Chapter 230: Just a Tie
"Sunny's goal helped Liverpool pull one back! With two goals behind, this goal was worth a thousand gold! Now Liverpool is only one goal behind!"

Penguin Sports commentator Zhang Jun said excitedly.

As a Liverpool fan.

He really loves commentating Liverpool's games now.

Because only now, with Sunshine playing for Liverpool.

Only then can he completely abandon any neutral position.

Sitting down in Liverpool.

The reason is simple, because most Chinese fans support Yang Guang.

He is just following the general trend.

No one would ask him to be a neutral commentator when commenting on Sunshine's games.

Isn't this just taking off your butt to fart?

Comment area.

The fans were also happy about Yang Guang's goal.

Although Sunshine has already scored many goals.

But every goal he scores can arouse heated discussion among fans.

"Yangguang's single blade is steady!"

"This pass past Koscielny was also very stable."

"Cech is completely in his rhythm"

"Beautiful! Beautiful! Now I'm only one behind!"

"For the sun, is there any difference between being one step behind and not being behind?"

"Two more goals in the second half, another simple hat trick."

Chinese fans are very excited.

They are not just bragging about Yang Guang just because he is one of their own.

Just look at the expressions of Arsenal fans at the Emirates Stadium now and you will know that what they are saying is very likely to happen.

Sunshine's goal-scoring ability is here.

The first half isn't even over yet.

The game time is still so long.
Arsenal fans are starting to worry now.

They wished the game would end in twenty minutes.

Because they were ahead at that time.
Well, if possible, we can end it now.

But the rules of football games do not change based on the wishes of the fans.

There is still some time in the first half.

The next period of time.

Arsenal seemed a little flustered after conceding the goal.

After scoring the goal, Liverpool players took advantage of the opportunity and launched a fierce attack.

The morale of both sides was rising and falling.

The situation was also reversed.

Arsenal, playing at home, had to reduce their authority.

We managed to get through the last bit of the first half in a very passive manner.

As the first half ended, the whistle sounded.

The camera gave close-ups of some Arsenal fans in the stands.

They all breathed a sigh of relief.

It's like the aftermath of a disaster.

The camera then switched to the field.

Arsenal players also breathed a sigh of relief. They turned around and walked out of the stadium as if they had escaped from a cage.

The camera cuts to Wenger walking towards the player tunnel.

Professor Wenger frowned.

The commentators all thought that Arsenal was very lucky not to lose a goal in the final stage of the first half.

"Arsenal were lucky to maintain their lead at the end of the first half."

The England commentator said.

Yes, Arsenal are still leading in the score.

But many people have begun to be less optimistic about Arsenal.
Because they were leading Liverpool by just one goal.

In the home team's locker room.

Wenger had figured it out as he walked from the pitch to the locker room.

It is absolutely impossible to maintain a one-goal lead by simply defending in the second half.

And
Defending is indeed not something Arsenal is good at.

and so.

Second half of the game.

It's all Arsenal can do.

Let’s continue attacking while we are playing at home!

Arsenal still have to play offensive football.

Only then is there a possibility of winning.

Even though they are leading by one goal now, Wenger doesn't have much confidence.

But he showed confidence in front of his players.

"We only lost one goal, it's not the end of the world. Don't forget, we also scored two goals against them! Their defense is not impeccable! Their weakness is defense! If we can score two goals against them, we can score three or four!"

Wenger's voice echoed in the home team's locker room.

He restored confidence to the Arsenal players.

"That's right! We can continue to score goals!"

"Defense is not our style!"

“This is our home ground!”

Arsenal players encouraged each other.

This is what Wenger wants to see.

After conceding the goal in the first half.
Arsenal looked helpless and lacking confidence.
This would have been impossible for Arsenal at their peak.

A team that has long lacked top-level competitiveness is indeed prone to this problem.
but.

This is the case with Arsenal, isn't it the same for Liverpool?
Wenger took a deep breath.

"Okay, guys. Let's see how we're going to attack in the second half!"

In the visiting team's locker room.

Unlike Wenger.

Klopp was critical of his team.

"It is absolutely unacceptable to lose two goals so easily! We must stay focused in the second half. We are not the strongest team in the league and we have no right to be arrogant!"

Klopp snapped.

"In the second half of the game, we need to press forward and suppress them. We need to attack! We need to score goals!"

At halftime, both head coaches focused on offense.

At the beginning of the second half, the game turned into an offensive battle, which was a natural thing.

The first to attack was the home team Arsenal.

After a fifteen-minute break.

Sanchez's performance has become active again.

He received a long pass from the backcourt on the left side, cut in one step and shot directly.

Exactly the same as his first goal in the first half.

The location and method of shooting are exactly the same.

The only difference is.

In the first half, the ball flew into the dead corner.

This time, the ball hit the post and flew out of the bottom line.

After completing the shot, Sanchez knelt on the ground with regret, holding his head in his hands and complaining.

Maybe he was complaining about his luck today - if he had been any luckier.

Arsenal might have scored a goal at the beginning of the second half.

Sanchez cut in and shot wide.

Come back.

Liverpool's attack also threatened Arsenal's goal.

Mane received a pass from Sunshine on the flank and volleyed the ball with his right foot.

The football hit the crossbar with a bang and bounced out of the bottom line.

The entire Arsenal fans at the Emirates Stadium turned pale with fright at this kick.

"Mane...crossbar! Arsenal escaped a disaster. At the beginning of the second half, both sides created threats on the offensive end!"

"Both teams started to exert their strength on the offensive end at the same time!"

"The two sides started an offensive battle!"

In the commentary booth, the commentators were extremely excited.

This is the game that most neutral fans want to see.

Both parties are indeed not conservative at all.

Both sides created opportunities on the offensive end.

Although Sunshine was always double-teamed by Arsenal, he was still the biggest threat to Liverpool's offense.

Whether it is his own shot or the pass to his teammates, it often threatens Arsenal's goal.

Arsenal's attack was also threatening.

The best chance they created at the start of the second half was Lacazette's header in the small penalty area.

The result was almost a sure-shot goal.

Lacazette headed the ball away, which made the Arsenal fans at the Emirates Stadium feel regretful and worried.

Wasting opportunities will be punished.

They recalled many games where Arsenal had the upper hand but ultimately lost.

not to mention.

This game.

Arsenal were at best evenly matched on the field.

And
After Lacazette wasted this opportunity.

Arsenal's offensive was gradually suppressed by Liverpool.

The watershed moment was Lacazette's header from close range.

Before the first half.

If both sides can still be considered evenly matched.

That's after this.

Liverpool gradually got more offensive opportunities than Arsenal.

And the threat level is higher than Arsenal's offensive threat.

Fifty-fifth minute of the game.

Salah cut inside and shot, but was saved by Cech.

Fifty-ninth minute of the game.

Mane made a back-triangle pass in the penalty area, and Sunshine shot near the penalty spot, but Koscielny made a great effort to block it and the ball went out of the baseline.

Liverpool's continuous offensive.

This made Arsenal's defense become nervous.

Sky Sports commentator Kolo couldn't help but say: "Arsenal's offensive performance at the beginning of the second half was suppressed by Liverpool. If they don't make some changes, it's only a matter of time before they lose the ball!"

Chloe was right.

Wenger also knows that Arsenal is in great danger now.

He had hoped that Arsenal could maintain an evenly matched situation with Liverpool in an offensive battle.

In this case, even Liverpool might have a chance to score.

But Arsenal's chances of scoring are not small.

The two attacks by Sanchez and Lacazette are proof of this.

But Wenger didn't expect it.

Arsenal could only maintain their intensity for 10 minutes in the second half, after which they were pressed back by Liverpool.

This proves one thing: Arsenal's game intensity is much lower than Liverpool's.

They wanted to maintain the "offensive" situation, but it could only last for ten minutes.

What to do next?
Wenger looked towards the bench.

On the bench.

There are Wilshere, Iwobi, Welbeck, Kolasinac and others who can be deployed.

Is it time to step up the offense?
Or strengthen defense?

Wenger hesitated a little.

Just now.

He heard the sudden boos at the Emirates Stadium.

Wenger quickly turned his head and looked towards the court.

I saw that Yangguang had gotten rid of Coquelin in the midfield and was dribbling the ball forward.

"Block him!"

"foul!"

"Shovel him!"

In the stands behind Wenger.

Arsenal fans pointed at Sunshine who was dribbling forward with the ball.

There was a look of panic on everyone's face.

Just like the Arsenal players on the field.

Arsenal players also lost their composure at this moment, and almost all defenders were desperately retreating to the middle.

It was as if the sunlight that was dribbling the ball forward was a terrifying monster.

But actually
The sunlight was still forty meters away from the goal.

Moreover, Arsenal's defense is not messy.

Their current defensive choices are certainly not based on reason;
fear!

Fear of sunlight.

Wenger felt a chill on his back and he immediately realized the danger.

But before he could remind her.

Yangguang, who was dribbling the ball, suddenly kicked the ball with the outside of his foot.

The football sticks to the ground.

He emerged from among the crowd.

Everyone's eyes followed the football transmitted by the sunlight to the right side of Liverpool's attack direction.

“Salah!!!”

to the exclamations of the commentators.

The Egyptian winger came in from behind, caught up with the ball and pushed it inside, breaking into the penalty area!
Cech spilled it right after.

But he wasn't close yet.

Salah has already shot with his left foot!

The ball passed by Cech.

It brushed the far post and went into the goal.

“Salah shot directly from a single shot! The ball went in! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!”

"Two to two! Two to two!! Liverpool equalized the score!"

"Arsenal's defense suddenly made a huge mistake! They left both sides completely empty!"

"Sunshine's pass easily gave Salah a one-on-one chance!"

As the commentators were speaking.

A figure rushed into the goal and ran back with the ball.

The camera was originally following Salah as he celebrated his goal, but the camera quickly cut back.

Yangguang was running back with the ball.

"It's just to tie the score!"

he shouted.

Salah quickly turned around and ran back following the sunlight.

Sunshine held out his hand: "Good shot!"

After the two high-fived.

Yangguang ran all the way back to the center circle and pressed the ball on the kick-off spot.

He clapped his hands and shouted, "Keep going! Keep going! That's how you kick!"

"It's just to tie the score!"

Wenger stood on the sidelines and sighed.

He understands the players' fears.

The one dribbling in front of them was a terrifying striker who had already scored 23 goals in the Premier League.

And before that.

It was this player who scored a goal.

Their lead went from two goals to one goal.
and so.

When the ball is suddenly intercepted and the team is counterattacking.

It is completely understandable that Arsenal's players collectively lost their minds.

That big Chinese guy is almost every player's nightmare.

If Sunshine is a player who dares to be very independent.

Maybe Arsenal's defence can pull it off.

But he is not.

When he passes the ball.

Everything is already destined.

Even if Cech could save the ball in the first place.

That was of no avail, as Mane also came up on the other side.

Salah can pass and shoot.

Want to stop the other team from scoring a goal.

Just rely on luck.
But obviously.

After the second half of the game started.

Luck was not on Arsenal's side.

The camera swept across the faces of every Arsenal player.

Cech sat on the edge of the small penalty area, very depressed.

He shook his head and stood up.

The faces of the Arsenal defenders in the penalty area also became a little confused, even frightened.

Sanchez put his hands on his hips, and the Chilean looked extremely disappointed.

Recently, there have been rumors in the English media about Sanchez leaving the team.

But before that, Sanchez had no intention of leaving Arsenal before the end of this season.

And now.
Sanchez has indeed decided to leave.
