With Manchester United and Chelsea having already lost points, the battle between Liverpool and Arsenal did not seem to present a treacherous and unpredictable situation.
Fourteen minutes into the game, the visiting team, Liverpool, led Arsenal by 2: 0!
Gerard's heavy cannon scored a meritorious goal.
After the goal, Gerard stretched out his arms and roared in high spirits to celebrate the goal.
"Whoa ~ ~! Whoa ~ ~! Whoa ~ ~!!! "
Shouting excitedly again and again, Gerard enjoyed the applause and worship of the crowd in front of the visiting fans' stands.
Qin Xiong also ran over and hugged them together, but his eyes were set on the Arsenal players in the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners who were a little dazed and lost their fighting spirit.
Now Arsenal was really in a bit of a daze!
"Is it going to be another massacre? This … If they are defeated by Liverpool again at the Emirates Stadium by a big score, how is Wenger going to explain it to the fans? This is absolutely unacceptable. It is impossible for Arsenal to win the title, but they must not kneel down to Liverpool, the favorite to win the title, at their own doorstep! "
"It's hard to say, really hard to say. Over the years, we have been saying that Arsenal is too young. Although Henry is the captain, he does not have the iron-blooded influence in the locker room like the former Vieira and Campbell. After all, he does not belong to that style of player. Now Arsenal needs to erupt with the blood in their bones! "
"Can it erupt? Will it erupt? If it can erupt now, what was it before? Maybe the question we should ask is: Do they have the boiling blood to fight in their bones?! "
Wenger wiped his face on the sidelines. He gestured to the players on the field to cheer them up and also asked them to speed up the pace of the game after the restart and put pressure on Liverpool.
Comain sat in the coach's seat and chatted leisurely with Sammy Lee.
The essence of the goal just now was reflected in the sublimation and improvement of Liverpool's skills and tactics. After Qin Xiong and Gerard switched positions, Liverpool's offense would be simpler and rougher, allowing Qin Xiong to play freely in the middle and front field, while Torres, Gerard and Kuyt only had to rush to the front line to look for gaps and be ready to seize the opportunity at any time.
After the game started again, the atmosphere in the Emirates Stadium had fallen to the bottom.
The Arsenal fans were extremely disappointed. Many fans shook their heads and sighed.
They even felt that today's competition was a joke.
Just let them watch for 15 minutes?
Furthermore, he had lost!
Yes, there were still 75 minutes left in the match, but not many Gunners fans thought that Arsenal could make a comeback!
It was not known whether it was because Liverpool was too strong, or because Arsenal was bound to lose every game in the BIG4 civil war this season.
But Arsenal's players still had their own dignity.
After the game started again, Arsenal immediately sped up the pace of the game.
In the 17th minute, Henry dribbled and rushed forward on the left flank. When Kuyt came to entangle from behind, he and Arshavin made a wall combination. The two men ran in a cross position and continued to move forward along the left flank.
Johnson saw Arshavin dribbling and Henry cutting inside the penalty area. He consciously tried to block Henry, but Arshavin dribbled directly in front of him and then blasted out with a kick!
Alonso's block was a step too late and the football flew towards the Liverpool goal!
Reina made a wonderful save and blocked the ball in the penalty area with one hand!
On the other side, Nasri, who had charged into the penalty area, rushed over to make up the shot, but Skrtel was one step ahead and kicked the ball out of the end line with a slide tackle.
"Arsenal finally made a decent attack. This is the Arsenal we are familiar with. The quick play on the flank is sharp and effective. The speed and fluidity of the attack have begun to rise."
Fàbregas' corner kick was cleared by Carragher's header.
The football was intercepted by Qin Xiong on the outside and Nasri immediately came to intercept Qin Xiong.
Qin Xiong stepped on the ball and took three steps horizontally, just avoiding Nasri's outstretched foot. Arshavin also rushed from the side and Qin Xiong's heel kicked the ball diagonally to the left flank.
Aurelio flew forward from the flank to launch a quick attack.
Arsenal's entire army retreated to the backfield like a tide, and the only Liverpool players attacking were Torres, Qin Xiong, and Aurelio. The other players had not run up yet.
Torres, who was running at the front, looked back to observe the situation. He pulled directly to the right front. Aurelio delivered a diagonal pass after crossing the half of the field and accurately sent the ball across the half of the field to Torres's feet in the right position of the front field.
At this time, most of Arsenal's retreating army had returned to the half of the field.
Torres stopped in front of Clichy and then passed the ball to the end line. He shook off Clichy, but it was a little difficult for him to shoot again.
At this time, he picked the ball in front of the end line and passed it back to the middle outside the penalty area.
Vermaelen, Song, and Diaby lined up in the penalty area to form the last line of defense. None of the three dared to rush out to grab the ball.
Because the target of Torres's pass was Qin Xiong.
They were afraid that if one of them rushed out and was bypassed, the remaining two would basically be disarmed and surrender.
Qin Xiong looked at the football that was about to fall in front of him from 30 yards away from the goal. In different directions behind him, Fàbregas and Eboue were rushing towards him. If he stopped the ball, he could be caught in a tangle.
Qin Xiong's thinking was very clear. This ball was to be a volley shot in the air!
There was no need to think about anything else!
He would use this ball to completely kick Arsenal out of the championship group!
Shatter the Arsenal Factory's league championship dream!
In February!
The football that fell in front of Qin Xiong's eyes was kicked towards Arsenal's goal by a wonderful volley!
The football drew a large parabola and flew into the penalty area after rising. It began to fall rapidly near the penalty spot!
The football, which originally looked like it would fly into the stands, was falling towards the goal no matter how one looked at it!
Almunia seemed to have a chance to make a successful save. When he pounced out to block the ball with one hand, he only heard a loud noise above him.
Bang!
The football hit the crossbar and bounced out!
The football that bounced out flew towards Vermaelen, but he was facing Arsenal's goal. The sudden change caught Vermaelen off guard. He hurriedly lowered his head, but his head still managed to head the ball!
The football flew in the direction of the goal again.
Vermaelen was scared silly, but he was lucky. The football crossed the crossbar and flew into the stands.
He did not make a mistake.
Seeing the football fly into the stands, Qin Xiong stood in place and grinned. He said to himself, "It's a little short. It doesn't matter. There's still another time."
The Arsenal fans at the Emirates Stadium were already in a state of shock.
"Qin Xiong's beautiful volley almost penetrated Arsenal's goal again. Unfortunately, his shot hit the crossbar and the rebounded football was almost headed into his own goal by Vermaelen. Arsenal's goal is really dangerous."
