"Qin Xiong scores a second goal! Liverpool leads Arsenal by two goals again!
This time Qin Xiong did not celebrate the goal either. I think at least on this point, Qin Xiong did a good job. "
"Martin, you're right. Compared to Arsenal's fans who are frantically booing Qin Xiong, Qin Xiong has never done anything excessive at the Emirates Stadium, not even a normal celebration. But I always have a feeling that Qin Xiong's non-celebration is more flamboyant than his celebration! "
"Yeah, look at how he's walking in such high spirits, it's as if he's already stepped on the entire stadium! Will the Emirates Stadium become riddled with holes after this game?
Haha, the score is now 1: 3, Arsenal is two goals behind, the first half of the game is not over yet! "
Wenger sat powerlessly in the technical area. At this moment, he had to admit, no longer concealing and quibbling, that he should not have let him go back then!
Qin Xiong walked back to the half of the field. Gerard reached out and high-fived him and asked, "Is that enough?"
Qin Xiong smiled and said, "It's good to win. The real enemy is in the next game."
The next game?
Real Madrid!
Gerrard asked because he couldn't afford to consume too much energy in this match.
Arsenal continued to organize a fierce offensive after the restart, trying to narrow the score gap before the end of the first half.
In the 42nd minute of the game, Henry dribbled the ball past Johnson on the flank and diagonally returned the ball to the front of the penalty area. Arshavin attracted Carragher and Alonso and passed the ball across.
Fàbregas, who plugged in from the back, was almost able to dribble the ball into the penalty area to form a one-on-one. Fortunately, Mascherano stretched out his leg to destroy the ball.
A minute later, Qin Xiong carried out a large-scale offensive shift in the midfield. Kuyt stopped the ball on the right side of the front field and played the attack back to the middle. Gerard followed up and stuffed the ball straight to Torres. The latter's shot in the penalty area was off target.
"At the end of the first half of the game, Arsenal is trailing by 1: 3 to the league leaders, Liverpool, at the Emirates Stadium. In terms of creating and seizing opportunities, Arsenal is obviously not as good as Liverpool. This has a more direct relationship with the quality of Arsenal's defense. On the other hand, Liverpool is distracted by the Champions League knockout stage next week. Of course, this does not mean that Arsenal does not have the Champions League to play, but Arsenal is obviously more nervous about keeping the top four in the league, so Liverpool has not shown their full strength. We can see this from the game. Let's see how the performance of the two teams changes after the midfield adjustment."
In the second half, the two sides switched sides and fought again.
Arsène Wenger knew that Arsenal had to make a decision as soon as possible.
Because Arsenal also had to play in the Champions League.
It was difficult to say whether they could get a slightly ideal result with Liverpool when they were two goals behind. Then, would they be exhausted to deal with the Champions League knockout stage?
That was definitely the worst case scenario.
Liverpool quickly helped Arsène Wenger make a decision.
In the 53rd minute of the game, Qin Xiong retreated to the middle and backfield. He, Alonso and Gerard played a continuous triangular pass to advance forward.
After passing the half, Alonso passed the ball to Qin Xiong. Qin Xiong stopped the ball and looked ahead. He then sent out a medium-long straight pass close to the ground!
The football rolled past the left side of Alexandre Song's body, and then passed through the gap between Eboue and Gallas!
By the time Gallas reacted, Torres had already received Qin Xiong's scalpel-like straight pass from the gap behind him diagonally.
Gallas retreated to press and snatch. Torres dodged the ball back. Then, he took a step to the middle and adjusted his shooting posture at the same time. He shot the ball towards the far corner of Arsenal's goal!
Almunia made a save, but Torres's shot was too tricky. The football went straight to the top right corner of the goal!
Torres saw the goal and turned to run to the sidelines to celebrate. He pointed to Qin Xiong in the distance and gave a thumbs up.
Comain walked to the sidelines. He was not far from Qin Xiong. He shouted to Qin Xiong, "Come down and rest!"
Qin Xiong turned to look at Comain with his hands on his hips. He hesitated for a moment before nodding.
Before this game, Arsenal was no longer Liverpool's rival for the title. How could there be a rival who was 16 points behind?
Liverpool's purpose was only to take three points from Arsenal.
Now that they were leading by three goals, Qin Xiong should be relieved. He should focus on the overall situation and conserve his energy to prepare for the next Champions League knockout stage against Real Madrid.
"Liverpool scored another goal at the start of the second half. We saw the skillful teamwork of Liverpool's midfield and also appreciated Qin Xiong's over forty yards straight pass. Torres felt great in the penalty area. He scored after passing Gallas.
4:1
Will Arsenal still have a chance? "
Just after Torres's celebration, Liverpool made a substitution.
Liela up, Qin Xiong off!
When Qin Xiong came off, all the Red Army fans in the visiting fans' stands applauded and cheered wildly for him. They whistled and waved flags, while no Arsenal fans booed anymore.
Perhaps they did not dare.
The Gunners fans should feel fear and awe from the bottom of their hearts for an opponent who put on two shots and a pass in less than 60 minutes to push Arsenal beyond redemption.
Qin Xiong came out of the field, took the thermal coat from Sammy Lee and put it on. He sat down on the substitutes' bench, drank two mouthfuls of water, and watched the game quietly.
Arsenal still had the idea of not giving up at home.
In the 67th minute of the game, Henry cut into the penalty area to receive Fàbregas's wonderful pass. Unexpectedly, he did not shoot but chose to cross, giving Nasri, who was behind the goal, a chance to make a contribution.
The French kid shot the ball into the goal and pulled a goal back for Arsenal.
4:2
Comain saw that the situation was not good and continued to deploy his troops.
This time he replaced Torres and brought on the defensive midfielder, Lucas.
To strengthen the defense.
After that, the game fell into a stalemate. Liverpool's offense was without two big killers and their power was sharply reduced. Arsenal was at a loss in the face of Liverpool's strong defense.
At the 75th minute, Wenger resigned himself to his fate and made a substitution to preserve their strength for a chance in the Champions League.
Time ticked by, and the competition had already become dull and uneventful.
"The last game of the 26th round of the Premier League has ended. Arsenal's home game against the league leaders, Liverpool, at the Emirates Stadium has come to an end.
After 90 minutes of battle, Liverpool defeated Arsenal 4: 2 thanks to Qin Xiong's brace and Torres' and Gerard's goals. Although Henry and Nasri's goals narrowed the score gap at one point, throughout the game, Arsenal was never able to suppress Liverpool with a clear advantage, which was the main reason for the Gunners' defeat.
Well, this round of the Premier League games is all over. As Manchester United only got one point, Chelsea and Arsenal both lost.
The leaders, Liverpool, extended their lead again.
Now the Red Army is eight points ahead of the Red Devils, Manchester United, 11 points ahead of the Blues, Chelsea, and … 19 points ahead of the Arsenal! "
