On the field, Mo Yang was also silently observing the Gunners, who were evaluated by major media as recovering after the coaching change.
Mo Yang didn't care much about what the media said.
Because Arsenal has been on the road of reform over the years, but every time it makes a slight improvement and achieves excellent results, it will immediately face various inexplicable collapses, as if it is cursed.
After observing for nearly ten minutes, Mo Yang found that Arsenal's attitude towards attacking at home was very determined. They mainly focused on their left wing, which is Arnold's side, and constantly used side tricks and tactics to penetrate the side ribs.
This seemingly simple tactical coordination has often worked.
Arnold and Gomez are often involved in one thing and not the other, resulting in the distance between each other being too large and unable to form a layered protection in the defense zone.
After Mo Yang discovered this, he directly changed positions with Wijnaldum in the right half.
In the 11th minute of the game, Arsenal once again used a side tactic to silently widen the distance between Alexander-Arnold and Gomez.
Aubameyang in front of the left rib area passed the ball, turned around and drilled directly into the rib area.
At this moment, Kolasinac, who had completed the breakthrough from the wing, also pushed the ball in front of Aubameyang in time.
After Gomez discovered it and turned around, he was already several beats behind Aubameyang. Although he failed to follow, this time Mo Yang filled the gap for him.
In a flash of lightning, Mo Yang came from behind. The moment Aubameyang stopped the ball, he decisively fell to the ground and slid the ball out of the baseline.
This scene caused the Gunners fans to let out a collective cry of annoyance.
On the sidelines, Arsenal coach Emery was no longer smiling. He was staring at Mo Yang in the penalty area, with a trace of surprise lingering in his eyes.
At the same time, Aubameyang in the penalty area also frowned and looked at Mo Yang.
When Kolasinac passed the ball just now, his original intention was to stop the ball and then use his left foot to push it to his right foot, turn around and hit the goal.
Unexpectedly, Mo Yang seemed to have seen through his intention in advance, and actually aimed at his right foot and shoveled the ball away.
If you hadn't seen it through in advance, this kind of sliding shovel would be completely unexplainable.
As time goes by, the game situation slowly changes.
Starting from the 15th minute, under Liverpool's unrelenting high pressure, Arsenal's insistence on short ball from the backcourt at the beginning had to be turned into a high ball and delivered to the frontcourt.
"Emery's thinking in this game is very clear. He concentrated his forces to attack from the left, and his routine is also very clear. First, Ozil moved closer to the left, and Kolasinac boldly stepped in, coupled with Aubameyang's speed. , he can frequently attack Alexander-Arnold's defense."
"Unai Emery's tactics can not only take advantage of Arsenal's own offensive advantages, but also limit Salah's performance on this side."
After Zhang Lu finished speaking, Zhan Jun nodded and said with a smile: "Emery can be said to have killed two birds with one stone. So far, he has not found a good offensive opportunity. This has a lot to do with Arnold not daring to come forward due to the continuous impact."
On the sidelines, seeing that the team had not been able to score a goal, Klopp could not sit still.
After Emery took over Arsenal this season, he also brought extremely obvious changes to Arsenal.
Through Arsenal's thirteen games this season, Klopp can clearly see that Arsenal, led by Emery, has retained Wenger's quicksilver passing and cutting coordination, and has often produced exquisite attacks this season.
But compared to Arsenal in the Arsene Wenger era, the current Gunners have a stronger sense of forward movement and are advancing faster. A little carelessness will be fatal.
This can also be seen from Arsenal's current team data. They are the team with the most sprints and the highest distance in the Premier League.
Just when Klopp was worried, Arsenal suddenly launched a wave of attacks on the field.
In the 19th minute of the game, Arsenal once again formed a wolf pack tactic in the midfield and frontcourt. This time, the speed was so fast that Mo Yang had no time to come back.
In the left half, Van Dijk crossed the ball to Wijnaldum who continued to retreat in the right center.
As soon as the ball was passed, Arsenal suddenly pounced on it like a pack of wolves.
Seeing Ozil approaching, Wijnaldum was too lazy to fight with this guy, so he quickly spiked the ball back to Alisson in the penalty area.
Alisson stopped the ball and saw that Arsenal did not continue to press into the penalty area, so he suddenly swept the ball towards Robertson on the left side of the penalty area with a big kick.
Arsenal's side is still doing the same thing. As soon as Robertson stopped the ball and turned around, Mkhitaryan rushed forward to press, trying to squeeze the time and space for Robertson to play the ball forward.
In order to avoid making the same mistake as Arnold, Robertson, who has always been vigilant, immediately drove the ball to the wing and looked for Mane.
Although Arsenal's frontcourt pressure was broken, the accuracy of the pass was subpar, the force was too weak, and the landing point was on the center line.
Torreira was right in front of Mane who was retreating to receive the ball. He rushed to the landing point first and fell down directly to rub the ball forward. He was right in front of Bellerin who started running laterally from the wing to the center.
, this ball was passed quite beautifully.
Mo Yang, who was also on the wing, saw it and immediately followed him horizontally.
But Bellerin, who has played against Liverpool many times, obviously knows how difficult Mo Yang is. He didn't dare to stop the ball. He rushed to the ball and rubbed the ball again towards Xhaka who was standing in the center circle in front of him.
Mo Yang lost speed after making a splash, and continued to press forward, trying to trap Xhaka with Henderson, who was protecting the center.
But before Mo Yang and Henderson could implement a tacit defense, the ball turned diagonally towards Xhaka, who was in the left half of his own side, and suddenly sent a through ball.
Suddenly the ball went straight to the left rib area and Liverpool's right rib area.
At the same time, Aubameyang and Ozil on the left side of the frontcourt ran towards the ribs at the same time.
Arnold and Gomez were not slow to react and quickly closed the distance between them.
But the change happened suddenly at the moment of catching the ball.
In the area in front of the ribs, Ozil slowed down first and stopped on the path of the ball, while Aubameyang continued to insert into the ribs.
The two men moved out of position, and Arnold couldn't tell who the ball was going to.
Just as Alexander-Arnold hesitated, the ball slipped past Ozil's crotch and quickly rolled to Aubameyang's feet.
Aubameyang took the lead with his right foot and went directly into Liverpool's penalty area.
As soon as he crossed the end line of the penalty area and saw Gomez approaching, Aubameyang was very decisive and directly kicked the ball into the far corner.
Gomez stretched out his thigh and leg to block the ball, but the ball rolled past his heels against the turf.
On the end line of the small penalty area in front of the goal post, Alisson quickly got down to the ground and dived sideways. With a flick of his fingertips, the ball deviated from its original path, allowing Robertson, who came back in time from behind, to make a timely clearance.
Seeing Arsenal's attack, Klopp and the Red Army fans who came to the scene were so frightened that their hearts seemed to have stopped for several seconds.
But before the heart hanging in the throat could fall back into the stomach, Arsenal, with the added momentum of the home court, came again, one wave after another.
In the 22nd minute of the game, Arsenal attacked from the left and suddenly slowed down in front of Liverpool's penalty area. Everyone thought that Arsenal was trying to penetrate Liverpool's defense with continuous passing and cutting.
Liverpool thought so too. Aubameyang spiked the ball, turned around, and suddenly lobbed the ball toward the center of the penalty area.
At the moment of passing the ball, Mkhitaryan at the top of the arc also rushed towards the penalty spot at the same time.
Van Dyke was also caught off guard and quickly retreated without turning around.
Fortunately, Alisson was focused enough and walked out of the door, jumped up and knocked the ball away with his fist.
These successive offensives made the home atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium even more heated, and the cheers of the Gunners fans created a wave of heat.
Because during this period of time, they could be said to have suppressed Liverpool, who were playing away games, and never gave Liverpool a chance to hit them behind.
Mo Yang also frequently appeared in the director's shots, receiving silent criticism from the on-site director, because he was a little quiet during this period.
Seeing Mo Yang appear, Zhang Lu smiled and said: "Liverpool has obviously been holding back during this period. Now it seems that Klopp obviously wants to exert more force in the second half..."
“It’s an away game and the main players have just recovered from injuries, so that’s understandable!”
