ps, it's the 28th, only four days away from the end of the month. Everyone should cherish this time and vote quickly!

Dalglish didn't expect his tactics to be thoroughly studied by Wenger. The current Liverpool, in the eyes of Arsenal players, is like a naked beauty, defenseless!

So, the situation in the game suddenly changed, and he seemed a little caught off guard.

Alexandre Song got the ball in the backcourt. He didn't dribble the ball, nor did he simply pass it to the side like Charlie Adam on the opposite side. After glancing at Van Persie's position, he chose a straight pass of thirty meters!

The ball went through the gap between Charlie Adam and Henderson and landed accurately at Van Persie's feet.

At this time, Van Persie was already very close to the center-back Skrtel. Receiving the ball, he didn't stop, but took advantage of the situation to flick it forward, followed by a quick start, surpassing Skrtel!

"Beautiful breakthrough!" the commentator shouted excitedly.

The Arsenal fans in the stands cheered, but their voices were quickly drowned out by the exclamations and boos of the Liverpool fans.

"Stop him!!" the Liverpool fans exclaimed. They all knew how outstanding Van Persie's form was this season. He could score many goals that weren't even opportunities. The previous Van Persie wasn't so good...

So, seeing Van Persie use his speed to outmaneuver Skrtel, everyone's hearts were in their throats.

Everyone knew how terrifying Van Persie was this season...

Chen Hero didn't retreat to defend in the frontcourt—it wouldn't help even if he did—seeing Van Persie rushing into the penalty area like a whirlwind, his hands clenched unconsciously...

Van Persie had already swung his left foot, his most skilled foot.

Agger rushed over from the other side, wanting to slide tackle Van Persie's shot.

He was still too late. Van Persie had already shot the ball!

"Robin—Van Persie!!!"

In the commentator's roar, the ball went straight to the far corner. Goalkeeper Reina dived to save, but didn't touch the ball, because the ball had already rolled past...

Then it crashed into the net!

"gooooooooooooooooAL!!! Beautiful goal! Beautiful! The great Robin van Persie! He has equalized the score for Arsenal again!! As long as there is Van Persie, Arsenal can always create miracles!"

Van Persie turned his head to watch the ball fly into the goal, then he turned around and opened his arms, with an excited smile on his face, ran from the baseline to the corner flag area, and then turned to the Arsenal coaching bench, hugging and celebrating with Wenger there.

※※※

"Van Persie! Van Persie! He also scored! A brace!"

"This game is really a contest between two strikers! Neither of them is willing to admit defeat, they both scored two goals in the game! What a wonderful duel!"

"Van Persie continues to lead... This goal is really beautiful! He forcibly broke through Skrtel... and then scored from a small angle! Under the pursuit of Chen Hero, Van Persie also erupted with great energy. The confrontation between the two strikers is far from over!"

The TV broadcast quickly gave Chen Hero a close-up shot.

"Chen Hero completed a brace, and in response, Van Persie also completed a brace, tying the score. So, next, the ball is kicked to Hero's feet, what kind of counterattack will he make?"

Only Chen Hero's upper body was in the shot. From this picture, there was nothing unusual. His expression was very ordinary. He didn't seem unwilling, nor did he seem angry.

Didn't Van Persie's brace move him at all?

This is really strange...

The commentator had doubts in his mind, but he couldn't say this doubt directly. He could only remain silent and wait for time to prove whether his guess was right or wrong.

In the lower body that the close-up shot didn't capture, Chen Hero's clenched fist had been loosened before, but he quickly clenched it again.

Dalglish realized the mistake he had made, which led to the team's loss of the ball, that is, the team lacked control in the midfield.

Letting Song easily penetrate the team's midfield defense.

Finding the problem is not difficult, solving the problem is difficult.

What's more, without good players in hand, it is even more difficult to solve the problem.

Gerrard and Lucas were injured one after another. In the defensive midfielder position, he had no one available except Charlie Adam and Henderson. How could he change this situation?

After thinking about it, he could only reduce support for the attack and ask the team to shrink its formation and choose a more conservative style of play.

In other words, more troops would be invested in defense, rather than attack.

This adjustment will definitely surprise many people - it is rare to choose such a conservative style of play at home.

But Dalglish had no choice, he could only do so.

This problem is really too fatal...

He didn't want to attack frantically for dozens of minutes and lose the victory at the last moment.

Taking advantage of the opportunity for Arsenal players to celebrate their goal, he called captain Carragher to the sidelines and gave him instructions. He told him that the team should play more steadily, so they had to defend.

Carragher did not object. He felt that anyway, the coach had the final say, and the coach's adjustments must have his own profound meaning. Since he didn't understand, it's better not to say anything.

He ran onto the field and told his teammates about Dalglish's adjustments.

Then everyone quickly saw the situation after Dalglish's adjustments.

※※※

After the game restarted, Liverpool, who had been tied, did not launch a counterattack in a frantic manner, but chose... to retreat and defend!

Even the commentator was dumbfounded by this: "What's going on? Liverpool actually chose to retreat? This is their home court! Shouldn't they try to score another goal?"

"Dalglish is making another昏招 (hūn zhāo - stupid move)..."

It wasn't just the commentators who were surprised.

Chen Hero was also surprised.

When Carragher went up to relay Dalglish's latest instructions, he didn't tell Chen Hero. Because he was too far away, and it would be a waste of time to run over specifically. Carragher also thought that Chen Hero was a full-time attacker, and defense had nothing to do with him. Even if the boss said to shrink the defense, Chen Hero didn't need to run back to defend, so there was no need to tell him about it.

Therefore, Chen Hero didn't react until ten minutes after the game restarted - because he found that he was getting less support when attacking.

In the past, he was not only the team's attacker, but also a bridgehead. For some balls that could not directly form a shooting opportunity, he would use his body to control them and wait for his teammates to come up to respond to him. This wait usually wouldn't be too long, and his teammates would quickly rush up to respond to him.

But this time, no.

Except for Suarez, Bellamy and Adam Johnson were still behind, and it took time to come up, and this time was too long.

Once he thought it was an accident, twice it might be a coincidence, but after such a situation occurred three or four times, he saw it - the team had adjusted its strategy and seemed to be planning to defend a bit?

This... our home court, boss!

Chen Hero turned his head and glanced at Dalglish standing on the sidelines.

At this time, you must not shrink back, otherwise others will think that we are afraid of them! Their attacks will only be more violent. By then, I'm afraid we won't even have a chance to raise our heads and fight back!

It's not that Chen Hero has much overall view and strategic ability. This is a very simple principle. Chen Hero knew it when he was fighting with others since he was a child. Even if you are facing four or five people on the other side, you must never be怂 (sǒng - timid, cowardly). Once you are怂 (sǒng - timid, cowardly), you can just wait to die. You must show that you are more ruthless, more combative, and more brutal than the other party, so that the opponent may be frightened and have scruples. You may be able to turn defeat into victory. Even if you can't win, you must always grab the leader and hit him hard, and pull a backstop even if you die. You must never disperse your firepower.

This situation is the same as the current game.

Arsenal just tied the score, their morale was high, and their fighting spirit was high. Liverpool, at this time, chose a conservative tactic because they were afraid of continuing to lose goals. Isn't this clearly telling Arsenal "we are very afraid of you"?

Arsenal is not a fool, they will definitely take advantage of the victory and try to annihilate Liverpool completely away from home.

Once the momentum is suppressed, there is no hope of making a comeback.

Chen Hero couldn't help frowning when he thought of the situation the team might face.

He is not the coach, he cannot make arrangements for the entire team. He also couldn't run down and say to Dalglish: "Boss, you're being a wimp by doing this!"

He can only do what he can to boost the morale of his teammates and make Arsenal wary.

That is... to try his best to stir up a storm in the frontcourt!

※※※

Van Persie also saw Liverpool's tactical adjustments. Of course, he knew that this was Liverpool's helpless move to prevent the gap between the midfield and the defense line from being used again.

He didn't care that Liverpool's doing so would make it harder for him to score goals. Now his state is really爆 (bào - bursting, exploding), he is confident that he can score goals when facing such a tenacious defense.

He just felt that in this way, it would be difficult for Chen Hero to score goals, right?

A slightly disappointed emotion crept into his heart.

The competition between the two of them has not yet been decided, and the Liverpool coach has cut it off...

He just wanted to defeat Chen Hero in a fair and square manner, but Dalglish helped him. He felt that even if he won, he wouldn't win happily... People would always say "If Dalglish's tactics were not conservative, who knows who would win and who would lose!"

He didn't want to hear such words.

He was in the midst of a lively back-and-forth battle with Chen Hero, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen suddenly. Van Persie suddenly felt a little bored.

Okay, no matter what the situation is on your side, I'm going to win you here anyway, even if others criticize me for not being bright and upright enough, I'm still going to win.

Moreover, sorry, we Arsenal need this victory!
