Although Chen Yingxiong helped the team get a goal back, which gave the team hope, but back in the locker room, Martin O'Neill did not praise the team's performance. He now severely criticized the players for their performance after falling behind. performance, and then tell them that they can still sit here and catch their breath now, all because of luck!

Yes, it was luck. If it weren't for luck, they would have been dead long ago.

After scolding the players, Martin O'Neal began to tell everyone how to...win the game in the second half.

That's right, Martin O'Neill wants to win, not draw or anything like that.

Manchester United is chasing closely. If Liverpool draws again, the point difference between the two sides will become smaller and smaller.

Therefore, no matter how extremely unfavorable the situation is, we must win this game.

"We need to strengthen our defense against Van Persie. Obviously he is the core of Arsenal's offense in this game. He can take the ball, break through, pass the ball, and shoot on his own. He is a difficult player to deal with. I ask you to When defending, you can be tougher, even if it is a foul outside the penalty area, but you must pay attention to the location of the foul... In addition, the defense must pay attention to shrinking quickly and not giving them too much space. Our two central defenders turn around. They are both slow, so don't press too close. Miyaichi Ryo and Walcott are both fast players. If you give them too much space, they will take advantage of it when defending. The whole team must quickly unite and shrink tightly!”

Martin O'Neal spread his right hand and then suddenly clenched it into a fist.

"Just like this! Let them find no cracks to get into our palms!"

In the locker room next door, Wenger was also explaining the second half arrangements to his players.

He praised the team's two goals in the first half, but he also criticized the team's somewhat lax performance after taking a two-goal lead. If everyone could concentrate as before, maybe Miyashi Liang would not miss the ball, and maybe Arsenal would have led the opponent 3:0, 4:0, and then there would be no Chen Yingxiong scoring later. It's a matter of time.

But now that things have happened, it is useless to criticize. It is better to think carefully about how to deal with a Liverpool whose morale has been improved in the second half.

"Liverpool will definitely shrink their defense because they know that we have found the weakness of their defense. We have to find a way to break through their dense defense and use the pass! Use constant passes to tear apart their defense!"

Many people feel that Barcelona plays artistic football and their passing is breathtaking. But before Guardiola coached Barcelona, ​​Arsenal had been playing this kind of football under Wenger for many years. Their passing was like flowing water and very smooth. It was different from Barcelona's constant backcourt to increase the ball possession rate. Arsenal's passing is forward and more enjoyable. The small-scale cooperation of two or three players in a densely defended area often makes people feel that this is simply the sudden inspiration of the players themselves, which is difficult to detect.

Wenger has been coaching Arsenal for seventeen years. He has changed a lot, but this has never changed. Arsenal still plays the most entertaining, beautiful and artistic football in England. Their small-scale cooperation in the frontcourt attack is amazing and also gives opponents a headache... No one has denied that Arsenal attack power, but their defense is more of a headache for their own people...

In the second half of the game, the two sides changed sides and fought again. When Chen Yingxiong and Van Persie walked out of the tunnel respectively, the live camera gave them a ten-second close-up, from a long shot to a close shot and then to a partial close-up.

The director is using this method to remind the fans watching the game that these two people are the key figures in this game! Who wins and who loses is up to them!

But this time the director guessed wrong.

In fact, the decisive players in the second half were the defenders on both sides...

Liverpool center back Agger had already shaken hands with Reina during the halftime break. Reina, as the third captain, came out first and admitted that he was a little too excited at the time and swore at Agger. And Agger must be embarrassed to continue to struggle. He also said that he did have a lack of concentration in defense...

The two shook hands and made peace, eliminating the hidden danger in Liverpool's defense.

In the second half, everyone can clearly see that Liverpool's defense retreated very deep. And when Arsenal attacked, Liverpool's players retreated quite quickly.

Just like the ebbing tide, Hulala all retreated to their defensive positions.

On Arsenal's defender side, they also strengthened their defense against Chen Yingxiong.

The goal conceded in the first half made many people suddenly wake up - perhaps because the previous two goals were scored so easily, they all forgot what a terrifying figure Liverpool's No. 9 is...

Chen Yingxiong is not the kind of guy they can look down upon!

As long as Chen Yingxiong gets the ball now, two players will come up to guard him, preventing him from getting the ball easily.

Mertesacker also tried his best to control the high ball. He is three centimeters taller than Chen Yingxiong. He is good at headers and can compete with Chen Yingxiong in the air.

So after the start of the second half, the two centers had nothing outstanding, but the defensive players often appeared in close-ups and became the protagonists.

Van Persie wanted to compete with Chen Yingxiong, so he was particularly keen on shooting after the second half. He kicked the ball several times. However, both Skrtel and Agger stepped up their defense against him and always stayed by his side. And he is in a similar situation to Chen Yingxiong. He is a left-footed player through and through, and his right foot is not very good. If he wants to shoot, he has to fall to his left foot to take the shot, otherwise he will not shoot. In this way, whether it is Skrtel or Agger, it will be much easier to defend his shot. You only need to pay attention to guarding his left foot, and you can completely ignore his right foot...

Van Persie was trapped in a tight siege, and his body was not dominant. He could only use his foot skills to find space. However, as Liverpool's three lines retreated and shrank as a whole, the space left for him in the penalty area became very narrow. Sometimes, just being able to protect the football from being intercepted is already very good, let alone shooting...

But that didn't make him impatient.

Thirty-year-old Van Persie has matured a lot. He is no longer the unruly bad boy he used to be.

He knew that no one could maintain a high degree of concentration during a ninety-minute game. It was very tiring, and unless it was a robot, it would be impossible for anyone to do it.

He just needs to keep attacking Liverpool's defense like this, putting pressure on them, and then wait for the moment when their strings snap due to excessive pressure...this is his chance!

Anyway, Arsenal now creates more offensive opportunities than Liverpool. After all, this is Arsenal's home court. Amid the cheers and cheers of the home fans, Arsenal's morale is high. Coupled with the issue of football style, Arsenal can also find their own way to deal with this kind of positional battle.

Liverpool purely counterattacked defensively, holding on in the backcourt, and then making long passes to find Chen Yingxiong and others in front - most of the time it was Chen Yingxiong alone. Either form a shot, or wait for support from teammates.

He believed that he would get a fatal chance before Chen Yingxiong!

He did get it first. In the 60th minute, there was a slight movement in Liverpool's defense, and a tiny gap was revealed, which was found by Robin van Persie.

He received the pass in the open space, then turned around and hit the goal!

All Liverpool fans' hearts were in their throats, and Arsenal fans couldn't help but start cheering in advance.

After shooting from such a close distance, Reina seemed to have surrendered. It was impossible for him to make any effective save.

"Opportunity! Oops..."

When everyone thought Liverpool was doomed this time, Skrtel played the role of a savior. At the most critical moment, he stretched out a kick, and Van Persie's shot hit his foot and bounced out directly. Bottom line!

"Van Persie missed a great opportunity! His shot was blocked by Skrtel!"

"It was so dangerous! Liverpool almost fell behind by two goals again!"

"Skrtel has become a hero for Liverpool! He is the most trustworthy on the defensive end!"

Seeing the football go wide of the goal, Van Persie covered his mouth with his hands and his eyes widened, unable to believe this scene.

He was just a hair away from scoring a hat trick, helping the team regain a two-goal lead...

What the hell!

A sentence suddenly came to his mind - wasting opportunities will lead to retribution...

He couldn't help but shudder.

When Van Persie shot towards the goal, Chen Yingxiong was also taken aback. But luckily Skrtel blocked the football.

Then he suddenly thought of this sentence - if you survive a catastrophe, you will be lucky!

Arsenal's corner kicks did not pose any threat to Liverpool, although Arsenal had a tall man like Mertesacker to compete for the top. But Liverpool's two central defenders are both over 1.9 meters tall, plus Chen Yingxiong, Mertesacker can't take any advantage in front of Liverpool...

Van Persie had quickly recovered from the blow of the missed opportunity. He calmed down again and began to wait for his next opportunity. I am the captain of the team and I have to set an example at all times. I cannot be swayed just because I missed such an opportunity. How can I lead the team in that case?

But deep down in his heart, he felt a little unsure - when will the next opportunity come back? Will I get it earlier than the hero?

He shook his head, throwing away this ominous thought. At the same time, I swear in my heart.

No matter when the next opportunity comes, you must seize it!
