In the Anfield stands, fans organized at the start of the season to hang banners with a bust of Qin Xiong, accompanied by the text: "Red Army from China!"
At this moment, amidst the tsunami-like cheers, Qin Xiong's popularity and adoration by the fans at Anfield shocked the outside world!
"Anfield's darling, Qin Xiong, scored the first goal for Liverpool!
He also opened his personal goal account!
This is a perfect team goal.
In front of Arsenal, who is known for playing team football delicately and fluidly, Liverpool is more like a master at the peak, using the way that Arsenal pursues to break through Arsenal's door! "
"Andy, you're right! Liverpool's goal is simply fantastic!
After the football was passed by a number of players in the front field, it completely disrupted Arsenal's defense. Then, in the creation of a fatal blow, Torres ran to cover and Qin Xiong and Raúl completed the wall combination!
In terms of grasping the final kick, it must be said that Qin Xiong is already a world-class striker!
He did not allow the goalkeeper to react, and Almunia's hasty blocking action was still a beat too slow.
This goal also shows us the changes in Liverpool's offense in the new season. They are more varied and no longer concentrate their offense on Qin Xiong's left flank like last season. Instead, they are more explosive and can tear apart the opponent's defensive line through comprehensive oppression in the front field! "
"Comain is still refining the tactical routine that combines team and individual views. We can all imagine that if the opponent evenly distributes their defensive power, then it will be a big advantage for Liverpool to destroy the defensive line locally through individual ability.
What should Wenger do? What should Arsenal do?
They definitely don't want the team to start the new season in such a way. "
Wenger frowned on the sidelines. He shouted at the players to strengthen the team's pressing!
Wenger still did not back down!
In fact, after he came to the British battlefield 14 years ago, he made his fortune by relying on defensive counterattacks.
However, after three consecutive years of glory from the 0304 season to the 0506 season, he believed that the team could pursue higher goals. After moving forward, he was unwilling to go back.
Another stubborn old man!
Arsenal stepped up their pressing in the middle and front of the field. The two teams that could play quicksilver attacks suddenly made the game more like a traditional English game.
The confrontation was extremely intense.
In the 26th minute of the match, Gerard was pulled to the ground by Wilshere during a scramble. Gerard immediately stood up and roared at Wilshere.
Gerrard naturally wanted to intimidate Wilshere by "bullying the weak".
However, Arsenal's young Crown Prince was not afraid of Gerard. Instead, he had a quarrel with Gerard.
The referee ran over to quell the dispute and awarded Liverpool a set piece.
Liverpool's offensive quality was clearly better than Arsenal's, but they were a little lacking in their grasp of the final kick.
Two minutes later, Raúl received Qin Xiong's diagonal pass in front of the penalty area. He then bypassed Vermaelen to finish the shot. The football was directly confiscated by Almunia.
After another three minutes, Torres ran diagonally in the penalty area to receive Gerard's straight pass. He turned halfway and volleyed the ball into the net beside the goal.
Arsenal could only create shooting opportunities through the forward plugging and dribbling of the wingers.
Their teamwork was difficult to carry on smoothly.
Nasri and Arshavin were still active, while Chamakh ran aimlessly for a long time. He did not appear in the camera and became an invisible man in Arsenal's formation.
Qin Xiong suddenly withdrew and approached the middle to join forces with Alonso to control the field.
Arsenal's pressing was strong. Alonso found it difficult to support the midfield alone. Qin Xiong decisively supported him.
Wilshere, Arshavin, Nasri, Eboue, and Diaby formed a defensive encirclement of the midfield. It would have made the midfield a stalemate, but after Qin Xiong withdrew, Liverpool regained their footing and gradually took control of the game's rhythm.
Wilshere, as the offensive organizer, naturally observed how the opponent organized the attack.
Alonso, Qin Xiong, and Gerard continued to pass the ball in the midfield. They ran without the ball, ran into gaps to receive, and then passed the ball again.
They looked very relaxed. They passed the ball accurately and ran actively. The distance between the players was always well maintained.
This caused Arsenal to expend more energy in the scramble, and it was easy to cause Arsenal's defensive formation to lose its tightness.
In the 39th minute of the game, when Qin Xiong passed the ball to Alonso from the side and then ran diagonally to the middle, in front of Alonso, to receive Alonso's pass, Arsenal's midfield defense seemed to become a little angry.
Diaby and Eboue came together to double-team Qin Xiong, and in front of the penalty area behind them, Raúl retreated to receive, so there was no one to mark.
Sagna and Clichy immediately rushed forward to act as a barrier.
In their view, if Liverpool lacked a flank attack, they could temporarily act as defensive midfielders to resist Liverpool's attack.
Seeing this, Qin Xiong's heart calmed down.
As Gerard was in the right position of the front field, Arsenal's defensive line would still be a little wider.
Then the gap on the left side was too big!
As many people closed in, Qin Xiong kicked the ball on the spot, and the football flew from the dense crowd to the left side.
Arsenal's defenders turned their heads to look back and were shocked when they saw Aurelio shuttling through the no man's land on the left side of the road.
Aurelio's gap was too big!
Wilshere only reacted at this time. Qin Xiong's pass was amazing, and the audience applauded it!
This was the real talent of a strategic organization!
It was not an accurate pass, a penetrating straight pass, or a mid-long distance pass to change the direction of the attack.
Qin Xiong, Alonso, and Gerard used repeated and seemingly inefficient short passes to constantly provoke Arsenal's defensive line to create a better attacking environment.
When the timing was right, that key pass was absolutely impactful in the eyes of the audience. But behind this wonderful pass, it was the embodiment of the overall organization's strategic thinking!
Wilshere did not have time to marvel because he saw that after Qin Xiong passed the ball, Qin Xiong and Gerard immediately rushed forward.
It was not only to create space for the pass to provide a favorable environment for the teammates to push forward the attack, but also to provide a better impact space for the attack point to plug in from behind!
Now, Qin Xiong and Gerard's Ghostbusters broke through Arsenal's midfield defensive line.
And Raúl and Torres, who were originally in this area, also began to look for openings to actively run into position!
Liverpool's attack suddenly presented the shocking impact of an enemy at the gate!
