Chapter 697 Reversed Again!

Facts have proved that Yang Yang's worries were right.

After the start of this game of the away gunners, the two sides were very fierce.

Liverpool looked very cautious at the beginning. After all, Mascherano was not there. The combination of Gareth Barry and Xavi Alonso took a little time to adapt.

Arsenal are patiently looking for opportunities and don't seem to be in a hurry.

Liverpool was the first to attack, but in the 24th minute, when Arsenal got the ball in midfield, Liverpool took the initiative to exert pressure, and Nasri sent the ball to the front with a long pass.

At the front of the penalty area, Van Persie grabbed the ball under the double-teams of Carragher and Daniel Agger. After stopping the ball in his chest, he dunked Carragher and scored a volley from the front of the penalty area, opening the scoring for Arsenal. One to zero!

...

On the court, when Yang Yang saw Van Persie excitedly rushing out of the court to celebrate the team's goal, he sighed heavily and felt very depressed.

What he feared finally happened.

Liverpool's current three trustworthy central defenders are not in a particularly ideal state. They have exposed hidden dangers when they played Hull City before, and this is still the case against Arsenal this afternoon.

Carragher was obviously very depressed about this. He kept shaking his head and pointed to the sun in the sky. "It was flashed by the sun."

Everyone is helpless to this explanation. Who made Liverpool unable to draw Arsenal when they opened the draw?

The Gunners are obviously well-prepared. They won the lottery, and they don't want to kick off the ball. They have to choose the side that is favorable to them in the first half, hoping to let Liverpool defend against the light.

As for an hour later, when the second half changed sides, it was already night.

Gerrard is also speechless, who made him lose to Cesc Fabregas in the draw?

"Don't be discouraged, there is only one ball, you try to pass forward as much as possible, I will rush, the most important thing is to guard our goal and leave the attack to me!" Yang Yang said confidently.

Arsenal's defense is not great, he is confident that as long as his teammates keep the goal and create chances, he will be able to score.

...

The game restarts.

The two teams once again invested in active fighting and pressing.

Denilson fouled Yang Yang and gave Liverpool a free kick from 30 meters away, but Yang Yang failed to create a threat and was hugged by Almunia.

Although Yang Yang's free-kick strength has soared, he is still not strong enough to treat the free-kick as a penalty.

To really have this kind of strength, it would be too heaven-defying.

…………

…………

Wenger arranged a four-four-two formation in this game, with Adebayor and Van Persie as the two forwards, Nasri playing on the left, Cesc Fabregas in the center for scheduling and organization, and Alexander Song on full-time defense.

Not only that, Wenger also arranged for Denilson to play a fullback on the right, Sagna to play a fullback, Gallas on the left to play a right central defender, and Qiaolu to play a left central defender, and the purpose of this is to want to play. Limit Yang Yang.

After seeing Yang Yang being kicked down by Denilsen, he took a free kick and was hugged by Almunia, Wenger nodded in appreciation.

After more than thirty minutes, Yang Yang did not perform well.

"In the end or Benitez is not there!" Wenger secretly said happily.

If the damned Spanish bald man hadn't had surgery, it would have been Wenger's turn to have kidney pain.

He can always toss out some targeted tactics to defuse Wenger's adjustment, and then let the players play a threat on the field.

But now he is not there, and the on-the-spot command of Yesterdam is obviously much worse than that of Benitez.

"Liverpool is now fighting around Yang Yang. As long as Yang Yang is strangled, Liverpool's offense will be greatly reduced." Assistant coach Pat Rice said with a smile.

Wenger kept nodding, what Yesterdam used was a method that was not a solution, that is, relying on the players.

While speaking, Liverpool began to instigate the attack. Aurelio on the left tried to intervene to participate in the attack in the frontcourt, but was fouled by Adebayor, and the Togo striker received a yellow card for this.

But an attack by Liverpool was aborted.

After the opening, the Red Army's attack was obviously unable to open the situation, and it was somewhat passive.

…………

…………

Yang Yang could see that he was a bit isolated in the frontcourt and couldn't get the ball.

If you can't get the ball, naturally you can't create a threat.

However, what sets him apart from other players is that he is very physically fit and has very strong running ability, especially without the ball.

As a result, he quickly began to change his position and style of play.

In the 39th minute, Yang Yang took the initiative to retreat from the front court, ran to Gareth Barry, and raised his hand for the ball.

The England midfielder was looking for the ball, and when he saw Yang Yang, he immediately passed the ball over.

After Yang Yang received the ball, he turned and dribbled the ball towards Crouch, and saw the opportunity to send it.

Crouch understood, and after blocking Qiaolu with his body, he knocked the ball back behind Gallas.

This was originally a wonderful two-vs-one match, but unfortunately, Crouch was impatient and the pass was a bit big.

Yang Yang caught up all the way at the fastest speed, and finally caught up with the ball on the left side of the penalty area, but he missed the opportunity to enter the penalty area and was forced to take the ball and face Sagna one-on-one. He made a pass from Xia Di, but it was suddenly deducted and passed back to the front of the penalty area. Gerrard followed and hit directly.

The ball hit Gallas and popped the baseline.

Then, Xavi Alonso sent a corner kick, Crouch headed the ball in the penalty area, and Gerrard got a chance from the outside of the penalty area and took a long shot again, but he still failed to score.

...

Having tasted the sweetness once, Yang Yang continued to follow the example, or expanded his scope of activities and retreated.

But soon, Wenger made adjustments on the sidelines, indicating that Alexander Song and Denilsen should pay close attention to Yang Yang.

This is the advantage of having the head coach on the sidelines to command on the spot. He can make adjustments that are beneficial to himself at any time and place according to the situation on the field. However, Yesterdam lacks the keen tactical sense of Benitez, and he is not on the spot. The courage to command adjustments.

Yang Yang was quickly restrained again, but he met Gerald and immediately saw the trick.

So soon, Yang Yang stepped up, and Crouch retreated to the midfield.

And this time, Arsenal's defense itself has exposed problems.

In a back and forth fight in midfield, Crouch dropped the ball, but was quickly snatched by Arsenal.

Cesc Fabregas launched a counterattack on the spot and wanted to hit Liverpool directly behind, but Carragher fell to the ground for a tackle and broke the ball. Daniel Agger quickly passed the ball to Xavi Alonso.

The Spanish midfielder stopped the ball, looked up at the front, and made a long pass.

The ball was sent precisely across half-time and fell behind Arsenal's defence.

Yang Yang was like an incomparably sharp knife, cutting through Arsenal's defense in an instant, throwing off veteran Gallas at the fastest speed, chasing the ball away.

Sania and Qiaolu chased back at the same time, but neither could stop Yang Yang.

Between the two defenders, Yang Yang judged the trend and placement of Xavi Alonso's long pass, calmly occupying the most favorable position for him.

He didn't stop the ball immediately, but felt that he was one step ahead of Sagna and Qiaolu, so he let the ball bounce off the outside of the penalty area.

Almunia wanted to attack, but was hesitant because he saw that Yang Yang was sprinting very fast.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Yang Yang had already rushed into the restricted area.

Yang Yang saw the spot where the ball fell after it hit the ground and bounced back. He didn't stop the ball, but chased after it. After standing with his left foot, he faced the falling ball with his right foot and shot directly with one foot.

Almunia flew to make a save, but the shot came quickly and urgently, and the Spanish goalkeeper was powerless after all.

One to one!

After Yang Yang's shot, his speed did not decrease at all. He turned a corner at the front of Arsenal's small penalty area, raised his arms high, rushed directly to the corner kick area where the Liverpool fans were, and pulled up his jersey high. , revealing the white T-shirt underneath.

I saw it read, "I wish you a speedy recovery, Raphael!"

Gerrard and other Liverpool players also rushed towards Yang Yang. They were a little surprised when they saw this jersey on him. I don't know when he wrote it, and they didn't tell other teammates.

But everyone also stood beside Yang Yang and pointed to the jersey on his body, because they all knew that at this moment, the live TV camera must be aimed at Yang Yang who scored the goal.

...

"Yang Yang is obviously giving this goal to Rafael Benitez who just had kidney stone surgery."

"The Spanish coach should be watching this game at home now. I believe he should be very excited and proud to see his favorite players condolences with this goal."

"It's the 42nd minute of the first half. With Yang Yang's goal, Liverpool temporarily tied with Arsenal one-to-one. However, Liverpool, who are on the road and have no head coach on the spot, should be cautious."

...

After the game restarted, Liverpool took advantage of the momentum of the goal and continued to launch a fierce attack on Arsenal.

This is also a style of play that Liverpool is best at, that is, taking advantage of the opponent's unsteady foothold and eating the opponent in one go.

Just after Arsenal kicked off, they found that Liverpool pressed heavily, which made the Gunners a little uncomfortable.

After several consecutive passes, Gareth Barry cut the ball off and Xavi Alonso was on the right when trying to get past Liverpool's midfield.

Arsenal's defensive focus is on Yang Yang's side on the left, and the right is thin.

After Abeloa plugged in to catch the ball, he cooperated with Kuyt and Gerrard on the wing. Kuyt went down to the bottom line and passed the ball to the penalty spot in the middle of the penalty area.

Crouch attracted the attention of the defense at the front point, but Gallas and Alexander Song, who were marking Yang Yang in the middle, actually missed people. Yang Yang moved to the right of the penalty spot like a ghost, and was unguarded. Next, facing Kuyt's cross from the right, he turned around and volleyed directly.

The ball, like a cannonball, passed through Almunia's hands and crashed into Arsenal's goal.

Two to one!

Liverpool are back!
