Xiao Ge's goal in the 21st minute helped Arsenal lead Wigan 1-0 away into the second half.
After Xiao Ge scored a goal with his personal ability, the Wigan players were certainly not willing to give in. If they failed to win Arsenal at home, they would not want to advance to the League Cup final from Highbury.
From the perspective of the season, this seemed a bit like a fantasy, so during midfield, Jewell asked his players to launch an offensive and try to equalize the score first.
At the beginning of the second half, Wigan, with the cheers of the fans in the audience, actively fought in the midfield and launched several attacks. The two forwards, one high and one fast, combined for a while, which made Arsenal's midfield and backfield overwhelmed.
Na used his counterattack opportunities many times to constantly put pressure on Wigan's defense. The two sides played very anxiously for a while.
The offenses of both sides were vigorous, and the rhythm of the game changed in the 58th minute.
Wigan's Connolly's low shot was saved by Almunia. Arsenal immediately launched a counterattack. Ljungberg first passed McCulloch on the right, then cut in at high speed into the middle and hit the target.
After the edge of the penalty area, his right foot took advantage of the situation and Xiao Ge pulled over to respond.
After receiving the ball from Ljungberg, Xiao Ge was caught in the defense of three opponents. Therefore, Xiao Ge did not choose to dribble the ball. Instead, he cooperated with Ljungberg on the wing and then sent the ball to the high speed.
At the feet of Ljungberg.
After Ljungberg got the ball, he took advantage of several Wigan players to block Xiao Ge before he could return to the defense. He rushed into the penalty area and accelerated a few steps. Wigan's defense line immediately became anxious, and Dezeu rushed over to block it.
block.
Deep in the penalty area, Ljungberg was blocked by Dezeu. He had no chance. He tapped his ankle and passed the ball to the center. Polit did not pounce on the ball. Unfortunately, Flamini, who followed up, tackled the ball in the center.
The shot missed the goal and Arsenal lost an excellent opportunity to score.
After seeing his team escape the disaster, Jewell finally admitted that he made a mistake in attacking Arsenal. His team was not strong enough to pose an absolute danger to Arsenal on the ground attack.
After being beaten by Arsenal several threatening attacks, Jewell quickly made a gesture and consciously asked the players to slow down the pace of the game first. He knew that once Arsenal played such a fast-paced attack, it would probably
Scored a goal again.
Jewell quickly replaced Scoko and removed Connolly. The formation changed to 451. He first adjusted his own tactics on the field. Only after stabilizing the defense, he could then counterattack, hoping to find the gap where Arsenal could press him.
The players can succeed in sneak attacks, and when necessary, Tiller can also play back to the forward position.
The game entered the dull tipping time. After Wigan players got the ball, they frequently tipped the ball in the backcourt. Their ground attack could not open Arsenal's goal. They had to follow Jewell's arrangement and put heavy troops in the defense to fight.
Defensive counterattack.
Wigan played steadily here, planning to use defense to wear down Arsenal's patience, hoping that Arsenal would make a mistake, but Arsenal did not want it. Seeing the opponent huddled in half-court like a tortoise, Arsenal's offense became more and more fierce.
Hleb and Ljungberg were like two sharp knives, frequently piercing Wigan's sides, while Xiao Ge was like an anti-aircraft gun at the ready, constantly threatening Wigan's back line.
In the 63rd minute of the game, Ljungberg broke into a cross, Xiao Ge's header went back, Abeye hit the goal from 7 meters away, but Dezeu made a clearance in front of the goal line, and Silva missed a heavy shot and was beaten by
Pollitt pulled out the crossbar; in the 68th minute, Hleb's corner kick and Senderos' header were saved by Pollitt; in the 75th minute, Xiao Ge and Hleb had two consecutive one-twos
As soon as he cooperated, he broke into the penalty area and passed the ball to Ljungberg for a one-on-one shot. However, Ljungberg followed up and the shot flew directly out of the far post, missing the perfect opportunity to score.
After more than 20 minutes of siege, Arsenal's offense, led by Xiao Ge, was still unabated. The attack was like a tide, continuous. Although they failed many times, defensively, the Arsenal players
He didn't get too impatient and acted very steadily on the scene.
At this time, Jewell finally became anxious. After playing for so long, although his team's defense was perfect and did not give Arsenal any chance to score, Arsenal's midfield and backfield did not lose touch because the team's offense was fruitless. Now
His own team was lagging behind, and the anxious Jewell finally asked his team to strengthen their attack.
Wigan players organized several ground attacks and stormed Arsenal's backcourt. At this time, it was Arsenal's turn to counterattack. Arsenal could finally take advantage of their coordination and technology.
After Sigan intercepted Roberts' ball in the backcourt, he immediately sent the ball to the feet of Flamini, who was advancing at high speed.
At this time, the Wigan players had just stepped forward to attack. After Arsenal intercepted the ball, the entire midfield line suddenly slowed down. Flamini was not greedy for the ball and quickly distributed the ball to Hleb's side.
Hleb was still in his own half just now. After seeing Xigan stealing the ball, he had already started rushing towards the opponent's court. When he saw Flamini sending the ball in front of him, he picked up the speed again and caught the ball.
Hleb was very fast and it was difficult for the Wigan players still behind him to catch him, but Chimbanda had quickly blocked the ball.
Tiller behind Hleb and Brad in the midfield had already returned to their own half. After Chimbanda's delay, they quickly followed Hleb and were ready to press at any time.
After Hleb ran with the ball for twenty meters, he saw that the opponent was approaching and did not slow down. When he was approaching Chimbanda, he moved his toes to the right, twisted his waist and abdomen, and quickly missed the opponent.
He grabs the long legs and cuts inwards.
Chimbanda saw Hleb changing direction. Although he lost his position, his movements were not slow and he quickly stuck to Hleb's side. At this time, Brad had come over and was ready to attack Hleb.
However, after Hleb cut inside, he didn't carry too much. He got ahead of Brad's double team. His body trend remained unchanged, but he handed the ball to his left foot, flicked the outside instep, and easily sent the ball out.
Abeye was already on the left to receive the ball, and after Hleb sent the ball, he immediately changed direction and moved to the left again.
After Abeye got the ball, he quickly moved the ball to the right. Kavanagh stuck closely to his side, blocking his position.
Abeye's breakthrough route was blocked, and the sound of high-speed running came from behind. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that Hleb had already thrown away the defender and accelerated to cover the edge. Abeye gently moved the inside of his right foot, and the ball hit again.
Go to the left.
The ball rolled, Hleb's figure flashed out, and with a flick of his toes, he quickly changed the path of the ball. He picked up speed and quickly headed into the penalty area.
Seeing Hleb rush into the penalty area, Brad hurriedly pursued the defense, and Dezewu also began to give up on Xiao Ge and came to block it, while Chimbanda also followed closely behind Hleb.
At this time, Hleb was like a swimming fish. In front of the three blocks, he found a gap for his ball. He tipped his right foot and the ball quickly flew over Brad's head.
The ball flew to the left side of the penalty area, where Dezeu had already arrived. The ball was already flying towards the left side of his chest. He sped up to catch up, preparing to make a big-foot clearance.
But one person reacted faster than him, and that was Xiao Ge who was in the penalty area. After seeing Hleb entering the penalty area, he was already ready to respond. When he discovered Dezeu's supplementary defense, Xiao Ge first deliberately
Move down, move closer to the small penalty area, and after driving Henchoz to move, suddenly accelerate and start rushing to the left.
Henchoz, who was pulling from behind, felt a force thrown out and wanted to tighten it, but Xiao Ge's burst of power was too strong and sudden. By the time he followed Xiao Ge, Xiao Ge's long legs had already been stretched out.
.
Dezeu thought he could definitely get the ball, but soon, he heard the sound of running from behind, getting closer and closer, and he hurriedly accelerated, trying to get the ball first.
The ball appeared in Xiao Ge's sight. Seeing Dezeu also speeding up to steal the ball, Xiao Ge couldn't let him take the lead. He raised his body and his speed increased a lot. In an instant, he was close to Dezeu's head.
Next to him, De Zewu was pressing against Xiao Ge, refusing to give an inch. Almost at the same time, the two of them stretched out their legs to get the ball.
De Zewu's long legs flew into the air to sweep the ball, but Xiao Ge stretched his legs even higher and lightly lifted the toes of his right foot. The ball rose again and flew behind the two of them. De Zewu looked back in panic.
He looked forward, but the ball was much faster than his movements and soon fell to his back.
After Xiao Ge picked the ball, he had already made the next move. When he saw Henchoz coming over, he half-turned his body, hit the ball with the instep of his left foot, moved his body quickly downward, dribbled the ball quickly, and grabbed the ball before Germany
Zewu turned around and headed into the small penalty area.
Seeing Xiao Ge starting up again, Henchoz quickly followed up and intercepted Xiao Ge's dribbling.
But Xiao Ge's strength is not as thin as he looks on the outside. He moves his feet downwards and pokes, using his own acceleration, he squeezes out of Henchoz's blockage, takes a few more steps, and throws away Henchoz's blockage.
Pulling it directly forms a single knife.
When Pollitt saw Xiao Ge pick the ball, he had already moved to the near corner, but he did not expect that Henchoz was passed by so easily. He hurriedly stepped forward to block it, hoping to reduce the angle of Xiao Ge's shot.
As soon as Xiao Ge shook off Henchoz, Pollitt had already appeared in front of him and pounced on his ball.
Seeing that Pollitt's long body was already in front of him, Xiao Ge did not hit the goal rashly, but instead accelerated to close the distance between the two. Then his body suddenly moved to the right, and the ball jumped beside his right foot, trying to get ahead of the opponent.
Jump over the opponent the moment you fall to the ground to tackle the ball.
Polite, who had already fallen to the ground, noticed Xiao Ge's movements and subconsciously slowed down his fall to the ground. He moved his left hand down to the side and tried to knock off the ball.
But at this moment, Xiao Gesheng stopped the trend of his body. He kicked his right foot and followed up with his left foot. His body jumped directly over Polit, but the ball went faster from Polit's right.
The armpit flew low, hit the far end column with a "pop" sound, and bounced in.
Xiao Ge shocked Polite with a small move. This small move was given to Xiao Ge by Henry. Not every goal needs to be powerful and heavy.
"gooooooooooooooo~~~~~~~~~~~~~l, Xiao, Xiao deceived Pollitt and scored a wonderful shot, our captain scored the second goal, qualified captain, perfect
Captain——Xiao!!!!!!” Senke will never lack passion.
"Xiao, Xiao, Xiao~~~~~~~~~~" At this time, Xiao Ge rushed in front of a small group of Arsenal fans and waved his left arm to signal the Arsenal fans to cheer more.
"Xiao, you did a great job, you are a qualified captain." "Captain, you did a great job." ~~~~~~~~~~ Returning to the Arsenal team, teammates also celebrated with Xiao Ge.
Wigan, who were two goals behind at this time, were naturally unwilling to do so. After the kick-off, they immediately pressed forward with troops, hoping to score in the remaining seven or eight minutes.
However, the more Arsenal played, the more confident they became, frequently using their counterattacks to create threats in the frontcourt, and Xiao Ge remained Arsenal's leading player.
In the 88th minute of the game, Silva made a long pass from the backcourt. After Xiao Ge received the ball, he followed up with a through ball. Ljungberg succeeded in countering offside and succeeded in a sneak attack, sealing the victory 3-0.
"Beep~beep~beep~~" As Webb's whistle sounded, the game ended. Arsenal defeated Wigan 3-0 away from home in the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals, and already had one foot in the final.
