"Arsenal has scored! The scorer is Qin Xiong! Super Qin Xiong! In the absence of Henry and Pires, their attacking power was greatly weakened. Qin Xiong shouldered the most important task of attacking: to score goals! Will his goal open the door to victory for Arsenal? Now Arsenal has a huge goal difference advantage. As long as they win the game and get three points, they will definitely be able to maintain their goal of leading Chelsea! "
After the celebration, Fàbregas whispered to Qin Xiong, "Now that we've scored, shouldn't we switch the attack and suddenly attack Warnock's point?"
Qin Xiong looked back at Liverpool's half of the field and replied, "Yes, but if you do that kind of work, it may be too conspicuous. Cesc, leave it to me, trust me."
Fàbregas smiled. Trust? There was no need to say it out loud. They were friends and teammates. He had long been convinced of Qin Xiong's strength.
Benítez looked grim. He did not expect Arsenal's strong attack on the left flank to break through Liverpool's defensive line!
Perhaps there was a deviation from Liverpool's established defensive deployment. They did not wait for a stormy attack on Warnock's point. Instead, it was Finnan's side that was beaten to a pulp by the offensive.
Liverpool faced a difficult game. They wanted to attack, to attack wildly, but they were powerless.
Even an iron man like Gerard was tired after a season of high-intensity campaigning.
Qin Xiong understood Liverpool's predicament very well, because Arsenal had also gone through this at a certain stage. The key was never whether a player had enough stamina, but whether his teammates were at the same pace!
Now Liverpool's problem was obvious. The attack in the front field was disjointed.
Morientes and Cisse were energetic and active, but Reese and Kewell were obviously slower than them. It was difficult to find a tacit balance when everyone worked together!
Gerard was an excellent organizer, but he was only excellent. He was not a top player in terms of organizational ability, so he could drive Liverpool's spirit, but he could not integrate Liverpool in a real game. The one who really did this job was Alonso!
The veteran Harman needed to rest, and Alonso's position was too far back. In the Premier League's wide-open competition environment, a midfielder who was too far back and had to take care of the defense could drive the attack, but it was difficult to play the effect of controlling the field and driving the rhythm.
Cisse was frozen by Campbell, Morientes could not get support from his teammates, and Lauren and Ashley Cole were experienced in cutting the opponent's attacking formation..
On the basis of better fitness, Arsenal's rear defensive line had few obvious loopholes that the opponent could exploit.
Gerard was faced with the joint defense of Vieira and Silva in the front field. He lost the ball several times and fell into a state of isolation. His teammates on the flanks were slow to respond, and his teammates on the front line wanted to pass the football at a faster pace. This was an obvious disjointed attack!
In the 27th minute of the game, Qin Xiong once again passed Finnan on the left side of the front field. This time, he continued to dribble into the penalty area. When Carragher came to assist in the defense, he passed the ball back to the top of the penalty area arc. Alonso could not mark Fàbregas, who plugged in from the back, and let the Spanish genius shoot a high-quality shot.
Dudek made a world-class save to keep the ball out of the goal.
There was a burst of applause in the Highbury stands. After a season of training, Fàbregas's improvement was recognized by the fans.
Benítez frowned on the sidelines.
Arsenal was still playing on the left side?
Did he really not care about Warnock's point?
Or was it because the left side of the attack was the most efficient after the results were achieved?
Liverpool could not let Arsenal run wild on the left side so unscrupulously.
Their defensive focus began to tilt, covertly overturning Benítez's defensive deployment before the game.
It had no effect at all!
If Arsenal did not play on the right side, they would not be able to play the defensive effect they expected.
Qin Xiong's ball was successfully intercepted by Carragher in the 34th minute of the game. After the ball was intercepted, Qin Xiong wanted to counterattack on the spot, but Alonso quickly kicked the ball to the front field.
However, Qin Xiong was not discouraged. He turned his head to look at Liverpool's defensive line.
Pellegrino stood in the middle of the goal, and Carragher stood in the empty position on the left side of the penalty area. They began to readjust after the successful defense.
Qin Xiong raised an inexplicable smile.
Three minutes later, Fàbregas received Vieira's straight pass and crossed the half of the field. Then he passed the ball straight to Bergkamp, who was retreating from the front line.
The Dutch veteran did not stop the ball. He kicked the ball out and the football rolled to the left side.
Qin Xiong cut directly from the side to the middle, ignoring where Finnan was. When he burst out to receive the football, Liverpool's defensive line quickly readjusted and the trend of shrinking towards Qin Xiong's side was very obvious.
Qin Xiong did not stop the ball. He received the ball and directly used the back of his right foot to kick an outside curveball!
The football flew through the gap between Finnan and Carragher, bypassed the center back and flew quickly to the right side of the penalty area!
The crowd saw a figure cut into the heart of Liverpool's penalty area like a sharp knife in the slightly empty right side of the penalty area!
Ljungberg!
Where was Warnock?
He was still on the flank outside the penalty area!
The young player, who had not been attacked for a long time, made a mistake at the crucial moment of marking. He did not keep up with Ljungberg. Perhaps he was still wondering: How did the ball get there?
Ljungberg used his chest to unload the ball forward in a forward rush and shot diagonally towards the goal!
The football went straight to the inside of the far post!
Dudek did not even have time to make a save. The shot was like a thunderbolt, and he could not react at all!
"Arsenal scored the second goal! Ljungberg helped Arsenal take another solid step towards defending the title of Premier League champion! Oh my God! It's Qin Xiong's assist again! His 34th assist in the league this season! What kind of assist record does Europe's king of assists want to create? "
Fàbregas laughed and ran in the direction of Ljungberg from the back. He saw Qin Xiong running towards Ljungberg with a wild look on his face.
Admiration rose in his heart.
Arsenal had not attacked the right flank for a long time, but when they really wanted to defeat the opponent on the right flank, they did not rely on a long-term attack on the right flank, but on a surprise attack!
Fast, accurate and ruthless! A fatal blow!
This was Qin Xiong's organizational thinking. He not only had the technical ability that an organizer should have, but he also had the more valuable strategic awareness that an organizer should have!
There were many levels of competition on the field: technique, physical fitness, teamwork, cooperation, physical fitness, and of course, the most important, the mind and awareness!
It was no wonder that many top managers admired China's "Sun Tzu's Art of War". The field was like a battlefield, and the art of war was also useful on this level and could play a key role!
Qin Xiong's strategic awareness was at least two levels higher than that of an ordinary organizer. This was what Fàbregas admired the most!
