"There is still a chance, there is still a chance, Ronnie, Ronnie crosses the ball, Iniesta!!! No!"
After Deco came on the field, Barcelona's offense increased in intensity again and became somewhat unstoppable. Xavi and Messi had a simple one-two, and Xavi's deft flash avoided Cesc Fabregas' tackle.
, and then transition to the unguarded Deco.
Deco didn't feel the ball was unfamiliar at all, and followed up with a powerful shot from outside the penalty area, heading straight for Lehmann's goal.
Fortunately, Lehmann reacted quickly enough and fought hard to block, but obviously Deco's strength also prevented Lehmann from picking off the ball. He could only shoot the ball out, but Ronaldinho on the right side of the penalty area got it first.
, with one step, he directly touched the depths of Arsenal's penalty area, immediately attracting the attention of Arsenal's entire defense.
Ronaldinho was not limited to his own dribbling. The moment he attracted the attention of Arsenal's defense, Ronaldinho completed the ball. The top line in Arsenal's penalty area was blank.
It gave Iniesta enough space to hit the goal.
Iniesta adjusted the shooting angle, straightly rounded his thigh, and fired a volley that hit the hearts of all Arsenal players, causing great pain.
In the penalty area, allowing the opponent to complete a shot at such a close distance, and with enough space to swing the angle, Silva almost surrendered, feeling a trace of fear and despair, and just stretched his thighs in response, but...
It was this reactive move that saved the ball, the game, and Arsenal.
Iniesta's angle was too good, and just like that, he went straight to the lower left corner of the goal. Lehmann couldn't save it at all. Therefore, the ball was hit by Silva's thigh and deviated by a few points.
From this angle, the ball hit the far post directly, allowing Arsenal to escape the disaster. This time, the sharp Messi did not appear. Flamini took the ball directly with a big kick.
Sideline.
"Phew. It was so thrilling. Arsenal was lucky to escape."
"The effect of Deco's introduction is very obvious. Barcelona's offensive line is suppressed as a whole. Arsenal's crisis is not over yet."
"This is a substitution that determines the course of the game, and Barcelona's attack proved it."
"The last few minutes will be a difficult time for Arsenal. Even if it enters overtime, it will be difficult for Arsenal to get any advantage. This is Arsenal's flaw."
"If we manage these few minutes well, Barcelona is likely to end the game within 90 minutes. What other countermeasures does Arsenal have?"
"So far, Wenger has only made one substitution on the field. He still has two cards. He needs some changes. The moment for Wenger's magic touch has arrived."
"Maybe it's time to make substitutions. It's also good to replenish physical fitness on the field. These eleven people have played almost for a full season. Wenger should not be stubborn during this period."
...
The situation on the field was just as the major commentators predicted. After Deco came on the field, Arsenal fell into a complete passive situation. At this time, the game had reached the 85th minute. According to the situation in the second half, the stoppage time was only about five or six minutes.
, obviously, Barcelona still has more to see, and Arsenal, I am afraid persistence is the only thing they can see.
Wenger is already having a hard time. It's not that he refuses to make substitutions, but that Arsenal has no one to replace. He dares to use new people. But at this juncture, Wenger cannot afford to gamble, so he can only choose to believe in these things.
A more experienced player, he even resented why Ashley Cole had to "betray" at such a critical time, otherwise he would have at least one midfielder and backcourt player to fill in the gap.
But it is useless to think about it now. Wenger can only pray for his players to persist, persist, and persist. As time goes to the end, the situation will be further out of his control. If Arsenal could still pass through Hleb and others before,
If the high-speed counterattack forces Barcelona to stay back, now that Deco has come on the field, Barcelona's offensive line has moved forward again, which has caused the Arsenal players to have to stay back to be on the safe side. That counterattack tactic is also very difficult to use.
Maintained.
Wenger once again turned his attention to the player who had brought him countless miracles. He had never let him down. It was the same this time. It was just that the time came a little late. Wenger thought silently in his heart.
But no matter what Wenger's hopes were, the game still had to continue. Barcelona continued to maintain its advantage on the field. Attack after attack made Rijkaard full of expectations, watching the situation on the field evolve as he imagined.
, Rijkaard is full of pride. He wants everyone to know that the Barcelona he leads is the strongest team in this era.
No matter whether the opponent is the star-studded Real Madrid, AC Milan with its glorious tradition, or Chelsea, which is piled with gold and dollars, they can't stop themselves from reaching the top. The same is true for Arsenal, which is now known as the miracle team, even if they
They have No.1 in the world, but the strongest in the world is still themselves and Barcelona. It will always be reasonable. This Arsenal team has too many loopholes. Maybe two or three years later will be the time for them to enter the strongest era, and
Not now.
On the field, Arsenal's players were busy filling positions again and again. After the opponent gave up attacking and prepared to defend, Barcelona's offense inevitably became more fierce. Wave after wave of attacks rushed towards Arsenal's defense.
"Ronnie, Ronnie knock on the door!"
"Leo, Leo dunked!"
"Iniesta, Iniesta follow!"
"Deco, Deco come in!"
...
Arsenal's defense is really in a precarious situation and has become shaky. It has been noticed that the Arsenal players are unable to attack. Barcelona's players are even more unforgiving, and the strong shock wave has forced Arsenal to attack.
The whole team was huddled in the half court, and Barcelona's frontcourt players did not have to defend at all. The ball always rolled in Arsenal's half.
The Arsenal players also wanted to attack, especially Xiao Ge. He tried to rush into Barcelona's frontcourt several times when he got the ball, but it was useless. The entire Arsenal defense was pushed too far back, as were Henry and Van Persie.
He had to come back and make up for the position in time. There was no one in front of him to respond, let alone other players. Even if Xiao Ge got the ball, he immediately fell into the opponent's multi-player press. He couldn't rush out at all, and there was no one to pass to the front.
, as a last resort, we have to pass it back again.
And many times Arsenal's clearance is to kick the ball directly out of the half court, or directly kick the ball out of the sideline, because they dare not keep the ball in their own half for too long. Barcelona is really like a maggot at this time.
Usually, wherever they see the ball fall, they will appear there. Their dexterity and hard work cannot be compared to the Arsenal players whose physical fitness has reached the limit.
And even after winning the ball, Arsenal's midfielder needs the midfielder led by Xiao Ge and Cesc Fabregas to organize the ball. In this way, it falls into a cycle of half-time return passes. Now Henry and Van Persie both
He is not the type to organize the midfield, and the Arsenal players gave up the ball without knowing it. The situation on the field is still deteriorating for Arsenal fans.
"Huh, I really didn't expect, I really didn't expect that Barcelona could push Arsenal to this level. This season, no team has been able to put Arsenal into such a situation."
"It's really fate. Barcelona's style has a restraining effect on Arsenal's tactics, and the will of the English team has not been effective because of too much fatigue. This result is inevitable. Now it depends on whether Barcelona can seize it.
Opportunity."
"Arsenal is really in danger, not only because their backcourt can't keep up, but even in the frontcourt, Robin, Thierry and others look quite tired. They need to replace too many people."
"It seems that it will be difficult for Arsenal to last until the penalty shootout."
"That's it for now. Arsenal's miracle this season seems to have ended here."
...
"Arsenal, come on!!!"
"Hold on, Arsenal, hold on, Arsenal!!!"
"We are the strongest, we are the best!!!"
"Thierry, Thierry, please lead us to the top of Europe, the top of Europe!!!"
"Xiao, we need you, we need you, we need you to let us win the championship, the championship!!!"
...
The game was in dire straits, and Arsenal was completely looked down upon. However, only the passionate Arsenal fans were shouting loudly, standing behind their team, and supporting their team with their loudest shouts.
, the English people's die-hard devotion to football makes them more enthusiastic in desperate situations.
Because they are with the team, honor and disgrace, and they do not believe that their team, which has created countless miracles this season, will be defeated like this. They believe in their captain, and even more in the omnipotent Xiao. They believe
Arsenal will definitely be able to create their own greatest era!
In the stands, the huge cheers of Arsenal fans could not change Barcelona's unrelenting siege on Arsenal. Similarly, the Arsenal players still insisted on their own camp.
'Can't let them score, can't let them score!'
This is the belief of all Arsenal players. Not only the eleven people on the field, but even the players on Arsenal's bench clenched their fists and gritted their teeth as they watched the situation on the field.
With all the changes, their moods fluctuated. At this moment, they truly felt the feeling of being with their teammates. The feeling that they wished they could replace them filled the hearts of all Arsenal players. The same hatred and hatred were shared in the hearts of all Arsenal players.
surge.
No one wants to miss this game, no one wants to miss this championship. Arsenal's players are still persisting. Robin van Persie has almost become a central defender, and Henry is like a running wolf, interfering with all Barcelona's ball points.
Allow as much game time as possible.
Finally, the fourth official raised the sign in his hand high - 8, and the bright red Arabic numerals reminded everyone that there were eight minutes of stoppage time in the second half, eight minutes of life and death. (To be continued. If you like this
