This player is not professional

Chapter 216
Klopp on the sidelines also seemed very helpless, but he didn't get angry. He knew that if he got angry blindly at this time, it might affect the mentality of the players.

Lin Yi just ran back from the frontcourt, ready to wait for the start of the game. He believed that Mignolet would be able to adjust his mentality.

After the Arsenal team celebrated, the game resumed.

The first threatening attack after kick-off came from Liverpool at home.

Lin Yi faced Cazorla and Gibbs' attack from the left, and after shaking the angle, he passed the ball to Sterling, who was leaning against Chambers in the penalty area.

Sterling did not stop the ball, but directly returned the ball to the front of the penalty area, where Royce plugged in at high speed!
Facing the incoming ball, Royce volleyed vigorously from the outside of his instep!

The ball flew towards the far corner of the goal with an obvious arc at an extremely fast speed!

Szczesny in front of the goal made a save, but failed to touch the ball. Just as the Liverpool fans behind the goal were about to celebrate the goal, they saw helplessly that after the ball drew an arc, it rubbed against the ball. The outer edge of the post missed the goal!
"Oh~~~Royce's long-range shot missed the post, maybe he is now regretting that the arc of the instep on the outside of his foot was too big!"

Royce was indeed annoyed at this time. He scratched his hair, as if he was complaining why he didn't just use the back of his foot to slap it.Then you might get in!
It's a pity that there is no medicine for regret in this world.While Royce was still regretting the ball, Arsenal had already launched an attack quickly!

Cazorla, who had been closely guarding Lin Yi, sneaked into the frontcourt. He showed a rough image that was different from the defensive end when he got the ball, and sent a precise through ball to the left rib of the penalty area!
Sanchez jumped in at high speed and appeared on the ball path. Facing the incoming ball, he directly pushed his right foot into the far corner!
This time, Mignolet in front of the goal performed very well. He made a wonderful side attack and blocked the ball out of the baseline!

"Brilliant save! Mignolet will make up for it!"

After Arsenal's corner kick, although Chambers won the header, he smashed the ball into the stands!
Three minutes later, Liverpool also got a corner kick.

Lin Yi's right corner kick accurately found Skrtel in the penalty area, Skrtel hit the ball back, and the captain of the Red Army sent the ball to the near corner with a powerful header!

Szczesny in front of the goal had already surrendered, but Cazorla standing on the goal line saved the team. He directly blocked Gerrard's header with his body.

However, the danger has not been lifted, and the ball is still in the small penalty area.Another Liverpool central defender Lovren appeared on the ball's route, and he took advantage of the opportunity to kick the ball towards the goal!

Lovren's shot also had no target. He just bit the bullet and kicked the ball vigorously towards the goal. As a result, this time the ball was blocked by another Arsenal player Debig on the goal line!

There was chaos in the box and eventually Chambers kicked the ball over the touchline.

"Oh~~~Liverpool's luck is too bad. Two shots from close at hand were blocked by players on the goal line of Arsenal's team!"

Klopp on the sidelines helplessly spread his hands, not getting such an opportunity, he really has nothing to say!

The Liverpool fans in the stands also sighed regretfully.

The Liverpool central defenders Sktel and Lovren, who shot consecutively just now, also looked depressed.

Those who waste opportunities will be punished.This sentence has been proven repeatedly on the football field. This time, after the Liverpool team missed two consecutive scoring opportunities, they were also punished at the end of the first half!
Arsenal started from the backcourt, and after a series of coherent passes on the ground, the ball went to the feet of Derbyg on the left.

Sanchez came over to meet, and Debig was going to pass the ball, but Leiwa blocked his passing route.

Debig didn't panic, and calmly protected the ball. Although he became famous as a left back, he played as a winger in the youth team, so his foot skills are also very good.

Seeing that Leiwa and Manquillo were surrounded by Debig, Sanchez just ran into the penalty area!

And Debig also took this opportunity to pass the ball from Manquillo's crotch!
"Beautiful pass! Facing the defense of the two, Debig still sent the ball out, and Sanchez was unguarded at this time!"

Sanchez didn't stick the ball after receiving the ball. After attracting Royce's supplementary defense who returned to the penalty area, he pushed the ball horizontally to the middle of the penalty area!
At this time, Giroud used his body to lean on Skrtel to catch the ball. He suddenly used his left foot as a supporting foot while facing the goal. After turning 180 degrees on the spot, he volleyed with his right foot!
This difficult shooting action showed Giroud's excellent physical talent to the fullest, and it also caught Skrtel who was defending him by surprise!
The ball almost rolled towards the far corner of the goal against the outside of Skrtel's feet!
The sight of Mignolet in front of the goal was also strictly blocked by Skrtel in front of the goal. When he saw the ball making a save, he was obviously a bit slower!
The ball hit the inside edge of the far post and bounced into the net...

Boom~~~ The Arsenal fans behind the goal broke out their cheers immediately.

"goooooooooooooooooal!!! Giroud! Giroud! Giroud!!! The French guy broke the goal of Liverpool with a very difficult turn and shot, helping Arsenal overtake the score! This is from a few gunners A wonderful match. The Gunners who have been in trouble recently have shown their tenacious fighting spirit as their coach said! They have taken the lead at Anfield. If they end with this score, they will be closer to Liverpool. The point gap between them!"

Wenger also stood up excitedly from his seat. Originally, he had already accepted the result of a half-time draw, but he didn't expect the team to score a goal at the last moment!
The impact of this goal on the Liverpool team is self-evident. The large stands at Anfield fell into silence, only a small group of Arsenal fans were celebrating happily!

After scoring the goal, Giroud quickly rushed to the stands, celebrating his goal with a roar!
Lin Yi was depressed at this time. The first half was about to end, but the opponent scored a goal. This feeling is not good.

The Arsenal team celebrated wildly for more than a minute, and did not return to their own half until the referee intervened.

When the game resumed, the fourth official on the sidelines had already begun to adjust the electronic cards for stoppage time, and it seemed inevitable that Liverpool would fall behind and enter the dressing room.

After serving again, Lin Yi and his teammates also launched a fierce attack, hoping to seize the last moment of the first half to equalize the score.It's just that the Arsenal team was also smart at this time. They pressed the formation slightly and prepared to hold the score at the end of the first half.

Although the current Arsenal team is not as strong as it was in the previous years, it can be said that the team in Wenger's hands now has no obvious shortcomings. When they want to defend well, their defense is not so good. So torn!

Although Lin Yi tried several times for personal breakthroughs, the Arsenal team was under strict defense inside and outside the penalty area, and did not give him a chance to shoot or pass the ball. In the end, when the referee blew the whistle to end the game, The score was still 1 to 2, and Liverpool entered the locker room behind!
Going back to the locker room, the two teams are two very different situations.

The Arsenal players were all smiling and relaxed. After all, they were satisfied with the half-time lead.

As for the Liverpool players, they were not happy. Lin Yi and his teammates went back to the locker room with a sullen face.

After returning to the locker room, Klopp's face was not good.After seeing the players all seated, he began to speak: "Looking at the scene in the first half, I thought I was playing away at Highbury? Whether it is offensive or defensive, I can't see that you must The determination to win! Do you feel satisfied with the advantage of leading by seven points? I think you have forgotten that this is not the last round of the league. We have not won the championship in advance, and the long league has just begun! Let alone seven Even if it's seventeen points, it's not the time for us to relax!"

"To put it bluntly, we have played smoothly all the way to the present this season, and we seem to be in a good state! But once this situation is broken, we may fall into a period of low ebb. There are too many examples like this I don't want to see this situation, what I want to see is that we will maintain this state until the end of the season, until we win the championship! Those infatuated fans in the stands have been waiting for the Premier League championship for so many years , do you want them to continue to wait?"

After Klopp spoke directly, the Liverpool players bowed their heads in shame.In all fairness, their performance in the first half was indeed not as good as the away Arsenal team.

Everyone thought that the strength of the Arsenal team was not as good as their own. In the beginning, the team took the lead early, which made everyone think that this game would be won easily like the previous leagues, but they did not expect to be chased by the opponent twice. From leading to trailing.

At this time, the Liverpool players in the locker room are all very dedicated professional players, and they are also players who are full of desire for victory and championships. After being reprimanded by Klopp, they did not have any dissatisfaction, but responded promptly Made a reflection!

Klopp also saw the performance of the players, and he did not continue to reprimand them.His previous purpose was to arouse the fighting spirit of the players, not to train them to be dejected, and it is too late. Klopp knew this truth, so he began to arrange the tactics for the second half: "Now the score is behind, we have no choice. I hope everyone can strengthen the offense and show your determination to win this game. Of course, this does not mean that we can give up defense. It is definitely not a wise choice to play against Arsenal desperately. You can understand Do I mean?"

Lin Yi and his teammates nodded one after another, expressing that they understood!
"Understood, go back to the field and regain the lead! Win this game, don't give your opponent a chance, the top four teams are all stumbling blocks for us to compete for the top four!"

……

The 15-minute rest time passed quickly. After the fans released water and ate, the players of the two teams also returned to the court one after another.

After the start of the game, when Arsenal hadn't fully entered the game state, Liverpool launched a fierce attack!
Less than 5 minutes into the second half, Liverpool sent the ball into Arsenal's goal!

After Lin Yi took the ball from the left, he decisively cut inside, and after continuously dribbling the ball horizontally past Cazorla and Flamini's defense, he directly shot a low shot from a close angle!
The ball was blocked by Szczesny in front of the goal with a side throw, but the ball bounced to the unguarded Sterling. Sterling kicked the ball directly to the penalty area when facing the incoming ball!
The enthusiasm of the Anfield fans was instantly ignited, but the referee's actions did bring the celebrations of the Liverpool people to an abrupt end!

"The referee signaled that Sterling's goal was invalid! It seems that the moment Lin shot, he seemed to be in an offside position!"

Indeed, the linesman's high-flying flag proved it.

However, the Liverpool fans could not accept the penalty. They booed neatly in the stands, expressing their dissatisfaction with the referee's penalty.

Sterling also found the referee with an excited face to argue about.

Of course, the referee will not change his penalty because of these.

The slow-motion replay on the TV broadcast screen also proved this point. When Lin Yi shot, the Arsenal players rushed out of the penalty area to block it, but Sterling was dragged at the end. Clearly in an offside position!
Although the goal was invalid, Liverpool still showed their determination to win.

In the next period of time, it was still Liverpool who pressed Arsenal to play again.

"Lin breaks through to the bottom...a cross!"

"Sterling outflanked the ball, failed to hit the ball, and the ball leaked into the middle..."

"Firmino header!"

"Oh~~~ The ball was headed too straight, and it was directly caught by Szczesny!"

……

"Lin took the ball from the left...is he going to break through? No, he crossed the ball to the center!"

"Royce received the ball, and instead of shooting directly, he lobbed the ball into the penalty area!"

"Firmino leaned on Mertesacker and volleyed directly!"

"Oh~~~ The ball was higher than the crossbar, Firmino couldn't hold it down!"

……

"Rewa took the ball from the right, he suddenly cut inside..."

"He passed Flamini and shot from long distance!"

"The ball is slightly weaker, and it was easily obtained by Szczesny!"

……

In the second half of the game, one-third of the time was spent unknowingly under the overwhelming situation of the Liverpool team.

The Liverpool fans in the stands were also cheering hard for the players, hoping that the team could take advantage of this momentum to equalize the score.The Liverpool players are also bent on scoring goals.

However, they just missed the goal again and again!
