Chapter 775

Liverpool's passing style forced Lokonga and Holding to retreat, and Arsenal's defense began to focus on the two flanks.

Apart from Lacazette, Arsenal now has no one staying in the frontcourt.

Tierney kept staring at Lin Chen, and Martinelli would defend Lin Chen when he was not attacking. Arteta sent his two fastest players to defend Lin Chen!

After Arsenal's defense was forced to concentrate on the flanks, Odegaard passed the ball to Gravenberch. Lin Chen turned around again and started attacking from the middle while Arsenal focused on flank defense!

Gravenberch dribbled the ball forward. At the beginning, Martinelli was defending Lin Chen, but Tierney needed to be wary of Gravenberch's long-range shots, so the two began to defend separately.

It was at this time that Gravenberch passed the ball to Lin Chen.

When Lin Chen received the ball, he did not dribble it. Instead, he stopped the ball and passed it directly to the front left behind him. Gakpo started again, cut inside after receiving the pass from Lin Chen, and dribbled past Ben White with his excellent right leg!

Gabriel wanted to make up for the defense, but Gakpo had already kicked the ball towards the goal!

Lin Chen watched the ball hit Gabriel and then bounce towards Arsenal's goal, which also made Ramsdale miss the best time to save the ball!

Liverpool fans cheered for the team in the Carabao Cup semi-final for the first time in a long time!

Liverpool will definitely make up for the regret of being eliminated last season this season!

"Gakpo got his first goal in the EFL Cup, and he scored it in the semi-final!"

"Look at how Jack is running. He must be very happy!"

"Lin Chen assists Gakpo, Liverpool leads Arsenal in the EFL Cup semi-finals!"

"It's becoming increasingly difficult for Arteta's team to reach the final!"

Arsenal fans were wondering how Arteta would solve the team's problems, but Gakpo's goal seemed to bring the finality to the first half of the EFL Cup semi-final.

When the first half ended, Liverpool had already given Arsenal nine chances to shoot. If it weren't for Ramsdale, Arsenal might have even lost the League Cup semi-final in advance!

"Ramsdale made eight saves in the first half. In this half, Ramsdale was the best goalkeeper!"

Scholes believes that Aaron Ramsdale is the best player in the Arsenal team.

"Martinelli and Saka's breakthroughs on the wing in the first half were unsuccessful. Gravenberch can not only advance quickly for the team, but also help Robertson defend Saka."

"The cooperation between Soboslai and Salah made Odegaard's pass success rate very high, and Lin Chen's performance remained strong."

"Lin Chen created another goal and further increased Arsenal's mistakes. Arsenal didn't see any chance to fight against Liverpool."

"They haven't even got Rodri on yet, they haven't got McAllister on yet, they haven't got Dias on yet."

"If Klopp makes some more substitutions in the second half, Arsenal will have no chance of playing in the Carabao Cup final!"

Scholes seemed to have touched Klopp's heart, because Gullit saw Klopp's substitution adjustments.

McAllister came on to replace Odegaard, Diaz came on to replace Salah, and Gakpo started to play as right winger!

Arteta couldn't make any more substitutions, and even Holding was temporarily brought on to play as a central midfielder. Therefore, when the game entered the second half, Arsenal's performance not only did not improve, but was even worse than in the first half.

Lin Chen has already seen the problem with Lokonga. He and Holding partnered to play in midfield. The main problem is that neither of them has very good defensive ability, and neither of them has very good ability to fill in the position. Therefore, Xhaka's departure is equivalent to causing Arsenal's midfield ability to plummet!
