Football’s First Defender

Ramsey's long shot hit the goal, so that fans on both sides of the focus of the game felt the feeling of double ice and fire.

For many kops, the team's temporary lead in this strong matchup in the first half not only made them believe that Liverpool will not only be able to retreat in the away game today, but may even directly win and establish themselves in the league. A further lead in the standings.

For the "Gunners" fans, the fact that the team won in the first half without scoring or even fell behind did worry them that Arsenal could not break Liverpool's iron barrel formation. Now the league has a great prospect, if it is really lost by Liverpool. In this way, winning at the Emirates Stadium will definitely cast a shadow on Arsenal's title race this season.

But now, with Ramsey's long-range shot in 61 minutes, Arsenal had a hard time attack in the first half to no avail. In the second half of the short ten minutes, Arsenal scored consecutively. Goal, overtake the score, let Arsenal become the current leader of the game.

The Liverpool fans are disappointed, and the Arsenal fans are caught in a frenzy of cheering and celebration.

Rogers on the sidelines was a little disappointed with the team's defense and regretted his previous tactics.

Rogers thought that Arsenal's first half of the attack did not cause any substantial trouble to Liverpool's defense. For Rogers, it seemed to him that Liverpool's safety could limit most of Arsenal's attacks by defense.

So since you can rely on defense to retreat steadily, when you have a lead, why bother with Arsenal?

Rogers' original plan was to use the containment power of the 3s to ensure the threat of the team's counterattack, and then rely on the threat of the counterattack to contain some of the Arsenal players in the defense.

But the reality is that Arsenal has the absolute upper hand in this mutual harm model of Arsenal's main attack and Liverpool's main counterattack.

Liverpool had a lot of counterattacks in the second half, and they also formed an excellent counterattack opportunity, but Liverpool's frontcourt players did not find a chance to help the team further expand the score.

Instead, it was Arsenal, the players in the second half were extremely capable of seizing opportunities.

Cazorla’s supplementary shot and Ramsey’s long-range shot made it possible for Arsenal to take about 15 minutes in the second half with half an hour left to complete the on-court score. .

Now, the offensive pressure is on Liverpool's side, and Liverpool, which is behind, has nowhere to go.

First of all, for Liverpool, the problem to be solved is the possession of the ball.

In today's game, the defensive pressure of the two full-backs affected the performance of their midfielders.

In order to be able to control the ball and match the strength of Arsenal's five midfield, Rogers made drastic substitutions and adjustments.

The first is to replace Sissoko with Koroture and put on a tactical system of three central defenders.

Then Coutinho replaced Sterling, the team made some substitutions and adjustments, directly changing the formation to 352.

The three center guards guarded the restricted area in the middle, with Flanagan on the left and Henderson on the right.

In the middle area, Lucas is in charge of defense, Gerrard is in charge of scheduling, and Coutinho, who has returned from injury, is a free man in the midfield. He can play his personal abilities and look for opportunities to find teammates to pass. ball.

The striker is still Sturridge's partner Suarez.

After Liverpool completed such a change of formation, what stood out was that they had to actively compete with Arsenal for possession of the ball and for the dominance of the offense. Now Liverpool must use offense to justify themselves.

When Rodgers' substitution adjustment was completed, although the original intention was still to increase Liverpool's ball-handling ability, so that Liverpool could attack the ball.

But in terms of overall offensive strength, since the wing players are not optimally configured and the team’s tactical proficiency is not very good, the team’s offensive system under the 352 formation, especially the use of two wings, Maybe not so skilled.

However, when the team is behind, what Rogers mainly wants to do is to use Coutinho and the small-scale cooperation between Sturridge and Suarez to launch the offense based on the strong personal abilities of several people.

The other players try their best to cooperate with the attack of the three.

What stands out is the small-scale offensive coordination, not the team's overall offensive tactics.

Liverpool’s changes immediately changed the team’s competitiveness in the midfield, allowing the team to immediately start a battle for possession of the ball with Arsenal in the midfield.

Arsenal, which has always occupied the advantage of possession, immediately underwent greater midfield pressure after Liverpool's transformation was completed.

In the comparison of the strength of the two sides in the midfield, from the beginning Arsenal dominated, and began to transform into Liverpool becoming the dominant side.

Among them, they have their own advantages in the number of players invested by Liverpool, and they also have more enthusiasm for the players when Liverpool is behind.

With the support of possession, Liverpool was suppressed for most of the time. In the final stage of the game, they also began to try to master the offensive initiative.

On the other hand, Professor Wenger saw that the team could no longer take advantage of the midfield, and began to let the players shrink the defense line ~www.readwn.com~ to do a good job of the team's defense.

Now that Arsenal has the lead, Wenger also intends to do a good job of the team's defense through substitutions and adjustments to hold the lead.

Because they are both good offensive teams, Wenger knows very well how terrifying Liverpool's scoring explosive power can be.

There is still close to half an hour before the end of the game. At this time, if you continue to fight against Liverpool or fight in the midfield, you will give Liverpool a more relaxed attacking opportunity. For Liverpool, it will definitely take advantage of the fast The rhythm of offense and defense creates a lot of offensive opportunities.

If Liverpool, like Arsenal, show explosive scoring ability in a short time, then Arsenal's lead in this ball is really not easy to see.

Taking advantage of Liverpool's two full-backs are not starting players today, they are destined to be affected at both ends of the offense and defense. Wenger directly asked the players to reclaim the defense line and guard the penalty area and the center.

Due to the lack of assists of the full-backs and Liverpool's ability to attack tough battles, this game will definitely not be so good.

In this way, Arsenal will have a higher success rate to defend the game.

Now, it is Liverpool’s turn to face the opponent’s “bus defense”. Although Coutinho has just returned from injury, as a player known for his breakthrough ability, Coutinho’s ability to get rid of the ball is Extremely strong.

It is different from Sterling who rushes on the wing by speed, causing a threat of passing.

Coutinho’s offensive starting point is almost always before Arsenal’s penalty area. No matter how many defensive players are marking, Coutinho’s technical ability and ability to change rhythm can make him have an excellent offensive performance. As a result, Coutinho can create a greater offensive threat directly in the central area than Sterling, who has been replaced.
