Arsenal's defensive line might have thought that this was a sure-fire defense.
Torres could not overturn the situation!
As long as he dared to dribble the ball and turn around, Vermaelen and Gallas would intercept him!
But when Torres turned his back to the two players and used the inside of his right foot to knock the ball behind him, and at the same time turn around to start the move, Vermaelen and Gallas were completely caught off guard!
The football rolled through the narrow gap between the two center backs. Vermaelen pounced fiercely, and when Torres turned around to bypass him, Vermaelen slipped and fell to the ground when he suddenly braked!
“OMG! OMG! Fernando - Torres knocks the ball past him with his back! What a gorgeous and visually stunning performance! He has a chance to form a one-on-one! "
As the football rolled diagonally into the penalty area, Torres was already diagonally facing the goal when he caught up with the ball.
When he saw the goalkeeper, Almunia, abandon the goal and run towards him, he kicked the ball out from under his feet.
The football he kicked rolled through the big gap between Gallas and Almunia!
A cross pass!
Everyone in the stadium saw that Torres did not choose to shoot but passed the ball, and the football rolled to the back of the goal and was knocked into the empty goal with an arch kick!
The goal scorer stopped after the goal, and with a serious expression, he raised his chin and turned to face the midfield like a god of war.
Red Army number 7, Qin Xiong!
"Qin Xiong! He scored again! Oh my God, he scored in the second minute of the game, and he broke through Arsenal's goal at the Emirates Stadium!
How much does he want the Arsenal fans to hate him? "
"Most of the credit for this goal goes to Torres. He used his back to knock the ball past Gallas and Vermaelen. With Liverpool getting smoother this season, Torres's form is getting better and better, which is the best news for Liverpool. The most surprising thing is that as a striker, he actually started to take the initiative to score for his teammates.
There was absolutely no problem for him to choose to shoot the ball just now, but he still saw it and passed the ball to Qin Xiong, who ran into the penalty area in a better position. Qin Xiong's goal was very simple and easy. "
"Oh, the boos at the Emirates Stadium are even harsher. This is obviously aimed at Qin Xiong."
Since the goal had been scored, it was equivalent to the game entering a pause. Only then could Qin Xiong thoroughly feel the momentum of the entire stadium erupting with boos directed at him!
He stood in Arsenal's penalty area, and the surrounding Arsenal players looked at him with indifference and hostility. He could also see the ferocious Gunners fans in the stadium's stands baring their fangs at him!
He closed his eyes for two seconds. When he opened them again, he raised his chin a few degrees higher, and then the corners of his mouth raised into a devilish arc.
Kill the old owner?
So what?
Anyway, he was going to meet Real Madrid again soon!
Qin Xiong walked step by step to the midfield with that devilish smile. He shuttled through the crowd of Arsenal players, and his former teammates cast cold glances at him. When his Liverpool teammates rushed over, Qin Xiong would high-five them in celebration, and then continue to walk steadily to the midfield.
During this short journey, Qin Xiong had a monologue in his heart.
"Every fan who calls me to be a loyal player, you just love the club you love. For the benefit of the club, you ask the players to contribute their youth, passion, talent, and even sacrifice.
I'm sorry, I'm a selfish person, I love myself.
I'm not Qin Xiong of Ajax, not Qin Xiong of Arsenal, not Qin Xiong of Real Madrid, and not Qin Xiong of Liverpool.
But one day in the future, people will talk about Qin Xiong like this. The 18-year-old Qin Xiong made Ajax, the 20-year-old Qin Xiong made Arsenal, and the 22-year-old Qin Xiong made Real Madrid …
Maybe I'm too arrogant, but on my battlefield, I don't want to be humble! "
When Qin Xiong walked back to the half of the field and stood in the left winger's area, the boos at the Emirates Stadium subsided.
The Liverpool players faced Arsenal with vigor and vigor!
The Arsenal players were obviously out of their wits.
There was nothing worse than conceding the goal at the beginning of the game.
The captain, Henry, could not absolve himself from the blame.
He stubbornly insisted on going one-on-one with Qin Xiong. If it had been three years ago, Henry would have had a high chance of winning. But today, he lost without any suspense.
After Arsenal restarted the ball, Fàbregas began to slow down the pace of the game in the midfield and pass the ball between his teammates.
He knew that many of his teammates needed a break from the huge mental pressure.
Not to mention that Liverpool's own strength was strong, and their arrival at the Emirates Stadium put a lot of pressure on Arsenal. Just the fact that Arsenal was 16 points behind Liverpool in the standings, and that Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, and Everton could overtake Arsenal at any time to snatch the fourth place in the league, which was also the crisis of the possibility of qualifying for next season's Champions League. This also gave Arsenal a huge psychological burden.
Under the influence of multiple factors, they conceded a goal in the opening period and fell behind in the score. It was good enough that Arsenal did not collapse!
Fàbregas' approach was not wrong.
Liverpool, on the other hand, was much calmer. There was no need for them to fight for every inch of ground with Arsenal.
Because Liverpool had to take into account the Champions League knockout stage against Real Madrid in the middle of next week.
Taking the lead in the score at the Emirates Stadium laid a good foundation for their advantage.
Next, they just had to grasp the rhythm and timing of the transition between offense and defense and play fast attacks with the opponent.
In the 12th minute of the game, Qin Xiong received Aurelio's straight pass from behind in the midfield. He immediately dribbled to the middle after stopping the ball.
This made Arsenal's defensive line a little confused.
Qin Xiong gave up the flank and changed directly to the middle. It was not in line with common sense and did not belong to cutting inside!
Before Fàbregas could get close, Qin Xiong directly used his speed to break through and shake him off.
When Diaby and Alexandre Song saw Qin Xiong coming, the two did not dare to neglect and solemnly formed a joint defense to stop Qin Xiong.
Just before the two men got close, Qin Xiong passed the ball into the penalty area!
When he turned from the flank to the middle, Gerard rushed straight forward. With Kuyt cutting inside the penalty area, Liverpool formed three attack points in the penalty area!
Qin Xiong's pass went to the right side of the penalty area.
Kuyt and Vermaelen jumped at the same time to compete. Kuyt took the lead to touch the ball. He pressed the ball down and headed it to Gerard nearby.
Gerard received the ball at the position just entering the penalty area and blasted the goal with a heavy kick!
Gallas only focused on Torres, while the two defensive midfielders intercepted Qin Xiong. Gerard's shot was too easy and free.
The football, like a cannonball, flew into the upper right corner of Arsenal's goal in the blink of an eye!
Almunia did not have time to make a save!
