1459 There is always a record in front of you
When Liverpool led Arsenal 3-0 in the first half, Wenger might have delivered an intense speech in the locker room, perhaps he was intensively formulating a second half reversal counterattack plan.
But after the two sides changed sides and fought again in the second half, he suddenly found that Liverpool had substituted!
Qin Xiong was replaced!
All the fans were shocked!
"Liverpool actually chose to substitution during the halftime break, and Qin Xiong, who played a hat trick in the first half!
Is this really unimaginable, is something unknown happening in the locker room?
However, Qin Xiong was sitting on the bench very relaxed, and there was no negative emotion written on his face.
What exactly happened?
Wait, Gerald was replaced too!
What the hell is Koeman doing!”
The ones who were replaced were Tiot and Lucas!
Liverpool's formation in the second half has not changed, but it is still 451.
However, the forward who was at the forefront became Kuyt.
Kabaye moved to the front midfielder position, and three defensive midfielders lined up in a row.
Tiot, Mascherano, Lucas.
Alonso sits in the central defender and Kabaye echoes the midfield.
Wenger couldn't understand it any more.
He turned his head and looked at Koeman, who was standing on the sidelines, parallel to him.
What does this mean?
Do you look down on Arsenal?
Or do you think you are sure to win?
Koeman stood on the sidelines with his hands in tact, watching the situation on the court.
He really doesn't think of looking down on Arsenal, or thinks that the overall situation has been decided.
Liverpool's pressure is not formed in this single game, but by the combined pressure entering the second half of the season.
He has to consider the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals.
That game is more important than this league!
There is no doubt.
Because of this, he wanted to retain his strength and replace Qin Xiong and Gerald with three goals, allowing the two to attack the team in the second round of the Champions League 1/8 final a few days later.
The steel midfielder set up by Liverpool is fully committed to blocking Arsenal's attack, and then Kabaye and Alonso deliver shells to Kuyt.
Van Persie, who has been very popular recently, is particularly helpless on the front line. He is surrounded by Liverpool players. Whether he retreats or not, the situation is almost the same.
He can't retreat to the midfield, right?
Arsenal's offense was much smoother in the second half, but Liverpool's defense was still difficult to break.
It is even difficult to even have dangers in the scene.
On the contrary, Arsenal, after 70 minutes of the second half, made a lot of room for Liverpool to fight back due to his anxiety and stress.
Unfortunately, Kuyt's condition is no longer as good as that of the past. Today he missed two excellent opportunities. Kabaye also had a wonderful long-range shot outside the penalty area and was beautifully saved by Szczesny.
When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Wenger felt deeply powerless when he looked at the score on the big screen.
3:0!
Liverpool seemed to beat Arsenal without any effort at home.
Liverpool really cannot pay too much attention to Arsenal. Perhaps some pragmatic mid- and lower-level teams are more threatening than Arsenal, because Liverpool has lost the most points on mid- and lower-level teams this season!
After the game, Koeman commented on the score and said: "We did not try our best, but we were 100% involved in the game. Our seriousness and efforts paid off. Being able to win was a good result. This will inspire us to continue moving forward and be more confident in achieving a reversal and turnaround when the second leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals arrives."
Wenger was speechless after the game, and he didn't know how to explain the current situation.
The more Arsenal wants to defeat the opponent, the more thorough the Arsenal loses!
Because Arsenal's defense is really bad, as long as the opponent plays fast breaks and counterattacks in a targeted manner, it can catch Arsenal off guard.
The most hit is to lose to Arsenal striker Van Persie.
In his opinion, Arsenal's competitiveness in England has fallen to an unbearable level.
When facing the three strong teams of Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool, Arsenal seemed to have no power to fight back.
This seems to be no longer directly related to the individual differences between players, but also related to comprehensive technical and tactical conflicts and on-site decisions.
Liverpool continued to lead the Premier League standings after Liverpool beat Arsenal.
After 27 rounds.
Liverpool scored 64 points.
Manchester City scored 63 points.
Manchester United scored 60 points.
Tottenham Hotspur points 53 points.
Chelsea scored 46 points.
Arsenal scored 46 points.
Newcastle United 43 points
Liverpool has made a series of game adjustments after defeating San Siro in mid-February, and the team's condition has improved significantly before Milan's visit to Anfield.
Reds fans spontaneously held a cheering ceremony before the Champions League 1/8 finals. They wanted to unify their pace to create an atmosphere of home court in hell in the game!
On the evening of March 8, Anfield was filled with lights, and Reds fans filled the stadium with magnificent singing before the game.
The song "You will never walk alone" echoes every corner of the court.
When Liverpool and A-Milan are in the player channel, Liverpool players can clearly hear the singing in the stadium, which makes their inner excitement quickly mobilize.
In the player channel, Milan's top striker Ibrahimovic glanced at Qin Xiong, who was full of fighting spirit. Starting from his and Qin Xiong onto different stadiums from Ajax, they each had their own goals.
Ibrahimovic only won once, which was the first leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals in the last round.
Today, if Milan can eliminate Liverpool at Anfield, the sensation it creates will shock the entire European football world!
Liverpool is the European champion for two consecutive years!
Under the leadership of the referee team, the players of the two teams walked into the stadium together.
Anfield Stadium turned into a boiling noise.
The Red Army fans made wild cheers in the stands, holding up the banner and shouting loudly. The fans in the stands nearby kept shouting to the A-Milan players, "I want to beat you up today"!
They are creating pressure on Milan and inspiring the Reds Liverpool!
The kickoff ceremony was held, and the theme song of the Champions League sounded on the court.
The camera swept through every player.
For Milan, today may be able to play the role of the regicide to create a miracle, and for Liverpool, today is a key battle to defend the throne!
Whether the glory of the European arena in the past two years depends on whether we can pass the A-Milan level today and suppress the "rebellion" of the Red and Black Legion!
Qin Xiong kept his eyes closed during the kickoff ceremony, as if he was meditating.
As a superstar who has broken many records, including creating many records of his own, there are always many records that will still be in front of him.
It doesn’t matter, Qin Xiong has ambition to break it one by one!
If he can win the Champions League this year, he will tie Hento's Champions League championship number!
At the end of the Champions League theme song, he opened his eyes, his sharp eyes full of ambition and fighting spirit! (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
