Chapter 102: Being knocked away (first update, please vote for me!)
Arsenal needs this win and so does Liverpool.
Chen Yingxiong needs to score more goals.
Although he received less support, Chen Yingxiong was still active in the frontcourt. He increased his running distance to make up for the lack of passing points.
No matter where the football was kicked, he would run to it. Regardless of whether he can grab the football in the end, he will still grab it.
He kept in mind what Raul once taught him—opportunities are something you run out and grab by yourself, never waiting for them. No matter if there is a chance or not, you have to run, even if in the eyes of outsiders, you are like a headless fly running blindly. In the beginning, you just ran blindly. As you run, you will find a pattern and know how to run.
Moreover, this kind of running method in the frontcourt can also put huge psychological pressure on the defenders - they are afraid that if you succeed in counterattacking, they will directly face the goal.
If you are under huge pressure for a long time, your movements may be out of shape, your brain may be short-circuited, your thoughts may be distracted, etc. Various situations may occur. Active mistakes may increase, and pressing forwards may take advantage of them.
Chen Yingxiong had this idea.
But how could Arsenal not know what he was thinking? Therefore, all members of the defense were on alert, and the midfielders also came to help them.
Try to stifle Liverpool's few offenses in time.
Arsenal's defenders will no longer fall for a while when they get the ball in the backcourt. At this time, winning is more important than anything else. They have even abandoned their previous style. Robin van Persie just equalized the score for the team. This is a great opportunity. But nothing can go wrong with their defender.
Now, after Arsenal defenders get the ball, they pass it directly forward, or pass as many direct passes as possible. They rarely pass the ball back and forth between each other.
They were just afraid of Chen Yingxiong, who was running wildly without any effort, and Suarez, who was running wildly with him.
These two people are currently Liverpool's only offensive force in the frontcourt. Both Bellamy and Adam Johnson were asked to return to defense, and the defense was still very deep. On several occasions, both of them chased back to the bottom line. Almost equivalent to a full-back.
※ ※ ※
Suarez ran with Chen Yingxiong - he didn't want to run, but if he didn't run, Chen Yingxiong would say that he was not interesting enough and was not a buddy. In order to prove that he was interesting enough, Suarez had no choice but to run with him.
But this is really not his style of playing. He prefers to run with the ball rather than without the ball.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of a dead ball, Suarez, who was already out of breath, found Chen Yingxiong: "I said Yingying, Yingxiong... running like this, running like this... is it really effective? I think, I think the two of us are good, Like, like a fool!" He was so tired that he couldn't even speak coherently. It's not that his physical fitness is so bad, but that the game has been more than seventy minutes now, and it has just reached a critical point of physical fitness. Some people with average physical fitness People have no strength when they get here.
If you can grit your teeth and get through it, you can recover and regain your life.
Suarez is obviously going through this process.
"You won't be stupid if you score a goal!" Chen Yingxiong said decisively. He was panting slightly, but his breath was not disordered. This is the difference in physical fitness.
"Damn... I can't run anymore!" After breathing for a while, Suarez was finally able to speak smoothly.
"No, you have to run!" Chen Yingxiong glared.
"I really can't run anymore..." Suarez said with a grimace. "I've been running for more than seventy minutes!"
"Holy shit, you're so useless!" Chen Yingxiong was helpless. "Okay, if you don't run, I'll run!"
Suarez gave Chen Yingxiong a thumbs up: "I wish you good luck, hero! You run, I will cheer you on!"
So now there is only one Liverpool player, Chen Yingxiong, running around in the frontcourt...
※ ※ ※
Running can really bring benefits, especially those that are unexpected.
This time, though, he didn't use his off-the-ball movement to get a certain Arsenal defender sent off.
He just ran out of opportunities that belonged to him.
When the game time just entered the 80-minute threshold, Liverpool passed the ball directly from the backcourt, or is it more vivid with big feet?
Regardless of whether it was a long pass or a big kick, the football flew towards the frontcourt and ran towards the right rib.
Chen Yingxiong took a look and realized that he could not control the impact of the ball with his head, so he turned around and chased after it.
Chasing with him was Koscielny.
Running near the landing point, Chen Yingxiong took the lead and stretched his legs to unload the ball directly from the air.
Just when everyone thought he would hold the ball and wait for his teammates to come up to support him, Chen Yingxiong directly moved the stopped football forward, and he continued to break through with the ball!
Chen Yingxiong knows that the current team's tactics are relatively conservative. If he waits for his teammates, he is afraid that the offense will be lost again.
So he can only break through by himself. Anyway, the football is at his feet now. Who can he be afraid of? !
There is so much open space in front of us, so come on!
Koscielny was originally stuck inside, but he didn't expect that Chen Yingxiong would break through directly after taking off the football. After being stunned, Chen Yingxiong was left half a body behind.
If he starts chasing again, he can only eat ashes behind his butt...
But I still have to chase. This is what defenders do. Even if they can't steal the football, they must always interfere with him so that he can't comfortably take the ball and shoot.
So Koscielny chased after him relentlessly, and constantly collided with Chen Yingxiong's body, interfering with Chen Yingxiong's ball control. Now the two sides have not entered the penalty area, but once they enter the penalty area, he will not dare to do so... …
He bumped it but didn't move.
He wondered if he had used too little force?
It seems that we can’t do it without making great efforts! Fortunately, I was worried about fouls before...
With this thought in his mind, Koscielny rushed towards Chen Yingxiong with all his strength for the second time!
If this was really successful, it would be a total foul!
Koscielny no longer cares about that much.
Chen Yingxiong, who was dribbling the ball, felt an impact on his side and behind just as he put the football out. But he didn't take it seriously. His attention was all on the football. He wanted to chase the ball...
※ ※ ※
"Oh my God!" the narrator exclaims.
Not only him, but the fans at the scene and the audience in front of the TV all gasped!
When they saw Koscielny bumping into Chen Yingxiong, they were still worried that Chen Yingxiong would lose the ball. Liverpool fans even shouted "Damn it, he fouled."
But the next second everyone was stunned!
Because they saw that Koscielny, who had an attitude of making Chen Yingxiong roll three times on the ground, after bumping into Chen Yingxiong, he flipped around in the air and then fell down - he was hit instead. Crash!
This time it was the Arsenal fans' turn to shout "foul", but the referee said nothing.
Chen Yingxiong didn't even raise his hand, how could it be a foul?
This is entirely due to the huge physical gap between the two people!
"Koscielny flew out... He took the initiative to hit the hero!"
※ ※ ※
Just when Van Persie was still feeling sorry that Chen Yingxiong might not be able to continue competing with him, he didn't expect that Chen Yingxiong had already revealed his fierce attitude, showed his sharp minions, and entered Arsenal's penalty area!
When Van Persie saw the scene in the frontcourt when Koscielny failed to hit someone but was knocked away instead, his eyes widened with an incredulous expression on his face.
What kind of material is this person made of?
※ ※ ※
Chen Yingxiong didn't look back at what was happening behind him at all. He didn't have the time. Anyway, he felt the pressure on his side and back suddenly lighten up, as if a big burden had been lifted off him.
He caught up with the football and entered the penalty area.
Arsenal goalkeeper Szczesny raised his hand when he saw Koscielny flying out. He wanted to complain to the referee that Chen Yingxiong was suspected of fouling.
But he quickly let it go. Because he couldn't take care of it - Chen Yingxiong had already entered the penalty area, and he had to attack now!
If you don’t attack, just wait until the fun is over!
Facing the attacking Szczesny, Chen Yingxiong directly raised his right leg.
Szczesny was still thinking about whether Chen Yingxiong was making a fake move, which way he should move next, and how he was going to deal with it, when he saw Chen Yingxiong's right leg swinging down without any fake move. Just hit the ball!
That "bang!" Szczesny heard clearly, and even shook his heart.
The football came roaring with a bang!
It was here in an instant, and he wasn't ready yet...
The football had flown past him, bringing with it a gust of wind.
Immediately afterwards, he heard huge cheers.
“goooooooooooooooal!!!!”
Chen Yingxiong ran past him amidst the cheers, ran behind the goal, waved his fist hard towards the stands, opened his mouth and roared!
"victory--!"
※ ※ ※
"Hero! Hero! Hat trick! He completed the hat trick!"
"The competition between two outstanding shooters has reached its climax!"
"Van Persie scored two, and Chen Yingxiong will score three! Beautiful! Good talent!"
"Hero's second hat trick - the previous one was a big four in the league away game against Manchester City... In the 81st minute, Chen Yingxiong scored his third goal of the game, helping Liverpool take the lead for the third time!"
※ ※ ※
The entire stadium was shouting "Hero! Hero! Hero!". Liverpool fans stamped their feet and waved their arms, cheering for Chen Yingxiong. Anfield Stadium feels somewhat like "hell" at this moment. The sacred and terrifying place back then can still be vaguely seen amidst the deafening shouts.
Van Persie raised his head and looked around. Those shouts resounded through the sky, shaking his eardrums and heart.
He suddenly felt that he was still feeling pity for Chen Yingxiong before... What a stupid idea!
I would actually sympathize with him?
My mind is really spinning!
Damn it!
This time it was Van Persie's turn to clench his hands into fists.
