Football’s First Defender

Sturridge's excellent scoring state this season has continued.

Unlike some forwards who are good at abusing food, Sturridge can guarantee his excellent offensive efficiency no matter who his opponent is, no matter what kind of second-generation defense line he faces, and how good goalkeeper he faces. This is the most important thing.

In the face of Manchester United, Sturridge, you can score goals, facing Arsenal today, Sturridge completed his task of averaging a goal in the first half.

In Sturridge's personal data statistics, the average number of goals per game of the giants is even higher than the average number of goals per game against many mid- and downstream teams.

This is the big scene killer.

This time, the counterattack was initiated by Yang Feng with a long pass directly from the backcourt. Sterling threatened with the ball from the wing. The cooperation between the Seagulls and Suarez made it possible for Sturridge to receive the ball at the end. Mertesacker defended alone.

In the case of 1v1, Sturridge has plenty of room for his personal abilities.

Using his flexibility compared to Mertesacker, Sturridge can make full moves and get rid of offense.

Once you have space, you can finish the shot directly without any hesitation. Sturridge's shooting skills finally helped him to hit the goal. He passed Szczesny's ten-finger pass and made the final goal. ball.

Liverpool, who was a guest at the Emirates Stadium, was the first to score the goal after being suppressed by Arsenal's offense for a long time, which really surprised the tens of thousands of "Gunner" fans at the scene.

After that, naturally there were endless boos, hushing to Sturridge who was celebrating.

This kind of boo from the away fans, Sturridge has heard many times in the game since his transfer to Liverpool. The noise in his ears is not enough to interfere with Sturridge’s celebration. For Turic, these sounds are more like an accompaniment to his mechanical dance.

Arsenal are behind 0 to 1, which also allows Liverpool to stick to the previous tactics.

You can even put more defensive force on the defensive end and try to hold the lead.

Although Liverpool have not been known for their defensive skills in the past few seasons, this season, with Yang Feng, who has performed as well as ever, and Mignolet, who can devote a lot of dedication to the goal line, Liverpool definitely has Stronger defensive strength than usual, and the increase in the number of zero seals at the beginning of the season is the ironclad proof of Liverpool's defensive strength.

When Arsenal re-started the ball and prepared to look for opportunities to attack again, they found that Liverpool were organizing a tighter defense line to deal with Arsenal's upcoming "indiscriminate bombing."

For the Arsenal players, the game has now taken place, they have occupied a lot of possession, created a lot of offensive opportunities, and also have a few good shots, but they were shot at home by Liverpool just like that. Yes, score a goal.

Arsenal's offensive players are unwilling. This is the first battle of the list. It is the first time Arsenal has the opportunity to become the leader of the Premier League after many years, and it will impact the Premier League championship.

As long as they beat Liverpool, as long as they beat Liverpool, then Arsenal will be the best team in the Premier League after a quarter of the league schedule.

Professor Wenger, who doesn't use the court, wastes words too much. The Arsenal players, after falling behind in the score, are already a little crazy.

Between several players in the midfield, they began to use a faster passing rate to try to better tear apart Liverpool's defense.

Although the faster passing rhythm will cause the passing success rate to begin to decline, for Arsenal players, if they are behind at this time, they do not have to play as steady as before. Now Arsenal needs to score. The ball needs to break Liverpool's gate.

And if there is a mistake in the pass, or if it is interrupted, it is just a better chance of being counterattacked by Liverpool. For the current Arsenal attacking players, they can only choose to believe in their defensive teammates behind them, and they, The goal is to score a goal first, equalize or even overtake the score before Liverpool strikes back again.

In the second half of the first half of the game, it was true that Liverpool made two considerable counterattacks, but behind Liverpool's counterattack threat was the Liverpool defense, which has been suffering from a more threatening Arsenal attack than before.

Arsenal's offense has always been aimed at Liverpool's defense, and the ribs between the centre-back and the full-back are hit hard.

Taking advantage of this game, Liverpool’s two full-backs both have insufficient defensive experience and lack of strength. Arsenal’s offensive players continue to use their defensive players and their defensive awareness to run without the ball. Run interspersed behind them.

It is not a fixed interspersion of one or two players. Before, the Arsenal players would also make some cross runs in the middle to confuse them, and then suddenly jump forward to create a final run that threatens offensively.

Especially players like Rosicki and Cazorla, when Giroud attracts part of their defensive attention in front, they constantly intersect the gaps on both sides of Giroud, as long as they can receive a pass from a midfield teammate. You can immediately create a certain attack opportunity.

The Arsenal midfielder, the best passer, is of course Ozil.

For Özil, it is not like many modern midfielders. Apart from organizing offenses, they have good breakthrough ability, or the ability to hit goals. In the professional arena, after so many years of hard work, Özil is even today. The long-range ability that most midfielders possess has not been developed.

Ozil's worth of more than 50 million euros is based on his own greatest strength, which is passing.

Whether it is a quick counterattack or in a positional battle, Ozil's final kick can pass the ball to the teammate who has reached the opponent's core area, making this time extremely threatening. Running can really be transformed into a very threatening offense, even a very threatening shot.

Özil received a pass from Ramsey during the lateral move, turned around and pushed the ball directly to the deep right side of the penalty area.

And Rosicky, formally from the side, suddenly cut in diagonally.

Ozil's pass passed through the defense of many Liverpool defenders, even Yang Feng, unable to do anything about the pass by his side, reacted, wanted to make a kick, but could not touch the incoming ball.

Rosicki directly received the pass from the front, and kept the ball directly from a small angle close to the right baseline.

I have to say that Rosicky's kick is extremely threatening. Although the angle is not great, Rosicky has full force and excellent angle control, and went straight to the back post.

At the critical moment, no Liverpool defender can stand in the path of the gods, and Mignole still has to be alone.

He fell to the ground quickly with his fists and fisted sideways. Although the ball was fast, Mignolet still hit the football with his double boxing and fought the ball out.

Even though the inertia of the ball made it fly to the back point area due to the powerful shooting force, but under the block of Mignole, the ball eventually slipped out without flying into the net.

A dangerous attack by Arsenal was blocked by Liverpool.

Throughout the first half, Arsenal have been creating opportunities, but in the end it was difficult to translate into goals.

Countless people are looking forward to the matchup. After Liverpool scored the first goal, Arsenal did not score a goal. This makes this matchup that countless people look forward to, and there is a high probability that there will be a small goal.

In the first half 0 to 1, the away Liverpool took the halftime lead.

Although Liverpool has not lost in the Premier League so far this season, considering Arsenal's strong offensive strength and the youthfulness of Liverpool's two full-backs in this game, it can be seen from the real-time "data" Most people are still optimistic about Arsenal's victory in the second half.

Although fans who like Liverpool don't want to admit it, the actual situation of this game is that Arsenal seized the weak points of Liverpool's two wing defenses and achieved an absolute advantage on the scene.

How to completely solve the defensive weaknesses of the two wings is something Rogers needs to continue to consider during the intermission.

However, being unavailable is the most embarrassing thing for Liverpool at present. Rogers did not expect that the team's two full-backs would be unable to play at the same time.

It is Rogers' decision whether to choose to defend by the defensive player again, or to use the current lineup and fight the opponent's counterattack.

From the second half of the first half of the game, has been entangled to the intermission, after thinking about it, in the end Rogers chose to retain the team's offensive firepower.

Mainly Arsenal’s offensive firepower, which also maintained a high scoring rate this season, and generally speaking, this passing style team is best at using constant running and interspersing to create a tiny offensive space. You can get an excellent kick threat.

Given the degree of air leakage on the two sides of Liverpool in this game, it is not easy for Liverpool to really achieve a bronze wall.

Indeed, Liverpool held the score in the first half, but that was when the players were physically strong and both Yang Feng and Mignolet performed extremely well. With the decline in physical fitness on the defensive end, Arsenal players will create a good performance in the second half. More, better opportunities.

At that time, it is really impossible for Yang Feng and Mignole to block every ball.

So instead of abandoning martial arts and sticking to defense, Rogers is more willing to retain his team’s offensive firepower and use the players’ powerful counterattacks to ensure that Arsenal’s defense threatens, so that Arsenal players will still have scruples even when attacking , Replacing defense with offense, relying on the threat of counterattack to help defense do better.

For Professor Wenger, in the second half of the game, there are not so many tactical choices.

Since the team couldn't score in the first half, it was just a matter of luck, so just continue to stick to the offensive play that you set.

Wenger believes that things like luck are conserved, and that they are sitting on their own home court. There is no reason. Arsenal will back it and really cannot break Liverpool's door.

For Arsenal's tactical summary in the second half, it was "attack! Attack! Keep attacking!"

With a faster-paced attack, the Liverpool players can be completely exhausted on the defensive end as soon as possible, so that Arsenal can occupy a greater advantage on the field as soon as possible.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, the conservation of luck Wenger expected appeared.

Many dangerous offensive opportunities in the first half were blocked by Yang Feng or Mignole, or the goal was missed.

In the second half, Arsenal's second wave of attacks made up for the regret that they did not score in the first half.

The first wave of Arsenal's attack ended with Sarnia's wing, which was directly destroyed by Yang Feng.

This was followed by a quick counterattack from Liverpool, but this time, when Gerrard and Lucas walked on the ground, they made a mistake when passing the ball to Suarez.

Ramsey's excellent defensive selection directly cut off the pass.

Ramsey then dribbled the ball from the backcourt and pushed forward quickly, but instead hit Liverpool with a counterattack.

Ramsey dribbled the ball directly across the half-court and continued to move forward. Before Lucas stepped forward to intercept the position, Ramsey leaned towards the through ball on the right side, looking for Sarnia in front of him.

After the last assist came forward, Sarnia, who had not returned to his defensive position, rushed directly to the front in this counterattack.

The outside accelerating to get the ball, completely thrown off Flanagan's Sanya on the wing, and directly in the acceleration state, kicked the ball and passed the ball into the penalty area.

A slightly backward arc~www.readwn.com~, Yang Feng and Scott, who had already returned to the small restricted area at full speed, could only quickly stabilize their inertia, and walked outside to chase the landing point.

Giroud's reaction was faster and he retreated faster, but he couldn't reach the landing position.

The landing point was too close to the penalty zone line, and Sarnia's passing speed was very fast, which did not give Yang Feng and the others too much time.

But this ball may not find the high point of Giroud.

In this empty area in the Liverpool penalty area, there were no players from either side in this counterattack.

However, outside the restricted area, there were people still running fast to the point of impact.

Unlike Yang Feng and the others rushing forward, they have to adjust their center of gravity and retreat in the opposite direction. People outside the penalty zone can always ensure that they accelerate forward.

"The third brother Cazorla!"

Cazorla jumped forward and leaned forward and headed straight for the goal!

The ball flew flat to the goal, the ball was extremely fast, but it did not threaten Mignole.

Yang Feng has already adjusted his body shape, and in the process of grabbing to the landing area, he happened to be in the line of Cazorla's header.

It's just that Cazorla exerted enough power, and then with the power of Sanya's passing, the ball was extremely fast, Yang Feng only subconsciously reacted and blocked the football.

At that moment, Yang Feng couldn't control where the ball fell.

The ball bounced back to the other side.

Yang Feng immediately made a second reaction to make a relief, but his body was more flexible, but Cazorla, who was also excellent in the second reaction, moved first.

After landing, move horizontally in three steps and two steps, take off directly, and volley with his right foot in the air to complete the goal.

"GOAL!!!"

"Cazorla!"

"Scored the equalizer goal for Arsenal."
