Chapter 73: Conquering Anfield

Wenger's rage is not without reason. Liverpool controlled the situation on the field in the first half, while Arsenal was unable to organize a decent offense at all. Although Xiao Qing scored a goal, it was more of a performance of personal ability outside of tactics, which could not conceal the team's serious shortcomings in the first half.

It is definitely impossible for Arsenal players to say that there is no change in their mentality. Being able to play in top giants proves the strength and potential of Arsenal players. They all hope to be better and they all hope to be able to win the championship. However, they also know the team's performance in the first half. Their performance is indeed a bit unbearable, especially the team is afraid of wolves in front of the team and the tiger is afraid of shrinking behind the tiger. This is also something that a team that wants to compete for the championship cannot allow.

It is true that Arsenal players are very young. They once made people question their temperament and mentality, which is also a major reason that hinders Arsenal from becoming better. However, although the Gunners players are very young, although Arsenal is a little soft in many cases, they are all young people after all, so they were inspired by head coach Wenger. The unique sharpness and unyielding temperament of young people also began to explode. They all want to prove that they are not soft-boys. They want to prove that they already have strong enough psychological qualities, so Arsenal players will work hard in the second half of the game.

No one spoke in the locker room, but Xiao Qing could feel some changes in his teammates. If we say that the Arsenal players were frustrated when Liverpool equalized the score, then the Gunners players who returned to the locker room were more powerless. Then the fighting spirit in the eyes of the Gunners players now is still very obvious, which is also Xiao Qing's confidence that the team will make changes in the second half.

In the first half, Liverpool's full-game pressing made Arsenal lose pace while running. Liverpool's confidence gradually increased during the game; home fans created a suffocating atmosphere for Anfield. Every tackle of Liverpool was accompanied by the roar of fans. Arsenal only had a few shots in the whole first half. This was also the reason why Wenger was furious.

The half-time game was completely different, and Arsenal quickly hit the pace of the game from the beginning; Xiao Qing, Fabregas and Al Shavin started more offenses. Although Liverpool's midfield and backcourt defense were still relatively stable, Arsenal players were finally able to play and fight on the court after putting aside the obstacles in their hearts. This is also the reason why Arsenal has become different.

Three minutes from the second half, Sarnia made a cross from the right, Al Shavin headed the ball from the middle but failed to hit the ball, and Kuyt at the back point cleared the ball. Arsenal immediately organized the second round of offensive. Fabregas's right foot shot in the penalty area was too straight, and Reina confiscated the ball.

Arsenal's fighting spirit exploded, and they were full of confidence and expectations for the team to score three-pointers at Anfield Stadium; the last time Arsenal won at Anfield Stadium was six years ago, and this time Arsenal will not allow this record to continue. They want to conquer Anfield Stadium and they want to prove that they are an excellent championship team.

In the 50th minute of the game, Arsenal once again took the lead in the score. Arsenal hit the ball to the right wing through the backcourt through the pass and cooperated. Nasri passed the ball and rolled the ball in front of the goal to find Walcott in front of the goal and touched Carragher slightly. Liverpool defender Glen Johnson intercepted at the front point and couldn't adjust it and accidentally blocked the ball into his own goal. Arsenal relied on the opponent's own gift to give him a 2-1 lead again!

Xiao Qing in the small penalty area was obviously stunned. But soon realized something, Xiao Qing turned around and laughed and celebrated with his teammates who were also excited. This goal was a decisive role in improving Arsenal's morale. Although the Gunners' players did want to perform more fighting spirit in the second half. However, receiving big gifts at the beginning of the game is definitely the greatest encouragement to Arsenal's players!

The Arsenal players were really excited. Wenger, who was sitting on the coach's seat with a stern face and without saying a word, kept clenching his fists at this time; this own goal was too timely for Arsenal. The Gunners, who had won the lead, were more confident that they could win the final victory in this game, and they would be the final winner of this game.

Liverpool was a little panicked after conceding the ball. Although they also started to counterattack again at this time, Arsenal, who had strong fighting spirit, not only strengthened their defense at this time, but also became more determined on the offensive end. They would not let the victory they won slip away like this. Arsenal could not make a mistake in the situation of leading twice.

In the 53rd minute of the game, Torres got the ball and broke through many players in a row, and then made a cross from the left side of the penalty area. Amunia saved the ball. Looking at Amunia holding the ball and clenching her fists and shouting, the Gunners' morale was greatly boosted, which was also a significant change compared to the lifeless Arsenal in the first half. The Gunners' players put aside their burden at this time.

In the 56th minute of the game, Fabregas' midfield spike changed backward and started to penetrate forward, but Liverpool's midfielder Mascherano flew down Fabregas. Although Mascherano received a yellow card warning, although his foul this time was very rough, it did not affect the fighting spirit of the Gunners players at all. This time, the foul did not cause the Gunners players to retreat at all. They once again started a firm attack.

Arsenal's changes were somewhat unexpected. Their completely different performances in the first and second half were obviously beyond Liverpool's expectations. Such a team with strong fighting spirit would obviously not be scared away by a foul. Arsenal showed the enthusiasm of young people at this time, and Arsenal, who exerted morale, launched a crazy attack.

In the 58th minute of the game, Fabregas broke through and passed the diagonally from the right. Liverpool full-back Glen Johnson's flying tackle was slowed down by a beat and did not touch the ball. Although Walcott failed to compete in the middle, Xiao Qing got the ball on the left side of the penalty area, and Glen Johnson, who was chasing back, wanted to make up for it, but Xiao Qing splashed the ball and avoided Glen Johnson's press. Without waiting for Glen Johnson to make adjustments, Xiao Qing quickly pushed the ball gently across the ball. Xiao Qing half turned around and shot with his right foot. The ball hit the post and entered the net.

The ball was straight at the goal. Xiao Qing's sudden shot caught Liverpool goalkeeper Renner off guard; Xiao Qing's resolute shot was something Reina had never expected. This is also the reason why Liverpool defenders had no time to block it. Because Xiao Qing is very determined now, because Xiao Qing now looks more decisive and without any hesitation, this naturally makes Liverpool have no more chances to remedy.

Three to one, Arsenal scored two goals in the fifteen minutes of the second half. Arsenal's firm attack in the second half made Liverpool's defensive strategy in the first half full of loopholes! The lead was expanded into two goals, and in such a key game, Arsenal naturally had more confidence in achieving the final victory!

Xiao Qing roared and rushed to the corner kick area, slid from afar to celebrate; Xiao Qing scored twice in this game and was definitely the biggest contributor to Arsenal's leading advantage. Although Xiao Qing didn't shoot many times in the game, the quality shot also made Xiao Qing more efficient, and naturally the threat was greater.

Xiao Qing's goal made the Gunners' players very excited, and they all rushed towards Xiao Qing; Wenger, who was originally sitting on the coach's seat, rushed to the sidelines at this time and shouted. Xiao Qing's goal made Wenger very confident. The team is getting better and better now. He believes that the team will be more competitive and Arsenal can attack the championship!

It would be understandable if Liverpool was more or less troubled by injuries in previous games and failed to win the game in the end, but in this home game at Anfield, Benitez sent the strongest Reds team, Torres, Gerald, Mascherano, Gran Johnson, Kuyt, Renner... waiting for the absolute main players to appear one by one last season. But the final result was obviously still unable to make the world come back. Anfield, who used to bully people, has now become a "score boy" and has no style of a strong team; this is Anfield"'s majesty has become weaker among cannon fodders, and Liverpool has become even more embarrassed and embarrassed at this time.

Arsenal, which expands its lead, is determined to win this game. Under such circumstances, it is naturally Arsenal's pursuit to break through Anfield Stadium and get three-pointers. Perhaps Liverpool will be trapped at this time, but Arsenal will not give Liverpool any chance. The victory in this game must be won!

In the 61st minute of the game, Glenn Johnson made a cross from the right, and Torres headed in the middle of the penalty area and missed the post on the right. In the 65th minute, Aquilani replaced Mascherano and Liverpool began the final counterattack.

In the 71st minute, Aurerio made a diagonal pass from the penalty area to the right. Kuyt got the ball and passed it to the cross and flashed the opponent and was obtained by Amunia. In the 79th minute, Ngog replaced Benayon. In the 80th minute, Aurerio took a free kick in the frontcourt, and Age shot with his back to the goal and missed the baseline.

Liverpool coach Benitez is powerless at this time. He has sent out the strongest lineup and has thrown his last trump card. Although Liverpool's determination to equalize the score at home is very strong, and Anfield Stadium is still full of fans' trust in the team. However, Arsenal strengthened defense at this time will not give Liverpool any chance.

Xiao Qing is very happy that the team will win at Anfield for the first time in six years. Arsenal is now going to score three points and once again attack the league leader in the standings. What makes Xiao Qing even more happy is that in this game, Arsenal has shown more team temperament, and the Gunners are more confident at this time. Because this is their first victory in a strong dialogue this season, Arsenal finally no longer retreats and is weak at this time!

Liverpool is already desperate. They have no chance at this time, and they cannot equalize the score from Arsenal who is united in unity. As the game time slowly fades, Liverpool can only accept the defeat in this game at this time.
