"Liverpool scored a goal to equalize the score! The goal was scored by Gerrard! With Cen Deng's assist, Lauren's defense was useless! At the start of the new season, some players in Arsenal's squad are in top form, but there are also players who continue to be in bad form. Lauren is one of them. "
Eboue replaced Lauren in the field. Wenger made it very clear to Eboue that what he needed was clean and decisive interception and pressing!
Eboue had been in Arsenal's reserve team for half a year and was promoted to the First Team in the summer. His performance was much better than when he first arrived. He was the team's joker and would often make jokes during training. However, Qin Xiong rarely interacted with him because Qin Xiong always grasped every minute of training and did not relax.
After Eboue's appearance, Arsenal's offense still did not have the expected effect. On one hand, Liverpool's intention to attack the left flank was obvious, which made Arsenal's defense tight. On the other hand, Hleb really needed time to adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League game and form a tacit understanding with the team.
He often dribbled the ball to a dead end and then passed the ball. He was not nimble enough and did not pass the ball when his teammates could receive it. When his teammates lost patience, he would pass the ball again, but his teammates were not willing to run at all.
This was one of the signs of problems with the tacit understanding between passing and running.
Eboue took Cen Deng down in less than ten minutes on the field. He knocked Cen Deng out of the sideline. Although it was a foul, his momentum was approved by Wenger.
Liverpool saw that Arsenal's offense was not as sharp as it was in the first half. In addition, their own offense seemed to have a better effect, so they began to step up their offense, hoping to reverse Arsenal's offense in the remaining 20 minutes of the game!
Qin Xiong retreated to the middle and backfield. He had to start asking for organizational power. He did not have a tacit understanding with Hleb in terms of offensive advancement. It could be said that Hleb did not have a tacit understanding with anyone. This could not be used, so Arsenal's offense in the front field was very passive, which meant that Liverpool could purposefully encircle and suppress them.
As the number of Arsenal's attacks decreased, Liverpool began to press forward and attack.
In the 72nd minute of the match, Garcia raised his leg to cross from the right, and Morientes headed the ball in the penalty area. Lehmann bravely resolved the danger in front of the goal, which could be called a world-class save.
There was a huge sigh in the Anfield stands, and then the fans applauded Morientes, hoping that he would continue to work hard and try to break Arsenal's goal.
The situation seemed to be getting more and more unfavorable for Arsenal. Arsenal seemed to lack stamina and were retreating.
But Qin Xiong remained calm throughout. He had been observing Liverpool's defensive line.
The newly crowned champions of the Champions League, Liverpool, were trying to take down the defending Premier League champions, Arsenal at home. When the game time passed 75 minutes, their formation had clearly pressed. In order to ensure that the formation would not be torn apart, the tightness of the three lines must be maintained.
In the 77th minute of the game, Qin Xiong received the ball at the back of the center circle. Gerard was very close to him and quickly came to counter-steal. Qin Xiong's horizontal dribble disrupted Gerard's pressing plan. He did not expect Qin Xiong to not push forward to attack.
Alonso immediately came up and rushed from the side to intercept Qin Xiong. Qin Xiong leaned slightly to the outside to block Alonso's pressing. He steadily protected the ball and continued to dribble horizontally.
Without completely getting rid of Alonso, Qin Xiong pulled out the space and angle to look at the front field.
He looked in the distance and saw Henry standing between Hyypia and Carragher.
Henry pretended to retreat back to support, but he only took a step back and assumed a sprinting posture.
Qin Xiong decisively sent out a direct pass over the top!
The football suddenly flew past Alonso's eyes. He immediately turned his head to look and saw the football pass over Sissoko's head, and over Hyypia and Carragher's heads!
At the same time, Henry sprinted forward like an assassin on the green pitch to attack Liverpool's goal!
Qin Xiong's direct pass over the top was just right, so that Hyypia could not head the ball out of the encirclement even if he jumped up while retreating. Henry's burst of sprint and acceleration forward was something that the top defenders could not catch up with!
Henry stopped the ball on the line of the penalty area and went alone!
Reina could only abandon the goal and go out. Henry decisively raised his leg to shoot. A precise shot sent the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal!
Henry looked back at the midfield after the goal. He pointed to Qin Xiong and sprinted to the sidelines to celebrate the goal in a classic sliding kneel!
"Arsenal leads Liverpool again! Liverpool paid a painful price for their excessive pressure! It has to be said that Qin Xiong's direct pass over the top was wonderful. It was a perfect assist that could not be more perfect! Henry will not miss such an opportunity. He and Qin Xiong are a perfect duo. Last season's scoring frenzy will continue this season! "
Liverpool's players were helpless. They wanted to defeat Arsenal to prove themselves, but Arsenal's top players could solve the battle with one or two players!
Wenger immediately used the last substitution spot after the goal. He let Reyes come on to replace Pires to maintain the team's impact on the flanks.
Qin Xiong took the initiative to stay behind to help the team ensure the quality of the defense, and together with Fàbregas, he delivered the cannonballs to the flanks.
Reyes changed positions with Hleb after he came on. Hleb's performance improved after he went to the left flank. His previous poor performance may have had a lot to do with his position.
Liverpool was caught in a dilemma. They could not shake Arsenal's goal if they did not put in too many troops. But if they put in too many troops, the rear defensive line may not be able to stop Henry.
They tried to create unexpected offensive opportunities with a few troops in the front field.
However, Qin Xiong and Fàbregas were able to firmly control the ball through passing and coordination in the midfield. Moreover, the two of them looked very relaxed, leisurely passing short passes, running positions, short passes, running positions.
Fàbregas had mastered some of the experience of controlling the rhythm and observing the situation to suddenly launch an attack. He thought he had benefited a lot from being with Qin Xiong and was making rapid progress.
When Liverpool became a little impatient with their control of the rhythm, they had to put in more troops to counterattack. At this time, after Fàbregas or Qin Xiong suddenly delivered a highly threatening straight ball to the flanks, Liverpool's defensive line had to bear the risk of losing the ball.
In the 89th minute of the game, Reyes cut into the penalty area after receiving Fàbregas's sudden straight ball from the flanks. Henry attracted the attention of the two top center backs in the middle. Reyes calmly passed the ball to Hleb, who cut into the middle from the other side. Hleb was eager to make a contribution without anyone marking him. He used too much force in his shot and the football flew directly into the stands.
Wenger was excited for nothing on the sidelines. He felt that this opportunity should not be missed.
Obviously, Hleb still needed to hone for a while to adapt to the Premier League.
But what pleased Wenger was that the game was finally won without any mishap!
At the end of the game, Qin Xiong was surprised to be kissed on the face by Eboue. Eboue was excited to celebrate the victory at Anfield, while Qin Xiong took away the honor of being the best player in the game for the fourth consecutive game when he left the battlefield.
All four games of the new Premier League season in August were completed. Arsenal not only won four consecutive games to start the season, but also unexpectedly won at Stamford Bridge and Anfield!
Qin Xiong was elected as the best player in the Premier League for August!
