerous situation. They wanted to help the players and stood up and sang the team song "You will never walk alone", but this is Arsenal's home court. Arsenal fans who were prepared for it will not let Liverpool fans take the lead. They also stood up and fought against the Liverpool fans with the same loud singing.

Both teams have loud voices and are singing very neatly, just like a chorus, but the number of people plays a decisive role here.

There are more than 40,000 Arsenal fans, while Liverpool fans can barely have enough 10,000. This is not the same order of magnitude. Both sides make sounds at the same time, but in the end, the players can hear only the voices of Arsenal fans.

Under Arsenal's persistent attack, Liverpool's goal finally fell in the 84th minute.

This was a free kick, Fabregas drove into the penalty area. Goalkeeper Reina was frightened by his teammate's missed several times before. He didn't dare to stay in the goal anymore. He looked at the ball and felt that he could get it, so he rushed out.

Halfway through, Reina immediately realized that it was difficult to get it, but he had already gone out, and returning halfway was a taboo. Reina gritted her teeth and rushed out to hit the ball with her two fists.

Reiner finally slowed down half a step, and the ball flew from his hand to the back point.

Renner was so scared that his mind was blank. He almost subconsciously landed and ran to the far corner to prevent the Arsenal players from rushing to attack.

Ebue at the back point still grabbed the landing point first, and he headed the ball to the near corner of the goal.

At such a close distance, even a player like Ebue who has a bad header is within the goal range.

However, Ebue had no chance to score today. When the free kick was just handed over, Liverpool's full-back Finnan, who was standing on the wall, did not leave. He stood in the far corner and blocked Ebue's attack with his body.

The ball flew out of the penalty area, but Liverpool players did not dare to breathe a sigh of relief. The midfield was controlled by the opponent, and the second wave of attack would be launched at any time. Their nerves must always be tense.

A player appeared at the landing point of the clearing ball, which was Van Persie. Liverpool players didn't have time to think about why the Arsenal striker would appear in the front of the penalty area at this time, because Van Persie himself volleyed.

There are many people in the penalty area, and most of them are volleys that need to be drawn to people, but Van Persie is a genius. He did not volley with his instep, but instead used the outside of his foot to lift the ball downwards.

The ball drew a beautiful parabola and bypassed the crowd in the penalty area and flew accurately to the back corner of the goal.

The Liverpool players in the penalty area tried their best to jump up, but no one touched the ball. Goalkeeper Reiner ran from the front corner to the back corner with all his strength. When he arrived, the ball was already playing in the net.
