The 59th minute of the match.
Arsène Wenger first substituted the center-back Eboue, then brought on the forward player Walcott.
Trailing by one goal, Arsenal definitely needed to strengthen their attack.
This substitution was the first shot fired in Arsenal's counter-attack.
The moment Walcott came on, he posed a threat to Liverpool's defense.
The 60th minute of the match.
Walcott received a pass from Wilshere and immediately burst forward with a dribble.
Liverpool player Agger was instantly beaten by Walcott's speed.
After breaking into the penalty area, Walcott swept the ball across the goalmouth, and Chamakh, with a golden opportunity, shot it high over the bar.
That shot made Arsène Wenger, who was watching the match with his neck craned on the sideline, so angry that he couldn't help but wave his arms.
Afterward, Arsène Wenger seemed to remember something, turned around and glanced at the bench, and found that Fly was actually yawning, not focused at all.
Although he was speechless at this behavior, Arsène Wenger still decided to follow his heart: "Fly, get up and warm up, get ready to come on."
Fly was startled when he heard this. After all, he had just been distracted for a moment and didn't expect Arsène Wenger to send him on so soon.
However, given Fly's personality, he definitely wouldn't back down from anything. He immediately jumped up and went to warm up.
"Brother, come on, you can do it!" As he left, Fabregas also offered some encouragement.
"Don't worry, buddy, you probably won't need to play in this match. I can take care of Liverpool by myself!"
Fly spoke without hesitation. Before even stepping onto the field, he had already set a flag.
Fabregas really didn't expect Fly to be so arrogant, but he still gave face and gave a thumbs-up.
Van Persie, who was nearby, couldn't help but curl his lip when he heard Fly's words.
He thought he was already very arrogant, but compared to Fly, he, Van Persie, was simply a gentleman!
The 62nd minute of the match.
Taking advantage of a dead ball situation, Arsène Wenger made his second substitution.
The Fourth Official raised the indicator board, showing the numbers 13 in green and 29 in red.
Among these, the green 13 represented Fly's number, while the red 29 was the shirt number of Chamakh, who had just squandered a great opportunity by shooting high.
Fly replaced Chamakh!
Chamakh on the field saw that he was being substituted, and the person replacing him was Fly, his direct competitor.
His face darkened, and he was greatly displeased!
But he didn't dare to openly show his dissatisfaction, otherwise, if caught by the 360-degree cameras, it would definitely be hyped up by the media.
At that time, whether Chamakh could continue to get playing time would be a question.
After all, given Arsène Wenger's position and power at Arsenal, if he were truly displeased, non-core players like Chamakh would definitely face serious trouble!
He gave Fly a perfunctory hug, then high-fived Arsène Wenger, and Chamakh tried hard to maintain a normal expression as he walked towards the bench.
[Ding dong! Task released!]
[Task Name: League Debut]
[Task Content: 1. Help the team come from behind to win against Liverpool]
[2. Score a goal or provide an assist personally]
[3. Show affection to Taylor Swift in the box after scoring a goal]
[Task Reward: Each task completed grants 100 Intermediate Soft Rice Points. If all three tasks are completed, an additional 100 Advanced Soft Rice Points will be awarded.]
Hearing the strangely familiar task content and rewards, Fly was slightly speechless.
Seriously, System bro, you're too lazy, playing copy-paste with me here?
Besides changing the name AC Milan to Liverpool, are there any other changes?
Complaining is one thing, but Fly definitely had to try his best to complete the system tasks.
If he didn't take advantage of his various "debut" opportunities to earn Soft Rice Points.
It wouldn't be easy to trigger tasks again in subsequent matches.
After all, the system doesn't activate tasks for just any random match.
To put it plainly, except for some very important matches and those of significant meaning to Fly, the host, the system wouldn't even look at ordinary matches.
Liverpool's head coach Hodgson saw that Fly, whom he had dissed in the pre-match press conference, had come on, but he didn't take it seriously.
It was still the same saying, the current Fly was too green in his eyes, and at least for now, he couldn't pose any threat.
But he never expected that as soon as Fly came on, he would slap his face resoundingly.
The 65th minute of the match.
Nasri advanced with the ball near the center circle. Gerrard tracked him step by step, defending. Just as he was about to step forward to interfere, Nasri passed the ball to Arshavin, who had dropped back to receive it.
Arshavin received the ball and dribbled towards the right front. Before Mascherano could step forward to block, he kicked the ball towards the right flank.
Walcott instantly accelerated and successfully chased down the ball kicked by Arshavin.
But Agger had already blocked the cutting-in route, making it difficult for Walcott to sprint directly into the penalty area.
So the Little Tiger accelerated again, forcing his way into the penalty area along the outside.
Agger was forcefully beaten by Walcott's sheer speed, but he also forced Walcott's shooting angle to almost zero.
With no other option, the impulsive Walcott ignored Wilshere, who was asking for the ball in the cut-back position, and instead forced a shot directly.
After hitting the right post, the ball rebounded into the penalty area, and Liverpool's box instantly became chaotic.
Arshavin wanted to contest the ball, but Skrtel cleared it first.
But the ball wasn't cleared very far. After being controlled by Diaby outside the area, he played another horizontal pass to Wilshere at the top of the penalty arc.
As soon as Wilshere received the ball, he was pulled by Mascherano next to him. With no other choice, he could only pass back to Clichy.
Clichy, who had pushed up on the left, took a moment to look after receiving the ball, then launched a high ball towards the center of the penalty area.
At a crucial moment, Carragher won the header and headed the ball out of the penalty area.
However, the area outside the box remained under the control of Arsenal players, and Wilshere stepped forward again to control the ball.
Only this time, he saw Fly raising his hand on the left side of the penalty area, signaling.
Out of trust in Fly's ability, Wilshere didn't hesitate and passed the ball directly to him.
As soon as Fly received the ball, he was pressured by Glen Johnson.
In terms of physical confrontation alone, the current Fly was not his match.
However, Fly didn't give him a comfortable environment for confrontation. Instead, he immediately pulled the ball back, not heading towards the goal.
This way, Johnson, who had been preparing to directly face the charge towards the goal, was suddenly caught off guard.
Fly took advantage of the opponent's momentary hesitation and dribbled a second time, rushing into the penalty area.
Due to the momentary hesitation, Glen Johnson's mind reacted, but his body couldn't keep up. He subconsciously twisted his body, but his feet remained rooted to the spot.
Then his entire body lost balance and crashed to the ground!
