"Liverpool!! Liverpool!! Beautiful!! Suarez's ghostly pass and goal!! He helped Liverpool equalize the score!!"
"So beautiful!! Liverpool conceded a goal in the first fifteen minutes, but two minutes later, they equalized!! Goal from Suarez!! Oh wow. His operation at the front of the penalty area is simply amazing. Dazzled!"
the TV commentators were chanting.
Liverpool's commentator was even more excited.
He stood up in the commentary box, holding the headset, the blood vessels in his neck bulged, his face flushed, and shouted in a thick Liverpool accent: "Well done! Well done!! We are Liverpool!! We are Liverpool!! We will never admit defeat!"
"In the seventeenth minute of the first half, Liverpool relied on Suarez's goal to equalize the score! In the case of almost complete passivity in the away game, Liverpool fought back sharply!!! This is Suarez's sixteenth league game this season Goal! He is nine goals behind Yello! But he has caught up with Van Persie! He is tied with Van Persie for second in the league's scorer list!"
"This goal fully demonstrated Suarez's ability. He ran in the middle and pressed forward first. Then he suddenly retreated to catch the ball. He faked a shot and passed it through the crotch of Koscielny. Mertesacker put the ball in the goal before he came over."
The commentators cheered Suarez's goal.
However, this goal is indeed very exciting. It is a wonderful manifestation of Suarez's personal ability. His running, passing and shooting are all quite perfect.
The away fans of Liverpool cheered, while the fans of the home team were temporarily silent.
"Liverpool showed their resilience by quickly equalizing the score after conceding the goal. They proved with actual performance that their ability to complete five consecutive wins in the last five league rounds was not just luck!"
The camera showed Rogers on the sidelines.
The head coach who quickly put together the Liverpool team, made full use of Liverpool's existing resources to integrate the team, and rebuilt Liverpool into a competitive team must have a lot of work on his hands.
Actually.
in history.
It was in Rodgers' second season after taking over Liverpool.
That is, in the 2013-2014 season, Liverpool almost won the first Premier League championship trophy they dreamed of.
It was really just a hair away - as long as Gerrard didn't slip.
Sometimes, you have to admit that in the world of football, there is such a thing as metaphysics.
Take Gerrard for example.
No matter from which aspect, he can be regarded as one of the greatest captains in Liverpool history.
Not even one.
He led Liverpool to win the Champions League trophy.
But by accident.
He has been very close to winning the Premier League title on several occasions.
Especially the last time. It was because of his mistakes that the team lost the championship at the last moment.
Time is also fate.
In fact, Arsenal performed very well in this game.
They took the lead in scoring. In the 15th minute of the game, Yelo passed Cazorla at the front of the penalty area, and Cazorla scored from the line of the small penalty area.
And fifteen minutes before the start of the game, Arsenal also firmly grasped the initiative.
But it happened that Liverpool made their only counterattack in the game so far in the 17th minute of the game.
Just scored a goal.
Suarez's ability to seize opportunities and his ghostly movement at the front of the penalty area prove that he is a player with superstar ability.
Rodgers was excited on the sidelines.
He clenched his fists and raised his arms while shouting.
He told his players before the game not to be afraid of conceding the ball.
Because their counterattack is not something Arsenal can withstand.
The trident counterattack system composed of Suarez, Sturridge, and Sterling. Sturridge and Sterling are fast enough, and Suarez's ability to seize opportunities is good enough.
In the backcourt, Liverpool's three midfielders actually have a certain ability to pass and threaten the ball, especially Gerrard.
Also worth noting is the performance of the veteran Carragher.
This time Liverpool's counterattack came from Carragher. He anticipated Cazorla's attempt to find Yello, ran early, appeared on the line, and handed the ball to Gerrard after stealing the ball. , and then Gerrard launched a counterattack.
This was a total tactical victory for Liverpool.
Shrink back and hit Arsenal's counterattack.
This move works!
Wenger frowned slightly.
It is always unpleasant to be equalized after scoring first, and what makes Wenger even more troublesome is Liverpool's system.
"I didn't expect that Rogers actually put Carragher to good use!"
Wenger turned to his assistant and said.
Blake also looked a little solemn.
"Their defenses are very complementary. Carragher's physical fitness and confrontation are not good, but he is very experienced! He is a bit like"
"Drapping the centre-back!" Wenger added.
"Yes, it's the trailing central defender!" Blake took a deep breath.
Now that Liverpool has recycled all their players, they do not consider offside, so Carragher's position will not have much impact.
The key is.
Liverpool made good use of their strengths and avoided their weaknesses, allowing Skrtel, who had better physical fitness, Henderson, who had better physical fitness, and Lucas, who had wider coverage, to charge forward.
And Carragher uses his experience to detect and fill gaps and anticipate the opponent's choices.
For example, Cazorla's through ball was predicted by him.
Such a system does make Liverpool's defense more flexible and resilient when facing Arsenal's offense, and it also reduces Arsenal's offensive threat a lot.
Ye Luo was surprised.
He didn't expect that Carragher, an old guy who seemed to have no energy left, could actually play such a role.
Several times he tried to catch the ball, but found Carragher standing on the key line.
Several times when I wanted to pass the ball, this guy appeared on the key line.
From this point of view.
Experience is really crucial for a football player.
If Carragher's physical fitness and confrontation ability remain at the peak, and he has such game experience, he can indeed be regarded as a top central defender.
Ye Luo withdrew his gaze.
"What are you looking at, Ye?"
Dajilu on the side couldn't help but asked curiously.
"I remembered a sentence"
"What words?"
“Don’t underestimate any scarred veteran.”
A big question mark appeared in Dajilu's mind.
"Who said this? Where does it come from?"
When Ye Luo heard Jilu ask this, he had to think about it seriously.
Then he shook his head and said: "I don't know, I always feel like I have heard this sentence somewhere."
Then he suddenly laughed: "If there is no source, then let it be my famous quote."
"Where can I say that what I say is famous?" Cazorla curled his lips and complained not far away.
"Actually, with my status as captain, I am indeed qualified to make famous remarks." Ramsey said on the other side.
"Young man, your road is widened."
Ye Luo nodded towards Cazorla with satisfaction.
Everyone laughed.
The TV camera didn't give this picture.
But the Liverpool players must have seen it.
Skrtel was unhappy.
"Why are they smiling so happily? It was us who scored the goal!"
he said to his partner Carragher.
In their first match this season, Skrtel had a taste of Yeluo's power, and he was about to be crushed in almost every aspect.
But he felt much better this game.
The job he has to do is relatively simple, which is to use his body to cause some trouble for Arsenal's offensive players. As for the other work, Carragher behind him will complete it.
This made Skrtel's performance even better.
After all, you don’t have to think too much.
"Because they didn't think we were a big threat to them, we were obviously underestimated," Carragher said.
"Damn it!" Skrtel was furious when he heard that his opponent dared to underestimate him.
But Carragher smiled slightly and said: "I don't think this is a bad thing. Because whether they underestimate us or not, all we have to do is defend. If they are relatively less sharp on the offensive end because of their own mentality, then Isn’t it also a good thing for us?”
"makes sense."
Skrtel was stunned.
He then showed a smile: "In other words, we are pretending to be pigs and eating tigers."
"Well"
Carragher was suddenly speechless.
Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger usually requires the ability to really eat a tiger, but if the person opposite you is really a tiger and you are really a pig.
That's not really nice.
However, Carragher did not undermine his partner's confidence.
"No matter what, we must keep one thing in mind: stand at key positions, defend well, and counterattack!"
Carragher emphasized.
After the game restarts.
The rhythm of the game is still not much different from before.
Arsenal had more possession of the ball.
Liverpool, on the other hand, retreated.
After Yeluo got the ball at the front of the penalty area, he turned around and faced a dense defensive system.
He is concerned about Carragher's position.
The guy was very far back.
"Drawing centre-back?"
Ye Luo muttered, passed the ball crosswise, and then continued to run and observe.
A few minutes later, the football was passed to the feet of center back Koscielny in the backcourt.
This round of testing by Arsenal came to nothing.
But Yello has also discovered that Liverpool has achieved good results by letting Carragher stay behind. He can always make up for some loopholes that may appear in the defense. At the same time, he delays at the end, deliberately avoiding the contact with Yelo and Ji. Lu and others engaged in physical confrontation.
Make the most of your strengths and avoid your weaknesses.
Wenger was sitting on the coaching bench on the sidelines and had already begun to figure out the adjustment plan for the second half.
And right now.
He found that Yelo distributed the ball to the wing after taking the ball, and then made a gesture.
That's the gesture for a cross from the wing.
Wenger's eyes lit up.
Ye Luo's thoughts coincided with his.
He simply crossed his legs.
It was originally thought that specific adjustments would not be made until the second half, but now Yelo, as Arsenal's commander on the court, has taken the initiative to make changes.
I saw Ye Luo suddenly rushing into the penalty area and taking the initiative to approach Carragher.
Aren't you avoiding me to kick?
If I play the card of "going deep into the penalty area to grab points", how will you respond?
After receiving the ball, Sagna made a cross.
Just look for the area guarded by Carragher.
Skrtel came over to help with the defense.
But when Ye Luo jumped high, both Skrtel and Carragher were a little desperate.
They watched helplessly as Yelo headed the ball toward the goal.
Reina made a save at a critical moment and saved Liverpool.
But even so.
Rogers and many Liverpool players on the field realized this.
Yello has found the backbone of Liverpool's defense
