When Liverpool had already threatened Arsenal's defense in the fast break, Arsenal did not change their attitude towards the game.
In the 10th minute of the game, Chambers assisted the frontcourt, received the pass from Ramsey and quickly collided with Mane to fight against the wall, and then went to the inside to enter the Liverpool penalty area, but was successfully intercepted by Van Dijk on the penalty area.
It seems that Arsenal is full of fighting spirit and motivation, but it is also a bit reckless.
Situ Yunbing didn't know what Arsenal's mentality is now, but it was a bit simple and crazy to play like this, but lacked enough rationality.
In the 14th minute of the game, when Salah was caught in a pinch-hit shot in the frontcourt and looked for Wijnaldum who was in front, the football was successfully intercepted by Kanter halfway through.
Liverpool immediately changed from defense to offense. Although Arsenal also launched a counter-attack at the first time, it was still not as fast as Liverpool's transfer and attack speed. Robertson passed the ball from the left and went across the right, and Arnold dribbled the ball quickly and advanced to the half.
When Milner assisted in defense against Mbappe, Arnold quickly passed the ball diagonally in front of the penalty area.
Lewandowski took the initiative to respond and withstood the press from behind Matipu, turned around and swept the ball to the left side outside the penalty area.
Sane suddenly accelerated and cut across when touching the ball from the side!
Although Bellerin's hastily changed directions and pursued him, he could never catch up!
As soon as Sane dribbled into the penalty area, Koscheerny immediately turned around and quickly put the shovel in an attempt to block his forward line. At this time, Sane calmly passed the ball diagonally into the penalty area right side!
The Arsenal generals turned their heads and looked at them, and the scenes that caught their eyes made them frightened!
Mbappe arrives quickly!
Facing the rolling football and Karius who was attacking halfway through, Mbappe calmly made a fake shot. When Karius made a save, he pushed the ball to the front of the right and accelerated his body and rushed forward!
Under the gaze of everyone, Mbappe passed Karius!
Although it was almost zero, Mbappe still sent the ball into the goal with a push shot!
Mbappe rushed to the sidelines to celebrate, and the Reds fans in the stands of the New Wembley Stadium cheered him in ecstasy!
"Mbappe scored! He scored a goal from a small angle and scored a goal!
Liverpool scored first in the League Cup final and now they are leading Arsenal with one goal!
While Arsenal's offense was fierce, the formation was too high!
This gives Liverpool plenty of room for fast break!
This time, Liverpool played very delicately and smoothly from intercepting the ball to scoring, from offense to the final coordination of the frontcourt, with almost no delay in cross-pass transfer. Arsenal's tight defense cannot guarantee the defense line under the strong breakthrough ability of Liverpool stars!
Especially when Sane dribbled into the penalty area, Arsenal's midfielder and full-back failed to catch up with him!
Sane has obviously matured a lot this season than in the past two years. He is not only calm when threatening the offense to create opportunities, but also handles the ball very reasonably. He can always find opportunities and create opportunities for his teammates. It is not surprising that such a player Situ Yunbing praised him in front of the media.
Arsenal may have been a little too impatient in the face of the game today!
This is a final, and it is against experienced Liverpool, so you should be more cautious!
Now that the score is behind, Arsenal may not have much room to adjust. This is the cruelty of the final. The advantageous side will definitely give full play to the advantage of the leading side, while the lagging side will have to take greater risks to have the opportunity to turn the situation around!”
Situ Yunbing has been wary of Arsenal's sudden change of posture, which can easily allow Liverpool to follow the trend and lead the pace. If Arsenal has premeditated and precise deployment to play like this, it is likely to catch Liverpool off guard.
But in the end it turned out that Situ Yunbing was overthinking.
At this time, he realized that there was something wrong with Klopp's mentality!
And it's definitely a serious problem!
Klopp was anxious!
When he came to this League Cup final, he was completely in a state of "I want to stumble"!
As for the competition environment, situation, strength of both sides, and the advantages and disadvantages of technical and tactical collisions, he doesn't care at all.
The possible loss to Manchester City and the huge backward gap in the league standings really hit him hard at this stage, resulting in an imbalance in his mentality.
Situ Yunbing hoped that he could calm down at this time.
The season is not over yet, and Arsenal still has many games to face. The consequences of the failure of Soha are often messy and losing indecently. At that time, the mentality and energy they will spend to clean up the mess will probably be unimaginable.
Maybe if you do it well, you may have been in vain for years of hard work!
Klopp was a little dreamy at this moment, but the situation was behind in the score, which made Arsenal difficult to get on the verge of a tiger.
Arsenal can only maintain its previous crazy attack posture, otherwise?
It is impossible for them to have the effect of passing and controlling the oppression. Once the pace is slowed down and the offensive posture is reduced, then Liverpool will dominate the overall situation!
When Arsenal kicked back, they quickly launched a fast attack. Such performance made Situ Yunbing unable to help but shake his head.
He does not deny that Arsenal needs to strengthen its offense at this time, but Arsenal does not have a good offensive plan.
The thunder was loud and the rain was small, and the advancement was very fast, but when it came to the front line, it still wanted to break through Liverpool's defense by relying on the personal ability of the star or simple pass-through cooperation.
This is indeed a bit whimsical.
In the 21st minute of the game, Firmino barely shot and missed the ball when he was trapped in a heavy siege in front of the penalty area. It was a microcosm of Arsenal's performance in the first half.
Liverpool did not push too much and frantically when defending, but mainly relied on calm joint defense and regional control. Arsenal's performance in the siege was forced to make a choice.
In the 26th minute of the game, Arsenal's continuous pressing and attack after the opening, his physical fitness decreased slightly. After the intensity could not keep up, Liverpool quickly launched a fast attack. Their smooth transmission in the mid-front court made Arsenal exhausted on the defensive end!
Erikson knocked the ball back when he was hit by a clamp. Van Dijk killed the ball across the center line. After stopping and adjusting, he passed it out with a diagonal length, and the football flew to the bottom line on the left.
Sane quickly went down from the bottom to drive Bellerin back to the bottom line, and Sane directly knocked the ball back when touching the ball!
Robertson, who followed up, took the ball and cut in a transverse direction and went to the left of the penalty area. Milner rushed over to block and intercept him. Robertson shook his ankle during the judgment, and the football passed directly into the left rib of the penalty area.
Lewandowski's diagonal runner-up Lieutenant General Koscheerny blocked behind him, turned around and shot in half to shoot!
The football flew straight to the near corner of the goal, goalkeeper Karius performed steadily this time, blocking the ball from the near corner of the goal!
"Karius made a contribution! Lewandowski's shot was very threatening. Liverpool became more and more brave. Not only did it resist Arsenal's continuous attack, but the offense on the court became more smooth. This time the attack was launched by Van Dijk!
Liverpool's corner kick is now on the offense!”
Liverpool is indeed performing better and better. The key is that although the Arsenal offensive looks fierce, it has never allowed Liverpool players to show tension or make mistakes due to overwhelming pressure.
This itself is already very telling.
Arsenal cannot put Liverpool in an overall passive manner through the overall height, nor can they play their advantage in the local area.
Not only Situ Yunbing could sense Klopp's mentality imbalance, but now, whether it is the football critics who follow and observe Arsenal in the media commentator or the commentators in the studio, they must also criticize Klopp's preparations for the game today.
Sane took a tactical corner kick, which seemed to be a match with Eriksen and then crossed 45 degrees on the wing. However, when Bellerin rushed up, he dribbled the ball with a fake fax and then went to the front area of the baseline. Just as Arsenal was pressing forward, Sane suddenly kicked the ball and drew the ball in front of the goal!
The super fast ball speed caused the Arsenal defenders to dare to extend their legs to intercept even if they retreated. The first player Liverpool's front rush to grab the spot was Van Dijk, who was originally planning to compete for a header!
He took the opportunity to shoot the ball pad towards the goal, but the shot was too straight!
However, because the ball came very suddenly, Karius raised his hand and could only block the ball, and he could not control the direction of the ball popping out.
As a result, the ball happened to block Lewandowski, and the Polish center forward pushed the ball forward!
The audience saw the football flew into Arsenal's goal in the overcrowded Arsenal penalty area!
Lewandowski smiled and rushed out of the Arsenal penalty area, came to the corner kick area and opened his arms to celebrate the goal!
Liverpool fans are already in a state of madness!
Another champion is about to be won!
They are used to Liverpool's finals and are also used to the results of winning the finals.
Now that Liverpool is leading two goals, they certainly don't think there will be any accidents.
These stars on the court will not let the champion slip away, and Situ Yunbing on the sidelines will definitely not agree to win or lose!
"Wow! Lewandowski scored a header! Liverpool won another goal!
After Liverpool's tactical corner kick was taken, Sane quickly got a deadly pass from the side. Van Dijk had already won the goal in front of the goal, but unfortunately he played too well!
That was a shot for Karius!
But Karius lost his save, or he did not have enough reaction time. He blocked the ball in front of Lewandowski. The Red Army's God Front naturally accepted the gift and headed the ball directly!
Liverpool leads Arsenal two goals in the League Cup final!
The 2:0 score is already a very sure lead for Liverpool, and it is definitely a huge disadvantage with a slim probability of turning the table!
