Arsenal restarted the ball and Fàbregas began to frequently send the ball to the right flank when he organized the attack in the midfield, trying to make Nasri a threat.
The French starlet had strong self-confidence, even if he had been played by Qin Xiong.
But so what?
Which offensive player had not been bypassed by the opponent's top offensive player?
This in itself was not linked to the level of strength.
In the 21st minute of the game, Nasri dribbled the ball and broke through Aurelio on the right flank. He passed the ball from the bottom. Unfortunately, Arshavin, who received the ball in the middle, did not have the aerial advantage in front of the goal. The football was easily cleared by Agger.
Mascherano passed the ball diagonally to Qin Xiong's feet.
Qin Xiong looked at Song, who ran from the defensive midfielder position to help defend against him, and the corners of his mouth hooked up into a devilish smile.
As Song cautiously approached him, he remained in a state of stillness.
But when Song was two meters away from him, Qin Xiong moved. He ran forward as if he was ignoring the football. But after taking a step with both feet, he picked the ball up from behind with both feet and threw it forward!
Rainbow Pass!
Song originally wanted to follow Qin Xiong closely, but after seeing Qin Xiong's Rainbow Pass, he was momentarily distracted, and Qin Xiong's burst of acceleration caused him to be shaken off by Qin Xiong!
"Wow! Qin Xiong used the Rainbow Pass to break through Alexander Song!
This kind of pass will greatly damage the opponent's confidence. Song, are you okay? "
After Qin Xiong bypassed Song, Sagna had already rushed up. Before the football landed, Qin Xiong directly jumped to head the ball across the field!
Gerard received Qin Xiong's pass in the middle. Denilson rashly ran over to perform a flying tackle. Gerard passed the ball back over him, and then charged diagonally into the middle of the penalty area!
The Liverpool players forced Arsenal's penalty area. At this moment, all the Arsenal fans were frightened.
They showed worried expressions.
The team had just conceded a goal!
How did he end up in danger again?
Qin Xiong's Rainbow Pass had completely penetrated Arsenal's midfield defensive line, which was the key to changing the offensive and defensive situation.
Gerard dribbled the football forward to the front and back of the penalty area. He looked at Gallas and Vermaelen, who were trying hard to keep calm.
Gerard keenly captured Vermaelen's movement to head forward after he made a pose for a long shot. Then, Gerard sent out a diagonal kick.
The football rolled through the space between Vermaelen and Traore in the ribs, followed by Kuyt's strong diagonal insertion into the space in the ribs of the penalty area.
Kuyt was already observing the situation in front of the goal before he touched the ball. He saw Torres running diagonally and had already run behind Vermaelen. He had a good space in front of the goal and Kuyt decisively crossed the ball to the middle of the goal.
Almunia made a contribution this time. He took the risk of running outside and gave up defending the goal post. Then, after Kuyt's cross pass, he pounced forward and blocked the ball with his arm!
Torres swung his leg to shoot next to Almunia, but he kicked empty air!
The football bounced to the back of the goal. Gallas wanted to break the siege, but he was a little far from the football.
Gallas turned his head and was suddenly scared out of his wits!
Qin Xiong!
Qin Xiong actually cut inside like Kuyt, but Gerard's pass to Kuyt had a higher success rate and finally succeeded.
Now, he was looking for an opportunity at the back of the penalty area. He really did not expect the opportunity to really come!
But there was almost no time left for him to react. He instinctively used his foot to sweep the ball towards Arsenal's goal.
But the moment he touched the ball, Qin Xiong cried out in his heart: the bouncing football was kicked by him!
The football with a strong rotation flew over the crossbar and into the stands, which almost made Qin Xiong feel a little embarrassed.
"Oh my God! Qin Xiong missed a great opportunity in front of the goal! He was facing an empty goal. As long as he pushed the ball into the goal, he could help the team expand their lead. At the same time, he would have scored a brace. It's unbelievable that he actually kicked the ball out! "
"Hehehe, he wanted to kill with one shot. This ball, in fact, he could have adjusted it a little. But sometimes players are like this. After getting too excited, they just want to follow their instincts and deal with the ball cleanly!"
At this moment, no Arsenal fans would taunt Qin Xiong for missing a good opportunity. At least they had not recovered from the shock of Qin Xiong's rainbow pass just now.
The Liverpool fans would not be harsh on Qin Xiong. Even the Anfield Stadium echoed with applause!
Qin Xiong himself looked serious as he raised his hand to his teammates to apologize.
He himself could not tolerate such a low-level mistake.
Indeed, he might have been eager to score a goal just now. He handled the ball almost without thinking. If he could have chosen to stop the ball, this opportunity would have been converted into a goal in all likelihood!
Arsenal escaped a disaster. The team still focused on passing and cutting in the positional battle.
Fàbregas began to show signs of leaning to the right. He and Nasri had a consecutive two-over-one from the midfield in the 27th minute of the game.
Gerard was the first to be shaken off by the passing and cutting combination. Then, as Mascherano retreated, Fàbregas plugged in between Mascherano and Alonso. Nasri actually passed the ball to Fàbregas' feet in the narrow space!
Carragher was restrained by Arshavin's running position. Fàbregas plugged in and then flicked the ball sideways with his dexterous ball control skills, which just happened to cross Agger horizontally.
This was not enough for Fàbregas to pass Agger. His explosive speed was not very strong, and the success rate of his breakthrough in combination with the ball was not very high, but he had an angle to shoot.
So, Fàbregas did not hesitate to kick the mountain to warn the tiger!
The football rolled along the turf toward the bottom right corner of Liverpool's goal. The focused Reina pounced horizontally and narrowly blocked the ball with one hand!
Fàbregas saw that his shot was just a hair's breadth away from the goal and immediately held his head in regret!
But Wenger on the sidelines kept applauding. He was encouraging his players to cheer on.
Arsenal's fans also applauded for Fàbregas, hoping that the team's next shot could be converted into a goal.
"It's really strange. Fàbregas doesn't seem to trust Walcott. For a long time in the past, he has been more active in coordinating with Nasri and letting Arsenal focus on attacking Liverpool's left flank defense. Although he almost knocked on Liverpool's goal just now, it doesn't mean that his style of play is smarter."
"Martin, you're right. Liverpool's defense on this side is relatively more stable. Mascherano's defense is more efficient than Alonso's after all. Arsenal's idea of playing on the right flank is not as good as playing on the left flank. But they're still playing like this. Maybe Fàbregas thinks that Walcott's speed and impact are not enough to pose a threat in the absence of absolute space."
"Let's continue to watch the game. Arsenal must be playing like this because if Nasri is completely unable to form a defensive interference against Qin Xiong, hehe, I don't know if Arsenal can score or not, but they have to worry about their own backyard. There lives an Eastern Mystic Dragon called Qin Xiong!"
