The people of Anfield were excited, the Red Army fans were stunned, and the Arsenal fans were overjoyed. It was a scene of ice and fire in the stands.
After Qin Xiong scored, he ran to the corner flag area with a persistent look in his eyes. He silently said in his heart: Is it enough? Is it enough? Not enough! Not enough!
I want to be world-class, I want to be a legend, I want to be a real king!
It was definitely not an empty promise, nor was it a wish that was occasionally made when he was full of lofty sentiments.
In order to climb to the top and sit on the throne, he had the awareness to pay more and work harder than others, and not less than others!
He stood outside the corner area and made his signature celebratory gesture. This was an interaction between him and the fans, and it received a warm response from the Gunners fans.
"Qin Xiong has scored for the fourth consecutive Premier League game! Someone, someone, someone come and stop him! Now he is number one on the goalscoring chart! What the hell! Isn't he the king of assists? Doesn't he like to get statistics on assists? Why did it change in the new season? Could it be another classic transformation by Wenger? After Wenger changed Henry from a winger to a center forward, he created a world-class killer. Qin Xiong played as a center forward or attacking midfielder at Ajax. After coming to Arsenal, he was now almost a number 9 and a half! Had another demon in the eyes of the Premier League defenders appeared? Alonso was too pitiful. He was repeatedly defeated by Qin Xiong today. He had an unshirkable responsibility for this goal. His return to the penalty area to defend was praiseworthy, but at the crucial moment of defense, his prediction was wrong! He thought that Qin Xiong's kickback was an adjustment, but he did not know that it was a foreshadowing by Qin Xiong to break through him. He lured him to move forward, and then brilliantly passed him before shooting the ball into the goal! Qin Xiong has four goals and two assists in four Premier League games! What is Arsenal waiting for? Renew his contract quickly! Otherwise, you will regret it! "
Benítez walked back to the technical area with a gloomy face and sat down. He had to admit that Arsenal's attacking players were too good.
It was the first time Reese went up to assist. Just as he made some progress, he turned around and Arsenal counterattacked. Reese's defensive position was used by Qin Xiong!
This level of sensitivity and spatial manipulation during a ceremony was unprecedented!
Arsenal took the lead with one goal. After the restart, Arsenal still focused on defending against counter-attacks, while Liverpool launched a fiercer offensive. Alonso did not dare to step forward to widen the distance between him and Sissoko. Even if he had to risk a long pass or let Gerard retreat to provide support, he had to ensure that he would not become a single point for Qin Xiong to break through.
Before the end of the first half, Gerard and Ljungberg collided in the middle of the field, causing Ljungberg to be injured.
On the sidelines, Wenger's face turned green!
"Oh my god! Arsenal had another injured player in the new season! Can Arsenal's medical room still accommodate people? After Ashley Cole and Campbell's injuries, Arsenal has another main player on the injured list! Arsenal may be going through the biggest wave of injuries in the last ten years! "
Wenger was in a terrible mood. Arsenal's lineup was already thin, and the main players were injured one after another. The season had only just begun!
Hleb was ordered to replace Ljungberg in the nick of time.
Not long after he came on, Hleb stubbornly broke through during a counterattack, which caused Qin Xiong to be dissatisfied!
Henry was an outstanding star player in the team. He hardly participated in the management of the locker room and was usually quiet. Although Qin Xiong was very similar to him, when it was time to express his opinion on the field, Qin Xiong would never be silent.
At the end of the first half, Qin Xiong walked up to Hleb and said to him solemnly, "You could have passed the ball to me just now, instead of choosing to break through by yourself."
Hleb asked back, "Why can't I break through by myself? I have confidence! "
Qin Xiong looked at him and said calmly, "Because I have more confidence than you, and I have more ability than you!"
He was just telling the truth, not showing off or suppressing.
The football circle was not a democratic society, but a feudal society!
The only difference was that those with ability did not have real privileges!
Qin Xiong believed that if Henry had said the first sentence to Hleb, Hleb would definitely not have asked back, but would have nodded and obeyed!
That was privilege!
That was why Qin Xiong was in an awkward position with Arsenal.
He did not have absolute authority and privilege!
Although he did not contribute less than Henry, his importance to the team only existed in discussions and feelings, and was not real.
It was conceivable that Hleb's transfer value was higher than Qin Xiong's, and his salary was about the same as Qin Xiong's.
Hleb, who was two years older than Qin Xiong, was speechless. It seemed that he could not find a reason to refute Qin Xiong.
Although he was two years older than Qin Xiong, Qin Xiong's words were indeed the truth.
Qin Xiong was stronger and more confident than him!
Qin Xiong then said to him, "I hope you can understand the real meaning of my words. I'm not trying to blame you. What I can tell you is that you should first adapt to the rhythm and style of the Premier League's game. You are good at small areas of escape and ball control, but you don't have room to play most of the time in this game, because Liverpool will not rush to intercept on the ground, and we have to let the football move back and forth quickly in a wider space. You can't force a breakthrough, and you have to dribble and control the ball. This is not decisive enough, and it will delay our counterattack. We need a faster and more determined attacking method! This is my advice to you. Everything is for the team to be able to win and achieve victory. "
Hleb nodded. Qin Xiong's tone was more sincere. Even if he said "I'm better than you" before, it did not seem overbearing.
Wenger frowned in the locker room and sternly warned the players not to relax in the second half.
But when it came to the second half, Arsenal's defense began to have serious problems.
Hleb was not Ljungberg. He was a midfielder with outstanding skills, while Ljungberg was a hard-working player. When Ljungberg was on the field, he would have better protection on the right flank, but Hleb could not do that.
This made Liverpool, who wanted to turn the game around, unexpectedly find that the left flank attack could play a miraculous effect in the second half!
In the 56th minute of the game, Cen Deng did not have pressure to intercept from behind on the left flank. He made a fake move in front of Lauren to get rid of him and then changed direction to break through. He dribbled the ball to the end line, and then suddenly accelerated to cut inside. Lauren could not keep up with him for the first time, and Cen Deng accelerated to get rid of him for the second time.
Wenger was furious when he saw it on the sidelines!
He suddenly felt that Arsenal's problems this season were much more than he thought!
The combination of injuries and the decline of the individual players' form made Arsenal extremely vulnerable!
After Cen Deng broke through, he attracted Fàbregas and Touré to intercept. Morientes in the middle was ready to make a move and had the momentum to outflank the front of the goal. Unexpectedly, Cen Deng knocked the ball back to the top of the arc of the penalty area. Gerard rushed up to receive the ball and shot. The football drew a straight line and went straight to the bottom left corner of the goal!
Wenger waved his hand angrily on the sidelines. He turned and walked to the technical area and said to his assistant, "Let Eboue warm up!"
