"Although the score is still 0-0, Arsenal and Liverpool still gave us countless wonderful attacks in the 45 minutes of the first half!" During the intermission, the live broadcast screen switched back to the pp sports live broadcast room.
Zhang Lu answered, "Yes, on the whole, Arsenal has a clear advantage in these 45 minutes both in terms of statistics and appearance. Of course, this situation is also caused by Klopp's holding back and playing."
."
"It has to be said that Arsenal spent 27 million euros to introduce Uruguayan iron midfielder Pereira in this summer window. Now it seems to be worth the money."
"Accurate and ferocious tackles, abundant physical stamina, a positive running attitude that spares no effort, and agile and quick forward penetration. This little iron waist may be the defensive midfielder that the arsenal has been dreaming of in the past ten years!"
"Today this player partnered with Xhaka in the midfield, which obviously made Arsenal's waist stiffer and more upright, without allowing Liverpool to completely take away control of the midfield and take too many advantages."
"Torreira and Xhaka also did a great job defensively, effectively blocking Liverpool's quick counterattacks many times!"
After talking about Arsenal, Zhang Lu changed the topic and said: "Liverpool, on the other hand, is obviously holding back and is probably preparing to make another effort in the second half."
Hearing Zhang Lu's analysis, Zhan Jun nodded in agreement and said: "You can tell by looking at Mo Yang's running. In previous games, Mo Yang almost ran all over the field and often appeared in different positions. But today he
Apart from a few kicks and planned attacks, he basically didn’t run much.”
"The same is true for other Liverpool players. The running distance has dropped significantly!"
Fifteen minutes flew by in the sound of the two people reviewing and explaining the discussion.
On the sidelines, the fourth official directly raised his sign and signaled that No. 7 Milner replaced No. 5 Wijnaldum.
Klopp's substitution shocked many Red Army fans.
Substituting players directly during the half-time break is very rare for Liverpool.
"Oh!" Seeing this substitution, Zhang Lu smiled, "Look at the position of the Liverpool players on the field. Milner came on the field and came to the left half. Then Mo Yang should have been substituted to the right side. This is correct.
."
"Liverpool had problems with its overall defense in the first half, just in the right half!"
"Salah rarely comes back, and Wijnaldum is out of shape and often fails to make up for it in time, leaving Alexander-Arnold to face Aubameyang, Ozil and Kolasinac alone.
High pressure from three people.”
"Although Mo Yang quickly discovered Arnold's predicament, he changed positions from time to time to help, allowing Liverpool to turn the corner on the right."
"But this creates another problem! That is, your side is blocked, but because Wijnaldum is not in good condition today, Henderson's performance is also quite satisfactory, and Mo Yang often fills in the side
His departure has caused the Liverpool midfield to become thinner!"
"So it makes sense for Klopp to make a midfield substitution."
On the field, the referee Clattenberg's whistle sounded like a horn for Liverpool's attack. The formation was uncharacteristically aggressive and pressed forward.
Arsenal, on the other hand, is obviously on guard.
When Liverpool pressed forward, they retreated, switching formations smoothly between 343 and 442, using three dense and tacit defense lines to cut through Liverpool.
Seeing Arsenal's response strategy, Liverpool were not in a hurry to attack and made continuous moves in both halves.
In the 51st minute of the game, after four minutes of possession, the ball was passed from the left wing to the center circle by Robertson, and passed through Van Dijk to the feet of Gomez on the right center circle arc.
Gomez stopped the ball and looked up. Seeing that Arsenal's players did not come up to press him immediately, he suddenly made a long pass to the right.
When the ball landed, Alexander-Arnold, who advanced behind the ball, was parallel to Arsenal's defense. There was no offside, and no one was marking him.
As soon as Arnold unloaded the ball, Kolasinac on the defense came over, Aubameyang also actively retreated from the frontcourt, and Xhaka in the left midfielder position also leaned towards the wing, closing the door in time
Already the gate of Fangzhong Road.
Seeing that Arnold was about to be flanked by Kolasinac and Aubameyang and lose the ball, Mo Yang quickly moved over.
Arnold is very self-aware. He may be able to break through with one person, but with two people he knows that he will most likely lose the ball.
So he suddenly passed the ball forward before Aubameyang got close.
Xhaka saw the ball coming as soon as he reached the position. He thought Arnold had made a mistake and lost his mind, so he passed the ball to him.
But after several seasons of training, Xhaka, who was constantly compared with Mo Yang by the British media, and was called a parallel import, has now adapted to the Premier League game.
When Xhaka suddenly changed direction and rushed towards the ball, he quickly glanced to the right from the corner of his eye.
Seeing a purple figure approaching at high speed, he instantly felt a chill in his heart.
Even though he couldn't see the number, the figure was too familiar to him.
For a long time after joining the Premier League, this figure became his lingering nightmare.
In the blink of an eye, Mo Yang was already level with Xhaka, and the two rushed to the ball side by side.
During the sprint, Xhaka tried to push Mo Yang away with his body, but after a struggle, he was as despairing as ever.
It was hard for Zhaka to imagine where Mo Yang's body, which didn't look strong, came from such brute strength. He hit the opponent with all his strength and didn't move at all. Instead, the collision caused pain to his right arm.
The two of them continued to run for several meters, and when they saw that Mo Yang was about to overtake him, Xhaka reached out with hatred and secretly pulled down the lower edge of Mo Yang's jersey.
Mo Yang, who was already half a body ahead of Xhaka, was caught off guard, his center of gravity was directly unbalanced, and his body began to lean back.
“Shit!
!This is a foul!
"When Beglin saw Xhaka's little move, he became furious and cursed.
But before he could utter a few words, Beglin's scolding stopped abruptly.
On the field, the moment Mo Yang was about to fall backwards, he unceremoniously reached out and grabbed the jersey on Xhaka's waist. He relied on his strong waist and abdominal core and leg strength to use his bent left hand.
Using his legs as support, he leaned back and used his right leg to kick the ball out in front of Xhaka.
“ho!
!
!
!
!”
Seeing Mo Yang's unconventional move, Manchester City immediately went into an uproar at the Emirates Stadium.
One second he was about to fall, but the next second he made a magical move and sent the ball away. How could this not be shocking?
At the same time, the Gunners right center back Mustafi and right back Bellerin both stood at the top of the arc.
Mane was in an offside position in front of the two men.
Seeing that Mane did not run away, Mustafi and Bellerin, whose eyes were attracted by Mo Yang, were a little relaxed.
As a result, Mustafi, who was facing the left half of his side, did not notice that Firmino, who was in his blind spot on the back right side, suddenly started to advance forward the moment Mo Yang released the ball, and went straight to the right side of the penalty area.
Beglin saw it, and he quickly turned back and rushed towards the spot where the ball landed.
But his position and distance are not advantageous, and as he runs, Milner in the left rib area is immediately unmarked and quickly outflanks the back point.
In the penalty area, Arsenal goalkeeper Nuo rushed out of the upper left corner of the penalty area.
But Mo Yang's kick was too bad. It was not a high ball at all, but bounced on Firmino's right front before coming to Firmino.
Seeing Lenno rushing out, a little further away, Firmino almost didn't think about it, jumped slightly, raised his right leg high and used the arch of his foot, and the ball took off again and flew over Lenno's head.
Fans from both sides in the stands were so nervous that they held their breath.
This made the noisy scene seem to quiet down.
"Bang!"
In full view of everyone, Firmino's late shot hit the crossbar.
The sound of metal collision was like a heavy hammer hitting the heart of every fan watching the game, causing countless people's blood pressure to soar.
"call!
"
Just when countless Gunners fans felt a heavy sigh of relief in their chests and abdomens, the iron man Milner, who was outflanking from behind, was in place.
Milner was the first to pass the ball under the ball, jumped in front of Mustafi, and hit the ball firmly with his forehead.
"boom!
!
!
!
!
!”
"Goal!
!
!Goal!
!Goal!
!”
"Goal!
!
!
!
!
"
“Shit!
"
“Fake!
!”
At the moment of the goal, the screams and curses of the Gunners fans, the cheers of the Red Army fans, and the chants of the on-site commentators mixed together and soared into the sky.
