Wenger's shouting did not have much effect. Arsenal's players had entered a highly concentrated game state and could not stop whenever they wanted. Even if some players were aware of it, the entire team was running at high speed.
We have to wait until this series of attacks is completed.
But before Arsenal could finish this attack, it suddenly came to an abrupt end. Bell changed direction too quickly, got mixed up with his feet, and fell directly into the penalty area.
The skinny Bell wanted to protect the ball immediately, but Weir came up behind him. Bell did not have the advantage in the confrontation, and the ball was intercepted by Weir.
After Weir unexpectedly stole the ball, he opened the ball directly and sent it to the midfield.
When Bale fell, Arteta had already turned around smartly. When the ball was delivered, he just took advantage of the situation and quickly started. Everton's fatal counterattack appeared again.
"Go back quickly!" "Go back quickly!" "Arteta, gogogogogogo!"~~~
The change of offense and defense was too fast. Before Arsenal's defender could come back, Arteta had already opened the door. The whole stadium was roaring, and the noise filled everyone's ears, but no one felt uncomfortable.
, all their minds were focused on No. 6, who was advancing at high speed.
"Damn it!"
Seeing that Senderos failed to stop Arteta, Wenger knew something was wrong. He left his seat in frustration and watched Arteta send the ball behind Toure.
Beatty came out from behind Toure, took advantage of the situation, and directly entered the penalty area, forming a single sword. He paused and saw a huge figure jumping out. He rubbed his feet and hit the diagonal directly, trying to pass through.
Lyman's armpit.
Lyman, who had noticed Biddy a long time ago, jumped out immediately. Looking at Biddy's leg shape, he subconsciously spread his legs, like a four-clawed fish.
"Bang" and "bang", in less than a second, two completely different voices rang in Lehman's ears. Lehman blocked it and looked back almost immediately, only to find that the ball was on the edge of the net.
Rolling, it is impossible to tell whether the ball has gone in for a while.
"Oh my god, damn it, the Germans!" "How did he jump on it?"...
After a few seconds of silence, the Arsenal fans in the stands cheered Lehmann's name and screamed with joy, while a small group of blue crowd paused for a moment, sighing and shaking their heads.
Beatty's shot was blocked by Lehmann's hand, which changed the angle and power, and rolled out from the outside of the left post in a thrilling way, causing everyone to go through a roller coaster ride.
"Phew, damn, it's so thrilling." "**."~~~
Arsenal's players entered their own penalty area to defend the corner kick with lingering fear.
The Everton players also put away their disappointed mood and quickly devoted themselves to the attack.
After Arteta sent a corner kick, he hoisted it into the back post. Xiao Ge took the lead in pushing the ball out during the competition with Hilbert. However, the ball still fell to the unguarded Cahill and shot directly from a long distance.
Fortunately, he exerted too much force and hit the ball high.
After this time, Arsenal consciously controlled the ball and stopped attacking wildly. They slowly dropped the ball. Toure and others no longer pressed too hard, and the entire attack suddenly came to a halt.
After finally getting through this crisis, Wenger's face finally recovered. Now Wenger hopes to open Everton's door in a normal attack. However, as the game progresses, Wenger's face becomes more and more ugly.
He did not reach the coaching bench, but kept pacing the sidelines, looking at the situation on the court, his brows not relaxing for a moment.
After thirty minutes of indiscriminate bombardment, Arsenal's offense yielded no results. In addition, the opponent scored a goal and narrowly missed a goal. The firepower dropped significantly. The offense was far inferior to that of the previous period. They were too cautious.
He did not use his delicate coordination and penetration was not sharp enough. Instead, he fell into simple passing.
Van Persie made three good moves. Due to Adebayor and Pires' hesitation, when they passed the ball again, the opportunities were blocked by Everton players. Van Persie was so angry that he roared.
Everton still maintained its tepid offense, but still tried its best defensively. In the last ten minutes, the game went calmly, and Arsenal failed to organize an effective attack.
"Beep" As Steers blew the whistle, the first half of the game ended. To everyone's surprise, Arsenal trailed Everton 0-1 at home.
"Hoo~~~~" the exclamation echoed over Highbury for a long time. Arsenal fans did not expect that their team would fall behind the away stadium. They stared at the stadium in disbelief, watching their players leave the field.
.
I don’t know since when, Arsenal fans have become accustomed to their team’s wild victories over their opponents. It has been too long since they have witnessed their team lagging behind their opponents at home, which is hard for them to accept for a while.
Wenger shook his head helplessly and was very dissatisfied with the performance of the Arsenal players in the first half. He looked at Xiao Ge's back thoughtfully.
Compared with the disappointment of Arsenal fans, Everton seemed particularly excited. A small blue crowd high-fived and hugged each other, chanting the name of Van der Meyde who scored in the first half. Nothing is better than leading by one away away.
There is nothing more worthy of pride than a strong team.
During this period, the fans of both sides were bickering. Arsenal fans were so complacent that they hated it. Now that they saw their team leading into half-time, Everton fans finally let out a bad breath.
"Oh my god, it's so hard to believe that Everton is actually leading Arsenal in the away game. If it hadn't been for Lehmann's block, Arsenal might have entered the second half with a score of 0-2."
Adams said with a hint of sigh.
"Yes, Everton's defense against Arsenal today was the best in the past few games. They very accurately blocked Xiao Ge's route of receiving the ball and passing it to his teammates. Even if
If a teammate has any loopholes, other Everton players will quickly help him fix it. Such tight team defense is the reason why they took the lead in the first half today."
Although Matthew is an Arsenal fan, it does not hinder his understanding of the game process.
"Yes, Everton played smarter than Arsenal today. On the contrary, Arsenal were too impatient today and wanted to attack the opponent's penalty area. After escaping, they obviously controlled the attack.
The rhythm of the game suddenly suppressed their own offensive. Arsenal's offense was forced to change with Everton's defense. They failed to play their own rhythm.
In the first half, Arsenal looked like a country with the most advanced weapons, but they were displayed all at once and were stolen and cracked one by one. Instead, it was the opponent's sneak attack from behind that caused Arsenal to suffer a big loss. However, Xiao's situation
Something's wrong, we didn't see him too much today, I'm not used to it."
Adams followed up by analyzing Arsenal's difficulties.
"Well, Xiao's performance in the first half was very average. There was nothing particularly outstanding. I think he should get himself excited. Robin has been waiting for him for a long time in the first half.
Now it depends on how Arthur adjusts in the second half. I think the most important thing is to maintain the mentality of the Arsenal players. Arsenal has maintained the advantage for too long and treated the victory too lightly." Matthew finally pointed out Arsenal.
Na's goal in the first half.
※※※※※
"What were you doing in the first half! Were you fighting in groups?! Or were you flying around like flies?!
What I want is not this kind of attack, rhythm, rhythm! Control the rhythm of the game!
Instead of being led and beaten by the opponent, what does attacking look like! Do babies draw pictures!
What about the last period of time? Did you get caught on the grass, and you were so hesitant! Passing and cutting instead of meaningless passing."
As soon as Wenger entered the locker room, he gave him a scolding. It had been too long since he had scolded these guys. It was time to remind them of his severity.
The Arsenal players listened expressionlessly, not daring to say anything.
"Huh" "Okay, I don't want to see you perform like this in the second half. Highbury doesn't want to close the FA Cup.
In the second half, I want you to control the rhythm on the court, seize the initiative, and maintain your focus. Otherwise, I will increase his training volume in training.
Xiao, in the first half, you acted like a sheep, without any threat. This is not the result I want. In the second half, I want to see you hunting the whole audience, otherwise there will be no negotiation, understand!
....."
Wenger glanced at each player sharply and spoke sternly about Xiao Ge.
In the first half, Xiao Ge was not as active as before, or as purposeful as before, so Wenger directly pointed to him. Under the shock of Xiao Ge and the stunned expressions of the players, he quickly adjusted his second half.
The layout was communicated once.
"Well done, kids, just like you did in training, destroy their possible offensive routes, and make sure they force him to disrupt the rhythm themselves.
Arteta may strengthen their control of the ball in the second half, and you need to connect the passes in the midfield and frontcourt.
Neville, Cahill, you two must not be careless, the opponent's offense will be more careful, Vale Ferrari, you must also pay attention to the movement of the opponent's players.
Van der Meyde, continue to guard Xiao in the second half, use your speed to keep up with him, and let other players block Xiao from behind, do you understand?"
"clear!!!".......
"What's wrong, Xiao." Xiao Ge's mind was still filled with Wenger's stern look, but he found that Henry had already sat next to him.
"No...it's nothing, captain, don't worry." Xiao Ge suddenly felt confused, and when he saw Henry's eyes, he shook his head.
"Haha, try to find the feeling of scoring a goal, Xiao, you will find something different." Henry patted Xiao Ge's shoulder and said a few incomprehensible words.
The ten-minute break passed quickly.
"Huhuhuhu"~~~"Arsenal, move forward!!" "Xiao, take us into Wales!!!" "Loong, destroy them with your artillery fire!!!" "Xiao!" "Xiao!"
Xiao!"~~~
When the Arsenal players entered the stadium, Highbury immediately made a huge noise. When Xiao Ge's image appeared on the big screen, the whole Highbury was boiling, shouting Xiao Ge's name.
This season, they are already familiar with the situation of Xiao Ge saving the team. Henry is not on the court, so Xiao Ge is naturally the scepter in their other hand. The team relies on him for victory and glory.
Xiao Ge understands this very well, but for some reason in this game, he suddenly lost his excitement for the game, passing the ball for the sake of passing the ball, or breaking through just for the sake of breaking through.
There is no passion like before, a little less ambition for the overall situation, and a desire for an unobstructed view of the stadium. Although I want to win in my heart, I suddenly lose the pursuit of victory in my personal performance. I have a mentality that as long as the team wins, it is enough.
.
Xiao Ge couldn't help but shook his head, temporarily forgetting these complicated things, and glanced at the extremely excited Van Persie, looking at him looking like he was charging into battle, he couldn't help but laugh, and then remembered Henry's words,
I couldn't help but keep up with Van Persie's pace, sprinting and accelerating a few times.
"Xiao, are you okay? Wasn't the boss too strict just now?" This was the first time Wenger yelled at Xiao Ge in the locker room, and he was a little worried about this little seedling.
"I guess you're used to it, it's okay, hahaha." Xiao Ge said with a smile, still looking careless towards Van Persie.
"Haha, kid, the game is over, you are the one to watch." Van Persie patted Xiao Ge's shoulder. Although he was hurt, he was relieved in his heart.
Wenger has been paying attention to Xiao Ge's changes in the first half. In the past, Xiao Ge had an all-encompassing personality on the court and could very well link his personal performance with the team's victory.
In this game, Wenger suddenly discovered that Xiao Ge's desire for performance was no longer so strong, and he began to send the ball to other players' feet many times, focusing on transitional passes.
After understanding this, Wenger was shocked and immediately beat him directly in the locker room.
There is nothing wrong with letting individual players serve the team as a whole, but different players have different ways of serving.
In Wenger's setting, Xiao Ge is the core of the future Arsenal core, so he cannot disappear from the field no matter what. Only when the commander is clear can he fight. Xiao Ge can be a lion dominating the field.
, but it must not be one of a pack of wolves, let alone a lone wolf.
"Beep" Stiles whistled, "Hoo ho ho ho ho" "Forward! Arsenal!!!" "Capture Highbury! Everton!!!"~~~
As the whistle blew, the entire stadium roared like a volcano erupting.
Everton still sent the ball to the backcourt and patiently passed the ball to attract Arsenal's defense.
Seeing Robin van Persie rushing up, Arteta sent the ball to the feet of central defender Hilbert, and Adebayor also took a few steps to press for it. Xiao Ge and Pires also arrived near the center circle, ready to attack.
Arsenal's formation suddenly opened up.
Everton did not take advantage of the positional battle. Song's pressing allowed Xiao Ge to snatch the ball from Osman from behind. Following the trend, he started directly from the backcourt and quickly rushed towards Everton's half.
"gogogogogogo~~~~"
As Xiao Ge started, the Arsenal fans, who were already eager to wait, screamed crazily as Xiao Ge dribbled the ball, and the entire stadium entered the first wave of climax.
Cahill stayed behind Osman. When he saw Xiao Ge coming to take the lead, he blocked him without any panic at all, because many of Everton's players were in the midfield and backcourt and were not afraid of Xiao Ge's charge.
Xiao Ge walked nearly ten meters away and saw Cahill coming from the side. Without much entanglement, he just passed him by and rushed past him at full speed.
Bergkamp kept knocking the ball, and the ball was advanced appropriately, allowing Xiao Ge to show his speed to his heart's content.
The two-on-one cooperation allowed Xiao Ge to shake off Cahill's entanglement. His body advanced at high speed without stopping. He directly took the ball with his right foot, followed the trend, and directly used his speed to get rid of Arteta's interception ball and went directly to the ball.
Passed the opponent and penetrated directly into the heart of Everton from the middle.
Van der Meyde was very fast and quickly rushed to Xiao Ge's side, constantly squeezing and pressing against him.
And Neville has also rushed over. Everton's entire defense line suddenly gathered together. The two full-backs were always paying attention to Van Persie and others, while Hilbert and others also quickly returned to their positions. Everton
The entire defense line surrounded Xiao Ge like a fortress, whether it was passing or breaking through, he could get to his position in time.
Xiao Ge swung his arms to resist Van der Meyde's pull. The distance was too small and the time was too short. Before Xiao Ge could shake him off, Neville had already arrived. Xiao Ge was soon trapped between the two.
Clamped.
Xiao Ge paused consciously, changed directions with his feet to pull the ball, and quickly adjusted his rhythm, preparing for his teammates to come up and respond.
However, regardless of whether it was Bergkamp or Eboue on the wing, Xiao Ge found that there was no good passing space. The high-speed change of rhythm did not cause Everton to make positional errors. Once the front could not pass, the ball was passed from both sides.
It is very possible that the opponent will catch up, rather than rushing in faster with the ball.
Xiao Ge kept shaking and pulling the ball, and the speed changed again. His whole body moved like a tiger. He dunked directly, changed the direction of his feet, pulled the outside of his left foot, then jerked his body, shook the space, and twisted.
With another movement of his feet, he broke through Neville from the left at full speed.
Neville was shocked, turned around, and stepped directly on the ball beside him with his right foot, trying to keep it.
However, due to Xiao Ge's clever move, the ball jumped away. Xiao Ge dodged Neville's last kick, got up again, and was ready to charge forward again.
With a "swipe", the grass splashed up, and a huge foot slid out fiercely, directed at Xiao Ge, and the big foot was directly imprinted on the upper of Xiao Ge's right foot.
Xiao Ge was hit hard, and his whole center of gravity was knocked off by the opponent's body. He fell directly on the turf, clutching his right foot in pain, and it was burning.
"Beep, beep, beep!" Stiles quickly stopped the game and hurriedly signaled Arsenal's team doctor to come on.
Players from both sides stopped running.
"**!" "Xiao!"~~~
The moment Xiao Ge fell to the ground, Robin van Persie, Adebayor, and Bergkamp rushed over immediately, followed by Toure and Silva.
Everton's players were also not to be outdone. Neville protected Cahill like a tiger, glaring at the rushing Van Persie, Beatty, Van der Meyde, and Arteta also rushed over.
The situation on the field suddenly became tense. Arsenal was already one goal behind, and was scolded by Wenger. His anger was simmering, and now he could no longer contain it. Everton has never been a team that is afraid of trouble. Both sides
It was probably another group fight.
"Fuy, it's that move again!" "Go to ***!" "Beat them to death!" "**, this is Highbury, we won't let Xiao get hurt!"~~~
As Xiao Ge fell to the ground, the Highbury stands were silent for a second, and then chaos quickly broke out like a volcano erupting. Countless people started shouting and cursing, and the situation on the scene was about to become chaotic.
