When Aurelio dribbled the ball to the flank in front of Arsenal's penalty area, the full-back, Sagna, was bound to block him. But when Sagna moved to the flank to return to his own defensive zone, the space in the flank appeared again!
Torres's rush in front of the goal led Arsenal's defensive line to retreat, almost pushing the defensive line to the limit of the depth zone!
Raúl inserted diagonally into the space in the flank between Vermaelen and Sagna, and Aurelio directly passed the ball diagonally behind Sagna. Raúl inserted diagonally and stopped the ball to knock back!
Qin Xiong, who had just rushed into the penalty area, received the ball and pretended to do a long shot. This shook Vermaelen, who rushed up, and he directly transferred his body's center of gravity to block Qin Xiong. But Qin Xiong's foot hooked the ball horizontally, and then he moved forward, directly forming a one-on-one situation with the goalkeeper, Almunia.
After Almunia left the goal, Qin Xiong's right foot pushed the far corner of the goal. The strength was not great, but the angle was tricky!
Koscielny also intended to fly to the rescue, but after the football rolled into the goal, he took a step back and also slid into the goal!
The atmosphere in the Anfield stands exploded in an instant!
The Red Army fans watched Qin Xiong score twice, and at the same time, let out an emotional roar!
"Liverpool's offense is too strong! This time they completely dismembered Arsenal's defensive line! "
"Qin Xiong scored his second goal of the new season! He has continued his excellent form in the World Cup into the new season, which is the best news for Liverpool. Nothing makes Liverpool F.C. happier than a superstar who can play consistently after entering his prime.
Martin, what should we say about Arsenal?
Wenger must pay the price for his actions in the transfer market in the summer. "
"That's right. After letting go of Gallas, Campbell, Senderos, Silvestre and the other defenders, Arsenal's defensive line can only rely on Vermaelen and the newcomer Koscielny. Then what? The first game is against Liverpool. This kind of game requires more experience and more tacit defensive cooperation. As a result, Arsenal's defensive line repeatedly panicked at key defensive moments! "
"The new season has just begun. I don't know how much Arsenal will have to pay for the defensive line in exchange for stability. Let's wait and see."
It could be said that Arsenal had been racking their brains to deal with Liverpool in the first half, but they still could not find the right way.
In other words, it was normal for the huge difference in strength to render them powerless.
At the end of the first half, Liverpool walked into the locker room with a two-goal lead.
Comain inquired about everyone's physical condition during the halftime interval. The new season had just begun, and some players still needed a proper rest.
The game came to the second half.
Wenger replaced Wilshere at halftime. The young prince should have felt the pressure of a top European competition. He could only comfort himself with the fact that he was still young!
Rosicky was brought on.
Arsenal's offense did not improve in the first 15 minutes of the second half.
Wenger showed courage and boldness and used the last two substitutions in one go.
And the way he substituted was slightly crazy!
Diaby and Eboue were brought off at the same time, and Walcott and Robin van Persie came on!
"What is Wenger doing? Is he telling the world that he has courage by substituting like this? "
"This is definitely not courage, but stupidity!"
"Rosicky, Walcott, Robin van Persie. Wenger has replaced all three midfielders, and then brought on two strikers and an attacking midfielder! Well, what about Arsenal's defensive line? Who will it be handed over to? "
"Maybe Wenger thinks that Vermaelen and Koscielny can still hold off Liverpool's offense."
"If that's the case, Liverpool won't be the European champions and Premier League champions!"
After 60 minutes, the game entered a rhythm that made all the spectators' blood boil!
Arsenal was crazy!
Liverpool were a little scared at first.
Because Arsenal had too many strikers!
Just the fan-shaped formation in front of the goal, and then the passes from the side were enough to make Liverpool panic.
But this panic disappeared without a trace in the 66th minute of the game.
Carragher used a header to clear Walcott's unreliable pass, and then Mascherano cushioned the ball and the football rolled to the midfield.
Gerard poked the ball to the left before Rosicky could.
Facing the wide space in the front field, Qin Xiong dribbled the football all the way to the front field.
Arsenal's rear defensive line wanted to cry but had no tears!
Wenger finally acted like a man, but it seemed that the way he used was to sell out the entire defensive line!
Yes, Sagna, Vermaelen and the others felt that they were abandoned by their teammates on the battlefield!
They did not care about defense at all and directly rushed forward to charge and break through the enemy lines!
It was fine to charge and break through the enemy lines, but at least show some results!
The ball did not f * * king go in, and the opponent fought back. Was this not equivalent to selling out all the teammates in the backfield?
Sagna could only rush up to snipe Qin Xiong, and Qin Xiong dribbled the ball in front of him. After two consecutive steps, he suddenly knocked the ball from behind to the middle and completed a sudden stop and change of direction at the same time.
Sagna was shaken to the ground. His change of center of gravity could not keep up with Qin Xiong's rhythm!
After Qin Xiong dribbled the ball to the middle of the front of the penalty area, Arsenal's lack of tacit cooperation on the defensive line was reflected.
Vermaelen and Koscielny rushed up at the same time, and the experienced Raúl ran in an anti-offside position to charge.
Qin Xiong picked the ball on the spot and sent it out over the top.
The two Arsenal center backs stopped at the same time and then turned their heads to look back, only to see the football fall lightly.
Almunia once again gritted his teeth and left the goal.
Raúl took a big step diagonally after stopping the ball and rushed past Almunia.
An empty goal!
Raúl pushed the ball into the empty goal with his left foot!
The Red Army fans in the Anfield stands cheered wantonly for Raúl's goal!
Raúl kissed his fingers and smiled happily as he turned to look at Qin Xiong. Qin Xiong caught up with him as he ran. The two men slid to the sidelines together and opened their arms to face the fanatical Red Army fans in the stands!
"Arsenal paid the price for their reckless madness!
Raúl killed the game!
His goal proved that he is still a treasure!
After the goal in the Community Shield, Raúl also started in the league tournament!
He wanted to thank his teammate Qin Xiong. It was Qin Xiong's calm pass that created this opportunity for him. Obviously, this was a seemingly simple goal. Arsenal also made a mistake. The two center backs did not know if they were going to create an offside position. In short, it was too easy for Qin Xiong and Raúl to link up.
Liverpool 3: 0 Arsenal!
I now have some sympathy for Arsenal. The new season has just started and they are going to suffer a crushing defeat! "
