Chapter 20: Captain Parallel's Counterattack

"Behind!!"

"Be careful!!"

"Don't get robbed!!"

"One touch!"

"Too slow!!"

The Arsenal players shouted vigorously. They kept reminding their teammates and conveying information while attacking and communicating.

But Liverpool's counter-attack was very strong, especially in the midfield, which was extremely fast and powerful.

As soon as Mane got the ball, he failed to stop the first kick. Just when he wanted to stop the ball, Henderson and Gomez rushed up.

Henderson used brute force to hit Mane fiercely. Even though the latter had a certain expectation, he was still knocked off.

Henderson also used this gap to fish out the ball.

When Mane saw that the ball was broken, he immediately turned around and sprinted to counter-rob.

Others also rushed up quickly.

Mane's counter-robbery was equally fierce, and he kept using his body to hit Henderson.

But the latter's solid and advantageous lower body ensured the stability of dribbling. While bearing Mane's collision, he observed his teammates' running positions and finally passed the ball to a safe position.

But after a while, the ball was intercepted again.

Lekai rushed out horizontally, and with a fierce sliding tackle, he intercepted the ball neatly and kicked it directly to Wilshere.

As soon as Wilshere got the ball, Henderson rushed over again.

The two fought, and finally Wilshere fell to the ground.

Beep! ! !

The referee blew the whistle, indicating that Henderson had committed a foul.

The latter did not argue, but turned around and shouted for his teammates to retreat to defend.

At this moment, Henderson was like a defensive warrior.

"This guy is so fierce!"

Wilshere got up from the ground and frowned slightly at Henderson's back.

During the European Cup, Henderson's performance was not so good, but after returning to the club, this guy became extremely active in both offense and defense.

And from the two previous pressings, it can be seen that this guy deliberately expanded his defensive area and used the form of running to cover the defense.

Lekai also nodded solemnly.

Before, Lekai's impression of Henderson was very vague. Although he was the captain of Liverpool, he did not show any strong ability.

His tactical status was not high, and he was more doing dirty and tiring work.

In this game, Henderson seemed to have found his position in the team. His active counter-pressing and effective advancement really made Arsenal feel very uncomfortable.

"Henderson!! Two consecutive pressings helped Liverpool stabilize the rhythm in the midfield. Since the start of the game, we seem to see Henderson everywhere. His active running has brought great positive value to Liverpool!"

[To be honest, I have been using the source change app to read books and follow the updates recently. It can switch sources and read aloud in many tones. It can be used on Android and Apple. 】

"And his playing style also provides a great bonus for Liverpool!"

Henderson is still constantly reminding and encouraging his teammates.

Henderson was full of fighting spirit at the moment. Although he was not tall, he seemed to be full of infinite energy.

The most important thing was that desperate momentum, which completely led the Liverpool team.

The mad dog tactics became more and more sharp under the leadership of Henderson.

"Press it up!!!"

"Kill him!"

"Beautiful!! Van Dijk!"

Henderson's voice ran through the whole game, and his positive performance was also inspiring Liverpool's players.

The Liverpool fans in the stands were even more surprised.

Their captain performed so well, which made them extremely excited.

And Klopp on the sidelines showed a relieved smile.

This is what a captain should look like.

At this time, Arsenal's attack failed, and the ball flew to the center circle.

Henderson was the first to get into position. He first turned his head to look at Lucky and found that the latter was also rushing here.

Just as Lucky was about to get close, he suddenly lowered his body and held Lucky.

"This guy!!"

Lekai pushed forward with all his strength, but he found that he couldn't push forward.

With his center of gravity sinking, Henderson firmly occupied the landing point.

Henderson was also struggling at this time. Lekai's ability to fight was too strong, and he was about to give up.

When the ball was about to land, he used his remaining strength to lift his toes to unload the ball, and passed the ball with the instep.

Immediately, he fell headfirst!

Lekai immediately turned around and ran wildly.

But he found that Henderson, who should have fallen, had climbed up and chased him desperately from behind!

Lekai's eyes kept scanning the position of the opponent's players, and suddenly shouted; "Bellerin, watch him!!"

Bellerin quickly attacked Salah, but Salah suddenly stopped and changed direction and forcibly pulled out the gap for cutting in.

"Oops!"

Bellerin was startled and wanted to quickly block the opponent's route to cut in, but he was still a step slower.

Salah cut inside, and Arsenal's defense was in danger!

At this moment, the coaches on both sides stood up almost at the same time.

Lucky chased back with all his strength.

Facing two central defenders, Salah made an extremely tricky pass.

The ball arced in the low air, bypassing Lucky's front and coming to the other side.

Lucky immediately twisted his waist and rushed over.

But Henderson threw his whole body out at this moment.

He could clearly feel the ball hitting his head, which was a very solid and stable impact.

With a swish.

The ball went into the field.

In the 17th minute of the first half, Liverpool scored the first goal with a quick counterattack.

This goal made the whole stadium boil!

"Henderson!!!!!!"

"He ran hard without sparing his physical strength to create this goal!! A very wonderful goal!!!!"

Accompanied by the cheers of the live commentator, the whole Anfield stadium boiled.

Everyone was shouting Henderson's name.

And the Liverpool players quickly surrounded him.

Henderson was pressed under his teammates, and his face was full of smiles.

Fighting to win!

As the captain of Liverpool, he has questioned himself many times.

During the most difficult time when Gerrard retired, he didn't know why he became the captain.

He didn't think he had the talent and energy to be the captain.

But he was put in this position. The most ridiculous thing is that before, he was nicknamed "parallel imports" by Liverpool fans.

And then he became a parallel import captain!

His performance was still not as expected.

After repeated misreporting and struggling to get up, he finally recognized a reality.

He is no longer a little kid playing football behind Gerrard. He now wears Liverpool's captain's armband and is the captain of the Red Army.

He needs to play braver and have more fighting spirit!

He doesn't know how to do it, but he firmly believes that running again and again will eventually bring him changes.

Just like now!

The counterattack of the captain of the parallel import?

This is really good!

In the Liverpool coaching booth on the sidelines, Klopp was also applauding with satisfaction.

He has always seen Henderson's efforts, and he also firmly believes that Henderson is an excellent and hard-working player who meets all the conditions for being a captain.

And this game also proved this!

This goal was completely a goal that Liverpool fought for under the leadership of Henderson.

A great goal!

"Liverpool is fighting for the midfield rhythm! That Chen is the smoke bomb they played. They hope we will focus more on the front line!"

Mourinho narrowed his eyes slightly, and he turned to look at Klopp.

This guy is really daring!

Placing a trap at one of Arsenal's strongest points, aren't you afraid of getting out of hand?

But it must be said that Liverpool played very well before.

"Don't we need to do something?" Arteta said anxiously.

Falling behind away from home is not good news.

In response, Mourinho said calmly; "No! Look at the field"

"Field?"

Arteta looked at the field and saw Lucky climbing up from the penalty area.

Lucky's jersey was covered with grass debris. He wiped the sweat on his hands casually, but the most oppressive thing was his eyes.

Arsenal's players looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little weird.

At this time, Lucky walked towards Hummels: "Mine!"

Lucky failed to hold the ball in the midfield, and when he turned back, he failed to limit Henderson.

In this defense, Lucky did not play enough defensive performance.

But no one at Arsenal dared to say anything about Lucky's problem.

"Don't mind, come on!"

Hummels comforted.

Lekai nodded and turned around: "Don't worry, I will make it up to you!"

"Definitely!"

Looking at Lekai's eyes, Hummels shuddered for no reason.

Those eyes seemed to be filled with raging flames.

At the same time, Mourinho off the court said calmly; "Kai has been completely enraged!"
