Chapter 629 Big Score
Arsenal, which adopts a contraction defense, dare not retract too much, because Tottenham Hotspur's long-range shot from the outside of the penalty area is also very good, just like when Yaya or Toure hit Manchester United, he quietly made two very high-quality long-range shots in the second half. Who dares to give up the front of the penalty area?
In this case, the key defense should still be arranged within a 30-meter area, and the defense line should also be maintained at the forefront of the penalty area.
But in this way, Tottenham Hotspur's personal abilities have room and room to display.
When Tottenham Hotspur launched an attack and Fabregas dribbled the ball to the top of the penalty area and wanted to find Cavani and Messi to cooperate, the ball was stabbed by Alexander O'Song. DeNelson dribbled the ball and rushed forward.
But when Denilson just intercepted the ball and went forward, David Silva, who had been guarding Fabregas, made a move and snatched the ball back. This was also a bit too big for Denilson to make contributions.
David Silva intercepted the ball and blocked Denilson behind him, dribbled the ball to the right.
Alexander O-Song immediately followed him in the top of the arc area, while Squillac blocked Cavani tightly, Koscheerny protected him, and left-back Krish also blocked Messi behind, blocking between Messi and David O-Silva.
But just when Arsenal's defensive players felt that their defense had been arranged very closely, David Silva suddenly spiked, gaining a little space from Alexander O's left side, and a delicate and light pass from the left foot.
The height of the ball was not high, just at the height that Alexander, Song and Koscheerny had difficulty blocking, and the speed was relatively fast, and the angle was very good. It passed through the gap between the two players and Krish, directly penetrated Arsenal's entire defense line and came to Messi's feet. Krish, who was originally blocking in front, was blocked behind him by Messi.
In such a dense and narrow range, it is indeed very exquisite and difficult to pass such a ball, but Arsenal's defense is also arranged very closely, especially the distance between the defense line and the goalkeeper is very well controlled.
As soon as goalkeeper Fabianski saw David Silva's pick-up pass, he chose to attack without hesitation. Because the distance is not far, he is confident enough to prevent Messi from shooting directly.
In fact, Messi really didn't have enough time to shoot because Fabianski's attack timing was too good.
But Messi is not a fuel-saving lamp. At the critical moment, he showed the strength and value of his world's top superstar. He chose to face David Silva's pick and pass the ball, gently picked it up again with his left foot, picking the ball over Fabiansky's head, and then rushed over Fabiansky's side, snatching Squillac's left foot before he returned to defense.
With Messi's volley, the ball hit the net, and the distance was very close, Squillac could not stop it at all.
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL”
“at,1”
With Andy Grey's scream, Tottenham Hotspur players rushed out of the stadium quickly, and Messi even rushed out of the baseline and turned around toward David Silva who was rushing towards him. With a tight hug, a group of people stood on the sidelines and celebrated vigorously.
For everyone above and below Tottenham Hotspur, celebrating their goals at home is definitely the most wonderful and magical thing, because there is no more satisfying thing to send the ball into the goal of the arch-rival home. I believe that at this moment, all Tottenham Hotspur fans will celebrate the goals in front of the TV.
"A very, very, very, very exquisite attack"
Andy Grey seemed very excited, "David Silva's pass was very beautiful, very beautiful, but at the same time, Messi's handling was also beautiful. He picked the goalkeeper and then volleyed the ball, which reflected Messi's reaction speed to deal with mutations in a short time, as well as his delicate skills, and he could almost score goals in various ways."
Perhaps because he felt that his previous sentence was not rigorous enough, Andy Grey quickly added, "Of course, Messi's header is indeed a big weakness, but he was able to use his almost magical feet to bring everyone a fascinating feeling. He has created surprises for us again and again."
The live broadcast camera was constantly replaying the entire process of David Silva's pass and Messi's volleyball shot just now. The whole process gave people a very relaxed feeling, and everyone could see that this ease was actually based on his strong technical skills.
"The current situation is too bad for Arsenal, because they must realize that Tottenham has completely played in its form. Arsenal has not brought too much defensive pressure to Tottenham in the first twenty minutes. They are almost unprepared.
"It will definitely be a painful blow to Arsenal, especially considering that the game has just started less than half an hour, if there is no way to curb Tottenham's strong offensive well, Tottenham Hotspur will definitely continue to score goals in the future."
Andy Grey made his own professional judgment. I believe that at this moment, no one will think that Tottenham Hotspur will give up. This is definitely not the Tottenham Hotspur style, because the North London team is best at completely knocking you until the end of the game. The whistle sounds
After conceding consecutive goals, Arsenal players also had some uneasy situations, including Squillac and Alexander or Song, who received a yellow card in the defense, but the real question is that it happened after entering thirty minutes.
When he tried to break through Tottenham's defense one-on-one with Kompany, Chamak was intercepted by Kompany, but the Arsenal striker immediately launched a counter-robbery. During the counter-robbery process, there was a very obvious pulling action under the referee's nose. The referee blew the foul whistle without hesitation.
"Wow, this is a very obvious card-winning move. Chamake already has a yellow card. Will he get another yellow card? You know, Philip O Dodd has always been known for his fairness and seriousness. Will he directly send red cards to the home team players within half an hour this time?" Andy O Grey's words were a bit suspicious of fear of chaos in the world.
But it was obvious that the referee still did not have such courage. In the end, he just called Chamak to his side, scolded him loudly, and warned the Gunners player that this was a very serious warning. If another malicious foul action was made, it would be a red card regardless of the plot.
At the same time, Philip Dodd also specially called Tottenham Hotspur captain Thiago Silva and explained to him the reason for making this penalty. After all, this is Arsenal's home court, and Tottenham Hotspur has already led two goals. At this time, another Arsenal player is a bit of a suspicion of killing the game.
Thiago Silva has been the captain of the team for a long time. He knows the referee's law enforcement art and standards very well, so he nods to show that he can understand the referee's intentions and gives full affirmation and support. However, he hopes that the referee can warn Arsenal that it is best for them to do less dangerous actions.
You should know that many times, Arsenal players defend in a desperate situation, while the referee sometimes sees it and doesn't blow it, and sometimes doesn't see it. After all, this kind of thing happens every game.
Chamak did not receive the Ruby Good Man Card, which made Arsenal feel relieved, but the referee's serious coach also made them a little restrained when defending and did not dare to get too entangled. However, when their strength was at a clear disadvantage, their morale and the situation on the field were obviously inferior to their opponents, the result of losing the weapon of hand-to-hand combat was that the scene was more passive.
Cavani and Messi scored goals one after another, Ribery looked very active and wanted to score goals very actively. After all, the other two players in the Trident scored, and it would be a bit embarrassing if you didn't score.
Just saw Marcelo intervening forward, David Silva passed the ball to the left. After Marcelo got the ball, he attracted Sarnia and knocked back to Ribery in the left corner of the penalty area. Squillac rushed up immediately, while Ribery made a fake move to make a move to the bottom and suddenly spiked the ball horizontally and cut inward.
Alexander Osong, who had already returned to the penalty area, moved over immediately and wanted to join forces with Squillac to block Ribery. After all, the most threatening thing after cutting inside was to directly shoot the ball.
In fact, even in a one-on-two situation, facing the attack direction, Ribery still took the initiative and got his own advantage. In the process of cutting in, before Squillac and Alexander or Song formed an encirclement, he suddenly took a long shot and fired a powerful shot from the penalty area line.
The ball was oriented towards the lower right corner, goalkeeper Fabianski flew to make a save, blocking Ribery's shot from the goal, but Cavani quickly followed up and volleyed under Koscheerny's disturbance. However, because the angle of the ball was not well controlled, he hit a ground rebound.
At this time, Fabiansky, who fell to the ground, still showed his strength and once again blocked Cavani's shot with low quality, resolving the crisis twice in a row, making Arsenal fans feel lucky and surprised.
But their hearts had not fallen yet, but Messi appeared on the small penalty area line like a ghost. Fabiansky hit the ball, and a volley shot. The ball passed Fabiansky and Koscheerny who returned to defense, and crashed into Arsenal's goal.
At this moment, Tottenham Hotspur's trident had different expressions. Cavani and Ribery were obviously regretting. This was originally their goal, but in the end it was cheaper Messi. The Argentinian, who scored two goals in a row, rushed up excitedly, hugged Cavani without asking the reason, and celebrated the goal on the sidelines.
Although the three players cooperate well and have excellent team consciousness, everyone hopes to perform better. Whether it is Ribery and Messi, the two superstars, or the rising star Cavani, they all hope to prove their strength with more outstanding performance and better goals.
Therefore, although they have a good relationship with each other, there is also healthy competition.
Andy Grey was puzzled by Arsenal's defensive arrangement and position. "Look at Ribery's cut inwards, Squeragic and Alexander Song, plus Koscheerney and Krish next to him, both stood in a straight line, so after Ribery cut inwards, if I don't choose to shoot directly by myself, I'm surprised."
"The main problem with Arsenal's defense is that when Tottenham pulls the ball to the side or attacks the middle, their defense can effectively form targeted defense, but when the ball is transferred from the side to the middle or from the middle to the side, problems will arise when Arsenal's defense changes."
"After all, this has problems with the player's strength, and the head coach's defensive positioning factors.
But just less than three minutes after Andy Grey's speech and less than two minutes after the last goal, Tottenham Hotspur got another chance.
Ribery just entered Arsenal's 30-meter area and received a pass from David Silva in the middle of the left side. When he saw that Arsenal's defense line had not been fully arranged, he suddenly accelerated and chose to dribble the ball and cut inward, rushing directly to the top of the penalty area, and then directly took a long shot from the left side.
If the game screen is frozen at this moment, you will find that in the whole picture, there are six defensive players in Arsenal appearing at the front of the penalty area, two of whom face Ribery, and one is looking at Cavani. In addition, Arteta, Denilsen, Rosici and others have also returned to the defense to provide assistance, and the advantages within the entire 30-meter area are very obvious.
But the problem is that Ribery's long shot directly penetrated Fabiansky's goal, 40
Such a goal was lost, Wenger, who was sitting on the home team's coaching seat, couldn't sit still, rushed to the sidelines, and loudly scolded the players on the court. He was obviously wondering what they were thinking on the court?
Six people defended two opponents, and they also made it easy for them to get a chance to kick and score a goal?
"Arsenal's defense is like a piece of paper, it has become riddled with holes and powerless." Andy Grey was also helpless about this. No one expected that the first half would become such a situation. Tottenham Hotspur scored four goals in just about 40 minutes.
Too surprising
This is still the competition between two Premier League giants, two teams that are the most gorgeous in the Premier League and admire the most technology and details? This is still the Arsenal, who once swept Europa in an unbeaten season.
"I still remember that Wenger made predictions on his team's players at the beginning of the season. He once said that you may not know the group of young or new players in Arsenal now, but that doesn't matter, because after a season, you will be shocked by their strength and performance."
Andy Grey recounted what Wenger said when she was interviewed by the media before the season and expressed her optimistic and positive views on the new season. "We are really shocked now. Perhaps Arsenal has performed very well when facing some other Premier League teams, but we also noticed that their performance in this game shocked us."
"But it's a pity that we believe is not what Wenger wants to see, nor is it the kind of shock he said at the beginning, but we are actually shocking that Arsenal's defense is so weak and vulnerable. We even wonder how Wenger will rely on this group of players to enter the top four of the league? Or even win the championship?"
In this game, Arsenal's defense was indeed terrible, and even in the team, it was obviously very bad. He couldn't hold the ball in the frontcourt, so he lost the ball as soon as it arrived in the frontcourt. Tottenham's counterattack was accurate, which almost made Arsenal exhausted.
"This kind of game is very beneficial for Tottenham Hotspur, because their physical energy consumption is not large. They are completely using their passes and receiving to pull and mobilize Arsenal players to run. However, the physical energy consumption of Arsenal players is very obvious because when they are not able to passes and receive, they can only use running to fill the gap."
Speaking of this, Andy Grey was a little sympathetic, "I hope Wenger can realize this problem early, but if we look at the situation in the whole first half, what I hope more is that Arsenal's management sees that there is already a huge gap in strength between himself and the Premier League team."
"We can even say that Arsenal is now winning the league championship, not to mention winning the league, even in the competition for the top four in the Premier League, or even in the competition for European qualifications, they are not sure, because the overall competitive strength of the Premier League is already completely different from the two heroes who competed for the top four in the past, and the monopoly of the semi-finals later
"While teams such as Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City, West Ham United and Newcastle have greatly strengthened their team's combat effectiveness, Arsenal's strength has not improved at all, which has become a regression in the overall trend of the Premier League."
The first half ended with Tottenham's 40 lead.
When referee Philip Dodd re-entered the player channel, he could neither hear boos nor cheers in the stands from the Emirates Stadium, because Philip Dodd, as the referee, had actually done well enough. At least he had let Arsenal lose a red card and fully took care of the emotions of the home team fans.
But they can't cheer, because their team is now behind the arch-rival team with a nearly impossible score, which is absolutely unacceptable for Arsenal fans.
In this case, they chose to remain silent.
Chapter completed!
