Qin Xiong went head-to-head with Szczesny under the eyes of the crowd, as if he was stepping on a demon's rampage.
When Szczesny took a step out, Qin Xiong, with his keen senses, made a prompt decision to shoot.
This was the moment when the goalkeeper's reaction was the weakest, because the opponent's mind was already carrying out the order, and he was not ready to go all out to save.
A tricky volley kicked the ball to the lower left corner of the goal. Szczesny moved a step in the direction of the far post, and before he could save, he already knew it was too late.
The football hit the inside of the goalpost and bounced into the goal!
Anfield cheered thunderously and the fans were ecstatic.
Qin Xiong ran to the sidelines to celebrate. He held his head high as he patted the team badge on his chest and made a gesture to make the Liverpool fans raise their heads as well.
No matter how big the difficulties were, they would overcome them one by one!
Because they were united as one, and their will was as strong as an impregnable fortress!
"Liverpool opened the scoring at home. After a successful interception in the midfield, Liverpool immediately launched a fast attack. Kuyt, Gerard, and Qin Xiong, with a simple two-footed pass, Qin Xiong's stunning individual ability broke through Arsenal's two center backs, and then sent the ball into the corner. Liverpool's attack was simple, but it was the most efficient!"
Wenger had a headache.
They lost the ball again!
They f * * king lost the ball again!
How many powerhouses in European football hated the unsolvable Qin Xiong to the bone?
Wenger did not know, but he had once enjoyed this feeling, and also tasted the ultimate pain.
After Arsenal fell behind in the score, the grievances of being trampled by Liverpool for the past two years seemed to have rebounded to the extreme!
Arsenal began to press forward with the whole team and increased the pace of the game. Faster, faster, faster to the limit of their ability!
Liverpool allowed Arsenal to pass the ball in the backfield, but when Arsenal wanted to attack the front field, then Liverpool's tight defense in the backfield would immediately launch a siege tactic!
In the 22nd minute of the game, when Gervinho was ready to receive in front of the penalty area
When Arteta passed the ball, he lost his balance due to Kuyt's physical confrontation. He staggered two steps before slipping and falling to the ground. The referee did not pay attention to the fact that Gervinho was defeated in the fight between the two men. It was not a foul at all. It could only be said that the physical confrontation was inferior.
Johnson controlled the ball on the side of the backfield and then passed the ball to the middle of the backfield. Alonso had just stopped the ball when he was faced with Rosicky's fierce counterattack. He dodged and immediately passed the ball diagonally to Cabaye on the left side.
Cabaye raised his head and looked to the front. Qin Xiong had taken the initiative to run to the left of the waistline to provide support.
Cabaye sent the ball out, and Qin Xiong kicked the ball out under Song's defense.
The football that was passed diagonally back to the middle rolled to the feet of Gerard, who plugged in from the back.
Qin Xiong immediately turned around and rushed forward after the ball was sent out.
He had just been parallel to Koscielny when Gerard sent out a diagonal kick.
The football went over the heads of Arsenal's defensive line. When it fell, Koscielny and Sagna were both rushing towards Qin Xiong.
However, Qin Xiong was one step faster to reach the football's landing point. He did not give the defenders any chance. He lifted his leg sideways and directly volleyed out!
The football flew towards the bottom right corner of the goal at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye.
Szczesny subconsciously made a save, but the football that went past him was too fast. He only pounced after it had passed him.
After landing, he looked back. The football had undergone an extreme rotation in the goal. It circled around the net before rolling to the ground.
The stands of Anfield Stadium were completely boiling.
The Red Army fans laughed wildly to mock Wenger.
"Is this what you mean by Liverpool will collapse? Who will collapse, Liverpool or Arsenal? "
Qin Xiong rushed to the sidelines to end the celebration with a sliding kneel. He panted with a smile on his face. The Red Army fans in the nearby stands immediately worshipped him.
"Liverpool leads Arsenal by 2: 0! Oh my God! It's another simple combination. Is Arsenal's defensive line so weak?
But then again, why can't Arsenal learn how to defend?
Arsenal was a team that paid great attention to defense ten years ago!
The manager has not changed. The replacement of the players is inevitable, but the defensive strength has changed dramatically!
It's really hard to imagine what happened.
Arsenal relies on this kind of defense and does not pragmatically face different opponents. It will be difficult for them to regain their glory! "
One thing was that Wenger seemed to have gone astray in his pursuit of beautiful football.
He was evaluated by Fleet Street as losing a manager's flexibility!
It was clear at a glance that different opponents required the team to make targeted changes.
But Arsenal did not. They acted as if they were oblivious to the outside world. No matter what kind of opponent they faced, they used the same posture and tactics to deal with it.
If they could win, everyone would be happy. If they lost, they would blame it on their youth and inexperience.
Was that the truth?
Of course not!
How long had it been since Arsenal played the ultimate defensive counterattack?
Or had Wenger already turned his nose up at the defensive counterattacks that had made him rich in the past?
No one knew, but even teams like Manchester United, Liverpool, Barcelona, and Real Madrid would adopt different tactical strategies when facing different opponents to ensure the highest probability of defeating the opponent!
However, Arsenal had to take a unique path, and naturally, they would suffer more blows as a result.
On the one hand, their strength was not above all. For example, Barcelona had a strong lineup and a mature technical and tactical system. Watching Barcelona's game, there would always be a sense of deja vu. It had nothing to do with the opponent, but Barcelona would still change in the top competition.
Liverpool's variable factors were more complicated, such as the pressure on the field, the thickness of the bench, the intensity of the competition, and so on.
Liverpool did well in this regard.
Arsenal conceded the second goal, and the Gunner was full of resentment.
Liverpool, on the other hand, seemed to be reminding Arsenal to be more pragmatic. When faced with a strong team, they should obediently withdraw to defend and fight back. Perhaps taking a step back would open up a better situation for them, and it would allow the Arsenal to flourish.
But Arsenal's stubbornness was surprising.
They were still unrepentant and wanted to attack aggressively in Anfield.
The more they did this, the harder it was to break through Liverpool's gate. Instead, their own backfield was in a state of emergency.
It was a rather ironic phenomenon.
The direction of their efforts and the direction of reality were completely opposite!
Before the end of the first half, Qin Xiong received a straight pass from Baines on the flank and dribbled the ball into the penalty area. Sagna knocked him down from behind in the penalty area. Liverpool was awarded a penalty kick!
A penalty kick without any controversy!
Qin Xiong stood in front of the penalty spot and pushed the ball into the lower left corner of the goal, directly helping Liverpool secure the victory!
