Chapter 264: The Gap in Strength (Second Update, Guaranteed)
Liverpool contracted to defend against counterattacks. Even if Arsenal knew their plan, they could only hold their noses and admit it at this time. (《》)
If they don't attack, they lose. Although the offense may also lose, it is always a "possible" rather than a "certain".
The former is "definitely" defeated.
After Arsenal pressed forward, Miyaichi Ryo's dexterity gradually failed to be used. He was surrounded by people, and offense and defense turned into frequent physical contact. His physical resistance is too weak.
Arsenal's siege has not yet been effective.
It was Liverpool's counterattack that was very successful.
Before the end of the first half, Liverpool used a counterattack to score another goal, this time by Gareth Bale.
The Welsh Pony staged a scene on the wing that made all the spectators excited.
He took the ball from the backcourt and pretended to pass it to Chen Yingxiong who was receiving the ball in front. He deceived Arsenal's defensive players to shrink inward, but he knocked the football forward, then accelerated the ball, and got away from him in a few steps. Arsenal players who don't play.
Immediately after entering the half-time, he faced the Arsenal defender who came up to block him. This time he chose to kick the football ten meters away, relied on his own speed to force overtake, and finally succeeded in overtaking his opponent.
Things became simple after that - with Chen Yingxiong pressing down in the middle, Arsenal's defenders didn't dare to act rashly.
Bell also did not pass the football to Chen Yingxiong. After breaking into the penalty area, he chose to shoot himself.
The football entered the goal from the far corner. Arsenal goalkeeper Szczesny could not save it and could only watch the football roll into his own goal.
"This is a typical Bale goal! Beautiful!"
"A thrilling goal! Bale used his speed advantage to the extreme!"
"Arsenal's defense was completely overwhelmed by Bale alone!"
"Of course, don't forget that the hero's support in the center is also the reason why Bell can score so easily - if he hadn't firmly attracted other Arsenal players in the center, I'm afraid Bell would have fallen into the opponent's layers. Surrounded!"
Liverpool's players hugged each other, while Arsenal's players were a little frustrated. Many of them had their hands on their hips and their heads lowered. church
Two goals behind and it was only the first half. For an opponent like Liverpool, it meant that they were only one step away from defeat.
They know Liverpool's style too well. Leading by one goal is their rhythm, let alone leading by two goals.

Wenger stood on the sidelines and watched his team score two goals by Liverpool in the first half, feeling bitter in his heart.
He really had no choice. If you want to beat Liverpool, you have to defeat Chen Yingxiong, but defeating Chen Yingxiong is currently a worldwide problem.
He didn't think he could solve it alone.
Last season, he used defensive tactics to successfully draw with Liverpool at his home court. In that game, he held Chen Yingxiong scoreless.
This is a great achievement and progress.
But Chen Yingxiong's enemies are making progress, and so is Chen Yingxiong himself.
Since then, more and more teams have defended against Liverpool, forcing Liverpool and Chen Yingxiong to upgrade themselves. What's more, Chen Yingxiong was originally the most powerful weapon to break intensive defense. Everyone soon discovered that intensive defense was useless against Liverpool.
Therefore, in this game, Wenger did not engage in intensive defense at all.
Instead, they attacked Liverpool openly and insisted on their Arsenal style of play.
In fact, this result was already expected. When he decided to play against Liverpool, he knew what his team would end up with.
But losing the game like this is better than abandoning the team's tradition and clinging to it for ninety minutes and losing the game.
At least after losing the game like this, many people would not blame him, because Arsenal insisted on their own style, but there is a huge gap in strength between them and Liverpool.
This is inevitable.
This season, it seems that no team in England can stop Liverpool. The latest chapter of the Temple But Wenger firmly believes that Liverpool's state will not last long. Next season, and the next season, this team will inevitably reach a trough. Until then, it's your chance.
All Wenger has to do now is wait patiently.
Anyway, he is a member of the Arsenal club's board of directors, and no one can drive him away unless he voluntarily leaves Arsenal.
He is younger than Ferguson, and he feels that this is his greatest asset - he can afford it!

In the second half of the game, Liverpool still defended and counterattacked - this made those Arsenal fans gnash their teeth with hatred, thinking that Liverpool was not manly enough and had the ability to come out and attack our Arsenal!
Liverpool don't care what their enemy fans think, and they don't have to answer to them.
They continued to stick to this defensive counterattack tactic.
In the second half they scored a goal against Arsenal and Arsenal scored a goal against them. It's a pity that Arsenal only scored this one goal...
In the end, Liverpool defeated Arsenal 3:1 away from home.
It has been twelve rounds of the league and they have not lost a game. Still undefeated so far.
It's so similar to last season... but better than last season.
When the league played 12 rounds last season, Liverpool had already drawn two games. This time they only drew one game.
The media have speculated that if this momentum continues, Liverpool may really win the league championship this season. They will defend the league title for the second consecutive year.
Being able to win the league championship for three consecutive years, in a country's league, basically means that this team has created their own dynasty.
Manchester United has won three consecutive championships many times, and now it is Liverpool's turn.
You must know that at the end of last season, when Chen Yingxiong shouted that he would win all the championships next season, many people still laughed at him.
But now, as the league progresses round by round, many people find that they can no longer laugh out loud.
Liverpool has already won two championships this season. The league championship is within Liverpool's grasp. The most difficult one is the Champions League.
But since they were able to defeat the powerful Barcelona in the final, it shows that they are now very powerful and above Barcelona.
What does it mean to win the Champions League above Barcelona?
Everyone did the math and found that the only way to stop Liverpool was luck.
What if Chen Yingxiong gets injured or gets an own goal in a game related to the championship...
This may also allow Liverpool to win fewer championships.
But they didn't realize it. They have always used the standard of "seven crowns" to demand and measure Liverpool.
Even if Liverpool loses one or two championships in the end, it will still be a great season for other teams, a great team, and an amazing achievement.
Just like Barcelona was once pulled from the La Liga championship by Real Madrid. Some people will say that Barcelona will never be great or powerful from now on?
This is what makes those enemies who hate Liverpool feel the most angry and unwilling.
Even if Liverpool lose the championship, it will not diminish their greatness. The great renaissance of a wealthy team can no longer be terminated!

In the thirteenth round of the league, Liverpool challenged Stoke City away from home. In this game, Martin O'Neal continued to rotate, even to a greater extent. Among the eleven players who started against Arsenal in the last game, only goalkeeper Reina and forward Chen Yingxiong were qualified to continue starting, and everyone else was replaced.
Relying on such a rotation, Liverpool defeated Stoke City 1:0 in the away game.
Chen Yingxiong scored the only goal of the game.
He has scored goals every time in the Premier League this season. If you include the last five league rounds of last season, he has scored in eighteen consecutive league rounds.
That's not all.
Chen Yingxiong has scored in all Liverpool games this season!
This is an even more remarkable achievement.
Currently he has scored 24 goals in the league, which is already the total number of goals scored by many forwards in a season. There are six goals in the Champions League, six in the League Cup, and the FA Cup has not started yet, so there are no goals. He scored seven goals in the national team, one in the Community Shield and three in the European Super Cup. In total, he scored a total of forty-seven goals.
This terrifying number is the highest in Europe. He is currently the best goal-scoring player in Europe. Neither Cristiano Ronaldo nor Messi can compare with him.
And Liverpool has achieved such brilliant results this season with the help of Chen Yingxiong, who is full of firepower.
"Liverpool is equal to the hero. This equation is true." After this game, some English media expressed such emotion.
But Liverpool did not focus on the league.
The Champions League in midweek is the most important game in the group stage.
Liverpool will face PSV Eindhoven at home.
If they can defeat PSV in this game, they will qualify one round ahead of schedule and top the group.
In this way, they can take a breather in the busy schedule of December.
Because in December, they are going to Tokyo, Japan, to participate in the World Club Cup. With long travel and a busy schedule, December is definitely not an easy month for Liverpool.
Work harder now and save effort later.
If Liverpool fails to secure first place in the group one round in advance, it will definitely force them to fight hard in the Champions League group stage in December. The impact will be all-round, not only the Champions League will be affected, but also the Club World Cup, This is true for all leagues.
Although the Football Association of England has considered that Liverpool will play in the Club World Cup, it has postponed the League Cup quarter-finals originally scheduled for December to January.
But this means little to Liverpool.
However, no one doubted that Liverpool would come back at home.
Since they can beat PSV on the road, there is no doubt that they can beat PSV at home.
Therefore, Liverpool is determined to be number one in this group.
