The lagging Liverpool's offensive became more fierce, and they fired continuously from the outside in the hope of scoring.
Gerrard and Coutinho's long-range shots were still very important. Arsenal did not dare to be careless and compressed the defense line backwards to strengthen the protection of the front edge of the penalty area.
This gave Liverpool the illusion that Arsenal was timid, so they became increasingly lawless in attack.
Wenger on the sidelines was not surprised but delighted.
Ouch, very brave.
Keep going...
Then Liverpool drifted away, even the midfielder pressed forward without realizing it.
You know, they are playing three defenders. If they want to rely on three people to defeat Lin Yun and Giroud, they have to rely on luck.
This is what Modric was waiting for. After guarding against Sissoko's breakthrough, he suddenly passed the ball to the right side of Liverpool's penalty area with a long pass.
Lin Yun didn't know when he had pulled away, facing the penalty area and easily stopped the ball.
Sakho and Skrtel quickly joined forces to stand between him and the penalty area, and at the same time called on their teammates to return to defense.
In the blink of an eye, a good war of aggression turned into a war to defend the capital...
Lin Yun did not dare to waste time, he saw Giroud's position and decisively tipped his toe, passing the ball directly between Sakho and Skrtel.
Giroud was overjoyed and immediately rushed towards the spot where the football landed, leaping out and preparing to reach the top.
Seeing that Kolo Toure could no longer stop Giroud from hitting the goal, he had no choice but to fly out with him. However, it was not the ball but the person, and he directly knocked Giroud aside.
The football fell in front of the goal, and Mignolet rushed out to confiscate the ball. Just as he was about to kick the ball out, the referee's whistle sounded.
"Penalty kick! Kolo Toure knocked down Giroud in the penalty area and Arsenal got a penalty kick!"
Giroud stood up with his hands on the ground, clenched his fists and cheered.
Kolo Toure and Mignolet ran to the referee and kept begging for mercy, but the referee was unmoved.
The home fans immediately gave the referee and Giroud a warm ovation.
Lin Yun came over, and Giroud immediately stepped forward and gave him a high-five.
The first penalty taker Arteta was unable to play due to suspension. This ball should be played by Giroud in order.
"Look at the replay, Kolo Toure used a flying interception to knock Giroud aside as he was about to head the ball. The referee's decision was fine and even merciful. Otherwise, Liverpool could have been given a red dot package... …”
Rogers was furious but could do nothing about it. He was already thankful to God that Kolo Toure was not sent off with a red card. Now he can only pray that Mignolet can perform well and save this ball, otherwise it will be difficult to beat after falling two goals behind. .
Both sides gathered in front of Liverpool's penalty area.
The pressure came to Giroud and Mignolet. One of them looked down at the football, and the other stood in front of the goal and stared at each other closely, as if they were already engaged in a silent contest in advance.
The referee was about to blow the whistle, but suddenly frowned and pointed at Gerrard, indicating that he had stepped on the line.
Gerrard angrily retracted his right foot that had entered the penalty area.
The referee then blew his whistle.
"Beep!"
Giroud, who had been keeping his head down, then raised his head, looked at the upper left corner of the goal, then quickly took a run and kicked the ball to the lower right corner of the goal.
Mignolet was not fooled and immediately pounced towards the right side of the goal.
With a "duang" sound, the football was not hit by the goalkeeper, but was blocked by the goal post.
Cazorla and Sissoko rushed towards the football together, and Mignolet also flew towards the football at the same time.
"... Giroud hit the goal post, Cazorla made a tackle and shot! Oops, it was blocked by the goalkeeper, corner kick!"
"Girou!" Zhan Jun said with a tone of hatred, "It can be seen that he is very calm and deliberately pushed into a blind corner. Unfortunately, he pursued the angle too much. The crossbar and goalposts of the Emirates Stadium were fair today. Blocked Gerrard's long-range shot, and the other blocked Giroud's penalty..."
Liverpudlians cheered, and bursts of cheers came from the visiting team's stands.
Giroud sighed in annoyance and kicked the turf unhappily.
Cazorla patted his thigh unwillingly before walking towards the corner flag area.
Lin Yun patted Giroud on the shoulder, then pushed his back hard, telling him to move to the front of the goal, while he stood at the back.
Skrtel and Sacco became entangled again.
Cazorla observed carefully and passed the ball to the center of the penalty area.
Mertesacker and Gerrard jumped high and hit the football at the same time, but neither hit the right spot. The football flew high again and fell to the left side of the small penalty area.
Lin Yun immediately rushed over with his two little tails. He had no time to adjust. After jumping up, he could only try his best to push the ball towards the goal.
As soon as he hit the ball, Sakho and Skrtel leaped over in no particular order and bumped into him. The three of them rolled into a ball.
Lin Yungang pushed the two big men away from him, and the next second he heard overwhelming cheers.
He thought he had headed the ball in, but when he looked up, he saw Giroud rushing to the sideline, and his teammates rushed behind him.
Modric did not go over to join in the fun this time. Instead, he stretched out his hand to pull Lin Yun up and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be quite good at assisting."
"...You wouldn't believe it, but I actually wanted to shoot."
"If that's the case, then I suggest you practice heading the ball more," Modric said. "As an assist, the ball just now was impeccable, but as a shot, it was simply inferior."
"GOAL!!! Lin headed the ball, and Giroud finally didn't waste any more opportunities this time. A clean header helped Arsenal expand the score!"
Zhan Jun accidentally revealed a bit of his Red Army fan base, "Although there were twists and turns, the ball still went in. Giroud made up for it and turned Lin Yun's pass into an assist. Liverpool fell behind by two goals in the away game. Hope Hurry up and awaken their reversal genes to bring the suspense of the game back again."
"Damn it, did Giroud introduce his sister to Lin Yun? Lin Yun must help him score goals?"
"This cake is already in your mouth. If you can spit it out, you can beat it to death and throw it on the street."
Jirou looked around and realized that Lin Yun was not following him, so he quickly ran towards him.
Lin Yun, who was chatting with Modric, quickly opened his arms and caught the Frenchman who flew towards him.
"Quick question, quick answer, tell the truth," Giroud shouted in his ear, "Did you hate me when I missed the penalty?"
"It's true that I'm a little disappointed, but I'm not angry at all." Lin Yun threw him off, "But if you missed the ball just now, then I would really kick your head off."
Modric looked at him with disdain.
Of course Giroud didn't know what was going on inside, and he laughed loudly and said: "Don't worry, I can score such a comfortable pass with my hair."
How fun they are here is how heavy they are on the other side.
Rogers called Sissoko and Gerrard to the sidelines and gave him various advice, but both of them felt it was nonsense after listening for a long time.
Strengthen offense, pay attention to organization, and cannot ignore defense...
If you don’t say this, is it the same as if you didn’t say it?
On the other side, Wenger was much more comfortable. He had already sat back on the coaching bench leisurely, looking towards the court with a smile like a spectator.
After the game started again, Liverpool was somewhat at a loss. However, inspired by Gerrard, the players quickly cheered up and continued to strengthen their offensive. However, they did not dare to be so presumptuous this time. Not only did the three defenders stay firmly in the back Watching the game, Flanagan and Lucas did not dare to cross the center line easily, and there were people around Modric coming forward to harass him at any time.
Arsenal is not simply passively defensive, but their style of play is somewhat wretched.
They have the ability to be tough with others, but they also like to play tricks. Liverpool were so disgusted that they saw that the first half was about to end, so they simply started to show off. It was rare that everyone had a tacit understanding and spent the last bit of time. Walked into the locker room with a 2-0 score.
Wenger couldn't hide his excitement, but he didn't get carried away yet.
For Arsenal, fighting for the title in the first half of the league and fourth place in the second half are fundamentals. Winning this game is nothing. Even winning the championship in the middle is nothing to celebrate. Being able to survive until the end is the most important thing. of.
The second half of the game started with laughter from the Arsenal people.
I don’t know what kind of chicken soup he poured into his mouth during the halftime break. The eyes of Liverpool’s players seemed to be red, and murderous intent was pouring out of their heads.
In the visiting team's stands, the KOP's songs continued to sing.
"...
Hold your head high,
Don't be afraid of the dark night sky,
After the storm is over,
It will be a brilliant sky.
The skylark will show its sweet voice,
Through the strong wind,
Through the rainstorm,
Let your dreams be shaken and ridiculed..."
This is not the first time Lin Yun has heard "Never Walk Alone", but the feeling of listening to it as a spectator in the stands is completely different from that of listening to it as an opponent on the court.
At a certain moment, he even felt that he had become the villain in the movie, a big devil who pushed the iron-blooded Red Army into a desperate situation.
According to normal development, the next step should be Liverpool's desperate counterattack and turn defeat into victory?
This made him feel quite unhappy. Before the game started, he came directly to the sidelines and kept raising his hands in front of his own fans.
Arsenal fans immediately woke up.
What the hell, this is our home court! Are you sure you want to compete with us? !
You're the only one with a team song, right?
Soon, Arsenal's team anthem also came from all directions, steadily drowning out the voices of Liverpool fans.
Arsenal actually does not have a formal official team anthem, but after winning the double championship in the 1998-1999 season, the London band Embrace re-wrote the lyrics of "Hot Stuff" sung by Donna Sharman and creatively added the names of the players. Incorporated into the song, it has become one of the most famous Gunners anthems.
Winning the Double in the 1998-1999 season was the Gunners' first great season, and Arsenal, which won the Champions League, undoubtedly ushered in another peak, so the fans changed the names in the lyrics and turned them into the new team. Song.
"Starting a new season,
Nothing can stop us,
Lin Yun Lin Yun Lin Yun is everything!
Let us enter the wonderland brought by Wilshere,
Walcott is the light shining in our hearts!
The Gunners make Arsenal a joy to watch;
Now let Arsenal teach them how to behave..."
Modric listened for a long time, but didn't even hear his own name. He silently gave a bad review, and then set himself the first small goal of the season: to kick himself into Arsenal's team anthem!
Lin Yun then walked towards the midfield with satisfaction, waiting for the game to start.
Never walk alone? Then the group will be destroyed...
He didn't notice that all his teammates looked at him differently.
Team captain Vermaelen is gradually losing Wenger's trust. In this game, Koscielny was pushed to the bench. Vice-captain Arteta sat in the stands due to suspension. Today Arsenal's captain is Mertesacker, but now everyone always feels that Lin Yun is the real leader.
"Arsenal's home momentum is getting louder! This puts a lot of pressure on the players on the field.
The score was already behind, but now the momentum has fallen behind again. Liverpool is in a very difficult situation. "
Rogers made adjustments at the beginning of the second half, replacing Sissoko with Henderson and playing as a three forward.
They seemed to be really affected by the home atmosphere of the Emirates Stadium and felt a little unable to let go, but as the game progressed, the state slowly returned.
Suarez took the lead in breaking out.
The Uruguayan deftly got rid of Sagna's entanglement, then teased Koscielny through the crotch, and fired a low shot from a tricky angle near the small penalty area.
Szczesny had already given up the save, but he didn't expect the football to slide past the goal, grazing the post and rolling out of the bottom line.
"Suarez passed two people and pushed the ball into the blind corner! Unfortunately, it was just a little bit close! Liverpool missed the ball again!"
Su Ya shook his head dejectedly, turned around and walked out of the penalty area. Sturridge on the other side spread his hands in dissatisfaction, saying that if the ball was passed to him, he would definitely have it.
The frightened Szczesny took the goal kick. Rosicky got the ball and gave it to Cazorla. Cazorla and Modric played one-on-one and brought the ball to the ribs of the penalty area.
Giroud continued to move forward and reached the goal, while Lin Yun retreated and quickly ran over to meet Cazorla.
Cazorla's attempt to overpower Flanagan failed, so he could only pass the ball to Lin Yun with a low pass.
Lin Yun had Skrtel on his back and Lucas on his side. It was difficult to handle the ball after he got it, but he seemed to have opened his eyes. After the football came to his feet, he quickly knocked it diagonally.
The football immediately came to the penalty area about half a meter away from the goal.
Modric quickly stepped in and shot the football with the same style as Su Ya.
This kick was not very powerful, but it was quite hidden. It ran directly towards the lower left corner of the goal. Unfortunately, it was blocked by Sakho, who was very focused.
The football deflected and rolled toward the center of the goal.
Giroud immediately rushed forward, preparing for a follow-up shot, but Mignolet was one step faster, leaving the goal and making a big kick.
"Modric and Cazorla played a one-two. Cazorla passed the ball to Lin Yun, and Lin Yun then gave Modric... a shot! Unfortunately, it hit the defender, and the goalkeeper made a big clearance. Germany got the football and moved quickly along the center. Rosicky made a timely tackle and the football came to Arsenal's feet again..."
Modric seemed to have endless energy. He just finished shooting in the penalty area and immediately ran back to the midfield to receive Rosicky's pass.
Lin Yun also ran out and cooperated with him by hitting the wall.
Magic Flute once again came to the same position where he had just shot, and once again raised his foot.
This time he didn't plan to make another push into the blind corner, but prepared to violently volley. Unfortunately, Gerrard did not give him this opportunity.
The captain of the Red Army chased him all the way behind, and finally got to Magic Flute's side before he shot. He stretched out his foot to block the ball and poked it out.
Kolo Toure got the ball and immediately ran along the wing.
This is also a veteran of the Gunners, and was even one of the most reliable defenders under Wenger. However, he received an invitation from the ambitious Manchester City 4 years ago, and eventually switched to Blue Moon at a high price. After going round and round, he returned again this season. Came to Liverpool.
The fans had nothing good to say about this kind of guy and immediately booed him.
Lin Yun immediately rushed over to intercept him, and during the entanglement he was knocked out of the boundary.
The whistle sounded and the referee ruled that Lin Yun had committed a collision foul. Liverpool got a free kick near midfield.
Kolo Toure jumped up and pushed Lin Yun hard with dissatisfaction.
Of course, Lin Yun would not tolerate him and pushed back forcefully.
The referee quickly intervened between the two men and warned: "Calm down, don't force me to play."
Lin Yundao: "Tell him this."
Kolo Toure also said: "He hit me..."
The referee said impatiently: "I saw it, so I called a foul. Do you have any questions?"
Kolo Toure muttered dissatisfiedly, "At least a yellow card..."
"I think he fell," Lin Yun also complained, "because he fell down before I even exerted any force. It was definitely staged."
"I don't!"
"Oh, does that mean you are a weakling?"
"you…"
The referee shook his head and pushed Lin Yun away, "Okay, okay, have a good game."
Gerrard came to the scene and saw that the situation was under control. He quickly took the free kick without saying anything.
Coutinho got the ball, but the attack failed to take off, and Arsenal quickly took control of the game again.
Rosicky and Modric, the two "field Mozarts", completed a cooperation that almost ran through the entire game. Rosicky passed the ball in the penalty area. Modric jumped up slightly in the Liverpool penalty area and directly passed the ball to Lin with his outside instep. cloud.
Lin Yun padded the ball with his thigh, then picked the ball up with his instep, and then picked the ball back in front of him.
Modric quickly moved forward, volleyed the ball without stopping, and kicked the ball into the upper right corner of the goal.
"GOAL!!! Lin Yun assisted and scored twice, Modric volleyed, and the Demon Emperor showed his power again. Arsenal leads 3-0!"
Modric jumped directly to Lin Yun, "Let me tell you, you are quite good at assisting, right?"
"Yes, maybe one day I will be the same as Henry and win the top scorer and the top assists at the same time."
"That's not easy..."
Time passed by and it soon came to the 70th minute of the game.
Wenger looked at his watch and replaced Lin Yun.
"Wenger replaced Lin Yun with Podolski. After all, he has just returned from injury, and he will go to Germany to participate in the Champions League group match against Borussia Dortmund in four days. It is really not appropriate to be too tired..."
Lin Yun was replaced in the 70th minute, and Modric was replaced in the 80th minute. Arsenal's offensive intensity immediately dropped visibly, but Liverpool still failed to break through Szczesny's five-finger barrier, and the game ended with 3-0.
"The game is over. With the goals of Lin Yun, Giroud and Modric, Arsenal defeated Liverpool 3-0 at home, winning 9 of 10 games and drawing 1, and continued to dominate the standings with an unbeaten record.
Liverpool has 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, and the gap with Arsenal has reached 8 points, continuing to rank third in the standings. "
"Lin Yun's number of league goals has increased to 10, and he continues to top the scorer list."
Lin Yun walked towards Suarez and took the initiative to exchange jerseys with him.
Gerald also came over and shook hands with him.
As a teammate of the national team, of course he would be happier if Lin Yun was more awesome, but as a league opponent, he was worried about Arsenal having such a powerful weapon, and he felt very conflicted. However, in an interview after the game, he still praised it highly. Lin Yun's performance.
"There is no doubt that he is the kind of player who can decide the trend of the game, and the most important thing is that he has been very consistent and can score goals almost every time he appears on the field, of course, the premise is that he must stay healthy."
Suarez also did not hesitate to praise, "Lin is one of the best goal-scoring forwards in today's football. It is very interesting to compete with him. I think for a long time from now on, the first thing I do when I wake up every morning should be Let’s go look at the scorer list…”
Regarding Su Ya's challenge, Lin Yun naturally accepted it happily, "Liverpool has a tradition of producing super strikers. Robbie Fowler, Michael Owen, Fernando Torres, etc. are all very outstanding super forwards. Obviously , Sturridge and Suarez have taken over this great legacy. Of course Arsenal is not weak either. Henry and Robin van Persie have both won the top scorer. Now it’s me and Giroud, we have shown so far A good performance, and I certainly hope that the top scorer this season is between me and him."
Four forwards from the two teams occupy the top three scorers: Lin Yun ranks first with 10 goals, Sturridge is second with 8 goals, and Giroud and Suarez are tied for third with 6 goals.
This makes people have a premonition, as if this season's Premier League championship is not produced by these two teams, it is a bit unreasonable. However, considering the dark history of the Gunners and the Red Army falling apart at critical moments in the league, everyone feels that My premonition is somewhat unreliable...
While Arsenal defeated Liverpool in the highlight match, Chelsea unexpectedly lost to Newcastle in an away game, with the score also being 2-0.
In this way, Arsenal opened an 8-point gap between Liverpool and Chelsea at the same time, temporarily occupying the greatest initiative in the championship competition.

Every time I publish a chapter like this with 5,000 or 6,000 words, the follow-up is very poor. Is it because it is too expensive?
