624: A good start, sealing the victory of the game?
Arsenal attacked at the beginning of the game, which allowed the fans at the scene to see the determination of the Arsenal people.
But after just one attack, the Arsenal people retreated.
This makes Arsenal fans very uncomfortable.
This tactical play is not our Arsenal at all. Our Arsenal is full attack and full defense, and the scene is very beautiful. Wenger, when did you start to imitate Mourinho?
This somewhat dissatisfied Arsenal fans.
Arsenal fans shouted, reminding Arsenal players to play more proactively and attack.
The camera at the scene immediately scanned Wenger on the sidelines. He was sitting quietly on the sidelines, biting his fingernails, unmoved.
The three central defenders are all out, what's wrong with the defense?
After all, at this time, Arsenal's two wing-backs Bellerin and Kolasinac were positioned relatively deep, directly forming a back five. No wonder Arsenal fans were a little dissatisfied.
At this time, Crystal Palace was very proactive.
After all, this is their home court, and this is how they play.
High pressure in the frontcourt!
Crystal Palace was really unambiguous at all and attacked from all fronts.
This made the Arsenal players a little uncomfortable, because they could feel that the Crystal Palace players were in good condition and the offense was very fierce. Even the defensive players Bellerin and Kolasinac on the wing were both
It feels like the opponent's attacking players seem to move half a beat faster than them.
Bellerin can't keep up with the rhythm here.
At this moment, Salah caught the diagonal pass from midfielder De Bruyne and then directly passed the ball to break through.
Salah held the ball in small steps, with a very fast pace, and while grabbing the ball, he continuously switched between the outside and the instep to move the ball. This made Bellerin have cold sweat on his forehead because he couldn't guess.
Where will Salah break through?
And at this moment, Salah quickly pushed the football near the baseline.
Cancelo rushed up quickly and successfully landed.
Bellerin was startled and immediately turned around and pounced on Cancelo quickly. Unfortunately, Cancelo, who caught up with the football, suddenly made a back pass and knocked the football directly into the penalty area and to Salah's feet.
Bellerin turned around in horror, but it was too late.
Fortunately, right center back Chambers immediately moved over and blocked Salah's direction.
This is the benefit of five defenders!
Salah suddenly pulled the ball laterally towards the center, and Chambers immediately moved his body laterally to block the route.
At the same time, Xhaka, who was outside the penalty area, immediately pounced from behind Salah and attacked Salah from both sides.
The Crystal Palace fans at the scene were a little worried, fearing that the ball was going to be broken!
And at this moment, Salah suddenly passed the ball back in an inverted triangle, sending the football directly to the front of the penalty area. >
Xhaka, who rushed up, stretched his legs immediately when he saw the football, but unfortunately he didn't touch the football at all. The football rolled diagonally behind him and towards the front of the penalty area.
Danger!
De Bruyne rushed forward quickly and hit the football!
Mustafi in the penalty area immediately rushed out and blocked De Bruyne from taking a long shot.
Unexpectedly, De Bruyne, who raised his legs, did not take a long shot at all, but easily pushed the football directly to the penalty spot behind Mustafi!
The football quickly rolled to the feet of Ronaldo in the space in the penalty area!
Arsenal fans who came from afar covered their mouths in horror and widened their eyes.
The Arsenal defensive players in the penalty area immediately raised their hands to signal that Ronaldo was offside. Cech, in front of the goal, was not idle. He rushed out quickly and pounced on Ronaldo.
With a bang, Ronaldo directly met the ball and fired without stopping, quickly sweeping the football towards the lower left corner of the goal.
Cech's reaction was very fast. He reacted immediately, sat down quickly and stretched out his long legs to block the football.
Unfortunately, he did not touch the football at all. The football quickly hit the inside of the lower left post of the goal and bounced into the Arsenal goal.
"Beautiful cooperation! Wonderful goal! C. Ronaldo completed the final blow, a wonderful shot! C. Ronaldo's shot was very wonderful. Cech reacted quickly and still did not hit the football. Beautiful
Goal!" Hiller was still very excited and roared immediately.
"Offside, is this ball offside? All the Arsenal players raised their hands!" Henry shouted out for offside immediately.
This ball does look like it was offside.
After all, Mustafi in the middle rushed out, and the other central defender Koscielny also pushed out at the same time, which seemed to be an offside. From the camera, the ball did look like an offside.
Ronaldo, who scored the goal, ignored him at all. He quickly turned around and rushed out. He rushed to the corner flag area and jumped up, celebrating excitedly "siuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."
The Arsenal players rushed to the referee excitedly, surrounded Oliver in the middle, and roared at Oliver, claiming that the Crystal Palace player was offside and the ball could not be counted!
But the referee Oliver firmly pointed to the center circle, indicating that the goal was valid.
The linesman didn't give any indication either.
"The linesman did not call the ball offside. It should be a good goal, at least the referee thinks so." Mortensen said directly, which made the Arsenal fans in front of the TV very dissatisfied and even very angry.
of anger.
"We can use slow-motion playback to see if the ball is offside. To be honest, it is a bit offside from my point of view. However, this shot is incomplete. It is very likely that someone at the far end delayed it, so the ball was given to a player who was not offside.
Offside," Shearer said.
Henry didn't speak at this time, just nodded!
He knew that if the referee team did not call it offside, then there was only one reasonable explanation. Just watch the replay, just watch the replay and you will know.
At this time, the TV camera began to replay the goal in slow motion.
"Oh, we can see that Kolasinac at the far end was indeed delayed at the end, and his position caused the ball to not be offside. This was a good ball, and neither the referee Oliver nor the linesman had any objections.
The question is, this is a good goal. Congratulations to Crystal Palace, they took the lead!" Mortensen saw the slow-motion replay clearly and said directly.
The Arsenal fans in front of the TV naturally saw it clearly, and he had nothing to say.
This ball is indeed not offside!
Then the Arsenal fans complained crazily about Kolasinac, there is no danger in your position, why do you stand so far back?
These fans began to complain crazily about Kolasinac.
Wenger also stood up on the sidelines to express his dissatisfaction. What's your defensive position for this ball?
Henry said, "This goal was indeed a bit unexpected. Kolasinac's position is very problematic. He conceded the ball right away. This is not a good thing for Arsenal. This game will be
Even more difficult.”
When he said this, Henry sighed.
Sure enough, there are really many problems inside Arsenal at this stage. This game will be very difficult for Arsenal.
Shearer continued, "Beautiful cooperation! Ronaldo's shot was also very exciting. Let us congratulate Crystal Palace. They took the lead. This is a dream start. I think Crystal Palace's victory in this game should be nothing."
The problem is, their condition is too good! On the contrary, Arsenal is a bit... tsk tsk!"
At the end of the sentence, Hiller kept shaking his head.
Arsenal is really bad now.
Henry sighed again after hearing this. Arsenal did have a problem in this game.
It is indeed very difficult for Arsenal to win this game.
The Arsenal fans at the scene couldn't accept it. They roared crazily, stimulating the Arsenal players to step up their attack.
When the game restarted, Arsenal really wanted to strengthen their attack and press out.
But as soon as he pushed it out, the football under his feet was broken.
Crystal Palace's high pressure was so intense that it was difficult for Arsenal's players to deliver the ball.
You have to know that Arsenal's players are very skilled with their feet. Not bad, and the overall strength is very strong, and the passing ability is also very good. It stands to reason that they should be easy to defeat such a high-position press. However, now they are really suppressed, and they are uncomfortable being suppressed.
The ball is very difficult.
This resulted in Arsenal's players frequently choosing to pass back or cross the ball, and rarely pass forward at all.
There are long passes forward.
Passive, Arsenal was very passive at this time, and the Arsenal fans watching the scene were very nervous.
At this moment, Kante, who was pressing forward, intercepted the ball. He immediately gave the football to Casemiro. Casemiro directly spiked the ball and changed direction, avoiding Aubameyang's shot.
Pressing. Then he was about to pass the football to De Bruyne in front, but he didn't know that the goldfish eye immediately came between him and De Bruyne, and the ball could not be passed at all.
Therefore, Casemiro held the ball forward, and after attracting the goldfish's eyes, he suddenly passed the football across the ball.
Cancelo, who was pressing up from the wing, rushed forward quickly and ran with a ball in his hand on the wing.
Arsenal's wing-back Bellerin immediately pressed forward towards Cancelo. At this moment, Cancelo saw the opportunity and suddenly violently passed the ball. The ball passed through Bellerin and instantly passed Bellerin.
Seeing this, Wenger on the coaching bench involuntarily tightened his grip on his hands, and with a click, the zipper of the clothes in his hand was instantly broken, and the puller was pulled off.
This shows that Wenger is anxious and nervous.
On the wing, Cancelo easily beat Bellerin and immediately accelerated the ball towards Arsenal's penalty area.
In the penalty area, Salah directly blocked Chambers in front of him, leaving more space for Cancelo.
The Arsenal fans at the scene became nervous, and even some timid fans could not stand it anymore and closed their eyes.
"Oh, go up and intercept, we can't let him break through so easily. We have to intercept!" Henry was anxious when he saw this, and immediately roared loudly, reminding Arsenal's defensive players to defend.
But at this time, Bellerin can't keep up and Chambers is blocked. Who can stop Cancelo?
There is no one around, it’s very dangerous!
Xhaka quickly retreated and pounced on Cancelo, but it was too late!
Cancelo has already entered Arsenal's penalty area and is directly facing Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech. Yes, Petr Cech reacted very quickly and rushed over quickly, blocking the near corner of the goal and preventing Cancelo from shooting.
opportunity.
And at this moment, Cancelo suddenly swung his legs quickly and was about to force a shot.
Arsenal's players are facing a formidable enemy.
Unfortunately, Cancelo didn't shoot at all at this time, but flicked his ankle and directly pushed the football to the back.
Mbappe rushed up from behind and was unguarded, slamming the football into the Arsenal goal.
