"Beep~~" As Plauz's whistle blew, the first half of Arsenal's home match against Villarreal in the Champions League ended. With the goals of Bergkamp and Xiao Ge, Arsenal won the second quarter.
Zero leads the opponent and enters the midfield.
"It's so exciting. I beat them until they lose their temper."
"That's it. Dennis did a great job."
"Who said Dennis is old?"
"Xiao's goal was amazing and another personal performance."
"Who can stop Xiao! Hahaha!!!"~~~
Arsenal fans can finally go to the toilet and take a pee. There is no doubt that their team is already winning.
"You did a good job today, Xiao." "Haha, luckily the captain and the others were good at negotiating positions."
"Man, that ball is so powerful." "Okay, I'm not a young man, just leave it to them." ~~~~~
Compared to Arsenal who walked into the locker room talking and laughing, the Villarreal team seemed silent and lonely. Although it was only the first half, Arsenal's fast-playing and pressing rhythm made them very uncomfortable.
, like being tied by a tighter and tighter rope, trying to struggle, but not knowing what to do.
Pellegrini also followed the players into the away locker room with a sullen face, thinking about his response in the second half.
"Phew, in the first half, Arsenal's tactics were very obvious. With three forwards and fast passing, the effect was good. If Robin's ball was not interfered by the little cutie, Arsenal's advantage would be even greater."
Adams symbolically concluded with a few words.
"Yes, but Villarreal also played well. They stabilized for a time and played several high-quality offenses against Arsenal. Unfortunately, Xiao's goal interrupted their counterattack, and their morale was lost to Arsenal.
Na was suppressed."
In the middle of the first half, Villarreal's series of skillful passes also left a deep impression on Matthew, but it still led to the second half of the sentence.
"Well, Xiao, he is now an irreplaceable member of Arsenal, but Arsenal may be very busy this summer.
Adams said with emotion, news about Xiao Ge will appear in the outside world almost every few hours, and summer is approaching, and there are endless news about Xiao Ge's possible transfer, especially after it was revealed that Xiao Ge was avoiding England and going to Norway.
After the incident, every club was sharpening its knives and staring at Xiao Ge.
"Well, let's talk about this game. The Chilean engineers will definitely make adjustments in the second half, but the current situation is very unfavorable to Villarreal. If they strengthen their offense, they will definitely increase the offensive rhythm.
And if we adopt a defensive posture, this game is 2-0, and it will be a bit difficult to return to our home court. Once Arsenal scores a goal at home, no other team except Chelsea will win against Arsenal this season.
Having scored four goals, I wonder if Pellegrini can resist the temptation of away goals."
As for Xiao Ge's various off-field news, this die-hard Xiao Ge obviously didn't want to mention anything more, so Matthew quickly turned the topic back to the game.
"You have no retreat in this game. You did a terrible job in the first half, unable to hold the ball or control the ball. In the second half, you have to change this situation.
In the midfield and frontcourt, you have to get the ball in the midfield and play our own rhythm, so that you can choose to attack. You must mobilize the opponent at the beginning of the second half. Juan (Riquelme) in the second half, you have to control it.
The rhythm of the whole game, try to drag the game into your mode.
The opponent's physical strength is now being consumed a lot, so you must take advantage of this and score a goal. You can definitely do this..."
In the Arsenal dressing room, the Arsenal players joked for a while and then took the time to rest. By the end of the season, Arsenal's physical disadvantages caused by the intensive schedule became more and more obvious.
In the first half of the game, Arsenal fought very hard, especially the players in the midfield and frontcourt. If Wenger hadn't insisted on rotation before, Henry and others might not have been able to persist.
Wenger, on the other hand, studied the tactical board, glanced at the group of people under him, thinking about something, and quickly called his disciples over to explain some tactical changes in the second half.
"Gogogogogogo!" "Arsenal, Arsenal fans, welcome to Highbury Stadium. The second half of the game is about to begin. This means that our temple is less than an hour away from ending the history of the European War. Now,
Tell the world how much you love this stadium!!!'
Senke's words pierced the sky above Highbury and quickly aroused resonance.
"Bah, bang, bang, bang, bang!" The thunderous applause was like a flood releasing a floodgate, roaring.
"Dennis!" "Dennis!" "Dennis!" ~~~~~, and when Bergkamp stepped into the stadium, the resonance reached its climax, and the orange ocean surged for him again, fighting for his ice prince.
Emotional.
Bergkamp waved to the fans, and once again received an enthusiastic response from the fans in the audience. "Stay!" "Stay!" "Stay!"~~~
When Xiao Ge saw this scene, his heart was complicated. He couldn't say jealousy, but envy and admiration, and he was also touched, but it made Xiao Ge more determined.
Xiao Ge understood that no matter how well he played today, the protagonist of this game would be the fans recognizing the Ice Prince. This is glory and conquest. Bergkamp’s status has long been deeply rooted in their hearts. This is their respect for the Ice Prince.
The loyalty to their hero is also a reward for the good memories Bergkamp brought them in the past.
"Oh, the game has started, let's see immediately what changes have occurred in the game between the two sides."
"Well, Villarreal didn't make any adjustments to the pair, but Arthur made the adjustment first. Xiao moved to the left, while Robin moved to the right.
It seems that Arthur really trusts Robin. Although Robin played well in this position in the national team, his style of play is that the forward takes the ball and cuts into the penalty area to hit the goal. It is different from the cross by the winger Hleb.
Cloth is more suitable."
Matthew looked at it and gave his own judgment.
"Well, Dennis can't be replaced. Is Arthur just a normal position?" Adams was also thinking.
However, with Plouz's whistle, they quickly focused their attention on the game itself.
The second half of the game started with Villarreal. After fifteen minutes of adjustments, Villarreal's players finally calmed down and their possession of the ball was restored, no longer like the first half.
Like in the second half, Arsenal was completely suppressed.
Arsenal also maintained a moderate pressure and took the lead. They did not need to rush for it, and their physical fitness was also a factor. The game was played at a tepid pace by both sides.
After a scramble for the first five minutes of the second half, Villarreal's offense launched a threatening attack in the sixth minute.
Arsenal's pass from the left was intercepted. After Senna intercepted the ball, he quickly handed it to Riquelme and immediately moved to the wing.
After Riquelme got the ball, Fabregas immediately got involved. Riquelme carefully moved the ball forward, not daring to rush hastily. After several duels in the first half, he discovered that this
The eighteen-year-old young man has a very strong confrontation ability, and his willpower is definitely not comparable to those fancy players in La Liga.
Fabregas did not dare to be careless. Before the game, Wenger said that the South American players were very capable one-on-one, not to mention they were the opponent's core players. However, he has not been a vegetarian in confrontations in the Premier League these years.
Suddenly, Riquelme moved outward and quickly rushed to Fabregas' right side.
Fabregas stepped forward immediately to avoid being thrown away by the opponent.
Riquelme seemed to have expected it. He paused and twisted again. Feeling that the opponent was still strong, he suddenly pulled back, then pushed again. His body suddenly turned around, drawing a semicircle, and a gap appeared.
Fabregas was still swayed by this talented attacking midfielder with rich experience and extremely perfect rhythm control. He forced the opponent to squeeze past him by half. He saw that the opponent was about to pass him. However, Fabregas
Si would not give up so easily. He lowered his body and shoved his thigh directly towards the ball like an iron rod.
With a "pop" sound, Riquelme seemed to have eyes under his feet. With a gentle rub, the ball jumped straight out of the reach of Fabregas' long legs, and he also crossed over.
Fabregas had no time to express his admiration for the opponent's talent, because the opponent suddenly surged forward and penetrated Arsenal's heart.
"Oh, my God!?" "Fran!"~~~
Direct penetration, direct penetration, this time it was Forlan. He penetrated from behind Senderos into the Arsenal penalty area, and the ball also passed through the gap between Silva, Senderos and Toure.
, rolling towards Fran’s path.
After Riquelme passed Cesc Fabregas, he was targeted by Silva, but he also discovered Forlan's movement and casually sent a pass through three people, and he also
Hurry and rush to the penalty area, because...
"Jens, Jens attacks!"
Lehmann didn't have time to roar to his teammates. Senderos didn't see Forlan's sudden advance, but he saw it and knew how slowly his tall central defender turned, so he struck decisively.
"Shua!!!" "Bang!"~~~
"Di~~", "Shhhhhhhhhh"~~~
"Penalty kick, referee, this penalty kick!"~~~
"He bumped into us, he committed a foul!"~~~
"Hey?!" "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh"~~~
Arsenal's penalty area was already in chaos. Everyone was staring at Plouz who called for stopping the game. Watching him pointing into the penalty area, the Arsenal fans let out loud boos. Before the decision was made, they directly
Demonstration, they will absolutely not accept any controversial penalties in this game.
Wenger and Pellegrini both stood up nervously, and the players on both benches stood on the sidelines. This penalty was so crucial that it could change the course of the entire series, and may even change this Champions League.
The winner of the championship.
Lehmann held the ball and kept hitting it, while Fran lay on the ground, looked at Plouz questioningly, and made an angry voice, but it attracted even more boos. They thought Fran was diving.
.
Without much explanation, Proudz penalized Forlan for colliding with the goalkeeper in the penalty area, and then raised his hands to signal Forlan to get up quickly.
It was difficult for Plauz to judge the ball. It was too fast. He had been staring at Riquelme before. In the blink of an eye, he saw the ball enter the penalty area, and his angle was partially blocked by three Arsenal players.
Blocked, based on the distance, he could only judge that both had equal chances.
He also glanced at the linesman before, and in the headset, the linesman also gave the same judgment. In this case, Lehmann did not deliberately go towards the opponent's body, and the penalty kick would not be awarded at all.
It was not appropriate to give a yellow card. Fran did not attack anyone. He just couldn't jump out of the way and directly hit Lehmann. He fell to the ground again and was suspected of cheating for a penalty kick. But under the circumstances of equal opportunities, there is nothing wrong with it. Of course.
, it should be done if it is too obvious. In this kind of Champions League competition, unless it is intentional favoritism, this kind of controversial penalty must not be unfair.
"This ball clearly belongs to us, why did he take such a penalty!" Pellegrini jumped up immediately when he saw Plouz's penalty and protested to the fourth official.
Wenger, on the other hand, breathed a long sigh of relief, glanced at Pellegrini, and sat back on the coaching bench.
No matter how unconvinced Villarreal was, the game still had to continue. Villarreal continued to control the ball and advanced towards Arsenal's half. Once they encountered obstacles, they did not blindly pass the ball or rush forward.
It's more about horizontal knocks and return passes.
Riquelme, in particular, did not panic after the ball. He quickly adjusted his teammates' emotions on the court and stabilized his attack.
Villarreal broke out and handled the pass quite well. The game soon fell into Villarreal's pattern, with passes and breakthroughs frequently threatening Arsenal's defense.
Arsenal had to focus more on defense during this period. Xiao Ge and Robin van Persie began to shrink near the center circle, and there was no opportunity to attack.
"Damn it, stop it, stop it!" "Steal the ball, steal the ball!" "Huh, God, luckily Kolo is there."~~~
"Goal, goal!" "Flan, Fran--Lan, oh!**!" "Coming, coming, Riquelme hit hard! Phew, it was a little missed."~~~
Alarms continued to sound in the sky above Highbury, and Villarreal's offense was activated, constantly impacting Arsenal's defense. Arsenal, on the other hand, took high passes and low blocks, not giving the opponent any chance. The two frequently gave
The pressure is exerted on the hearts of fans from both sides.
"Oh, it's Riquelme's goal from outside the penalty area again. These fourteen minutes have turned into an offensive performance by the visiting team. This is not a good sign." Matthew looked at Wenger on the screen worriedly.
"Arthur seems to be very quiet, but I can only say that Arsenal's defense has been very good during this period." Adams also said semi-jokingly, and they had a lot of opinions on Arsenal's weak offense.
But the game is like this, it changes rapidly, and unpredictable things often happen. Just when the fans were anxious and the commentators were complaining, Arsenal suddenly started to hang themselves.
After Riquelme's long-range shot missed, Lehmann immediately kicked the ball and went straight to the center.
Everyone is a little puzzled. Arsenal has always played on the ground. After Vieira left for the Alpstadion, Arsenal's midfielder has never had any advantage in headers.
But a handsome face soon appeared on the camera - Xiao Ge.
Xiao Ge stood in the middle of the center circle, which should be Henry's position, but he appeared at this time, and behind him, on the left side of Arsenal, was Henry still cruising, which was a position he was familiar with. Alva
Reis also followed Henry.
Therefore, Xiao Ge easily pressed Tachinadi and moved towards Arsenal's right wing, where Van Persie's position was.
Van Persie appeared with a clear understanding, took the lead and started again, but Sorin did not follow at all. As for Arua Barrena, he was still running on the right side. There was only Arsu in front of Van Persie, and the opponent was still near the penalty area.
As for Arsenal, after Xiao Ge landed, no one bothered to compete with him. He inserted himself behind Van Persie to the right, with Bergkamp and Cesc Fabregas following closely behind.
It was like the ocean in front of Van Persie, letting him run wild. Soon he pushed to the edge of the penalty area, and a small rock appeared.
"Robin!!!" "Thierry!!!"~~~
Van Persie did not greedy for credit, he moved directly to the middle, pulled himself to the left, opened up the space, and successfully brought Senna's attention to him, and he was also ready to take points at any time.
Henry took the ball from the left and entered the penalty area. All the Villarreal players were shocked and pounced on Henry Alvarez in panic. Arzu quickly prepared to double-team.
However, Henry was also just a ball player. He stuffed the outside of his right foot and passed through the body of Alua Barrena who rushed to surround him. A figure quickly passed through Alua Barrena and threw him behind.
Behind him.
Xiao Ge, Xiao Ge seemed to have appeared as the last killer. He took advantage of the trend, flicked his left foot away, and swung out in an arc. The ball quickly spiraled inside to the far corner.
Barbosa was staring at Henry to prevent the opponent's cold shot, and then moved his center of gravity to cover his near corner, but in the end Xiao Ge's inexplicable appearance completely failed his plan, and the opponent hit the far corner.
With a crisp "swish" sound, a perfect inswinging ball directly hit the top edge of the goal. Barbosa didn't even have time to move.
"gooooooooooo.........l, Xiao, Xiao scored again! Fifteen goals, fifteen goals! This is his fifteenth goal this season, the Champions League
Top scorer! Top scorer! Shevchenko only scored five goals, and he has already broken the Champions League single-season scoring record, with fifteen goals, one more than the original record!!! Hukaka!!! Xiao! Genius
Thousands of roars gathered together, and the sound waves throughout Highbury surged like a torrent and tsunami.
"Dear, dear, I love you, I love you!!!" "Yeah, yeah."~~~
"Come on!!!" "gogogo"~~~
Arsenal fans went crazy. The three-goal advantage made them unable to suppress their emotions. They hugged each other crazily, kissed, raised their arms, and shouted. The whole Highbury became a sea of joy, with posters and slogans everywhere.
It's a waving arm.
But Xiao Ge just hugged Henry and Van Persie and came to the stands.
