As a good offensive playmaker, he must have his own ideas, and Fàbregas was no exception. Although he could not be called a master, it was simply something that a mediocre playmaker would do when it came to organizing an attack.
After the attack from the corner kick failed to threaten, Fàbregas ran to the backfield to participate in the defense.
He kept telling himself to be patient as he ran, be more patient!
The opportunity will appear!
Liverpool's pace of the game obviously began to accelerate.
In the 32nd minute of the game, after Alonso and Aurelio passed each other twice, he suddenly passed the ball straight to Gerard in the front field, who knocked the ball horizontally to Qin Xiong on the left flank under Song and Denilson's double team.
Qin Xiong was even more daring. He directly chopped the ball without stopping the ball, and the football flew straight to the other flank of the field!
In the empty area on the right flank, Johnson came up to assist.
He easily stopped the ball from Qin Xiong. When the ball burst forward at an explosive speed, Johnson could not help but want to give Qin Xiong a thumbs up: the ball was passed so comfortably.
"Beautiful transfer, Qin Xiong made Liverpool's offensive transfer faster, so that Arsenal's defensive adjustment time is reduced!"
After Johnson assisted, he came in front of Traore and passed the ball horizontally to Kuyt, who cut inside.
Arsenal immediately tightened the defensive line. Kuyt took a step back after stopping the ball and observed at the same time. He then passed the ball diagonally back to Gerard, who then passed the ball to Qin Xiong's path to cut inside!
When Arsenal's defenders saw Qin Xiong's tendency to cut inside, everyone was frightened. They were afraid that Qin Xiong, who rushed up quickly, would directly lead the ball and break through the entire defensive line.
Therefore, Gallas and Sagna tightened the defensive line in an attempt to stop Qin Xiong's advance.
But Gallas' movement exposed an obvious gap in the defensive line.
Qin Xiong ran on the inside cut line, and the moment he touched the ball, he directly stuffed the ball!
Torres widened the distance between him and Vermaelen as he ran horizontally. When he received Qin Xiong's pass, Torres raised his leg to shoot. Vermaelen could only slide in front of Torres and use his body to block Torres.
Even the goalkeeper, Almunia, moved towards this side, but Torres used his left foot to pull the ball from behind him. Then, he nimbly turned around and took a step towards the ball.
Vermaelen looked back after the slide, and what he saw was Torres's shooting stance. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Almunia's position in front of the goal. He exclaimed in his heart: It's over!
Yes, it's over!
Almunia exposed a huge gap in the right half of the goal, and Torres easily pushed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal. Almunia knew that he was powerless to reverse the situation, and did not even make a move to save!
Torres began to run to the sidelines after the shot, and the high-spirited Red Army's Holy Child celebrated the goal with a domineering sliding kneel.
At this moment, the Red Army fans in the Anfield stands felt extremely happy amidst the cheers.
"Liverpool scored the second goal!
Torres broke the goal, with an assist from Qin Xiong!
I have to praise Torres's calmness in front of the goal. He used a fake to confuse Vermaelen and Almunia, and then swayed to create a better space. After adjusting, he easily shot and broke the goal! Liverpool's positional attack is even smoother now! "
"Arsenal seemed to have two defensive midfielders today, but in fact, Denilson did not make a significant contribution to the defense. Alexander Song alone could hardly support the defensive role in front of the penalty area. This is also the mainstream of modern football development. The demand for two defensive midfielders is getting higher and higher. This shows how crucial and important it is for Liverpool to keep Alonso before the season!"
Arsenal's players saw the Liverpool players celebrate the goal again, and they were a little disappointed.
The battle in Anfield was more difficult than expected, especially for the defensive players in the backfield. They tried to let the offensive players in the front field support the defense more to relieve their pressure.
But this was not the fundamental reason for the gap between the two teams.
Walcott was a little unhappy. He walked up to Fàbregas and whispered, "You should at least pass me a few good balls and let me try. I'm going to catch a cold on the left side!"
Fàbregas whispered to him, "I know."
Do you understand?
In fact, he always knew in his heart.
Wenger began to fold his arms across his chest on the sidelines. His frown showed that he was not optimistic about the situation.
Comain did not completely relax. He applauded the goal and then shouted twice for the team to pay attention to maintaining a good distance in the formation. It was a taboo to over-invest in the attack and disconnect the formation because of the lead.
The game restarted and Arsenal became more cautious.
Liverpool was unforgiving and launched a new round of attacks frantically.
In the 37th minute of the game, Qin Xiong advanced to the edge of the penalty area from the left side. He was caught in a pincer attack by Song and Trent Traore. At this time, he protected the ball and turned around, then passed the ball back to Alonso.
Alonso repeated the same trick and quickly shifted the attack again. Kuyt cut inside to create space for the right side to plug in. Johnson, who was in high spirits, ran wildly. After receiving Alonso's pass, Johnson lifted his leg at a 45-degree angle on the flank.
His pass into the penalty area was not scrambled by Kuyt and Torres. Instead, it was cleared by Vermaelen's vigorous header.
The football that was headed out fell at Denilson's feet.
The Brazilian protected the ball and turned to pass the ball. The scene made Fàbregas almost curse out loud because Gerard almost intercepted the ball at Denilson's feet.
Fortunately, he passed it out in time.
Fàbregas turned and ran forward. He controlled the football that rolled from behind and dribbled it forward to attack.
Arsenal's quick attack was like a wave!
Fàbregas deliberately dribbled to the right front. Nasri rushed ahead and made a cutting inside posture.
When Fàbregas pretended to pass the ball, Liverpool's defense was completely deceived by him!
Not only this time, the feint of his pass seemed to be intended to create a chance for Nasri, but it was also to confuse Fàbregas's tendency to drift to the right for a long time!
Fàbregas passed the ball out, not to the right side of the penalty area, but to the left side in front of the penalty area!
Walcott, who ran faster than Arshavin, rushed into the left side of Liverpool's penalty area.
Liverpool's defenders realized that Arsenal was going to play on the left side!
After all, Johnson had not returned to his defensive position and the left side was more open!
Fàbregas's eyes bloomed with a sharp look. He had high expectations for this attack.
When Walcott stepped into the penalty area, Carragher, Alonso, Mascherano and Agger all rushed to Walcott and surrounded him!
Walcott made a surprising move at this time. He knocked the ball with his heel and passed it back!
