"Figo passed the ball into the penalty area... Toni rushed the ball! What a danger! Lehmann made a wonderful save and blocked the ball with one hand! The German goalkeeper has performed very well this season. No wonder the head coach of the German national team Ke
Linsmann is considering using him as the main goalkeeper in the World Cup instead of Kahn! Corner kick! This is Inter Milan's fourth corner kick in the first half, and it is now the 25th minute of the game..."
Following the commentator's words, Wenger also frowned. During this period, Inter Milan's offense became more and more fierce. They always intercepted Arsenal's offense on the wing, and then quickly launched a counterattack. The two forwards
and Figo are their main offensive forces, and now this set piece...
A large number of Inter Milan players poured into the penalty area. Although Cordoba was not on the court, Yaya Toure had a greater height advantage in the penalty area. Compared with his brother Big Toure, although Yaya Toure is young,
But it is more powerful.
With him and Materazzi, as well as two high center forwards, Arsenal's air defense ability is equally strong, but it also has some disadvantages.
Figo took a corner kick, Adriano nodded and hit the goal, and the ball hit the side netting, shocking Lehmann into a cold sweat.
Wenger couldn't sit still. He shouted twice on the sidelines, asking the players not to concentrate on attacking on the left. Although Maggio seemed to be a weakness, Inter Milan protected this side very well. If they continued
Attacking in this area will make Inter Milan's defense more targeted - such a bold arrangement also surprised Wenger. Dick, a young man, does have a lot of tricks.
After Wenger's roar, Arsenal's offense began to blossom more. Although Henry is more accustomed to attacking from the left, there are Ljungberg and Rosicky, and their offensive abilities from the right and center are not bad.
Fabregas dribbled the ball forward and passed the ball to Rosicky before Yaya Toure came up to intercept. Mascherano immediately came up to him - this was Dick's intention of sending Yaya Toure in this game.
, sacrificing some organizational ability in exchange for the thickness and interception ability of the midfielder, making Arsenal's dual-core midfielder unable to organize better.
Although Arsenal used more defensive counterattacks in the Champions League, their defensive counterattacks are still very different from general defensive counterattacks. The ball control and scheduling abilities of several midfielders also play a big role.
, this can be regarded as a brand new tactic carefully prepared by Wenger. Dick’s arrangement is aimed at this situation!
At the beginning of the game, the effect seemed to be average. However, as the game progressed, Dick's arrangement began to gradually disrupt Arsenal's offensive rhythm!
"The pace is starting to pick up."
Many people have discovered this. If the previous games were relatively dull, with an attack completed in two or three minutes, then now, the rhythm has obviously become much faster, and an attack can be completed in almost one minute.
!
Such an accelerated pace at least means that Arsenal can no longer control the slow pace!
Being able to do this is related to Inter Milan's practice of launching a fast break quickly after intercepting in the midfield. Once or twice cannot drive the rhythm, but three times, four times, five times or six times? Inter Milan's attack is fast, Assen
Arsenal's return to defense must be quick, and when they reverse in the backcourt, Inter Milan will press mercilessly in the frontcourt. The more it passes to the frontcourt, the greater the pressure on Arsenal's players with the ball.
, and also forced them to speed up the pass to avoid being intercepted!
Wenger's brows frowned more and more. Dick's tactics were very simple. Whatever you want to do, I will make it impossible for you to do it. Against other teams with coaches who have excellent on-the-spot command skills, this approach may not be too effective.
A big advantage, but when facing Arsenal, he gave the right medicine. Wenger gave the players the highest degree of freedom among the top coaches in Europe, and his on-the-spot command can be regarded as a shortcoming, not a shortcoming.
While Wenger was still thinking, Inter Milan's quick attack finally had an effect!
In the 36th minute, midfielder Yaya Toure dribbled the ball forward and relied on his physical fitness to break through Rosicky's defense. When Fabregas and Gilberto Silva came towards him, he
He raised his foot and passed the ball to Figo. Figo pretended to dribble the ball and broke through from the right, but he raised his foot and sent a beautiful transfer. The ball fell directly to Stankovic's feet. Stankovic passed the ball diagonally to the front of the penalty area.
Tony responded and then moved forward himself. Tony passed the ball across despite Toure's interference. Stankovic, who moved forward, grabbed the ball in front of Eboue, then raised his left foot and did not shoot.
It's a restricted area for passing!
Adriano rushed over from outside the penalty area. When Senderos interfered with him, he used his strong body to block Senderos from the outside, stopped the ball with his chest, and then swung his left foot.
Powerful shot in the penalty area!
Faced with such a close-range volley, even though Lehmann made a save, he could not stop the ball from flying into the goal - the ball hit his hand and flew upwards, and then flew into the Arsenal gate!
"Oh oh oh oh! The ball is in! Adriano! The Brazilian's ninth goal in the Champions League this season! This allows him to tie the previous number one Shevchenko and tie for the Champions League.
The top scorer list! Arsenal's record of not conceding a goal in the knockout rounds ended in the fifth game! Facing Inter Milan, which has extremely strong offensive capabilities, even Arsenal failed to keep a goal at home! This pair of Arsenal
To me, it’s a huge blow! The record of not conceding a goal ended just for a small period, but in the first two rounds of the game, they conceded a goal at home, which is not a good situation!”
"This season, Inter Milan has basically won all the games where they scored the first goal. There are only a few draws, and they have all remained unbeaten! If this record continues, it will be very bad for Arsenal, because even if Inter Milan is
Returning to the Meazza Stadium with a draw is also very beneficial to them, because they have already scored valuable away goals in the game! In a game like the Champions League semi-finals, an away goal can play a huge role
But it’s very big. Inter Milan should be deeply aware of this. When they reached the Champions League semi-finals three years ago, they were eliminated by AC Milan and missed the final because of an away goal!”
The commentator's words were a stab in the hearts of the Inter Milan fans, but they couldn't care less about their sadness at this time. This goal gave them the lead in the away game and scored an away goal. There is no doubt that
, they have already taken the lead in the Champions League semi-finals!
Wenger has not made any adjustments. He firmly believes that the current tactics and players on the field are already the best. Although Inter Milan accelerated the pace and scored a goal, if he continues to play his own way, Wenger firmly believes that his goal is the best.
The team will definitely be able to score goals - of course, whether they can win or not is still unknown.
His calm behavior on the sidelines calmed down the Arsenal players - Wenger has indeed done a lot of hard work this season to make Arsenal behave as calmly as Juventus - even in history
In the final, even though the goalkeeper was sent off in the first ten minutes and one player was missing, Arsenal remained calm and struggled with Barcelona and took the lead with a set kick. If Larsson, who came on the bench, had not made two assists,
As for the reversal, Arsenal's performance in the final was a classic.
So Wenger didn't move at this time because he trusted his players, and his players deserved his trust.
At least this season, Arsenal is strong, so strong that even in such an unfavorable situation, they can quickly launch a counterattack without being affected by the conceded goal.
After the kick-off resumed, Dick frowned slightly as he looked at the Arsenal players who silently launched the attack.
He knew that Arsenal's performance in the Champions League this season was extremely stable, but he did not expect that it could be so stable. You must know that Arsenal has no Champions League titles in history, and although Wenger has won many
Champion, but his number of championships in the history of European wars is also zero - he led Monaco and Arsenal to the finals of the Cup Winners' Cup and the UEFA Cup, but lost in both finals. Now in such an important semi-final
In the game, conceding a goal at home first will not affect them at all. It is definitely not a fluke that they can enter the Champions League final this season in history.
But Dick didn't make any moves. At this time, like Wenger, he was very calm. After all, the advantage was on his side. Even if Arsenal equalized the score, the situation was still in his favor. The away game was one to one, and the away game was one to one.
One to zero, there is actually not much difference.
Henry dribbled the ball and started to cut in from the left. Although Maggio kept up with his pace, he was still thrown away by him. After the breakthrough, Henry passed the ball into the penalty area. Cannavaro flew to grab the ball in front of Ljungberg.
After clearing the baseline, Cesc Fabregas took a corner kick. Senderos and Gilbert made two consecutive shots in the penalty area, but they were blocked by the Inter Milan players who returned to defense with their bodies!
After resisting Arsenal's counterattack, Inter Milan also proved its strength with offense. Figo made a long pass near the center circle. Toure made a mistake in making a clearance. Adriano took the ball from the left side of the penalty area and passed it. The ball went over
Lehmann attacked, but Tony, who followed up, was a step too late. The ball slipped past his feet and then slipped out of the baseline!
Just when the Arsenal fans were frightened by this attack, the Arsenal players silently launched another attack. Henry forced a breakthrough along the wing and then planned to cut inside. Maggio, who returned to defense, fought hard
Scoop the ball out of the baseline, corner kick.
Henry took a corner kick himself and was pushed out by Materazzi. However, due to the interference of Senderos, he failed to push the ball forward, but pushed it to the side. Henry controlled the ball again and slowly
Breaking into the penalty area, he was looking at the center while dribbling the ball, but suddenly he moved his foot and passed the ball to Rosicky who came up from the wing!
Rosicky dribbled the ball diagonally, and before Maggio came to defend, he raised his foot and passed the ball to the center. Toure, who followed up, fell to the ground in front of his younger brother and shot the ball first. Cesar fell to the ground a step slower, and the ball
Rolled into the gate of Inter Milan from close range!
Five minutes after Inter Milan scored, Arsenal equalized the score through a set kick!
The Emirates Stadium immediately turned into a sea of joy. After the previous suffocating silence, being able to see such a goal undoubtedly brought great hope to Arsenal fans!
Manchester United won the Champions League, and Liverpool also won the Champions League! Now it’s our turn!
With this idea in mind, the Arsenal fans let out crazy shouts. They kept shouting loudly at the stadium, hoping that Arsenal could continue to take the lead, even if there were only a few minutes left in the first half.
