Chapter 66: Goal! In One Go!

A farce ended, and two yellow cards were given to Arnold and Lucky.

Lucky was standing up for his teammates, and of course he also vented his inner indignation. As the captain, he must stand up at this time.

This is also the reason why Lucky convinced other Arsenal players.

The back of Arnold's neck was a little red, and even a red handprint was branded on it, which shows how strong Lucky's hand was.

For a moment, Arnold felt that his neck was going to be broken.

For this reason, Arnold looked at Lucky with a hint of fear after calming down.

On the other side, Mane also completed the treatment. After the team doctor's examination, it was only a simple skin injury, nothing serious. After completing the bandage, he returned to the field to continue preparing for the game.

"Arnold is still not calm enough! Under Mane's multiple offensive provocations, his handling method almost put Liverpool into a very passive situation."

If the referee had not been more lenient, Arnold might have been directly sent off for this tackle.

And it is almost impossible for Liverpool to beat Arsenal with one less player.

But even so, Klopp's expression was not very good.

He looked at the court with a frown. Although he did not put on a bad face, he could already feel the anger surging in Klopp's heart.

On the contrary, Arsenal spared no effort to put pressure on the referee team, and Mourinho insisted that this was a red card.

And under Mourinho's pressure, the referee team was also under great pressure.

After all, for any referee, it would be fine if the referee whistled well in such a game between giants, but once there was a problem, the impact would be very great.

After the farce, the players returned to the field and the game returned to normal.

"How is it?"

Lekai walked over and asked with concern.

Mane smiled and shook his head and said, "No big problem, I jumped early and avoided his tackle."

Lekai still frowned: "Be more careful next time, avoid this kind of dangerous tackle if you can."

Mane smiled and said, "I don't think he will do this again, after all, he has learned enough lessons."

The two turned their heads and found that Arnold's shoulders drooped even more.

His face was also full of confusion, and he obviously paid enough for this impulse.

"I will continue to put pressure on the wing, his mentality is wrong."

Mane vowed.

Lekai glanced at Mane and nodded, "Be careful."

After the game resumed, Arsenal got a free kick in the frontcourt.

This free kick was a little far from the goal and close to the side, so it was difficult to form a direct goal.

To this end, Lekai chose to directly hang into the penalty area and let the Arsenal players compete for the header.

An attempted set-piece attack failed to gain enough benefits.

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson moved out smartly and hit the ball out in the air, and the ball was steadily stopped by Liverpool midfielder Henderson.

However, Henderson did not directly counterattack, but passed the ball to Milner, asking him to dribble forward.

On the other side, Arsenal also retreated in an orderly manner.

Liverpool passed the ball to Salah again, asking Pharaoh to complete the advancement work.

But as soon as Salah got the ball, he encountered Lekai's defense.

Salah's pressure came up instantly, and his body posture also pressed down a lot, ready to deal with Lekai's physical impact at any time.

But Lekai did not engage in physical confrontation, and did not even rush to grab, and silently blocked in front of him.

This made Salah's pressure even greater.

Not afraid of Lekai grabbing, but afraid that Lekai would not grab.

No one knows what Lekai is thinking.

At this moment, a shout came from his teammates behind him.

"Be careful behind you!"

Salah was startled, and he subconsciously pulled the ball to the side.

But at this moment, Lekai started instantly, taking advantage of Salah's panic, and accurately robbed the ball and immediately intercepted it.

"Kai!

Clean and neat interception! Of course, Mane's retreat and pressing were also timely!"

After Lekai intercepted the ball, he passed the ball to Mane again.

Mane also attacked the wing.

Watching Mane running towards him step by step, Arnold became more nervous.

He no longer had the calmness before the game. His previous mistakes and the yellow cards on his body reminded him that he could not make any mistakes.

And this pressure was also suppressing Arnold's performance.

At least, Arnold did not dare to stretch out his feet at will at this time.

Seeing Arnold's defense become timid, Mane's breakthrough became more unscrupulous.

At the same time, Lukay was also guarding behind Mane. Once Mane was double-teamed by the opponent, he could also pick the ball out from the frontcourt.

Arsenal's offensive level instantly came up.

Mourinho on the sidelines looked at this scene and nodded slightly. This was the effect he wanted to play.

On the other side, Klopp looked solemn.

Arnold's performance made him worried, and the most important thing was that it was difficult for Liverpool to attack Arsenal's defense.

Several previous opportunities failed to result in a threatening shot.

For the current Liverpool, they urgently need changes.

Want to make a substitution?

Klopp felt a little anxious in his heart. The substitutions during this period may be some tactical arrangements in the second half.

Klopp looked at the time and there were still more than 10 minutes left before the end of the first half.

You should be able to hold on, right?

At this time, Klopp can only place his hope on Liverpool players to stabilize their defense.

But Klopp didn't know how much defensive pressure the Liverpool players were under at this time.

Arsenal's offensive attack does not seem to be that intense, and the rhythm is not very fast, but their every ball distribution and handling can make Liverpool's defense move passively.

In the constant movement, the defenders' chain position is constantly being tested, and there are even signs of collapse.

Once the distance sense of the defenders is not well grasped, resulting in a loophole, Arsenal's ability will definitely be able to accurately send the ball into this loophole.

For this reason, Liverpool's defenders can only grit their teeth and run.

And this kind of running is just exhausting.

"Hold on! They won't be able to hold on anymore!"

While observing the opponent's defense, Lucai reminded his teammates to maintain a steady rhythm.

At this moment, what is most feared is that someone from Arsenal suddenly rushes out, which affects the overall formation and offensive rhythm.

But Lucky's worries are obviously unnecessary.

Arsenal's discipline determines that they will not be in this state.

Almost everyone is seriously fulfilling their duties on the field.

Running, catching the ball, handling the ball, crossing, pulling, etc.

Arsenal's movement throughout the attack and handling of the ball were amazing.

Not a single turnover, not even a goal conceded.

Although Arsenal is not a pass-and-control team, they still play with a kind of beauty that only passes and controls.

"Go grab it!

"

"Don't let them pass the ball randomly!"

"Press out!

"

Van Dijk and other Liverpool defenders couldn't help shouting.

Their pressure is constantly rising, and their overall defense is gradually falling apart.

"On the right! I can't stand it anymore!"

"Mane! Mane!"

"Kai is coming up too!"

"Girou!

Shit!

"

"Where are the people behind?"

There was a sense of anxiety in the shouts of the Liverpool players.

It's really a bad feeling to see Arsenal passing the ball around their own penalty area, but they can't grab it.

Ever since Liverpool re-emerged, have they ever played such a useless game!

"Go up and grab it!

! "

Even goalkeeper Alisson couldn't help roaring.

And under his roar, Arsenal was the first to react.

Mane was seen shaking continuously, finally knocking Arnold to the ground, then flicked the ball horizontally, and immediately entered the penalty area.

Liverpool's goal immediately sounded the alarm.

At the same time, the Arsenal players also pressed in instantly, and the whole team finished in one go.

After Mane entered the penalty area, he immediately passed the ball across.

Both Giroud and Van Dijk were rushing towards the ball quickly, but Giroud was ahead and hit the ball first.

Seeing that he failed to control the ball immediately, Van Dijk hooked his foot and tried to block it.

But Giroud stepped on the ball and did not shoot.

This also caused Van Dijk to slide past Giroud and instantly collide with his own goalkeeper.

There was chaos at the goal line, but Giroud looked at the two struggling to get up and easily picked the ball with his toes.

The ball passed Alisson's outstretched hand and fell in a parabola towards the Liverpool goal.

Uh-huh!

The ball touched the net lightly.

In the 37th minute, Arsenal scored first.
